To be honest, it's actually a very simple thing.
Hesitation leads to trouble.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
The Emperor is too greedy.
He doesn't want to give his heart, but he wants to win hers. Where in this world can you find such a good thing?
At the very least, you should exchange sincerity for sincerity, even if it's just a little bit.
"emperor--"
Ning Changxi was about to say something more when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders.
"emperor?"
She was startled. Could something have happened to the Emperor? If he really died in her house, it would be a devastating disaster for her family.
She quickly shook him. "Wake up?"
"I'm so tired, let me sleep for a while."
Song Zhuo mumbled in a daze.
His gentle breath brushed against her neck, and Ning Changxi shrank back. Hearing him speak, she felt relieved and threw him onto her bed.
That's all.
We've been sleeping together for so long, why be so coy?
"Sanfu?"
Ning Changxi called out.
"Your servant is here."
Grandpa Sanfu's voice rang out from the doorway.
"The Emperor is asleep. Come in and attend to him."
"Why doesn't Your Majesty accompany her personally?"
"Changxi is no longer the Empress."
Ning Hong spoke from behind Sanfu.
"Greetings, Duke of Wei."
Sanfu was also quite conflicted. To be honest, he felt that the Emperor had gone too far this time. He was the Emperor's close attendant and confidant, and he knew everything about the Emperor's discussion with the Duke of Wei that day.
The Emperor regretted it; he was well aware of this matter.
The Emperor is now unwilling to let the Empress leave.
However, he hesitated and was certainly not decisive enough to restore his status as empress.
"Go in and let Changxi come out."
"Your Excellency, His Majesty hasn't had a proper night's sleep in a long time. Why don't you let the Empress keep him company for a while?"
"Grandpa Sanfu, do you really think this is okay?"
"Lord Duke, even if the Empress has been deposed, she is still the Emperor's woman. Your precautions are truly futile."
Ning Hong remained silent for a moment.
What Sanfu said is true.
But he was just not reconciled. Why should he?
Ning Changxi naturally heard Sanfu's voice as well.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
"It's all your fault."
She poked Song Zhuo's face with her hand, then turned around and opened the door.
"Father-in-law, please go in and serve him."
"Your Majesty, I think the Emperor might prefer to see you?"
“Eunuch Sanfu, you have served the Emperor for so long, you must know his thoughts very well. You should also know who he likes, it certainly won’t be me.”
Ning Changxi gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Your Majesty, actually, His Majesty—"
I still like you—
Sanfu really wanted to say this to Ning Changxi, but even he himself felt that these words were somewhat unreasonable and lacked conviction.
The Emperor's actions toward the Empress were truly disheartening.
However, it is also true that the Emperor cannot sleep because the Empress is not by his side.
The Emperor only feels at ease when the Empress is around.
"That's fine, I'm going to the other courtyards."
Anyway, the Duke's mansion is so big, if the Emperor likes this courtyard, he can just give it to him and find another one.
Sanfu sighed as he watched Ning Hongze and Ning Changxi leave the courtyard.
He looked into the room and saw the emperor still lying there quietly, fast asleep, with even a smile on his face.
Oh, Your Majesty, have you truly understood your own heart?
She didn't like the proper empress, but insisted on liking that young widow.
It's really baffling.
In Sanfu's opinion, both the Emperor and the Seventh Prince seemed to be under a spell, inexplicably liking Su Yuan.
The people they liked back then weren't her, but rather the two girls from the Ning family—
After leaving the courtyard, Ning Changxi slowly exhaled.
She genuinely liked Song Zhuo back then.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to enter the palace and become empress.
She knew Song Zhuo's predicament and was willing to understand him.
Even as he married one concubine after another into the palace, she endured it all.
She often comforted herself.
It doesn't matter. Since she has chosen to be empress, she naturally has to nip those jealous thoughts in the bud and become a qualified empress.
Because Song Zhuo really had it so tough.
Most importantly, she believed that in Song Zhuo's heart, she was definitely different.
However, not long after, reality slapped her in the face.
She was deposed after only three years as empress.
"Dad, I think I'm starting to regret it."
She shouldn't have entered the palace.
If she hadn't entered the palace, perhaps she could be with him as a friend now.
Those pains and grievances will no longer bother her.
"It's alright, things can still be salvaged." As long as you're alive, everything can change—
Song Zhuo slept for a long time, perhaps because he was really tired, and slept until the next morning.
I haven't slept like this in a long time.
I immediately felt refreshed.
He was especially pleased to discover that he was still in Ning Changxi's boudoir.
When he appeared, the Ning family was having breakfast.
