Emperor Hao still shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, I don’t need to do anything to it.”

Xue Yan had no choice but to accept what he said, so he didn’t try to persuade him anymore.

After a while, seeing that it was really late at night, and that it was time to leave some time for his parents to speak alone, Xue Yan spoke again. “It’s getting late, Jiang Yue and I are going back to sleep.” After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was sitting cross-legged, still very calm.

Hearing this, Emperor Hao smiled. “You should go. You still have to practice martial arts tomorrow morning.”

Shao Youyue didn’t know how she felt now knowing Emperor Hao was going to be here for a while. Now that her son and Jiang Yue were leaving again, she wanted them to not leave. However, she knew that her son had to wake up to practice martial arts before dawn. If she stopped him from leaving, he might miss his classes. Therefore, she didn’t stop him from leaving.

She also wanted her son to take Emperor Hao away. She didn’t want to stay in the same room as Emperor Hao.

However, she didn’t want her son to worry about her and her husband’s matters. In addition, she felt that her son was still a child and might not understand adult problems. Therefore, she didn’t say anything and only looked outside. She smiled and said, “It’s dark outside. Watch your feet.” “Yes.” Bang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.

Then, they walked out of the small room and waved goodbye. They went back to the front, washed up, and went to sleep.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both went to bed, but at the back, the small room in the middle was lit. Emperor Hao had sent Zi Cui and the others out, so at this moment, there was only him and Shao Youyue in this small room.

“Why is your leg a little swollen?” Emperor Hao helped the Empress to lie down slowly as he asked worriedly, “Aren’t Doctor Shen’s medical skills exceptional? Let’s invite him over to give you another check up.”

“It’s normal for pregnant people to have swollen ankles.” Shao Youyue said lightly. Then, she lay inside with her back facing Emperor Hao.

“Your legs weren’t swollen when you were pregnant with Xue-” Emperor Hao hadn’t finished speaking when he saw her Empress lying with her back facing him. He was immediately startled and then sighed. Then, a hand gently patted the Empress’s shoulder as he spoke, “Rest well…”

Shao Youyue didn’t respond, but she didn’t close her eyes to sleep either. She just opened her eyes and stared blankly at the bed wall in front of her.

When she felt Emperor Hao lying on the empty seat beside her, her body tensed up.

Emperor Hao didn’t notice her reaction. He was just beaten by Xue Dafu a few times and his back was in pain. Once he lay down beside the Empress, he pressed down on the wound on his back and hissed in pain.

Then, as he hissed, he struggled to move to his side.

Shao Youyue felt a little annoyed when she heard him complaining. She could not fall asleep, but she still did not turn around or say anything.

On the other hand, Emperor Hao had finally succeeded in sleeping on his side. However, he could not fall asleep. He could not help but ask softly, “Are you asleep?”

After waiting for a long time, he was disappointed that he did not get a reaction. He sighed softly again. In an even softer voice, as if he was afraid of waking her up, he almost muttered to himself, “Can you wait a little longer? Wait for me a little longer. Soon, very soon… It really won’t take long. I’ll do what I promised you long ago.”

Shao Youyue heard it, but she didn’t know what Emperor Hao meant.. Could it be that there would really be a day when he could do whatever he promised her?
