Chapter 95 What Do You Want Me to Do?
Weiyang Palace is only a cup of tea away from Chengming Palace.
Seeing Liu Yuetang coming, Zhou Defu was respectful as always and stepped forward to greet her: "Your servant greets the young lady, the Concubine."
Liu Yuetang said politely, "Eunuch Zhou, please don't be so polite."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Zhou, is the Emperor free to see me right now?"
Zhou Defu sighed and said, "My lady, the emperor hasn't seen anyone lately. You should go back."
Liu Yuetang lowered her eyes slightly, a worried look on her face: "The six palaces all said that it was me who angered the emperor and made him unhappy."
"Eunuch, you have been with the Emperor for many years. Could you please tell me something so that I can know how to appease the Emperor?"
"This..." Zhou Defu hesitated slightly.
He actually wanted to give this imperial concubine some face.
Having been with the emperor for many years, he probably knows about 70% of who the emperor is interested in at the moment and who the emperor likes in his momentary interest.
But this matter is the emperor's weak spot, and even Concubine Zhao cannot touch it.
He couldn't tell the truth even more.
Besides, he didn't know the whole story.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Defu whispered, "My dear, although this matter was caused by you, you are not to blame."
"There are some things I cannot say. My young master, you are greatly honored and favored. Please do not anger the emperor again at this time. You should wait until the emperor calms down before coming back."
But Liu Yuetang couldn't wait.
Xiao Heng treated her coldly for a whole half month.
If she doesn't resolve the conflict in time, all her efforts will be in vain.
Even if they are an ordinary loving couple, if they allow conflicts and coldness to develop, they will only push each other further and further away and eventually drift apart.
There are so many beauties in the harem that there are many who can replace him.
So, she couldn't afford to wait, nor could she afford to take the risk.
So, Liu Yuetang knelt down on the cold stone bricks with a plop.
Zhou Defu was shocked: "My lady...you...what are you doing?"
Liu Yuetang faced the palace and said, "As Eunuch Zhou said, the emperor has treated me well. I have made a mistake, so I must come here to apologize."
So, she leaned forward and said each word earnestly: "I, your concubine Liu, have come to apologize for my crime."
"I do not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness, I only ask Your Majesty to calm down and take care of your health."
Xiao Heng was marking papers, and when he heard Liu Yuetang's voice, the soft and moist tip of his pen paused noticeably.
He looked up at Bu Zian who was standing at the door: "What's going on?"
Bu Zian stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, it is Concubine Xi who is kneeling outside to apologize."
Xiao Heng snorted coldly: "Apology?"
He lowered his eyes, his expression darkening slightly: "She really thinks she has such great power that she can control my mood."
"If she likes to kneel, then let her kneel."
After saying this, he continued to review the memorials without changing his expression.
Outside, Liu Yuetang's hands had already turned red from the cold, but she still knelt motionlessly in front of the hall.
As long as Xiao Heng didn't order anyone to take him away, it proved that he didn't completely despise him.
She just wanted to test how much weight she had in Xiao Heng's heart.
Can you change his hard heart into a soft one?
The cold wind came in through the window, and the rice paper on the table was blown into the air.
Xiao Heng looked out the window. The lanterns in the corridor were swaying in the wind, and the tassels under the lanterns were shivering as if they couldn't stand the cold.
After staring for a moment, Xiao Heng asked, "Jieyu Xi, is your injury healed?"
Bu Zian hesitated and said, "This...I don't know either."
He quickly took a look at Xiao Heng's expression and said, "But I don't think this knife wound will heal so quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Heng put the brush heavily on the table.
With a thud, he said angrily, "Stupid!"
Bu Zian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."
Xiao Heng closed his eyes slightly.
Now the wind was blowing outside, but she was kneeling outside to apologize.
Is she using her body to threaten me?
His Adam's apple rolled as he said in a deep voice, "What on earth does she want to do?"
After saying this, Xiao Heng stood up uncontrollably and walked outside.
In the corridor, a woman was wearing a Xiangfei-colored long dress that spread across the ground. The hair on the collar of her brocade dress gently brushed against her cheek, making her look soft and fragile.
The moment she saw herself, her eyes lit up and filled with tears.
Xiao Heng suppressed the restlessness in his heart and walked towards her calmly step by step.
Liu Yuetang raised her little face, her dark eyebrows seemed to be frowning.
She said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything, all the words were in her eyes sparkling with tears.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Heng only said lightly: "Go back to the palace, I don't blame you."
After saying this, his expression returned to its usual cold and distant expression and he turned and left.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, his sleeve felt tight. He turned his head and saw that his sleeve was held by the woman's hand.
Then, she said timidly with tears in her eyes, "But, I miss the emperor."
Her voice was so soft that it almost touched Xiao Heng's heart.
The words "I miss the emperor" made Xiao Heng unable to harden his heart any longer.
He turned around and suddenly picked her up, carrying her sideways, and walked straight into the hall.
Liu Yuetang put her arms around his neck and smiled with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Heng held her and placed her on the chair, looking at her deeply with a complicated look in his eyes.
Liu Yuetang's lips moved slightly, and she heard Xiao Heng finally speak.
"Liu Yuetang, what do you want me to do?"
He locked up all his shortcomings, his past, and his weaknesses in a hidden corner, and he didn't allow anyone to touch it.
In this way, he would still be a cold, resolute and steady emperor who ruled the world.
Rather than a fragile and schizophrenic emperor.
So, he never mentioned the past.
In recent years, he has rarely been ill and has never mentioned those past events.
Even to Concubine Zhao, she didn't dare to mention anything.
However, that time, he seemed to be possessed and told Liu Yuetang why he had a scar on his leg.
He even nearly fell ill in front of her.
So he immediately fled from Jinxiu Pavilion.
He doesn't allow others to see through him.
Similarly, his emotions can only be controlled by himself.
He was fed up with himself when he was out of control and having an attack.
So, he didn't want to see anyone during this period.
Whenever he was sick, it took him a long time to recover.
But he couldn't bear to be cruel to the woman in front of him.
After all, she is just a woman who loves herself deeply, and she doesn't understand everything she has experienced.
Liu Yuetang's lips trembled as she threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, I was wrong. If you are angry, please punish me, or even give me a beating. As long as you can calm me down, I will be willing to do anything. I only ask Your Majesty not to get angry again and hurt your body."
When Xiao Heng heard this, he was deeply moved but also found it funny.
Which concubine admitted her mistake by holding someone in her arms?
There was a hint of naivety in her sincerity, which made him raise his lips unconsciously.
"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
