C42 (2/2)

Xuan Ye looked at the coat on Gai Rong'er's table and felt sour. He had come here today to tell Rong'er that Cheng Rui was sick, and Rong'er was his mother. He knew that if anything happened to him, and he didn't tell him, Rong'er would blame him, or even hate him.

”Rong'er …” Xuan Ye called out softly, taking Gai Rong'er's hand with both of his own. He said slowly, ”Rong'er, I'm here to tell you …” Xuan Ye hesitated.

”Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why are you so hesitant when you speak? ” Gai Rong'er asked with a puzzled smile.

”Rong'er, I've come to tell you that the Second Nan has sent news. I'm afraid Rui Er is sick.” Xuan Ye said as he clenched his teeth with his eyes closed.

Gai Rong'er's smile froze on his face. ”Your majesty, you said that Rui'er is infected with smallpox?” Gai Rong'er felt his entire body turn ice-cold.

Xuan Ye nodded. Looking at the expression on Gai Rong'er's face, he quickly embraced him and said, ”Rong'er, no matter what happens, you have to be strong.”

”No …” Gai Rong'er pushed the emperor away. ”No, Your Majesty, you lied to chenqie, right? Rachel is all right. ” Gai Rong'er shook his head and murmured, ”A few days ago …” You also told Rong'er that the royal physician had examined her and that she was fine, so you lied to Rong'er, right? ” As he spoke, large droplets of tears rolled down Gai Rong'er's face.

Xuan Ye stepped forward and tightly embraced Gai Rong'er, saying, ”Rong'er, I'm also very sad. smallpox has an incubation period. Rong'er, I'm Rui'er's Ama, and I'm as sad as you, your eldest mother.”

”Your Majesty …” ”Chenqie is going to take care of Rui Er, can you let chenqie take care of Rui'er?” Gaylen cried out.

”Rong'er, no, I won't let you go. I won't let you go.” Xuan Ye gritted his teeth as he embraced Gai Rong'er.

”Your Majesty …” ”Chenqie begs you, chenqie wants to see Rui Er …” Rong'er's tears quickly dampened Xuan Ye's clothes.

”Rong'er, listen to me. Rui Er has smallpox. This is a bad disease. Go take care of Rui Er. What if you get smallpox too?” Xuan Ye looked pitifully at Rong'er as he spoke.

”If Rui Er dies and chenqie can't survive, then chenqie will accompany Rui Er.” Gai Rong'er cried and begged Xuan Ye.

”No!” Rong'er, you better listen clearly for me. I won't allow you to die. You promised me that you would stay with me for the rest of your life. I won't allow you to have such thoughts. ” Xuan Ye shook Rong'er's shoulder in fear.

”Your Majesty, chenqie wants Rui Er …” Your majesty, if anything happens to Rui Er, Rong'er will never see her again. Your majesty, your subject is begging you. ” After saying that, Gai Rong'er kneeled down towards Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye pulled Gai Rong'er up and said, ”I won't allow it! I won't allow it! Rong'er, you have to accompany Rui Er. I also need you to accompany me! ” Xuan Ye looked deeply at Gai Rong'er and said, ”Rong'er, don't worry. I will visit Rui'er often. I'm not afraid of smallpox.”

”Rui Er …” Garion felt her heart break.

”Someone, come.” Xuan Ye called out.

”Your servant is here.” Xiaoqing and Qiu E hurriedly came in to reply.

”From today onwards, you should take good care of Rong Chang Zai, don't let her leave the Peace Palace. If Young Master Rong leaves, all of you should be careful of your heads.” Xuan Ye instructed.

”Your servant commands.” Xiaoqing and Qiu E immediately responded.

Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er again and said softly, ”Rong'er, don't blame me. I'm here for your own good, so I'll come visit you often. Rest well first. Don't think too much about it.

”Your Majesty …” ”Chenqie wants to see Rui'er …” Gai Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye with misty eyes.

Xuan Ye felt his heart ache with pain. He silently asked the heavens why he treated his beloved eldest son like this, and why he treated Rong'er like this as well. He was in so much pain, and he felt as if his heart was about to suffocate.
