The emperor looked at Sultanruo in astonishment, wanting to ask her if she had not forgiven him yet?
Before the question was uttered, Sudan Ruo took the initiative to explain:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not fully recovered yet. The imperial physician said that in order to get pregnant again in the future, I need to rest for a while."
In fact, with the system, Sultan Ruo's body would have recovered long ago, but she just wanted to remind the emperor that her child was lost because of the fighting among the women in the harem.
At the same time, she also wanted to let the emperor know that she could still get pregnant, but the women in the harem could not.
Besides, her goal has not been achieved yet, so naturally she has to whet the emperor's appetite.
The emperor stopped when he heard this and began to comfort Sultan:
"I know you're heartbroken because you lost your child, but the imperial physician said we'll have children in the future. Besides, I've already avenged you and your child. From now on, I'll definitely protect you and prevent you from getting hurt again."
When Sultan Ruo heard this, tears filled his eyes. The emperor saw tears in Sultan Ruo's eyes and hugged Sultan Ruo with heartache.
Sultan Ruo lay in the emperor's arms and said softly:
"I know your majesty's painstaking efforts and your feelings for me, but I am afraid.
There are too many women in the harem, and I am afraid I can't defend myself. This time, it was my child who protected me and died for me. Next time, I may never see Your Majesty again.
Hearing Sultanruo's words, the emperor thought that Sultanruo would leave him one day, his heart tightened, and he hugged Sultanruo even tighter.
Since being with Sudanruo, he has felt a happiness he has never felt before, and he dare not imagine a life without Sudanruo.
Sensing the emperor's mood swings, Sultan Ruo continued, "Your Majesty, would you be willing to...disband the harem for me?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. Although he did not like the women in his harem, he had never thought of dismissing them. After all, if the emperor's women left the palace, no one would dare to marry them again.
The emperor frowned. Although he would grant the Sultan's every request, this matter was of great importance and he needed to think carefully about it.
If the Sultan saw the emperor's expression, she would know that he was fighting a psychological battle. She had never thought that this would be easy and was prepared for a protracted war with the emperor.
After all, I am the only one who can give birth to children for the emperor. If the emperor has no children, his throne will always be coveted by others. I have enough chips in my hand.
Sultan Ruo put on an expression of disappointment and disheartenment, but he had already anticipated the result, and took the initiative to leave the emperor's arms.
"I have overstepped my bounds. Your Majesty, please pretend you didn't hear what I said! I am a little tired and want to rest."
The warmth of Sultan Ruo in the emperor's arms had not yet dissipated, and the air around him was still filled with Sultan Ruo's body fragrance. Hearing this, the emperor felt empty in his heart, but he didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere between the two.
After staying still for a long time, he could only utter: "My beloved concubine, have a good rest. I will come to see you when I have time."
If the Sultan bows his head without looking at the emperor and salutes politely,
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
There was a sense of alienation in their behavior.
Seeing that Sultan Ruo seemed to want to draw a clear line between himself and the emperor, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife. He looked at Sultan Ruo deeply and left as if he was escaping.
After the emperor left, she was still uneasy, always thinking of Sultan Ruo's expression of suppressed disappointment and her distant attitude.
Seeing that the emperor was still concerned about Sultan Ruo, Eunuch Zhao spoke to test the emperor's thoughts:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is too overbearing. Your Majesty is the Emperor, and it's normal for you to have three thousand beauties in your harem. Besides, you no longer visit other concubines. She actually wants you to disband your harem. This is simply nonsense!"
When the emperor heard what Eunuch Zhao said, he frowned and said coldly:
"Who allowed you to comment on the master behind his back? She just loves me too much. If she had no feelings for me, why would she care if I had other women?"
"Besides, having her alone is enough for me. Where there are many women, there are many troubles. You talked about the master behind his back, go and get twenty lashes of the cane. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily!"
Eunuch Zhao was shocked. He never expected that the emperor was so deeply in love with the imperial concubine that he actually wanted to disband the harem just because of a few words from the imperial concubine.
If the imperial concubine wants something in the future, the emperor should give it to her!
Eunuch Zhao quickly responded to the emperor's words and went down to accept the punishment. At the same time, he felt more respect for Sultan Ruo.
Maybe if the Sultan can really sit on the throne of queen in the future, I have to behave well in front of the concubine and must not offend this noble lady.
During dinner, the emperor went to Sultanruo again. When he saw Sultanruo again, she had regained her usual composure and was taking good care of the emperor during his meals.
But the emperor could feel that the Sultan had lost some affection for him, and that she took care of him as if she was fulfilling her responsibilities as the emperor's concubine, rather than treating him as her husband as before.
The emperor could not accept this gap and wanted to take the relationship to the next level with Sultan, but was rejected by Sultan due to poor health.
The emperor felt very uncomfortable as he could only look at the beauty in front of him but not touch her.
If it was before he met Sudan Ruo, he might not have reacted so strongly.
But the emperor had already tasted Sultan's kindness, and the two had been together every day for so long that he was anxious and restless.
But Sudan was very patient and had an attitude that said, "Don't touch her until you have dealt with your women."
A few days later, the emperor finally lost his patience and went to the empress dowager to tell her that he planned to disband the harem.
The Queen Mother was very opposed to it. How could a king of a country have only one concubine?!
The emperor persuaded the queen mother that if the Sultan was a blessed man chosen by God, he himself had no children for so many years, and only if the Sultan succeeded in getting pregnant could he be pregnant.
The child was lost because of the jealousy among the women in the harem.
The emperor also expressed to the empress dowager that he only wanted Sultanruo from now on, and that it would be a waste of his life for other concubines to stay in the palace.
It would be better to give them a sum of money to live out the rest of their lives and let them pursue their own lives.
The Queen Mother thought that if the Sultan could give birth to children for the Emperor, and considering the Emperor's firm attitude, she relented.
As soon as the Queen Mother agreed, the Emperor immediately went to find Sultan Ruo and told her that he planned to disband the harem.
The Sultan knew that the emperor would agree to her request sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She had planned to add fuel to the fire if the emperor did not agree, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
Since the emperor had compromised for his own sake, the Sultan naturally had to give the emperor some sweet treats, and that night he took the initiative to let the emperor stay overnight in his palace.
A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. The emperor had abstained from sex for one or two months, and this time it was like breaking the seal. The sultan was almost tormented by him.
I secretly cursed the dog emperor for being a good-for-nothing. How could a man who was almost thirty still be so energetic?
