Chapter 126 She Still Loves Him
Shen Yuning couldn't hold back her tears after hearing his caring words. Tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string and dripped onto the ground.
She cried, "Ye Jinshu, I am now the most favored concubine of His Majesty. I have no shortage of money or anything..."
When Ye Jinshu saw her crying, he subconsciously reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
She coaxed softly, "Don't cry, Meimei. These are just to give you more confidence in the harem. Even if you no longer have the favor of His Majesty, you must live a good life."
Shen Yuning took a deep breath and wiped away the remaining tears with her fingertips.
She sat down again and looked up at Ye Jinshu. Although there were still tears in her eyes, there was a firmness in her eyes.
"Ye Jinshu, I will live a good life, and I hope you can find the person you love soon."
Ye Jinshu looked down at Shen Yuning, but Shen Yuning seemed to be avoiding something, just staring down at the flowers in front of her.
For a moment, the greenhouse was quiet and silent, with only the faint fragrance of flowers lingering in the air.
After a long silence, Ye Jinshu said, "I will take my leave. Your Majesty, take care."
Shen Yuning hummed, not daring to say more, for fear of losing control of her emotions again.
Ye Jinshu turned and left.
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yuning.
Without waiting for Shen Yuning to react, he raised his head and kissed her on the lips.
Ye Jinshu opened his eyes and clearly saw the surprise that suddenly appeared in her eyes.
But what made him happy was that she didn't push him away with her hand, but let him kiss her.
Shen Yuning's acquiescence made Ye Jinshu's heart beat faster.
He took advantage of the situation and placed his hand behind her head, pressing it down slightly. Their lips pressed even more closely together, and their breathing intertwined.
Ye Jinshu couldn't control his emotions, he even slightly opened his lips and went straight in, kissing her lips repeatedly.
The lingering posture seemed to vent out all the emotions that had been suppressed in the heart since entering Ganjing at this moment.
At first, Shen Yuning was immersed in the sudden intimacy and indulged herself in this moment of warmth, but soon her reason returned.
She suddenly woke up, put her hands on Ye Jinshu's shoulders, pushed him away, and said incoherently: "Um... Ye Jinshu, that's enough."
Ye Jinshu finally let go of her lips, but his hand still stayed behind her head. The two of them looked into each other's eyes, very close to each other.
His eyes had been dyed scarlet without him noticing, revealing a reckless persistence, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The person I love is right in front of me, where do you want me to find him?"
Shen Yuning's eyes were full of panic. She lowered her voice and said, "I am the emperor's concubine now! Do you know what it means to do this? This is treason. Once discovered..."
"I only know that my Xixi has not changed. You love me, not Your Majesty. That's enough."
Ye Jinshu interrupted her, the determination in his eyes remained unchanged, and his fiery gaze made Shen Yuning even more frightened.
At this moment, Xitong's voice suddenly came from the door: "This servant pays homage to His Majesty."
The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent atmosphere, and made Shen Yuning panic instantly.
Ye Jinshu seemed quite calm. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, then stood up calmly: "I will take my leave."
Having said that, he raised his foot and walked towards the door.
As soon as Ye Jinshu walked out, he happened to see His Majesty walking in. He said respectfully as if nothing had happened, "Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you."
"Stand up."
Quan Minghe just glanced at Ye Jinshu indifferently, without lingering his gaze for too long, and strode straight in.
Although he promised to let Ye Jinshu come to Yaohua Palace to see her, when Ye Jinshu really came to Yaohua Palace, he felt inexplicably irritated and couldn't suppress it.
In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer and headed towards Yaohua Palace.
Shen Yuning stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
There was a hoarseness in her voice, as if she had just cried.
Quan Minghe couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He looked at her face and asked in confusion, "Why are your eyes red?"
Shen Yuning was shocked, knowing that Quan Minghe was meticulous.
Afraid that he would notice something wrong with her face, she didn't care about anything else and took a step forward, hugged Quan Minghe's waist, and buried her face in his arms.
With a somewhat aggrieved tone, she said, "I miss my father and mother. Just now, my cousin came over and talked to me about my father and mother. I couldn't hold back and started crying."
As she spoke, she squeezed out some more tears, which fell down and wet the black dragon robe on Quan Minghe.
When Quan Minghe saw her crying, he felt soft-hearted and distressed.
He stroked her back and his eyes softened.
He said in a gentle voice: "I will summon the Grand Protector to the capital next year so that you and your daughter can meet. Don't cry."
Shen Yuning rubbed against his arms, as if seeking comfort, but in fact she was quietly wiping away the remaining tears on her face with her dragon robe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But Ye Jinshu's kiss just now was not light, and she was afraid that it would leave some marks on her lips, so she tiptoed, stretched out her hands, hooked Quan Minghe's neck and pulled him down, then raised her head and kissed him actively.
Quan Minghe's heart moved, and he put his arms around her slender waist, bent down, lowered his head, and kissed her hard.
His strength was somewhat overbearing, causing Shen Yuning to lean back involuntarily, forming a graceful arc between her back and waist.
As soon as their lips parted, Shen Yuning's cheeks were flushed by the passionate kiss, her chest heaved slightly, and she panted. It took her a while to recover.
She raised her eyes and looked at Quan Minghe: "Why did your majesty come to Yaohua Palace at this time?"
At this time, Quan Minghe was usually reviewing memorials.
What's more, he actually agreed to let Ye Jinshu come to see him, which really surprised Shen Yuning.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Quan Minghe's face, and he coughed lightly.
As if to cover up, he said: "I will have lunch with you today."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Yuning's response, he naturally took her hand and walked towards the dining hall.
Shen Yuning was slightly startled, but without saying anything more, she followed him.
On the other side, Ye Jinshu, who had just walked out of Yaohua Palace, couldn't help but look back and took a deep look at the palace.
During the previous autumn hunt, he saw that she seemed jealous because of Concubine Yan, and thought that she had feelings for His Majesty.
But after spending some time together today, he found that his Mimi had not changed at all.
What Mimi has always longed for is a husband who can grow old with her and be devoted to her.
How could she truly fall in love with an emperor who had many concubines and perhaps did not truly put her first in his heart?
Ye Jinshu frowned.
Since His Majesty was able to use the trick of switching the dragon and the phoenix to allow the "Second Miss Shen Family" to enter the palace, why couldn't he also find a way to find a new identity for Mimi and help her escape from the palace walls?
At worst, let Concubine Shen in the palace "die suddenly" again, which is better than being trapped in the palace, guarding an emperor who does not treat her wholeheartedly, and constantly worrying about being plotted against by other emperors and concubines in the harem.
Thinking of this, a determination flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and left without looking back.
