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

However, for a long time after he finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the hall.

His Majesty the Emperor sat in front of the imperial table with his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking about. The cold and solemn aura he unconsciously exuded made Liu Rong, who was standing beside him, hold his breath and concentrate, not daring to breathe loudly.

Could it be that...what I just said might have...had the opposite effect?

As he stood there with his brows lowered, he heard his Majesty ask, "Anything else?"

Qi Junyi looked calm, and there was no anger in his tone, but Liu Rong's face turned bitter when he heard it.

Asking him, a castrated eunuch, to experience these romantic affairs... is no different from forcing an old widow to have a baby.

Having learned from the previous experience, Liu Rong really didn't dare to continue talking nonsense. She bent down even lower and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't understand the relationship between men and women."

"Really?" Hearing this, Qi Junyi glanced at him and said in an unclear tone, "I see you often have something to say to her."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Rong's forehead. As the emperor's close attendant, why should he get close to the empress in the harem? If it weren't for the fact that Ning'an Palace had been used as His Majesty's bedroom, and the mistress there was like a blockhead, not at all enlightened, he wouldn't have bothered to remind her so many times.

How did it become... I always have something to say.

After muttering a few words inwardly, Liu Rong said, "It's because Your Majesty is kind and lenient towards me. Since I serve you, Your Majesty is willing to give me a little more face."

There is some truth in this.

Qi Junyi raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then said calmly, "Retreat."

He had lost his mind and was unwilling to accept the fact that the girl didn't care about him at all. He just wanted to find clues to prove that she cared about him too.

This puts me in a difficult position.

Liu Rong agreed respectfully and was about to retreat, but he paused when he saw his master's tired look.

"Your Majesty," he whispered, "...it's getting late. It's time to go to bed."

Qi Junyi couldn't sleep at all. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about how his beloved girl in his previous life had misunderstood him until her death.

He originally thought that it was the last year or so that had created a rift between them.

I didn't expect it to be so early.

Such a fact was suddenly exposed and placed in front of him. Without even thinking about it, Qi Junyi felt a dull pain in his heart.

He was somewhat glad that he did not stay in Ning'an Palace tonight.

At this moment, he really couldn't face the girl who knew nothing about everything.

There was no question of who was right or wrong in the past lives between them.

Only the results matter.

That is, one of them is a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, and the other is a confused and ignorant person, and will be accompanied by regret for the rest of his life.

Now he can be reborn and live again, but he will never have the chance to see his Yueyue again.

The Yueyue who owns all the memories.

In the early autumn weather, the windows in the hall were wide open, and a cool breeze slowly blew in.

But Liu Rong felt that even the air in here was depressing.

Although he didn't understand why his master had such strong feelings for Concubine Chen in just a few months, he could see it.

Your Majesty is in great pain and is at his wit's end as to what to do with Concubine Chen.

——Poor His Majesty is very good at controlling his ministers and can govern the country with peace and prosperity, but when facing his sweetheart, who is just a delicate girl, he is so worried that he can't sleep at night.

It's true, there is always someone who can defeat you.

Sharing the master's worries is the duty of a confidant. Now that the master is trapped in love, I have no good advice to offer...

As if thinking of something, Liu Rong suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, everyone has their own expertise. I really don't understand what the Concubine is thinking, but there are so many talented people in the capital, there must be someone who understands the girl's thoughts."

In the capital city where aristocratic families abound, there are many playboys who have been romantically involved with many beautiful women. Only those playboys can fully understand the minds of girls.

We have to figure out why the Concubine always makes His Majesty upset and unhappy again and again, right?

Even if,...even if there was an old relationship before entering the palace, but she has already entered the palace.

Liu Rong was unwilling to believe that Concubine Jieyu would repeatedly displease His Majesty because of that lingering love.

Isn't this courting death?

Do you really think that Your Majesty is so broad-minded?

Perhaps Qi Junyi really had no other choice. It had been more than three months since his rebirth. He had cast aside his pride and had tried to be submissive to the girl again and again, but to no avail.

He couldn't bear to use hard methods on her.

So when he heard Liu Rong's words, he thought about it seriously, and a person quickly appeared in his mind.

…………

That night.

The heavy palace gate was slowly opened, and an imperial guard with a sword rode out of the palace on horseback to the Duke of Lu's mansion.

After a while, the courtyards of several masters in the huge Duke's Mansion were brightly lit.

Someone came from the palace overnight, alarming the old Duke and his wife.

The imperial guards faced this exceptional Duke, and even the current emperor's direct maternal grandfather made no effort to exchange pleasantries. Instead, they meticulously delivered the imperial decree, "Announce the Duke of Lu's son to the palace for an audience."

When the prince was woken up from his concubine's room and rushed out of the room in a hurry, the people in the Duke of Lu's Mansion still didn't know what had happened.

——Could it be that this rebellious son had caused some terrible disaster, so that Your Majesty had to bring him to the palace for interrogation at night?

Not to mention the panic in the Duke's Mansion, the Crown Prince here was urgently summoned by His Majesty. He didn't even get in the carriage when he left the house, but rode his horse straight towards the palace.

A closer look revealed that even the jade belt around her waist was crooked, showing her panic.

On the way into the palace, he was wondering what big thing had happened that would cause his cousin, the emperor, to summon him to the palace at night.

God knows, although he held an official position in the court, he was just a marginal figure, and his family was wealthy, so he never did anything corrupt or illegal.

As for other...

Although he was a bit dissolute, he never did anything like robbing women or oppressing the people!

I really thought about all the bad things I had done over the past twenty years, but I couldn't think of a crime that would cause my cousin, the emperor, to summon me overnight.

He entered the palace in a panic. Before he reached Chengming Hall, he saw the eunuch Liu Rong, the chief imperial steward, waiting for him in the distance on the palace road. His heart skipped a beat.

"Greetings, Prince Lu," Liu Rong bowed and said with a smile, "His Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

How could Prince Lu dare to accept his gift? He moved aside and bowed deeply, saying, "Please explain something to me, eunuch."

Since Liu Rong was waiting here, of course he was here to give some advice.

"It is a great honor for us both to be able to share His Majesty's worries," he extended his hand to support her and said with a smile, "Whatever His Majesty asks, just answer it directly. There is no need to overthink it."

His Majesty had been waiting for a long time just to get a direct answer to his questions, but he didn't have the time to beat around the bush with his ministers like he did when handling government affairs.

Prince Lu didn't understand what was going on, but he still took the suggestion to heart.

This confusion quickly turned into astonishment after stepping into Chengming Palace.

Prince Lu's mouth was slightly open in shock, and it took him a long time to stroke his chin.

"You mean," he paused, then repeated with difficulty, "that the Concubine ignored... your feelings?"
