Riding the Pheonix Chapter 304: Heartotomy

Dark blue curtains create a dark atmosphere.

The emperor then lay half on the bed, hugging Concubine Pei, and spoke softly: "Don't think too much, Yue is still young, and if he is gone, we have no fate with him. Take good care of your body, and you will have a chance in the future. Still. There is an old man in his forties, and we still have at least ten years..."

Concubine Pei didn't speak, she just leaned against him and looked at the curtain blankly.

The emperor changed the subject: "When you feel better, can we stay at Luoshan Palace for a while? There are hot springs there, which are very comfortable in winter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Pei forced a smile, as if to comfort him.

The emperor was heartbroken, held her in his arms, and took the initiative to talk about the topic: "I know you are thinking about Shu'er. It's my fault. I was angry for a moment... I obviously agreed to the eldest sister back then. This child is also well-behaved, those He has nothing to do with it. Don't worry, I will issue an order..."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Pei interrupted him.

The emperor looked down at her and said softly: "If you have any requests, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Concubine Pei shook her head, leaned on his chest, and said softly: "I have no requirements, I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with His Majesty..."

The emperor hurriedly said: "No! Ah Rong, you don't need to say anything, I understand it. I was just obsessed with it for a while..."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Pei said sadly, "Are you not even willing to listen to what I have to say?"

The emperor had to sit back, as if waiting for the verdict, and said in a heavy tone: "Okay, you say."

Concubine Pei calmed down and spoke softly: "I know that Your Majesty is worried. After all, when I followed His Majesty, I was a widow and a widow who had given birth to children. But Your Majesty not only does not dislike me, but also treats me I am so kind to you, even Shu'er is extra lenient. These are things that ordinary men cannot do, not to mention that your majesty is the king of a country. I will bear this affection in my heart."

"In the past eighteen years, we have never mentioned the past. We thought this was the best for each other, but now I realize that I was wrong." Concubine Pei raised her head, looked at him with a pale face, and was about to cry, "The knot is there. It's just there. If you don't pretend it's not there, it's really not there. Your Majesty, I can't change the past, but we have been together for eighteen years! Think about it, he and I have been married for only one year, and now we have already After so many years, I can no longer remember what he looked like. The person who is with me now is you!"

Sobbing softly, echoing in the room, Concubine Pei said intermittently: "How have you treated me in the past eighteen years? Wouldn't I know? Even when the queen was here, you never let me suffer any injustice. . The human heart is made of flesh, how can I not be moved by this? I usually don’t talk about it, thinking that you all know it..."

The emperor originally thought that she was going to scold him, but he didn't expect that she would confess like this. My heart, which was already filled with self-blame, was suddenly so painful that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't help but hugged Concubine Pei tightly, and apologized repeatedly: "It's my fault, it's my pettiness. I'm sorry!"

Concubine Pei cried for a while, burying herself in his chest and continued: "I am too selfish. Even though I know that His Majesty is worried, I always ask you to let Shu'er into the palace. Your Majesty is already very fond of him. I treat you kindly, but I didn’t take your feelings into consideration.”

The emperor was so excited that he blurted out: "I was wrong, I will let him out now."

"No!" Concubine Pei flatly refused. She grabbed the emperor's sleeves and raised her head. "I don't want this anymore. For my own selfish reasons, I left him here to hurt His Majesty."

"Don't think like that." The emperor soothed softly, "I was distracted for a moment. This child is actually very sensible and does all his errands very well. Besides, he regards me as his father, so that's okay."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Pei looked at him pleadingly, "This is not only for you, but also for me. Although he comforted me when he was here, he always told me to dwell on the past. Just say This child, if I had been more careful, maybe he could have stayed... I don’t want to make the same mistake again. No matter what, the past has passed. He is my child, so I will naturally feel sorry for him. , but he is not the only concubine, there is also Your Majesty, and maybe there will be children in the future... It is unfair to give up you all just for him."

The emperor was so moved that he held her hand tightly: "My beloved concubine, I have let down your sincerity..."

Concubine Pei leaned against him tiredly and said softly: "So, Your Majesty, in order for us to have a better future, let him go. He is already so old. He will marry a wife and have children in the future, and will have his own family. ... I have nothing to let go of, I. But you have to be lenient to him, so that I won’t always think about you..."

"Okay! It's all up to you!" The emperor agreed.

After a while, Wan Dabao reported in a low voice outside: "Your Majesty, the empress's medicine is ready."

The emperor was in a good mood: "Send it in quickly."

Wan Dabao came in with medicine and was surprised to see the two of them smiling. His Majesty personally fed the imperial concubine the medicine ~IndoMTL.com~ Although both of them had traces of crying on their faces, they were in a good mood at this time and even talked and laughed in a low voice.

What's going on?

Is it going to be fine so soon?

After drinking the medicine, the two talked softly for a while. Seeing that noon had passed, Concubine Pei felt sleepy and said, "Your Majesty didn't go to the morning court, did you? It's all my fault for delaying you. I'm here, concubine." There’s nothing else to do, you can go and deal with government affairs.”

The emperor said softly: "I still want to accompany you for a while."

Concubine Pei smiled and shook her head: "I'm sleepy, I just need to take a rest, but you are disturbing me here."

The last sentence had a hint of resentment that it didn't usually have, and it was so close. The emperor felt as if he had drunk honey, and he felt as if he had drunk honey, and he responded: "Okay, you have a good rest and don't worry about anything else. I promise you. , it will definitely be done."

Afterwards, Cui Shun and others were called, and they gave detailed instructions several times before leaving with satisfaction.

Everyone in the palace retreated, and Concubine Pei lay back on the bed. The smile on her face faded little by little, and she looked numbly at the curtain above her head.

Dark blue with gray tones can set off a sad and heavy atmosphere, which is just the right choice.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her lower abdomen, closed her eyes tightly, showing a slight look of pain, bit her lip hard, and became determined.

This child shouldn't have come!

Not loved, only harming others and yourself.

The emperor returned to Mingguang Hall in a happy mood and ordered Wan Dabao to summon the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters.

The prime ministers were surprised to see the emperor in a good mood. But they are not three aunts and six wives. After seeing the ceremony, they started to discuss government affairs.

After the government affairs were completed and the prime ministers exited the Mingguang Hall, the emperor called out to Prime Minister Lu Qian. ...
