The emperor knew that after so many years, there was still no way to escape many things.
Even if you try to escape and seal it up, what happened still happened, and no one can erase all their traces.
Even if the traces are wiped away, the memory is still as clear as if it happened yesterday.
The veins are clear and the pain is clear, making it impossible to hide or forget.
The debts of the past must be repaid eventually.
In the midst of the emperor's random thoughts, the emperor arrived at Cuiwei Palace.
In the second half of the night, before dawn, Cuiwei Palace was lying docilely in the darkness like a sleeping beast, with its outline hazy and mist.
When they arrived at Cuiwei Palace, the royal chariot stopped, and the eunuch who opened the way immediately went to call the door.
The eunuch guarding the gate was so shocked when he saw the imperial chariot that he could not even hear his own voice. You must know that the emperor usually came to Concubine Hui's palace during the day and had not appeared at night for many years.
Moreover, Concubine Li Hui had been having trouble with the emperor recently because of the matter of the princess. The two hardly saw each other. The emperor suddenly arrived in the middle of the night. How could it not surprise people.
The eunuch guarding the door was stunned for a moment, but the eunuch who called the door scolded him lightly: "You are dreaming. The emperor is here, why don't you hurry up and inform the empress."
The eunuch suddenly woke up from a dream, and immediately shouted in a high voice: "The emperor has arrived——"
With such a shout, the entire Cuiwei Palace suddenly woke up from its deep sleep. The lights in the main hall immediately lit up, and everyone from the palace maids to the eunuchs became active.
The main hall of Cuiwei Palace and the east and west auxiliary halls were all occupied by Concubine Li Hui. The other low-ranking concubines who lived together were in other auxiliary halls and side halls. They were all sent to Qianqing Palace when the emperor came to visit her.
Therefore, they felt that the emperor's visit this time must be for the sake of Concubine Hui.
Concubine Li Hui, who was not feeling very well, was also awakened by her close aunt and maid. She stared blankly, as if she was still in a dream.
She didn't come back to her senses until the palace maid said it again, "The emperor is here?"
The palace maid Caiping nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here. He is already outside the palace. Please help your Majesty to change her clothes."
Although Concubine Li Hui was angry with the emperor, she still had to abide by the proper etiquette and respectability.
She hummed and got up, and the lady in charge of the palace, Dou Niang, immediately ordered the maids to come and dress the empress.
Even if you don’t need to put on makeup, you still need to slightly smooth your hair and pull it up.
Soon, the emperor strode into the palace accompanied by Liu Yu, while the other guards and eunuchs were left outside.
The emperor strode in front, while Liu Yu ordered the eunuchs and maids in the palace to retreat one after another.
After a while, Chang had entered the inner hall, and Concubine Li Hui immediately brought people forward to greet her.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Concubine Hui, please take a seat." He said and took a seat on the big Kang near the window.
When Concubine Li Hui stood up and sat down on the chair next to her with some anxiety, Liu Yu stepped forward and said: "My Lady, please talk to Your Majesty, and I will go ask Lady Dou for a cup of tea."
When Dou Niang saw this, she knew that the emperor had something to tell Li Huifei, and she couldn't help but look at Li Huifei worriedly.
Li Huifei nodded towards her and told her to go ahead.
Madam Dou took Caiping with her, leaving only Concubine Li Hui and the emperor talking in the inner hall.
