"I deeply respect the everlasting love. Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you." Ying Zheng sincerely agreed, but agreeing and being able to do it are two different things.
He also misses Mrs. Chu very much and will always remember him in his heart, but Ying Zheng knows that he cannot be like Li Changqing.
Not just because he is an emperor, the harem can have fewer concubines, it must not be empty, otherwise what will the people of the world think? How do they see it?
Even if Ying Zheng is not an emperor, he cannot be as loyal as Li Changqing. In the past, he was a prodigal, wandering among flowers, but Lady Chu was the first woman he truly fell in love with.
In fact, there are great differences in thoughts and temperaments between people, just like Li Changqing and himself. There is no difference between good and bad, just different temperaments.
Some people like to have three wives and four concubines, in groups of wives and concubines, playing and singing every night, and enjoying the sounds of dogs and horses. Some people like to yearn for a single, pure and perfect love, holding the hand of their son, growing old together with them, inseparable and unchanging until death.
Everyone longs for beautiful things, and the same applies even to perfect love. The only difference is that everyone desires and pursues them in different ways. The distinction between good and bad does not apply here.
As long as the two parties acquiesce, instead of forcing it through violence or using despicable means, it is too paranoid to describe it as a beast.
In Ying Zheng's opinion, Li Changqing is a very fanatical paranoid, as if a man who touches another woman has no true love in his heart.
In fact, most of the playboy men have their own unknown stories, and only a few are born playboys.
Men's lust is not a new topic, it has been the case since ancient times. The word love has hurt everyone in the world. No matter men or women, they can't escape this curse of happiness and pain coexisting.
"I'm leaving..." Ying Zheng was also infected by this atmosphere. He couldn't help but think of the happy time with Chu **, and disappeared directly after saying something to the two of them.
In the City of the Sky, in the Xianyang Palace, there is a Phoenix Palace. Except for the maids who are responsible for cleaning, no one dares to step inside.
In more than a hundred years, a man has come here again, and he is naturally Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng originally wanted to visit Chu ** as soon as he came back, but he was afraid to set foot here and see that familiar face.
In the end, he was infected by Li Changqing, and the longing in his heart defeated the fear of escaping reality, and he came here.
The Phoenix Palace is not large in scale, only a dozen feet high and covering an area of several hundred meters. A palace of this size is not conspicuous in the huge Qin Palace.
But its name is known to almost the whole country, second only to the Qin Emperor's Palace, which symbolizes the highest power palace of the Qin Empire.
As the name suggests, Phoenix Hall was named after Concubine Feng, whose body was kept here. Therefore, Phoenix Hall is famous all over the world. After Concubine Feng passed away, His Majesty gave her the title of Phoenix Queen. After that, she did not have a concubine in the past two hundred years.
, has become the talk of the world after dinner.
The deeds of Concubine Feng and His Majesty began to be widely circulated among the people, giving rise to various versions of the story.
"Feng Fei, I'm here to see you..." Ying Zheng stood in the center of the Phoenix Palace, looking at the Chu woman lying on the ice jade boat, and said softly.
"It must be very cold after sleeping on this cold bed for a hundred or two hundred years, right?" Ying Zheng seemed to have endless words to say. He placed his right hand on Chu **'s face that had not changed at all, as if he needed to feel her tenderness.
.
"I've been back for a few days, and that girl Yu'er hasn't come to see my father yet. It seems that this girl is still angry with me, alas!"
"Feng Fei, do you know? This girl Yu'er looks so much like you that I will think of you every time I see that girl. Haha, I don't even dare to see that girl anymore."
"Feng Fei, why don't you talk to me? Is it because I haven't come to see you for a hundred years, so you are angry with me?"
"Are you talking? I know I was wrong. If I hadn't forced you and let you and Chu Yunxuan leave, you wouldn't have died. It was my selfishness that killed you." Ying Zheng's emotions fluctuated.
, when he arrived at the back, he looked at Chu ** who seemed to be sleeping soundly with a regretful face, and blamed himself very much.
