Spring Winds Cannot Carry Old Debts Across

Xiao Yan was the emperor, yet he was always losing his composure in front of me.

One moment, he would accidentally tug at the hem of my clothes; the next, he'd somehow trip and fall.

After learning that Lu Yanqing and I had divorced, he didn't even bother pretending anymore. He seized me and brought me into the palace that very night.

"Qingqing, please give me one chance. Let me cherish you."

The Empress Dowager loathed me for it, wishing she could kill me on the spot.

At the critical moment, Xiao Yan kicked the door open and shielded me behind him.

"Empress Dowager, I was the shameless one who took another man's wife by force. I was the one who clung to her, begged her, and forced her to stay by my side."

"If she dies, I won't go on living either!"

He swept me into his arms and strode away.

Behind us, a teacup shattered. The Empress Dowager shrieked,

"How dare you! For her, would you even give up having an heir?"

"Don't think I don't know. She doesn't want children, so you asked Imperial Physician Hu for contraceptive soup. You drank it three times in a single night. Do you know it can cause lasting damage?"

I froze. But I was already more than three months pregnant.
