It’s better to go outside the palace and have fun.
Sheng Xiyan said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Hanyu Temple to pray for the country, praying that the plague will soon dissipate, the country will be safe, and that Your Majesty will be blessed with great fortune."
Empress Duan knelt down and said, "Concubine Chen is so righteous. Your Majesty, I beg you to grant her sincere wishes."
Concubine Jia and Concubine Dun also immediately knelt down and echoed, "We beg the Emperor to allow Concubine Chen to leave the palace and go to the temple to pray for blessings."
De Fei was beside Sheng Xiyan, holding her hand and hinting:
Sister Sheng, are you really willing to leave? You're giving up your prestigious position as the head of the Five Palaces? Once you leave, there's no turning back. Don't be impulsive.
Sheng Xiyan smiled indifferently. She didn't want to continue enduring the life of sharing her husband with other women in a cage.
Everyone feels sad in different ways. Some people cry every day over the pain of being abandoned, while others lament how they will survive in the future.
She never complains or feels sorry for herself, but always seizes opportunities to change. Even if the future is unclear, at least she has tried and has no regrets.
Her unwavering expression chilled Xuan Ling's heart.
Sheng Xiyan, how can you be so heartless?
Xuan Ling's narrow and long phoenix eyes were dyed red. He stood with his hands behind his back, his right hand behind his back, constantly turning the jade ring on his thumb.
Concubine Jia said delicately, "Your Majesty, please agree. Without Concubine Chen, I will definitely make Your Majesty happy."
"Shut up!"
Xuan Ling walked up to Sheng Xiyan, bent his majestic body, and squatted in front of her.
Empress Duan exhorted, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you do this?"
Xuan Ling held Sheng Xiyan's shoulders with both hands.
"Sheng Xiyan, look at me."
Sheng Xiyan raised her head and looked into the emperor's deep eyes. For a moment, her eyes were filled with a passion that only she knew how to use.
Xuan Ling tried to find the answer from her clear and distinct peach blossom eyes.
"Sheng Xiyan, tell me, do you love me?"
Say you love me, even if it's not ten points, not nine points, not eight points, not seven points...
Even if it's just one or two points...
I am also willing to revoke my order and give you more time to get along with each other.
Sheng Xiyan tried hard to hold back the tears.
Your Majesty, Xiyan certainly loved you. I don’t know when it started, but why didn’t you feel it?
Is my love important to you?
Your desire to conquer requires me to say I love you before you feel satisfied, right?
But I won’t tell you, because that’s the worst that can happen.
My feelings are based on your liking for me. When I no longer feel your love, I will no longer love you.
You have hurt me, and I will take revenge for every grievance I have in my life, so that I won't miss you in the years to come.
"Her eyebrows are long and graceful, her beauty is soul-stirring, and she captivates the ruler and his subjects.
In the end, I still let you down.
Your Majesty and I are unable to achieve spiritual understanding and mutual affection."
The line 'I may not have the wings of a phoenix to fly together, but our hearts are connected' made her feel lost for several nights.
Wasn't what she said what he expected?
He wants a soul mate, a mutual confidant, and mutual comfort.
After nearly two years of getting along, he and Sheng Xiyan really couldn't achieve spiritual harmony.
Love is a two-way journey, and one-way love will only leave you hurt.
Sheng Xiyan took off the imperial green ring from her right ring finger and placed it in Xuan Ling's hand.
The oath is still there, but it is difficult to send a letter.
No, no, no!
Xuan Ling felt disheartened and slowly stood up.
"If I had known it would be so heart-wrenching, I would have never met you in the first place.
Sheng Xiyan, you must set off for Hanyu Temple immediately.
The general is my son, you are not allowed to take him away."
Sheng Xiyan wanted Jiang Jiang to stay in the palace to receive education rather than follow her to the temple to suffer.
"Can I take Hua Xia and Mei Xiang with me?"
"Permitted."
After Sheng Xiyan kowtowed respectfully and paid her respects, she stood up and walked out of the hall. Her steps were heavy, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Just as I stepped over the threshold, I heard the emperor's deep voice,
"etc."
Defei looked back with joy, thinking that Emperor Xuanwu was going to revoke his order.
Empress Duan was so anxious that she wanted to step forward to persuade him, but she saw Xuan Ling take out a string of bodhi wood prayer beads from his sleeve.
Eunuch Fu took it respectfully with both hands and presented it to Sheng Xiyan.
"This is my final reward to you."
Sheng Xiyan tightly grasped the Bodhi wood rosary, tears streaming down her face, and walked out quickly without looking back.
Concubine Jia said, "Why didn't she thank me? How brave she is!"
Concubine Dun thought, hey, now that Concubine Chen is gone, can she occupy the main hall of Guanju Palace?
She stepped forward and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen has left the palace. Can I live in the main palace? I am already a concubine!"
Xuan Ling glared at her fiercely, raised his hand and slapped her hard, "Are you worthy of this?"
Concubine Dun saw stars and fell to the ground, crying:
"I was wrong, Your Majesty, please calm down."
Empress Duan and the others knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Sheng Xiyan returned to Guanju Palace from the east side of the imperial palace for the last time in a procession, covering half of her face with a handkerchief and crying inconsolably.
Didn’t we agree not to shed a single tear?
Don't cry, don't cry.
My chest was heaving and it took a long time to calm down.
Hua Xia was so anxious that she whispered advice,
"My lady, be careful not to hurt yourself."
Be careful of fetal distress.
Within a short period of time, the news that Concubine Chen was stripped of her title and sent to a temple to practice Buddhism spread throughout the palace.
This is the most unique Mid-Autumn Festival.
The general was in the archery training ground, riding a small black pony and aiming at the target with a small bow and arrow.
The guards came running in and shouted,
"This is terrible, young master, the Empress Chen is leaving the palace!"
Will turn around,
"What's going on? Is my mother going back to the Sheng family to visit my grandmother?"
