C243 (1/2)

Rong'er thought to himself: Was it really my heart that was hurt? Or had my feelings faded? I just wanted to invite him to see Ruo Lan. I didn't know, I really didn't know anything, I was so tired, I just wanted to have a good rest. These headache-inducing questions, I'll leave them for later.

The day Xuan Ye returned to the palace, he paid a visit to Yin Zheng. Yin Xin's condition had basically stabilized, and both Imperial Noble Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine De were extremely worried.

That night, Xuan Ye had just finished his meal. The counselor then carefully stepped forward and asked, ”Your Majesty, should we present the plates today?”

Xuan Ye didn't raise his head. He gently shook his head. ”There's no need to present it. I'll just …” Just directly send it to the Imperial Concubine Rong. ”

The reason why the Emperor was able to follow the Emperor steadily for so many years was because he was not a talkative person, but Xiaoqing was also his friend for many years, and had always wanted to put the Young Master's card in a bit more eye-catching, but she never thought that the Emperor would take the initiative to ask for the Emperor's hand, hence she was happy in her heart and quickly replied, ”Yes, this servant will pass on the message.”

He had always doted on this child very much, and at the age of five, he would soon be able to receive an official prince's education. Before, the other children had died young, and had not reached such a sensible age, so this time, he felt an extraordinary grief, a grief that he had never felt before. Adding this, the Imperial Concubine De was normally a strong and determined person, and she had never easily succumbed to it. If it was due to illness, then it was the will of heaven. He was sad but helpless, but it was this kind of accident, making him sad and angry. Sometimes, when she was angry, he would say things that were said or done in the heat of the moment, and that was not what she was truly thinking.

He felt that he was wrong, that he should not vent his anger on Rong'er. Although Yin came from Rong'er's palace, it did not have anything to do with her. He was so preoccupied with his own grief, that he felt relieved about her, that she would feel sad when Yin died, and that his indifference would make her sad, that he would want to see her when he returned to the palace, and that, if he thought about it carefully, he had indeed neglected Rong'er during this time. He had her in his heart, he knew, but sometimes he really forgot to think about her, and that was why. Thinking of this, a trace of guilt arose in Xuan Ye's heart.

It had been a long time since she had last seen Xuan Ye. Rong'er was a little nervous, not because she wanted to see Xuan Ye, but because she was afraid, yes, because she was afraid that the pain would no longer be like before, that the feelings between them would no longer exist; she was afraid that Xuan Ye wouldn't want to see Ruo Lan, that she wouldn't be able to give an explanation to her. But, Xuan Ye was finally going to see her. When he reached the door, he hesitated.

”Rongzi, quickly go in. The emperor is waiting for you in the palace.” The consultant urged in a low voice.

Rong'er nodded and walked into the hall. Xuan Ye was sitting on the dragon throne, and when he saw Rong'er enter, he called out with a smile, ”Rong'er, you've come.”

Seeing Xuan Ye's smile, Rong'er became a bit absent-minded. It had really been a long time since he last saw it, so he actually thought it was strange. Rong'er respectfully saluted him as before. ”Rong'er greets the emperor. Our emperor has lived for ten thousand years!”

”Rong'er, why are you bowing to me again? Didn't I say that we'd be exempt from everything when it was just the two of us?!” Xuan Ye stood up and walked over to Rong'er, smiling as he spoke.

Rong'er only stood up indifferently. He didn't speak, nor did he raise his head to look at Xuan Ye. He lowered his head slightly, not saying a word.

Xuan Ye let out a soft sigh and walked up to Rong'er. Raising Rong'er's chin, he looked into her eyes and softly said, ”Rong'er, are you blaming me?”

”Chenqie doesn't dare.” Rong'er avoided Xuan Ye's gaze, his tone remained the same as he replied in a low voice.

He slowly walked to the window and softly said, ”I know that you are blaming me, and it is only right that I should not be angry at you. When Yin dies, I will be sad if I go over to you, but I also forget that you will also be sad if you are so kind, and you will definitely blame yourself for your accident. This time, I am truly sorry, but if you really want to blame, I have no complaints.”
