The Royal Highness - C32

If you take her with you

She carefully helped the empress up, and when she looked down, she saw the jade bone fan that the emperor had always been holding on to on the floor under the light of the lantern. This fan had been used to lift up her chin several times. The cold feeling of it made her feel extremely disgusted. Presumably, it was left behind by the Emperor.

Yan’er bent down and picked up the fan. Its entire body was made of black jade, and its tentacles were cold. It was even heavier than before. No wonder the emperor seemed to have some dignity when he held it in his hand.

“Your majesty?” Shen Zhe’s expression was solemn, he thought that something was amiss in the imperial government.

Xiang Ye raised his hand, signaling all the people of the palace to retreat, and to retreat far away, to not leave a single one alive.

Seeing this, Shen Zhe frowned, he was calculating what his cousin had mentioned today, and suddenly heard a question from his cousin: “Zhe’er, have you seen the Empress?” His heart skipped a beat. What did the Emperor mean by this?

Xiang Ye walked in front of him and looked at his brother: “You know Qiu Miner?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Shen Zhe’s first reaction was to frankly admit it. He was not sure where the Emperor had learned of it, which meant that lying was not good for him. His cousin was an emperor, and he always had to remember that.

“Back then, when this subject led my troops through the Yuanzhou, I had a chance to meet the Empress once. But at that time, this subject didn’t know that the Empress was the daughter of the Prime Minister, and didn’t even know her surname.” Shen Zhe lowered his head and said, “When I saw the Empress today at the Longevity Palace, I realized that she was a person I met before.”

Xiang Ye turned his back and asked, “Then what about the empress? Does she know that you are General Shen Zhe?”

Shen Zhe said, “At that time, this subject did not reveal my identity in the Yuanzhou, and kept the Commander Flag emblem during the march. I only wanted to get to the capital and meet up with the Emperor successfully, so I did not cause any trouble along the way.

“You spoke?”

“Yes.” Shen Zhe told the emperor everything about the distribution of the bun. Originally, there was nothing between him and the empress at all.

The emperor turned around, sighing over such a simple matter, something that was easily forgotten by others. It made Shen Zhe remember it so clearly, and even smile at him.

The empress’s laughter and tears tonight were all for this man. Was she really thinking about her grandmother?

“All these years, you didn’t want to take a wife, and the empress dowager chose a wife for you, was it because you had that girl in your heart, and that Qiu Miner?” The emperor went straight to the point and made everything clear.

“Your majesty!” Shen Zhe kneeled down, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he was unable to say anything. He could never hide anything from his brother.

“Yes?” Or is it? ” The emperor asked in a more straightforward manner. His voice was not loud, but each word was filled with weight, making it hard for people to breathe.

“Yes sir!” That day, when he watched his cousin rule the world, he had thought that their brothers would one day stand against one another for a certain matter. He never thought that they would come so quickly, and never thought that they would come for a woman.

“Get up.” Xiang Ye said coldly.

Shen Zhe slightly hesitated, but still stood up.

Xiang Ye looked straight at his brother, and asked him clearly: “How much does she weigh in your heart? If We let you take her away, would you be willing?”

Shen Zhe was shocked, but was unable to say a word.

However, the Emperor walked away. He walked to the window of the Moon Glow that was cool and refreshing, and his cold aura slightly dissipated. He said slowly, “Why didn’t you go and look for her during these past three years? Is it because of the imperial government, or is it because of me? ”

He understood his own little brother too well, and Shen Zhe was one of the few people who had seen all of his sadness in the past. Ruo Yao’s death had dealt a huge blow to Xiang Ye.

He didn’t want to marry his wife into a family. Now that he knew that Qiu Miner was one of the reasons, the other was that his brother didn’t want to enjoy happiness on his own.

Although Xiang Ye never wished for any other woman to replace Ruo Yao, his younger brother had always wished for a woman to replace Ruo Yao and enrich his future life.
