She was happy, but she really did not know how to face him.

Gu Jin was indeed his alias. It was the alias she had given him when she first accompanied him on an errand. Before that incident, she had always used this alias every time she accompanied him out of town to do something that could not reveal her identity. They pretended to be a newlywed couple, and she was his wife…

It was also after that incident that they never pretended to be a married couple again. Even though she had always accompanied him to do things that could not expose her identity, she had only been his subordinate… Even if the two of them were dressed in red like a couple, she would still call her his subordinate…

Hearing footsteps, Qi Yin became even more nervous. Then, she quickly went to bed and pretended to be asleep.

Although it wasn’t nighttime, she could still take an afternoon nap.

Shao Zhongxi walked in and sat down at the table without looking at the bed. He poured himself some tea. Then, he put down the teacup and said, “You thought about everything but never told me everything.”

She did not even think of telling him in the end.

If she wasn’t pregnant again, he wouldn’t have been able to take it anymore…

Qi Yin’s eyes were closed, but tears instantly streamed down her face.

Shao Zhongxi didn’t say anything else. He poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Qi Yin, on the other hand, slowly opened her eyes. She tilted her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes before she got up and walked over.

She stood beside him for a long time before she mustered up her courage and said, “I don’t regret it. If that happens again, I’ll do it again.”

He was the priority.

She only wanted him to be well.

She would never make things difficult for him.

Shao Zhongxi paused in his action of sipping his tea. Then, he put down his teacup and stood up. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, she suddenly hugged him and buried her face in his arms. She cried and laughed. “I’m pregnant again. You’re going to be a father.”

Shao Zhongxi stayed still for a long time, but in the end, he hugged her back.

Forget it.

None of that mattered anymore.

He was also wrong. He could have said something at the start too.

Otherwise, they would have gotten back together long ago.

The next day, Jiang Yue saw with her own eyes that Xue Yan was wearing imperial robes. He was led by Emperor Hao step by step up the stairs, step by step into the main hall and step by step toward the dragon throne. Then, Emperor Hao abdicated and became a retired Emperor, and Xue Yan became the new Emperor of Da Ling.

Empress Dowager Yunzi had already found a temple a few months ago and wholeheartedly worshiped Buddha; only Emperor Hao knew about the temple. Empress Dowager Yunzi did not tell anyone else, but she had already left behind a decree that she would no longer care about political and military affairs and support Emperor Hao’s abdication.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground below shouting their support, Xue Yan who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, imposing without anger, still could not help but feel extremely emotional in his heart.

After conferring his father Xue Dafu the title of Duke, Xue Yan went to the high platform to worship the Heavens.

After worshiping the Heavens, it was time for the grand banquet.

Xue Yan was now the Emperor. He sat alone at a high place and allowed only one person at a time to greet him. No matter how exquisite the decorations were, no matter how heavy, imposing, and incomparably dignified it was, it still couldn’t conceal the loneliness that every Emperor had, that lonely mentality of being lonely at the top.

That was a mentality that he did not have even when he was the regent in his previous life and had power over the world.

Only when one became an Emperor and sat on this high ground, looking down, would one truly understand this feeling.
