Chapter 39 Emperor's Heart



Liv Palace

Concubine Lixian's hysterical laughter was somewhat permeable.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the man who was laughing wickedly and couldn't help shaking his head. Since ancient times, women in the harem have been so boring and calculating, right? Polygamy, no matter in ancient or modern times, I'm afraid that no one can be without resentment or hatred. Even if there was no free love in ancient times, even if one had no feelings for her husband, there would definitely be resentment in the heart. Not to mention the women in the harem who were poisoned by feudal ideas. For the sake of the family and for self-protection, they were so blind. It was understandable, but also pitiful and sad.

However, no matter how many reasons he had no control over, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could not forgive Concubine Lixian's behavior of seeking glory and wealth by harming others.

After all, Concubine Lixian was in the harem, and even if she did nothing, her life would not be in danger. However, she chose to take the initiative to attack and frame her. In this way, this kind of behavior was not out of her own will to protect herself, but was a manifestation of her vicious heart!

The emperor's description of Concubine Lixian as a vicious woman was not an exaggeration, but what surprised him was that he saw the same feelings in Concubine Rougui's sad eyes, except that these feelings were mixed with madness and obsession.

This is something I have never discovered.

The reason why Concubine Lixian was so hysterical and could not tolerate Concubine Rougui so much might not be that simple. It might be for the sake of her family.

And he hid it so tightly, probably to cover up his own weaknesses, his own love, and even to deceive Concubine Rou and the Emperor!

If Concubine Lixian had long been in love with the emperor, then it would make sense that the emperor and Concubine Rougui, who were so in love with each other, would turn love into hate.

And hiding the feelings is to avoid the eyes and ears of Concubine Rou!

After all, people in love are sensitive. If Concubine Rougui had known Concubine Lixian's thoughts early on, with Concubine Lixian's intelligence, and unless Concubine Lixian hid it so well, it would have been impossible for them to treat each other as sisters, let alone allow Concubine Lixian to be favored.

So, what about the emperor?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the emperor and frowned slightly at Concubine Lixian's attitude.

Thinking about the emperor's reluctance in Cuiyun Palace, and then thinking about this moment, the emperor appeared in Liv Palace. And now, the guilt he felt towards Concubine Rougui, the irony in his heart became deeper and deeper.

As an emperor, even if they had made vows of eternal love and expressed true love, so what?

Or maybe, he truly felt pity and love for Concubine Rougui, but in this era of male superiority and female inferiority, where men and women are unequal, not many people would be able to put power and love aside.

"Vicious woman?! Haha, Your Majesty, is this your conclusion about me?" Concubine Lixian roared at the emperor, not disguising the hurt and resentment in her eyes at all.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was brought back to his senses by Concubine Lixian's words. Looking at Concubine Lixian's injuries and then at the complicated sorrow in Concubine Rougui's eyes, he gradually became dissatisfied with the emperor.

My aunt sacrificed herself for love, but the result of such a sacrifice was that she had to share a man with countless people.

But now, this man still loves her as before, but he can't bear to be with other women and has doubts about himself. It seems that this kind of love is not worth her sacrifice.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked upset, but when he heard the emperor speak, he felt even more depressed and wanted to escape from the palace.

"You think you are worthy of my trust. What conclusion? You are so treacherous and you have wasted my trust in you." The emperor looked disgusted.

But his trust made Concubine Rou Gui's pain grow deeper.

"Trust?" Concubine Lixian laughed sarcastically, "Your Majesty, do you really trust me? You are willing to stay in Lifu Palace and listen to my confrontation with Concubine Rougui. How can it be for me? How ridiculous that I would rather deceive myself and kill your love with my own hands, so I make such self-suggestions. How could I not know that you want to prove that your love has not faded with the passage of time and is still the same as before?"

Concubine Lixian stopped kneeling and stood up stubbornly.

Step by step, he walked towards Concubine Rou Guifei.

She pointed at Concubine Lixian with her hand, and looked at the emperor with a sad and sarcastic look, "Do you think this proves that she has not changed in the past ten years? Haha, I am not the only one who can lie with my eyes open! The person you love deeply is plotting against you, but you are completely unaware of it. This is pathetic. If she admitted to framing me today, would you still think she is a vicious woman?"

"Shangguan Jie Li, stop shooting at random. You are hopeless and refuse to repent." Concubine Rou frowned tightly. She felt a little guilty about what Concubine Li Xian said, but when she thought about the emperor's behavior and her dead daughter, her heart became firm.

"Shut up!" Concubine Lixian glared at Concubine Rougui. "In terms of looks and talent, how am I inferior to you? In terms of knowing the emperor and falling in love at first sight, you are not even one ten-thousandth as good as me. How can you get the emperor's wholehearted love, while I can only hold back my edge and pretend to be calm and indifferent for the sake of loving the emperor? How can you be worthy of this!"

At this moment, Concubine Lixian no longer calls herself "this queen". She is in pain and has forgotten her own identity. She is filled with grievances and resentments that need to be vented urgently.

"Whether I am worthy or not is not your place to tell me what to do, you ungrateful, treacherous, venomous woman." Concubine Rougui fought back against Concubine Lixian in a strong and domineering manner.

At this moment, no matter what, Concubine Lixian cannot be kept!

Although Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, he hated the system of male superiority and female inferiority, and the royal family who were fickle and had many excuses, even more.

"A person who has been scheming from the beginning to the end, who increased the potency of the medicine when he failed to kill me, but still doomed me to die, and who kills people with his own hands, does not deserve to be loved." Zong Zheng Xiaoting approached Concubine Rou Guifei and held her hand, showing a loving mother and daughter who stood together. She also deliberately gave the emperor the illusion that he was afraid of Concubine Lixian, but suppressed his fear to speak up for his mother.

Because, at this moment, Zong Zheng Xiaoting clearly saw the emperor's hesitation. If he could not take advantage of this opportunity to make the emperor believe that everything was done by Concubine Lixian, then this love that had gradually become calculated and changed would slowly fade away drop by drop.

What he could do was to use his knowledge of psychology to reinforce and suggest a factual image to the emperor.

"Do you know what love is?" The rejected Concubine Lixian glared at Zongzheng Xiaoting angrily, "If it weren't for you and your daughter getting in the way, the Emperor's heart would have been filled by me long ago, and he wouldn't have mistakenly thought that he loved your mother. What do you know!"

At this moment, Concubine Lixian was already a little crazy, with confusion in her eyes.

She was becoming more and more abnormal, and she kept complaining about how good the emperor was to her and how much he cared about her.

Every word and every sentence was like a knife cutting into Concubine Rou Gui's heart, while the emperor's face became more and more disgusted with every word she said.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes fell on the emperor's hand.
