Chapter 258 It's time to sleep
"Why don't you resist? Do you want to die?" Hyman moistened a veil and applied Wen Caiqing's blue neck.
Wen Caiqing smiled invisibly, "I hate that woman very much. If she kills me and gets guilty, I will also take revenge!"
"Why do you suffer so much!" Hyman sighed slightly.
"I always thought that Yi Yun was the only man who moved my heart, so I never wanted to be his enemy..."
Haiman didn't know why she suddenly said this, and didn't say anything. He listened to her quietly.
"But now I understand that what I miss is not him, but the plain and warm feeling when we are together." Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, with a little more brilliance in her eyes. "I would have longed for plainness. If it had been before yesterday, I would never admit it. I have always known what kind of woman I am, vain and pretentious.
"There is nothing wrong with these two!" Haiman heard her hoarse voice and poured a glass of warm water for her to moisten her throat.
Wen Caiqing took a sip of water, "Yes, that's not wrong. But I indulge my vanity and pretentiousness. Is this the beginning of my mistake? From the moment I met the emperor, I began to calculate, always thinking about his thoughts and trying to use him to climb to the highest position of power. I once arrogantly declared that I would not like him and would only use him. Because I think liking a king is the beginning of losing. I thought I would win with my intelligence!
But when he tried his best to help me block the knife and didn't move in my arms, I was scared. For the first time in my life, I was so scared. Then I realized that he was so important to me that I couldn't lose him!"
She turned her dry eyes and looked into Hyman's eyes, "Man, do you know that feeling of emptiness? Not only the heart, but also the feeling that the whole person has been hollowed out?"
Haman nodded, "I know!" When she embarked on the journey of exile and separated from Yi Yun, she felt that feeling.
"Do you know? I haven't shed a tear since the doctor announced the death of the emperor!"
"It is said that people can't shed tears when they are in extreme pain!"
"Yes!" Wen Cai lowered his eyes quietly, "At the moment I lost him, I knew that I was wrong from the beginning. I regard his love for me as a bargaining chip, profligate and trample, and regard ignorance and cruelty as free and easy. I thought the bet on this game was the throne of the queen, but I didn't realize that he was my only bet from when. Without him, I would have lost all the game.
Haman shook her hand and said, "You haven't lost. You still have children, don't you?"
A trace of pain flashed in Wen Caiqing's eyes and shook his head, "No, I lost completely because of this child!"
Haman didn't know what she meant, but when he saw her weakness, he advised, "It's already like this. My condolences. The emperor knows something about it, and he doesn't want you to be like this. You'd better sleep and stop talking. I'll come to see you again!"
"Yes, I should go to bed!" Wen Caiqing smiled and held Hyman's hand. "If there is a chance to do it again, I hope that the emperor and I will be born in an ordinary family, love each other plainly, and grow old. Man'er, cherish Yi Yun. He is a good man.
"Well, I will!" Hyman nodded and helped her lie down. Seeing her close her eyes, she went out.
On the way back to Shou'an Palace, she always felt something in her heart and uncomfortable. After tasting Wen Caiqing's words carefully, he suddenly changed his face and ran back!
Empress Dowager Shu had a headache because of Susan's crying, "I'm tired. You'd better go back first. Let's talk about this later!"
Susan knelt there and refused to leave. "Empress dowager, my concubine is not convinced. The emperor did not give a decree. Even if she is not the queen, she can only be regarded as a maidservant. Why do you want her to take care of the harem? Besides, the emperor died, and the eldest prince should succeed to the throne. The concubine is the biological mother of the eldest prince, and naturally she will be the empress dowager. I didn't let my mother be the imperial concubine, and let an unknown woman be the empress dowager, right?
When Empress Dowager Shu heard this, she was furious from her heart. "My family always thought that although you sometimes acted recklessly, you still knew the general situation. But I never thought that as soon as the emperor died, you came to fight for fame and fortune. Do you still have any conscience? No wonder those ministers refused to let you come forward to preside over the overall situation. They are more accurate than the mourning family.
"Empress dowager, concubine..."
"Enough!" Empress Dowager Shu interrupted her, "The mourning family didn't say that the eldest prince would inherit the throne. Don't think about what the Empress Dowager would do!"
Susan's face suddenly changed, "Empress Dowager, what do you mean by this? If the eldest prince is not allowed to inherit the throne, then... will the second prince and the third prince be allowed? They are three years old and four years old..."
"My family didn't say it was them!"
There are only three princes, not the eldest or the second and third. Who else is there? Then..."
Susan still wanted to ask, but she saw a palace man hurried into the door and reported, "Empress Dowager, Lord Yi took several adults out to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress!"
Empress Dowager Shu knew that they were here to urge the establishment of the new king and looked at Jinggu, "Hasn't the child come back yet?"
"Look for the maidservant!" Jing's aunt was about to go out, and she stepped in as soon as she read.
Empress Dowager Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him and asked, "Have you seen anyone?"
Shallow reading nodded, "Yes!"
"So what about your decision?"
Qian's eyes flashed, "I will inherit the throne, but I have a condition!"
"What? Inheriting the throne? You?" Before the shallow pronunciation fell, Susan stared at him with wide eyes, "What are you? Why did you inherit the throne?"
Empress Dowager Shu was angry, "Come on, drag her out and lock her up. No one is allowed to let her out without the order!"
"Yes!" Several palace people answered and dragged Susan out.
Susan struggled desperately, "Let go of me... Empress Dowager, please make it clear why he wants to inherit the throne? What is he? What about the eldest prince..."
Empress Dowager Shu ignored her and waved her hand to let the palace people drag the noisy Susan out all the way. After a smooth ride, he looked at the shallow reading, "Do you think you have a condition?"
"Yes!" Qian read nodded, "After the Empress Li gave birth to the child, please ask the Empress Dowager to adopt him to me!"
After coming out of Wen Caiqing, he walked in the palace for a long time and thought about it carefully. Even if Wen Caiqing refused to agree to be with him, the child in her belly was probably his. He can only protect their mother and son by becoming emperor, so he still decided to be the emperor!
"Why?" Empress Dowager Shu was surprised and puzzled by the conditions he proposed. Jing's face is also full of doubts.
"Please don't ask the reason!" In just an hour, he knew his background, was asked to take on the heavy responsibilities of the country, and was severely dumped by his beloved woman. His mind was already very confused and he was not in the mood to explain!
Even though Empress Dowager Shu was curious, she didn't want to force him. After all, his request was not too much, and it was still a good thing for her, so she nodded, "Okay, I promise you. Let's go out to meet those ministers..."
"Empress Dowager, it's not good!" A palace man ran in in panic, "Concubine Li... something happened..."
