Of course, the main reason why Shi Wuqing wanted to wait for Shi Hengan to come to her was that meeting Shi Hengan would give her another wave of popularity.
Originally, she thought that she would just die, but now that things have developed to this point, there is no reason for her not to take the popularity points in front of her.
Anyway, she is no longer afraid of death now.
Rong Lan could clearly see the change in Shi Wuqing's mentality.
"Stop making trouble?"
In the warm room filled with charcoal fire, the young new emperor asked with a smile.
Shi Wuqing looked up at him and spoke after a while: "Your Majesty..."
"Call me by my name." He interrupted, seeming to dislike the name.
Under the eunuch's horrified gaze, Shi Wuqing changed his words: "Rong Lan."
"Yes." The new emperor smiled gently: "What does Qingqing want to say?"
"Do you want to make me queen?" She tilted her head, completely unaware of the sensitive topic she was discussing. "Many people will disagree. Besides, do you mind? Whether it's my past with the Third Prince or my past with the late Emperor..."
Rong Lan waved his hand, and the eunuchs who were listening with cold sweats on their foreheads quickly bowed and withdrew. This bride really relied on the emperor's favor and dared to speak out anything...
She dared to speak, but he didn't dare to listen. He wished he could become deaf right there!
Now that I've been kicked out, I feel relieved!
After the eunuch left and closed the door, he felt alive again.
Inside the house, Rong Lan sat opposite Shi Wuqing. He did not answer Shi Wuqing's question, but his eyes dimmed a little. He said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save you at that time."
Shi Wuqing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Rong Lan was talking about the time when she was with the Third Prince.
"It doesn't matter," she said. "Besides, I didn't want you to save me at that time. I was sent to the palace voluntarily."
So... do you understand?
There's no need to like her.
Rong Lan was indeed shocked by these words, but soon, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, and looked at Shi Wuqing with a more gentle gaze: "I understand, you don't want to implicate me."
Shi Wuqing:?
"No, no, I just want wealth and glory. I want to marry the emperor and climb to a high position to change my life!"
"Now I am also the emperor. If you marry me, you will have a higher status, but I don't see you happy."
“…” The fog cleared.
Ah this.
"So, Qingqing, you don't have to lie to me." Rong Lan described her eyebrows and eyes, as if he saw the sad and helpless look she had when she was sent to the palace half a year ago.
The pain in his heart was so intense that Rong Lan would never forget the terrifying anger and despair he felt when he first saw the Concubine Qing, who was conferred the title by his father.
It's not that she doesn't want to be redeemed.
But no one could save her.
Because of my hesitation and delay, I missed the best time and made her fall into an even more painful abyss.
"Qingqing, everything you've experienced is my fault. You don't have to give up on yourself. You've always been the best."
“…I didn’t give up on myself.”
"Then don't do those dangerous things in the future."
“…” Doing those things is not because of self-abandonment!
"Okay." Shi Wuqing gave up resisting and said weakly, "I will."
How come she became such a strange character in Rong Lan's heart?
Rong Lan smiled and said, "Qingqing, don't worry, no one can bully you anymore. I will make Rong Fu pay you back double for all the suffering you have endured."
Rong Fu is the name of the third prince.
Shi Wuqing hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me."
Rong Lan's smile faded a little, and his clear eyes stared at her without blinking: "Don't feel pressured, I do this not for you, but for myself."
In order to realize one's own greed.
To make up for one's mistakes.
In order to be able to approach her openly and possess her...
From beginning to end, it was just selfish for myself.
"That's a strange statement." She seemed to understand.
"In short, you don't have to care about what anyone outside thinks."
Rong Lan looked at the beautiful face so close to him, and suddenly, with great restraint, he lowered his voice and said, "Qingqing, can you hug me?"
Before Shi Wuqing could say anything, the system jumped up and said, "No!!!"
she:"……"
