After the Empress became a mother, the system gave me the Immortal Emperor's cultivation

In the Qianqing Palace, Xiaobing left and she was the only one left in the palace.

Ye Qinglian clenched her fists and stared at the palace door.

I really don't have much of an appetite. My appetite has been getting worse these days...

Apart from handling court affairs, she had no interest in anything else, and she couldn't even practice cultivation.

But the affairs of state had been greatly reduced now, and she had too much free time to think about these things.

But Ye Qinglian had never encountered such a thing before, so how could she figure it out in such a short time...

Her thoughts are extremely complicated.

But Ye Qinglian felt it was very strange.

Her connection with Chu Ning didn't seem to be very deep at all. It was just one night, and she was taken to the palace not long after that.

How could she change her attitude towards Chu Ning just because of a few meals?

But even though I warned myself in my heart, I still couldn't help thinking about it.

She felt that their relationship shouldn't be so strained.

Even if it was what she asked for at the beginning, but now...

I always feel like I owe Chu Ning something.

She didn't know whether Chu Ning would come.

But she hoped it would be Chu Ning who came, so that she could have a chance to explain to Chu Ning what happened that day. She was not being deliberately distant, nor was it her intention...

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't hear any footsteps.

Ye Qinglian lowered her beautiful eyes and returned to the bed.

It seems that this is really the only way?

It seemed like this was her original intention, but she felt uneasy.

Why make it so difficult for her...

You can just stay in the harem and you won't lack anything. Is it not possible to do it like before?

The more he did this, the more he felt indebted to Chu Ning, especially when he thought that Chu Ning might not even have any intention of becoming regent, this feeling became more and more intense...

The key point is that Chu Ning does not want any reward, and he is not even interested in the cultivation techniques that everyone dreams of. She simply cannot think of anything to compensate Chu Ning for what he has done for the Daqian Dynasty and for her...

There was a creaking sound, as if the door was opening.

She turned her head suddenly and looked towards the door.

There is nothing, just the slightest movement.

Her eyes became more and more complicated, and she didn't even know why she was so sensitive.

"I heard from Xiaobing that His Majesty has had a poor appetite recently. Is it because the food doesn't suit His Majesty's taste?"

Just as Ye Qinglian was about to rest, the door of the palace slowly opened.

Ye Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Ning coming towards her with a bowl in his hand, and was distracted for a moment.

But then he realized that he was only wearing a bellyband, so he quickly pulled over his coat and put it on.

Chu Ning just looked indifferent and put down the bowl of noodles.

"Your Majesty, this is not only harmful to yourself, but also to the child in your womb. You should eat at least a little."

He spoke slowly, while Ye Qinglian, who was lying on the bed opposite him, also had a blank expression on her face.

"What if I don't want to eat?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, you can summon the Imperial Kitchen to make it now. However, it depends on what flavor Your Majesty wants. I will send Xiaobing to summon the Imperial Kitchen."

The moment she turned around, Ye Qinglian's heart suddenly tightened and she immediately called out to stop.

"You must treat me like this, don't you? That day I was just reminding you not to get involved in the affairs of my dynasty, and you're still like this. Do you think I owe you anything?"

"You broke into my retreat without permission and had sex with me. I saw you were just a mortal, so I didn't have the heart to kill you. I even had Xiaobing take care of you for a few days, and even left you some money after you left the palace. If it weren't for this, how could you have rested for so long in the Imperial City?"

"Now that I have a child in my belly, it's not only mine, it's yours too. Why are you ignoring me like this?"

Chu Ning turned around, his expression clearly confused.

"But aren't these what His Majesty asked for after letting me into the palace?"

Ye Qinglian was stunned for a moment, her expression becoming even more complicated. "Did Xiaobing tell you to do this? You're playing hard to get to win me over. You've made me feel indebted to you through your administration. This is exactly what I've been waiting for..."

"I'm aware of everything she did. I just tacitly agreed and didn't say anything. If that's the case..."

Chu Ning shook his head and said calmly, "I haven't said anything to Xiao Bing these past few days. I've just been doing what I should do. That's the truth."

"Since I have been following Your Majesty's plans and requests in the palace, I will naturally not affect Your Majesty's future plans. I heard that Your Majesty didn't eat anything tonight, which is not good for your health. You should eat quickly. It's getting late, so I will go back to rest."

Ye Qinglian suddenly stood up and glared, "Do you know how important the dynasty is to me? If you were an ordinary person, I wouldn't say anything. But your strategy and scheming far surpass anyone else in the dynasty today. No one in the five dynasties can do what you casually say. This shows that your plan is far more advanced than this!"

"Before the late emperor passed away, the only thing he entrusted to me was to take good care of the Daqian Dynasty. Apart from this, I can agree to anything you want. Why are you so stubborn?"

Chu Ning smiled and looked over: "Then why does Your Majesty think that I have ideas about the dynasty?"

"You treat me like this just to get my attention. Isn't it because of this that you can run rampant in the dynasty in the future?"

"What if I am here just for Your Majesty and the unborn child?"

Ye Qinglian was stunned for a moment, her expression became more complicated, and for a moment she was unable to find any words to answer this question.

Yes, what if it wasn’t for her own thoughts of wanting to interfere with the dynasty, but just because of her and the child in her belly?

After all, if she hadn't asked at the beginning and wanted Chu Ning to explain it more clearly, Chu Ning's words would have just ended with "not presentable", and there would have been no follow-up to write about the extremely detailed new political system, and this new political system was for her to better control the dynasty.

Chu Ning looked at Ye Qinglian in front of him and said helplessly, "Your Majesty is very defensive and doesn't trust anyone but himself. Since nothing I say is meaningful, it's better not to say anything. Your Majesty will think that my words are just for explanation anyway."

"Perhaps His Majesty will think that I am explaining this for the sake of the previous incident. There seems to be no point in saying it."

Ye Qinglian's mood seemed to have fallen to the extreme, and she stared at Chu Ning in front of her.

"Do you insist on treating me this way? What if I trust you?"

"If Your Majesty trusts me, then you should eat this bowl of noodles. At least I just made it for Your Majesty."

Ye Qinglian's eyes fell on the bowl of noodles on the table. Even though it was a bit simple, it could at least ease the relationship between the two of them a little.

But at this moment, Chu Ning bowed.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty, please finish your meal and go to bed. You and I haven't gotten married yet, so it's against the rules to stay here."

Ye Qinglian stood up instantly and stared coldly at Chu Ning's back!

"Why are you so unwilling to even discuss this matter with me now? You have to wait for me to threaten you with my unborn child!"

"You think I don't trust you, right? You won't believe anything I say? Fine!"

Ye Qinglian has a cold voice and sharp eyes!

"Tomorrow I will break those so-called rules and directly confer upon you the title of Emperor. You will be allowed to govern before the emperor, control the six ministries, and command all the armies of the land!"

"Even if you don't want to be regent, you must go now. You and I will handle the government affairs together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her aura disappeared instantly and her breath quickly softened.

"I've given you everything I could, can you please stop being like this? You're already the Emperor, are we going to have such a stiff relationship forever..."

Chu Ning turned and looked at Ye Qinglian: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat first..."

"If you leave, I won't eat. At most, I'll lose three lives!"

She was extremely determined. If Chu Ning still wanted to leave, she would tie him up!

Although Ye Qinglian's mind is complicated at the moment, she never drags her feet in doing things!

No one can leave until we finish what we have to say today!
