Mo Hua couldn't tolerate Gu Rongzhi after all, could he?
Was it because of him?
Gu Rongzhi relaxed her brows, and patted her delicate hand that was grabbing onto her own sleeve, consoling her, ”No, it's not exile. I'm just going northwest. ”
Gu Rongzhi smiled and said, ”Mn, northwest.”
Suddenly, his smile faded as Gu Rongzhi's gaze focused deeply on Ye Qiongjiang's face. He said with a slightly apologetic voice, ”I was willing to hibernate for five years just to wait for such a chance. It's just that I'm sorry. ”
In the entire plan, Ye Qiongjiang was an indispensable factor to successfully create such an opportunity. He needed such a woman to create waves in the emperor's heart.
But... to put her in such an awkward and dangerous situation...
Only, I'm sorry.
”You don't understand? I am Ye Qiongjiang, I am your wife, I want to become your strongest support. ”
Although he didn't say why he had let her down, she knew in her heart that the candidates for this position must be loyal, reliable, and unwavering. No one was more suitable for this position than her.
”You just go to the northwest and take back what belongs to you. When I am in the palace, I will never let Mo Hua get even slightly close to me. ” He vowed to defend his innocence.
”Qiongjiang.” The man's expression hardened as he gently held her soft hand. With a deep look in his eyes, he said, ”You must live well and wait for me. Don't die so easily, even if … No matter what happens, I will never despise you, much less give you up. ”
It was another long hug, the two hearts tightly touching.
Only in this way would they be able to fully express their feelings for each other.
During dinner time, Ye Qiongjiang did not leave. This was the first time they enjoyed a full meal without being disturbed by anyone.
”Are you full?” Gu Rongzhi's smile was very dazzling, as she casually wiped away a grain of rice from the corner of her lips, causing Ye Qiongjiang to blush.
”Yes.” Her answer was as soft as the sound of a mosquito, barely audible.
Gu Rongzhi stood up and held Ye Qiongjiang's hand, ”Tonight's moonlight is perfect, let's go walk around the imperial garden, there's nothing interesting about the flowers under the moonlight.”
”Well, I, I haven't been there yet.” Ye Qiongjiang looked forward to it.
It didn't really matter where she was going. She just wanted to be with him more.
From then on, every day, every day, Ye Qiongjiang would come to the Phoenix Cry Palace to meet with Gu Rongzhi, as if she had endless words to say. Every day.
Yun Qing really couldn't understand. Was the matter of the phoenix egg really that attractive? Better than being with the Emperor?
However, after she gained a deeper understanding of the Imperial Consort Qiong, she finally understood that the Imperial Consort Qiong was out of favor, and stopped thinking about trying to curry favor with her.
Although her life was not well with the empress, it was clearly much better than being a concubine who had lost her favour.
It seems that the root cause of Imperial Consort Qiong's loss of favor was probably because she likes women …
Only Gu Rongzhi and Ye Qiongjiang knew that the reason they were staying together for as long as possible, was because they wanted to leave behind more beautiful memories for the long term to think about. Otherwise, after such a long separation, this love would be too bitter.
”Your Majesty …” Qing An bowed respectfully and stood by the side of the emperor with a bitter expression.
Mo Hua sat on the dragon throne, holding the imperial report, he ordered, ”Continue.”
Qing An had no choice but to reply, ”Lady Qiong, these past few days …” He hesitated slightly, ”Every day, I will go to Phoenix Cry Palace, but every night, I will go back to Jade Dew Hall to sleep, and I won't stay out the night.”
”Hmph, you don't need to emphasize this,” looking at his bitter face, Mo Hua felt extremely angry! If they want to do something, they don't have to wait for any night, they have a whole day, and they can do whatever they want! ”
”The Emperor is right.” Qing An was terrified.
”What is it?!” Mo Hua was angrier.
”Your majesty isn't saying that.” The emperor who was so angry, no matter what he said, was wrong.
Mo Hua knew that he was pretending to be stupid and wanted to punish him, but he felt bored, and he could not take her anger anymore. ”Forget it, leave. Let us be quiet.”
However, Qing An retreated, and when he reached the door, he stopped and respectfully said, ”In five days time, it will be A Yin Sun. ”Your Majesty, look …”
