Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

In fact, she had already noticed the abnormality of Concubine Xian.

Especially when Concubine Xian came back after encountering the disaster, she felt it was even more unusual.

She asked her several times if anything happened, and she said nothing was wrong.

She was worried, so she asked someone to find out about the relationship between her and Minister Lu.

But Concubine Xian is a person who has strict adherence to etiquette engraved in her bones, so she just suppresses this feeling silently in her heart.

She suddenly burst into tears and cried so sadly. Something must have happened.

She immediately sent someone to inquire again.

After asking around, I found out that it was Minister Lu who was planning to get married.

I and Chunfeng are both passing guests, and you take the autumn water to the galaxy.

I am lucky to know you, even though it is sad, it is still love.

The two seem to be in a tragedy, but in fact, there are solutions.

Xia Baozheng thought about it, coaxed Xiao Tiantian to sleep, then got up and went to Hanzhang Palace.

Hanzhang Palace.

The virtuous concubine went to bed early.

I pressed my face into the quilt, and my tears almost soaked the entire quilt.

Although she knew it was impossible, and although she knew that they would eventually get married and have children, she was still sad...

For the first time, I understood what it meant to be heartbroken.

She bit the quilt tightly, not daring to make any sound, letting her tears flow freely in the dark night...

"Sister Xianfei..."

A familiar voice sounded softly.

The virtuous concubine's heart tightened, and she quickly took the quilt to wipe her tears, then slowly sat up.

"Why is Sister Xia here?"

Although she tried hard to control herself, her voice was still choked.

Xia Baozheng sat in front of the couch, reached out and held her hand, and said softly: "I came to see you." "I'm fine, just, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Well, I know that my beloved is going to get married, and if the bride is not me, I will be heartbroken and cry like a river."

The virtuous concubine suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

Xia Baozheng said softly, "I know everything. I just want to ask you, if I ask you to give up the honor and dignity of being a virtuous concubine and live in anonymity with him as an ordinary couple, would you be willing?"

The virtuous concubine's pupils shrank and she looked at her in even greater shock.

After a while, he murmured, "Sister Xia, what are you talking about?"

Xia Baozheng looked at her steadily and said seriously, "Just tell me whether you are willing or not. I will figure out the rest."

The virtuous concubine was shocked by her unorthodox words. Her mind was in a tangle and she couldn't think at all.

He just stared at Xia Baozheng with his big red and swollen eyes.

Xia Baozheng held her hand tightly and whispered, "Sister has always been self-disciplined and polite, and has done a lot for the Jiang family, the emperor, and the world.

Sister doesn't need to bear too much burden and should try to live for herself.

A person’s life is very long if you say it is long, but also very short if you say it is short. But once you miss some people, that’s it for your whole life.

For the rest of your life, I just hope you can live for yourself, in peace and joy."

When Concubine Xian heard this, her tears burst out again and flowed down violently, unable to be stopped.

Xia Baozheng gently put her arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Don't rush to make a decision. Think it over slowly and tell me when you've made up your mind, okay?

The Emperor and I are your backers, no matter what decision you make, we will fully support you."

The virtuous concubine nodded vigorously and uttered a choked "hmm".

……

In the spring of March, the grass grows and orioles fly.

Because Concubine Xian caught a cold and delayed treatment for too long, medicine was ineffective and she died suddenly in Hanzhang Palace.

The emperor, grateful for her merits, posthumously conferred the title of Consort Xian on her and announced it to the world.

Meanwhile... (End of this chapter)
