Liu Hongjing laughed after listening to Luo Lianyi's words and said, "What a thousand years later? You are just making it up to deceive me."
"Wouldn't I commit the crime of deceiving the emperor by lying to you? How dare I? What I said is true. I come from modern times. My family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so I am proficient in medical skills. Think about it, Dongling's original Luo Lianyi
, grew up in the countryside and never went to school, how could she be a doctor?" Luo Lianyi argued anxiously.
"You made me confused." Liu Hongjing frowned and looked at her.
"Then let me tell you slowly how I got here." Luo Lianyi said.
"Okay, please speak slowly and make it clear, and I will believe you." Liu Hongjing nodded.
Luo Lianyi then told her story from beginning to end, starting from her dream that day, which made Liu Hongjing look suspicious.
"Is there really such a bizarre thing in the world? Does the prince know your origin?" he asked.
"The prince knows, so he won't regard me as the reincarnation of his mother-in-law." Luo Lianyi replied.
After hearing this, Liu Hongjing's face turned gloomy. He pondered for a while and said, "I won't believe what you say. You just want to make me believe that you are not Xi'er, and then you and the prince -"
When he said this, his face turned to one side, his eyes filled with anger.
"Your Majesty! I am telling the truth. It is indeed the prince that I love. What's the point of forcing me to stay with you? I think the reincarnated Xi'er you are talking about must be Luo who jumped off a cliff and died.
Lianyi, not me." Luo Lianyi continued to argue with courage.
"Jumped off a cliff and died? You mean my Xi'er died again?" Liu Hongjing roared.
"No, maybe she's not dead. Brother Feng Lin has always believed that she's not dead. Maybe she switched with me and went to my world?" Luo Lianyi shook her head and said weakly.
"Nonsense! I don't believe a word of your words! Remember! You are my woman! You can never look at the prince again!" Liu Hongjing stood up, grabbed Luo Lianyi's arms, and said sternly.
"I'm not your woman! Why are you so stubborn!" Luo Lianyi looked at him stubbornly.
"You——" Liu Hongjing was furious, his face flushed, and he coughed suddenly. Luo Lianyi had no choice but to help him sit down and pour him a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, your blood pressure is high. Don't get angry like this in the future. You may suffer a stroke and become paralyzed."
"If you weren't angry with me, I wouldn't be so angry!" Liu Hongjing said angrily.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, okay? By the way, let me tell you something." Luo Lianyi stood beside him and said.
"What's the matter?" Liu Hongjing asked.
"Princess Jing is pregnant again. Although she went to southern Xinjiang, the child she is carrying will always be of royal blood and your grandson. Shouldn't you be happy?" Luo Lianyi said.
After hearing her words, Liu Hongjing's face was indeed happy, but then he became sad again.
"Huo'er's behavior makes me sad. I will never forgive him!"
"Actually, I'm really not begging for mercy for him. I'm begging for mercy for the princess. The princess is so pitiful." Luo Lianyi sighed softly.
"That is indeed a good child. It's a pity that she chose the wrong person at the beginning. She chose the prince, the second prince, and the third prince will not end up like this." Liu Hongjing said.
Luo Lianyi thought to herself: "How can I choose the prince?" She said: "Although she was confused and did wrong things to help the emperor, but she was deceived by King Jing. Please forgive her."
"For the sake of the emperor and grandson, I won't care about her anymore. She went back to southern Xinjiang. It's a pity for the emperor and grandson. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet her." Liu Hongjing sighed.
"The days will be long in the future. Don't be too pessimistic, Your Majesty. As long as King Jing sincerely repents, they will all come back to you in the future." Luo Lianyi comforted.
"Repent, will you repent? And she -" Liu Hongjing fell silent again.
Luo Lianyi knew that he was talking about Duanmu Yunji, and she really didn't know what to say to that woman.
"When she was with me, I hated her to the core. Now that she is gone, I feel pity in my heart when I think about how she has to live in a foreign land and depend on others at such an old age." Liu Hongjing sighed.
Luo Lianyi smiled slightly and said: "As a woman, her life has been very miserable. Although she is a queen, because of the arrival of Concubine Xi, she has lost the emperor's love and the joy of being a woman. In the long night, the lonely lamp
Loneliness, she must have shed too many tears, and her sins could not have been caused by the emperor."
"I know, so I usually turn a blind eye to what she does, because I feel guilty about her." Liu Hongjing said.
"All hatred ultimately needs love to resolve. Your Majesty, I think you should have a good talk with King Jing. Wouldn't it be better if the grudges between father and son could be eliminated and your relatives could surround you?" Luo Lianyi asked.
Liu Hongjing thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as you said. I have lost confidence and trust in him."
"You are already forgiving them in your heart, why not give it a try?" Luo Lianyi said softly.
Liu Hongjing was silent, and after a while he said, "I'm tired, you can go down first."
Luo Lianyi hurriedly knelt down and retreated. As soon as she left the palace door, she saw Concubine Xue Shu, accompanied by the palace maid, waiting quietly in the corridor.
"Concubine Shu." Luo Lianyi saluted. She knew that Concubine Xue Shu had been standing outside for so long because she was worried about a conflict between her and the emperor so that she could come in at any time to smooth things over. This kind-hearted woman really made her admire her.
"Sister Lianyi, the emperor didn't give you any trouble, did he?" Concubine Xue Shu asked.
"No, Concubine Shu, I'm going back to Shicui Palace. You can go in and take care of the Emperor." Luo Lianyi smiled, excused herself and left.
Concubine Xue Shu entered the Ruoxi Palace and saw that the emperor looked tired, so she did not ask any more questions. She ordered the maids to serve the emperor to wash himself, undress and rest.
Liu Hongjing was lying on the bed, but he still didn't feel sleepy. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Concubine Xue Shu asked.
Liu Hongjing said: "I miss the princess."
Concubine Xue Shu leaned against him, smiled softly, and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you love the princess deeply, but don't be too anxious. The princess will one day understand your love for her and accept you."
"I'm not missing the princess now, but I'm thinking about some of the things she said. I don't know if they are true. Concubine Shu, do you think the princess looks like a child who can lie?" Liu Hongjing turned sideways and said,
asked.
"No, I think the princess is the most sincere. How could she lie and deceive the emperor? What did she tell you?" Concubine Xue Shu said.
"She said that her soul and body are not the same person." Liu Hongjing said.
"What? I didn't understand." Concubine Xue Shu was confused.
Liu Hongjing said: "That's why I feel that what the princess said is so unbelievable to me. She actually said that she came from the world a thousand years later and was possessed by Luo Lianyi in Dongling, and Dongling
But Luo Lianyi has jumped off the cliff and died."
