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

Outside the carriage.

Xie Changqing was still processing the news that her elder brother had "died and come back to life." She knew that when she returned to the palace and told her mother, she would be very happy.

Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my back.

What's going on? Is it going to be windy and rainy?

Inside the car, Xie Ling withdrew her gaze and said, "It was my fault. It won't happen again."

Qi Yitang was still angry when she thought about it. She pinched him lightly and snorted, "If there's a next time, I'll really remarry with the child. I won't help you with the paperwork."

"Don't you think so?" She patted her belly lightly.

When Qi Yitang has nothing to do, she often talks to her belly in a rambling way. The baby is already used to talking to its mother, and at this moment it kicked in agreement.

When Xie Ling left, her child was about seven months old; now the child is nine months old.

He secretly returned to check on her a few times at night, but each time he was afraid of waking her, so he only dared to touch her lightly before leaving silently.

Only when you truly hold someone in your arms can you truly feel the weight that is so much heavier than when they left, and the hardship of nurturing them alone.

"It's all my fault. Tangtang has had a hard time these past few days."

Xie Ling: "Now that I'm back, I'll be your servant when we get back to the palace. I'll serve you tea and water, bathe you and massage your feet. I'll do whatever you say."

Hmph! Always trying to benefit himself.

Qi Yitang hummed inwardly, but hugged Xie Ling tightly with satisfaction. Tonight, she would finally not have to sleep alone anymore.

"I miss you so much……"

Xie Ling: "So it is for me too."

Fortunately, he kept his promise and returned before his wife gave birth, so he could still help with the delivery and it wasn't considered breaking his promise.

Xie Ling lowered her head, wanting to kiss Yi Tang to ease the agonizing longing of the past two months, but she blocked her way.

Why are you still wearing a mask?

The mask was silver, and when I kissed her face at close range, it felt cold and uncomfortable.

"I'll pick it off for you."

Xie Ling slightly turned her head to avoid her hand, "Tangtang, don't..."

Qi Yitang's hand froze in mid-air. Why won't you let me take it?

When she saw Xie Ling wearing a mask earlier, she didn't think much of it, just that it made her appearance cooler and more in line with the emperor's grandeur.

But now Qi Yitang belatedly realizes that Xie Ling has never liked these fancy things, so why would she suddenly put a mask on her face?

Suddenly, I remembered the day the news of Xie Ling's faked death came back. Li Fengyao said that he was injured, and his expression was a little unnatural at the time. He only said that it was a "minor injury".

If it's just a minor injury, why avoid her?

Fake death in front of outsiders is a scheme. You can communicate with her privately. Why do you have to come and go secretly at night and not even dare to see her?

This proves it was no small injury at all!

What happened to your face?

Qi Yitang reached out again, but Xie Ling stepped back, saying, "Tangtang, it's just a minor injury, it hasn't fully healed yet... I was afraid of scaring you."

Since they've said that, the injury must be quite serious.

Qi Yitang didn't speak, only pursed her lips, her eyes red-rimmed, "You said you wouldn't make me unhappy."

[Whoever makes Tang Bao shed a single tear, I'll slaughter an entire city!]

[Please don't disfigure the villain, I can't accept an ugly man.]

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Xie Ling instantly surrendered.

"It was my fault, I was such a bastard..."

He held Qi Yitang's hand. "Tangtang, the mask can be taken off, but let's make this clear beforehand—we're already having a child, so even if your husband becomes ugly, you can't abandon me."

Qi Yitang remained silent.

Xie Ling could only take a deep breath and remove the mask.

To be honest, it's much better than Qi Yitang imagined.

She had expected a bloody, gruesome wound, but instead it was just a slit running diagonally across her brow bone. It wasn't completely healed, but it had already scabbed over, with a faint pink tinge at the edges.

Although his features were slightly flawed, it did not detract from his handsome appearance at all; on the contrary, it added a touch of masculine vigor and sharpness.

