Chapter 244 Heart to Heart
She cried and hated all night, and the next morning, she was forcibly sent out of the palace and left Beijing directly.
Du Qingzhi was desperate, but also knew that there was nothing he could do...
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she wasn't special in the emperor's eyes. The emperor had no special feelings for her at all. She had been deluded before!
Du Qingzhi left silently and never returned to the capital. As for whether she hated Xu Lanshan or not, Xu Lanshan didn't care at all.
For someone who will never have the chance or ability to hurt you, her love or hate is naturally unimportant.
What Xu Lanshan didn't expect was that the emperor would take the initiative to mention this matter to her.
"She has thoughts that she shouldn't have, so I must send her away. Keeping her in the palace will only bring disaster sooner or later. I can't let her stay here and hurt Lan'er."
Xu Lanshan was stunned when she heard this. She had never taken the initiative to ask or say anything about Du Qingzhi in front of him. She just felt awkward and embarrassed. Besides, nothing she said would be appropriate.
Who knew he would actually mention it on his own initiative.
Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help laughing at her silly look, and said, "Lan'er, tell me honestly, she has other feelings for me, do you know?"
Xu Lanshan looked away awkwardly, forcing a smile. "Well... maybe only the Emperor himself doesn't know about this? Who among the concubines in the palace wouldn't know about this?"
"You know that too? Why don't you tell me?"
Xu Lanshan suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable grievance and could not help but complain, "Your Majesty, I cannot accept what you said! She, she is your childhood sweetheart. She talked about how deeply they loved each other and how they had been separated for so long. Now, they have finally been reunited and she is so happy. How could I know that Your Majesty knew her feelings? I am afraid that everyone in the palace thinks that Your Majesty brought her back just to enter the palace!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was so angry at her series of "this and that" that he laughed, but he had no answer.
"It was my negligence. I should have explained it to Lan'er earlier!"
Xu Lanshan blurted out: "Why does Your Majesty want to explain this to me?"
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her with a deep and ardent gaze. Seeing that she wanted to look away, he covered her face with both hands and forcibly turned her around, forcing her to look him face to face: "Lan'er, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Xu Lanshan felt a little numb on her scalp, and also a little sour and bitter. She said softly: "What if I really don't know? What if I pretend not to know? Your Majesty should know that what I think is true or false is not important, or rather, meaningless. Whatever Your Majesty says is what it is..."
"Do I allow you to say it?"
"Really?" Xu Lanshan said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, please don't try to coax me. If I say it, and it doesn't suit your wishes, you will blame me!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was at a loss for words: "You have no conscience! How could I ever treat you like this?"
Xu Lanshan didn't appreciate these affectionate and loving words at all, and she said bluntly, "That's because I've never said anything excessive!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was so speechless that he couldn't help but bite her lips lightly. "No wonder everyone says Lan'er is so sharp-tongued, huh? She is indeed sharp-tongued. She even makes me so angry!"
Xu Lanshan rubbed against his chest and giggled, "I was just joking with you, Your Majesty, please don't mind it!"
"I'm not kidding, Lan'er, do you really have nothing to say? No matter what, I won't blame Lan'er."
"real?"
"real!"
Xu Lanshan felt that he seemed a little strange today, as if... he had realized something. She could vaguely sense that he seemed to be expecting something from her.
Her heart was stirred by his conversation, and in a fit of turmoil, she said with a half-hearted smile, "If I were to ask His Majesty to dismiss the six concubines and leave me alone, would His Majesty not blame me?"
Is it possible to do it?
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her with burning eyes, smiled, and holding her face, said: "I cannot dismiss the six palaces and keep only Lan'er, but from now on I only want Lan'er, how about that?"
Xu Lanshan opened her eyes wide and was stunned...
The thrill of the roller coaster-like ups and downs made her unable to recover for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed, feeling more relaxed than ever before. "I'm serious. Too many people would be too troublesome. It's better to have only Lan'er. There aren't many left in the palace anyway. As long as they behave themselves, that's fine. I don't mind letting them enjoy the glory. If they don't behave themselves, I won't be polite either. From now on, I won't select or confer new titles! I only speak with Lan'er, and my words are golden and will never change. Lan'er will know from now on that I'm not just trying to fool you."
When Du Qingzhi was forcibly dragged away, she turned her head with tears in her eyes and complained to him, accusing Concubine Chen of being a foxy woman, of monopolizing the emperor alone, of being jealous, and of not being a good person at all.
"Your Majesty, you have always been very clear-headed. How could you be so bewitched by her? She is not a good person at all! Your Majesty, she is jealous, narrow-minded, and she only wants to dominate you. Why do you tolerate her? Why do you fall for her tricks? From now on, do you want no one else but her? You are the Emperor!"
Emperor Yuan Yong didn't come to Lianyi Palace last night, but he had a lot on his mind. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of his Consort Chen and Du Qingzhi's words of criticism that were full of regret.
After thinking about it, he actually felt that what Du Qingzhi said was not entirely wrong. Lan'er liked him very much, and he also liked her very much. So she was jealous and domineering, and he didn't want to even look at others. Isn't this normal?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing if she was the only one.
Thinking back, he suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had visited other concubines or had sex with other concubines. Only Lan'er...
If that's the case, then let's just keep going! Why should he put himself in a difficult position and do something so-called to balance the harem? If he doesn't like it, then he shouldn't do it!
Having a railing is enough.
Unconsciously, his heart had no room for anyone else.
After realizing this, Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't wait for dawn, waiting to come to Lianyi Palace and confide in her.
Xu Lanshan looked at him for a long time without saying a word.
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled: "Stupid? Huh?"
"No, no!" Xu Lanshan felt sweet in her heart, and she curled her lips and smiled: "I am so happy! Your Majesty, there is only you in my heart. If Your Majesty can treat me like this, then I have no regrets in this life!"