It has been almost two hundred years, and Ying Zheng still can't forget Chu's words and pain before she died. She felt ashamed of her ancestors because she was with her, and lived in self-blame.
At that time, the reason why Lady Chu refused to practice and refused to let Ying Zheng live was partly because he lived in a contradiction, with pain and happiness coexisting.
But more importantly, Lady Chu was a strange woman. Ying Zheng's methods back then were not brilliant, let alone glorious. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as despicable and shameless.
Ying Zheng knew this very well. Although he finally conquered Chu's heart, the stain of the past could never be erased.
Lady Chu was known as the most beautiful woman in China, and she was also the princess of the old Chu Kingdom. How could she not have any self-esteem and arrogance?
Ying Zheng felt that this was the main reason why Mrs. Chu wanted to die, and that feeling guilty about seeking death was just a way to comfort himself.
Since then, Ying Zheng has never touched another woman. As for choosing a concubine, Ying Zheng has not chosen one since he came here. After experiencing this tragedy, Ying Zheng vowed that he would never choose a concubine again.
Power compels any woman.
"Bold, who broke into the palace without permission?" Ying Zheng, who was lost in memories, suddenly became alert and shouted immediately.
Ying Zheng secretly thought that he was lost in thought, otherwise how could he have been discovered by someone approaching ten meters away? However, after seeing the person coming, Ying Zheng's originally heavy heart was immediately overwhelmed by surprise.
"Yu'er pays homage to your father. May your father live forever." Ying Yu's figure appeared in front of Ying Zheng and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"We haven't seen each other for a hundred years, and Yu'er is starting to look more and more like your mother." Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yu's face that looked a lot like Chu's and felt very comforted in his heart.
"Father, is this really because of you?" Ying Yu did not say anything clearly, but looked at his father with a pleading look on his face, hoping to get an answer of "no".
"You heard it right, your mother did die because of me." Ying Zheng knew that he had already deceived his daughter once in good faith, and he was unwilling to deceive her again, so he nodded directly and said with a sad look on his face.
.
"Why?" Ying Yu asked with a painful expression.
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at his daughter thoughtfully and said, "This is very complicated, I can't explain it."
Seeing her father's face suddenly become serious, Ying Yu's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly realized. She understood that the man in front of her was not only her father, but also the king of the world.
"Yu'er made a mistake, please punish me." Ying Yu was no longer the innocent and ignorant girl she used to be, and she immediately knelt down and said.
Ying Zheng sighed slightly in his heart, the ruthless emperor's family, at this moment he seemed to understand the true meaning of this sentence.
It's not that the royal family doesn't have family affection and true love, but that no matter what kind of love they have, they must be under the imperial power and make way for the imperial power.
"Yu'er, you are the princess of the Great Qin Empire. Remember, the Great Qin Empire can only have one force, and that is the court, and it can only have one leader, and that is me. Disband the Goddess Palace and move it back to the palace!"
Ying Zheng looked at his somewhat surprised daughter and said cruelly.
"Father, the Goddess Palace was created by Yu'er, why should we solve it..." Although Ying Yu knows that her father's destiny is greater than the mountain, and your king's destiny is greater than the sky, she still wants to fight for the dissolution of the Goddess Palace that she has worked so hard on.
Can make the father change his mind.
"The imperial court will make a big move in the near future. As a princess, you must set an example. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it, but the imperial army will not let the Goddess Palace go just because you are a princess...
"Ying Zheng couldn't bear to look at his daughter's expression anymore, so he walked out after saying that.
When he walked to the door, Ying Zheng's cold voice sounded again: "Yu'er, you are very smart. I believe you will not let the goddess's palace bleed into a river..." After saying that, Ying Zheng disappeared at the door.
"Father, is it really that important to consolidate the rule of the Qin Empire? Does Yu'er really have no place in your heart?" The corners of Ying Yu's eyes were moist, and a teardrop scratched her beautiful face. (To be continued...
