Chapter 400 Burial of the Concubine VS Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 48
Emperor Jing was sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his brows furrowed, his heart was in turmoil, and his mind was full of Yao'er's words about leaving the palace.
"Lu Xi, what do you think I should do with Qin Zhaorong?"
Emperor Jing stopped and looked at Lu Xi beside him.
Lu Xi lowered his head, thought for a moment and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Empress Qin Zhaorong may just be angry for a moment. After all, she is pregnant with the dragon heir and her mood is easy to fluctuate. Why don't you give her another chance, Your Majesty?" Opportunity, go to Xinghua Palace to express your feelings?”
Emperor Jing frowned, "I am the most powerful person in the world, do you want me to bow my head again? Besides, she is so stubborn, she may not be willing to see me if I go."
Lu Xi did not dare to speak anymore, but He stood silently, his head lowered, his body seemed to be frozen, and the hall fell into a dead silence.
A moment of silence.
"Let's check to see if Qin Zhaorong has contacted anyone outside the palace recently. Also, we are keeping an eye on the colored glaze and amber in her palace."
Voice of Emperor Jing Cold, like the cold wind in winter, with an unquestionable commanding tone.
Lu Xi's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed, turning around to retreat, but was stopped by Emperor Jing: "Wait a minute, go get some rare medicinal materials, and the prenatal education books written by me, and send them to Xinghua Palace. "It's my intention."
In the Xinghua Palace at this time, the branches of several apricot blossom trees in the courtyard were swaying gently in the breeze, and a few petals fell, which seemed to be telling the story of the women in the palace. sad.
Yu Yao was discussing the plan to leave the palace with Liuli and Amber.
"My Lady, this palace is heavily guarded. It's not easy to get out."
Liu Li said worriedly.
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, "I have my own way, but we still need to wait for the opportunity. There are informants everywhere in this palace, and we must act cautiously."
Hu Bo nodded in agreement, "Empress, then we What preparations need to be made now? "
Yu Yao was about to speak when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
"Madam, Eunuch Luxi is here. He said that the emperor has sent many things, as well as several prenatal education books."
Xiao Qingzi walked in and reported respectfully.
Hearing this, Yu Yao's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, both surprise and disdain, "That's all, take it and tell them that I have thanked the emperor for his kindness."
But he didn't want to go out. , only Xiao Qingzi was asked to reply.
Night fell, slowly covering the entire palace like a piece of black satin.
Emperor Jing sat alone in the imperial study, the candlelight on the table swaying in the breeze, and the light and shadow swaying on the wall.
Emperor Jing sat alone in the imperial study, flipping through the memorials in his hands, but could not read a single word.
He put down his pen, gently rubbed his eyebrows, and thought to himself: "Yao'er, what are you thinking about? Why are you so decisive?"
Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, got up and put on his robe. Go to Xinghua Palace.
But it was really quietly, without anyone.
When Emperor Jing arrived at the gate of Xinghua Palace, he saw that the gate was tightly closed and there was silence, as if even the wind had held its breath.
He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and climbed over the wall directly.
Yu Yao didn't know that the Dog Emperor would come, and the bedroom door was not locked.
I am taking a rest on the couch at the moment, with a few unread story books scattered around.
The candle burned quietly aside, occasionally making a slight crackling sound.
Emperor Jing approached softly, for fear of waking her up.
He stared at her sleeping face, feeling unprecedented tenderness and guilt in his heart.
He stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, but stopped in mid-air, and finally just gently covered her with a thin blanket.
"Yaoer, do you know that my heart has never left you."
He whispered in her ear, his voice full of helplessness and affection.
Yu Yao seemed to feel something, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not wake up.
Emperor Jing smiled bitterly and turned to leave, but he heard her soft voice coming from behind: "Your Majesty, you are here."
He turned around in shock and saw that Yu Yao had woken up and was looking at him intently, with complex eyes like a bottomless lake, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
This She had thought about this matter for a long time. In fact, the Dog Emperor had nothing wrong with him.
As an emperor, it is natural for him to have three thousand beauties in his harem, and it is normal for him to be romantic and happy with other concubines. He is like the sun in the sky, its light shines all over the earth, and it is impossible for it to shine only on this little flower of its own.
He never belonged to himself.
