He couldn't respond to her, or else she would have more disgusting words to poke his lungs!
Sure enough, when Li Qinghui heard Emperor Mingde's words, she felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing her heart, and the pain was so severe that her heart didn't want to beat anymore.
She knelt in front of Emperor Mingde with her body hunched, tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, how could you, how could you think of me so much?"
Emperor Mingde flicked his long sleeves, knocking the food and wine on the table to the ground, splashing the soup all over Li Qinghui, and at the same time stopping her tears.
He said sternly, "Li, I give you face, you have to accept it; if you refuse to accept it, do you know what will happen to you?" He strode to the door, and without turning his head, he spat out four words, "The crime of deceiving the emperor!"
He now actually felt that the system of collective punishment was abolished too early, otherwise the deterrent effect of "the crime of deceiving the emperor shall be punished by the nine generations of the clan" would be greater.
Emperor Mingde left Xiyou Palace. There was a bright moon above his head, and its light just covered the plaque.
On the plaque, the words "Xiyou Palace" were peaceful and tranquil. These were the words he had given to Li Qinghui specifically so that she would always remember Zhu Lingxiu.
But she doesn't deserve it.
But how should he deal with Li Qinghui now?
If she were to return to Zhu Lingxiu, regardless of whether she would have bad intentions, Zhu Lingxiu had experienced so many tragic things. If he knew the truth, he would probably be so disheartened that he would find it difficult to even hold on to the thought of living.
This was difficult for the now decisive Emperor Mingde. He murmured, "I made a mistake."
Eunuch Qi, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and said, "The emperor is not wrong, it's others who are wrong."
Emperor Mingde: “…” Your flattery is too blatant.
Eunuch Qi's words were not flattery, but sincere, "My emperor is kind and loyal! For more than ten years, he has only treated Concubine Li as the wife of an old friend and helped to protect her wholeheartedly. What's wrong with that? It's just that Concubine Li... Alas..."
He couldn't say that Concubine Li was ungrateful. After all, how could people control feelings? If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame his master for being too charming, attracting bees and butterflies to flock to her.
But he didn't say this because he knew an unspeakable secret of Emperor Mingde.
That is, his master likes the Second Lady Shi, and it is destined to be fruitless.
The Second Lady was neither a bee nor a butterfly, and she had two children and a living husband; it was impossible for her master to force her into the palace.
Alas! Seeing his master suffering from lovesickness, he was also very tormented.
At this moment, Emperor Mingde indeed had Tang Chujun's figure in his mind.
That woman who loved to watch the fun and act coquettishly with her daughter, had such a lively and bright smile that made people...can't help but think about her again and again.
For some reason, he felt that just thinking of her across the thousands of ravines and ravines, across the red walls and green tiles, made his heart so sweet.
He didn't want to keep her in the harem. He just wanted to live well, protect the northern wing, and let the person in his heart live in the prosperous world he created.
It was enough for him to watch her quietly and happily walk to the end of her life in peace.
Emperor Mingde was so moved by himself that the discomfort caused by the fly was temporarily suppressed.
That night, Shi Anxia reviewed the scenes before and after Emperor Mingde's poisoning over and over again, and finally, at dawn, he thought of an important person.
Concubine Li!
Shi Anxia was no longer sleepy. She suddenly got up from the bed and sat in the dark, hugging the quilt.
When Emperor Mingde died in the previous life, Concubine Li cried the most sadly and fainted several times. Later, she asked to be buried with him.
She was the only concubine who was buried alive with Emperor Mingde. When she was buried alive, she said softly: If we cannot sleep together in life, then we can be buried together in death.
