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

Day two.

Xie An Ning handed the lady's badge to the harem.

Jiang Lingyue had not yet been officially crowned as queen, so the harem was not under her control. The news was passed to Concubine Hui, and then the head maid of Shaoguang Palace came to report it in person.

Of course she agreed.

That afternoon, Xie Anning entered the palace.

Jiang Lingyue slept and ate with the Emperor, but she had no palace of her own, so he could only summon her to the side hall of Guang'an Palace.

What kind of fate is it that the king and his minister meet again in this way after a lifetime?

Neither of them could hide their excitement.

After all the palace servants had left, Xie An Ning's eyes welled with tears. "My Queen, you also have memories from before, right?"

Jiang Lingyue nodded and admitted, "Some time ago, I had an extra memory."

Then he looked up and asked her, "Aunt Xie, when did you recover your memory? Why have you changed so much in this life?"

He drew a clear line with the Wang family early on and brought Wang Shaofu back to the Xie family.

Xie An Ning hid nothing and told Wang Shaofu everything he had done after he was reborn before her.

From the day he regained his memory, he proved his innocence and dismissed his concubines.

Later, he absolutely protected her in front of his parents, fearing that she would be bullied again, and then he expressed his intention to leave the family and ask to marry into the family's family.

And all this was done before she recovered her memory.

It is given with full sincerity.

Each and every one of these things was enough to move her, even though she had not yet experienced the pain of losing her daughter or the scene of him breaking into the study and calling for his concubine.

Jiang Lingyue listened quietly, only to be surprised by one thing. "He's been taking concubines for a full six months, hasn't he? He hasn't slept with any of them?"

"No, when they were dismissed from the mansion, the chastity seals of several concubines were all there." Xie An Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "It was the same in the previous two lives."

This was the first time Jiang Lingyue heard of this.

She was silent for a moment, dumbfounded. "...What does he want?"

The matter of taking a concubine made his beloved wife lose heart.

The originally happy family of three fell apart.

He would die in both his lives and not have a good end.

As a result, he never touched any of those concubines?

What is the purpose of this?

Don’t you feel it’s unfair?

Two lifetimes.

Two lives.

Just like that, I got involved.

Xie An Ning lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that unfair. I caught him trying it once."

She recounted in detail what had happened in the study.

I felt extremely disgusted at the time, and even now when I talk about it, my brows still furrow slightly.

Xie Anning took a sip of tea and swallowed down the surging emotions.

She almost deceived herself, but Jiang Lingyue had been above thousands of people for decades in her previous life, and her ability to observe others and people from above had already reached perfection. She could see the clues at a glance.

I don’t find it that difficult to understand.

He just sighed helplessly, "I was wondering, Aunt Xie, whether your feelings towards Wang Shaofu were just pity."

After all, from her bystander's perspective, both of Wang Shaofu's lives were too tragic.

Even if the love between husband and wife is gone, the affection they have shown as childhood sweethearts and the years of support is not fake.

They have been entangled for three lifetimes, and out of pity, it is not a bad idea to help him achieve a perfect life.

But now, Jiang Lingyue doesn't think so.

Even though they had already divorced and after a lifetime, her Aunt Xie still couldn't let go of the fact that she caught Wang Shaofu hugging his concubine.

How can this be mercy?

Only if you really care can you not remain indifferent.

If it was just pity, having a concubine would have been a trivial matter.

Xie Anning was silent for a while, then said, "I don't want to watch him die again."

There is still a gap.

With so much pain accumulated, how could it be possible for the broken heart to be mended without a trace?

However, no matter how big the gap is, it cannot compare to his life.

Perhaps those past memories of love and hate will always stand between them, and she will never be able to let go, but compared with his life or death, it doesn't seem that important.

She didn't want to see him vomiting blood again, and she didn't want to see him die in her arms, his body stiff and cold.

As long as you are sure of this, no matter how painful the other scars are, they don’t seem to be that important.

That's Wang Shaofu.

When she was young, he was the boy who surrounded her and put her first in everything.

He is the man who has tried his best to love and protect her since her parents passed away.

The affection between them has long been unclear.

Jiang Lingyue thought about the tragedy of Wang Shaofu's two lives and could understand Xie Anning's feelings to some extent.

After several lifetimes of entanglement, no one is qualified to make decisions for her unless they are involved.

Jiang Lingyue didn't try to persuade him, but simply asked, "What about Ishihara-kun? You two were so loving in your previous life, are you really going to give up like this and not renew your relationship?"

Xie Anning nodded softly.

"He once said that if my marriage was successful, he wouldn't continue to wait hopelessly. He would listen to the advice of the elders in his family and marry a girl of equal status."

In this way, he would have his own offspring.

Instead of marrying into the Xie family, he doesn't even have any biological children.

No matter how you look at it, it's a happy ending.

No one can find fault with it.

But when Jiang Lingyue heard this, she hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Xie An Ning said, "Your Majesty, please speak up. I will obey your instructions."

"It's not a warning," Jiang Lingyue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aunt Xie, do you want to know what happened to Ishihara Qing after you died in your previous life?"

Thanks to Wang Shaofu, upon hearing this, Xie Anning thought of the scene when he lay in the coffin.

Countless chaotic thoughts stopped in an instant.

Xie An Ning was slightly stunned, staring at her blankly for a long time, his lips trembling, "He committed suicide for love?"

"That's not true,"

Jiang Lingyue said, "When you died, he was less than fifty. The Shi family had no say in the government at that time, and there was a lack of successors. It was on the verge of decline. His elder brother and the elders of the Shi family repeatedly persuaded him to bring his son back to the family."

"But he didn't leave. Instead, he stayed with the Xie family and his children for twenty years. He did his utmost to support Xie Wan's position in the court, and waited until Xie Jinbai grew up to be able to handle affairs on his own before retiring and returning home to raise his grandchildren."

"When Ishihara Qing died, the Xie family had already flourished, and your great-grandson was already three years old."
