Chapter 327: Confess Your Sincerity
"My lady, my lady... there is no ghost, no ghost!"
Yan'er and another maid who served Concubine Liu jumped up and down, and ran all over the palace to catch Concubine Liu who was hiding in fear: "My lady, don't run away."
But Concubine Liu had her hair loose and her shoes off, and she had already run far away.
"Don't bother me, it's none of my business... it's none of my business..."
Concubine Yu and Concubine Wen were still competing for favor in front of Jiang Xinyue, and Concubine Liu suddenly rushed out with her hair loose, scaring them.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is that?"
Concubine Yu and Concubine Wen were so scared that they hugged each other, while Xi Que and Shuang Jiang stood in front of Jiang Xinyue. Seeing that they were about to hit her, Xiao Xiangzi pushed the screaming madman to the ground.
“No, no, no…”
Who would have thought that the concubine whose face could not be seen clearly fell to the ground and started to fight: “Don’t kill me, don’t arrest me, don’t kill me… Go find Jiang Xinyue… No! Go find Cheng Jieyu… Hahahaha… Go find Defei, kill them all! Kill them all, the emperor will be mine hahahaha…”
“Noble Lady Liu! Noble Lady Liu!”
Yan’er ran out in pursuit, and when she saw Jiang Xinyue, she quickly saluted and said in panic: “Royal Concubine, please forgive me, my mistress was frightened by the sunset that day. She had a high fever for three days after she fell into a coma. She became like this when she woke up. She didn’t mean to offend the Royal Concubine, please forgive me.”
“Is it Noble Lady Liu?”
“Why is she like this?”
"Hasn't it been confirmed that the corpse is Chu who had been missing from Xinzheku for a long time? When Noble Liu fell into the water, she was held tightly by Chu's skeleton and fainted from fright. She must have been unable to bear it and was frightened out of her wits, so she became insane!"
Noble Liu was detached, laughing and crying at the same time, her eyes were unfocused, her fear and madness were very real, not like she was acting.
If she had such god-like acting skills, she would have a place in the harem.
She was really crazy.
"Take her back and find an imperial physician to take a good look at your master. She is so young and has become crazy. How is she going to live for the next few decades?"
Yan'er's nose was sore and tears flowed down. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Xinyue, choking.
Unexpectedly, her master opposed the Imperial Concubine in every way, but in the end, she was the only one who cared about her master's future.
With the Imperial Concubine's words, she could ask the imperial physician to come and see her master.
But what no one expected was that the news of Liu Guiren's death came that night.
"How did she die?"
Wang Dequan lowered his head to answer the emperor's question: "It is said that after going to bed at night, Liu Guiren opened the door and ran out to jump into the lake."
Whether she jumped into the lake or because the night road was too dark and no one could see clearly who fell, no one knew.
But the people who reported it always had to clear themselves to avoid being punished. Then her suicide had nothing to do with them.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded: "Confer her the title of Liu Zhaoyi posthumously and bury her in the concubine's mausoleum."
The posthumous mourning is for the living to see.
Jiang Xinyue sighed, feeling a little sad.
It wasn't because of the death of Lady Liu, but because she had been in the palace for more than two years and had seen countless beautiful lives disappear. Zhang Yang's Xiao Ronghua and Lady Liu both ended up going crazy. How could one not sigh?
Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, if the souls of these women went to the afterlife, with more space to display their means and talents, would they still be so deliberate and revolve around a man?
The answer is definitely no.
"What's wrong?"
On the comfortable dragon bed, Emperor Xuanwu hugged Jiang Xinyue from behind and rubbed her neck: "Are you unhappy?"
"No..."
She said in a muffled voice, turned around and burrowed into the emperor's arms, raised her head and looked at him, and there seemed to be stars shining in her bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'll be honest with you. In fact, before I went to the palace, my feelings for you were not very deep. Those deep feelings, I can give to you, and I can also give to anyone who will become my husband..."
When he said this, the emperor's hand holding Jiang Xinyue had suddenly tightened, but he still gritted his teeth and said with a fake smile: "It doesn't matter, you continue to talk."
"When I was little, I was not favored and was often bullied. My mother was envied by the madam because of her extraordinary beauty. My memories of my childhood are very vague. I don't know whether I deliberately forgot the painful things that made me suffer or I really didn't remember them."
Warm tears wet the emperor's chest: "Now I think back, when I was little, it seems that I was either being beaten or on the way to being beaten. My father was not often at home, and my mother always asked me to endure it. When I grew up, my appearance was more beautiful than my mother's, and my father noticed me and began to cultivate me. At that time, I told myself that I would never I will never be hurt by anyone again."
Her tear-stained eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing some true feelings, and her eyes were filled with love: "You are the emperor, you are destined to have many women in your life. If I love you, I cannot accept your physical contact with other women, I will go crazy. So I shrink in my shell, unwilling to give my true heart, always with seven points of reservation. I think that if one day the emperor changes his mind, I can still guard my heart and not become too sad."
Jiang Xinyue played the three points of truth to the ten points of love, and anyone would be confused. No wonder Emperor Xuanwu fell.
He kissed her forehead with heartache: "You are right, your worries are normal. I really can't disband the six palaces, and it involves the previous dynasty. I don't want to cause unrest in the court and the country. But Yue'er, I promise you that your worries are unnecessary. I will love you with all my heart and grow old with you. In the future, no one can bully you with me, and I will protect you well."
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "I know that since the trip to Chenzhou, the emperor did not choose to sacrifice my cousin, but took my feelings into consideration and let the Qu family go. I know that the emperor is really good to me, and I... I have opened my heart to the emperor since that day."
If the emperor had not chosen to save Jiang Yuncai, the Qu family would not be as simple as handing over the golden medal of immunity from death.
The entire Qu family will pay the price for this, instead of losing nothing except the death-free gold medal as it is now.
The Qu family is still the largest clan in Chenzhou.
It can be said that the emperor gave up the opportunity to eliminate the local snake of the Qu family for Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue's heart is not made of stone either.
She was unwilling to be assimilated by this era, and unwilling to become a concubine who was self-pitying in the harem, but this era would not become an ideal world of equality between men and women and monogamy just because she was a time traveler. It
could not be changed...
Then, she would hold the emperor's heart tightly and use his sincerity to get what she wanted.
