The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 478 Resolving the Heart Knot
Yan Ning was silent for a moment and said nothing.

When the Empress Dowager came, she already knew that Qi Hengyuan and Yan Ning had reconciled, and she also knew how Qi Hengyuan knew Yan Ning's whereabouts. She didn't care about the couple's affairs, she just stated her purpose.

She said: "You love His Majesty, and His Majesty loves you, and now you are pregnant with His Majesty's child, you must return to the palace."

Yan Ning pursed her lips but still said nothing.

The Queen Dowager sighed, "Your Majesty knows what you are worried about. Your Majesty asked me to come here to comfort you. Yan Ning, the war is not your fault. It is not your fault whether anyone dies or not. Although you are the guardian god, you cannot determine the life and death of a person, let alone control the life and death of a person. War is ruthless, what does it have to do with you?"

"I know that in that national war, because of you, Qi was defeated miserably, and my husband also died in the battle."

"When I first learned that you were Konohanayome, I was shocked. I was not shocked that Qi was defeated because of you, but I was shocked that there is a guardian god in this world."

"It is a blessing for Qi that you can come to Qi. If I say that I don't mind at all, you will definitely not believe me. Thinking about your husband's death, it is related to you, so I still mind it to some extent, but that little bit of mind is completely insignificant compared to the contribution you have made to Qi."

"Yan Ning, I have already accepted you. Even if you are a wooden bride, I will not hate you. If you really feel guilty towards His Majesty, towards me, and towards the royal family, then be a good queen, turn your guilt into love, and protect Qi."

The moment Qi Hengyuan arrived, Yan Ning no longer felt conflicted.

The moment she said she loved him, she was willing to devote herself to Qi Hengyuan.

It's just that she just came out and enjoyed a moment of freedom, and doesn't want to go back for the time being.

However, Yan Ning still felt relieved to hear the Empress Dowager say that she did not hate her. At least everything she did was really remembered by them.

Yan Ning said: "Sister-in-law, I am very happy that you don't hate me, but I don't want to go back for the time being."

The Queen Mother asked anxiously, "Do you still mind? Do you mind that you are a wooden bride and killed many people of Qi?"

Yan Ning shook her head: "No, I just want to live a free and easy life. It has nothing to do with those things."

The Queen Mother couldn't understand: "What do you mean by free? Weren't you free when you were in the palace?"

Yan Ning smiled bitterly and said, "It's different."

Before getting married, the Imperial Concubine was Miss Chen. After getting married, she became the Crown Princess and then the Queen. She had always lived within the palace and she didn't feel any lack of freedom or discomfort. It was really difficult for her to understand what Yan Ning meant by "different".

She said, "Your Majesty has been worried that you have a knot in your heart and don't want to return to the palace, but it turns out that you don't want to return to the palace because of the so-called freedom, not because of the things between Muhuajia and Qiguo."

Yan Ning lowered his eyes and told her how he felt when he left the palace.

She did have some emotional issues when she left the palace.

She told the truth because she didn't want Qi Hengyuan to be deceived, and she also didn't want to bear the guilt forever.

When she left the palace, she was thinking that she would go back when she had figured things out.

If Qi Hengyuan still accepts her, she will accompany him well and stay with him for the rest of her life.

If he no longer accepted her, she would leave and never disturb him or make things difficult for him.

If she didn't want to go back, she would ask Qi Hengyuan to abolish her title of queen when she left.

Qi Hengyuan should have known what she was thinking, which was why he didn't rush to find her.

Of course, he didn't know where she was.

It’s just that Qi Heng is smart. Although the incident in Haizhou is not a big deal, Qiu Kai will definitely report it.

Qi Hengyuan knew her too well, and he must have analyzed clues from Qiu Kai's report, and then came to Haizhou to find her.

She didn't expect him to come suddenly, and she wouldn't use her magical powers to spy on others, so she ran into him. She was affectionate with him and confessed her love to him, which meant she had made up her mind to stay with him forever.

She had thought it through. The reason she didn't go back was, firstly, she wanted to enjoy her freedom, and secondly, she didn't know how to face the Empress Dowager, Yan Bin, and Ning.

Also, she had to find a reason for her leaving.

Yan Ning said, "It's not because I want to live a free life, but I really don't know how to face you, Yan Bin and Ning. In addition, I also feel that my sudden departure will inevitably arouse suspicion among the ministers."

"Your Majesty loves me and will not reveal my true identity to others, but I must give a reasonable reason for leaving. I thought that I could use the reason that I want to live a free life to respond to the ministers and the people."

"Jiang was destroyed, and Qi unified the two countries. I wanted to leave the palace and enjoy a free life, but His Majesty did not allow it, so I had an argument with His Majesty, and then I left the palace in a rage."

"If I tell this reason to others, I don't think anyone will doubt me."

The Empress Dowager's forehead twitched. She wanted to say, if you don't leave the palace, there is no so-called reason.

However, thinking of Yan Ning's true identity and her mood at the time, she did not blame her.

The Queen Mother said, "When do you plan to return to the palace? You are a widow now, and you dare not let anyone know that you are pregnant. Now that your belly is not obvious, you can still hide it. But when your belly gets bigger, you won't be able to hide it anymore."

"Also, before I came, His Majesty also sent a message to Yan Bin and Ning. They should also come to Haizhou. When the time comes, they will also persuade you to return to the palace."

As soon as they said that, Yan Bin and Ning arrived.

They were only one day late than the Empress Dowager and entered the Lin residence the next day.

When Yan Bin and Ning saw Yan Ning, they didn't know what to say for a moment. Yan Ning felt uncomfortable and vomited. Ning got up in panic and walked forward to ask with concern: "Yan Ning, what's wrong with you?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Madam Yan, don't worry. The Queen is suffering from severe morning sickness. She is fine."

When Ning heard this, she was shocked at first, then happy. She smiled and said, "You are pregnant? Is it your Majesty?"

The Empress Dowager coughed and glared at Ning: "What are you talking about as a mother? If it's not His Majesty's, then who else could it be? Of course it's His Majesty's. His Majesty came here last month and stayed here for several days."

Mother Li: “…”

This is clearly my line.

Mother Li said nothing, but went to fetch a bowl of medicine for Yan Ning to drink.

Ning immediately asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Yan Ning said: "Those that treat morning sickness won't harm the baby."

Ning breathed a sigh of relief, took Yan Ning's hand and looked at her for a long time.

Seeing this, the Queen Dowager walked away silently.

She went to the study to write a letter and sent it to Qi Hengyuan.

Ning said to Yan Ning: "Your father and I know everything."

I knew something, but I didn’t say it. But everyone understood it.

Yesterday, the Empress Dowager said that Yan Bin and Ning were coming, and Yan Ning knew that they knew the truth.

Yan Ning said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, but I really don't know how to start."
