Chapter 151 Writing a Letter
After a while, everyone in the hall retreated, and soon only Quan Minghe and Shen Yuning were left sitting on the dragon throne.
Shen Yuning said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I will not disturb you from reviewing the memorials. I will also take my leave."
When she stood up, Quan Minghe pulled her back and held her on his lap.
He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you going back?"
But Shen Yuning still had a cold face, her body seemed a little stiff, and she seemed strange to him, as if there was an invisible gap between them.
"You are so angry with me because of Zhao Qizi?"
"Then why did Your Majesty want to kill Zhao Qizi?"
Shen Yuning raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Did Zhao Qi torture the emperor's concubine? He should be put to death according to the law."
Quan Minghe's eyes became dark and unclear. Seeing her defending Zhao Qizi so much, the murderous intent in his heart was like weeds and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.
He brought Zhao Qizi into the palace because he thought she could lure out the spies from Jinlin Kingdom lurking in the harem.
Furthermore, after investigation, he found that she had a clean background and did not intentionally approach him when she came to Fanyin Temple, so he spared her life.
But now it seems that Zhao Qizi has ulterior motives and keeping him will ultimately be a disaster.
Shen Yuning's eyes suddenly turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks.
He was determined to kill Zhao Qizi. The last glimmer of hope in Shen Yuning's heart that maybe he was not the one who killed her child was completely shattered at this moment.
Quan Minghe was shocked.
"Why are you crying?"
"Will Your Majesty lie to me?"
Shen Yuning looked at him with tears in her eyes and suddenly asked this question.
Quan Minghe was stumped by the sudden question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He did lie to her, but some of the lies were for her own good.
When Shen Yuning saw that he had already revealed the answer by pursing his thin lips, she suddenly felt sad.
"I understand. Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything more. I only ask Your Majesty to spare Zhao Qizi's life. Is that okay?"
No matter what, Zhao Qizi cannot lose his life because of his child.
Her child had a miserable life, being deprived of the right to come into the world by his own father. How could she let him bear the responsibility of human lives even after his death?
After a moment's silence, Quan Minghe nodded, agreeing to her request.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But as soon as she said this, she sneered in her heart.
Haha, given Quan Minghe’s personality, will he really keep Zhao Qizi?
At the beginning, didn't he promise solemnly to protect the royal heir in his womb? But what was the result?
He gave her the abortion pills without her knowledge.
This time, I'm afraid I'm just trying to please myself.
However, this was exactly what she wanted. Since Zhao Rourou had betrayed her, did she still want to live?
Li Ming came back in only after Shen Yuning left the Weiyang Palace.
He spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, there is solid evidence that Zhao Qizi beat the imperial concubine. In addition to the testimony of the palace maids in Changle Palace, even the whip used to whip Wang Liangren was found to be Zhao Qizi's. There is both human and material evidence."
Can……
Concubine Shen tried her best to protect Zhao Qizi, and this was not a simple question of right or wrong.
It seems like a choice for His Majesty, whether to side with Concubine Shen or with the former favorite concubine Wang Liangren.
Li Ming sighed inwardly.
I didn't expect that Zhao Qizi could actually coax Concubine Shen around.
Quan Minghe was also upset.
Such a little boy named Zhao Qizi is really brave.
However, Quan Minghe has never been threatened by others. How could someone with evil intentions like Zhao Qizi continue to stay with her?
His eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Kill her. Don't let Concubine Shen find out anything unusual. Send a female secret guard to pretend to be her for a while. After a while, create the illusion that she drowned and deal with it more cleanly."
Li Ming replied: "Yes."
This is your Majesty's character.
After Shen Yuning returned to Yaohua Palace from Weiyang Palace, she went straight to the study.
Xitong followed her into the study, and stood obediently by her side grinding ink for her.
While grinding, he asked softly, "Madam, are you going to write something?"
Shen Yuning's eyes fell on the spread paper, his expression indifferent, and he only replied: "Write a letter to Ye Jinshu."
After saying that, he picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write.
I saw the beautiful handwriting slowly appearing on the paper.
"I am glad to see your face in this letter. I hope you are well and everything goes well.
Recalling the past, when I was sitting on the lap of my parents and enjoying the happiness of family, those moments every morning and evening were ordinary yet precious scenes.
Later, she entered a wealthy and powerful family and was doted on by the emperor. She originally wanted to wait for the birth of her unborn child to continue the family's glory and live up to the family's expectations.
However, the world is impermanent, just like waking up from a dream.
The misfortune that befell the child before he was born was caused by the person next to him.
All the past events are but an illusory moon in the water and empty flowers in the mirror. They will shatter when touched and no trace can be found. All I feel is sadness.
As time goes by, even though the palace walls remain the same and it remains as prosperous as before, it seems like a desolate place to me and I no longer have any desire to be attached to it.
My cousin and I have known each other since childhood and have a deep friendship. I am writing this letter today to ask you to take good care of my parents and let them enjoy their remaining years in peace.
My parents are old and I am trapped in the deep palace. I have many difficulties. I only hope that my cousin can fulfill my filial duties on my behalf.
As for my cousin, I hope that for the rest of your life, you will always be surrounded by beautiful scenery, accompanied by a good person, greet the morning glow, enjoy the mist and clouds in the evening, and live a free and easy life. Don't let me disturb your mood and waste your youth.
I have said all I can. The paper is short but my feelings are deep. I have put all my thoughts into words.
May my cousin take care of himself and be happy every year. ”
After Shen Yuning finished writing, she put down her pen and looked at the contents on the paper quietly.
Finally, before signing her name, she thought for a moment.
He raised his hand and drew a white flower of the other shore.
The image of the red spider lily blooming on the paper exudes a unique kind of beauty.
White red spider lily represents the beauty of death and hopeless love. It is a sad memory and also a letter from heaven.
Shen Yuning folded the letter carefully, put it into the envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Xitong.
"Hurry up and send it to Ye Jinshu."
Xitong took the envelope and replied, "Here."
Shen Yuning has always loved flowers. Ye Jinshu has known her since childhood and naturally knows her preferences very well.
Know that different flowers represent different meanings.
When Ye Jinshu received the letter and saw the white red spider lilies, even if he didn't know the deep meaning at first, he would definitely figure it out as he was always meticulous.
Naturally, she would not say directly in the letter that she wanted to commit suicide.
But his parents' instructions and blessings to him all revealed his suicidal intent.
If Ye Jinshu rushed to Beijing as fast as he could, he could arrive in five days at the earliest.
