When Eunuch Hou went to report to the emperor, the emperor personally knelt in front of the coffin of the retired emperor in the Wenwu Hall.
Eunuch Hou came close to the emperor and whispered what Concubine Zhen said, then stood respectfully by the side, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
The emperor hesitated for only a moment and then stood up.
He also instructed Prince Rong to take care of the matters in front of the spirit of the retired emperor before leaving with Eunuch Hou.
As the emperor left with his men, the people kneeling below were obviously relieved. They even straightened their backs and cried much softer.
Even the old ministers who truly felt sorry for the retired emperor would not be able to bear the pain of crying like this. After all, they are old.
When Xie Zixin heard the sound of clearing the road outside, she knew that the emperor was about to arrive.
She changed to a more dignified sitting posture, and at this moment she really had the temperament of the mother of a country in her previous life.
Even the emperor, who came in with Eunuch Hou, was dazed for a moment when he saw Xie Zixin like this.
When the emperor came to his senses, he immediately ordered Eunuch Hou and others to retreat and stay away, not allowing anyone to approach.
Xie Zixin did not even stand up to salute, but just sat there arrogantly, "Your Majesty, you still have to come to see me after all."
The emperor felt guilty about the death of the retired emperor, and he was also very sad after being busy these past few days.
The emperor did not come forward, but sat on the ground not far from Xie Zixin. He was also very tired.
Xie Zixin originally thought that she would yell when she saw the emperor, but when the emperor arrived, she was surprisingly calm, "Your Majesty, do you think this dress looks good on me?"
The emperor looked up again and took a serious look, then said affirmatively, "It's quite beautiful."
Xie Zixin's smile softened upon hearing this. "Isn't that so? I thought your first reaction would be to say I was overstepping my bounds!"
"I know you've always wanted to be my queen..." The emperor paused here, "In fact, to some extent, I do owe you this. You've given me money and made prophecies over the years.
I can only say that things are unpredictable! "
The emperor was truly moved, but more importantly, he wanted to calm Xie Zixin down and make her die willingly.
Ever since she arranged people around the retired emperor and instigated the emperor to frequently summon his illegitimate brothers in an attempt to make him rely on her prophecies, the emperor could no longer tolerate her.
The emperor can tolerate a person who can predict the future, but he cannot tolerate this person plotting against him.
Xie Zixin thought she was saying goodbye to the emperor! At this moment, she didn't want to be hysterical, and her tone was rare and calm:
"It's rare that the emperor still remembers it. I thought he didn't remember it at all!"
"I remember everything, but sometimes I have no choice. Once you have tasted the power, who would be willing to give it up? I do, and so do you."
At this time, the emperor spoke more casually in front of the dying Xie Zixin.
Xie Zixin's IQ was rare. When she heard the emperor say this, she frowned for a while, then felt relieved.
Even if Xie Zixin planned to chat calmly, her heart was inevitably agitated at this moment, and she sighed in her heart, "Who can play better than Li Jingchen! She had never played with him in her previous life, so it was normal for him to know her secrets if she did it again."
But even though Xie Zixin knew, she still had to ask, "Your Majesty, you already know that I've lived a lifetime, right? You also know that I've told you everything I know, right?"
Xie Zixin's tone remained calm, as if she was discussing with the emperor what to have for dinner.
Xie Zixin was so unusual that the emperor became even more cautious, fearing that he would fall into Xie Zixin's trap.
The emperor still smiled and replied, "I guessed it."
Even though Xie Zixin had already accepted this matter in her heart, she still felt a little upset when she heard the emperor admit it:
"You are worthy of being the Emperor, so the Emperor knows that I have arranged for someone to be with the Emperor! The Emperor wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
I have wronged many people in my past two lives, but I believe I have a clear conscience towards the Emperor. How can you not tolerate me?"
Xie Zixin's originally calm tone was forced to become louder.
The emperor was somewhat unhappy when he heard Xie Zixin say this. He was willing to acknowledge Xie Zixin's efforts, but that didn't mean he was willing to take the blame for her.
"My beloved, you must understand that although you have been kind to me, you have also made many mistakes! If I hadn't helped you clean up the mess, do you think you would have survived to this day?
Besides, I didn't ask you to reach out everywhere. Everyone has to pay the price for their own decisions."
"Hahahaha, yes! Everyone has to pay the price for their decisions. I just fell in love with someone I shouldn't have, but I paid the price for two lifetimes.
I'm such a fool."
Xie Zixin not only laughed so hard that she fell to the ground, but also laughed until tears came out. She felt an infinite sadness in her heart.
The emperor was silent for a moment, but he still promised: "If you have any wishes, I will do my best to fulfill them."
"Although I don't want to admit it, Shi Huan is indeed my daughter. I don't want her, you don't care about her, and that bitch Duan Jianing doesn't really treat her well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have grown up to be even more stupid than me.
Your Majesty, please don’t look for a man from a high-class family for her. Find one from a humble family who is easier to control!
"Ganser is a good boy. I am the one who has let him down. Don't make things difficult for him after I'm gone. Just let him live a prosperous life."
The key point is to not let that bitch Duan Jianing's child bully him.
This way we'll be even, and the emperor won't have to feel guilty.
If there is an afterlife, let us be strangers!"
After Xie Zixin finished speaking, she looked directly into the emperor's eyes.
This request was indeed not difficult for the emperor, and he agreed without hesitation, "I promise you, I will not let anyone bully our children."
Seeing that the emperor had agreed, Xie Zixin took the poisoned wine beside her and drank it in one gulp without any hesitation. "Your Majesty, can you please call me Xin'er again?"
After Xie Zixin finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood. But she still looked at Emperor Li Jingchen expectantly. After all, this was the man she had loved with all her heart for two lifetimes, and she might never see him again.
The emperor...finally held Xie Zixin in his arms and called out affectionately, "Xin'er!"
Xie Zixin had originally wanted to say that she now understood why the reborn Zhou Qiongyue hadn't chosen Li Jingchen. Zhou Qiongyue was smarter than she was, having seen through the heartless nature of the royal family.
Xie Zixin thought about it and decided to give up. She was leaving soon, so she didn't want to make a big enemy for her godson. She would be sorry for this child in both her lives.
Xie Zixin thought it through and closed her eyes with satisfaction.
The emperor sat holding Xie Zixin's body for a long time. Maybe he cried, maybe he didn't. But when he stood up, he replied to Xie Zixin, "Then you better run faster in your next life, don't run into my hands again."
The emperor felt that even though Xie Zixin had many faults, she was the only woman he had ever loved.
