The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao did not continue speaking, Shen Jingxuan hugged his arms with both hands, her dark almond eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was just looking at her motionlessly, she gently shook his arm, "Ah Xiao, if we leave the palace now, we can still reach the Royal Villa before dark."

Xie Lingxiao chuckled, "Are you so anxious to leave the palace?"

He glanced at the sky outside. The two of them had just returned to the palace only half a day ago.

Shen Jingxuan nodded, "Let's go quickly, it will be too late if we are late."

Just like that, Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan hurried back to the palace. In just half a day, they left the palace again.

For Shen Jingxuan, she just slept in the palace.

In the imperial study, the retired emperor sighed as he looked at the memorials on the desk.

When he looked up at the empty imperial study, his face darkened again.

Thinking that Xie Ziling had disregarded the father-son relationship and secretly escaped from the imperial study, the more the emperor looked at the seat where he had sat, the more irritating it became.

His good sons, one tried his best to help Xie Lingxiao fill the national treasury, and the other reviewed memorials day and night.

No one cares about him as their father.

The retired emperor had no one to vent his grievances to, so he could only continue to lower his head and review memorials.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the emperor raised his hand and gently rubbed his sore eyes.

When his eyes returned to normal, he stood up and walked towards the palace door.

He had to stay in the imperial study all day every day, but during meal times, he would go back to accompany the Grand Concubine.

The door of the imperial study was opened and the emperor walked out slowly.

When the guards at the gate saw him leave, they started talking to the people around them.

"Have you heard? The emperor has left the palace again."

The leaving emperor paused and slowed down, but his ears were still perked up.

"I heard that the emperor took the queen to the royal villa."

"Hey, the Emperor really dotes on the Empress."

"That's right. The Queen heard that there was a treasure in the Royal Courtyard, so the Emperor agreed to take her there."

"..."

The retired emperor had already stopped walking, and he froze in place as he listened to what the others said.

The words of the guards kept echoing in his mind, and he stood there for a long time without moving an inch.

The emperor took the queen out of the palace.

They went to the Royal Villa.

At this time, the emperor no longer cared about accompanying the imperial concubine and only wanted to get to the royal villa as soon as possible.

He knew very well how much Xie Lingxiao doted on Shen Jingxuan.

Now that Shen Jingxuan knows about his baby, she wants to go to the royal villa, so Xie Lingxiao can't wait until tomorrow.

If Shen Jingxuan wants to use his treasure to nourish her body...

If he went too late, he was worried that all the treasures would be gone.

The retired emperor did not expect that when he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the people guarding the gate.

"Why won't you let me leave the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor ordered before he left that you are not allowed to step out of the palace."

"He is the emperor, and I am the emperor emeritus. How dare you stop me?"

The anger in the emperor's heart continued to grow.

Xie Lingxiao actually did such a thing. He took the queen to the royal villa and didn't let her leave.

Even when he left the palace, he did not forget to give instructions for everything.

He has done so many things that he doesn't even know about.

The emperor became more and more angry. He raised his hand and pointed at the gatekeepers, "If you don't let me leave the palace, I will take your heads."

"Plop..." Several gatekeepers knelt down and begged for mercy.

The emperor said the same thing when he left the palace.

They knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, please go back."

"Grand Emperor, please forgive us. If you leave the palace, the Emperor will not let us go."

"Your Majesty, when the Emperor left the palace, he said that if he lets you go, I will be beheaded when he returns to the palace."

"We have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so we beg the Emperor to return to the palace."

"..."

The people guarding the palace gate were talking to each other, and their words fell into the ears of the retired emperor, which was like a bolt from the blue, and it struck him completely to pieces.

Xie Lingxiao is such a piece of shit.

He actually used such words to threaten the people guarding the palace gate, just to prevent him from leaving the palace and going to the royal villa.

The emperor didn't know what to do at this time.

If he insisted on leaving the palace, he was worried that Xie Lingxiao would really take their lives.

But if he doesn't leave the palace, who will save his treasures?

Just as he was racking his brains to figure it out, the voice of the Grand Concubine sounded behind him, "Grand Emperor? Are you leaving the palace?"

"I won't leave the palace." The emperor suddenly turned around with a smile on his face.

The people guarding the palace gate looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

The Grand Concubine asked gently, "Why didn't you go to eat, but came to the palace gate instead?"

The Emperor, with a face full of smiles, walked quickly to the side of the Imperial Concubine and said, "I just came to take a look."

After saying this, without waiting for the Grand Concubine to say anything, he took her hand and led her out of the palace gate.

After several years of getting along, the emperor got to know the concubine very well.

If she knew that he didn't go back for dinner in time because he was thinking about those treasures, she would probably be angry and avoid her again.

It's okay if this happens once, it must never happen a second time.

The retired emperor finally had no choice but to accompany the royal concubine back for dinner.

Ling Chen hid in the dark and took everything in. In the blink of an eye, a letter was quickly sent out of the palace and delivered to Xie Lingxiao.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the contents of the letter and raised his dark eyebrows.

He never knew that his good brother was so afraid of the Imperial Concubine.

When he threatened the retired emperor with the Grand Concubine, he was just trying to test him.

Unexpectedly, this time there was a shocking discovery.

Xie Lingxiao put away the letter and shook his head secretly as he looked at Shen Jingxuan who was sleeping beside him.

In the palace, no matter what he said, she refused to listen and was determined to come to the royal villa.

But not long after leaving the palace, she fell asleep again, and did not wake up until the carriage stopped in front of the royal villa.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the dark sky outside and slowly closed his eyes.

The days of running around, coupled with being too worried about Shen Jingxuan, made him unable to eat or sleep well.

Now, after being comforted by Madam Shen and Mrs. Hao, he felt a little relieved and soon fell asleep.

On the second day, Shen Jingxuan woke up early because of hunger. She rubbed her stomach gently and slowly opened her eyes.

When their eyes met, she saw the helpless smile on Xie Lingxiao's face.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yeah." Shen Jingxuan responded softly.

Xie Lingxiao gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Wait, I'll bring you some food."

After saying that, he stood up and left the room.

Shen Jingxuan looked at his disappearing figure, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up.

With his meticulous care, this pregnancy seems to be much easier than the first one.

At least I don't have to worry about other things all day, and he is with me.

After Shen Jingxuan got up, she had breakfast with Xie Lingxiao, who then took her to the yard.

She looked at the scene in the yard in shock, not knowing what words to use to describe it.