And she is just one of his many women, just like one of the many flowers in the royal garden, and she is not even qualified to be jealous.
If the Dog Emperor hadn't been somewhat sincere to her, based on her behavior, she would have been relegated to the cold palace.
She knew that her mentality was wrong. It should have changed since she knew that the Dog Emperor liked her.
There is no way to treat him as an emperor anymore, asking for more, wanting more, and seeing him doting on other women.
“You speak, I listen.”
There was a hint of unnoticeable nervousness in Emperor Jing's voice.
"I know that the emperor has concubines, noble concubines, and three thousand beauties in the harem. I don't ask for exclusive favor. I only hope that the emperor can understand that all I want is to be single-minded. If the emperor cannot do this, I would rather take this child and find a peaceful place to live this remaining life."
Yu Yao's voice was soft, but every word was loud. .
After listening to Yu Yao’s words, Emperor Jing’s eyes flashed with a trace of struggle.
He stood there for a long time, as if thinking about something difficult to decide.
"Yao'er, I know that my behavior has disappointed you. I am in the position of an emperor, and the matters in the harem are complicated. I thought that my preference for you was enough for you to understand my feelings, but I didn't expect that for you Bringing such pain."
Emperor Jing's voice was hoarse, "My feelings for you are definitely not the same as for other concubines. The smile is deep in my heart. But I can't only care about you. Behind me is the whole country."
Yu Yao raised her head and looked directly into Emperor Jing's eyes. "Your Majesty, I understand your responsibilities. But I am just an ordinary woman, and all I want is a pure relationship. The Emperor can have many concubines, but I only want the Emperor's heart. I am the only one in the palace. I know that this request is too much, so I want to leave this palace and live my own life."
Emperor Jing frowned and said slowly: "Yao. Son, I know that I have made you feel wronged. I have also tried to balance this harem, but I find that I cannot be indifferent to you. I can promise you that I will try my best to avoid it in the future. He has had sex with his concubines many times, but I am the emperor, and there are some things that I cannot fully control."
Yu Yao sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties. It’s hard to untie. I don’t want to be in this deep palace, looking forward to the emperor’s arrival every day and worrying about the emperor being snatched away by other concubines.”
All the excuses are just not loving enough.
When Ye Beichen, the male protagonist of the first dimension, reached the later stage, he took the initiative to dismiss the harem in order to prevent anyone from harming her and her children.
Comparing the two, the love of the Dog Emperor is really cheap.
This thought flashed through her mind, but she did not say it out loud. She just compared it silently in her heart.
After hearing her words, Emperor Jing felt helpless and sour.
He knew the pain in Yao'er's heart, but as an emperor, it was really difficult for him to be as dedicated as she expected.
"Yao'er, I will think about this matter carefully. I hope you will not be impulsive. After all, you are still in this palace and have my children."
The voice of Emperor Jing A little depressed and a little sad.
Yu Yao bowed slightly and saluted, "I will obey the emperor's will."
Emperor Jing looked at her deeply, turned around and left Xinghua Palace.
He meditated all the way back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and sat on the dragon chair, feeling very upset.
Seeing Emperor Jing's appearance, Lu Xi carefully brought a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. Empress Qin Zhaorong is pregnant with the dragon heir now, so it is normal for her mood swings to be bigger. Wait. When the empress gives birth to a little prince or a little princess, she may change her mind."
Emperor Jing waved his hand, "You don't understand, I know Yao'er's temper best. I can’t even pull him back.”
Lu Xi didn’t dare to say any more and stood aside silently.
In Xinghua Palace, Yu Yao was sitting on the couch, her eyes a little hollow.
Liuli and Amber looked on, worried.
"My Lady, do you really want to leave the palace? Although the world outside the palace is vast, it is also full of unknown dangers for us women."
Liu Li said softly.
Yu Yao came back to her senses and said, "I have made up my mind. In this palace, I will never get what I want. It is better to go out and be at ease."
Hu Bo also advised: "My Lady, what the Emperor said today sounds sincere. Will you not consider it again?"
Yu Yao shook her head, "How long can his sincerity last? It is impossible to expect a man who is romantic at heart to be devoted."
The reason why I said this today is just to give the other party a chance. , and gave herself a chance, but the result still disappointed her.
