Chapter 1184 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 38
But he was different.
Controlling the court and wielding absolute power—these are the assets that give her backing.
The emperor and empress, this pair of lovers, became blinded by a little bit of affection, not even knowing who they couldn't touch.
Two idiots.
A stream flows gently beneath the corridor, and koi carp sway their tails slowly.
The large floating leaves are dotted with brightly colored flowers, like little lanterns.
The girl was steadily lifted up in the man's arms, the tips of her cloud-patterned boots peeking out from between the layers of her silk skirt, the flowing skirt swaying gracefully in the air with his long strides.
Song Jinhuan placed her hands naturally on her waist and abdomen, tilted her head slightly, and blinked at the man's chin.
Xuanhe nearly stumbled, but steadied himself and said calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The girl's almond-shaped eyes looked innocent. "Huh? Can't I look?"
"Can."
He answered very quickly.
I fear that if I don't receive what I deserve in time, the other party will misunderstand.
Xuanhe couldn't be happier; he couldn't be happier if the girl kept staring at him.
Song Jinhuan was carried to a secluded courtyard and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You actually have a residence in the harem?"
"During the years when the Emperor was missing, the Emperor Emeritus was in poor health and often summoned me to the palace. Later, he bestowed this place upon me."
When the Emperor Emeritus was in good health, he greatly admired him. However, as his health deteriorated, his admiration turned into reliance, suspicion, and fear. On his deathbed, the Crown Prince returned to the palace and ascended the throne in his place.
He then became the regent.
The emperor had never experienced the struggle and bloodshed for imperial power. When he returned, the other princes were either dead, wounded, or deposed.
This also deprived the emperor of an opportunity to grow, resulting in his current shallowness.
What was the emperor doing while the princes were fighting tooth and nail for the throne?
Oh, he lost his memory and secretly pledged his life to the Empress, holding a simple wedding and promising to be together for life.
Xuanhe despised this behavior.
Without memory, one cannot know what responsibilities one carries.
In such a situation, to dare to take on another responsibility is truly utterly foolish.
It's just amnesia, not that I've lost my brain.
Xuanhe shook off the mockery in his mind and placed the girl on the soft couch.
He skillfully cleaned the wounds on Song Jinhuan's palms, and two handkerchiefs became stained with blood.
Song Jinhuan pressed her lips tightly together.
Xuanhe looked up and saw her face scrunched up. He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Song Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
It only hurts a little bit, it shouldn't be considered pain, right?
Xuanhe's eyes flashed with displeasure. "There are many rules in the palace, and it is understandable to be tolerant in all situations. But now that you have met me, how can you continue to suffer this injustice?"
With her well-defined fingers, she carefully spread a smear of milky-white ointment onto the girl's palm.
A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted into my nostrils.
Song Jinhuan moved her fingers, and the pain in her wound seemed to disappear instantly.
I don't know if it was his words or the ointment that caused it.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xuanhe continued to coax her gently, "If you feel even the slightest discomfort, you can tell me."
Song Jinhuan frowned, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't this...making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Xuanhe's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly recovered and answered firmly, "No!"
Song Jinhuan tilted her head, watching Xuanhe apply the ointment to his other hand, and said seriously, "But telling you won't help. Just like this injured hand, it will still hurt."
"Putting aside the injury, if I'm just unhappy, am I supposed to tell you?"
