"Sister Danruo, don't you blame me? You're still willing to take me home."
Zhang Xiao looked at Su Danruo with tears in her eyes.
Sudanruo held Zhang Xiao's hand and said distressedly:
"Silly child, how could I blame you? I was also your age, and women can understand women best."
Zhang Xiao also wanted to ask her lover why he was so cruel to her, so she agreed.
Qi Heng and Sudanruo gave Zhang Xiao two days to sort out the affairs of the pharmacy.
The two of them also took advantage of these two days to have a good time.
Two days later, the three of them set off.
Along the way, Sudan Ruo was very concerned about Zhang Xiao.
Are you kidding? This ancestor has his own grandson in his belly!
What if she can’t stand the bumpy ride in the carriage?
When Sudan saw that Zhang Xiao was suffering from severe morning sickness, he secretly put his pregnancy-maintaining pills into the water Zhang Xiao was drinking.
Zhang Xiao didn't feel uncomfortable or nauseous for the next few days, and Su Danruo finally felt relieved.
It was not until Zhang Xiao arrived at the imperial city that he realized that his future parents-in-law, whom he had been living with day and night, were actually the retired emperor and empress.
Her lover turned out to be the current emperor.
Since she knew the identities of the two, Zhang Xiao felt so nervous for the first time in her life, even more nervous than the first time she gave someone an acupuncture.
But she no longer had the chance to regret, since she was here she had to face it.
Sultan arranged for Zhang Xiao to live in his palace.
If the Sultan didn't have so many prejudices about family background, he would think that Zhang Xiao would definitely become the queen in the future. In that case, it would be better for her to move into Kunning Palace earlier.
Anyway, I was going out to play with Qi Heng, and I wouldn't be back in the palace often.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Qi Ji came to pay his respects to the two.
When he entered the room, he saw the lover he had been thinking about day and night.
Qi Ji was stunned, not knowing how Zhang Xiao got together with his father, the emperor, and his mother.
They were brought into the palace.
Qi Heng was furious when he saw his disappointing son.
"You bastard! Get down on your knees and admit your mistake!"
Qi Ji was also stunned by his father's shout and knelt down reflexively.
Then he remembered that he didn't know what he had done wrong, bowed to Qi Heng and asked:
"I don't know what I did wrong, please enlighten me, Father."
When Sudan saw his son like this, he knew there might be some misunderstanding, so he grabbed Qi Heng's hand and signaled him to let him ask.
"Ji'er, my mother wants to ask you, do you still remember the woman beside her?"
Qi Ji quickly spoke:
"Of course I remember, Mother. This is my savior during my training among the common people, and also... my beloved."
Seeing that his son was brave enough to take responsibility and had no intention of disappointing the girl, Qi Heng snorted coldly and turned his head away without looking at his son proudly.
When Zhang Xiao heard Qi Ji say that she was his beloved, she could no longer hold back her tears.
She was nervous all the way, afraid that after meeting Qi Ji, he would not want to recognize her.
Now she finally felt relieved, because Qi Ji still had her in his heart.
Su Danruo patted Zhang Xiao's hand to comfort her.
When Qi Ji saw Zhang Xiao crying, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.
I guess it must be because I left too hastily that made her sad.
Qi Ji said:
"Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye, nor did I mean to lie to you. I was just afraid that if you knew my identity, you would not want to be with me."
Zhang Xiao was crying so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't speak at all.
If the Sultan saw this, he would know that this was a good opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between the two, and he had to speak!
So he pretended to be angry and asked on behalf of Zhang Xiao:
"Then why did you leave without saying anything, leaving Xiaoxiao alone?"
Qi Ji knew that his mother was giving him a chance to explain to Xiao Xiao, so he quickly replied:
"To answer your mother, I received a summons from my father that day. The summons said that he was unwell, so I hurried back. In my haste, I forgot to inform Xiaoxiao."
"Only after returning did I realize that my father had nothing to do. He just wanted to hold the coming-of-age ceremony for me as soon as possible so that he could hand over the difficult job of being the emperor to me."
Upon hearing this, Sudan Ruo glared at Qi Heng angrily.
Qi Heng touched his nose guiltily. He did this just to take his wife out to play earlier!
"I left a letter for Xiaoxiao! Didn't Xiaoxiao see it?"
Zhang Xiao shook his head to indicate that he had not seen the letter.
The misunderstanding between the two was resolved, and Sultan Ruo had no reason to keep Zhang Xiao in his palace, so he let Qi Ji take Zhang Xiao away.
Qi Ji felt heartbroken when he heard Zhang Xiao talk about what happened after he left.
He discussed with Zhang Xiao and wanted to make Zhang Xiao officially his wife.
But Zhang Xiao didn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life. She preferred her life in the small pharmacy.
Besides, the former dynasty and the harem are one and the same.
It was only after Qi Heng had gained a firm foothold that he was able to disband the harem for the Sultan.
In addition, Sudan Ruo himself is capable and valuable, and Qi Heng has an iron-blooded approach and his word is final, which makes people dare not say anything.
Qi Ji's personality is not as cold and ruthless as his father's. He is completely different from Qi Heng.
Zhang Xiao didn't believe that Qi Ji could have only one queen in his life like Qi Heng.
Qi Ji's repeated attempts to persuade her were in vain. Zhang Xiao even said that if Qi Ji forced her again, she would run away and never let Qi Ji find her again.
Qi Ji could only give up for now, thinking that he would have a chance to persuade Zhang Xiao slowly in the future.
