Chapter 425 The Little Doctor Girl Knows How to Pamper and Flirt (Part 20)
Ji Xiaosong was taken aback by these unexpected words.
She really hadn't expected that Si Di would be willing to marry her so quickly.
After all, their statuses were quite unequal.
Even if the original owner of this body had no contact with the imperial court, she had only heard about the Emperor's background from the common people.
The Si family is a family of generals who have protected the country for generations.
Although only Emperor Si was left in his generation, he was still not someone she, an abandoned illegitimate daughter, could cling to.
She had thought before that if she could help Si Di fulfill his wish and have another child, then her mission in this life would be complete.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor wants to marry her?
This……
Perhaps Ji Xiaosong's disbelief was too direct, for Si Di's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at her stunned expression.
"Is it because I'm pregnant that you want to marry me?" Ji Xiaosong asked uncertainly.
Upon hearing her say this, Si Di reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.
"Who do you take me for?" His voice was deep and dangerous. "If I just wanted a child, I could choose any woman in the world. Why would I need you?"
Ji Xiaosong's eyelashes trembled slightly, stunned by his sudden assertiveness.
Si Di's fingers gently caressed her cheek, the touch light yet carrying an undeniable force: "You're different from others. You're not some delicate flower waiting to be cherished. You are you, brave and full of love..."
His thumb gently caressed her lips: "Why do you think I allowed you to stay in the army? Why did I condone your involvement in military affairs? Why did I personally go to find you every time you risked your life?"
Ji Xiaosong's heart raced as she looked at the surging emotions in his eyes.
“Because I’m insane.” Si Di suddenly lowered his head and bit her lip hard. “So insane that even though I knew your identity was suspicious, I still couldn’t help but keep you by my side.”
His breath was scorching: "So crazy that seeing you injured, he wanted nothing more than to slaughter the entire Liu family."
Ji Xiaosong groaned in pain, but he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
The kiss carried a hint of punishment, yet also held an unspeakable tenderness.
"You think..." Si Di pressed his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse, "that I would let my child be an illegitimate child without any status?"
His hand slid down to her lower abdomen: "I will not let his mother suffer the slightest grievance."
Ji Xiaosong's eyes welled up with tears as she suddenly realized what was happening.
Si Di was telling her in his own way that he wanted not only the child, but also her.
"But my identity..."
"Does it matter?" Si Di sneered. "I said you are the General's wife, who dares to say a word against it?"
He pinched her chin: "Or... are you unwilling?"
Ji Xiaosong looked into his deep eyes, and the unwavering determination within them made her heart tremble.
She suddenly laughed and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck: "General, how could I dare say no to such a domineering attitude?"
Si Di's eyes darkened, and he abruptly pressed her onto the bed: "You can try."
His lips brushed against her ear, his voice low and dangerous: "But I promise you, you'll regret this."
Ji Xiaosong chuckled and kissed his lips: "Then... I'll gladly accept your offer."
The darkness in Si Di's eyes deepened as he gripped her wrist and pressed it against the pillow: "Remember, from this day forward, you are my lawfully wedded wife, Si Yuan."
"To live, we'll share the same bed..." His kiss landed on her brow, "To die, we'll share the same grave."
These six words carry immense weight.
Ji Xiaosong's heart trembled, and she finally understood how deep this man's love was.
He didn't use sweet words to persuade, but rather proved it with the most direct actions:
He wanted to give her a title, a status, and a lifelong commitment.

The news of Ji Xiaosong's pregnancy spread like wildfire through the military camp and quickly reached the entire northern border.
Upon hearing the news, the people on the border sent them gifts:
Baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, hand-sewn baby clothes, and even amulets for good luck.
"The General's wife is pregnant! This is a joyous occasion!" The old village chief of Li Family Village, leaning on his cane, shakily handed over a jar of homemade rice wine. "This is the best wine in our village, for the General and his wife to celebrate!"
Emperor Si rarely showed a smile. He personally accepted the wine jar and said, "Thank you."
Ji Xiaosong recovered quickly from her injuries, but Emperor Si was still worried and had the military doctor check her pulse every day to ensure that she and the fetus in her womb were safe.
"General, if you keep staring like that, the army doctor will be scared to death," Ji Xiaosong said with a helpless smile.
Si Di snorted coldly, but still reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen, whispering, "I just... don't want to lose anything more."
Ji Xiaosong's heart softened, and she held his hand: "No, the baby and I will be fine."
Emperor Si lowered his eyes, his fingertips gently caressing her wrist, and after a long while said, "I have already sent people to prepare for the wedding. Once your injury is completely healed, we will get married."
Ji Xiaosong was taken aback: "So fast?"
"Quickly?" Si Di raised an eyebrow, his tone dangerous. "Do you think I'd make you wait?"
Ji Xiaosong chuckled: "I just didn't expect the general to be in such a hurry."
Si Di snorted coldly, leaned down and whispered in her ear: "If it weren't for your health, I would want to tie you up and take you to the wedding right now."
Ji Xiaosong's ears burned, and she nudged him, saying, "General, mind your image."
Si Di smiled and pinched her cheek: "Anyway, you'll be my wife sooner or later, so what's there to be afraid of?"

A month later, Ji Xiaosong recovered from her injuries, and preparations for Si Di's wedding were completed.
The wedding was held in a military camp in the North, which, though not as luxurious as the capital, was solemn and sincere in every way.
Ji Xiaosong wore a bright red wedding dress, with a phoenix embroidered in gold thread spreading its wings as if about to take flight, which made her skin look as white as snow and her beauty beyond compare.
"Madam, you are so beautiful." The maid put the phoenix crown on her head and couldn't help but exclaim.
Ji Xiaosong looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt a sense of unreality.
She's really going to marry Si Di.
The once aloof and ruthless general now showers her with tenderness.
Joyful music came from outside the tent, and the maidservants quickly covered her head with a red veil and helped her out of the tent.
The Emperor was already waiting outside.
He wore a black wedding gown with gold trim, which made his figure appear as tall and straight as a pine tree.
His once stern features were much softer today, and there was even a hint of a smile on his lips.
Upon seeing Ji Xiaosong emerge, he strode forward and swept her up in his arms.
"General!" Ji Xiaosong exclaimed, "This is against etiquette..."
Si Di chuckled softly, "My wife, I can hold her however I want."
The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter and cheered.
Ji Xiaosong buried her face in his chest in embarrassment, but Si Di didn't care at all and carried her straight to the wedding hall.
The wedding was simple yet solemn: bowing to heaven and earth, bowing to the parents (a symbolic bow to an empty chair), and the couple bowing to each other.
Si Di held Ji Xiaosong's hand tightly the whole time, as if afraid she would run away.
After the ceremony, the Emperor lifted her veil and kissed her in front of everyone.
"Wow—!" The surrounding soldiers cheered and applauded.
Ji Xiaosong blushed and gently nudged him, saying, "General... so many people are watching..."
Si Di smiled and whispered in her ear, "What are you afraid of? You are my lawfully wedded wife. I can kiss you whenever I want."
After saying that, he pecked her lips again, making her ears burn.
