Qi Junyi frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing him like that, Jiang Lingyue reached out and pushed him, "Qi Hengzhi, you don't want a child, but I do. You said that we will only be husband and wife in this life and not king and subject, so you can't decide this matter alone."

The determined girl opened her mouth and began to talk. "I've lived two lives, both of them with you, but I haven't even been your mother once. Isn't that such a pity?"

After saying this, they both thought of the child they were not destined to be with.

Qi Junyi looked calm. He stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms and touched her belly.

"Do you really want to give birth?" After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid of the pain of pregnancy for ten months and the pain of childbirth?"

"...I'm not afraid," Jiang Lingyue sniffed, "I want my own child."

I haven't had children of my own in either lifetime.

This is two lifetimes!

Not to mention her previous life, she was so sick that she couldn't give birth to any children.

But it’s different in this life. The poison in her body has been eliminated and she is very strong now.

"Okay then," Qi Junyi nodded gently, "but you have to promise me that we will only have one child, whether it's a prince or a princess. Even if it's a princess, you are not allowed to use the throne as an excuse, okay?"

...Look at that reluctant tone.

Jiang Lingyue agreed, but her eyes were still full of resentment. "How much do you not want a child?"

Qi Junyi forced a smile and said nothing.

What's good about children?

He only raised one child in his two lifetimes, and that child caused him to lose his beloved.

The concept of "offspring" has long been not a good thing in Qi Junyi's mind.

It would be great to have a biological child with both of their bloodlines, but childbirth is risky. Even with all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, there is still no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

He didn't dare take any risk of losing her again.

But she asked him for the child.

He couldn't ignore her wishes.

Seeing that this person didn't speak for a long time, he looked like he regretted agreeing to it.

The usually calm and composed person now looked unhappy and showed signs of anxiety.

Jiang Lingyue became alert.

To prevent him from changing his mind again, she struck while the iron was hot and said, "Then don't drink the medicine, and don't burn incense anymore."

"..." Qi Junyi took a deep breath and patted her head, "Okay."

The child is still nowhere to be seen, but he is already getting anxious.

…………

Dali Temple.

After a sleepless night tossing and turning, Xie An Ning, who was preoccupied with many things, was awakened by a noise in the courtyard.

When I opened my eyes, everything I saw was unfamiliar.

A strange place, a strange room, strange furnishings.

She was stunned for a long time before she realized where she was.

New Year's Eve had passed, and on the first day of the new year, she still couldn't go home and see her daughter.

My heart felt empty, and a cold wind was blowing in from all directions, raging violently.

The endless emptiness made her close her eyes.

She was over thirty years old and had enough experience, but she still couldn't bear this disaster. I don't know how Wan'er is doing.

After calming down, she let out a long sigh, got out of bed, and walked to the window.

Outside the courtyard, the snow had not yet melted, and the ground was covered with silver. A man in tight clothes had a stern look on his face, holding a spear in his hand, with sharp moves and awe-inspiring momentum.

He doesn't look like a civil servant at all.

Xie An Ning watched for a few moments. Ishihara Qing, who was practicing with a spear, seemed to sense something. He paused his movements and turned his head to look over here.

The cold and solemn air around him disappeared, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at her with a smile.
