The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

If Xie Ling were as bad as Xie Jingyu was before, she wouldn't be so reluctant to let go.

Even if you kick it away, you won't hesitate.

Qi Yitang herself felt unfamiliar with her current anxious and tearful state.

She envied her elder sister, who was able to let go easily and sever ties with a man even when betrayed, without batting an eye.

When it came to her own turn... Qi Yitang knew that if Xie Ling changed her mind in the future, she wouldn't be able to do it either.

After all, the good times we had were real, but true feelings are easily changed.

At worst, when all hope is lost, a packet of poison and the two of them will walk away together.

"So, in Tangtang's heart, I'm not bad enough?" Xie Ling, unaware that Qi Yitang's thoughts had wandered far away, said leisurely, "In that case, I'll be even worse tonight."

Qi Yitang's thoughts were pulled back, and unusually, she did not shy away in embarrassment and annoyance as usual, but only gave a soft "hmm".

Xie Ling was stunned.

Although I used to be shameless and get a lot of benefits, I could never avoid being called a "rogue" or "beast".

Why is life getting even better today?

He leaned closer, tentatively asking, "When your husband gets bad, even I'm afraid of him. Is Tangtang willing?"

Qi Yitang: "As long as the child isn't hurt... it's up to you."

Xie Ling's eyes suddenly darkened.

Since Qi Yitang became pregnant, he has hardly had a proper meal. For a starving wolf, these words are a deadly invitation.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Don't cry, Tangtang."

……

Actually, Qi Yitang isn't a crybaby. She vents her frustrations when she's unhappy, and she secretly uses underhanded tactics to get back at people she doesn't like.

The comments section says she has a white phosphorus personality, meaning she's easily ignited and explosive.

She only wanted Xie Ling to see her vulnerable, tearful side, and only he had ever seen it.

Separation anxiety dispelled all of Qi Yitang's shame and reserve, and Xie Ling was surprised to find that she was more honest tonight than ever before.

They might even proactively say things like "Give it a little more pressure" or "Hold me tighter"...

Like a proud cat, it rarely lays down its belly, so docile it makes your heart flutter.

Such moments are rare, and Xie Ling really wanted to recklessly and passionately entwine with her, to meld her into his very bones.

But she was still worried about the two little ones in her belly. If she overdid it and it affected the fetus, she might have a premature birth at this critical moment. Not only would it be bad for her health, but it would also be a disgrace for the rest of her life.

They still have some sense of shame.

"That's all for today." Xie Ling lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on her burning earlobe. "The rest, Tangtang can make it up to me slowly after the baby is born, okay?"

He had already instructed Imperial Physician Kou to research a male-specific infertility remedy while ensuring the pregnancy's safety.

Having two children on each side, we have fulfilled our obligations to the Xie family ancestors, so there is no need to have any more children.

"Mmm." Qi Yitang buried her face in his chest, pressing tightly against him, "...Hold me, hold me while you sleep."

Xie Ling agreed.

No matter how much you cherish it, time will not stand still at this moment forever.

The next day, as the sun gradually set, Qi Yitang's mood also sank.

Xie Ling originally planned to set off in the evening, have dinner with her, and leave after she fell asleep, but Qi Yitang was worried about the safety of traveling at night, so she asked him to set off before it got dark.

By Shen Shi (3-5 PM), everything had been arranged.

Xie Ling wore the new boots that Qi Yitang had made by hand, a black outfit, her long hair tied up high, and her wrist guards tightly fastened.

Even though he's about to become a father of two, he still retains some of the heroic spirit of a young general.

People came to see him off.

"Your Majesty, the northern frontier is far away, and the barbarians are treacherous. Please be careful," Xie Changqing said solemnly. "I will do as you command."

Xie Ling: "Mm."

The Empress Dowager also gave a few symbolic instructions, which Xie Ling responded to one by one.

But his gaze didn't linger on them for long; he walked up to Qi Yitang.

"Tangtang, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

The twilight cast a soft and serene glow on her face. Qi Yitang didn't cry; perhaps she had exhausted all her tears in the past two days, and now that her emotions had calmed down, she felt there was nothing to cry about.

Xie Ling is going to fight a war. He will return after he kills Qin Yuanchao and defeats the Xianjue and Tuxia tribes.

He'll be the first person the child sees.

"I will." Qi Yitang reached out and straightened his collar. "The child and I are waiting for you to come back safely."

The emperor lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, then turned and rode away down the long street from the palace gate.

On the city wall, watching the sound of horses' hooves fade into the distance, the dark figure grew smaller and smaller in the last rays of twilight on the horizon until it was no longer visible.

Qi Yitang just stared, remaining motionless for a long time.

Xie Changqing still couldn't bear to see her in this half-dead state, and neither could her imperial brother, who was good in every way.

He's just too sentimental and too much of a love-struck fool!

"Your Majesty need not worry. Your Majesty has been training on the battlefield since he was a teenager. Two years ago, he defeated the Xianjue in a rout. This time, he will surely be invincible! Your Majesty, just take good care of yourself."

After Xie Ling left, Qi Yitang didn't even have the strength to speak.

Ignoring Xie Changqing, she turned and returned to the palace with Yun Ying's help.

Xie Changqing: "..." No, when you're trying to comfort her, can't you at least give her a human response?

……

On the first day after Xie Ling left, Qi Yitang ate and slept as usual, and had the imperial physician take her pulse.

To outsiders, everything appears normal and perfectly normal.

Xie Changqing felt that her brother was worrying too much. After all, she was an adult and about to become a mother. Surely she wouldn't be unable to take care of herself without her husband?

Only Qi Yitang herself knew that she felt utterly empty inside.

It's like a room that's been emptied of its furniture; the wind blows in from all directions, and it can never be filled.

Sometimes she would wake up inexplicably at night, and there was no one beside her to hold and comfort her. Qi Yitang would hug her pillow and silently shed many tears.

Nothing was interesting anymore; she was even too lazy to leave the palace.

The viewers in the live chat weren't used to it, since someone was the "Princess of the Palm" at the beginning, and would slap anyone she didn't like.

Now it's like a cat without claws, all soft and limp.

[The female supporting character should at least go out for a walk; she's cooped up all day, the kids are going to rot.]

Poor Tangbao, I hope Brother Wa comes back soon.

"Eat your food properly. Do you expect me to feed you?"

Princess Anping had been informed by Xie Ling in advance that she would come to the palace every few days to keep Qi Yitang company, so that she wouldn't be bored or annoyed by herself.

But after arriving, I realized—it would have been better not to come at all.

She has two young children to take care of, as well as assisting with government affairs, and now she also has to appease the older one in front of her.

If she had even the slightest disloyalty, she could have simply kidnapped this foolish empress and usurped the throne to become emperor.

Sure enough, he became listless after leaving, and didn't even eat properly. He poked at the rice in his bowl for a long time but only ate ten grains.

I wonder who I owed something to in my past life.

She sighed resignedly, "Come on, open your mouth."
