"Yes, these more than twenty years have transformed me from an ordinary Emperor Ama to the emperor of the Qing Empire, and also made me understand my true intentions." After a moment of pause, he said: "Two
I want to repeat the answer I gave more than ten years ago, is that okay?"
"I am all ears and listening." Until now, Ling Ruo has been using the latent self-identification.
Staring into Ling Ruo's eyes, Yinzhen said at an extremely slow speed: "Heaven and earth serve as a guide. Niu Hulu and Ling Ruo are the people I love most in this life. Even if I have to betray everyone in the world, I will never betray you!"
Yinzhen, if I treat you with sincerity, can I exchange it for your lifelong favor?
This was the question in Ling Ruo's heart more than 20 years ago. Now, she finally got the answer, and it is the most perfect answer. After more than 20 years of staying and waiting, she finally got all the love in Yinzhen's heart. I believe that no matter what
No matter now or in the future, no woman can stand at the same height as Ling Ruo.
The tears that I had endured for a long time finally fell at this moment, crossing the delicate face and falling to the ground, but were caught by a hand in mid-air, "I hope that from now on, there will be only laughter on your face and no more sadness."
and tears." Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, Yinzhen said again: "Although I cannot dismiss the harem for you, I can canonize you as queen, so that you can truly become my wife, not a concubine."
This is what Yinzhen decided in the past few days. One palace cannot have two queens. If he wants to take Ling Ruo back, he must solve this problem. Although he and Nala have been married for many years, and Nala also
He fulfills his duties as a queen without any fault, but he is even more unwilling to live up to the
In order to protect Ling Ruo who had suffered too much, when he decided to canonize Jia Rou, who had just turned one month old, as Princess Gu Lun, he made up his mind to depose her, even if it would make him suffer verbal and written criticism from civil and military officials, even if it would
It was decided to do this to give him a reputation that was difficult to wash away.
In this life, whether he was the emperor's elder brother or was appointed to the throne as the emperor, he has been working hard to take care of the Qing Dynasty that his ancestors built with their blood and sweat. He hopes that this huge empire can become better in his hands.
, more prosperous.
Therefore, he never slacked off for a moment, and never let his own preferences affect the operation of the empire. But for a moment, he wanted to indulge himself for once, not caring about anything, and just do what he wanted to do.
Ling Ruo looked at Yinzhen with deep surprise in her eyes, "The emperor wants to depose the queen?"
Yinzhen said without any hesitation: "Yes, in my heart, you are the only one worthy of being my queen. Even if I am sorry to Lian Yi, I will do it again."
People are selfish after all, and Yinzhen is no exception. He wants to give the best and most precious things to the people he loves most.
He had already thought about it. Although he would abolish Nala's position as queen, he would not wrong her too much and make her the imperial concubine. She would still be treated like the queen in every application.
If these thoughts were known to Nala, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood and change from a queen to an imperial concubine. This would be a huge humiliation in itself. As for the cost, it would not make up for anything. She would become the laughing stock of the whole world.
Ling Ruo was deeply moved by Yinzhen's words. No one knew Yinzhen's character better than her. He always put the country first and never let his children's affairs affect the stability of the country. Just like back then.
Although Yinzhen was already disgusted with her arrogance and domineering, and even knew that she had made mistakes, in order to appease Nian Gengyao, he still tolerated Nian in every possible way and even regained her position as a noble concubine.
The harem and the former dynasty have always had an inseparable connection, and they restrained each other. But if you tear apart the surface, you will find that the harem cannot be compared with the former dynasty at all. Every woman in the harem is a pawn of the emperor and ministers.
A delicate balance between the two sides was maintained through these chess pieces, but there was never any talk of offending the civil and military officials of the dynasty for a chess piece. This was simply not what an emperor should do.
Yinzhen obviously understood this, but he still decided to do it. If he didn't really love her to the extreme, how could he do such a thing.
Ling Ruo never spoke. Yinzhen just said that she was too happy and didn't know what to say. He smiled and said: "I will draft this decree after I go back. You can stay in Guojun Prince's Mansion for a few more days and wait for the Ministry of Rites."
After preparing the canonization ceremony and the ceremony to welcome the queen, I will take you back."
"Does the emperor love you?" Ling Ruo's sudden words made Yinzhen stunned for a while before he said: "I love you, otherwise why would I do so many things."
Ling Ruo looked up at Yinzhen and said, "Yes, the emperor loves and cherishes me, and I also love and cherish the emperor. In this case, what does it matter whether she is a concubine or a queen?"
"I know you don't care, but I hope to give you the best thing to make up for the suffering you have suffered before." As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Ling Ruo said: "I know, but the emperor has already made up for it.
I have taken my concubine, so I really don’t have to do this anymore.”
Her words made Yinzhen very strange, "When have I ever made it up to you?"
Ling Ruo took a deep breath, held Yinzhen's trembling hand and said: "Since my death, the emperor has been living with guilt, because you feel that you killed me, everything is wrong."
It's your fault, so you still can't forgive yourself and get out of the shadow of killing me, otherwise you wouldn't have rolled down the Yanyi Tower in a daze. So, you have already made up for what you need to make up for."
Yinzhen was silent for a while and said, "You know everything?"
"Yes, Prince Guo and Dr. Xu both told me a lot, which made me understand the pain in the emperor's heart and what happened to the emperor. The culprit of all this was Shu Mulu. If it weren't for her despicable behavior,
If the emperor's tea is drugged, the following things will never happen."
Yinzhen smiled bitterly and said: "What you said is both right and wrong. If I hadn't chosen her to enter the palace and favored her, she would not have had the opportunity to drug me."
"Let the past go by. I don't want to worry about it anymore. The only thing I hope for now is that the whole family can be together in the future and never be separated! For me, nothing is more important than this.
It’s important.”
"I know, and I swear, I will use everything I have to protect you, Hongli and Jiarou." At this point, he finally stretched out his hand to hug Ling Ruo into his arms. When the two bodies were tightly attached to each other, they felt like each other.
The emptiness in my heart was filled in an instant.
Yinzhen hugged Ling Ruo hard, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body. If possible, he really wanted to hold her like this forever and never separate!
After a long while, he whispered in Ling Ruo's ear: "Do you like the name I gave our daughter?"
Ling Ruo leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and said, "Zhongshanfu is as virtuous as Roujiaweizi. It is a good thing that the emperor used this sentence to name our daughter."
