Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 35: Secret Meeting with Longkodo

"Your Majesty, you are talking about Lord Longkodo. You must be careful with your words in this imperial palace. If someone with ulterior motives overhears you, both Your Majesty and Lord Longkodo will be doomed." Zhu Xi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly reminded.

Defei slowly lowered her head: "Without him, what use is this wealth and splendor to me." Perhaps because of the alcohol, her feet were unstable, and she stumbled and almost fell. At this time, Yinzhen, who was worried about her mother, also found her mother. Seeing that she was about to fall, he was about to step forward to help her, but he was still a step too late. Defei had been supported by a man.

Who is that? How could he touch my mother? Seeing this, Yinzhen hid aside, not daring to make any sound for fear of alerting the enemy.

Defei, who almost fell down, was still in shock, and Zhuxi was also very frightened.

"Is your Majesty okay?" A man's voice sounded in Defei's ears, familiar and deep. Hearing this familiar voice, the haze in Defei's heart seemed to dissipate, and tears filled her eyes. This man was exactly the one she had been thinking about, Longkodo!

"Lord Longkodo!" Zhuxi's eyes were filled with fear when he saw this man. How could he be so bold as to run into the palace and blatantly support the emperor's concubines?

"Your humble servant, Longkodo, pays his respects to Empress Defei!" His voice was a little choked, perhaps because he missed her very much.

"Why are you here? Has anyone seen you?" Defei's eyes were full of him. She excitedly helped him up and brushed the dust off his body.

"Since the court session ended today, I have never left. It's because I miss Her Majesty too much that I have been waiting here. I will be satisfied just thinking that I can catch a glimpse of Her Majesty from afar." As he spoke, Longkodo's tears were about to flow.

Concubine De sighed softly, "Alas, you know, my mood is the same as yours. I once thought that one day, you would take me far away. Now think about it, decades have passed, and I am still trapped in this deep palace, looking at the sky and walls all day long, day after day, and being with people I don't like every day. Do you know how sad I am? If we were both braver at the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation today."

"To be honest, this is all my fault. I feel so sorry for Your Majesty." Longkodo confessed in front of Concubine De.

"Your Majesty, Lord Longkodo, please hurry. We cannot stay here for long. It will be bad if someone comes." Zhuxi reminded the two of them, but little did he know that Yinzhen saw everything.

"Forget it, what's the point of saying all this now? There is no regret medicine in this world. If you are well, I will have nothing to worry about." Defei looked at Longkodo.

"Your Majesty, can I hold you in my arms again?" Longkodo said with tears in his eyes, opening his arms and looking at Concubine De. Concubine De lowered her head, closed her eyes, and remained silent, agreeing.

Yinzhen, who was hiding in the corner, was extremely nervous. "Don't! Mother, don't!" He clenched his fists and whispered. But he couldn't make a decision after all. He closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to look at her any more, and turned away.

Defei finally embraced Longkodo in his arms. They hugged each other tightly and expressed their longing for each other. "Do you know how I have been through all these years?" Defei kept beating Longkodo's chest. Finally, she couldn't hold it back anymore and she cried.

Longkodo tried his best to comfort her, "Sister Chengbi, I know I am sorry for you, and I am willing to protect you for my whole life."

"What's the use? We are not destined to be together after all." Defei wiped her tears and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past." She struggled to get out of Longkodo's arms. "It's getting late. I should go back. Take care, my lord."

"Sister Chengbi, sister Chengbi." Longkodo was trying to persuade her to stay, hoping that she could stay a little longer. Looking at the hands that had just embraced Concubine De, he felt unsatisfied.

Concubine De was also unwilling to leave. That man was the one she loved all her life but could not get! It was the most painful to love someone but not get him, but she was powerless. This was the imperial palace, and she was the emperor's concubine. If she was caught, it would be a capital crime with her entire clan being executed. She had to consider not only herself but also her clan members.

Longkodo looked at Defei's departing back, but could not take a step forward.

The moment Defei turned around and pushed him away, she had already burst into tears. Only when she was in his arms, she was Wuya Chengbi, Longkodo's childhood sweetheart, Chengbi's sister, and the moment she left his arms, she turned back into the emperor's Defei, the biological mother of the Fourth and Fourteenth Princes - Defei!

"Zhu Xi, my heart hurts so much." Defei said, covering her chest.

After hearing this, Zhuxi supported Concubine De steadily and said, "My queen, please don't blame me for being too talkative. Even now, my heart aches, but I have to bear it. Your life cannot only be about Lord Longkodo. You also have the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince. You have to live for them."

Concubine De didn't say anything, probably because she was too sad to speak.

"In this life, nothing goes as planned. Your Majesty, you just need to let it go. Living well in the present is the best thing. Your Majesty, you must believe that the present is the best arrangement." Zhu Xi said again.

After adjusting her mood, Concubine De calmed down and said, "Let's go back to the Qianqing Palace. It's been a while since we came out."

Zhuxi supported Concubine De with all his heart, and the two of them just pretended that nothing had happened. But Yinzhen's mood was very different from before. His eyes were dull, as if he was possessed by a demon. He just sat quietly in his seat, not saying a word, and just drank.

"Your Highness, please drink less. Drinking too much is harmful to your health." Yixiu didn't know what was wrong with Yinzhen, so she took the wine glass from his hand and tried to persuade him. Yinzhen was already irritable, and Yixiu's move made him even more angry.

"Go away and don't bother me." He snatched the wine glass and pushed Yixiu aside. Fortunately, the action was not large and did not attract the emperor's attention.

"Eunuch Su, what's wrong with the prince? What happened? You just went out with the prince." Yixiu looked at Su Peisheng, hoping to know something from him.

Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen, who was still drinking one glass after another, "My Lady, nothing happened. The prince just became like this suddenly. Maybe he was thinking about the late wife and is in a bad mood." Su Peisheng looked at Yixiu, and said, "If the prince wants to drink, let him drink. Wine is a good thing sometimes. When you're drunk, you won't think so much." Su Peisheng also knew that everything that happened and saw outside just now were things he could never tell others. He could only mention the late wife to get away with it in front of Yixiu.

As expected, Yixiu believed it. "Forget it. Over the years, the prince has never forgotten my sister. From time to time, my sister's figure would appear in his mind, and every time the prince would drink to drown his sorrows. You should take good care of the prince. Don't make him feel uncomfortable if he drinks too much."
