After Murong Zheng returned from the Queen's Qifeng Palace, he stayed in his own bedroom.
I didn't care about anything, all that echoed in my mind were the Queen's desperate words.
He recalled their first meeting, when he was still a prince and rashly barged into the Empress Dowager's Feifeng Palace and bumped into her.
Even when she was a teenager, she was not beautiful, but had delicate features. However, her good upbringing could be seen in her every move.
When he secretly looked at her, the Queen Mother saw it and said that it was a coincidence of fate.
He was unwilling to marry such an ugly woman as his queen. Compared to her, he liked her younger sister more, who was very beautiful. When she looked at him, her faint smile was enough to capture all his attention.
He secretly went to see his mother and told her that he wanted to marry her younger sister, but his mother listened to the Queen Mother the most. He begged her many times, but she finally relented and asked the Queen Mother to let his younger sister be his concubine.
Only then did he know that she was the wife chosen by the Empress Dowager to be his wife. Once she made her choice, even his father would not disobey her.
He could only obey and marry a woman he didn't like.
But he didn't expect that she would say those words on the wedding night. She would try her best to be a wife and a future queen, and only asked the emperor to try to accept her and try to love her.
At that time, she was the granddaughter-in-law favored by the Empress Dowager, and my father and mother were even more satisfied with her. She could have used this as an excuse to cry and make a fuss with me and force me to submit, but she revealed her thoughts so humbly.
At that time, he was really moved. Anyone would be moved by a woman who loved him so humbly, not to mention that this woman was fully capable of fighting against him.
Later, even though he had many beautiful concubines, he would go to the queen's palace from time to time. Every time he stayed in her bedroom, it was as if he had entered another peaceful world.
She was indeed a good wife and a good queen. She disciplined the children well and managed the harem well. She did keep her promise not to compete for favors or make trouble. Even if he did something extraordinary for Concubine Dong, she would do her best to make amends.
In his heart, she was the well-deserved queen. Even though he doted on Concubine Dong and wanted to give her everything, he never thought of giving the position of queen to Concubine Dong. He felt that she was the most qualified queen.
Murong Zheng thought that their lives would be like this, until they grew old and gray-haired, and when he was tired, he would step into the Qifeng Palace just to talk with the Queen about family matters and their children and grandchildren.
However, they were just halfway through their lives and she was about to let go.
He had already liked her existence. If she let him go, what would he do
Murong Zheng's mind was filled with the image of the Queen, from her youthful and immature appearance back then to her current exhausted look.
Thinking of her desperate words to him, he felt heartbroken, at a loss, and he...
"Have someone guard the queen and don't allow any accidents to happen. Do you hear me?" Murong Zheng ordered the young eunuch beside him, his words extremely serious.
"Your Majesty, a message just came from Qifeng Palace saying that the Queen asked all the servants to leave and she stayed in the palace alone."
Being able to become the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he always has some ability to observe words and expressions. Seeing the emperor leaving Qifeng Palace in a daze, the young eunuch had ordered people to pay attention to the movements in Qifeng Palace. Before, the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say anything. But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Murong Zheng stood up like crazy and walked towards the door.
"Your Majesty, please slow down. It's still raining outside. You..." The little eunuch hurried to catch up, but the fine autumn rain had already submerged Murong Zheng's figure.
In the huge palace, Murong Zheng was like a ghost who had lost his soul, running recklessly towards the Qifeng Palace. No one knew the panic in his heart at this moment. No one knew that this man who had always been high and mighty, at this moment, just wanted to humbly beg the woman he had never loved, not to mess around, never to mess around.
