After Hong Gui went out, Ye Xun turned to look at Zhi Xin. Even though she pretended not to care and still had a smile on her face, how could Ye Xun not see such a forced smile? He hoped that she would care, but...
Her expression made his heart twitch.
She finally got closer to this girl, but because of this sudden child, there was another layer of separation. She had been thinking about leaving the palace all day, and now that he and Concubine Xiang had a child, that meant something to her.
What?
Ye Xun, listen, emotionally, we are equal!
What Zhixin said to him in the afternoon flashed through her mind. She hoped that they would be equal, but how could they become equal, especially now that Concubine Xiang was pregnant with his child.
"Xin'er..." Ye Xun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhi Xin.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you will be the father of the Emperor soon." Zhixin always maintained a smile on her face, but perhaps only she understood how sad she felt, and tears were always ready to come out. She admired herself for this
His endurance was enough to hide his tears.
"I……"
"Go and see Concubine Xiang. She needs you more now, so I'll go back first." She tried her best to sound calmer, but she still felt the slight tremor.
After walking around Ye Xun, she paused subconsciously, then lifted her feet and walked out.
"Xin'er..." Ye Xun pulled her and frowned.
Zhixin turned her head, looked at Ye Xun, and smiled lightly, "When you become a father, you shouldn't have such an expression." She stretched out her hand and smoothed his frown.
"Xin'er." Ye Xun held her hand, but couldn't say a word.
"Okay, I'm going back, Lu'er is waiting for me." As he said that, he quickly pulled his hand away from Ye Xun's hand, turned around and left quickly.
Outside, it was pouring rain all the time. Zhixin ran in the heavy rain, and the road ahead became blurry. She felt her cheeks were warm, and when it reached her mouth, there was a little salty taste.
The speed of her feet slowed down a bit. She was walking in the rain, with a big stone weighing on her heart. Even her steps seemed to be shackled, and she felt tired with every step she took.
