Leng Qing stood up, bent down and helped Yan Ruju up, sighing heavily.

"Why are you doing this?"

Yan Ruju wiped the tears from her face and sat quietly to the right of Leng Qingyi.

Waiting for the emperor's decision.

Leng Qingyi sighed heavily again and thought for a while before speaking.

"I will tell you the truth. Your life was saved by the King of Qi."

"He used a lot of information that was useful to me to make a deal with me, in exchange for a prosperous and stable life for you for the rest of your life."

Yan Ruju was slightly stunned. This answer was really beyond her expectations.

Before this, she had countless guesses in her mind, but this was not the only one.

As early as when Zhongli He used her, she thought that Zhongli He was just using her.

But in that dream she saw a strange Zhongli He.

In the dream, Zhongli He formed a clique, recruited soldiers and attacked the imperial city just for her.

After taking her away, he threw the throne that was within his grasp directly to his father.

He wanted nothing but her.

She really couldn't understand which one was the real Zhongli He.

Now she learned from the emperor that the reason she was able to avoid being implicated by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and still sit firmly on the position of imperial concubine was because of Zhongli He.

So Zhongli He's feelings for her are real.

So if reality develops as in the dream, Dongxia will really be doomed and the people will be displaced.

In this way, she almost became a sinner of Dongxia and a sinner of the world.

This feeling of stepping on the corpses of millions of people is too terrifying.

He clearly has the ability to protect Dongxia from danger.

But for his own selfish reasons and the pursuit of a carefree life, he ignored Dongxia and millions of people.

Just to be with his niece-in-law.

Such a man is too scary.

If the facts are really as the emperor said, then she would rather die at that time.

This extreme emotion that can kill people is really terrible.

So Yan Ruju knelt beside Leng Qing again.

"Your Majesty, if you spared my life because of the news from the Prince of Qi, then I am willing to die."

"Even if I die, I would rather not have anything to do with someone who has no sense of righteousness for his country."

Yan Ruju was in a complicated mood. If she had known that this was the reason why the emperor spared her life, she would have committed suicide long ago.

She would rather die than have any causal relationship with such an extremely terrifying person.

Now I think that I was also confused back then.

How can a man who covets his own nephew's woman be a good person?

"I never break my promise. Get up."

Yan Ruju still had a faint expectation in her heart, but she didn't dare to express it out loud.

Now that I know that I was able to live longer because of that person, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

She also made up her mind to die voluntarily, and now she no longer had to worry about anything.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you one last question?"

"You say it."

Leng Qingyi saw Yan Ruju's desire to die and felt a little uneasy.

If Yan Ruju committed suicide, Heaven would not hold it against him and send him down with a few more lightning bolts.

"Your Majesty, have you ever felt any affection for me?"

There was a hint of expectation in Yan Ruju's eyes, but it was only a hint of expectation, and the rest was all emptiness.

Leng Qing thought about this question seriously after hearing it.

Zhongli Yuan should answer Yan Ruju's question.

Zhongli Yuan should have had some feelings for Yan Ruju before she came into this world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't trust her and the Duke of Zhenguo so much, and he wouldn't speak for Yan Ruju in everything.

As for whether it was admiration or love, she wasn't sure.

Leng Qingyi thought for a long time and nodded slightly.

No matter what kind of emotion it is, there is emotion.

Ordinary people will develop some different feelings even if they live with kittens and puppies for more than a year.

When Yan Ruju saw the emperor nod, her heart started beating violently for some reason.

"So, Your Majesty, what you said before was not a lie to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"You said you were ill..."

"Oh, you're talking about this. This shouldn't be true. After all, Concubine Yi is pregnant."

Yan Ruju's broken heart had just closed a little, but was crushed again by Leng Qingyi.

But it was expected for Yan Ruju. She had guessed it a long time ago, right?

But even hearing the emperor admit it with my own ears, I still felt bitter in my heart.

Yan Ruju curled the corners of her lips in self-mockery and lowered her head to hide the bitterness in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I do not want you to break your promise, but I ask Your Majesty to promise me one thing."

Leng Qingyi had a bad feeling in her heart, but at this point she couldn't continue to lie and have another child with Yan Ruju.

It's weird.

"You said."

"Your Majesty, after I die, please spare the maids and eunuchs who serve me in the palace. This is my last wish."

Leng Qingyi remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"If your heart is at peace, even after you die, those sins will still be on you, making your soul restless."

"Death is not a release, but an escape. If you truly feel you were wrong and want to repent, you might as well do something practical."

Yan Ruju looked up in confusion, her eyes were lifeless and filled with a desire for death.

"If the dream you had really happened in your past life, then you are committing a heinous crime. Even if you die a hundred times, you won't be able to bring back the lives of those people."

Yan Ruju knew that she had committed a grave sin, and now that the emperor had pointed it out to her, she felt so guilty that she couldn't even raise her head.

"It is better to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to slowly cleanse your sins."

"There are many things you can do, such as praying for the country and the people at the Huguo Temple, or helping care for the poor children who have lost their parents at the Children's Bureau."

"With your talent, you can teach those children a lot. Even if you only teach the girls needlework, it can be a way for them to make a living."

"Since I have killed tens of millions of people, I should save tens of millions of people to atone for my sins."

Yan Ruju took Leng Qingyi's words to heart. She had also been to the Charity Bureau once, and the children there were so sensible and pitiful.

After pondering Leng Qingyi's words for a while, a glimmer of hope for life appeared in his eyes.

Yes, since she once killed tens of millions of people, she must now save tens of millions of people in order to atone for one ten-thousandth of her sins.

After thinking about it, Yan Ruju made an important decision in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I ask to be a nun. From now on, there will be no more Yan Ruju in the world, only nuns practicing virtue."

"Well, as long as you can think it through, it's up to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance. May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life with many descendants. Amitabha."

When Leng Qing saw Yan Ruju getting into the role so quickly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Why is the lucky girl in this world so weird?

"Your Majesty, Xiushan will go to Shuiyue Temple to become a nun today. I will trouble you with the palace affairs."

Leng Qing waved his hand, unable to stay any longer, and stood up to leave.
