"Annul the marriage?" Song Jiaye frowned tightly. "You mean, get a divorce?"
"Call it whatever you like. I don't want to be your wife anymore."
This was the vow she made before jumping off the building. Now that God had blessed her and she survived the great disaster, she must cherish this opportunity and live for herself.
Unexpectedly, Song Jiaye actually refused flatly, going against his usual behavior.
"I won't get a divorce."
"Song Jiaye, if we stay together, we'll only torture each other. Why bother?"
"You just lost... I can't divorce you at this time."
Although he didn't say the two words, Li Qiyu had already guessed what it was. It was because of the child.
Li Qiyu smiled bitterly. When Song Jiaye broke the vow of "one life, one couple" and married Concubine Yu into the palace, did he ever consider that she was pregnant? When Song Jiaye issued an imperial edict to raid the entire Li family, did he ever consider that she was pregnant? When Song Jiaye threw her into the cold palace, did he ever consider that she had just lost the child?
Now that the child was gone, he was pretending to be a good person here.
She didn't need it!
Li Qiyu made up her mind. Since Song Jiaye refused to annul the marriage, it was simple. She would write the letter of divorce.
She was going to be the first empress in the history of the Mu Dynasty to divorce the emperor!
As Li Qiyu was calculating in her mind, Song Jiaye said at this moment, "You should have a good rest. I'll come home to accompany you during this period. Don't do anything stupid again."
In the past, it was always Li Xiyu who begged Song Jiaye to come back. If Song Jiaye didn't come back, she would call one after another. After Song Jiaye blocked her number, she couldn't get through, so she would call on WeChat and send messages, annoying Song Jiaye so much that he had no choice but to come back.
So, this time when Song Jiaye voluntarily said that he would go back to accompany her, he thought this woman in front of him would jump up for joy.
But unexpectedly, she just let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain.
"Don't bother. I don't need it."
"Li Xiyu, don't be ungrateful."
Look at this man. He couldn't even pronounce her name correctly. There was nothing left to miss.
It wasn't Li Xiyu. Her name was Li Qiyu.
"Go and accompany your favorite concubine. I won't serve you anymore!"
Father had said that the daughters of the Li family should have backbone.
After dying once, Father was back, and she had also retrieved the backbone of the Li family.
She didn't want a man who had been defiled by other women!
Let Song Jiaye defend the Mu Dynasty's territory by himself!
She wanted to see how Song Jiaye could keep his throne as emperor in the Mu Dynasty surrounded by powerful enemies without the support of the Li family.
When Song Jiaye was driven out of the room by Li Qiyu, for the first time, there was a look of surprise on his face, which had always been cold and expressionless.
His wife seemed to be different from before?
Song Jiaye wasn't the only one who thought Li Xiyu was different from before.
The doctor carefully examined Li Xiyu's body. She had recovered well and there was no major problem. He said to the family members, "You can go through the discharge procedures."
Father Li was very worried. He chased after the doctor and asked, "There seems to be something wrong with my daughter's mind."
"What do you mean?"
"She often says that she's the empress. The other day when she looked in the mirror, she was so scared that she shouted that there was a monster. She said that a ghost had changed her face while she was sleeping. She also looks like she has never seen the world. She can study a dropper for a long time, and she likes to bite everything. The iron railing of the hospital bed is full of her tooth marks."
Hearing this, the doctor turned back and asked Li Qiyu, "Why did you bite the bed?"
"Dad said it was made of iron. I wanted to test if it was true!"
Li Qiyu couldn't understand. Iron was even more valuable than gold. It was a waste to make a bed out of it. If it was made into weapons, they would be invincible.
"You said your face was changed. Is it different from before or...?"
"Of course it's different! This woman looks like a vixen at first sight. How could I, the eldest daughter of the Li family, look like this!"
The former Li Qiyu was a proper and generous young lady from a noble family, looking exactly like one. She had delicate eyebrows, big eyes, and an oval face. Everyone who saw her would praise her as "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without carving."
Unlike now, with peach blossom eyes and a oval face, she looked like a femme fatale at first sight.
The doctor frowned even deeper and asked, "You're the empress?"
"Yes." But when it came to this, Li Qiyu felt sad again. "But Song Jiaye must have deposed the empress already."
The doctor shook his head and walked out of the ward. He said to Father Li who chased after him, "Take a brain CT. If it doesn't work, transfer her to the psychiatry department."
Father Li did as he was told. The doctor from the psychiatry department took the CT and came to the ward to examine Li Qiyu's body. He said to Father Li,
"Her cognitive and learning abilities are fine. We've also taken a brain CT for her, and everything is normal. It's probably just a mild concussion caused by hitting a rock when she fell into the water. Coupled with the setback in her marriage, she has some escapist fantasies and confuses TV dramas with reality. It's okay. She'll be fine after a period of rest."
At this time, Li Qiyu, who had been sitting obediently and being questioned by the doctor, asked, "Doctor, you've been asking me questions every day. Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course you can. Go ahead." The psychiatrists were all kind - looking.
"I see that all of you doctors are wearing mourning clothes. Is there someone in your family...?" Li Qiyu had wanted to ask this question for a long time when looking at the doctors in white coats.
Father Li was quick - witted. He covered Li Qiyu's trouble - making mouth.
"Doctor, don't take it to heart. She's just talking nonsense, talking nonsense."
...
Father Li quickly went through the discharge procedures for Li Qiyu. After all, if Li Qiyu grabbed another doctor and asked if someone in their family had died, it would be embarrassing for him to handle the situation.
Because the discharge was done in a hurry and there was no time to notify, when Song Jiaye came to the hospital to see Li Xiyu for the second time, the nurse told him that the patient had already been discharged.
For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a bit sad.
Li Xiyu used to report everything to him in detail. Why didn't she even notify him when she was discharged?
Father Li originally wanted to send Li Xiyu to the Xiyu Villa he gave to his daughter when she got married.
Unexpectedly, in the car, his daughter affectionately held his arm and said, "Dad, I want to go home with you."
"Go home? Not go to Song Jiaye's place?"
"What for? I've divorced him! I want to go home with you."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Father Li's face, which was quickly caught by Li Qiyu.
"Dad, do you not want your daughter anymore?"
Father Li quickly waved his hand. "How could that be!"
After comforting Li Qiyu, he took out his phone and quietly sent a message in the group named "Rain - proof Family Group": Level - one alert. Xiyu is coming home.
Soon, Mother Li, Brother Li, Sister - in - law Li and even the little nephew all responded in the group.
"We'll deal with it right away. Dad, you try to stall for time first."
Everyone was like facing a great enemy. The Li family suddenly became busy. Everyone was running back and forth. People who didn't know might think the Li family was on fire.
