Chapter 130: Delusion
Your Majesty... please?
Emperor Xuanwu was so angry that his teeth tightened and loosened, and his face turned red with anger, but he resisted the urge to kick Xi Que out.
He knew how much Concubine Zhen liked this maid, and he didn't want to add fuel to the fire between the two at this time.
"Hmph!"
With a muffled groan, Emperor Xuanwu had already left Hexi Palace. The palace servants outside heard Concubine Zhen scolding the emperor, and now they saw the emperor coming out with a stern face and anger, and they all knelt on the ground.
Without waiting for the emperor to warn the palace maid who was as bold as her master, the door of Hexi Palace closed with a "bang".
Wang Dequan had just taken the trace remover gel from Concubine Liang's palace, and he was in a hurry, just in time to see the emperor being driven out of Hexi Palace.
The palace servants reminded him with terrified eyes that the emperor might be in a bad mood at the moment, and he must not provoke him.
Wang Dequan hesitated for a while, but still walked over with light steps and presented the trace remover gel with both hands: "Your Majesty, this trace remover gel..."
Emperor Xuanwu turned around and wanted to knock on the door, but thinking of Jiang Xinyue's look in front of so many palace servants, he retracted his hand and looked at the bottle of trace remover gel, which he didn't like no matter how he looked at it.
He grabbed the cold bottle and made a throwing gesture.
"Hey, emperor..."
Wang Dequan was so scared that he shouted half a sentence, and swallowed the rest back.
No way!
Concubine Liang gave the stain remover because she thought the emperor was injured. It would be a pity if it was wasted!
The fingers holding the bottle had turned white. Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Hexi Palace with an unclear expression. His violently heaving chest gradually calmed down. His red eyes closed and opened again.
Finally, on the steps at the entrance of Hexi Palace, there was only a small round-bellied, wide-mouthed green porcelain bottle left. The emperor's procession had gone far away.
"Did he leave? Did he leave?"
Xi Que leaned against the door with her legs weak. Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xuanzi helped her to peek outside: "It seems he left."
"He left, he left..."
Xi Que patted her chest and opened the door a crack. She quickly brought in the bottle of stain remover and asked Xiao Xuanzi and Jiang Chuan to close the door. Then she breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. The emperor's eyes were too scary. I didn't dare to look up the whole time. Did the emperor want to kick me to death?"
Xi Que was the kind of person who would sharpen her knife and point it at the emperor if her mother dared to hand him a knife.
"Xique, you were so brave just now. I admire you."
"Yes! Before we could react, you had already walked over to ask the emperor to leave."
She didn't ask the emperor to leave, she was clearly asking him to get out.
And she closed the door so quickly, it was almost as if the words "get out" were written on her face.
Jiang Chuan asked himself, he didn't have the guts.
Xi Que laughed awkwardly: "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
God is my conscience, she didn't mean that, she was just afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on her. If she was kicked out by a dragon, she didn't want to vomit blood like Nanny Gui, so she quickly closed the door.
This way he won't be kicked, right?!
In the bedroom, Nanny Li was still persuading Jiang Xinyue earnestly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for being too talkative. The emperor is the best to you in the whole palace. He is the Son of Heaven and the master of the world. It's too much for you to ask him to be with you alone."
Even if the emperor himself is willing, the civil and military officials will not agree!
If it really comes to that, I'm afraid the emperor will be forced to execute Concubine Zhen himself.
"When did I ask him to be with me alone?"
Jiang Xinyue wiped her tears, "I knew from the day I entered the palace that I would have to share the same husband with a group of women for the rest of my life. But...but I didn't think of giving my heart to others. It's because the emperor is...too good to me, that's why I...I..."
She cried and couldn't speak, "Mammy, you are also a woman. Do you think that if a man really loves you, can he have room for other women in his heart? He will always put you in dangerous situations. When you are in danger, he can still weigh the pros and cons. Does he really love you?"
It sounds like the emperor is really a scumbag.
Nanny Li sighed, "My queen, women who enter the palace cannot talk about true love. It is enough that the emperor favors you. Which woman in the palace lives on true love? They all live on favor." Those
who rely on true love will not live for more than a few years, and they will break their hearts to death.
There is only one emperor, but there are so many concubines in the harem. Everyone wants the emperor's true love. How many people can share his heart?
What Concubine Zhen wants is the emperor's entire heart, and she doesn't want to share it with anyone!
Too greedy, too delusional.
"If I expect to be pampered, why should I give my heart to him?"
Jiang Xinyue sniffed and sighed: "Maybe I am too greedy! At the beginning, I just thought that it would be great to accompany him like this. Later, he was nice to me, and I thought that he liked me a little. Later, he pampered me, and I thought, can I ask for more? He let me fall deeper and deeper, and then broke all my expectations. Aunt Li, I can't accept it. I thought there was love between him and me! Love...can't it only be given to one person?"
If everyone can love, then what kind of love is it?
Love that can be easily promised to anyone is too cheap.
Emperor Xuanwu was sitting in the study, preparing to review the memorial as usual. However, the emperor, who usually handled official business very quickly, had been sitting with the memorial for half an hour today, and his posture had not changed, as if he was frozen.
His brows were tightly knitted, and the words that Jiang Xinyue had scolded him kept echoing in his mind... Not really scolding... it should be more accurate to say that it was an accusation.
"Wang Dequan, what do you think... of me?"
"This..."
Wang Dequan knew what he wanted to ask, but answered irrelevantly: "I dare not say anything else, but the emperor must be a wise ruler who works hard and loves the people. The people are blessed to have a ruler like you."
"I want you to say something else, such as whether I am a good husband to women?"
Wang Dequan thought: I dare not say anything else, why do you still want me to say it? Isn't this bullying?
He chuckled and said, "I am physically impaired and cannot be a woman's husband. I have never seen how other men treat their wives. I have only seen the emperor, and this..."
There is no comparison!
After talking for a long time, no one could get to the point. Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and said, "Go down. I am upset to see you standing here. I cannot approve any memorials."
Wang Dequan was wronged to death!
The emperor could not approve any memorials because of Concubine Zhen!
What does it have to do with him?
