When Dugu Chen saw her smiling, his deep eyes suddenly brightened up like a child who had been praised. He held her hand, made her sit on the couch, and personally took the tea from the palace maid's hand and handed it to her.
Seeing how attentive he was, Su Qingyi knew that he was still afraid and guilty about what happened that day, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "If I don't bow and people look at me, I don't know what they will say."
"Who dares to speak against you, I will kill him" Dugu Chen frowned and said seriously
Su Qingyi pulled him to sit next to her and reached out to touch his frowning eyebrows. "If you kill people at every turn, wouldn't you become a tyrant?"
Dugu Chen held her hand and chuckled: "As long as you are good, I don't care what others say."
Su Qingyi's smile deepened, she leaned on his chest and said, "How can I be willing to let people talk about you?"
Seeing Su Qingyi like this, Dugu Chen hugged her carefully and said, "I thought you... were angry..."
Su Qingyi raised her head and looked at him, "Angry? Why are you angry?"
"That day..." Dugu Chen frowned again, "I really don't know what happened that day."
Su Qingyi reached out to cover his lips and said, "No need to explain, I know, I believe you."
"Really?" Dugu Chen's eyes were a little surprised and a little touched.
Su Qingyi nodded and said: "As long as your heart is with me, it's enough. Anything else is up to you."
Dugu Chen hugged her, remained silent for a long time, and said: "If I hadn't been born in an emperor's family, if I hadn't had so many involuntary choices, I would have lived with you as a couple for the rest of my life."
Su Qingyi chuckled lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? These things are not something you or I can choose or control. Now that we have come to this point, we don't have to think about them anymore. You understand, I understand, that's enough."
Dugu Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, these words entered his heart
At this time, the only woman who can understand him, love him, and accompany him is her.
Dugu Chen stretched out his hand, gently caressed her belly, and said softly: "When he grows up in the future, I will give him the throne, and then we will travel around the world together."
Su Qingyi covered his hand and said softly: "How do you know it's a son? Maybe it's a daughter?"
Dugu Chen kissed her softly, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, I will definitely give her the throne. Moreover, I only want this one child. I only want us to have one child."
Although he really wanted to dream about her having children and grandchildren, and he also wanted to believe that their children would not kill each other for power, but he knew that all of this was just what he dreamed of.
The reality is that even if you are born in an imperial family, you have no desire to fight for it, but you can’t help yourself. Lao Jiu is an example.
He hated the estrangement between brothers, and how ruthless they were for a throne. He didn't want their children to follow in the footsteps of him and Lao Jiu. No one could understand such pain, let alone bear it.
Su Qingyi naturally knew what he was thinking. She had gone through so much with him. She had seen the ruthlessness of the emperor's family, the killings between brothers, the conspiracies, and the hell on earth.
I also personally...did something that I will never be able to forgive myself for in my life.
She still remembers that year, when she first met in Dugu City. There were many princes and princesses, but he only loved her as if he were his own child.
On that day, he must have never thought that his life would be lost in the hands of the person closest to him.
