After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

"This is not cleverness, but the truth. If the emperor likes me, what can I gain by keeping me in the palace? Or depose the queen and let me live in Jingren Palace? The queen is just the queen, not the emperor's wife. Please forgive me for being so nosy, but the emperor and your wife must like each other very much."

Then Yu Rao knelt on her knees and begged the emperor, "Yunxi and I love each other. I dare not ask the emperor to let me be Yunxi's wife. Even if I am his concubine, it is fine. I only ask the emperor to let me be with Yunxi."

The emperor was almost confused by Yu Rao's words: "Aren't you only willing to be his wife?"

Yu Rao analyzed clearly: "The Queen is the Emperor's wife in name, but the Emperor does not regard her as his wife. Although I cannot become Yunxi's wife in name in the future, he only has me in his heart, and I only have him in my heart. I know that he will not marry other women. I am the only one he loves most in his heart, isn't I his wife?"

The emperor was already a little angry at this moment, "You get up first."

Seeing that the emperor refused to agree, Yu Rao still knelt on the ground, "I know that the emperor likes me. Since he likes me, I should fulfill his wishes. In addition to the queen, there are many women around the emperor. I have just entered the palace and have seen my sister go through so many twists and turns. Although my sister is the most important woman to the emperor, she has such a hard life. Be careful, I will have to live like that in the near future."

After saying this, Yu Rao kowtowed to the emperor and continued, "Your Majesty's love is precious, but love in the world is not limited to love between men and women. Please love me as much as you love me."

Then Yu Rao took the mandarin duck pendant from her waist and handed it to the emperor, saying, "This is something the emperor has entrusted to me to keep. I will return it intact. Please fulfill my and Yunxi's long-cherished wish."

The emperor felt very disappointed, but he still said: "I give this jade pendant to you." After that, he left the piano room dejectedly.

夜晚

The emperor was sitting in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, flipping through a book, but his mind was not on the book. He didn't concentrate at all. His head was still buzzing, and his mind was still filled with what Yu Rao had said to him during the day. He couldn't understand how he, the emperor, the ruler of a country, could be rejected by a woman.

At this time, Su Peisheng walked into the room holding a lamp and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the lights are dim. I will change a brighter one for you. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

The emperor was puzzled and annoyed. He asked Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng."

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

"I fell in love with a woman and wanted to take her as my concubine, but she refused. What do you think?"

How could Su Peisheng not see through the emperor's thoughts? After all, he had been by the emperor's side for a long time, and just that morning Concubine Xi had privately asked him to help her persuade the emperor to give up the matter of Yu Rao at the appropriate time.

Su Peisheng knew the status of Concubine Xi in the emperor's heart, so he naturally did not dare to neglect her. It would be of no benefit to him to offend Concubine Xi.

So Su Peisheng replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't know who this woman is, but I feel that no matter how good a woman is, she cannot compare to Queen Chunyuan."

The emperor looked away from the tree and raised his eyes to glance at Su Peisheng: "What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that it doesn't matter who Your Majesty likes. It is her blessing to be able to serve Your Majesty on behalf of Queen Chunyuan."

The emperor closed the book in his hand, looked at Su Peisheng and said, "You are too picky."

At this moment, the Emperor realized that neither Zhen Huan nor Yu Rao could replace Queen Chun Yuan. Before, she had always wanted to find a substitute for Chun Yuan to accompany her, but now it seemed that no matter how similar the person was, they could not compare to Chun Yuan herself.

Since Yu Rao was unwilling, and a forced melon would not be sweet, she just gave up.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor made up his mind and said, "Okay, I have something for you to do."

"The emperor ordered." Su Peisheng replied.

"When Concubine Xi marries her sister, you can prepare the dowry according to the wedding ceremony of Duoluo Gege. Yunxi is getting married, and Concubine Xi is promoted to Concubine Dowager. The Queen Mother has been ill recently. If there are more happy events in the palace, we can consider it as a blessing for the Queen Mother."

Su Peisheng smiled and said to the emperor: "The imperial concubine is marrying my younger sister, and the emperor's son is getting married. This is a rare and beautiful story. If the queen mother knew about this happy event, she would definitely feel better."

Although the emperor helped Yu Rao and Shen Beile to be together, he still felt a little reluctant towards Yu Rao. He didn't want to listen any more, so he waved to Su Peisheng, signaling him to go out.

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother was now lying on the sickbed, coughing incessantly, her face pale and showing no signs of improvement. Since the beginning of winter, her health had become worse and worse. For some reason, she had been bedridden ever since she had personally sent Longkodo off last time.

The Queen Mother couldn't help coughing and stood up. Zhu Xi put a handkerchief to the Queen Mother's mouth, and the Queen Mother actually coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Xi silently looked worried and cried out, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said weakly, "I'm afraid I can't make it."

Nanny Zhuxi helped the empress dowager to stand up and said, "Empress dowager, please don't say that. The imperial doctors are waiting outside. I will call them in right away."

The Queen Mother knew that her life was coming to an end, and the days she spent lying in bed made her figure out many things.

She sighed and said, "Zhuxi, I am so sick that I am confused, but I keep thinking about one thing in my mind: for the glory of the Ulanara and Uya clans, I have always kept Yixiu as the queen. Was it wrong?"

Zhu Xi was worried that the Queen Mother was overthinking, so he said, "Queen Mother, please don't say that."

The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes and continued, "I know how Yixiu attacked Chunyuan, but I have no other choice. Once Yixiu dies, there will be no one in the Ulanara clan to inherit the throne. I have worked so hard to become the Queen Mother, and I cannot let the hard work of my whole life go to waste. So even though I know that Yixiu killed the concubines and their children, I have to keep her as Queen."

Nanny Zhuxi felt sad and comforted her, "The Queen Mother has advised the Queen many times, but it was the Queen herself who was stubborn and had killed so many people. If she had listened to the Queen Mother earlier, she would have stopped."

Queen Mother: "No matter how much I dislike her, I have to consider the honor of the whole family. These days, I dream of Chunyuan every night. I really feel sorry for her."

Aunt Zhuxi: "You, Queen Mother, said that Chunyuan is too gentle and not suitable for the position of Empress. Only Yixiu can keep the throne of Empress from falling into the hands of others."
