Chapter 8: You Should Love No One but Me (I)

Translator: Flying Lines

All the people were astonished about what the emperor said.

Somebody still tried to say something against Hua Qingxin, “So… What Ronghua Hua did yesterday was despicable. She was so brazen-faced to seduce your majesty in the Imperial Garden…”

“She did it to make me happy, and I quite enjoy it.”

“Elder brother…”

“You slander her just because she did what you couldn’t do?”

Everyone in the palace were at a loss. The Empress Dowager made no comment.

The emperor they had been familiar with was strict, decisive, resolute and cold. But now he seemed to have changed into another person.

But the look in his eyes was still as familiar, indifferent and resolute as it usually was when he was not looking at Hua Qingxin.

The Empress Dowager smiled gently. She was old, with much more experiences. Maybe everyone would meet somebody that made him willing to change himself.

But such changes might not be a good thing.

“The concubines are caring about you. Such outrageous things make people worried. But they are too impatient. You really need someone steady and prudent to serve you.” By saying so, she waved to her niece Li Zhuozhuo.

Li Zhuozhuo took the hint. She walked to the emperor gently by folding her hands together in front of her stomach.

The Empress Dowager took this mild girl to her side, with joys and love in her eyes. She then looked at Yun Cang and said, “Zhuozhuo is 16 years old now, and she has always been behaving under my guidance. I think…”

“It’s the time to pick a good man for her, so your guidance won’t end up in vain”

“…”

Hua Qingxin did not hear the words after “I don’t care about what she did in the past. I just care about what she does now!”.

Her mind was in a chaos, full of mixed feelings. She was not as urgent to die as she was.

Turned out he was not a bad emperor. He was arrogant and self-conceited, but he had his own belief. He dared to say what others thought wrong and disobey the Empress Dowger to protect Hua Qingxin.

If Prince Yun Hai could insist on his choice like him… No, he did not need to do that; if he only said sorry to her, she might have already hung herself before the selection of imperial concubines.

Hua Qingxin was taken out of the Empress Dowger’s palace by Yun Cang. Her head was still in a blank. She had no idea about the expressions on those concubines’ faces when they saw her off, but she was unafraid for no reason.
