The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Liu Rong sighed inwardly, stepped forward, and whispered to the concubines kneeling on the ground, "My ladies, please leave quickly."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wei and several others kowtowed and took their leave in a hurry.

Jiang Lingyue did not keep anyone. She sat on the cushion and watched them walk away quietly, their shrill cries still echoing in her ears.

"All of you step aside. I have something to say to His Majesty."

"promise!"

Jin Yu, Jin Shu, Liu Rong and others responded respectfully and retreated to a distance.

They were the only two left in the lakeside viewing platform.

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and they were very close, so close that their shadows overlapped.

Jiang Lingyue looked down, the autumn wind kept whistling past, ruffling the loose hair on her temples. Qi Junyi's eyes darkened, and he reached out to tuck her loose hair behind her ears.

"If you have anything to say," he said with a faint smile, "if you don't feel compassion for others, just give me to them."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She said speechlessly: "They are your women, why do they need me to send them away?"

That's what I said.

"What? You really have this idea?" Qi Junyi clenched his teeth and leaned closer, seeming puzzled. "Jiang Lingyue, why don't you tell me first, what do you think of me?"

A tool to solve her medicinal properties?

Normally she is as cold as ice, and only when the effects of the medicine become difficult to express will she obediently crawl into his arms and actively seek sex.

And now that those women come to her and cry, she is going to generously lend this tool of his to other women?

From her private tool to a shared one?

Qi Junyi was almost vomiting blood because of his own thoughts.

She said she loved him in her previous life.

He did something wrong and said something wrong, which made her feel cold.

He felt extremely regretful and guilty about this.

But why, after so many days, he couldn't feel at all that she had ever loved him.

Even if you no longer love someone you truly loved,

Can you really bear to give it to others?

Qi Junyi asked himself, he couldn't do it.

He would feel unhappy if anyone looked at her for even a second, let alone...

He couldn't bear the thought of it.

The man next to her looked extremely ugly. Jiang Lingyue was puzzled. "When did I ever say I would give you to them?"

"Really?" Qi Junyi said, with a half-smile on his face, "How dare you say that you didn't feel any sympathy when they cried and begged you?"

compassion?

Jiang Lingyue looked at him intently and smiled, "So what if I feel sympathy?"

"They followed their family's arrangements to enter the palace for selection. It was their father and brothers who allowed them to enter the palace, and you were the one who accepted them. What did they do wrong?"

She smiled and asked, "Now you are sending them out of the palace again. From being the proud daughters of heaven, they have become abandoned women overnight. As a woman like me, should I feel happy?"

It is a great tragedy for a concubine of a commoner to be dismissed and left to wander outside without any support.

What's more, she is a woman that the emperor doesn't want. Who would dare to take her in or marry her?

If they had not entered the palace, each of them would have been able to marry into a wealthy family and become a mistress.

Now, it has come to this...

Jiang Lingyue took a deep breath, "I really don't mind having more concubines in the harem. It's not like you can't support a few women. If you can, can you..."

"No!" Qi Junyi's face darkened and he said coldly, "You don't mind, but I do. No one can stay in the harem and get in my way."

An eyesore.

Such harsh and ungrateful words actually came from the mouth of this kind and gentle emperor.

Jiang Lingyue looked at him blankly, as if she didn't recognize him.

"Don't look at me like that," Qi Junyi pursed his lips and said, "You don't need to feel guilty towards them. I didn't do this all for you."

It's not all for you...

Jiang Lingyue's eyelashes trembled and she said, "I don't believe it."

Whether he was being sentimental or not, he did it for her.

Because he didn't do that in his previous life.

In his previous life, until her death, he never dismissed any of his concubines from his harem.

Obviously, Qi Junyi also thought of his previous life.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "You don't believe me when I say I'll just pass your sentence, then I'll do it."

"...What?" Jiang Lingyue frowned. "You dismissed them from the palace. What does this have to do with it?"

Sleeping with her was a thing of the past, but now he was determined to abandon all the other women he had slept with for her...

She took a deep breath and took his hand.

"Qi Hengzhi, I really don't need you to do these things for me. Since they have already entered the palace, you can not favor them, but at least give them a way to survive."

Jiang Lingyue said seriously, "If you insist on sending them out of the palace, that would be taking their lives. Far from being moved, I would feel terrified. Do you understand how I feel?"

Those women were not her enemies, nor had they ever offended her.

Even as the beneficiary, Jiang Lingyue would not feel proud, nor would she feel the pleasure of victory.

She would only think that the person in front of her was cold and heartless, which made people feel scared.

One day brings a hundred days of grace to a husband...

"Yueyue," Qi Junyi held his forehead helplessly, "When did I ever say I wanted their lives?"

He held her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Are you just worried about this? You don't want to send me out?"

This is really a persistent issue.

It’s hard to describe Jiang Lingyue in a few words.

She hummed softly and said frankly: "I'm not as generous as you think. I'm not so willing to take the initiative to share my man with them."

I, am, a, man.

Qi Junyi chuckled, "So, you regard me as your man?"

Jiang Lingyue was too lazy to pay attention to his topic.

But His Majesty the Emperor was truly pleased. His frown relaxed and he smiled. "Very good. Then I tell you, I never intended to take their lives."

"Yes, you didn't take their lives, but you sent them out of the palace to marry other women. How is that any different from taking their lives?"

Jiang Lingyue said: "Whether you admit it or not, they were all your women. Who in the world would dare to want the emperor's woman?"
