There were thousands of words in his heart, but Wen Yuan tried his best to hold them back.
Feeling uneasy, the group finally arrived at Yonghe Palace.
Following previous practice, Nanny Li prepared to help Wen Yuan get out of the sedan chair.
Wen Yuan didn't move.
"Ling'er, come here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ling'er tactfully squeezed next to Li Ma'am, and taking advantage of the night, she skillfully arched her butt slightly and pushed Li Ma'am away.
Nanny Li's eyebrows twitched. She never expected that this wild girl from the countryside was such a character that could not be underestimated.
Now that the Empress has taken a fancy to Ling'er, Nanny Li knew that speaking out at this moment would be seen as jealousy, so she closed her mouth and silently took two steps back.
After Wen Yuan got out of the sedan chair, Nanny Li followed behind them and looked Ling'er up and down.
Ling'er was serving the imperial concubine for the first time, but she was not timid at all. She seemed to have memorized the layout of Yonghe Palace at a glance. She took the imperial concubine's hand affectionately and went straight into the house.
Just as Nanny Li stepped over the threshold, Wen Yuan stopped her: "Nanny Li, please close the door for me. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
"But, Madam..."
"Madame Li!" Wen Yuan interrupted her, glaring at her coldly: "Close the door!"
No matter how much Nanny Li said, she walked out with her head lowered and closed the door.
After Nanny Li's footsteps disappeared in the distance of the corridor, Wen Yuan bolted the door from the inner room.
She was rarely thankful that this was ancient times and there was no high technology. Li Zhao couldn't install eavesdropping devices in the house, and even the secret guards couldn't enter her bedroom.
This enclosed space is still safe for the time being.
Wen Yuan had been holding back his excitement and sadness all the way, and finally couldn't help it.
There were tears in her eyes, her breathing was rapid, and her hands were trembling slightly. She rarely lost her composure like this, but at this moment she decided to throw in the towel and ignore everything.
Ling'er understood that she was so happy that she was at a loss, and she walked forward and held Wen Yuan's hand with heartache.
"Ayuan, it's me, I'm back."
This was Ji Xingyao's voice, and it was not at all like Ling'er, Su Jinnian's personal maid in Suhe Hall.
Wen Yuan had so many things he wanted to ask her, but his emotions were so fluctuating that the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a single word.
Her chest was filled with acid and her eyes were blurry.
Seeing her like this, Ji Xingyao felt sad for no reason.
"I'm sorry, I was too selfish and left you here alone. Don't cry, Yuan."
Ji Xingyao carefully avoided Wen Yuan's bulging belly, hugged her, and gently stroked her back.
After a long time, when the candle on the candlestick was half burned, Wen Yuan's mood finally calmed down.
She pulled Ji Xingyao to sit down and finally asked the question she wanted to ask most.
"Why are you back? Did the system ask you to do another task?"
I finally got away from this world and was about to enjoy a good life, but why did I come back again?
Ji Xingyao shook his head: "I asked to come back on my own initiative."
"What?" Wen Yuan was stunned: "Are you stupid? What are you doing back?"
Ji Xingyao knew she would be angry, so she pinched her fingers flatteringly: "Ayuan, don't scold me, I'm just worried about you."
Her eyes drooped, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow.
"Look at you, you're already pregnant. Didn't we agree before that no matter who gets pregnant first, the other one will take care of her? Now that she's about to give birth, I'm late."
Ji Xingyao lowered her head in self-blame, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She wished Wen Yuan would scold her.
How could Wen Yuan bear to scold her.
"Putting my story aside for now, what's wrong with you? Did the system assign you a new identity?"
They had been brought into the Taifeng Dynasty together by the system, and their appearances were identical to their original appearances. When Ji Xingyao was in the Suhe Hall, she deliberately changed her voice until they were alone in the room, and then Ji Xingyao returned to her original voice.
Wen Yuan wondered why his voice didn't change but his face did.
Ji Xingyao waved at her mysteriously: "I'll perform a magic trick for you."
She touched the back of her ear with her fingers, rubbed it a few times, and then slowly tore off a human skin mask, revealing Ji Xingyao's original face.
