Chapter 288 The Imperial Concubine Resolutely Leaves the Palace, Fulfilling the Love Between the Empress and the Emperor

Zhao Bailu snorted, then said in a muffled voice, "Actually, that's not what I meant. I just feel that this kid doesn't keep his promises at all. It's not that I don't want this child, I'm just scared!"

"Rouge, what should I do now?" Zhao Bailu wasn't indifferent to Gu Hanyue, but she was young and had just gotten married, so she didn't know how to get along with her husband. She was a pitiful child.

Seeing Zhao Bailu's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly, then smiled gently and said softly, "Actually, you don't need to do anything. Just tell him that you want this child, like this child, and want to give birth to this child. However, even if you were a little impulsive, you shouldn't go back at this time. He should come to pick you up."

"He's so arrogant and has such a bad temper, why would he come to pick me up?"

"I think waiting is pointless!"

Zhao Bailu sat there, resting her chin on her hand, looking rather sullen.

Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Huan'er smiled slightly and said, "I'm relieved to see that you're still the same as before. Alright, stop saying those nonsense things. Everything will be alright. The most important thing now is to give birth to this child."

"Sister, what are your plans for the future?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Liu Huan'er with some concern, then said, "You're still young, do you want to stay cooped up at home your whole life?"

"I've decided to leave the capital. I'm going to do business in Jiangnan." Liu Huan'er looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile. "I came to see you today to say goodbye. I know you've always felt guilty towards me regarding the Emperor. I came here today to tell you that you owe me nothing. In other words, you've made my decision."

To grant a wish?

Meng Yanzhi looked at Liu Huan'er with some disbelief.

"Sister, are you saying these things to put my mind at ease?"

Liu Huan'er smiled gently at Meng Yanzhi's pitiful appearance, walked over, took her hand, and then said with a smile, "I'm telling you the truth. If it weren't for you, I might really have been a concubine in the harem for the rest of my life, and I would never have found someone who truly cared for me until I grew old. His Majesty is very good to me and dotes on me, but he doesn't love me, not at all!"

"I've seen how he loved you, so I know all too well that he doesn't love me at all."

Hearing this, Meng Yanzhi felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes reddened: "I'm sorry."

"Silly child, whether you are here or not, my life is the same. With you, I am free. Do you know how happy and content I am right now?"

Liu Huan'er took off the hairpin from her hair and handed it to Meng Yanzhi.

“This is a gift my mother gave me when I came of age. I’ve kept it with me all these years. Now I consider you my own sister, so I’m giving this to you.”

"Rouge, His Majesty loves you. You two are of one mind. This is a good thing, and it's a rare thing. I only hope that you two can be happy. Someone has to be happy, don't you think?"

Liu Huan'er gently hugged Meng Yanzhi, patted her back, then got up and strode outside.

Watching Liu Huan'er's retreating figure, Meng Yanzhi was already sobbing uncontrollably, crying very sadly.

"Why are you crying?"

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with some confusion, then said sullenly, "Auntie just went to live the life she liked. Shouldn't we be happy for her?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi managed to hold back her tears.

She raised an eyebrow, looked at Zhao Bailu, then took her hand and asked, "And you, what kind of life do you like? What kind of life do you want to live in the future?"

"Actually, I don't know either."

Zhao Bailu casually lay down on the chaise longue, gazing longingly at Meng Yanzhi.

"I used to think I liked a free and easy life, but I don't know why, now that I'm married to Gu Hanyue, I feel that it's quite nice to live a peaceful and stable life like this."

"You have no idea how good the Gu family is to me. They really love me. They will give me anything I like, and they will never touch anything I hate. I never thought I would be so lucky to meet such a wonderful family."

As Zhao Bailu spoke, her face turned red, clearly showing some regret. She shouldn't have said those things to Gu Hanyue at all, and she didn't know if it was too late to regret it now.

Family-oriented.

Seeing Gu Hanyue return in a huff, Gu Hanqing curiously approached her and asked, "Didn't you two leave together? What happened to you? Why did you come back alone?"

"Sister! I..."

Gu Hanyue was already angry, but now that she saw Gu Hanqing, she felt wronged.

He walked over, pulled Gu Hanqing into the room quietly, plopped down on a chair, and looked as aggrieved as a child.

"Sister, Zhao Bailu is pregnant, but she doesn't want our child at all. She says she doesn't want a child."

"Does she hate me, dislike me, and that's why she doesn't want our child?"

"I thought that her agreeing to marry me meant that she had feelings for me."

Gu Hanyue became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears fell down her cheeks.

this……

Seeing Gu Hanyue like this, Gu Hanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said, "I've never seen you cry much in my life, but I never expected you to cry over Zhao Bailu?"

"Yes, I cried, I felt sad, I was unhappy!"

"Sister, what should I do? What should I do now?"

“We had a fight, she stayed in the Queen’s palace, and I came straight back.”

Gu Hanyue lowered her eyes, looking utterly aggrieved.

Seeing his expression, Gu Hanqing thought for a moment and then asked, "I'm asking you, if you didn't have a child, would you still like Zhao Bailu? Hmm?"

“Of course, whether she has children or not, she is still my wife, the person I love!” Gu Hanyue replied without hesitation, almost subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanqing simply shrugged and said calmly, "Then what are you worrying about? Whether or not you have the child is a minor matter. What's important is that the two of you stay together, isn't it?"

Gu Hanyue was initially very aggrieved, but after hearing these words, she suddenly felt enlightened.

He immediately nodded, got up, and strode outside.

"You brat, don't be so hasty if you're so capable!"
