Ah Man never expected that her father would suddenly talk to her. She was used to getting angry when Murong Kai's father was mentioned, so she felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly praised him like this.
"Of course he has to be nice to me. I was spoiled by you, the Emperor. If he treats me badly and treats you badly, I will not marry him."
Watching Ah Man speaking proudly, Su Jing's face and eyes were full of smiles. That smile was a father's loving smile, a doting smile, and even more a smile of relief.
"You've been here for quite some time. Go and keep Xuan'er company. I'll go see Concubine Xu." Su Jing stood up as he spoke, but when he stood up, his body shook uncontrollably a few times.
During this period, he tried hard to disguise himself in front of Ah Man, but the fact that his body was getting weaker and weaker could no longer be concealed, and it seemed that he could be exposed at any time.
"Father, are you okay?" Ah Man's eyes were full of worry. She stepped forward to support Su Jing, but as soon as her hand touched Su Jing's arm, he pushed her away. He smiled at Ah Man and said softly, "What can happen to me? I was a little anxious when I got up just now. I'm fine. It's no problem for me to accompany you and your sister for a few years."
Su Jing spoke in a loud voice, as if he wanted to prove something with his loud voice. He forgot that many things are only made more obvious when they are concealed.
"Well, you have to stay with your beloved concubine and son for a few more years." Ah Man teased deliberately, and Su Jing just smiled.
"Why don't you go and accompany Xuan'er?"
"I'll go right away." As he spoke, Ah Man turned around and ran out of the imperial study. They had talked about this in detail during this period, but his father had always concealed his illness and looked in good health. However, his complexion and the weakness he tried so hard to hide could no longer be hidden.
Ah Man fled from the imperial study, ran a few steps, and came to a corner where no one was, unable to hold back her tears any longer...
After Ah Man left, Su Jing fell into a chair, touching his chest with tears in his eyes.
He knew very well that he had little time left to spend with his children.
Murong Kai has been gone for many days, so there should be good news from him...
Su Jing rested in the imperial study for a long time before slowly walking out and heading towards the virtuous concubine's bedroom.
Almost all the concubines gathered in Concubine Xu's bedroom, and the gifts they brought and the emperor's rewards filled the table in the hall.
When Su Jing walked in, it was full of joy and noise. He hadn't felt this kind of feeling for a long time.
In other words, from the day he found out that he and the queen were poisoned, such a joyful life had been far away from him.
I was touched by such joy again, and it turned out to be...
"Your Majesty, you are here." Concubine Xu looked up amid the congratulations of the crowd and saw Su Jing standing at the door in a daze.
"The sisters in the palace know that I'm pregnant, and they all come to congratulate me." Concubine Xu stood up and walked towards Su Jing with a happy and shy smile on her face, like a happy little woman.
"Don't move around if you're pregnant. Sit down and rest. Don't disturb the imperial concubine's rest." Su Jing glanced at these strange and bright faces and said unhappily.
These concubines, whom he had never favored, had previously gathered around his queen. But now, before his body has even cooled, they have moved to other places and are now currying favor with other women.
When several concubines saw the emperor's cold face, they were already afraid in their hearts. They hoped to be favored by the emperor, but were also afraid of being disliked by him. The tone of his words just now clearly showed that he disliked them for disturbing Concubine Xu's rest.
Although they are all concubines, who is the apple of the emperor's eye and who is like a worn-out shoe can be clearly seen in just one sentence.
"Everyone, go down." After Su Jing gave the order with a cold face, he smiled and took Concubine Xu's hand, and walked towards the bed not far away, while walking, he scolded Concubine Xu for not paying attention to her body.
Such warmth and care made Concubine Xu feel flattered. She never knew that being spoiled by the one you love could be so blissful.
