Chapter 319 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 46

The incident of Empress Cao had come to an end, and the emperor's treatment had not yet been completed, so the entire harem fell into silence. Qin Wanrong continued to stay in Ronghua Palace to take care of Zhao Qi. She seldom went out and never used Zhao Qi to ask for anything.

Liang Duzhi began to doubt Qin Wanrong in his heart, but he was really useless. No matter how much he doubted Qin Wanrong, he couldn't help but go to see her. There were several times during this period when Liang Duzhi wanted to ask the doubts in his heart, but when he saw Qin Wanrong's face that made him dream about it, he couldn't remember anything.

Days passed one by one, and soon it was Zhao Qi's fifth birthday. After this birthday, Zhao Qi could start his education. The emperor had worked hard for so many years, but his health still did not improve. He finally realized that Zhao Qi might be his only son in the future.

In order to prevent Zhao Qi and Qin Wanrong from developing too deep a relationship, which would otherwise hinder them from developing any influence over him, the emperor ordered Zhao Qi to move to Zhaoren Hall and live with him.

In order to compensate Qin Wanrong, the emperor issued an order to promote Qin Wanrong to the rank of Imperial Concubine and gave her the power of the palace. Although still the first rank, Imperial Concubine was only one step away from becoming the Queen.

The clerk and Nanny Xing felt very sorry about this. They wanted to blame the emperor, but they didn't dare to. They could only curse him secretly when no one was around.

Liang Duzhi did not contribute to this matter. The emperor asked for Liang Duzhi's opinion before issuing the decree, but Liang Duzhi chose to keep silent for his own selfish reasons.

Seeing that Qin Wanrong was unstoppable in the harem, Liang Duzhi was afraid that once Qin Wanrong became the queen, she would abandon him. In the past two years, Qin Wanrong no longer liked to ask him to do things. Although Qin Wanrong would still agree to meet him when he went to Ronghua Palace to ask for an audience, Liang Duzhi felt that he was no longer important in Qin Wanrong's heart.

In order to prevent himself from losing value in Qin Wanrong's eyes, Liang Duzhi decided to follow the emperor's wishes.

At night, Liang Duzhi went to Ronghua Palace to see Qin Wanrong again with a nervous heart. He didn't think that his actions could be hidden from Qin Wanrong, but after struggling for a long time, he still wanted to get an answer.

Qin Wanrong agreed to his request for a meeting as usual. Nanny Xing was still unaware of this matter. Only Wenshu stayed by Qin Wanrong's side as usual. But today was different. After Wenshu brought Liang Duzhi in, Qin Wanrong suddenly asked Wenshu to leave.

Qin Wanrong and Liang Duzhi were the only two people left in the inner room. The dim candlelight illuminated their faces. The yellow halo reflected in Qin Wanrong's eyes, making her look gentle and warm. When Liang Duzhi saw this, he suddenly had the courage to speak.

"Rong'er, you, you know everything, right?"

"Okay, I understand." Liang Duzhi asked cautiously, and Qin Wanrong answered very calmly.

"So, do you blame me?"

"Yeah, I don't blame you. Even if you proposed it, the emperor would not agree. He might even become suspicious." Qin Wanrong explained it very clearly, but her calm attitude made Liang Duzhi feel even more uncomfortable.

"Why don't you blame me! Have you already decided that I'm worthless? You, you answer me!"

Liang Duzhi's questioning made Qin Wanrong a little impatient. She knew why he became like this. It was nothing more than greed. He was happy for a long time when he could meet her before, and he had no regrets in his life when he could be close to her later. But now he was not satisfied. She had obviously done everything she promised him, but he suddenly felt that the response she gave was not enough?

Qin Wanrong was glad that she didn't use her reputation points to exchange for some kind of Shengzhi Pill for Liang Duzhi to take. She had thought about it at the beginning, after all, it was not bad to have a man to nourish her. But she gave up later, partly because Liang Duzhi was getting older and uglier, and partly because this man's love brain was too selfish and he liked to ask for things.

If she really asked him to become a normal man, not to mention whether he would change his mind, Qin Wanrong would not be able to bear his morbid possessiveness and the insecurity mixed with inferiority and arrogance.

Now he can no longer bear the thought of Qin Wanrong meeting the emperor. If that day really comes, Qin Wanrong suspects that Liang Duzhi might kill Zhao Qi and then find a way to make her give birth to his child, thus usurping the throne.

Although Qin Wanrong didn't care, after all, neither child was her own blood, but why should something that was obviously risk-free be made risky just to satisfy Liang Duzhi's selfish desires?

I'm not really here to have a romantic relationship. I'm just here to be the queen mother. Why should I gamble my life if I can get there smoothly?

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Qin Wanrong was not affected by Liang Duzhi and asked softly. He is still useful now, so let's stabilize him first.

Liang Duzhi burst into tears immediately. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. The fairy had clearly done what he had agreed to do, so why was he so unsatisfied?

"I, I want you to love me." She said it, and this time she finally expressed her true feelings.

Qin Wanrong stepped forward and stroked Liang Duzhi's head, as gentle and careless as ever. She did not answer, but suddenly asked a question that made Liang Duzhi tremble all over: "Even if I am a demon, do you still want me to love you?"

She was promoted to higher positions in recent years and had the only prince as her daughter. With the death of Concubine Zhao and the dethronement of Empress Cao, Qin Wanrong's reputation rose rapidly. Qin Wanrong had already filled the entire harem and even the previous dynasty with surveillance cameras.

Now it is not wrong to say that everything is under Qin Wanrong's control. What did Liang Duzhi say to Empress Cao at the last meeting? How could Qin Wanrong not know Liang Duzhi's entanglement and doubt?

She spoke today because she suddenly wanted to test whether love could really make people tolerate everything. As a spirit, Qin Wanrong had lived for many years since she was born, and it was not that she had never seen true love, but as a spirit that absorbed souls to help others realize their dreams, she had encountered people who were deceived, treacherous, selfish, narrow-minded, and all kinds of ugly desires in the name of love. Liang Duzhi was not the first one to notice that something was wrong with him, but he was the first one to notice that something was wrong and that his love was still strong.

"I......"

Liang Duzhi didn't expect that the answer he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask was easily spoken by Qin Wanrong. He was a little speechless for a moment, and his mood was very complicated, but he didn't feel scared.

"I want to. I always think that everyone in this world is ugly and dirty. Only you are different, but you are too hard to understand and too hard to get close to."

"I obviously hate the desires of the world, but I really hope that you can have what you want, so that I can use what you want to keep you here."

Qin Wanrong was really surprised now. She had always thought that Liang Duzhi fell in love with her because of the love poison, but later the reaction of the official who was also poisoned made Qin Wanrong realize that the effect of the love poison was not that great. Later, she thought that Liang Duzhi fell in love with her skin, but she didn't expect that he actually fell in love with her soul through the skin.
