The Royal Highness - C42
Xiang Ye said angrily: “If you had not been so reckless, would the empress dowager have fainted from anger?”
“If the emperor didn’t want to send her concubine away, why would her concubine have to be so blunt?”
The Emperor seemed to have caught hold of her weakness as he sneered. “Qiu Family’s daughter?”
Her Majesty sighed and leaned weakly against the pillow. “My life has been smooth and carefree, even though my husband left early and loved me when I was alive and there was nothing in the family that I had to worry about after he died. My daughter-in-law was able to help me and all the good things fell to me. It was only until after Ruo Yao’s sudden illness that I started to worry that my problems would happen too late. As expected, not long after that, Ye’er went to war. For seven years I was frightened, and even for three years I was not as happy as I used to be. “Pride is pride. Anyone who has such a son would be proud, but I’m worried about his life in the future. I don’t even have a caring woman by my side.”
“Yes, chenqie believes you.” Yu’er smiled helplessly as she came up with an idea. She said, “Muhou, chenqie has a few matters that I would like to request of you.”
The empress dowager hastened to say, “Just tell me what it is.”
She then got up and knelt down in front of the empress dowager. The empress dowager’s heart ached as she said, “Get up and tell me. What’s so special about it?”
If chenqie follows the General Shen, she would be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life and live a life of wealth and safety. That would be the life everyone yearned for, but the price chenqie had to pay was that she would no longer be able to live a life of fairness. Even if she were to appear in front of others one day, no one would be able to recognize her as the empress back then.
“Even if the emperor’s plans are preposterous and the emperor’s orders are difficult to disobey, chenqie’s return would be disrespecting the imperial edict. Originally, this is a death sentence for deceiving the emperor, but chenqie has come back with the intent to die. Even if she dies, she must die in an honorable manner. I don’t know of a day when I will say something that cannot be reversed, and will risk my life to defend my dignity. If there comes a day when I, Esteemed Empress Dowager, do hope that you can send someone to take care of my grandmother and mother, and not ask for honor or fortune, but only ask that they not be bullied by anyone. ”
When the empress dowager heard this, her eyes filled with tears and she sighed, “Ignore him. Just ignore him like before. Don’t bicker with him.”
“Your concubine gives way to an inch, and the Emperor only takes one inch. I don’t want to give in anymore.”
