Qi Xingchen didn't speak. Just now he saw the murderous look in Hua Ying's eyes, and then looked at her sudden big belly. He felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart: "No matter what you do, you are my most beloved woman.
The life and death of others have nothing to do with me, all I care about... is you."
"It's good if you say this." Hua Ying nodded happily, he understood her.
Even if she understands that he cannot live just for her, Qi Xingchen has his inherent responsibility.
"Qi Yi is dead. Hua Ying, promise me not to leave the palace again this month until our child is born." Qi Xingchen said in a longing tone, he was really worried, "I will stay with you every step of the way."
"Well, okay." Hua Ying held Qi Xingchen's hand, "I promise you everything."
The next day, the news spread that Qi Yi committed suicide in the cold palace.
Qi Xuan, the king of Qi State, thought that Qi Shuihan had forced Qi Yi to death, and he was so angry that he was itching his teeth. However, Qi Shuihan was so powerful, and Qi Xuan was a mute eating coptis, so he did not dare to say anything about his suffering.
Hua Ying used a borrowed knife to kill people, and Qi Xingchen finally understood her painstaking efforts. Having one more enemy for Qi Shuihan would give Qi Xingchen more strength.
If Qi Yi was still Concubine Qi, her death would of course cause a huge stir. But before her death, she was just an abandoned concubine with no name or status and was thrown into the cold palace. Qi Shuihan brushed off her death without paying much attention to it.
It is said that a couple's favor lasts for a hundred days. With Qi Yi by Qi Shuihan's side, everyone in the palace felt that His Majesty loved Concubine Qi very much.
After Qi Yi's death, Qi Shuihan didn't show much pain on his face, but the next day he went to Queen Zhou's tomb and stood for half a stick of incense.
Perhaps the only woman Qi Shuihan regarded as his wife was Zhou Fuxi from beginning to end, and his favor towards other women was nothing more than treating her as the shadow of Empress Zhou.
In the following days, Hua Ying felt ordinary and happy. Qi Xingchen stayed by Hua Ying's side. Hua Ying's belly was getting bigger day by day. She was about to give birth. Hua Ying's legs were bloated and it was difficult to walk. Qi Xingchen set a fixed time every day.
They all helped her out for a walk.
Qi Xingchen has chosen a name for the unborn child: "If it's a boy, let's name it Qi Xu. If it's a girl, let's name it Qi Nuo. Do you think it's okay with Hua Ying?"
"Okay, these are of course your decisions as a father." Hua Ying held her belly and suddenly felt the baby kick her, so she said to Qi Xingchen, "The child seems not to like your name and is resisting."
"How can I not like it? He reacts because he likes it too much." Qi Xingchen grinned. His smile was so beautiful.
Ever since ten of the twelve guards of Xingchen were killed, Hua Ying had not seen Qi Xingchen smile so sincerely and happily for a long time.
"Hua Ying, you've been wandering outside for a while. I'll help you go inside and have a rest."
"Um."
The two were inseparable, leaning on each other as they walked into the room.
At this moment, Mu Chun was squatting in the garden, holding a pair of big scissors to cut flowers and arrow branches. Yan Xi ran over panting: "The surnamed Mu has been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out that you are doing nothing here."
"You shouldn't be looking for the green guard, why should you look for me?" Mu Chun smiled playfully and glanced at Yan Xi.
"Stop talking so much! There are so many affairs in the Huajian Sect, how can I handle it all by myself? You can't just make money and not work, leave quickly!" Yan Xi came up and pulled Mu Chun.
