Chapter 199 The Emperor's "Atonement"
Upon hearing the emperor's order, Concubine Chun's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
She stared at the emperor with wide eyes, in disbelief, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
Her lips trembled as she tried to explain, but she found her voice became hoarse and weak. "Your Majesty, I was really framed. You can't just convict me based on their one-sided words! This is clearly a false accusation, and you can find a pretext for it!"
Concubine Chun screamed at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her cheeks and soaking her clothes.
However, the emperor seemed not to hear Concubine Chun's cries at all. His eyes were empty and cold, as if he had lost all emotions.
He sat quietly in the chair, motionless, like a sculpture.
What happened this afternoon seemed to have exhausted all the emperor's energy. He waved his hand tiredly, signaling the eunuchs around him to drag Concubine Chun away.
No, now it is Su who has agreed.
Then he stood up and slowly left the hall with heavy steps.
As the door of Zhongcui Palace slowly closed, Concubine Chun's figure disappeared into the darkness.
She collapsed to the ground, her vision blurred by tears. She muttered to herself, repeating the phrase "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime."
Her heart was filled with regret and resentment. She regretted why she fell in love with Fu Cha Fu Heng... why she pretended to be favored with dissatisfaction... why she framed Wei Yingluo... and even more why she hurt the Queen...
But she knew in her heart that this was all her own fault.
Su promised that there were only two options before her. One was to commit suicide immediately and leave a decent life for herself; the other was to give birth to the child and then plan for the future slowly...
On the other side, the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation slowly closed, but the emperor's eyes remained dull.
There was dead silence in the hall. The emperor felt increasingly heavy-hearted and felt a deep sense of self-blame and guilt rising in his heart.
He knew that as the king of a country, he had the responsibility to protect his subjects, especially the queen, his wife, who loved him so deeply.
But he failed to do so. Instead, he believed Su Jinghao again and again, causing her endless pain and torture.
“Do women really have two faces?” In the empty Yangxin Palace, words filled with doubt and resentment kept echoing, wandering in this silent space like ghosts.
The emperor, who was high above, was now in deep thought and anger, "Su Jinghao actually treated me like a fool and teased me at will!"
Just at this moment, Empress Fucha arrived. Her figure was like the warm sunshine in spring, bringing a touch of warmth to this slightly cold palace.
Qingyun was accompanying her. The master and servant walked slowly towards her with dignified, elegant and generous manners.
On the other hand, because of Wei Yingluo and Mingyu, the atmosphere in Changchun Palace is completely different.
The two were chattering about everything that had just happened in Zhongcui Palace. Their faces were filled with excitement and excitement. They even decided to hold a banquet in Changchun Palace to celebrate.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to bring you some heat-reducing soup, please drink some." Empress Fucha's gentle voice flowed like a clear spring as she persuaded softly.
Then she signaled Qingyun to put down the fire-reducing soup.
The anger on the emperor's face instantly melted away like ice and snow the moment he saw Empress Fucha.
He gently held Empress Fucha's hand, his eyes full of determination, and said slowly: "Okay, in this harem, you are the only one I can trust, Rongyin. You must stay with me for a long time, and don't leave me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Husband and wife are one. I will accompany you every day. As long as you need me, I will always be here." Empress Fucha smiled, and that bright smile seemed to dispel all the haze.
The emperor picked up the bowl of soup and drank it carefully, every sip seeming to be filled with attachment and trust for Empress Fucha.
Empress Fucha frowned, bowed slightly, and looked at the emperor tenderly with her beautiful eyes:
"Your Majesty, I should apologize to you. I did not supervise Concubine Chun well enough. I wanted to deal with this matter quietly, but she was pregnant with the dragon fetus, so I did not convict her. I had to put it aside for the time being."
After hearing this, the emperor quickly put down the soup spoon in his hand, stood up and helped Empress Fucha up. He sighed deeply and comforted her: "What does this have to do with you? You don't need to take those irrelevant people and things to heart. As long as I am here, you just need to rest assured and take care of your pregnancy."
Empress Fucha nodded slightly and smiled gently: "Yes, I thank the emperor for his understanding."
The emperor felt guilty when he saw this. He felt that he did not care enough about Empress Fucha, so he hurriedly added:
"If there are any concubines who act recklessly like this in the future, you can just deal with them directly. In this harem, you are the master, and everything is up to you."
He knew very well that Empress Fucha was of high moral character, kind to others and extremely tolerant. However, the endless stream of incidents in the harem had really caused her to suffer a lot of grievances.
Empress Fucha smiled slightly, reached out and took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of the emperor's mouth, and said softly: "Okay, I will remember it."
"Also, if you really can't do it, tell someone to tell Li Yu and I will take care of it for you." The emperor looked at Empress Fucha and finally couldn't bear to let her worry too much.
"Okay, okay, I understand everything. Your Majesty, you seem to be particularly concerned about me today." Empress Fucha covered her mouth and smiled.
The emperor looked at her and thought she was very cute. He reached out and scratched Empress Fucha's nose. "It's because I wronged the Empress because of Su's affair. This is my fault. I will definitely make it up to her in the future."
Empress Fucha was somewhat moved when she heard this. Pregnant women have unstable emotions and are most likely to shed tears.
The queen, as the mother of a country, was no exception and tears began to flow down her cheeks.
The emperor quickly sat down next to Empress Fucha, hugged her, carefully wiped her tears, and whispered his care and comfort to her.
"Why are you crying? But what did I say wrong?"
Empress Fucha smiled gently, "No, it's just that I suddenly feel very lucky that you care about me so much."
"Rongyin, I am your husband, so I must treat you well. Stop crying, or your eyes will get swollen." The emperor said in a gentle tone.
"Okay, I understand." Empress Fucha burst into laughter and snuggled in the emperor's arms, feeling his warmth and love.
Seeing this, Qingyun and Li Yu on the side lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at their intimate appearance, for fear of ruining this beautiful atmosphere.
They both thought to themselves: How great it would be if we could find a crack in the rock to crawl into!
