Riding the Pheonix Chapter 788: Follow-up

?Mingwei didn’t return to Ji’s house.

After being busy all night, she slept for a while in the palace of Concubine Pei.

When I woke up, I found the sky was bright.

Perhaps in order to let her sleep for a while, Concubine Pei was left alone and the surroundings were quiet.

She got up out of bed and left the inner room.

I don’t want Concubine Pei to sit outside, holding a teacup in her hand, seemingly in a daze.

"Empress?"

Concubine Pei came back to her senses and smiled: "Are you awake? Look at you, you haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, have you? You slept very deeply."

Mingwei smiled.

The overall situation is settled, which shows that she has truly changed the future. I finally let go of the worry I had been feeling for several years, so I had a particularly relaxing sleep.

Looking at Concubine Pei's face, she said with concern: "Your Majesty, these geniuses are working so hard, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'm older and sleep less, so I can't compare to you young people." Concubine Pei said with a smile, "But I only got up a little earlier than you, so I got enough sleep."

With that said, she motioned to the palace attendants to help Mingwei wash up.

While watching, he talked to her.

"You two are really old, so you have to get married as soon as possible. As soon as the national mourning is over, the ceremony will be held immediately. I really didn't expect that you delayed it until now."

Ming smiled.

In the beginning, she was engaged. Later, she was worried about her own fate and did not dare to agree easily.

Finally, after returning from Nanchu, she felt that there would be no problem getting married, but something like this happened again.

One thing after another, where is the opportunity to get married?

However, now, the dust has settled and you can rest assured.

After washing up, Mingwei asked the palace attendants to step aside and sat down in front of Concubine Pei.

"Empress."

Concubine Pei knew very well: "What do you want to say?"

Ming Wei said: "The emperor passed away, and you should mourn for him. But he was such a person, and it would be unreasonable for you to pay tribute to him."

Concubine Pei nodded.

"Besides, since His Highness has succeeded to the throne, your identity must also be explained. So..."

"What do you think we should do?" Concubine Pei asked her with a smile.

"Let Concubine Pei die." Mingwei said, "Just say that she died for the late emperor and be buried together."

Concubine Pei nodded and said: "That's fine. This identity should not exist."

She sighed and rubbed the teacup in her hand: "When Ayan's father died, I was afraid that people would see it, so I didn't even dare to wear filial piety. Now if I keep filial piety for him, it would be too disgusting."

"Exactly."

Concubine Pei hesitated for a while, but still couldn't make up her mind, and asked her again: "If Concubine Pei dies, what should I do?"

Ming smiled and said: "It depends on your own thoughts. If you want to get rid of the shackles of the royal family, then find another identity. If you are reluctant to let go of His Highness and want to watch him in the palace, then become the Queen Mother."

"But, wouldn't the courtiers know this? Will it bring shame to Ayan?"

Mingwei asked her: "Does the empress care about false fame?"

Concubine Pei shook her head: "I don't care myself, but he...my son, he is going to become the king of a country, how can I bear to let him bear the stigma?"

Ming smiled and said: "What stigma? What humiliation? Where is the fault of the empress? It is the late emperor who should be shamed, and he should be the one who has to bear the stigma. You are the victim, so you should be upright. . Just because he will become the emperor, he must set an example for the people of the world. Those who have been hurt and insulted should not bear the stigma. You have straightened your waist and made the women of the world feel more courageous."

She paused and then said: "As a result, you will inevitably have to bear some rumors, and even spread them to future generations. This is naturally a pressure for you, so I think that if you feel that, you can remove the added pressure. If you can live with the shackles that are on you more easily, you can also find another identity."

Concubine Pei thought about it and finally made up her mind.

"My mother and son have been separated for more than 20 years, and we finally got together. Why should I leave him? I just need to make up for the time I owe."

She paused, then smiled and said: "What is pressure? In the past twenty years, this is not the only pressure I have endured? There were a lot of rumors about me before, didn't they come back again? In comparison , I am willing to bear such rumors."

Ming smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is truly the most courageous woman in the world."

After saying that, she said sadly: "I wish my mother could be like you."

Concubine Pei knew Mrs. Mingsan's experience, so she held her hand and comforted her: "Your mother is a miserable person. Her situation is even more difficult than mine. She doesn't even have room for maneuver. The most devastating thing is..."

She paused. Although I feel that I have had a hard time these years, compared with Mrs. Mingsan, I am much luckier. At least until the moment of her death, she was convinced that her husband loved her, unlike Mrs. Ming San, whose entire belief collapsed.

Concubine Pei patted her hand: "It's all over. A good person like her will definitely find a good family."

Ming smiled and nodded.

The two talked for a while, then Mingwei said: "Since it has been decided to let Concubine Pei die, you don't have to come forward, just rest in the palace. I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."

Concubine Pei happily agreed and asked the palace servants to bring thick clothes and warned: "It's winter now. You should be careful not to freeze. I heard from Ayan that you have suffered a lot of injuries in the past two years. , you need to take a good rest in the future, don’t rely on your youth and not take your body seriously.”

Ming Weirou complied and left under the watch of Concubine Pei.

She went to see Yang Shu first.

This whole night, Yang Shu didn't sleep much. There were too many things to do.

But it didn’t matter that he was in good health. When Mingwei saw him, he was still in high spirits and not tired.

"Did you sleep well last night? In fact, you can rest more, there are so many other things to do. How is my mother? How did she sleep last night?"

Mingwei replied: "Have a good sleep, my queen also slept well~IndoMTL.com~ She seems to be in good spirits and in a good mood. What about you? Can you still cope with these things?"

Yang Shu smiled and said: "I thought it would be difficult to be an emperor before, but now I think it shouldn't be anything. But things are more complicated, so I just need to sort out my thoughts. Don't worry, just wait until you get married. Let's go!" As he said that, he waved his fist, as if he was swearing, "I must get married this time, and I will never miss it again."

Mingwei laughed accordingly.

"Okay." She deserves to be submissive.

It's not that hard, she thought. When things come to an end, I find that it is not that difficult to do. Now it seems impossible to ask her to leave, or to see him marry someone else. Then just go with the trend. Since God has given you a way to survive, you can't not give up this small opportunity, right?

However, she came here because she had something else to ask.

"Have you caught Zhang Tan?"

"Caught and locked up. Xuanfei is watching him now."

"Okay." She said, "I'll go meet him."
