"...Let you leave??!" Ming Zhan's original good mood was completely destroyed in an instant, he pinched Ling Li's chin and forced Ling Li to look at him, his voice seemed to be squeezed from between his teeth "I'm telling you Ling Li, I've already caught you in my hands, there's no reason to let go. Cast those thoughts away and honestly follow me back to Jincheng. When Ah-Xuan is cured and comes back from Rongcheng, we'll be a family of three. If you still dare to run around, then don't even think about seeing the child anymore!"

Hearing him threatening the child, Ling Li frowned, tears in his eyes, his chest heaved up and down and there was an inevitable sadness in her eyes. He didn't speak anymore.

Ming Zhan stared at him coldly for a moment, but after all, he was softened, squeezing his hand, pressing his lips and kissing him. He met his eyes and whispered: "You're afraid of going back to the Palace with me, it's because I didn't give you an identity, so you feel uneasy, isn't it?"

Ling Li's lips moved but there was no response, Ming Zhan chuckled, "Just know, do you think I took you back to play for a few days and then discarded you? Ah-Li, since many years ago, I have had you in my heart. If it weren't for my arrogance and the inability to lower my head, I would've already taken you back. Now you've also given birth to Ah-Xuan for me, and I'm no longer the same as before, how could I treat you badly. I brought you back, naturally to give you the position of the Royal Concubine and marry you righteously."

Ling Li was shocked greatly by this. "...Royal Concubine? Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Ling Li widened his eyes and looked a little dazed. Ming Zhan was amused by his somewhat silly expression, and his eyes flashed with shining brilliance. Playing with a strand of his black hair, Ming Zhan slightly raised his voice: "Do you think I'd bluff you with this?"

Ling Li vaguely knew that Ming Zhan had feelings for him, but he never thought that he would actually want to marry him, he felt like he was dreaming.

"But... but my identity..."

"This is easy to solve. When I return to Jincheng, I'll arrange one for you. So, you just need to have two more children for me, so that my life in the Palace can be easier in the future." Ming Zhan said, breathing harder. His body moved slightly and covered Ling Li's body again, Ling Li firmly grasped the sheets under him to bear it. His head was blank, and he couldn't think about anything...

Before dawn the next day, Ming Zhan was still sleeping with Ling Li in his arms, someone from Jincheng suddenly came to report an emergency. Ming Zhan didn't deliberately hide Ling Li, and directly heard the report from that person behind a screen.

Ling Li just sat up and was about to dress, when he heard that the man say that the Emperor was suddenly seriously ill, his the action of dressing couldn't help but pause.

Ling Li didn't know anything about the court, but he remembered that Ming Zhan said that his second brother was responsible for the bad state of the province, yet his father only dealt with some related people and didn't treat the second brother with too much criticism.

Ming Zhan's father was naturally the current Emperor. The Emperor had always been extremely eccentric towards the second Prince. Now he was suddenly seriously ill, most likely there was something wrong in the Palace.

After hearing the footsteps of the guards leaving, Ling Li walked around the screen and assisted Ming Zhan in dressing. Ming Zhan walked back and forth a few times with a solemn expression. He stopped to look at Ling Li standing quietly on the side, he pondered for a moment and walked towards him, putting his hands on his shoulders, looking into his eyes and whispering: "I'm afraid Jincheng won't be peaceful for the time being. Go to Rongcheng and stay with Ah-Xuan for a while, when the situation is stable, I will come to pick you up."
