After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 125: Castration and Becoming a Eunuch
After hearing what Empress Lü said, Zhao Qiyue collapsed and asked, "But why should we control the fate of others? Just because he likes me, should we drive him out of the capital?"

Empress Lu was not surprised by her reaction. She stared at her with burning eyes and said, "I know you might be reluctant to part with me. I have thought of a way to have the best of both worlds."

"He should no longer be in the Imperial Guards. He should stay in the palace and work there. What do you think?"

Zhao Qiyue didn't react at first, but when he realized what Empress Lu meant, his face suddenly turned pale.

What kind of job can there be in the palace? The only thing is to be a eunuch!

The Queen Mother wanted Pei Zhuo to be cleansed to prevent future troubles.

Zhao Qiyue broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that her mother always kept her word.

She shook her head and pleaded, "Mother, he is really a good man. Please don't treat him like this, okay? I beg you."

Empress Lü nodded slowly: "Go to the border, or be a eunuch, it's your choice."

Zhao Qiyue's heart was in a mess, but she held on to a glimmer of hope and said, "He is a grown-up, not a child. How can he do whatever I say? Even if I let him go, what if he doesn't want to?"

Empress Lu sneered, seeing through her trick at a glance: "It depends on what you do. Let me be frank. I will only give you three days. If he still doesn't leave after three days, I will summon him to the palace. Since he loves you so deeply, I think he will not mind."

"Don't think I'm being ruthless. In this world, no one cares more about you and your brother than I do. Love is always false. You'll understand it later."

*
Zhao Qiyue left in a daze, having made a decision in his heart.

Pei Zhuo is an independent person and he shouldn't be constrained by her.

If he gets hurt because of her, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Besides, letting him go might not necessarily be a bad idea.

After leaving, he should forget her, start over, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life. *
That night, Pei Zhuo arrived as expected.

His arms were bulging, he must have brought her something again.

He was just like that. Every time they met, he would give her something, either food or some small gadgets. It seemed like he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't buy her something.

Today, it is a crabapple flower carved from jade.

Last month, Zhao Qiyue complained to him that the crabapple flowers would wither once the season was over, and it would be great if there was a way to keep them blooming.

Pei Zhuo placed the jade on Zhao Qiyue's dressing box without noticing that her expression was different from usual.

"I just learned it, so it might not look good. Next time, I'll make you a bigger one so it looks good on the table."

Zhao Qiyue stood behind him, looking at the scars on his hands from the carving knife, and said with a hard heart:

"No need for that. There happened to be a jadeite glass flower in the dowry that Shen Jie sent. It would be perfect to put it here."

Pei Zhuo froze, as if he didn't expect her to mention Shen Jie. After all, in their past interactions, he seemed to be the one who was tacitly ignored.

Pei Zhuo suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and turned to look at her: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After saying that, he tried to pull her hand, but Zhao Qiyue dodged him.

Zhao Qiyue said with a serious expression:
"I'm getting married soon, and I think it's necessary to solemnly say that we won't meet again in the future."
