That night, Xuan Ningxuan drafted two imperial edicts and decided to go and explain it to Jasmine and Nishang in person.
Xuan Ningxuan pondered for a while, and finally decided to go to Nishang first, the brothel girl he had only favored once by marrying him with the ceremony of a princess.
"Xuan, you have to go out." Murong Jingwan called to Xuan Ningxuan, but her eyes were fixed on the two imperial edicts in Xuan Ningxuan's hands.
Xuan Ningxuan stopped and comforted with a smile: "Jingwan, I'll be back soon!"
Murong Jingwan did not stop her, and nodded gently, with a faint sad look in her eyes. She knew where Xuan Ningxuan was going, and the imperial edict in her hand determined the fate of Jasmine and Nishang.
Xuan Ningxuan hurriedly came to Nishang's palace alone with an imperial edict. Since becoming the emperor, he had never set foot in Nishang's palace.
Wandering outside Nishang's palace, Xuan Ningxuan didn't know how to face her.
The days are too long and the nights are too painful. Although the days in the palace are free, they are terrifyingly lonely.
"Your Majesty, this servant sends your regards to your Majesty." The respectful voice of the palace maid suddenly came from outside the door, successfully interrupting Nishang's meditation.
Nishang quickly stood up and tidied her bun, her face full of joy. The emperor is here? Did the emperor finally remember her?
Nishang quickly opened the door to the bedroom, unable to conceal the joy in her eyes.
Facing Nishang's happy face, Xuan Ningxuan looked ashamed. He was not here to favor her, but just to cut off all her hopes.
"Your Majesty, I would like to send you my regards," Nishang bowed and said, turning sideways to make way for Xuan Ningxuan.
Xuan Ningxuan's hand holding the imperial decree tightened unconsciously, and he quickly walked into Nishang's bedroom.
Nishang signaled the palace maid to leave, closed the door herself, and walked shyly in front of Xuan Ningxuan.
"Your Majesty!" Nishang called softly.
"Nishang, I came here tonight to give you this imperial edict." Xuan Ningxuan handed one of the imperial edicts to Nishang.
Nishang immediately stood up, quickly knelt on the ground, and took the imperial edict, thinking in her mind whether the emperor wanted to make her a noble concubine.
"Open Nishang and take a look." Xuan Ningxuan couldn't help but remind him when he saw that Nishang had not opened the imperial edict for a long time.
Nishang nodded and opened the imperial edict carefully. After a while, Nishang seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to leave the palace." Tears slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes and fell on the imperial edict, blurring the black writing.
Xuan Ningxuan was not shocked at all and comforted her softly: "Nishang, I let you leave the palace because I hope you can find someone who truly loves you and live the life you want."
Nishang gently shook her head. She knew very early that Xuan Ningxuan did not belong to her. But from the day Xuan Ningxuan redeemed his life for her, she fell in love with this supreme man.
Her heart was left in the palace, where else could she go?
"Your Majesty, Ni Chang just wants to live in the palace for the rest of her life." Ni Chang said calmly. If she doesn't leave, she will at least have a chance to see Xuan Ningxuan. If she leaves, she will never see that supreme person again.
Xuan Ningxuan looked at Nishang in confusion, "Why don't you want to leave the palace and are still nostalgic for the days in the palace? I will give you enough gold, silver and jewelry to live a prosperous life for you.
Nishang shook her head bitterly. She didn't care about money at all. All she cared about was Xuan Ningxuan.
"Your Majesty, I am a brothel girl, and I won't have a good home after leaving the palace. I know that the emperor only has the empress in his heart. I don't ask for anything. I just ask the emperor not to drive me out of the palace."
Xuan Ningxuan sighed softly. He had never thought that Nishang had such deep feelings for him.
"Ni Chang, please keep the imperial edict. If you want to leave the palace one day, I will definitely let you leave." Xuan Ningxuan stood up and helped Ni Chang, who was lying on the ground, onto a chair.
Nishang nodded gently, she would never use that imperial edict in her life.
"Nishang, you go to bed early, I'll leave first." Xuan Ningxuan said softly.
Nishang knew that the other imperial decree in Xuan Ningxuan's hands was definitely for Jasmine, but she didn't know if Jasmine could really let it go.
Xuan Ningxuan walked towards Leng Gong with an indifferent expression. If he still felt a little guilty and pity for Nishang, he didn't feel any pity for Jasmine Xuan Ningxuan.
He knew everything Jasmine did, and he knew how she abused Murong Jingwan back then, but he chose to ignore it at that time.
Jasmine sat alone in the empty garden, looking at the desolate night.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Jasmine stood up quickly. Who else would come to her bedroom so late? Could it be that she was here to humiliate her maid again?
Looking into the distance in panic, Jasmine's face was full of shock when she saw the face of the person coming.
"Your Majesty!" Jasmine's eyes couldn't hide the joy. Is the Emperor ready to favor her?
Xuan Ningxuan ignored Jasmine and walked straight into the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from my concubine?" Jasmine's eyes were fixed on the imperial edict in Xuan Ningxuan's hand. Could it be that the Emperor was planning to let her leave the palace.
"Jasmine, this is the imperial edict for you." Xuan Ningxuan said word for word.
Jasmine couldn't wait to receive the imperial edict, forgetting to salute, and quickly opened the edict.
After quickly reading the imperial edict, Jasmine's face was filled with a look of despair and death.
"Your Majesty, you want me to leave the palace." Jasmine couldn't help but swayed, holding on to the table on one side with her right hand to prevent herself from falling.
"Yes, I will reward you with some gold, silver and jewelry, and you will never be poor in your life." Xuan Ningxuan promised.
Leaving the palace? Jasmine smiled sadly. She had been Xuan Ningxuan's concubine for so many years, but in the end she ended up like this.
Did she do too many wrong things in the past, and all this now is her retribution?
"Your Majesty, I obey your decree." Jasmine slowly knelt on the ground and said word by word.
Xuan Ningxuan nodded and said slowly: "Before leaving the palace, you only need to tell the father-in-law in the Jingsi Room, and they will give you the money to leave the palace."
Without waiting for Jasmine to react, Xuan Ningxuan quickly walked out of the cold palace.
He has been out for a long time, and he doesn't want Murong Jingwan to wait too long.
After Xuan Ningxuan left, Jasmine burst into tears, and the tears on her face reflected the sorrow of her life.
I don't know how long I sat on the cold ground, but I felt so distressed that I couldn't feel any cold.
Suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of me, blocking the candlelight in the inner hall.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jasmine's eyes, and she called joyfully: "Your Majesty!"
When she raised her head, she realized that the man in front of her was not Xuan Ningxuan. Jasmine backed away in fear and said in a panic: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The man slowly approached Jasmine, his face covered so that no expression could be seen.
"You will know who I am soon?" the man said coldly. When she gets to the underworld, she can ask the King of Hell who killed her.
