It was not until Xu Yixing drank the medicine that Lu Anyuan called Mr. Yao over and scolded him, blaming him for telling him about his illness.

"It's not that serious. The Crown Princess is just suffering from a normal deficiency after giving birth. I said this because I thought that she would not run around and make trouble if she knew that she was not in good health. This would also save your Majesty the trouble of looking for her."

Lu Anyuan's expression improved a lot after hearing this, but he still said, "If she runs away again, I will never look for her again, what a heartless woman!"

At night, Lu Anyuan walked towards Lanyuan wearing a cloak, braving the strong wind in Miaozhou that could blow over the roof. The place he was in was specially cleaned by the Miaozhou governor when he heard that the emperor was going to lead the army in person. However, not many people knew that he had arrived, so the courtyard was locked and extremely quiet.

When Lu Anyuan entered the room, there were still two people staying in the room to watch over it. When they saw him come in, they bowed silently and left.

He walked towards the innermost bed. The person on the bed was already fast asleep, with only the sound of their even breathing being heard, which was particularly alluring.

Lu Anyuan stood by the bed for a long time, making sure she was really asleep, then he quietly sat on the edge of the bed, and observed the person in front of him carefully in the dim moonlight. Well, she's thinner, a lot thinner, her face is pointed, and she looks dry from being blown by the wind all day.

I always see other people gain weight after giving birth, but why does she look so haggard after giving birth?

Lu Anyuan's mind was wavering, and his hand unconsciously touched her cheek.

"Hmm..." Xu Yixing felt someone touching him and groaned, which scared Lu Anyuan so much that he immediately turned to hide behind the bed. After hearing no movement for a long time, he returned to the bed.

"Heartless!" He cursed softly, and reached into the quilt and held her hand. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, Lu Anyuan felt like he saw her every day. This time he must not let her run away again!

His fingertips felt slightly warmer, as if someone was holding a few of his fingers. By the time he reacted and wanted to pull his hand back, it was already too late.

Xu Yixing opened his eyes and looked at him with a sleepy smile: "Why are you here so late at night?"

Lu Anyuan was like a thief who was caught. He took his hand out quickly, his face still showing an unhappy expression: "I heard that the Crown Princess's time is coming up, so I came to see her, fearing that I would not be able to see her if I was any later."

Xu Yixing wiped her face. When she took the medicine in the afternoon, she figured it out. How could her situation be as bad as Mr. Yao said? It was obvious that he was just scaring her, or he was following Lu Anyuan's order to make her die and escape. So when she heard this now, she was not very scared, but just pretended to shed a few tears in a very "sad" way:

"I'm also afraid that I'll never see you again."

Lu Anyuan's breath stagnated. What did this mean? She still thought about him? If she did, why didn't she return to Beijing? Why did she run away in the first place?

"I suppose you're afraid you'll see me again?"

"How could that be? No matter how hard I travel these days, I always think about the news from the capital. Now that I know that you have successfully ascended the throne, I have no more unfulfilled wishes... But when I saw you today, I saw that you still call me the Crown Princess. It is obvious that you don't want me to stay by your side. Why should I stick to you so stubbornly?"

Xu Yixing said half of what she said, she was not heartless to Lu Anyuan, how could she not think about him? The other half was also to remind herself that he was the emperor now, and his life was completely contrary to what she wanted, and she must not ruin her lifelong freedom because of the entanglement in front of her.

"You..." Lu Anyuan felt that his originally determined heart was now a little shaken. It was clearly she who abandoned him, so how could it be that he didn't want her anymore?

“If you had stayed in the capital, wouldn’t the position of Queen be yours now? Since you don’t want to be my Queen, why did you pretend to be so happy before? But remember, even if you don’t want to be Queen, you are still my wife, and I have never divorced you. You can just be the Crown Princess for the rest of your life!” Putting away his previous gaffe, Lu Anyuan now sat upright, with an invisible aura around him.

Xu Yixing propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, staring at his profile for a long time, suddenly stretched out his arms and wrapped them around his waist, and kissed him on the cheek.

"You!" Lu Anyuan suddenly stood up, and the person hanging on his waist was also lifted up, causing a small scream. Realizing that Yixing was almost dragged to the ground by him, he quickly stopped and sat back, but his face turned red and his chest rose and fell.

What on earth is she doing!

Seeing him like this, Xu Yixing withdrew his arm with satisfaction, wrapped the quilt again, and just looked at him with satisfaction. Well, he still hasn't made any progress in the past six months, and he can't stand any stimulation.

Lu Anyuan felt the person next to him withdraw his hand. His body relaxed, but he felt an unstoppable disappointment in his heart. Why did he let go so quickly?

"You stay here and don't go out. Wait until I pacify those barbarians and come back to the capital with me!"

"All right. I'll listen to you." It didn't matter whether she returned to the capital or not. She would have a chance to come out after returning. As long as he accepted Xiaobao as his son, she would have nothing to worry about.

Seeing her so well-behaved, Lu Anyuan suddenly became suspicious: "Your brother, your maid, and your good sisters Gao and Wu are all in jail. I want to interrogate you and find out what you were up to!"

"It's none of their business. They and I just met by chance."

"Really? Then the shadow guard who escaped was also an accidental encounter. You didn't take him away on purpose?"

Xu Yixing nodded. That was the truth. Ying Wu came here on his own accord. I didn’t bring him here.

"Hmph!" Lu Anyuan flicked his sleeves and strode away. Before leaving, he could only hear the person on the bed seemed to say "I'll wait for you~" or something. He did not stop to turn back, but just left Lanyuan panting.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qin Li, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to when he saw the emperor was preoccupied with the lawsuit.

"No matter what she says, you can't let her leave this yard, understand?"

"Yes, the servant will give the order."

After giving him another warning, Lu Anyuan finally left with peace of mind. What she said just now, that she would listen to him, was probably just a delaying tactic. As long as he relaxed for a moment, she would definitely find a chance to escape! No, Lu Anyuan suddenly stopped, and Qin Li almost bumped into him from behind. He only saw His Majesty suddenly look back at the direction of Lanyuan, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

"His Majesty?"

"When will the imperial procession arrive?"

"It is expected to be within the next two days."

"Okay! Send a message to the Miaozhou officials, saying that I am going to Miaozhou with the Queen, and ask them to welcome me in two days!"
