”Your Majesty …” When Rong'er heard that the emperor was going to beat up her personal palace maid, he finally turned around and said, ”I beg you, your majesty, don't hit them. It's Rong'er who can't eat them, so don't blame them.”

Seeing that Rong'er had opened his mouth to speak, Xuan Ye hurriedly walked to the bedside and asked, ”Rong'er, are you awake?”

”Your majesty, please spare them.”

Xuan Ye waved to the eunuchs who had just entered the room to carry out the order. ”You may leave.” He then said to Xiao Qing and the others, ”For the sake of your master, I will let you off this time. In the future, please serve me well. ”All of you can go now. Listen outside the door.” Little Qing and the other two thanked him, then left the room.

”Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for them? You clearly know that it isn't their fault.” Jia Rong'er said with a hoarse voice.

”Rong'er, I'm worried about you, you know.” Xuan Ye sat down on the bed and gently held Gai Rong'er's hand as he said softly, ”Rong'er, Rui'er is gone. My sorrow is not inferior to yours, but Rui'er is already gone. Are you going to abandon me and Rui'er?”

”Your Majesty …” ”When chenqie thinks of Rui'er, who is suffering, she feels sad. It's because chenqie didn't become a good concubine.” As he spoke, tears came again.

Xuan Ye lightly wiped Rong'er's tears and said, ”Rong'er, you know very well that this isn't your fault, and my royal grandmother is already sick with guilt. If you had another accident, what would you have your royal grandmother think? The ancestor was looking after Rui'er, but Rui'er unfortunately caught a bad disease, and now you think this way, won't you make my royal grandmother blame herself even more?”

”Your Majesty …” ”Chenqie didn't mean that.” Gaylen hurriedly explained in a low voice.

”I know that you are not a weird grandma, but you have to be strong in order to make her feel at ease.” Xuan Ye pressed Rong'er's hand to his cheek and continued, ”Rui'er is dead. Rong'er is sad. The empress dowager and I, as well as the empress who have always taken care of Rui'er, are all very sad. But if we're still alive, we still have to stay strong and live.”

”Your Majesty …” Hearing the emperor's words, Rong'er felt that he was right. He said in a low voice, ”Rong'er is too stubborn. Rong'er will hide his sorrow deep in his heart and not let the emperor, empress dowager, empress dowager or empress worry.”

”This is my good son.” Xuan Ye held Gai Rong'er in his arms. forward. His heart … Li Jun softly said, ”Rong'er, believe in me. We will have another Rui'er. From tomorrow onwards, other than you, we will not summon anyone else. I believe that the children of Rong'er and I will be back soon.”

After that, Xuan Ye ordered the imperial kitchens to prepare all the food Rong'er could eat and immediately brought it over. Then, he accompanied Rong'er in taking care of him until very late at night.

Before leaving, Xuan Ye lightly caressed Rong'er's cheek and said, ”Rong'er, promise me that you will be strong and live well. Promise me that you won't forget what you've said and that you will accompany me until the end of time.”

Rong'er nodded, his face turning slightly red as he said in a low voice, ”Rong'er has made the emperor worry. Rong'er has promised the emperor that he will never let the emperor worry about him again, and Rong'er will live a strong life, burying the shame and shame in his heart. Rong'er will accompany the emperor until the end of his life.”

In the depths of Xuan Ye's heart, he could finally feel a bit of warmth. He hoped that the heavens pitied him and Rong'er, and bestowed another child upon them.
