Chapter 150 Don’t Be Afraid of Me

After hearing this, Concubine Xie was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he uttered, "What?"

Xie Chen stood up and looked down at her. "I'll give you one night to say goodbye to Yuchuan. This is to repay our past kindness and respect."

Concubine Xie fell to the ground.

She considered grounding herself.

She considered demoting herself.

Even the thought of being sent to the cold palace had crossed my mind.

But she never expected this to be the ending!

At this moment, Concubine Xie was really scared.

A few tears fell as she shook her head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this! I have served you for years and gave birth to your prince. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. For all this, please forgive me this time!"

Xie Chen's eyes were filled with indifference.

"Then when you hurt others, why don't you think about how innocent they are?"

"Pei Zhaoyi was innocent, but she was injured because of you. Lin Zhaorong was innocent, but she lost her life because of you. Yu Qi was even more innocent, because you exploited him, he lost his mother!"

"How dare you beg for my forgiveness now?"

After saying that, Xie Chen didn't listen to her pleas for mercy and took Pei Tingyue out of Fenghe Palace.

Concubine Xie looked at Empress Cui sitting on the main seat, and a little hope rose in her heart. She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Empress, please plead for me!"

After a while, a pool of blood gathered on the black lotus-patterned floor tiles.

Queen Cui closed her eyes.

"Xianfei, you should take responsibility for your own mistakes and don't involve the child. For Yuchuan's sake, I will tell everyone that you died of a heart disease."

These words made Concubine Xie's eyes widen.

She didn't beg for mercy anymore.

Instead, he laughed and cried.

After many twists and turns, the pain she brought to Lin Zhaorong that day finally came back to her.

yes.

Her Yuchuan has such a bright future, how could he have a sinful mother like her?

The road ahead of her, where was there any confinement or demotion? Where was there any living in the cold palace?

She has only one path.

That was just to say goodbye to her son and go on her way quietly.

In a trance, Concubine Xie suddenly remembered the oath she made in front of Lin Zhaorong that day.

At that time, she said that if she had done this, she would die a miserable death.

Now it has really come true.

And it came so quickly.

Concubine Xie was crying and laughing, and she looked a little crazy.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Hahaha."

"Retribution—"

"Retribution—"

Empress Cui sighed deeply, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place?"

Concubine Xie didn't respond to her, but wiped her tears and begged her again, "Your Majesty, please agree to one thing for me."

The Queen sighed, "Are you trying to tell me about Yuchuan's fate?"

Concubine Xie smiled sadly: "Yuchuan is not only my child, but also the Emperor's child. The Empress loves him very much. I know that the Emperor and the Empress will find a good home for him. What I want is another thing."

Queen Cui was silent for a long time. "Tell me."

Concubine Xie cried, "Please secretly look after Yuchuan and don't let him be harmed by Concubine Pei."

Empress Cui narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did Consort Pei harm Yuchuan?"

Concubine Xie said anxiously, "With Pei Zhaoyi's scheming, she will not let Yuchuan go if she finds out that I was the one who harmed her. If she gives birth to a prince, then Yuchuan will definitely be harmed by her. I beg the Empress to protect Yuchuan for the sake of his mother's death."

Queen Cui wanted to say that she wouldn't.

But after seeing the stubbornness in Concubine Xie's eyes, he stopped talking.

Even if Pei Zhaoyi said that she wouldn't do it, Concubine Xian wouldn't believe it.

Why waste your breath?

"I promise you."

Concubine Xie kowtowed to her, ignoring the wound on her forehead, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Empress Cui rubbed her brows and whispered, "Go back to the palace."

Concubine Xie got up from the ground in a very embarrassed manner and limped out of Fenghe Palace.

It was her last night. She did not walk slowly through the palace to recall the past, nor did she regret the mistakes she had made. She just hurried back to the palace.

The second prince is still sleeping soundly.

Concubine Xie picked him up with tears in her eyes, rocked him slowly in her arms, and sang a ballad.

at the same time.

Xie Chen took Pei Tingyue back to Chengming Palace.

Looking at the quiet and silent woman, Xie Chen frowned imperceptibly.

After the two of them took a bath, Xie Chen applied medicine to her in the warm room. This time, the woman surprisingly did not make a fuss. She stayed there obediently and did not cry out in pain or itchiness.

Xie Chen's eyes became even darker.

After applying the medicine, he held her in his arms, firmly grasped her chin, and forced her to look at him, "Why don't you speak?"

Pei Tingyue blinked.

What does she have to say?

After losing a high-ranking concubine, who knows how many troubles will arise. She thought he must be in a bad mood and that saying those useless words would only annoy him, so she didn't say anything.

Now it seems that he is indeed upset.

Everyone started to feel strange that she didn't speak.

Pei Tingyue hadn't figured out how to start the conversation yet.

The aura around this person became even colder, and the hand that was pinching her chin tightened a little.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Do you think I'm heartless?"

Pei Tingyue: “…”

Okay.

It seems that they are not on the same wavelength.

She was afraid that the emperor would be in a bad mood.

The emperor thought she didn't speak because she was afraid.

but…

She could continue what the emperor said and take the initiative.

Pei Tingyue looked up timidly: "A little bit."

Xie Chen's eyes were filled with intense emotion, and his tone was stronger than ever before, "You are not allowed to be afraid of me, not even a little bit!"

Pei Tingyue was pinched on the face by him. She struggled to escape but failed. She could only pat his wrist and said, "It hurts..."

Xie Chen let her go as if waking from a dream.

"It's my fault, it's just my fault..."

Pei Tingyue interrupted him: "Would the emperor treat Tingyue like that?"

Xie Chen looked at her for a moment and asked, "Do you think I'm willing to give it up?"

Pei Tingyue replied: "Then I am not afraid anymore!"

Xie Chen hugged her and whispered, "Anyone can be afraid of me, but you can't."

His Tingyue must always like him like this. Don't be afraid of him, don't be scared of him, and don't stay away from him.

"Okay." Pei Tingyue agreed, and then asked the question that had been weighing on her heart, "What if one day I do something unforgivable? How will the emperor punish me?"

Xie Chen repeated in confusion, "Unforgivable wrongdoing?"

Pei Tingyue nodded, "Well... it's like I've fallen in love with someone else..."

She just wanted to know what would happen if the emperor knew one day that she didn't like him at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Tingyue felt a chill beside him.

She looked up and saw that the emperor's eyes had become unusually dark.

Pei Tingyue wanted to run away but was held tightly in someone's arms.

Xie Chen gritted his teeth, "Pei Tingyue, you are so bold!"
