It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Concubine Cen raised her head, looking at the emperor with gentle eyes, and said considerately, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You have your own difficulties. You have to think about the people of the world and the peace of the palace. How can you care about so many things?"

"Besides, the royal bloodline cannot be mixed. I don't blame you."

"I can only blame those villains who deliberately alienated the relationship between Your Majesty and me... Your Majesty, as long as you give me and Huaiyang justice, I will be satisfied."

Concubine Cen knew very well that blaming and complaining about the emperor would not benefit her or Lu Huaiyang at all.

Instead, it will alienate you from the emperor and alienate their relationship.

But it would be in the best interests of the mother and son if the emperor could keep feeling guilty and distressed and hold accountable those who framed them.

Besides, even if the emperor really said that he did not do well, it was just talk.

I didn't really admit my mistake to her.

She must know how to turn things around, take the opportunity given by the emperor, and make good use of it.

The emperor was ruthless, she had known this seven years ago.

Now, she no longer has the innocent heart that made her disguise herself as a eunuch and follow him to the enemy country.

It’s not that sincerity doesn’t exist, it’s just that sincerity changes rapidly.

Maybe when she chased him and appeared in his most difficult time, he was really touched.

The promise he made to her that he would treat her well for the rest of his life and never let her suffer any injustice might be true.

But things have changed now, and she can't take it seriously.

She wants to grab everything she can.

Only when her son holds that high position can she rest assured.

Men are unreliable.

If you must trust a man, that man can only be your son.

As expected, after hearing Concubine Cen's words, the emperor's expression became more and more moved. He looked at Concubine Cen with guilt and uneasiness, and said, "I didn't protect you enough. I failed in my duty."

"It's because those people with ulterior motives are too treacherous and treacherous. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you and Huaiyang, and will not let you and your son suffer any more injustice."

Concubine Cen bowed her head at the right moment and shed tears: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking of us mother and son. I am willing to do anything for you, as long as you have us in your heart."

The emperor looked at Concubine Cen's thoughtfulness and felt both moved and uneasy. He looked at Concubine Cen deeply, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Concubine Cen, have you ever blamed me over the years?"

Concubine Cen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned serious as she looked at the emperor. She said solemnly, "I don't blame Your Majesty. I just feel sorry for you. Even the Son of Heaven has his difficulties."

"Being forced by those people, His Majesty can only let the people he wants to protect do what they want..."

"Your Majesty must be feeling even more uncomfortable than I am."

When the emperor heard what Concubine Cen said, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Concubine Cen with emotion and was speechless for a long time.

Concubine Cen lowered her head and glanced at the emperor. She saw a flash of anger in his eyes, followed by guilt towards her.

She lowered her head, and the emperor looked at her and felt that she was very pitiful and very sympathetic.

He felt bad in his heart, looked at her, and gently pulled her hand: "It's hard for you. You have fallen into such a situation, but you still think about me and care about me."

Hearing the emperor's words, he was clearly moved, and he probably had murderous thoughts towards those people.

Concubine Cen lowered her head, hiding the gleam in her eyes.

In this palace, those who are truly kind will be bullied, but those who are hypocritical will gain the emperor's favor.

This is extremely beneficial for them, mother and son, and for Lu Huaiyang's family of three.

Concubine Cen nodded slightly, her voice choking with emotion. "Your Majesty has many concubines, including the Queen, but in my heart, you are my heaven, my husband. All my thoughts and concerns are with Your Majesty."

Concubine Cen's voice was gentle, and the emperor was moved as he listened to her words: "Concubine Cen, I understand your feelings. You are a good person, and the son you raised is also like you, a good person."

"He is filial and considerate... I am very happy."

Listening to the emperor's words, Concubine Cen smiled and said, "It is a blessing for us mother and son to be able to share your worries."

As he was speaking, Lu Huaiyang's footsteps were heard outside.

Concubine Cen slightly took back the emperor's hand, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said, "Your Majesty, it should be Huaiyang who came in."

The emperor also let go of Concubine Cen's hand, coughed lightly, and nodded.

Sure enough, Eunuch Su was heard outside announcing, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is here."

Meetings took place outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while inside was the emperor's bedroom where he lived and worked.

When the emperor was tired from daily work and not flipping cards, he would rest here.

"Let him in." The emperor sat down calmly.

Eunuch Su immediately brought Lu Huaiyang in.

As soon as Lu Huaiyang came in, he knelt down and saluted the emperor with an upright posture: "I pay my respects to the emperor, father. Long live the emperor and stay healthy."

He kowtowed, and before the emperor could call him, he kowtowed to Concubine Cen again: "My son greets my mother, and I wish you all the best."

Concubine Cen's tears fell sincerely this time, "Okay, okay."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Get up and go home. There's no need for so many formalities."

Only then did Lu Huaiyang stand up.

The emperor said to Eunuch Su, "Please take a seat."

Eunuch Su hurriedly brought over a small round stool similar to the one Concubine Cen had.

Lu Huaiyang thanked him and sat down.

The emperor looked at him, and saw that he was still wearing such plain clothes even after entering the palace. He felt a little distressed and sighed: "Why are you still dressed like this? Isn't it a reward from your wife? She treats you very well, so she wouldn't be reluctant to buy you new clothes, right?"

The emperor's words were joking, but also contained a hint of temptation.

The emperor was suspicious and thought that Lu Huaiyang was deliberately pretending to be pitiful for him.

In fact, I was already feeling a little unhappy.

Lu Huaiyang remained calm and said, "She bought silk for me, but... she was born in poverty and has never seen anything so bad."

"My hands are rough from years of hard work, and I can't bear to part with the fabric for fear of scratching it."

"I want to take care of my hands and then let my son do it well."

Lu Huaiyang said with a wry smile: "It's because I'm useless. I haven't treated her well over the years. She's reluctant to spend money, saying that she feels safe only when she saves it."

"Besides, my son has been wearing coarse linen clothes all these years. This fabric is excellent, and he doesn't mind it."

It turned out to be so.

The emperor's expression softened slightly, and a look of guilt lingered in his eyes. "You are all good children. Wait a little longer. Once we get news from the Dali Temple, we will clear your name."

"When the time comes... I will grant you a palace and you will have people to serve you."

As the emperor spoke, he thought, although the daughter-in-law is a good cook, she didn't seem to be a clumsy person the last time he saw her.

Did he remember it wrong?

Or did he not see clearly?

After all, she is my daughter-in-law, so it’s not good to stare at her.
