AWB Chapter 145 Surprise
Chapter 145 Surprise
These words hurt Ruyi's heart. She had locked herself up for too long just to avoid the responsibility of being the damn queen.
She was too tired. From the time she became queen until now, countless people had used her duties as queen to kidnap her. Now, because of this duty, she was even deprived of the right to grieve for her beloved daughter.
Unexpectedly, even Ling Yunche, whom she had always regarded as a close friend, said this. Ruyi's eyes gradually turned red.
"Everyone wants me to be a good queen, but I just want to be like an ordinary woman and stay with my husband and children. Ling Yunche, are you going to force me to do that?"
She couldn't believe it. She thought Ling Yunche would understand her, but she didn't expect that Ling Yunche would use his duties as queen to pressure her.
The Empress Dowager was like this, the Emperor was like this, everyone in the palace was like this, and unexpectedly, even Ling Yunche, whom she regarded as a confidant, was like this.
Ruyi felt like she was going crazy. She was trapped in this small world and couldn't even control her own emotions.
"Jingsi is so young. I originally thought that even though she suffered from a heart disease, she only needed to be properly cared for. I never imagined that a child's life was so fragile. Now, can't I even grieve for her for a moment? You always talk about the queen, but you can't see how painful it is for me to sit in this position..."
"Your Majesty, I know that your journey has not been easy, but now that you have come this far, you should work even harder to keep everything. Behind you are the Emperor, the Twelfth Prince, me, Rong Pei,惢心, Empress Yu, and millions of people are watching..." Seeing that these words made the dull Ruyi react, Ling Yunche couldn't help but speak even more cruelly.
He knew that saying this would be very painful for Ruyi, but he had to do it. He saw that the emperor was gradually losing patience with the Yikun Palace. If this continued, everyone in the palace would discuss the estrangement between the emperor and the empress.
He wanted to help her, help her get over it completely.
"Since you have become the Empress, you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty. You are immersed in grief like this and cannot set an example for the concubines in the harem. How can you convince others in the future? What the Emperor needs more is a virtuous Empress. Your Majesty, you can't go on like this. In my eyes, you are always the best Empress in the world. I believe that sooner or later, you will figure it out and cheer up again. It's getting late, and I have to go back to work. I hope Your Majesty will take care of yourself. No matter what, I will stand by your side..."
After Ling Yunche finished speaking, he stood up and left reluctantly.
The moment he stepped out of the inner hall, the sound of Ruyi sobbing could be heard from inside the hall, and Rong Pei hurried in to persuade her.
Ling Yunche stopped abruptly as he was about to leave. He clenched his fists tightly at his sides, his nails digging deep into his flesh, causing a stinging pain in his palms.
This kind of pain made him feel better.
Since I can't empathize with you, I'll just share the pain with the Queen.
I hope that after she has a good cry today, she will be completely better and still be the charming queen she used to be.
He couldn't bear to leave like this, so he stood in the courtyard for a long time, and only left after the sobbing sounds inside gradually died down.
On the way back to the Yangxin Palace, Ling Yunche was always absent-minded, thinking about Ruyi's current difficulties.
Ever since Mao Qian was married to Ling Yunche by the emperor, she has devoted all her attention to this small family and wanted to live a life with him wholeheartedly.
Ever since she knew that Ling Yunche's heart was in the Queen, Mao Qian had been harboring a grudge.
Fortunately, this person is the queen. Ling Yunche comes from a humble background, and being able to become a royal guard is already his best fate.
So what if you have such dirty thoughts? It's all in vain. How can a human reach the moon? At most, it's just wishful thinking.
To put it bluntly, who is the queen? Is he worthy of her?
This marriage was granted by the Emperor, so she could not complain. She simply turned a blind eye and let her life go on like this.
Originally, it was fine. Ling Yunche was only on duty in the palace and could not accompany her often. She was in charge of the family's money and could buy whatever she wanted and eat whatever she wanted. Her husband was as good as dead and would not come home. She lived a more carefree life than ordinary women.
But recently Mao Qian found that Ling Yunche was becoming more and more confused and even started talking in his sleep.
"Ruyi... Ruyi... don't be sad... your humble servant... your humble servant..."
It would be fine if he just talked in his sleep, but he even dared to call out the Empress' maiden name.
Mao Qian was awakened by him. After hearing these words, she broke out in a cold sweat and felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
This is a serious crime. Although I don’t know whether the Queen Mother has any thoughts about him, if he does anything out of line in the palace, that would be a real disaster!
It’s okay for others, but I’m his wife, and if anything happens, I’ll be the first one to be implicated.
Mao Qian didn't care about anything else and wrote down everything he said in his dreams at night, for fear that something would happen one day so that she could distance herself from it and keep herself out of trouble.
I thought the emperor's marriage was a happy event, and since I was an orphan, I got married without thinking. I didn't expect that I would be badly cheated in the end.
She would have accepted marrying a mediocre man, but she never expected to fall into such a pit of fire...
Go ahead and kill yourself, but don't drag me down!
Mao Qian was filled with hatred and anger. In the end, she could only hate herself for being a woman who couldn't even decide her own marriage in this world.
If you were a man, you wouldn't have so many difficulties.
Perhaps Ling Yunche's persuasion that day was effective, and Ruyi really began to cheer up.
Those words reminded Ruyi and completely woke her up from the pain of losing her child.
Unlike her initial decadent appearance, Ruyi gradually regained her clarity of mind, began to focus on her pregnancy, and even began to care about palace affairs.
Rong Pei was naturally very happy that his own queen had finally recovered, and she even went to thank Li Yu and Ling Yunche.
I thought things would get better in the days to come, but fate played a trick on me and Ruyi gave birth prematurely when she was seven months pregnant.
