The Qing army went north to exterminate the traitors, and all the rebels were exterminated;

They were both later wives, but Meng Fei had become a slave and received a new title.

In the evening, Xuan Ye came to visit Rong'er, who knew that the emperor hadn't turned over any of his imperial concubines' cards tonight. Rong'er had already figured out some of the emperor's rules, and if he turned over the other imperial concubines' cards in the evening after dinner, then it would be because the emperor was tired of watching her and had come to relax his body. Of course, there were also times when the emperor didn't come for a few days, and then something important would happen in the imperial court.

”Rong'er, the good news is back from Zhejiang again.” Xuan Ye said happily. Recently, the news of the Qing army had spread, so he was in a much better mood.

”Your majesty, next month is the empress' anniversary.” Rong'er had been thinking too much about the Queen these past few days. It was time again. She had a child again, but the Queen was gone. A year passed quickly.

Xuan Ye nodded and said, ”Yes, the empress has passed away for a year. Unfortunately, the war has not stopped, the treasury is empty, and we have been unable to build a mausoleum for her, so we can only stop the coffin at Gonghua City. When the empress was alive, she was virtuous, and after she died, she could not return to the ground to rest.”

”Next month is the memorial day. Rong'er really wants to go and pay respects to the empress. Has the emperor approved yet?” Rong'er raised his head to look at Xuan Ye.

”Rong'er, you are pregnant with your child, how can you go? Every one or two months, I will bring you to pay respects, but not next month.” Xuan Ye shook his head and refused.

”But the child won't be born for another two months or so. I beg the emperor to allow Rong'er to pay respects to the empress. Next month is the empress's birthday. Rong'er is going to pay respects to the empress and tell her that everything is well.” Rong'er said anxiously.

”Sigh!” ”Alright, then it will be the same as the month before when we paid our respects to the empress together with us.” Xuan Ye sighed softly.

”Thank you, your majesty!” Rong'er said with a smile.

”Rong'er, how did I find out that I can't refuse any of your requests? I'm too dependent on you, I shouldn't have!” ”It will damage my prestige!” Xuan Ye smiled and sighed, ”But you must be careful. I do not want anything to happen to Rong'er's child!”

”Yes!” Your consort has decreed it! ” Rong'er chuckled lightly as he blessed himself. ”Your Majesty, Rong'er has another matter to discuss with Your Majesty.”

”Oh? What is it? ”Speak.” Xuan Ye leaned against the warm brick bed and lazily looked at Rong'er, who was sitting on the other side of the bed.
