Chapter 538 The Cold Night
for a while
Xie Yucai spoke
"The Queen is just upset because An Shunrong is pregnant. She is just a little mad. She will be fine in a few days."
Chen Mi's hand, which was originally holding the exquisite teacup steadily, suddenly stopped as if under a spell.
His gaze also fixed on the tea in the cup.
But it was only for a moment, and that barely perceptible bitterness flashed across her deep eyes like a shooting star.
At that moment, Chen Mi buried all his sorrow and helplessness deep in the most secret corner of his heart.
The emperor may not have realized how much he dotes on the queen.
The queen has been angry for a long time because a concubine in the harem is pregnant.
The emperor said that he was not angry at all, and just regarded it as a temporary displeasure.
If it were an ordinary concubine, the emperor would have been furious.
Even Chen Xier, who was the most favored concubine in the harem at that time, would never dare to make such a fuss.
But now, the Queen dares to say that she will not see the Emperor.
And how could the emperor say such words so calmly now?
The harem thought that the emperor ignored the queen, but in fact it was the queen who didn't want to see the emperor.
The Queen's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated
I don't see the emperor, but I can still hold his heart every day.
Even though she and An Qianning were both pregnant with dragon fetuses, the emperor's mood was not very good these days.
The person the emperor is thinking about is still the queen
Chen Mi forced a smile and spoke cautiously.
"Your Majesty, An Shunrong and I are both pregnant. Is the Queen unhappy?"
Xie Yu glanced at Chen Mi
"The Queen is not such a petty person. It's just that because you have been in the palace for many years and you are pregnant, and An Shunrong has been in the palace for a short time, she is also pregnant. The Queen is unhappy and has a little temper. Well, you don't have to worry about it."
Listening to Xie Yu's words of defense, Chen Mi's smile became more and more forced, and he turned his head away.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't you go see the Queen tonight?"
Although Chen Mi said this, there was still a barely perceptible glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Xie Yu thought about it, stood up, and patted Chen Mi's hand.
Gentle tone
"Okay, I'll leave first. You take a good rest. I'll come to see you another day."
Chen Mi stood up. At this moment, her heart was cold. She respectfully saw Xie Yu off.
After Xie Yu took Gao Cheng away
At the gate of the magnificent palace, the moonlight falls on the ground
Moonlight like water
Chen Mi stood quietly, looking somewhat lonely and desolate.
One hand gently stroked her bulging belly.
Feeling the beating of the little life inside, however, her eyes were filled with unspeakable bitterness.
The breeze gently blew through her hair, bringing a slight coolness, but it could not alleviate the sadness in her heart.
She raised her head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and her thoughts drifted away.
The beautiful memories she and Xie Yu had once shared flooded into her mind, forming a sharp contrast with her current desolation.
Chen Mi recalled every bit of their acquaintance and friendship over the years, and those sweet times, which now seemed as illusory as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
Although she had no choice but to enter the palace, she loved the emperor.
When she was young, the emperor was the person she loved most in her heart.
Chen Mi said, "Hua Ling, in the past, I always felt that even if the emperor doted on someone, he never really loved anyone. Now, it's different. Even the emperor didn't realize that he does more than just dote on the queen. Look, tonight, the emperor has no hesitation between the queen and me. How fast it has changed. In just three years, everything has changed."
Flower spirit comes forward
"Your Highness, please don't be discouraged. All the favors you receive are just illusions. Your Highness is favored now, but what about the future? Without an heir, your Highness will grow old and ugly one day. But as long as your Highness gives birth to this baby safely, the Emperor will promise you the title of Imperial Concubine. Even if it is the title of Imperial Concubine, your Highness is worthy of it."
Chen Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head
"Hua Ling, you don't understand, you don't understand my heart"
For the emperor, she has always been sober and decadent
She knew that the emperor was not worthy of love, and being lovable was incomprehensible.
She loves the emperor. She loves everything about him, his cruelty, his ruthlessness, and even his hypocrisy.
Therefore, what she couldn't accept was that the emperor fell in love with the queen.
Hua Ling said quickly, "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing now is the baby in An Shunrong's belly. The baby in your belly should be treated with unique respect, Your Majesty."
Chen Mi's eyes turned colder
For the sake of her unborn child, she had to kill another child, but she had no choice.
This is not the first time she has done this. Her hands are often covered in blood.
Thoughts flooded my mind like a tide
Memories of the past kept flashing in Chen Mi's mind.
Thinking of what had happened, her eyes were no longer as gentle as usual.
It actually gradually revealed a trace of ferociousness that was so frightening that it made people's heart tremble.
It was a sign that long-suppressed emotions were about to erupt, like a turbulent undercurrent hidden beneath the calm surface of a lake, which could cause huge waves at any time.
the other side
Xie Yu arrived at Zhonghe Palace, and the palace gate was already locked.
Gao Chengdao said, "Your Majesty, I went to knock on the door. I think the Queen must not have gone to bed yet. Maybe the Queen has been waiting for you, Your Majesty."
Xie Yu remained silent
"The Queen is so temperamental. If I take the initiative to give in again, she will probably become lawless."
Gao Cheng sighed silently, the emperor is pretending well here.
In fact, these days, I am always distracted. I am obviously thinking about the queen, but I still pretend to be stubborn.
If the master makes trouble, it is the servants who suffer.
When will it end?
Gao Chengdao said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has always been generous and decent. I just can't understand it for the moment. I think the Empress must be thinking about you every day. Your Majesty, why don't you give some gifts to the Empress and give her a way out?"
Xie Yu's complexion improved a little, and he turned his head.
"You said, the Queen also misses me? Yes, the Queen has deep feelings for me, and she must be waiting for me to coax her. Forget it, I am the Son of Heaven, why should I bother with a woman?"
Gao Cheng smiled
"That's right. Your Majesty is a true emperor. How could he be so petty as the Empress? I'll go knock on the door right now. If the Empress sees your Majesty, she will be extremely happy."
Xie Yu and Gao Cheng, the master and servant, have a beautiful idea here.
Zhonghe Palace
Hall
Lin Junxue was playing mahjong with Danzhen and the other two, and they were very excited. Xiao Gongzi was waiting beside them.
Danzhen looks sad
"My lady, I lost all my monthly salary to Guyu this month. Was this girl chosen by the God of Wealth? Guyu wins every time, there is no suspense."
Qiao Xin smiled and played a red middle.
"My lady, I only have one or two ounces left."
