After the collapse of the war there was no peace, the Taiqing wind and rain swaying;
The Sovereign King felt so helpless. He wanted to accept Meng Fei Fei to protect Bei An.
When the rebels heard the news of the fall of the Great Qing Empress, they started to spread the rumor that ”the Great Qing Empress had passed away, and that the great Qing Dynasty would soon come to an end.” This rumor became more and more intense, stirring up those who did not want to go back on their words. In May, the soldiers of Pingyang, Zhejiang, June, and Zu Hongxun mutinied in Wenzhou, and then Wenzhou, Huangyan, Taiping, and other camps also lost out to the rebels in a series of battles at Chang Shan, Wu Dang, Chang Shan, and Wu Dang. At the same time, the court appointed Bel Sang-shang as the great general of Jingkou in Anyuan, led the court to Yuezhou, ordered Wang Jie-shu, the son of the emperor, to go to Zhejiang, and sent General Dingxi to Sichuan. Xuan Ye knew that he no longer had a way out. There was only one way out in the Great Qing Province, and that was to fight to the bitter end.
Rong'er cherished this daughter of hers very much. In the morning, when she went to the Peace Palace to pay her respects, she had already seen that the child was healthy, and the empress could finally be at ease, right? A month had passed, and Rong'er was very lonely, and in the past, she had been allowed to chat with the empress in the East Warm Pavilion. But now, she was the only one left. She really didn't want to see Zhang Leyan at all. She was really lonely. Of course, the only thing worth being gratified about was that the emperor didn't forget that she was the same as before, often visiting her.
”Lord Rong, the Emperor has arrived.” Rong'er hurriedly carried him and stood up.
”Your majesty, why have you come so late?” Rong'er asked in surprise.
Xuan Ye took the imperial edict from Rong'er. ”Let me take a look at my daughter. Come, let me give Huang Ama a smile.” Seeing Xuan Ye's noble demeanor, he was also exceptionally happy. His face also revealed a cute smile. Xuan Ye held his daughter tight in heartache and looked at Rong'er, saying, ”I just saw the Minister and couldn't fall asleep. I came out to see the moon, and when I looked, I saw Rong'er here.” Xuan Ye was still very worried about Rong'er after Changhua's departure from the palace. He knew how close she was to the empress, so he didn't dare to leave Rong'er in grief. That was why he often came to see her. His body was very weak, and he looked worried at times. He was truly worried that as long as Rong'er was around, he wouldn't feel lonely.
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Rong'er smiled faintly. ”The emperor has been working day and night to take care of the dragon's body.”
”I will.” Xuan Ye laughed softly, but his smile could not cover the fatigue on his face, ”Sigh, the war in the south is not going well, I really feel very tired. All the troops from the north are moving to the south, and the surrounding of the capital is soon going to be empty.
”Then does the emperor have any solutions?” Rong'er asked worriedly.
”Mm, according to Empress Dowager's method, if you're still a concubine, the concubine of the harem will become a rule that I have no choice but to use. This Emperor will forever remember the words of the empress dowager. Even if I, the Consort, were to marry again, the more family I have, the more people will support me. ”
Rong'er didn't say anything, only quietly listening to Xuan Ye speak. She knew the emperor would say this, so she had already decided to take in a consort.
