C79 (1/2)

The prince could not escape his life, and Long Xin could not control his grief.

The Zhang family gave birth to a True Dragon Lady, but the princess suffered from an innate disease.

Like his elder brother and sister, Sayyoka was unable to safely get out of this illness. Half a month later, after following behind his five elder brothers and sisters, Sayyoka once again suffered a young death. This was Kang Xi's sixth child, and the grief in his heart could not be described in words.

It was the first time that Rong'er had seen Xuan Ye cry like this on the night of his death. Xuan Ye had never seen the emperor cry like this before, no matter how great the events that had occurred, even if other children had died early in the past, they would only see red in front of Rong'er. However, at this moment, Rong'er truly felt that the emperor was also a person, and was also someone with feelings.

Rong'er was sad that her son was gone, but seeing the emperor like this made him even more sad. She felt that her heart was filled with tears, that Xuan Ye was crying, and Rong'er was also crying.

After who knows how long had passed, Xuan Ye dried his tears and said faintly, ”Others say that I am the Emperor, so I shouldn't cry. But I am also a human, so I will be very sad. How obedient and sensible he is. Why can't all of my children grow up! What did I do wrong!? ”God will do this to me!”

”Your Majesty! ”Don't be sad, be careful of the dragon's body.” Rong'er softly said while wiping away his tears.

”Dragon Body …” Xuan Ye bitterly shook his head. ”The war in the south is full of bad news. If the rivers and mountains are all gone, then what's the use of my Dragon Body?”

Rong'er felt his heart ache. Such a weak emperor made his son's heart ache.

”Rong'er, I've let you watch a joke. Do you think I'll look weak if I cry like this?” Xuan Ye closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice.

”It can't be. The emperor trusts chenqie. How can chenqie laugh at the emperor?” Rong'er whispered with a frown.

Xuan Ye shook his head and stood up. He glanced around the room and sighed. ”You are pregnant, so don't be too sad. Carefully use your womb's energy to search for his elder brother and sister. Rong'er will definitely have another son, I believe …” As Xuan Ye spoke, he staggered towards the room's door.

”Your Majesty …” Rong'er silently recited, looking at Xuan Ye's back. Rong'er truly felt that the current Emperor was very weak, but she also understood that this sort of grief was only a night for the Emperor. Tomorrow, in front of his subjects and other concubines, he would remain strong and resolute.

It was already late in the night, and looking at the flickering candle flame in the room, Rong'er's tears once again filled her face. Cheng Rui, Sai Cha, her two sons left one after the other, bearing the heartache of a mother who had fallen asleep in her little bed, and her daughter was so adorable in her sleep. After the emperor had left, Rong'er had the wet nurse carry her daughter, as if she could only feel a little peace of mind if she looked at her daughter.

This... Another winter …

However, this winter's cold didn't just stop there. A few days later, Yin Ruo Lan gave birth again, and the second child was not saved. Ruo Lan was on the verge of collapse, and Rong'er was in her room, watching Ruo Lan's exhausted cries.

She had always felt that she was responsible for his death, and no matter how others tried to comfort her, it would be difficult for her to let her down. Furthermore, in order for her child to be born safely, the empress refused to take the medicine, so Rong'er really wanted to know if there was any limit to the amount of grief a person could bear.
