Chapter 92: Living in Chengqian Palace 1 I Love You the Most
Wen Wanyu buried her face in his chest, and deep in his chest echoed layer after layer of steady and powerful heartbeats.
"Your Majesty, why do you want me to stay by your side all the time?"
When asked, Xie Junyao, to be honest, couldn't explain the specific reason.
Wen Wanyu said these two sentences lightly and casually, "Your Majesty has just experienced the pain of losing a child. Am I just a tool for you to heal your wounds at any time?"
"Of course not."
Xie Junyao let go of her and looked down into her eyes. Wen Wanyu met his gaze, a blazing and honest one, like a lake filled with love, easily captivating at a glance.
"I,"
Xie Junyao scratched his head. He could debate with those stubborn ministers in the court, but at this moment, he was too stupid to speak.
When he saw Wen Wanyu's starry eyes gradually dimming, he held her shoulders and said:
"I want you to stay with me because... having you by my side makes me feel at ease and happy. In short, I like having you by my side."
After saying that, he blushed like an innocent high school student and avoided her gaze.
Wen Wanyu was overjoyed. The working spirit of migrant workers, at least this year's work was effective.
She coaxed him gently: "Then Your Majesty...does he like me?"
Xie Junyao hesitated.
Of course he liked her. But he was too embarrassed to say it out loud… After all, he was the emperor, and he was used to hearing his concubines say they liked him. It would be embarrassing to ask him to say that he liked her.
"Oh~" Wen Wanyu lowered her head, and after a long while she slowly said, "It turns out that all this was just my wishful thinking."
She opened her mouth again, but this time nothing came out and she turned away quietly.
Xie Junyao subconsciously grabbed her arm.
Wen Wanyu's voice trembled: "It doesn't matter. I don't like the emperor very much anyway. It's even."
This is the truth.
Xie Junyao's face turned red. He asked her to face him, but he saw tears in her eyes. As long as her eyelids trembled slightly, tears would fall.
Xie Junyao was stunned. He wiped away the tears from her eyes very gently. After a long while, he finally uttered two words: "No!"
Wen Wanyu was stunned, blinked her big eyes, a tear fell on the tip of her nose, and she raised her red eyes, looking breathtakingly beautiful.
Xie Junyao: "I like you."
Wen Wanyu curled the corners of his lips, the mist in his eyes dissipated, and he leaned forward and asked, "How much do you like it?"
"I like it very much."
"Like very much, how much do you like it?"
Xie Junyao tapped her forehead: "I won't tell you."
This was the first time since he came of age that he had… confessed his feelings to a woman?! Humph, she was still pushing it further.
Wen Wanyu's eyes were red again, and her clear eyes became blurry again. "In short, the more the emperor likes me, the more I will like the emperor. The emperor can't expect to get even a little more love from me."
Xie Junyao smiled.
So childish, just like a little kid.
But he likes it very much.
He held her in his arms, and said, as if to coax her or to explain the fact, "I love you the most."
Wen Wanyu heard his heartbeat.
Her heart was beating like a deer, causing her heartbeat to become irregular.
"Then Wanwan also likes the emperor the most."
"Keep your word. But you can't like Shuyi the most." When he said the word Shuyi, his jealousy almost burst out!
Wen Wanyu smiled and said, "I know! I love the emperor the most."
At this moment, the Fuyao Palace really looked like a cold palace. There were white cloths and white lanterns hanging outside the Fuyao Palace.
Concubine Zheng sat on the chair with a confused look on her face. A quarter of an hour passed, and she still didn't move.
Seeing that it was getting late, Linglong walked over and advised, "My Lady, don't think about it anymore. It's time for dinner."
Concubine Zheng, having completely calmed down, regretted her actions. She was filled with rage, with nowhere to vent it, and her blood was rushing to her head. She only wanted to know the reason, but never considered the consequences.
She forgot that she no longer had the capital to be willful. People often said that her status as "General Guangguang's legitimate sister" was enough to allow her to gain a firm foothold in the harem and be willful and proud.
However, she knew that the emperor's love and fondness were the capital for her willfulness.
Jing Shi had just left, and Yu Er was being raised in Shou Kang Palace. She no longer had any children to rely on. The days ahead would be even harder.
Linglong choked up and said, "My Lady, I know you are upset. But you must have some dinner. You can't fall down."
Concubine Zheng moved her lips, "Linglong, what do you think I should do?"
"Your Majesty..."
Linglong considered it carefully and said, "Your Majesty now only has the eldest princess. However, the eldest princess is being raised in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. Raising the eldest princess by your side is the best solution at the moment."
Concubine Zheng stood up and took two steps back and forth before speaking. "Yes, you are right. But the Queen Mother has never liked me. What should I do?"
Linglong walked slowly to her side and whispered, "If the Queen Mother is ill and unable to take care of the Princess..."
Concubine Zheng raised her eyelids and smiled faintly. If the Queen Mother were ill...
This cannot be blamed on her. It is the law of the jungle and only the fittest survive.
The night was moonlit and cold. Outside Fengyi Palace, the guards saw the Queen Mother but did not dare to stop her.
Fengyi Palace was in darkness.
The Queen Mother frowned, unable to see the road ahead and almost tripped, "Why is it so dark?"
"Go and light the candles."
"yes."
The candles were lit, and the hall suddenly became bright. The Queen Mother tilted her head slightly and saw a person sitting upright on the couch in front of her.
The queen looked tired, her lips were as white as paper, and her face was sunken. She had her hair in a messy bun with only a white flower on it.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale. She shook off Aunt Liu's hand and walked up to the Queen. "Queen, are you giving up on yourself?"
The Queen raised her head and said, "Mother."
The Queen Mother said angrily: "How could the Shen family raise such a useless queen like you? You killed the prince and...you still...didn't deal with it cleanly. You..."
The Queen smiled faintly: "Mother, I am too tired. I don't want to embarrass myself anymore."
“Bang!”
The Queen Mother could no longer bear it and slapped him.
"Queen, this is not the time for you to be willful."
The queen remained motionless, as if she could not feel the pain on her face at all.
"I am not willful. For all these years, the only thought that has kept me alive is revenge for Jing Lin. Now that I have avenged my great vengeance, whether I live or die is irrelevant."
The Queen Mother also felt sorry for her, especially when she thought of her grandson Jinglin.
"What about Concubine Zheng?"
"Are you going to let her go just like that?"
A terrifying smile appeared on the queen's lips: "My son, I have my own plans."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.
Did she have her own plans? She had already thought of a way to deal with Concubine Zheng, but why didn't she use it earlier? Never mind, the Queen Mother sighed. The Queen was the type to quietly accomplish great things, and her plans were different from others.
The Queen Mother asked, "What are your plans?"
The Queen played with the jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "In a few days, Mother will know."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows flickered for a moment, and then she turned around and said: "I have only one request. Keep your position as Queen."
The Queen made no reply.
The position of Queen was a shackle and a cage for her. She didn't want to embarrass herself and was afraid that she would have to disobey the Queen Mother's orders.
The Queen Mother knew that she could no longer rely on her and left Fengyi Palace.
