In the imperial study room, the emperor was memorizing the prince's homework.
When Jin Xin arrived, the emperor was praising the prince. Jin Xin listened outside and felt happy in her heart.
She led the princess over, ready to go in to see the emperor.
The emperor had to see the princess every day, so in the afternoon, Jin Xin brought the princess over.
After the announcement, Jin Xin walked in. The emperor watched the princess come in and immediately waved her forward, "Yesterday, the story was not finished. Today, my father will tell you more. Do you want to listen?"
Huan'er hugged the emperor's neck and nodded, "Yes, the stories my father tells are very interesting."
The emperor laughed when he heard this and felt better.
"Your Majesty, I haven't taken the medicine yet," Jin Xin reminded.
The emperor hummed, picked up the medicine, but frowned. He didn't want to drink it, so he immediately put it aside and said, "Drink it every day. It's just a psychological effect. It doesn't matter whether you drink it or not."
He is now weak and has no strength in his hands. He drinks the medicine three times a day, which does not relieve him at all, and drinking it is meaningless.
Jin Xin had no choice but to pick up the medicine again and took out the candied fruit from the box, "Your Majesty, you are not a child anymore. Don't be willful. Good medicine tastes bitter. Everyone knows this, don't you know?"
"This medicine is useless, it's better not to drink it." The emperor said in disgust.
"Huan'er, tell Father to drink medicine." Jin Xin asked Huan'er to give the order.
Huan'er smiled, struggled to get off the emperor, and went to hold the bowl. His small hands could not hold it, and they were shaking. The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to step forward, pick up the bowl, and drink. Go down.
Finally, she picked up the candied fruit from Jin Xin's hand and threw it into her mouth, "Is that okay?"
"If the emperor were so happy every time, it wouldn't be like this."
"I just don't think it's necessary. You should also know about my body."
Jin Xin frowned and said to the servant beside her, "Take the prince and princess out."
The emperor smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and waited for the child to go out before sitting back on the stool, "You already knew that I don't have many years to live, right?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor will find a way to save you. You are so young and in your prime, why worry about not being able to wait for the antidote?"
"Would you be happy if I lived another twenty years?" The emperor looked into her eyes and asked sarcastically.
Jin Xin was startled when she heard this, a little panicked, and her hands under her sleeves tightened the handkerchief.
If the emperor continues as before, without doubting himself or being wary of himself, what if he lives another twenty years?
But when he said this, did he feel that he wanted to harm him?
"Does your Majesty mean that my concubine wants to murder you?"
The emperor smiled bitterly and sighed, "I just think that Hong'er is already the prince. If you want to become the queen mother earlier, it may not be impossible."
"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable suspicion. My concubine's husband is you. If you are here, I am the queen. If you are not here, I am the queen mother. Her position is unshakable. Why do I want you to die?"
"What if I let you be buried?" He said, looking up at her, seeming to ask this question very seriously.
Jin Xin didn't expect him to say that.
To be buried, he actually wanted to be buried.
"If the emperor wants me to stay with you forever, I have no complaints. Everything I have is given by the emperor. I am grateful. However, does the emperor want our children to grow up alone? Continue to follow your path. ?”
The emperor said nothing, just looked at Jin Xin and thought about these words.
Of course he would not let the queen be buried, he just wanted to see what she meant.
He went alone, so lonely underground. No one who truly loved him truly loved him when he thought about it.
He couldn't even see the queen clearly.
She was a lot colder to him. Although she was still doing those submissive things, it was just her heart that he couldn't seem to grasp.
He didn't know when it started. He only knew that he wanted to capture her heart and return to him again.
Thinking like this, he actually smiled bitterly, not knowing why.
But he grew up alone, so how could he let his children be like this?
He motioned for her to come forward, then pulled her to sit next to him, "Jin Xin, what can I do to warm your heart again?"
How to do it?
No matter what the emperor does, he can't bring himself back to the beginning.
When she was first in the palace, she didn't ask much from the emperor. She just wanted to protect herself from harm, have enough food and clothing, and think about herself.
But it had been so long that she couldn't remember that feeling.
She only felt that the emperor was not worthy of her trust, but in order to live, she still tried to please the emperor. She only knew that she wanted to go further and climb higher, and no one could shake her.
Now the emperor asked himself to be sincere, does she still have sincerity?
She can't love anyone else except her children.
Subconsciously, she still looked at the Emperor with a smile, "Isn't my concubine's heart with the Emperor?"
The emperor looked into her eyes, but there was no such enthusiasm. Such a response made him unhappy.
Whatever, at least she was willing to smile to herself, and that was enough.
"Jin Xin, if I can't move anymore, promise me, you can help me make a decision." The emperor looked at her seriously and said.
Jin Xin was stunned, "What does the emperor mean by this?"
"You also know that the poison in me will erode my muscles and veins, leaving me waiting for death without dignity. I don't want to see that day, do you know that?" He looked at her with some pleading in his eyes.
He can still move now, but when that day comes, he is afraid that he will not be able to make the decision.
Lying there, being served and discussed privately, he was a majestic emperor, a wise emperor throughout his life, but he had no dignity and lay there waiting to die. The life he had worked hard for was ruined.
Jin Xin did not accept it and was a little angry, "Is the emperor going to let his concubines kill the king and make the world despise him?"
It's better that he solves the problem by himself now.
The emperor grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"You can do it secretly and treat me as if I died suddenly. How you write history depends on how you publicize it to the world. Can't you agree to my request after so many years of love?"
Jin Xin was stunned, listening to him discuss how he died, her heart was trembling, and it was even more complicated.
Even if she resented him, she never thought of ending his life.
"Jin Xin, I have no one to trust. I only trust you. If the day comes, don't be soft-hearted and let me leave with dignity." The emperor begged again.
When he looked at her again, tears were streaming down his face.
She nodded, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
"While I can still move, let's go out of the palace again. I'll leave this place to the prince and ask your brother and Zuo Xiang to help. Let's go see the outside world."
Three years is enough time to travel around the mountains and rivers.
Jin Xin nodded, "Okay, as the emperor said, I will accompany you for a walk."
The emperor smiled when he heard this, "Why don't we go to Shuangniu Village in Zhecheng as our first stop?"
The emperor actually misses the days in Shuangniu Village. Those were the days of ordinary couples, breaking away from the life of extravagance and extravagance and returning to the essence of life.
He wanted Jin Xin to love him again.