However, that location is dangerous; a little lower and you'll be near your eyes, and an inch to the side and you'll be near your temple.

"How did you get hurt?"

Xie Ling said, "After annihilating the Xianjue, Qin Yuanchao fled wounded. At that time, my husband was in a hurry to finish his remaining affairs and return to the capital. He did not expect that there were still secret guards hiding by his side. In a moment of oversight, he..."

Qi Yitang gently touched the scar. "Does it hurt?"

Xie Ling shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

A man having a few scars is nothing; he's only worried about being disliked.

These days, besides secretly undermining Qin Yuanchao's power, he's been searching the whole city for a good way to remove scars, repeatedly asking doctors if they have any medicine that won't leave a trace.

Unfortunately, even the most miraculous medicine cannot completely remove scars in such a short time.

Qi Yitang neither said "not ugly" nor "good-looking," but simply looked at him quietly, making Xie Ling feel somewhat uneasy.

"Tangtang, do I look less handsome than before?"

Qi Yitang asked, "Do you think I would find that distasteful?"

Xie Ling didn't respond, but her meaning was already quite clear.

Qi Yitang was so angry that she wanted to pinch his flesh again. This man was so unreasonable. Because of a small, inexplicable scar, he had made her sleep alone for so long.

"We're husband and wife. In your eyes, am I such a shallow person?"

Xie Ling didn't want to speculate maliciously, mainly because Qi Yitang had a "previous record".

She was beautiful from a young age and liked to play with good-looking people.

The fourth princess was beautiful, so she was willing to be her study companion.

In fact, the eldest prince also liked Tangtang very much. Although the eldest prince was not talented, he was kind-hearted and had excellent cooking skills. All the princes and princesses respected this elder brother and often secretly went to eat with him.

Because of his plain looks, Qi Yitang didn't pay much attention to him.

She only hangs out with Xie Jingyu because his appearance is passable.

Xie Ling remembered that it was during that autumn hunt that year, because he didn't rescue Xie Jingyu in time, Xie Jingyu was bitten by a wolf, leaving a scar on his neck near the side of his face.

His spy planted next to Xie Jingyu replied that Tangtang delivered medicine to Xie Jingyu and asked him several times why the scars hadn't healed yet.

Xie Jingyu countered, "If the scars don't disappear and you become ugly, does that mean you won't like me anymore?"

Tangtang hesitated.

She hesitated!

With such a precedent to follow, how could Xie Ling not be afraid?

Qi Yitang is really begging you, Xie Jingyu has been dead for so long, why is he still holding a grudge?

That original male lead is a load of rubbish! Can't he just stay away from their lives?!

"Xie Jingyu is Xie Jingyu, and you are you. You are not comparable to him."

Qi Yitang leaned in and placed a light kiss on the scar on his brow bone. "Yanzhi, I used to think that I liked Xie Jingyu, but that's not true. I have no possessiveness towards him, no lust, and no feeling that I can't live without him."

"I may have just mistaken my dependence on a male older brother for love."

Qi Yitang has many older brothers, but later, due to the arrival of the female lead, she had a falling out with her family and broke off contact with her third brother.

Xie Jingyu is about the same age as his third brother, so he can fill his vacancy.

"From beginning to end, I have only loved you. Because I love you, it doesn't matter if I'm a little ugly. Besides, in my eyes, my husband is never ugly."

The female supporting character's words gave the villain an instant orgasm.

It is a place of winding paths, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Xie Ling felt his heart surging, as if he had been given an aphrodisiac, and he immediately became erect, just like when he first slept with her.

He couldn't resist any longer and lowered his head to kiss her.

After months of not being intimate, Qi Yitang missed him dearly. Just as she was about to return his kiss, she suddenly froze.

She hissed softly.

"What's wrong?" Xie Ling quickly let go, thinking that he had hurt her because he was too hasty.

Qi Yitang stiffly lowered her head, looking at the damp hem of her skirt, "Yanzhi, I think I'm going into labor..."
