Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 30 The Way I Love You (Part [-])

It's almost winter, and the weather is very cold.

The concubine Zhen suffered a lot, and the imperial physician has already informed the emperor that the time limit may be only a few days.

After Huo Jiheng said that to Sheng Yi, he turned around as if nothing happened, and became amiable again.

Fickle man!
Today, Shengyi is studying ink for the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's handsome face, Sheng Yi's heart was pounding.

In order to behave normally, Sheng Yi almost held his breath and straightened up, not daring to vent his breath.

Seeing Sheng Yi's appearance, Huo Jiheng asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

She shook her head vigorously, "No—no."

His face flushed, thinking is it so obvious?
"In a while, I'm going to see the concubine Zhen, you can go with me." Huo Jiheng's face was a little dignified.

Kindly replied: "Yes."

The concubine Zhen looks like a very gentle woman, but she didn't expect such a fate, and she can't help but sigh when thinking about it.

She kindly prepared a jade pendant from the warehouse and handed it over to Huo Jiheng.

"This is?" Huo Jiheng looked at Yupei and looked at Shengyi in puzzlement.

Kindly replied softly: "Elder Brother is the most worrying thing for Empress Zhen, you give this piece of jade pendant to elder brother, it is also for Empress Zhen's peace of mind."

"You are thoughtful." Huo Jiheng took the jade pendant, feeling a little guilty.

With good intentions, she quietly accompanied Huo Jiheng to Zhongcui Palace.

Not to mention, the emperor's favor will be fully reflected wherever it is. Originally, Zhongcui Palace was a bit dilapidated, but since Xiao Zuo Jing received the favor, the House of Internal Affairs has come here more frequently, often sending some supplies within the quota, and even the inner room has been repaired much more gorgeously.

But the plaques in Zhongcui Palace are much brighter.

The east hall has been completely repaired, and the concubine Zhen couldn't get used to living elsewhere, so she moved back.

"Good luck, Your Majesty." Amin's eyes were slightly red.

Huo Jiheng felt oppressed. When he walked into the inner hall, the concubine Zhen couldn't get up anymore.

"Your majesty." The imperial concubine's breath was weak and her voice was weak.

Huo Jiheng couldn't see such a scene, and felt a bitterness in his heart. Although she was a Gouli woman, after entering the palace, the concubine Zhen was really virtuous and gracious. She never complained or dissatisfied, and never showed any rivalry for favor. Whenever she came, she was always calm and gentle.Thinking that she was about to leave, my heart ached a little.

"Lie down." Huo Jiheng stepped up to the edge of the bed, sat on one side, and held the concubine's hand.

At this moment, the concubine Zhen looked pale and weak, as if she could take away the remaining breath at any time.

"The concubine can no longer serve the emperor." Tears fell from the corners of the concubine's eyes.

"I'm sorry for you. You have suffered all these years." At this moment, Huo Jiheng never thought of doing anything for the concubine Zhen.

The concubine Zhen shook her head, "The emperor treats his concubines well, and Pei Lin is the best gift the emperor can give to his concubines. In this life, my concubines are satisfied."

Speaking of the only son, the concubine Zhen was full of happiness, Huo Jiheng nodded movedly, "Peilin is very obedient and intelligent, just like you, I have already arranged for Xian'an to be his young master, and after the spring begins, I will take him to the Shang study."

The concubine Zhen was so grateful that she couldn't express it in words. Lin Xian'an was a well-known virtuous official in the court, and with him as her elder brother and young assistant, at least the concubine did not have to worry about her son's future future. This was the best result that the concubine could think of.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubine Zhen choked up and said.

Huo Jiheng patted her hand, "Peilin is my eldest son, and I will treat him well."

While talking, Pei Lin twisted her body and ran in, her eyes eagerly looked for Er Niang, and she kept calling: "Er Niang, Er Niang, Pei Lin is here."

Panting, Pei Lin saw Er Niang lying on the bed with a worried face, and then saw Huang Ama's figure in a blink of an eye, obviously a little timid, "Huang Ama."

Only then did Huo Jiheng realize that Pei Lin had really grown up, and he had neglected his growth.

He beckoned to Pei Lin and said softly, "Come here."

Pei Lin bit her lip, as if she took a lot of courage before walking towards Huo Jiheng, "Huang Ama."

His eyes looked at the concubine Zhen unconsciously, and tears dripped onto the edge of the bed like pearls with broken strings, "Is it hurting, Peilin, please?"

As she said that, Pei Lin held up Er Niang's hand carefully, and was about to brag to Er Niang.

The concubine's tears became even worse.

Whoever looked at this scene couldn't move his face, and wiped away his tears with good intentions, only hating God for being too cruel.

"You have to listen to Huang Ama from now on, do you know, don't be naughty, don't be naughty." The concubine didn't say a word, it seemed that she had exhausted a lot of energy, and to abandon the child and leave, for her, it hurt more than a cramp.

Peilin cried with tearful eyes, "Is Erniang leaving Peilin? Peilin only wants Erniang."

Huo Jiheng took out the jade pendant from his arms, gently hugged Peilin in his arms, and slowly put it on for him, "Er Niang loves Pei Lin very much, and Huang Ama will love Pei Lin very much too. Now, Er Niang is tired, let's be obedient and let Er Niang sleep for a while, okay?"

Pei Lin reluctantly looked at Er Niang, then at Yu Pei, and said sensiblely: "E Niang is tired, Pei Lin has to be good, so that Er Niang can feel at ease."

The concubine Zhen caressed Peilin's little hands and face, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, what Huang Ama said is that Erniang will always love Peilin the most."

After the nanny carried Pei Lin away with red eyes, the concubine Zhen became so limp and powerless.

Huo Jiheng took the concubine Zhen into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will take care of Peilin."

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Yunzhen is gone..."

Probably after hearing the most comforting words, the concubine Zhen's hand slowly lowered...

"Concubine Zhen!" Huo Jiheng's eyes were slightly red, and his tone was serious.

Because the concubine Zhen was a noble daughter of Gouri, King Gouri had to be notified about her funeral.

This kind of sadness has been lingering on Huo Jiheng, and he couldn't get it out even when he returned to Zhengxin Hall.

He lay quietly on the bed, no one knew what he was thinking.

Shengyi squatted down and looked at Huo Jiheng, feeling a little distressed, "Your Majesty, please eat as much as you want."

Huo Jiheng shook his head, turned over and lay on his side, looking at Shengyi, "I'm a failure, right?"

Sheng Yi quickly shook his head, "Why does the emperor think so, it's nothing."

"At that time, I watched her slowly close her eyes, and I couldn't tell. For so many years, she had never complained or hated me, but the more she was like this, the more guilty I felt. Facing Pei Lin, this guilt was even worse." Huo Jiheng closed his eyes, his tone quite dejected.

Sheng Yi knelt down like this, looked at Huo Jiheng, word by word, and said firmly: "The concubine Zhen never complained to you, because she knows that her husband is the king of a country, he is a person who seeks the welfare of the people, and is the most worthy of being a king in this world. She can't share her worries. She can only use her own way to protect the emperor. This is the concubine Zhen's happiness, not her sorrow."

In the sincere words of kindness, Huo Jiheng had a look in his eyes.

In order to take care of Huo Jiheng's emotions, he kindly inquired a few times, and found out the favorite of his elder brother Peilin, and sent someone to send him some after a while, telling him that it was a gift from Er Niang, and repeatedly asked the palace servants who served Peilin, if anyone bullied him with this, he would not be lightly forgiven.

[Yingbao: What are you drawing? 】

He said kindly: "Curve to save the country."
