"Originally, I thought I didn’t need to care, but..." Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi, "I find myself feeling guilty."
Do you even have a conscience?!
If you have a conscience, just stop thinking about killing me.
"So what do you want?" Ye Qichi asked.
Ancient men really do have a peculiar temperament.
Enjoying what’s in the bowl while eyeing what’s in the pot.
And they still think it’s perfectly justified.
"You said that as long as I remember your kindness, that’s enough," Xiao Jinxing stated.
"So just keep it in your heart." No need to say it out loud.
Her heart is weak, easily frightened.
"If I am fortunate enough to seize the empire," Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi, exposing his ambition unreservedly for the first time, "you will have a place in the imperial harem."
Ye Qichi was speechless.
She doesn’t care for whatever harem.
"After all, the harem can’t possibly consist of just the Empress." Meaning, it won’t just be Bai Mowan.
But in the original text.
Xiao Jinxing’s harem, apart from Bai Mowan, is essentially nominal.
But she held her tongue at the moment, saying nothing.
The Prince’s ego is so strong, if she said more, he might not be able to accept it.
"If I remain as Prince," Xiao Jinxing’s throat worked, "then it will be only Bai Mowan."
The promise Xiao Jinxing gave her was.
As long as he becomes the Emperor, she won’t have to leave him.
But if he doesn’t become the Emperor, then his life afterward will have only one woman, Bai Mowan.
Ye Qichi suddenly felt melancholic.
So should she help Xiao Jinxing ascend to the position or not!
At the moment, seeing how earnest Xiao Jinxing was.
Ye Qichi ultimately chose to remain silent.
Xiao Jinxing hadn’t expected to receive an answer from Ye Qichi anyway.
He knew Ye Qichi was suffering, so he didn’t want to pressure him.
But this was the decision he made after deep contemplation.
It was also a promise to both Bai Mowan and Ye Qichi.
It will never change again.
"The baby, you can take back," Xiao Jinxing changed the topic, "but it can’t be raised by us."
She was just listening to what Xiao Jinxing had said earlier and was planning to devise a solution in the future. There was no rush at that very moment, but now the matter of the baby unnerved her, "Why?"
"I don’t like babies."
"I can raise it myself," Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
"The situation is unstable now, it’s not safe to ."
"You can send it to Minister Mansion, let your father and mother raise it."
Ye Qichi glared at Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t care about Ye Qichi’s mood, "We depart tomorrow, get some rest early."
Saying that, he stood up intending to leave.
He walked a few steps, then stopped.
Ye Qichi just watched him irritably.
The tyranny and dominance of ancient men really are excessive!
Xiao Jinxing turned around, suddenly took the cup of tea that Ye Qichi had poured for him, which he hadn’t touched, and drank it down.
After drinking the tea, Xiao Jinxing didn’t say anything, put down the cup, and left.
Ye Qichi was utterly speechless.
Early in the morning.
Ye Qichi had the Maid feed the baby some rice porridge soup, then carried the baby out of the room.
She hadn’t seen the baby for many days actually.
After she woke up and saw her, the baby was just curious for a while, then smiled sweetly at her.
Ye Qichi always felt, she was meant to be with this little baby.
She never intended to have children of her own in this life.
Having such a child was very good.
Thinking now that Xiao Jinxing doesn’t allow her to raise him herself, when she leaves, she will take the baby with her and wander the world, the thought alone feels very comfortable!
Gu Xingchuan was waiting for her.
Seeing her holding the baby, he quickly stretched out his hands, "Let me help you."
"Do you know how to hold him?" Gu Xingchuan asked.
"Never mind," Ye Qichi smiled, "Let’s set off first, so Xiao Jinxing won’t wait too long and get upset."
The baby getting up and eating the soup had already caused some delay.
Actually, one could still feel that Ye Qichi cared about Xiao Jinxing’s feelings.
The two of them walked towards the mansion gate.
Everything was already well prepared.
Bai Mowan too had already donned her armor, looking very majestic.
She would lead 300 elite soldiers back to the border, leaving behind those 100 plus elite soldiers to escort Xiao Jinxing back to court.
At the moment, Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan were evidently saying their farewells."
Ye Qichi didn’t disturb them.
Carrying the baby, she sat down in the carriage nearby.
Gu Xingchuan sat in the carriage behind.
Xiao Wu and Yuan Wenkang were already riding horses.
Xiao Jinxing got in."
He glanced at the baby in Ye Qichi’s arms, ultimately saying nothing.
A magnificent procession departed."
Pang Nan escorted them to the city gate."
Just reaching the city gate."
Suddenly seeing the city gate flanked with citizens."
Seeing their arrival."
The citizens on both sides, all knelt down."
Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing naturally noticed."
They opened the curtains."
At that moment, suddenly heard a citizen loudly shout, "Thanks to Prince Chen and Princess Chen for saving our lives, may Prince Chen and Princess Chen have boundless fortune!"
After one person finished, the others also unanimously said the same."
Voices resounded through the heavens!
Countless citizens knelt on the ground, expressing their gratitude."
Ye Qichi smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth."
Being revered , doesn’t seem like a bad thing after all!
