C340 The lord admits his wrongs before his glory (1/2)
Rongzi mused: Actually, every woman in the harem isn't wrong. It's just that they've entered the palace, and they don't have a life of their own here, and some are just circling around the emperor. I suddenly want to think, to think about my life, even though I know I don't have any in the harem, but I still want to think. ★
Rong'er didn't believe that the Imperial Concubine Wen would end his life like this. History can be so similar at times, but everything seemed to have gone back to the time of Empress Xiaozhao's death. What did she want to confess with her death? It was another cold winter. It seemed that in the winter, there would always be something that would make one's heart ache …
”Lord Rong, the Emperor has decreed that the Lord Rong should be invited to sleep with us tonight!” As Rong'er was quietly contemplating, Gu Wenxing had come to pass down an order to the emperor. After the transmission was over, Gu Wenxing said in a soft voice, ”Lord Rong, Imperial Concubine Wen is dead, the emperor is feeling terrible inside, you know the emperor always needs you at this time, so please don't take the previous matter of wronged master to heart. Honestly speaking, sometimes we would feel sorry for the emperor when we were by his side, and other people think that the emperor is the emperor.
Rong'er nodded slightly, ”I know! Right, how will the cause of death of Imperial Consort Wen be announced? ”
”Your servant isn't too sure, but the emperor seems to be considering two methods. One is to announce the death of the guilty concubine, and the other is to announce the death of the retainer of the imperial concubine. Today, there might be a few heirloom lords who will lecture on it, and tomorrow the empress dowager will probably gather all of the palace masters to give a unified statement.” Gu Wenxing replied.
Rong'er nodded his head lightly. The imperial concubines committing suicide was a huge taboo in the imperial harem. It would definitely not be recorded in the annals of history, and would instead be announced to the public.
Gu Wenxing chatted with Rong'er a little more before retreating.
”Mistress, the Emperor finally sent word to you. Mistress, you have to properly report this to the Emperor.” Xiao Qing unhappily said.
”What nonsense!” Su Ya glared at Xiao Qing, ”The emperor is the emperor after all, and if the emperor made a mistake, it would also be the emperor. Don't tell me you want the emperor to admit that he made a mistake, and Old Master gave you a crooked idea, I think it's better if nothing happens.”
Xiao Qing and Su Ya fought passionately, but Rong'er was not thinking about this right now. In her heart, she was thinking, did the Emperor pass her down to him because of the death of Imperial Concubine Wen? Actually, even until today, she didn't hate the Imperial Concubine Wen at all. In fact, Rong'er had thought about many things in the past few days, whether it was her, the Imperial Concubine Wen, or even Zhang Leqi, they were all the same, and they were all alive because of the Emperor. They didn't even have a life of their own, and when she understood all of this, she suddenly started to treat the Emperor with love and displeasure. Is this a sign of a mature state of mind? Rong'er didn't know. She only knew that she enjoyed being calm and collected like this.
In the Qianqing Palace, Rong'er quietly looked at Xuan Ye who was behind the table. Xuan Ye stood up and slowly walked in front of Rong'er, and gently held onto Rong'er's hand. ”I feel …” Xuan Ye cleared his throat. Actually, he had thought a lot about it after Imperial Concubine Wen passed away. He could be selfish and pamper whoever he wanted, but what about them? Are you sure that they are all flesh and blood, that they are all dedicated to him? Imperial Concubine Rong said that it was wrong and wrong, but in the end it turned out that it was wrong, and they couldn't even get an apology, how could this be fair?
The reason why Xuan Ye called Rong'er to come today was to apologize. It was just that he had not spoken the words of apology for a long time, and suddenly did not know how to start.
”Does the Emperor have something to say?” Rong'er smiled and looked at Xuan Ye.
”Rong'er, I …” I was wrong! I shouldn't have decided your crime without investigating in detail. I … I shouldn't have... I don't trust you! ” Xuan Ye said in embarrassment.
Rong'er laughed softly upon hearing Xuan Ye's apology, ”Your majesty, although chenqie feels that there is nothing you shouldn't have, chenqie has already said that everything Your Majesty does is natural, and chenqie will support and understand anything Your Majesty does, but since Your Majesty has apologized today, then chenqie will accept Your Majesty's kind intentions.” Rong'er's tone was calm. Now that she had made light of the situation, she naturally wouldn't be unwilling to back down on this matter.
