After meeting Dong, Murong Zheng completely gave up on her.
If Dong was smart and followed Murong Zheng's wishes, after all, they had slept in the same bed for more than ten years. As long as she admitted her mistake, Murong Zheng would not kill her.
However, Concubine Dong was born in a poor family and did not have the bearing of a lady from a wealthy family. She had been locked up in Qingliang Palace for the past few days and was already very angry with Murong Zheng. Therefore, it was impossible for her to play the emotional card, which could only make the already cold relationship between the two people fall into the abyss.
Of course, Murong Zheng did not realize that he had been blessed by the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor until now. While he was still thinking of pretending to be poisoned and unconscious, someone eliminated all the hidden dangers during his disguise.
Therefore, he does not need to worry about state affairs at all. The generals left by the previous emperor are loyal, and the eldest prince trained by the Empress Dowager is already capable of turning the tide. Therefore, even if he does not care about state affairs, the Great Zhou can enjoy peace.
This also allowed Murong Zheng to focus all his attention on Concubine Jin. Thirteen years of indifference had already chilled Concubine Jin's heart, so Murong Zheng was at a loss as to how to treat Concubine Jin.
Murong Zheng made Concubine Jin the Imperial Noble Concubine out of impulse, in order to let Dong know that he could give her the thing she had always desired but could not get.
Afterwards, Murong Zheng did not regret it. Concubine Jin had won his heart more than ten years ago and gave birth to a son for him. If it were not for the assassin's incident that year, Concubine Jin would have been conferred the title of Noble Concubine after giving birth to Murong Kai. After more than ten years, the position of Imperial Noble Concubine should have belonged to her long ago.
After finishing speaking at the gate of Qingliang Palace, Murong Zheng came back and had someone write the imperial edict and seal it, and sent it over along with the edict along with a series of rewards.
Concubine Jin didn't want to get close to him, but with her position in the harem, she wouldn't refuse these daily necessities, right
Murong Zheng was a little unsure. He worried for a long time before he waited for the eunuch to come back with the imperial edict.
Concubine Jin calmly accepted the imperial edict conferring the title of Imperial Noble Concubine, and did not reject the things from his past.
Murong Zheng felt delighted when he heard this.
He felt that Concubine Jin had not closed her heart as he said, and she still left him some possibilities. As an emperor of a country, there was nothing he could not do if he wanted to pamper a woman. As long as she wanted what he gave her, he would give her the best things. He believed that water dripping could wear away a stone, not to mention that his Concubine Jin was such a gentle woman, and she was the most soft-hearted.
What Murong Zheng didn't know was that Concubine Jin was not soft-hearted towards him. The reason why she accepted Murong Zheng's kindness and the position of Imperial Noble Concubine was not because she still had deep feelings for Murong Zheng. At the beginning, when he decisively chose Concubine Dong and gave up Murong Kai, she completely broke off her feelings for Murong Zheng.
The only thing she wanted to do now was to make up to Murong Kai and give him the best.
The position of Imperial Noble Consort raised her status in the harem. She could use her status as Imperial Noble Consort to find a wife for Murong Kai from a high-class family. As for the rewards from Murong Zheng and the betrothal gifts at that time, she didn't want to just accept those from the Ministry of Rites according to the rules.
Naturally, she wanted to give her son the best of everything. Only in this way could she make up for the guilt in her heart.
After receiving the imperial edict to promote her to the title of Imperial Noble Consort, what Concubine Jin was thinking about was which girl had reached marriageable age and what kind of lady she should find for her son.
She couldn't wait to ask someone to invite Murong Kai. She wanted to know what kind of woman her son wanted.
Of course, Su A'man is an exception. A girl who is so ostentatious and spoiled is not a good match for Akai. Akai's wife should be a gentle lady from a noble family who can give him warmth, care for him, and accompany him until old age.
What Concubine Jin didn't know was that her son had already fallen, and when A'man didn't say anything, he had already done it regardless of everything.
