After knowing the truth, he was destined to be indifferent in this life.

His children were accompanied by his body, and he was sick to death.

Xuan Ye did not conceal anything from Rong'er. That night, Xuan Ye told him about the empress's death and Rong'er was shocked that someone as strong as Empress Xiao Zhao would walk this path. However, after thinking about it carefully, he wasn't surprised. Rong'er's heart ached. She understood that she couldn't take the emperor's sole favor. In this imperial harem, the emperor's sole favor would hurt many people, and it might even harm her. They had a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding that didn't need to be explained …

"Rong'er, I've long since discovered that the emperor isn't someone who can do whatever he wants. He says that the world is my sovereign, but how many people are affecting me, making me unable to not consider others. Therefore, even I, the emperor, am filled with helplessness …"

Rong'er had always remembered that in her private heart, she didn't need this wealth, nor did she want the position of a woman. What she wanted was Xuan Ye, he was just a person, she would rather they were just ordinary people, but unfortunately, this would never happen, so she had no complaints, and was powerless to change her mind, so she could only accept it in silence. Ronger promised His Majesty that he would always keep this secret in his heart, forever, forever, forever …

"Master!" Xiu-Er went into the pavilion and reported in a low voice, "Your concubine and Ling Chang are here."

"Let them in." Rong'er nodded in agreement.

Ling Jiao'er and Jingzhi walked in. "Please have a good day." Ling Jiao'er said respectfully.

"How many times have I said this? Don't be so formal." After Ling Fu-er agreed, Rong'er felt that she was really different from before. She felt that this palace was truly a place to hone her temperament, that the harsh and haughty lady of the past, who had been a servant for more than ten years, had now become amiable and humble, that she had entered the palace together with everyone, that Ling Xian-er was now willing to show her goodwill to everyone, that she lived in Changchun Palace with Jingzhi, so naturally they were close to each other.

"Rong'er, we came to call for you. We are going to visit Zhuan An together." "Yesterday, I heard from my concubine that Zhuan An's recent health was not very good, so I told her to go and take a look."

"Alright, it's been a long time since I've seen you, either." Rong'er hurriedly got up. In the past few years, this kid, Su-An, was rarely noticed. Only she and Jing-er often went to see him, and in the end, Ruo Lan was still unable to completely forget about him and visited him less.

As Rong'er walked to the door, she suddenly thought, "Xiao Qing, grab some of the Codonopsis and Gouyu that the Emperor rewarded a few days ago and feed them to Zhuo An to replenish the vital energy and blood."

In the palace, in the chamber where his concubine was guarding him, a look of worry was written on Rong'er's face. He felt that this was really quite cruel to her, that his body was in a bad condition, and that she spent most of her time on him.

"Pruen, the ladies have come to see you." Rong'er laughed and yelled at the four-year-old Ruan.

The four-year-old's face revealed a hint of cowardice as he called out in a low voice, "Greetings grandma." Rong'er's heart ached as he watched. This child had received too little love, and his body was thin and weak. His face was pale, a far cry from the healthy and healthy character of his son.

"Are you feeling ill again?" Ruan stared at Rong with round eyes. They didn't answer.

"Peng An, your mother is asking you a question." The concubine whispered to him.

Zhuan An's face still had a little shyness, and he gently nodded.

The concubine lightly patted Zhuan An's small shoulder, and with a gentle expression, she said, "This child has truly suffered greatly. He was born with not even a single day of good days. While he was sick every day, I truly cherished her."

Rong'er felt pain in her heart. She whispered to her concubine, "It's a shame that I followed you. I've been taking good care of you these past few years."

"I'm really tired. I often have nightmares when I fall asleep at night, and I'm really afraid that something might happen to Zhuan An. Having raised her for so many years, I really can't take it anymore … "This year, after spring, my heart palpitations started to develop frequently. I was really afraid …" Before the imperial concubine could finish her sentence, Zhi Zhi interrupted her. "Don't think so much. Nothing will happen …"

Compared to Zhuan An, she was much happier. She could be raised by her first wife, and at the same time, she also received the love of Zhizhi, Ruo Lan, and the others. Xuan Ye especially liked this daughter of hers.

In Yi Kun Palace, Rong'er was chatting with Su'er when Xiao Rong Huan ran over. "Madam, Xian`er just went to see you." Brother, did he call me sister? "

"Ah?" "Do you even know how to call me big sister?" Rong'er looked at him with a smile. At the tender age of a year, Zhi Jiu only knew how to speak a single word, but Rong's words were always around him. Every day, he would transfer people around to call her elder sister. "Granny, it's true. The Constitution isn't lying to you!"

Rong'er smiled, while his mother-in-law trusted him. "Is Zhi Yin awake?" "Go tell the mama to bring Zhi to her."

"Alright!" He quickly ran out of Rong'er's pavilion.

Xiaoqing walked in and whispered, "Mistress, the consultant has arrived. The door is requesting an audience."

"Eunuch Gu is here? "Quick, invite him in …" Most of the consultants came to pass the message on behalf of the emperor.

The consultant walked in and bowed, then reported, "Rongzi, yesterday, a few of Lord Sui Er died. The emperor said that he should let you know, so he let me tell you."

"Is Lord Zurgy still unable to hold on? "He raised Zhi Yin for a year …" Rong'er said with a depressed expression, "Rong'er is really grateful to him …"

"That's right, the Emperor will do him a favor, and there's nothing else to do. I'm just informing you that this servant will be taking his leave now." When he had just returned from the palace, he had been very shy. Even if Rong'er wanted to hug him, he would cry, but the child was still young after all, and they had grown very close within a month. Rong'er had taught him how to say simple words like "eldest mother" and "ma".

"Little Brother A'ge, you have to be grateful and concerned about the death of Sui Er, your benefactor. He's a good person who took good care of you …" Prince Yin, who was in Rong'er's arms, waved his small hands with a smile. He might not understand all of this, but Rong'er would teach him a lesson with utmost care.

"Yinzi, call me older sister, call me concubine!" Rongxian moved closer to Rong'er's side as he spoke.

It wasn't clear whether it was on purpose for Zhi Yin to go against her, or whether he'd just failed to learn the word 'big sister', but why didn't he say the word "big sister" instead. Rong'er smiled sweetly as she looked at the eager expression on his face.
