Rong'er thought to herself, This is a sad and cold summer day. Tong Xiu-Ning left this palace that made her happy or worried for only one day after becoming the empress. I have never been near her nor can I guess her feelings, but there is an indescribable sadness in my heart. She has longed for the backseat for her entire life, but when she has it, she has to leave.
On the morning of the tenth day, good news came from the palace, saying that the empress woke up early and ate some food. On the morning of the tenth day, good news came from the palace, that the empress woke up early and ate some food and looked good.
He said softly, ”I am indebted to Your Majesty for showing mercy. I have been bestowed the title of Empress and am truly ashamed to be in the back seat, compared to the few concubines, especially the Imperial Concubine Rong and Imperial Concubine Hui I am young. I wish that I could be together with my sisters and watch over the Emperor from the back of the palace. But I know, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on …” Even though her complexion was not bad, she still appeared weak. Her already frail body made her even more frail. The phoenix coronet on her body made people feel especially heavy.
”Empress, don't say that.” Imperial Concubine Wen hurriedly stepped forward to advise him.
”Sister, please take a seat. It's alright.” After a moment, she smiled and said, ”That's nothing to be afraid of. I'm just trying to finish what I just want to say … I... ”I only hope that our sisters can stay united in this imperial harem and help each other …” He slightly panted. ”Let your majesty have no further worries …” ”Then I'll be satisfied …”
”Yes!” ”Queen!” Rong'er was slightly moved and couldn't help but reply.
Tong Xiu Ning nodded slightly at Rong'er. After being silent for a long time, her eyes suddenly turned a little red. ”This empress, Xiu Ning, has a guilty conscience in front of you. She can't serve a monarch …” I hope that in the future, the sisters will be able to … Serve your majesty well, Soo Ning … ”I can die without regrets now …” A few large drops of tears rolled down from Tong Xiu Ning's eyes.
”Don't say anymore! Don't say anymore! ” She cried and said, ”Sis, you won't die, you won't die. You're the empress now, how can you die!? No! No! I don't want you to say it, I don't want you to say it! ”
She gently extended her hands and held Xiushan's hands. ”Silly little sister, don't be sad, take good care of yourself. Since the day you entered the palace, you have taken good care of me every day. I always feel guilty for you. Promise me, and take good care of yourself.”
The empress's words were like a testament, and Rong'er felt a little shaky. She felt that she should say something, but didn't know what to say, but the atmosphere in the palace made her, the oldest concubine, have to take the lead and speak first. After thinking for a long time, she said painfully, ”Empress, you …” ”You'll be fine …
Tong Xiu Ning turned her head to look at Rong'er and then at the other concubines. When she saw that everyone's eyes were red with tears, she let out a light sigh. ”Look at what I'm doing …” I've made everyone unhappy! ”I'm fine. Everyone can go back.”
”Empress!” The Imperial Concubine De mumbled softly as she walked to Tong Xiu Ning's side and gently held her hand. Tears were falling from her eyes. After all, she had been living in the Cheng Gan Palace ever since she had entered the Palace, and Xiu Ning had treated her quite well. Although she had some feelings for her, and because Yin Xin was closer to her, she couldn't help but feel her heart ache at the sight of her impending doom.
Imperial Concubine Hui, Imperial Concubine Yi, Imperial Concubine Wen, and Rong'er all went forward.
