Feng Ruqing raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the empress was not as stupid as she thought.
“Lady Nan, Yu’er is my life. I risked my life to give birth to him. It was my fault… I was too careless back then when I was pregnant and was poisoned, causing his veins to clog up, preventing him from cultivating, so I still feel guilty about it.”
If she had been careful enough back then, she would not have dragged her son down. Her carelessness had brought out such consequences. How could she not feel sorry for Yu’er?
“I lost my mind, and I was so angry when Lianyi told me that something had happened to Yu’er. He’s my life! Whoever touched my life, I would fight her to the death. The emperor and I were so emotional at that time, allowing Lianyi to take advantage of us that we have almost harmed Lady Nan.”
The empress was so mad back then because she was overwhelmed by anger. But only after she had calmed down that her mind could finally think clearly.
Fortunately, she was not the type of person who was hard on admitting her mistakes, and since this matter was indeed their fault, she had to admit it!
“I can understand…” Feng Ruqing took a sip of tea. “If I were in danger, my parents and the others would go mad too. Besides, that little fatty is still young, so if you teach him well, there is still a chance that you can correct his behavior.”
The empress’s eyes showed signs of worry at the mention of this.
“Lady Nan, I came to find you just for this matter.”
Feng Ruqing looked at the empress suspiciously. “Me?”
“That’s right, Yu’er is spoiled by me and doesn’t listen to me at all. I think he’s very obedient to Lady Nan. I wonder if Lady Nan… Can you discipline him appropriately for me?”
Feng Ruqing was silent for a moment. “I’m sorry I can’t do that. I’m afraid that I’ll be too fierce, and it will affect the child in my belly.”
The empress was somewhat confused and did not understand what Feng Ruqing was saying. She was silent for a few moments and asked, “Maiden Feng, what do you mean by that?”
“Well, I’m so gentle now, and my daughter will definitely like me as her mother. But if I’m too fierce, what if she gets scared and runs away, and I give birth to a son?”

For the sake of her daughter, she would not even bother with this nonsense.
The empress was somewhat stunned. It was the first time that she had heard this kind of talk. She looked at Feng Ruqing, confused.
“So, you’re in charge of your own child, don’t come to me…” Feng Ruqing yawned languidly. “I’m sleepy.”
Nan Xian looked at the empress coldly and gave her a warning glance.
When the empress saw that Feng Ruqing was indeed a bit tired, she did not plan on staying longer, so she stood up helplessly.
“I’ll leave then, but I’ll come back to you later.”
She had already stood up after saying this and walked out of the inn.
Feng Ruqing yawned again, and her body slowly rested on Nan Xian’s chest.
Nan Xian raised his hand and gently pulled the young girl into his arms. “Let’s rest first if you’re tired.”
“Alright…”
Feng Ruqing smiled.
Hearing Feng Ruqing’s words, Nan Xian carried her and laid her down on bed carefully before covering her with a quilt.
His movements were very gentle, afraid that he would accidentally injure the child in her womb…
Moonlight poured through the window and landed on the man’s face.
His handsome face looked so gentle, no longer as cold as usual.

Early morning.
