He spoke the cruelest words in the coldest tone, like a ghost claw pulling Concubine De into hell, where she could never turn over again.
"No... the disaster will not affect my family. Duan Rongshi, you have already harmed your brother, why are you still not willing to let us go?"
If someone else said this, Concubine De might think it was just bluffing.
But he is Duan Rongshi, the Yama God of Death feared by everyone in Daliang!
Even Concubine De, who was in the deep palace, had heard about the good things he had done in the past.
How could she not be afraid?
In addition to her son, she also has the kindness of her mother's family to repay.
She can't drag down the entire banker anymore.
Defei cried so hard that her nose and tears were streaming down her face.
She climbed forward, grabbed Duan Rongshi's clothes and begged, "Xiaowu... please, look at how Mother Zhuang held you and coaxed you when you were little. She even played with you on the swing and with grasshoppers, and helped you learn to walk..."
"I taught you to speak..."
"I even sent you to the upper study..."
"Please, for the sake of these feelings, don't touch our banker, okay?"
"I am willing to bear all the mistakes myself."
"I am willing to die, and I only ask you to spare Xiaoliu's life and spare our banker!"
Duan Rongshi pulled out the hem of his clothes, a look of disgust on his face.
"Friendship?"
"That was before you viciously used your innocent appearance to kill my mother!"
"Mother Zhuang, do you still remember that you called me 'Sister'?"
Concubine De's expression froze.
Her memories seemed to have drifted away completely, drifting back to when she was thirteen years old and had just entered the palace.
"You, are you the princess of Da Chu? You are so beautiful."
"Thank you for saving me today. If it weren't for you, I would have made a fool of myself again."
"Really? I, can I call you by your name? Otherwise, I'd better call you Sister Qingyue?"
"Sister Qingyue, your place is more lively. No one has been to my place for ten days or half a month. That's why I like to come to your place."
"Sister Qingyue, you and the Emperor are like my sister and brother-in-law. I'm so envious."
"Sister Qingyue, is this the osmanthus wine you brewed yourself? It smells so good!"
"Sister Qingyue, the Emperor just drank some wine. I was planning to help him to the couch to rest, but he knew I wasn't you and pushed me away. The Emperor is really going too far!"
"Sister Qingyue, is this your child with the Emperor? He's so handsome. He looks just like you."
"His name is Ah Shi? Little Ah Shi, I am your Zhuang Mufei. I will treat you well in the future, just like your mother treated me well."
"No... Dad, Mom, I, I don't want to compete for favor. Sister Qingyue and the Emperor are deeply in love, and no one else can come between them. They are so loving, how could I do something to ruin their relationship?"
"I'm close to her... but if I do this, I'll lose Sister Qingyue!"
"Father and mother, please get up—Okay, I'll go and ask Sister Qingyue for help."
"Sister Qingyue, I'm already nineteen... Can I ask you for a favor? I want to be favored... Is that okay?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—please have mercy on Ling'er! Ling'er knows that you and Sister Qingyue are deeply in love, but Ling'er just wants a child—Your Majesty!!"
"Wow, sister Qingyue, His Majesty doesn't want me."
"Sister Qingyue, I've finally figured things out these days. I know you've tried your best to help me, but I can't force His Majesty, right?"
"You are the only one in His Majesty's heart. He hasn't touched any of the other women in the harem over the years. He wants to keep his body for you, and his heart is only filled with you. If I force him, won't it hurt our sisterly relationship?"
"Don't worry, I will persuade my parents at home."
"Father, Mother... I'm leaving this matter in your hands. These are all written by Concubine Yue. You must have an expert copy the letter so that His Majesty cannot tell the difference between the real and the fake."
"Father and Mother, His Majesty believes it, he believes it!"
"Father and Mother, don't be anxious. Once His Majesty no longer has Zong Zheng Qingyue in his heart, I, Zhuang Ling'er, will become the most special person in His Majesty's heart."
"Sister Qingyue, please come with me. His Majesty is coming to kill you—"
"It's true. I saw him holding a sword and smashing all your letters into pieces. Now he is heading towards Guifu Palace. Sister Qingyue, I don't want you to die, wuwuwu..."
"Sister Qingyue, this is not my fault."
"Who allowed you to monopolize His Majesty all the time? It's impossible for you to share a little of His Majesty's grace with us? Ultimately, it's because His Majesty doesn't love you enough."
"Zongzheng Qingyue, I don't want to meet you again in my next life."
A bucket of cold water poured down over my head.
Concubine De shuddered and woke up from her memories.
Li Qingluo dropped the bucket and dragged the dripping Defei backwards.
"Your name is Zhuang Ling'er, right?"
"What happened to your Majesty, Empress De? Even at this point, you still refuse to tell us?"
Defei: "No...I can't say..."
"I told you, but you're still going to die..."
"They still won't let me go..."
She muttered to herself, and her expression became terrified.
She looked up at Duan Rongshi in front of her.
That face gradually overlapped with the person in my memory.
She screamed, covered her ears, and banged her head hard on the ground: "I was wrong, I am sorry to Sister Qingyue, it was Ling'er who was wrong——"
