I insist

Chapter 534: Returning to the Capital

When Song Miqiu saw that Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei had both left, her feelings were very complicated.

Seeing her like this, Yu Huailin went straight to her and held her, gently comforting her, "Qiu Tianlei will understand eventually. You need to give him some time."

Don't rush things. Your issues are mostly resolved now. It's time to talk about mine; you haven't asked about it since we met."

Song Miqiu looked up at him from his embrace and smiled slightly: "You're already standing here perfectly fine, so of course you're alright."

"And I'm sure you handled your situation very well, which is why you had the opportunity to come here to see me."

"Should I tell you, thank you for believing in me? You're not worried about me at all. Don't you miss me?" Yu Huailin was a little unhappy.

Song Miqiu's lips curled up slightly: "I believe in your abilities, so I'm not worried. If you didn't have confidence, you wouldn't have taken action, would you?"

Yu Huailin just looked at Song Miqiu, wanting to hear what she would say next.

"As for your question about whether I miss you, the answer is definitely yes, of course I do. Didn't you receive my letter?" Song Miqiu asked.

Yu Huailin leaned close to her ear, deliberately breathing into it, and said in a low voice, "Of course I received your letter, but I'd rather hear it from you in person."

“I miss you so much, I want to see you so much, I really want to be with you.” Song Miqiu said to him directly without any affectation.

Hearing her so frank words, Yu Huailin was finally happy. He hugged her tightly, his voice still trembling with excitement, and said, "I came here today..."

"It's to bring you back and make you my empress. I've already issued the decree. Once we return, your status will change; you will be my empress."

Upon hearing his words, Song Miqiu's smile froze instantly, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yu Huailin waited for Song Miqiu's excited voice, but after a while, she didn't react at all, which made him feel uneasy.

He released Song Miqiu, placed his hand on her shoulder, and asked very seriously, "Don't you want to go back to the capital? Don't you plan to be with me anymore?"

When Yu Huailin said these words, his voice was trembling and his eyes were filled with fear.

Song Miqiu had never met him before, so she reached out and took his hand from her shoulder, whispering, "No, I didn't intend to not be with you."

Yu Huailin, I ask you, can you guarantee that you will only have me in the future, and that you will not take concubines or establish consorts, if you really want consorts?

Or perhaps our feelings for each other have changed, and we can get a divorce so we don't entangle each other anymore, okay?

Yu Huailin was somewhat amused and exasperated by her words: "You really have so little confidence in yourself? But you need to have confidence in me!"

I won't have anyone else, only you, and only you are the one I want. I want you to be with me until the end of time. What about you?

Seeing his earnest eyes, Song Miqiu disregarded everything else and hugged his waist, staying in his arms.

Yu Huailin hugged her too. He knew what she was worried about. If he were just an ordinary person, she wouldn't have asked such a question, but now his status was different.

Even if the emperor himself is confident that he won't take a concubine, there are still civil and military officials. They will definitely use the excuse of having more children to force him to take a concubine.

He had made up his mind. He only wanted Song Miqiu for the rest of his life. He didn't want anyone else.

After the surroundings quieted down, Song Miqiu spoke softly, "Could we postpone our return by one day? Qiu Tianlei and his wife haven't quite recovered from the shock of my identity yet."

I want to take them to the capital. Damn it, no matter what, it's my fault. Naturally, I'll take responsibility for them to the very end, for the rest of my life.

“Okay, then we’ll stay a little longer, which will give them time to think things through. Come on, I’ll take you back to where you live,” Yu Huailin said, taking her hand.

Song Miqiu nodded at him.

The two walked out of the restaurant hand in hand. The city lord was still guarding outside with his men. When they saw the two of them come out, they quickly came out to greet them.

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress," the city lord said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned slightly: "City Lord, you don't need to address me like that. I am not yet an empress. Thank you for your help today."

"Madam, you're too kind. It's what I should do. Do you two have anything to do? Should we send someone to accompany you?" the city lord asked, bowing slightly.

Yu Huailin shook his head: "No need, the two of us are just returning to our residence. City Lord, you should also go back. Thank you for your help today. Regarding this matter..."

I hope you can handle this well. I don't want to hear anything bad about her, please.

"Your Majesty is too kind. Please rest assured, I will handle this matter well and will not allow the lady's reputation to be damaged in the slightest."

The city lord made a very serious promise to Yu Huailin.

After speaking with the city lord, the two left side by side.

The city lord watched their retreating figures and breathed a sigh of relief. He then left with his own men, leaving only the troops brought by Yu Huailin behind.

Soon, they arrived at the mansion.

Yu Huailin looked up and noticed that the mansion was rather small. He looked at Song Miqiu and asked, "Why did you buy such a small courtyard after arriving here?"

It looks small, but it'll be enough for you.

"If you hadn't suddenly left, I wouldn't have needed to buy a yard. Although it looks small, it's still sufficient."

It's not bad, and this courtyard is quite nice for this area.

As Song Miqiu spoke, she walked inside.

The wet nurse and child were still in the mansion. They were very happy to see Yu Huailin return, but they did not recognize Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu looked at the two children standing there, and for a moment she didn't know what to say or how to explain.

Yu Huailin grabbed her hand: "Alright, leave some things to others to handle. You don't need to worry about everything. Let's go to your yard."

As he spoke, he took her hand and continued walking forward, completely ignoring the two children and the wet nurse behind him.

"Who was that person Uncle Yu was pulling just now? I've never seen him before," Qiu Xiaoshuang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Qiu Xiaobai reached out and smacked Qiu Xiaoshuang on the head, frowning as she said, "Idiot, that's Grandma! Didn't you see she's wearing Grandma's clothes?"

“But Grandma doesn’t look like that. You’re the idiot,” Qiu Xiaoshuang said.
