Chapter 22:
Pei Qi's figure paused, turned around, and looked at me guiltily: "Fuling, it's alright, it's alright.
We will still have children together, I will vent my anger for you..." I weakly said, "I know, it's not anyone's fault.
It's because I am weak and unfortunate." "Don't talk nonsense!" He walked forward, relieved to see that I wasn't in extreme pain, and his complexion improved.
"If you could feel better, forgive those people with a soft heart, I'll also follow your lead.
But don't talk nonsense." I nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright." The corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and suddenly he noticed something and asked, "What are you holding onto? The people below couldn't separate it no matter how hard they tried." It took me a moment to realize it, and I let go of my grip in front of him, then carefully looked at his face as it gradually turned pale.
It was a piece of brocade cloth embroidered with a lifelike pair of mandarin ducks.
I suddenly realized, "This is the brocade cloth that Noble Consort ordered me to fetch from the water.
It must be very important." His voice trembled, "Do you know what this is?" I shattered his last trace of hope and said, "I know.
Noble Consort said it is the token of affection between Your Majesty and her." I smiled and stuffed the brocade cloth into Pei Qi's hands, softly saying, "Your Majesty, it is returned to its rightful owner." Pei Qi, oh Pei Qi, it's just as you thought, because of the token of affection you gave to Xu Jiao Jiao, you caused the loss of one of your children.
He suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with fury and hatred: "Cui Fuling!" "You know! Why do you still have that expression! Why aren't you angry? Why can you still smile! Or is it that you simply don't care? You don't care about the child, you don't care about me! What do you actually care about?! It was the same before, and it is still the same now! Obviously, even if I am together with other concubines, even the Empress would become resentful.
But only you, you smugly congratulate me for having a beautiful woman!" He stared at me with almost resentment, "In your eyes, is there no place for me?" Tsk, you really understand people well.
