"Didn't I tell you to follow Ruyi? How could she have something to do with the emperor?"

The guards I sent to follow Ruyi looked at each other: "On weekdays, my subordinates have always followed the second miss, but my subordinates in the palace can't get in."

Yes, for some reason in the past few days, Concubine Zhuang has summoned Ruyi into the palace from time to time, but Ruyi is unwilling to confide in me the slightest news.

It turned out that he was on the emperor?

Although it is a big disrespect, who doesn't know that the emperor is not diligent enough, more than mediocre, and there are nearly 100 concubines.

I hurried to Pei Heng's study: "The concubine begged the prince to save Ruyi."

Pei Heng flipped through the pages of the book, but he didn't even look at me: "Song Ruyi is going to enter the palace as a concubine, why not save it?"

"Ruyi, she can't enter the palace! Ruyi's temperament, I know, she is not suitable for the harem at all."

Pei Heng snapped and closed the book: "How do you know that she is not suitable? This king has heard that she is quite popular with all the ladies in the harem these days."

Whether he likes it, or sees Ruyi as a lamb to the slaughter, who knows?

"But," Pei Heng's voice changed, "If you agree to my request, I might be able to help you get around."

"What requirements?"

Pei Heng's gaze fell on my lower abdomen: "This king has no children under his knees, and Concubine Zhuang's words that day reminded this king, this king is now alone in the backyard, and you should have a child."

I was shocked, Pei Heng still wants to have a child with me?

But after so many years, things have long been wrong, and I pulled the corners of my mouth with difficulty: "The prince is joking with the concubine."

Pei Heng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What? You don't want to give birth to this king? Still don't want this king's children to call Pei Shuo their father in the future?"

My hand trembled and stroked my lower abdomen, and I smiled miserably: "The prince misunderstood, it was the concubine who couldn't give birth to children."

I married Pei Shuo for a year, and most of the grace fell on me, so it didn't take long for me to get pregnant.

But one of Pei Shuo's favorite concubines hated me for being favored, and a bowl of Juezi soup fell on my unformed child and ruined my body.

I have long been deprived of my right to be a mother.

It's just that Pei Shuo kept the news tight, so not too many people knew.

"Concubine Zhuang is right, the prince will have a concubine in the future, and whether the concubine can get pregnant is insignificant."

Pei Heng sneered: "The concubine is the concubine, the concubine is the concubine, this king is talking about you now, since you can't give birth, then in a few days, I will go with this king to meet the newly canonized Concubine Song."

I couldn't force it, so I had to retreat silently.

Qingmo looked at me worriedly: "If the prince doesn't help, does the second lady really want to enter the palace as a concubine?"

I gritted my teeth: "Tomorrow we will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my father will definitely have a way."

Since I got married, I haven't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time.

I never imagined that I would see someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion that I thought I would never see again.

In the pavilion in the back garden, my father was playing against someone, and when the man saw me, he immediately raised a smile of unknown meaning.

"Rujun, you haven't returned to your husband for a year, and you actually married someone else, which really makes your husband sad."

I held Qing Mo's hand as if I had seen a ghost: "Is it Lord Shuo?"

Pei Shuo stood up and slowly approached me, his eyebrows and eyes were the same, except for an extra scar on his eyebrow bone.

It's this scar, as if it has separated the past and the present.
