The queen obviously didn't expect that the emperor would say such words to her.
However, while she was moved, she was more alert. She was afraid that this was Murong Zheng's strategy to lure the enemy, just waiting for her to soften her heart so that she could devote all her energy to him and his love.
Over the years, only Concubine Dong's affairs could make the emperor come to the Qifeng Palace, and only Concubine Dong could make the emperor say such soft words to her.
This is the man she has loved for so many years. Seeing how paranoid and confused he is now because of Concubine Dong, she even doubts whether the man she fell in love with back then is the current emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am tired and want to sleep for a while. Please go back first."
The Queen woke up because of acupuncture. Now she was completely exhausted and had no energy to give advice to the Emperor and Concubine Dong. Of course, she just didn't want to.
She had never thought of disobeying the emperor before, but when she really did it, she realized that this kind of life was actually a happy and comfortable one.
She was actually somewhat obsessed with this feeling. It didn't require her to be dignified or virtuous, but it was the feeling that she felt most comfortable with.
"Then you take a good rest. When you get better, we'll have a good chat." Murong Zheng had already given his heart to the Queen, but she remained unmoved. He was a little puzzled, and of course more panicked.
When facing the Queen, he was so flustered that he had never been seen before in the court.
Even though he disliked the Empress Dowager, he had to admit that the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor had laid a good foundation in the early stages, allowing him to act recklessly in state affairs.
Over the years, he had followed his own temper in both the court and the harem. When facing the queen, he felt guilty for the first time.
I can’t tell you why I feel guilty, but my heart aches so much.
Murong Zheng walked out of the bedroom of Qifeng Palace, but did not leave. He just sat on the chair in the main hall with an inexplicable expression.
Deep down, she wanted to stay with the queen. Even if she didn't want him to be by her side, he had to stay in Qifeng Palace. It seemed that only in this way could she feel at ease.
He had never thought of the queen in this way before, but today, he just didn't want to leave.
But just after he did it for a moment, he heard faint crying sounds outside the door. This crying sound, in this rainy night, made him even more uneasy.
"Who's outside?"
"Fourth Prince, there is another young eunuch kneeling outside the palace."
As soon as the emperor entered the Qifeng Palace, the fourth prince arrived. As for the crying little eunuch, he was the one who stopped the emperor before entering the empress's bedroom.
When Murong Zheng heard that it was Murong Jie who was outside, he was distracted for a moment. Among all his sons, Murong Jie was the most beloved by him because of his mother. When he heard that Murong Jie was kneeling in the rain, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
So they had him brought in, and behind him followed a little eunuch who was also soaked.
"Father, I just received news from mother that the house is leaking and mother..." Murong Jie knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the house and said softly.
"Your Majesty, the queen is almost being tortured to death by the palace servants over there. She has no food to eat and no place to sleep. Now it's raining. I feel so sorry for the queen. I..."
The young eunuch choked up before he could finish his words. He used to be the chief eunuch in Concubine Dong's palace, and his future was closely related to Concubine Dong.
"Jie'er, come with me to take a look." Although he was forced to send Concubine Dong to the cold palace, he still missed her in his heart. No matter what that woman did, her love for him was unmatched.
But just as Murong Zheng stood up, he heard a voice coming from the Queen's bedroom, shouting, "Physician, come quickly, the Queen has a high fever again."
Murong Zheng paused, and for a moment, he was in a dilemma.
