C595 I don't want your afterlife

To them, it was already a blessing that they were only fighting at the peak of their thirties.

Yun Jiao Rong had already recovered from the shock and understood what was happening. Before the palace maids could be pulled out, he hurriedly called out to them, "Wait a moment."

Yun Jiao Rong turned his head to look at Yan Shuo and said, "I was the one who stopped them from serving in the room.

"Not letting them wait on you doesn't mean that they can be slow. A group of people staying outside for an hour without anyone coming in, is this what a servant should do?"

Thinking about it, Yan Shuo couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If he didn't come, or if he came later, would Rong Er …

The more he thought about it, the more uncontrollable the anger in Yan Shuo's heart became. He even felt that the thirty boards were light enough.

"Drag him down, then throw him into a secret chamber after thirty minutes."

The Concealed Court was a place where the sinned maids had to work hard. If there wasn't a special contribution, they wouldn't be able to come out for the rest of their lives.

Yun Jiao Rong did not expect such a result, and wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Yan Shuo, "Does Rong Er still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No more."

Yun Jiao Rong looked at the handsome face in front of him, his heart softening, but when he thought of the oath he had made, his entire body turned cold, and his heart became bitter.

"Your Majesty, those palace maids …"

Yun Jiao Rong had only just opened her mouth when her broad palm blocked her lips. Her handsome face was filled with dissatisfaction and anger that she had tried her best to restrain, "Rong Er is not allowed to plead for them again. If you beg once, we will continue to punish you harshly."

Yun Jiao Rong saw the anger in his eyes.

The Yan Shuo she knew was not a person who was easily angered, and never put on airs in front of people he cared about. Therefore, even though he was from the Kaiser, his two uncles basically did not have any sense of responsibility in front of him.

Yun Jiao Rong really liked Yan Shuo's amiable nature, but this did not mean that the prestige he should have as an emperor disappeared.

While the dignity of an overlord should not be used on his own family, he would absolutely not show mercy to others when the time came for him to be ruthless.

Thinking about those palace maids that were innocently affected because of him, Yun Jiao Rong felt a little guilty, but looking at Yan Shuo's demeanor, he opened his mouth and did not say anything, as if he was afraid that Yan Shuo would kill those palace maids in a fit of rage.

Seeing that Yun Jiao Rong had turned silent, Yan Shuo's face also eased up. Just now, he was able to endure and not ask for the heads of those palace maids.

He reached out his hand and lightly touched the hair at the side of her temples, and said: "Rong Er, don't blame me for being ruthless. The moment I saw you in the water, I really …"

Yan Shuo was unable to continue. When Yun Jiao Rong saw his eyes, she instantly flushed red and her heart tightened. It was as if her heart had been heavily beaten.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said to Yan Shuo: "Your Majesty, I don't blame you. Truly, I don't blame you."

She had already figured out what had happened previously from Yan Shuo's conversation with the imperial physician. She looked at Kaiser and explained, "The main thing is that I wasn't careful enough and had already forgotten to soak in the water for too long. I won't do it again, rest assured."

She saw the faint glimmer of tears in Yan Shuo's eyes, and her heart was moved. She could not help but reach out and grab the big hand he placed by her side.

This was the first time Yun Jiao Rong took the initiative to shake his hand, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit still any longer.

Her hand was wrapped around his palm and it was soft. Just holding it like this made his heart race uncontrollably.

"Rong Er, you …"

"Your Majesty, Rong Er is indebted to you for your great love, and has never been able to repay you.

"I don't want your next life."

Yan Shuo coldly cut Yun Jiao Rong off, "We only want your life right now, and even we might not be able to obtain you in this life. How would we dare to hope for the next one."

"Your Majesty …"

Yun Jiao Rong's nose turned sour, and tears welled up in his eyes.

She started to resent his father for preventing her from being together with Kaiser. Even if she had to fight countless of women, she would accept it as long as she could be together with him.

She had to bitterly endure her own feelings, painfully forcing herself to ignore everything Kaiser had done for her. However, she didn't know how much longer she could be forced to do so.

"Rong Er, tell us, is it because we didn't do enough and made you unsatisfied? Tell us, we will definitely change it until you are satisfied, okay?"

Yun Jiao Rong did not speak, she only shook her head, and her tears started falling.

He had done too well. It was because he was too good to her that she felt more and more pain, more and more guilt, and more and more unable to face him.

"Your majesty, please don't bother with Rong Er anymore in the future, okay? Listen to the empress dowager and immediately choose your wife and forget about Rong Er, okay? "

She looked at Yan Shuo pleadingly, her heart aching with pain.

Yan Shuo had already heard these words more than a hundred times. If he could forget about her, if he could steeled his heart to ignore her, he would not have waited until today where he did not even have a single concubine by his side.

If he really could let go of her, he would not go against his mother and make her sad.

The Queen Mother didn't like her, but she was willing to compromise step by step for his sake. As long as she was willing to marry him, she wouldn't interfere in his affairs.

But when the Queen Mother let go, she still stubbornly refused to accept him.

Yan Shuo felt that perhaps he had always been too stubborn. He loved her wholeheartedly, and thought that giving his love as an emperor to her was the best that he had ever given her. However, he had never thought about it.

After all, she had never liked him, had never given him any news of her liking for him, but he had always kept her tied to him, hadn't he?

He suddenly looked at Yun Jiao Rong with a dejected face, sighed, and said: "We have always been giving you pressure, don't we?"

Yun Jiao Rong looked up at him in shock, then silently lowered her head. She did not speak for a long while.

Her silence was, to Yan Shuo, a form of tacit agreement. He stared at her, looked at her for a while, then quietly let go of Yun Jiao Rong's hand.

Just then, the palace maid finished brewing the medicine and brought it in. Thinking back to the furious scene at Kaiser, she was still trembling with fear.

"Your majesty, the young miss' medicine is ready."

"Bring it here."

The palace maid walked up and Yan Shuo had already stood up from beside the bed. He said to Yun Jiao Rong: "Drink some medicine and rest well. We will leave first."
