Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The night was deep, and the moonlight poured like water on the walls of the palace, soft and silent.

After Chu Ze finished his business in the imperial study, he slowly walked to the Fengqi Palace in the harem.

Compared with the turbulent situation outside, this place seems particularly peaceful and harmonious.

Inside the Fengqi Palace, the palace lanterns emit a gentle glow.

A bright figure was leaning against the window, looking at the moonlight outside.

She was wearing a light purple gauze dress, with her long hair hanging down, and her temperament was quiet and elegant.

This is Chu Ze’s favorite concubine - Concubine Wan.

When Concubine Wan heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, she turned around immediately and saw Chu Ze walking into the hall. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

"I heard that the situation in the capital has been tense these days. You are busy with government affairs every day and have hardly had a rest."

"I am really worried that you will not be able to bear it."

She walked quickly to Chu Ze's side and spoke softly, her tone full of tenderness and concern.

Chu Ze looked at the gentle beauty in front of him, and the faint fatigue in his heart seemed to be softened a little.

He gently took Concubine Wan's hand and smiled: "These days are indeed busy."

"There are so many things going on in the capital, and a little carelessness can lead to disaster."

"I must always be vigilant."

Concubine Wan gently stroked the back of Chu Ze's hand, her eyes full of heartache.

"Your Majesty has worked so hard, I feel sorry for you."

"No matter how many things the court has to deal with, please take good care of yourself."

"Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Chu Ze looked at the deep affection in Concubine Wan's eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

"You are always so considerate. I am content as long as I have you in my heart."

"Over the years, I have been busy with state affairs and have not paid enough attention to you concubines in the harem."

"Instead, you will worry about me every day."

Concubine Wan shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, in control of the country, and has a lot of government affairs to deal with. How can he care about these trivial matters in the harem?"

"Being able to serve Your Majesty, I am already content."

"As long as Your Majesty is safe, I will be satisfied."

Her words were as gentle as water, causing Chu Ze to feel a long-lost warmth in his heart.

Over the years, he has held a high position and seemed to be second to none, but in fact he was very lonely.

Most of the concubines in the harem were just vying for favor, but Concubine Wan was always so considerate and had no scheming at all.

This sincerity made Chu Ze cherish her even more.

He gently took Concubine Wan into his arms and whispered, "You have been by my side all these years."

"I have always been clear."

"I will always remember your kindness to me."

Concubine Wan leaned in Chu Ze's arms, feeling the familiar and warm breath from him, and warmth surged in her heart.

"Your Majesty can remember me, I am satisfied."

"It's just... you've been too busy these days. I often hear you staying up all night in the imperial study to handle affairs."

"I would like to ask you to rest here for a while tonight, is that possible?"

She looked up at Chu Ze, with pleading and tenderness in her eyes.

Chu Ze smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."

"Tonight, I will stay in Fengqi Palace."

After hearing this, Concubine Wan's eyes flashed with joy. She quickly took off Chu Ze's coat and led him to sit on the couch.

"Your Majesty, I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some soothing soup for you."

"You are busy with government affairs every day, and these soups can help you relieve your fatigue."

She spoke gently, personally picked up the soup bowl and brought it to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze took the soup bowl and took a sip. He immediately felt a warm current flowing from his throat into his stomach, and the feeling of fatigue was relieved a little.

Looking at the considerate Concubine Wan in front of him, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Concubine Wan, I always feel that you can always bring me a little comfort when I am most tired."

"Why would a woman like you be willing to stay in this deep palace?"

"Are you really never tired of the intrigues and hypocrisy in this harem?"

Concubine Wan smiled softly and shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am not staying here for the sake of wealth and glory."

"It's not to compete for favor with other concubines."

"The reason why I am willing to stay here is because I have Your Majesty in my heart." "As long as I can accompany Your Majesty, I will be satisfied."

"As for the fighting in the harem, I have never cared about it."

"In my eyes, there is only Your Majesty."

Her words were gentle yet firm, causing Chu Ze's heart to tremble.

He reached out and gently stroked Concubine Wan's cheek, his eyes full of affection.

"Concubine Wan, I have never regretted keeping you by my side."

"I also hope that the days with you by my side can last forever."

"No matter how turbulent the outside world is, as long as you are with me, I can feel a little peace."

Concubine Wan snuggled gently in Chu Ze's arms, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"As long as I am here, I will help your majesty to get rid of all the worries."

"May your majesty always rest in peace."

The two of them sat opposite each other, full of tenderness and affection, as if all the disturbances in the outside world were isolated outside the hall at this moment.

Concubine Wan asked softly, "Your Majesty, can you stay here tonight?"

Chu Ze nodded gently: "Okay, I will stay here tonight."

"Chat with me and tell me what's on your mind."

Concubine Wan chuckled and whispered, "Then I will chat with Your Majesty."

"Speaking of which, after all these years, does Your Majesty remember the first time you met me?"

Hearing this, Chu Ze seemed to be pulled back to the past.

He smiled slightly: "Of course I remember."

"You were just an ordinary maid in the palace at that time, but when everyone was in panic, you served me the simplest tea."

"Although the tea is not expensive, it has a sweet taste."

"I was deeply impressed by you at that time."

When Concubine Wan heard this, a trace of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "I was just a newcomer to the palace at that time, and I didn't know how high the sky was or how deep the earth was."

"I dared to offend Your Majesty. Now that I think about it, I am really bold."

Chu Ze chuckled and shook his head: "It is because of your boldness that I remember you."

"You are different from those women who only know how to flatter and curry favor."

"You are the only one who is sincere and true to me."

After hearing this, Concubine Wan felt warm in her heart.

"Your Majesty remembers me, and I am satisfied."

"I have no other request than to be able to accompany Your Majesty."

She leaned lightly on Chu Ze's shoulder, her eyes gentle yet firm.

"As long as I can help Your Majesty solve his problems, I will do it even if I have to sacrifice everything."

Chu Ze looked at the gentle beauty in his arms, and the heavy feeling of fatigue in his heart quietly dissipated.

He gently embraced Concubine Wan, with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

"With you here, I can feel a moment of peace."

"No matter how turbulent the outside world is, I will always remember your kindness to me."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

The two of them leaned against each other, looking at each other tenderly.

At this moment, all the worries in Chu Ze's heart seemed to be soothed, and only the tenderness of the beauty in his arms filled his entire soul.

That night, the lights in Fengqi Palace gently illuminated the figures of the two.

The turmoil and chaos of the outside world, all the power struggles, seemed to be isolated outside the palace wall.

In Chu Ze's world, there is only this gentle tranquility.

He gently stroked Concubine Wan's long hair and whispered, "No matter what happens in the future, you must take good care of yourself."

"Of all things in this world, you are the most important."

Concubine Wan nodded slightly, leaned in his arms, and showed a happy and satisfied smile.

"Your Majesty, I will always be with you, forever."

The two figures gradually merged into one in the light.

At this moment, all the conspiracies and intrigues, all the power struggles, seem so far away.

Only this pure emotion remains, warming each other's hearts. (End of this chapter)
