Chapter 054: Freedom Restored

"The time I spent with you in Jinling was the happiest time of my life." The emperor talked about the past like a few treasures, every experience, every detail is vivid. Speaking of emotion, even the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Empire is a little teary-eyed.

The emperor took Concubine Ping in his arms and apologized again and again, "Concubine Ai, it's me who is not good, and over the years, it is I who have snubbed you." I assure you that I will treat you the same way I did to you. ”

The affection of that glance is enough to intoxicate a woman. How much tolerance and understanding is contained in this sentence of past blame, which is a crime of deception.

Concubine Ping was almost moved, in her life, she had only loved this one man, how could that unforgettable feeling be easily forgotten. However, this love is unforgettable, and hate is even more devastating. After going through that kind of pain, she couldn't easily open up and give herself to anyone.

Concubine Ping didn't speak, she just gently rested her head on the emperor's shoulder, and with this leaning, she clearly realized that this once warm chest could no longer give her the slightest sense of security.

The emperor caressed Concubine Ping's fair face and looked at it dotingly as if admiring a work of art, "Promise me, don't hurt yourself again, I promise you, I will come to see you every day in the future." ”

Concubine Ping's face turned red, like a shy girl, and she nodded with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Hui on the side was so angry that this time not only did she not achieve her goal, but instead pushed Concubine Ping to the emperor's side. She couldn't help but scold secretly in her heart, this little goblin is really profound, and he deceived the emperor with just two words.

However, the queen was very calm. She is a smart woman, she has been running the harem for so many years, and she has already figured out the emperor's thoughts about Concubine Ping, so there is no need to be jealous. As the mother of a country, she understands very well that if she wants to maintain her status and status, she does not rely on competing with other women to be jealous.

Concubine Ping raised her head slightly, and a gentle look fell on the emperor's face, "Your Majesty can put the poems and paintings?" ”

The emperor looked at the person in front of him who he had loved deeply, and he couldn't say anything to refuse, "Okay, it's all up to you, I immediately ordered Liu Shihua to be released." ”

Concubine Ping smiled, her heart was steady, and she snuggled quietly in the emperor's arms.

The emperor instructed the queen and others to step down, and he patiently accompanied Ping Guifei in the Zijin Palace until Ping Guifei fell asleep.

In fact, Concubine Ping didn't fall asleep, but just coping with the dress and sleeping, and sent the emperor away euphemistically.

When the emperor left the Zijin Palace, Liu Shihua also came back from the Zhishu Pavilion, and she rushed over to visit Concubine Ping as soon as possible.

"Seeing that the mother's body is well, the poems and paintings are relieved." Liu Shihua saw that Concubine Ping woke up, her complexion also recovered, and she finally put her mind at ease.

Concubine Ping took Shihua's hand and looked at her distressedly, "These days, you have been wronged." ”

Liu Shihua shook her head, "Poetry and painting are fine, as long as the mother gets better, everything will be fine." ”

Concubine Ping smiled warmly, and seemed to be very interested in Liu Shihua's concern.

"By the way, the poems and paintings also want to congratulate the mother on regaining her favor." What the emperor did in the Zijin Palace, Liu Shihua had already heard about it, and she was happy for Concubine Ping in her heart.

However, Concubine Ping was not as happy as Liu Shihua expected, she just sighed lightly, "Actually, this palace doesn't care about this. ”

Liu Shihua glanced at Concubine Ping suspiciously, don't you care? Why is it so worthless in her eyes that it is regarded as a lifelong pursuit by all harem women?

"When I married into the palace, the palace favored the harem, and I also intrigued with those concubines, and was jealous, the palace was not for status, nor for power, but because I really loved the emperor in my heart and wanted to occupy it alone. However, after experiencing the destruction of the family, that feeling can never come back, compared to the ethereal infinite scenery, this palace would rather live a plain life in the palace. So for so many years, the palace has been living peacefully in the Purple Palace. Concubine Ping explained lightly.

"Then this time, why did Niangniang ...... again" Liu Shihua wanted to ask the doubts in her heart, but she took it back halfway through the sentence, not knowing how to phrase it.

"Why did you deceive the emperor by hypocrisy?" Concubine Ping smiled shallowly, helping Liu Shihua to make up for what she didn't ask, this smile seemed to be self-deprecating.

"Poetry and painting believe that Niangniang has a hard time." Liu Shihua didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort and understand without pain.

Concubine Ping nodded, "Well, you're right, this palace does have the hardships of this palace." Poetry and painting, who do you think is making trouble this time? ”

This is also the question that Liu Shihua has been thinking about these days, although she already has a rough answer, but in front of Ping Guifei, she still doesn't dare to say, "Poetry and painting don't dare to speculate, but poetry and painting will never believe that as Niangniang said, it was Niangniang's doing." ”

Concubine Ping smiled bitterly, "Yes, of course it's not the palace itself." No matter who it is, this person's spearhead has already been aimed at the Zijin Palace, if this palace doesn't make a move, will it be slaughtered by others? In this harem, no matter how sophisticated the strategy, no matter how powerful the ingenuity, it is not as good as a talisman, and this talisman is a holy grace. ”

Holy Grace? Oh, yes. The protagonist in the harem is not the queen, let alone the concubine, but the supreme emperor.

"Poetry and painting understood. This time, the mother tried her best to save the poems and paintings, and the poems and paintings were grateful. Liu Shihua knew that a large part of the reason why Concubine Ping had done so much was to save her.

Concubine Ping touched Liu Shihua's head, "Silly boy, this palace is not only for you, this time they hurt you, who knows who will be next time?" This palace is doing this for the sake of the entire Purple Gold Palace. ”

"By the way, did Silan never look for you? She's reckless, and if there's anything she does too far, don't mind. Concubine Ping changed her words and asked about this matter.

"Sister Lan did find poetry and painting, she cares about Niangniang very much, and she wants to find out the murderer of Niangniang." I don't know why, obviously I only called it once, but this "Sister Lan" is used to being called.

When Concubine Ping heard Liu Shihua call her so affectionately, she smiled knowingly, "Sister Lan? Since they are called sisters, this palace is not worried about any misunderstanding between you. About Si Lan Jue, one day, this palace will tell you. ”

Liu Shihua nodded mechanically, and unconsciously remembered the Qingtian Sword again, did that matter have anything to do with Ping Guifei? After several entanglements, Liu Shihua suppressed his impulse and did not ask.
