Péi Qǐ didn't know how to describe the feeling at that moment; his mind went blank.

　　He had lost children before, but they were Cuī Fúlíng's children.

　　He already knew that when the child was born, Cuī Fúlíng's eyes would only be filled with love for the child.

　　How happy would she be then? But the child was gone, not even two months old, disappearing in the cold winter, leaving only a pool of blood.

　　He wanted to kill someone.

　　When he saw Cuī Fúlíng's pale face sleeping, he wanted to kill someone.

　　The concubines, the consorts, he wanted all these people dead.

　　But his immediate concern was to take care of Cuī Fúlíng.

　　He was afraid that once she woke up and found out, she would be driven to thoughts of suicide.

　　How ridiculous.

　　He actually had this thought.

　　He had thought of all the arguments, but he never expected Cuī Fúlíng to be completely indifferent, not even sad.

　　Instead, she comforted him, saying that everything had already passed, and she even handed him the token of their love that he had given her when he was deeply in love with the concubine.

　　Anger washed over his rationality as he shouted at her.

　　He even wished that she could get angry, that she could cry.

　　But she didn't, not at all.

　　She just stared at him blankly, as if she was looking at someone gone mad.

　　He was truly despicable, for after venting his anger, he couldn't help but return to her.

　　It was only then that he realized Cuī Fúlíng loved him.

　　He saw her curled up, crying and pouring out her heart to him.

　　He felt his heart melting.

　　He vowed to make decisions for her.

　　Little did he know that an unexpected event would occur so quickly.

　　The borders were breached, and Qiān Yuèguó suddenly rose to power.

　　The concubine's identity became sensitive, as the empress dowager had said, he could no longer indulge as he did in the past.

　　Therefore, he could only confine the Guifei for two years, then assess the situation and restore what an emperor should do, treat everyone equally.

　　No one knew better than him how happy he was when the empress gave birth to their eldest son.

　　Because of this, he no longer had to touch other women.

　　He wanted to be with Cui Fuling, even if they just sat together in silence.
