The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 125 - The Heartbreak (12)

Shi Jingju said: "But the Empress, she worships Buddha all the year round, I'm afraid she doesn't want to get involved in this harem matter again."

"Since the Ai family has spoken, she is willing." The queen mother waved her hand: "Let's talk about this today, the Ai family is exhausted, so let's kneel down."

Shi Jingrou still wanted to speak, but because of the empress dowager's dismissal order, she swallowed all the words. Everyone knew that she had been the assistant to the sixth house before that, and now that she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she had a very good chance of ascending to the throne.But she forgot, the current queen's surname is Wan, and it is impossible for the queen mother to let her niece step down so easily.

Now that the empress has regained control of the harem, it will mean that all the power she has now will be wiped out. Thinking of this, she clenched her fists secretly.

After leaving the Empress Dowager's Hall, Mu Yanran and Shi Jingrou had already returned to the palace, and Xia Lanyue followed Su Chen all the way. Since he left the Empress Dowager's Hall, he didn't say a word, and he didn't ride the dragon chariot, just walked along the winding road. In the winding corridor.

It was quiet along the way, as if both of them were enjoying the silence at this moment.

The east wind was blowing past, the sky was already gray, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Su Chen finally stopped and looked back at Xia Lanyue who had been following closely behind her.

Xia Lanyue stopped her pace, met Shang Suchen's indifferent gaze, her heart throbbed hotly as if she had been hit by something.This was the first time she felt this way when facing Su Chen.

"I know that you want to hand over the final decision of concubine concubine to the queen mother because you know that the queen mother will definitely not agree. The queen mother is also from a humble background. Even if the father loves her so much, she is only a concubine Wangui and has never had a title, so She can't allow you to have a title." Su Chen's tone was as calm as water, calm, as if he could see through everything.

"Since the emperor knows, why does he still contradict the queen mother?" Xia Lanyue asked in a low voice.

"What I said, I will do."

"Then if the queen mother insists on refusing to allow it, what should the emperor do? Are you really planning to abdicate?" Xia Lanyue asked here, and before he could answer, she continued: "Actually, the emperor is only using the throne to threaten the queen mother. Are you Emperor, so you must defend your power and tell the civil and military courts that although the queen mother is your mother, she is only a woman, and the person who can really control life and death is you, not the queen mother."

Su Chen smiled: "You know it very well."

"If I don't know, maybe I will end up like Bai Xin." When Xia Lanyue said this, a sense of loss that she didn't even notice flashed through her heart.

Su Chen stared at her in front of him, and was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Up to now, you still don't understand. I canonized you as Concubine Zhen, because in my heart, only you are the most precious."

Xia Lanyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she just smiled and said: "Suchen, you did all this to repay your kindness."

Su Chen was stunned suddenly, never thought that she would ask such a question at this moment, and was speechless for a while.

Looking at his silence, Xia Lanyue continued: "True love and falsehood are just a thin line. I can't tell the truth from the false, but I understand that you are grateful to me from the beginning to the end. The grace of saving life has made you unclear." Is it love or kindness for you to me?"

"When I was 12 years old, I had no relatives in this world. No one has treated me as well as you in these years. Now you are my husband and the father of my children. No matter what the future holds, I will always only It will be your woman, this is my promise to you." Xia Lanyue did not say this on impulse, but a decision made after a long time of deliberation, for her unborn child: "But I I can't promise to give you my heart, and you can't ask me, because you have no love for me, only kindness."
