Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 28.1 (1/2)

Chapter 28 part 1

Go…into the palace?

Recently, this general and that princess didn’t live in peace with each other. Two months ago they tried to kill each other. And yesterday the princess had a miscarriage. The emperor being “my” brother in law, surely won’t let me eat good fruit1……

My heart was disturbed. On the way to the palace I thought of numerous ways to escape. But when I looked at Chu Yi, who was riding on a horse beside me; I think he’ll not run away with me. With no servant to serve me, my life as a commoner won’t be easy.

I gritted my teeth, calmed my heart and consoled myself. The emperor also won’t matter. No matter how powerful he is, it’s impossible for him to see that inside this rough man’s skin is a fragile woman.

In the first lifetime, I went to the palace a few times with father Song. I still remember the palace etiquettes. After pa.s.sing the Shen wing, the eunuch took me to the royal study.

Sitting behind a large desk is a man wearing dark red clothes. He was writing. His expression was serious. I thought to myself. The two are emperor, but the emperor of the human realm looks more like an emperor than Yanw.a.n.g.

I don’t know how the emperor usually gets along with the general and I also don’t know if they have a good relations.h.i.+p. So I simply bowed and silently kneeled down. When facing someone strong being obedient is always good.

The eunuch was standing beside the emperor. To reduce their presence, even their breathing couldn’t be heard.

I heard the emperor put aside his brush.

“Qinghui.”

His voice was deep.

“Is Fuying’s body alright?”

I thought for half a day before I realized that Qinhui and Fuying are I and Chu Kong. My heart was lamenting. It really is because of that, that I was summoned. I kept my head down and said: “Your va.s.sal is guilty.”

The side of the emperor was silent. Then I heard a chuckle. The emperor said: “You can stand up. Besides, now the empress dowager isn’t here, you don’t have to pretend anymore.”

Hey, what is this situation? My heart was beating really hard. I pretended to be calm and stood up.

There still a trace of smile on the lips of the emperor behind the desk, but his eyes look like they’re biting into ice. He peered at me and said: “Qinghui, you say, now that Fuying lost the child, will it cause us more harm or will it get us more benefit?”

This emperor and the general are really impure ah……
