“Your Majesty, should there be a next life, this concubine wishes to never have met you, and to never see each other for all eternity.”
Yu Jingchen hated her, yet the last thing she did i...
Xinglai got excited when he heard this. See? He was determined to do something stupid and there was no stopping him. Now he's really going to die.
"Yes," Xinglai immediately agreed, and then had Su Qianyan dragged away. Su Qianyan did not expect this outcome and was still shouting, which annoyed Yu Jingchen.
"If he can't control his mouth, then have someone slap him. Su Baolin has disturbed the Emperor's presence; slap him twenty times as punishment!" Yu Jingchen ordered.
Oh dear, serves him right. Looking at Su Baolin with pity, his face is probably ruined; it won't recover for at least his time at the palace. This is only the first day of the spring hunt, and he's already been punished. Su Baolin's days ahead are likely to be difficult.
Moreover, slapping someone in the face would injure him, so he shouldn't expect to appear in front of these people again during the Spring Hunt.
Su Qianyan was pulled away, and her ears were finally at peace. Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun sleeping in his arms and felt a warmth in his heart. This little girl is just a little girl, so carefree.
Su Qianyan… He did indeed remember her. In his previous life, after Nan Zhiyun left, he happened to see Su Qianyan dressed in red. That figure reminded him of Nan Zhiyun when she first entered the palace, so he made her a Consort Shu.
He himself couldn't understand why he did that, and later, he would visit her in his spare time. He had people bestow upon him a lot of red fabric, so that Su Qianyan could only wear red in front of him.
But... he felt that the feeling from that first glance was gone. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was causing his disappointment, but he always felt like something was missing in his heart.
After Nan Zhiyun left, he would inexplicably think of her and the everyday moments he shared with her. He never touched anyone in the harem again, including Su Qianyan…
Later, he heard that Nan Su had adopted a child before his death, thinking that even after he was gone, someone would still remember Nan Zhiyun. But unfortunately, Nan Su also passed away early, leaving behind such a child.
Yu Jingchen couldn't understand his own mentality, which led him to have the child taken back to the palace and then... have Su Qianyan take care of him.
But what he didn't expect was that in their subsequent interactions, he always saw Nan Zhiyun's shadow in that child, which made him feel closer to her. In the end... on his deathbed, he gave his position to her as well.
As for Su Qianyan... he actually resisted it in his heart. In that life, he did not establish an empress, and no matter who it was, he always felt that he was not worthy of that position.
Now, thinking about it... Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun, perhaps he had strange emotions after Nan Zhiyun left in his previous life.
"I'm starting to lose sight of myself," Yu Jingchen said to the sleeping Nan Zhiyun.
That evening, the caravan arrived at the imperial palace. Yu Jingchen saw that Nan Zhiyun was still asleep and couldn't bear to wake her. In the end, he carried her off the carriage.
Everyone was watching, but it no longer seemed strange, since everyone had seen His Majesty carrying Consort Shu to a banquet last time.
"From now on, Consort Shu will live with me. There is no need to arrange any other palaces," Yu Jingchen instructed.
"Yes" was expected, and he was not too surprised. He would have been surprised if they had lived separately.
Having said that, Yu Jingchen carried Nan Zhiyun back to his palace. The palace had already been taken care of, as it was Yu Jingchen's residence and no one dared to be careless.
