Chapter 102 Do I have to die for you to say I love you?
He Yanchen felt that Yueli had been crying too often recently. She was not such a crybaby in the past.
What if I cry while holding him every day and his eyes get damaged?
He sat on the edge of the bed, gently pinching her chin with one hand to lift the girl's face up, and wiping her face with a handkerchief with the other hand: "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Yueli sniffed and hummed in a muffled voice.
"What happened to Jiaojiao recently? Why do you always have nightmares?" He frowned slightly. She had nightmares over and over again, and she kept crying when she woke up. Could it be that some unclean thing was haunting her?
He Yanchen sent for the imperial physician: "Let the imperial physician take a look at you first. If it doesn't help, I'll find another way."
As he said this, he touched the woman's forehead again. She no longer had a fever, but her body was still a little hot, indicating that her illness had not yet fully recovered.
"I'm fine..." Yueli had cried enough and woke up.
Although both of them died in their previous life, at least He Yanchen is still alive and well now, and the virtuous king is also dead. No one will threaten his kingdom in the future, and they can live a happy life together.
"You say it's okay?" He Yanchen rubbed her red and swollen eyes. Her eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, and she still said it was okay?
"Can you tell me this time what nightmare you had?"
Yueli thought for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, do you believe in ghosts?"
He Yanchen frowned, he didn't believe it.
But when he met Yue Li's eyes, he said something ambiguous: "This kind of thing, if you believe it, it exists, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. Jiaojiao, what ghost did you dream about? Tell me and I will explain it to you."
Yueli wouldn't be fooled, she didn't say anything.
Rebirth is too mysterious. She doesn't know why she can be reborn. Since she can be reborn, why doesn't He Yanchen have any memory of her previous life?
If he had the memories of his previous life, he would definitely love me more.
Yue Li got stuck in a dead end as she thought about it, her emotions fluctuating, which made He Yanchen more and more worried.
He placed the back of his hand against the woman's forehead, genuinely worried that her brain would be damaged.
"Your Majesty, if I die, will you help me take revenge?" Yue Li suddenly asked him.
He Yanchen's face darkened and he slapped her on the butt:
"I've told you several times not to talk nonsense, but you seem to be taking my words less and less to heart."
Yueli didn't know why he always liked to spank her. She lay on his chest and whimpered, "But I just want to know. It's written in the book that when love is deep, it means being together through life and death. If Your Majesty dies, I will definitely follow Your Majesty."
The more He Yanchen listened, the more he wanted to spank her: "If you say one more word, I will have to teach you a lesson."
Yue Li curled up in his arms and pouted: "I knew it, Your Majesty doesn't like me that much..."
"Do I have to die for you to say I love you?" He Yanchen was really curious about what kind of dream she had. She was so sad when she woke up.
"I'm afraid that if I go underground alone, there'll be no one to protect me, and I'll be bullied by those little ghosts."
"I won't let those little brats bully you. I'm older than you. No matter where you are, I'll make arrangements for you in advance and won't let anything bully you."
After listening to her talk for a long time, He Yanchen couldn't help but follow her thoughts and comfort her.
He would not let her go ahead of him. She was still so young. Even if he was gone, he would arrange everything so that she would have someone to support her throughout her life.
Yueli hugged him for a long time, until her emotions finally calmed down, and then she slowly raised her head: "Your Majesty, I really like you..."
He Yanchen raised his eyebrows slightly: "What bad things have you done again? Did you do bad things in your dreams?"
Yue Li's brewing emotions disappeared in an instant, and she punched him angrily: "So annoying!"
He Yanchen smiled and held her fist: "I like Jiaojiao too..."
"I like it even if I do bad things."
Yueli gritted her teeth.

Shou'an Pavilion.
The Queen Mother seldom goes out after returning to the palace. A few days ago, something happened with Xiao Mingyue. In the past few days, the wife of Marquis Shou'an has come to her many times, wanting her to plead for her, but the Queen Mother avoided her.
Her relationship with He Yanchen could only remain peaceful on the surface. Her son resented her in his heart, and if she went to plead for him, it would only backfire.
Moreover, the empress dowager also thought that Xiao Mingyue had gone too far this time, drugging the emperor. How many heads did she have enough to chop off?
The Queen Mother knelt on the cushion and chanted scriptures, muttering to herself. Only at this time every day could she feel at peace.
Coming out of the small Buddhist hall, Nanny Yang helped her to the front hall. "Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong has been waiting for a while. Do you want to see her?"
"Let her in."
There were not many concubines accompanying her. Shen was escorted back to the capital, and now only Rong Jieyu was left. Rong Jieyu had always lived in seclusion, but she would often come to pay her respects and help her copy scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures.
"Empress Dowager." When Concubine Rong saw her come out, she bowed, walked forward and helped her sit down.
"It's still snowing outside, why are you here today?"
Rong Jieyu smiled softly and said, "I have nothing to do, so I wanted to come and talk to the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother sighed, "That's right. Now that Shen has been deposed, you and Concubine Yu are the only two concubines left in the palace. I imagine you're bored too."
Hearing the Queen Mother mention Shen, Rong Jieyu's disdain was clearly visible on her face: "Shen deserves what she gets. I have never had a good relationship with her. Even if she were here, I wouldn't have a say."
The Queen Mother also knew about the quarrel between the two on the day of departure, but she did not ask any more questions and changed the topic.
"Your Highness, I've heard some rumors in the palace recently. Previously, Shen was in charge of the six palaces, and the servants in the palace were under her supervision. Now that she's gone, I don't know who to tell."
The Queen Mother asked, "What are these rumors?"
Rong Jieyu glanced at the palace maids around her and whispered, "It was Miss Xiao. On the day she was sent to Jing'an Temple, she was making a big fuss in front of the palace gate, saying that Concubine Yu was having an affair with her brother..."
With a "bang", the Queen Mother angrily slammed the table: "Nonsense!"
Concubine Yu is the emperor's favorite concubine. How can he allow such rumors that damage a person's reputation to spread in the palace!
"Madam Yang, go investigate immediately. Whoever dares to speak carelessly about the imperial concubine will be handed over to the Criminal Justice Department for punishment."
"yes."
Rong Jieyu hurried forward to appease the Empress Dowager, "Please calm down, Empress Dowager. I am worried that these rumors will reach the ears of Your Majesty and Concubine Yu and ruin Your Majesty's mood, so I came to report this to you first."
"I will thoroughly investigate this matter."
