Chapter 243 This is forcing her

The night is getting darker.

The heavy snow fell again, swirling in the cold wind, covering the glazed tiles or slapping against the diamond-shaped windows. The whole palace was covered with white.

It was quiet in Chengming Hall, with only the crackling sound of charcoal fire.

Pei Tingyue lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

She had not anticipated this situation before coming.

She thought the emperor would be afraid and would oppose, but unexpectedly, he was so emotional that he vomited blood and fainted.

Blood…

The glaring red color appeared in front of Pei Tingyue's eyes again. She felt very annoyed and a little helpless.

However, she quickly suppressed this emotion and analyzed the situation calmly.

Now that she had decided to keep the child, she had to think again about how to comfort the emperor. The usual methods would definitely not work, so she had to find another way.

What's the best way...

While he was lost in thought, Liang Yao came in and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor has awakened."

Both of them were startled, looked at each other, and quickly got up and went to bed.

In the inner bedroom.

Xie Chen was half-sitting on the bed, looking very unhappy.

Queen Mother Qin sighed, walked forward, sat on the edge of the couch, and asked gently, "The Emperor has woken up. How does he feel? Is he still feeling unwell? Do you want to summon the judge of Xiayuan to take his pulse again?"

Xie Chen's lips were pale as he spoke hoarsely, "I am fine, mother, don't worry. It's getting dark outside and the dew is heavy. It's my fault that I've had to go there myself."

Queen Mother Qin whispered, "Don't say such things. How can this be the emperor's fault?"

Xie Chen said: "Yes."

"Why are you so angry? If you have anything to say, take your time to resolve it..."

Seeing that he looked tired, Queen Dowager Qin didn't say much. She said a few words to him about taking care of his health and then left Chengming Palace.

Before leaving, she stopped in front of Pei Tingyue and whispered, "Your Highness, please have a heart-to-heart talk with the Emperor."

Pei Tingyue nodded slightly, "Yes."

After sending the palace maids away, Pei Tingyue walked over.

As soon as she moved, Xie Chen on the couch reacted. He lay down and turned over with his back to her, obviously not wanting to communicate.

Pei Tingyue: “…”

She froze in place.

This was the first time the emperor was so cold to her.

This made her uncomfortable.

Pei Tingyue clenched his palms, walked to the bed, and called softly, "Your Majesty."

The person on the couch didn't respond.

Pei Tingyue bit her teeth lightly and reached out to pull the quilt down, "Your Majesty."

This time the man responded, but in an extremely cold tone, saying in a cold voice, "What do you want me to do?"

Pei Tingyue whispered, "I would like to discuss with the emperor the matter of the unborn child."

"Discuss?" Xie Chen turned around abruptly, his eyes red as he asked, "What's there to discuss? I begged you so much, but you refused. Now you're saying it in a nice way. Discuss? You just want my consent! In that case, what's there to discuss? Leave now."

Pei Tingyue moved her lips, wanting to explain.

In the end, nothing was said.

Because what he said was true.

Xie Chen repeated: "You go."

Pei Tingyue walked away holding back her tears.

This man was still very emotional, and it was useless for her to persuade him. It would be bad if he vomited blood again.

It would be better to wait for both of them to calm down for a while before discussing it properly.

Xie Chen looked at her leaving back.

Laugh at yourself.

The gap in my heart is getting bigger and bigger.

The pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.

He won't give up. Since begging her doesn't work, he'll try something more ruthless.

Xie Chen lay in bed for a day and then got up.

He was only wearing his pajamas and was busy in the hall for a while, finding a lot of things.

There were mostly sachets and purses, as well as a set of casual clothes, a set of pajamas, and the tourmaline jade pendant and the Chuntang picture.

Xie Chen looked at these things for a long time.

He picked up the silver-white sachet, and his mind suddenly flooded with the image of her delicately fiddling with the sachet at his waist that night when she had just made it.

The casual clothes were given to him on his birthday that year, and the pajamas were given to him on his birthday last year. Even though she was so busy handling palace affairs, she still took the time to give him the pajamas.

That tourmaline jade pendant and her pink tourmaline gilded hibiscus hairpin were a pair. In the past two years, they had become more and more in sync with each other, and they would always bring them to the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Palace banquets.

There was also a painting of crabapples, which depicted the couple embracing and admiring the blossoms in the rear hall of Changle Palace when Xiao Si was four years old. Ever since it was completed, it had been hung in the inner chambers, and he would look at it every day.

These things record all the little things between the two of them and witness all the sweetness.

Xie Chen's heart was bleeding as he ordered Liang Yao, "Send all these to Chengning Palace and tell Concubine Chen that since she is like this, I will also be more decisive."

When mentioning Chengning Palace, he felt even more ironic.

He named this palace Chengning in the hope that she would bring peace to the world, but now, she has abandoned him and insisted on taking the risk.

Everything he did at the time seemed like a joke.

Liang Yao looked at these things in amazement: "Weren't these things given to the Emperor by Concubine Chen? Is the Emperor really willing to send them back?"

Xie Chen glanced at him coldly, "I don't want it anymore, can't I send it back?"

Liang Yao advised him, "Oh, Your Majesty, if you really send it back, the Imperial Concubine will probably be sad. Otherwise, please think about it carefully."

Xie Chen sneered: "I only know that if you continue talking, your tongue will be gone."

Liang Yao stopped talking and walked away with a bitter face.

He grumbled inwardly, "Being the Imperial Household Manager is such a daunting job. It's not right to advise, and it's not right not to advise either. It's so difficult being caught in the middle!"

Liang Yao sighed, hoping that the emperor and his concubine could reconcile, so that his life would be easier.

When he arrived at Chengning Palace, Pei Tingyue and Xiao Si were having dinner.

Seeing these things, Pei Tingyue dropped his silver chopsticks in a daze.

Xiao Si asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Yao also called out, "Royal Concubine?"

Pei Tingyue came back to her senses. In front of Xiao Si, she didn't reveal anything. She made an excuse and hurried to the warm room.

She stroked these things one by one and said softly, "These were all given to the Emperor by me, and he actually gave them back. Doesn't he want them anymore?"

Liang Yao sighed, "The Emperor and the Empress had a quarrel earlier, and now the Emperor is furious. He did this out of anger. After thinking it over in a couple of days, he will definitely regret it."

Pei Tingyue shook her head, "You don't understand what he means."

This is forcing her.

It means that she must choose one.

Pei Tingyue smiled bitterly in her heart. The emperor was really cruel in not wanting this child.

But Pei Tingyue was not afraid at all.

The more cruel he is and the more he forces her, the more he fears she will be in danger.

But she really didn't like this method.

After they make up, she will definitely teach him a lesson.

The first is that these things can be sent back, but it is not so easy to get them back.

She needs to think about the rest slowly.
