Chapter 352 (1/2)
Hearing this, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief. ”It's OK. I was scared when I heard about it. I always wanted to go to have a look, but I couldn't help myself. If I went there, I would make trouble, so I couldn't help myself.”
The emperor looked at her deeply, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the falsehood of her words.
The imperial concubine's heart was startled, and some sadness appeared on her face. ”Your Majesty... Are you, do you doubt my concubine?”
The emperor looked away. ”I don't doubt you. I'm very angry now. I want to ask you. What's the change in the harem recently?”
Even if she doesn't really love this man, she has been living together for so long. When something happens, she doubts herself. It's false to say that she's not cold.
More or less, I still feel uncomfortable.
The imperial concubine sighed, ”I didn't find it. It's my dereliction of duty, but I really didn't mean to harm the fetus in the belly of Lingfei. I've been in the palace for the longest time. I've been with the former empress for many years. Thanks to your Majesty's kindness, I'm afraid I won't do anything casually. I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed if I lose my word...”
Say may be really touched a point, her eyes red, speech also choked.
When the emperor saw her like this, he could not help regretting that he had just said something wrong.
He went down the steps, took the hand of the imperial concubine, and said in a soft voice, ”I don't mean that. You've worked hard these years. I'm angry at you for a moment. You don't take it to heart, ah.”
The imperial concubine put her hand around the emperor's waist and put her head on his shoulder: ”Your Majesty really made my concubine sad. Don't you think that if my concubine was really jealous of my beloved concubine, how could a prince be born after tang'er?”
The emperor was stunned. He didn't expect that. What the imperial concubines said is reasonable. He has spoiled several concubines for so many years. Didn't those people also give birth to the prince?
