His beloved son could not escape his life, so he went with Meng Fei.

The loss of his son's love is difficult to suppress, grief is everywhere in the imperial palace.

Two days into May, a heavy news hit Xuan Ye and Cheng Rui died. In the end, his eldest son wasn't as lucky as Xuan Ye. After surviving such a terrible disease, Rong'er was in bed, feeling extremely grieved. Xuan Ye had sent people to watch over Rong'er day and night. The empress dowager had first lost her distant niece, Aluna, and then her beloved great-grandson. She was sad, but also bedridden. The imperial harem was filled with grief. The happiness that the two princes had just experienced was completely overshadowed by their sorrowful emotions.

Xuan Ye complied with the Empress Dowager's request, bestowing the title of Hui Fei upon her. The pitiful Hui Fei had just entered the palace and passed away before even being conferred the title. He buried the ashes with her, hoping that Hui Fei would take care of the little prince who had gone with him, and implored the shaman to pray day and night.

This was the second time in a long time that Xuan Ye had felt especially sorrowful ever since his mother, Mercy, and the empress dowager had passed away. This was the pain of being unable to protect one's loved ones.

In the dream, he seemed to see his father, and the appearance of his father was still the same as in his memories. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly saw his father standing beside a bed. Lying on the bed was a beautiful woman whose face was about to turn pale. It was none other than Imperial Concubine E.

The royal father held onto the woman's hands tightly, softly calling out, "My beloved concubine, don't abandon us." The beautiful woman revealed a pale smile and said, "Your majesty, chenqie can see our Bao`er now. Don't feel sorry for chenqie. You have to take care of yourself. Chenqie can no longer take care of your majesty."

"No …" Love Consort... "Don't leave me behind." Father's tears kept pouring out and he was in bed. The beautiful woman atop it only faintly smiled.

All of a sudden, the scene in front of Xuan Ye's eyes changed. There was a grand funeral procession, and then a eunuch read out the emperor's imperial edict. The scene changed again. Xuan Ye saw that his father was weeping in front of the empress's memorial tablet, murmuring, "My beloved concubine, don't leave me behind. How can I live in this world without you!? The scene changed again, and he saw Rong'er, lying on the bed. Above, her face was pale and his eyes lifeless. She was crying in a low voice. He hurried forward in alarm.

"No …" Xuan Ye suddenly woke up. "No …" Rong'er is not a filial queen... I am not my royal father either. " Xuan Ye was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want anything to happen to you." The stories the empress dowager had told him about the emperor's grandfather and Hai Lan Zhu, the emperor's mother and Dong Er's family, would all come to his mind on a daily basis. However, in his dream today, the fear of losing Rong'er had grown even stronger, "Zhang DeShun." Xuan Ye suddenly called out.

When Eunuch Zhang, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the emperor's call, he immediately came in. Go to Rong Chang. " With that, Xuan Ye walked out of the hall.

Within Gai Rong'er's room in the Kunning Palace.

After the loss of Cheng Rui, Gai Rong'er was heartbroken. All day long, he had been bathed in tears. The Queen had been taking care of Rui'er ever since she was a child, and her heart was filled with grief. Rong-er would come to spend time with Rong-er and comfort him with warm words, but Rong-er's heart was still unable to adjust. He could not stop himself from crying as soon as he thought of Cheng Rui. stream.

When Xuan Ye entered the room, he saw Rong'er lying on the bed with her face facing the sky. He could not help but frown and asked Xiao Qing, Qiu E, and Qiao Yun, "Can your master eat today?"

Xiaoqing quickly replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, Master is still the same as two days ago, unwilling to eat. This servant even fed Master some congee, but Master didn't refuse."

Xuan Ye frowned even more. "Is this how you serve your master?" If she doesn't eat now, how will her condition improve? " Xuan Ye was already in a bad mood, so when he heard that Rong'er had not eaten yet, he became even angrier. "Men, drag these three palace maids out and beat them twenty times."

"Your Majesty …" When Rong'er heard that the emperor was going to beat up her personal palace maid, he finally turned around and said, "I beg you, your majesty, don't hit them. It's Rong'er who can't eat them, so don't blame them."

Seeing that Rong'er had opened his mouth to speak, Xuan Ye hurriedly walked to the bedside and asked, "Rong'er, are you awake?"

"Your majesty, please spare them."

Xuan Ye waved to the eunuchs who had just entered the room to carry out the order. "You may leave." He then said to Xiao Qing and the others, "For the sake of your master, I will let you off this time. In the future, please serve me well. "All of you can go now. Listen outside the door." Little Qing and the other two thanked him, then left the room.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for them? You clearly know that it isn't their fault." Jia Rong'er said with a hoarse voice.

"Rong'er, I'm worried about you, you know." Xuan Ye sat down on the bed and gently held Gai Rong'er's hand as he said softly, "Rong'er, Rui'er is gone. My sorrow is not inferior to yours, but Rui'er is already gone. Are you going to abandon me and Rui'er?"

"Your Majesty …" "When chenqie thinks of Rui'er, who is suffering, she feels sad. It's because chenqie didn't become a good concubine." As he spoke, tears came again.

Xuan Ye lightly wiped Rong'er's tears and said, "Rong'er, you know very well that this isn't your fault, and my royal grandmother is already sick with guilt. If you had another accident, what would you have your royal grandmother think? The ancestor was looking after Rui'er, but Rui'er unfortunately caught a bad disease, and now you think this way, won't you make my royal grandmother blame herself even more?"

"Your Majesty …" "Chenqie didn't mean that." Gaylen hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"I know that you are not a weird grandma, but you have to be strong in order to make her feel at ease." Xuan Ye pressed Rong'er's hand to his cheek and continued, "Rui'er is dead. Rong'er is sad. The empress dowager and I, as well as the empress who have always taken care of Rui'er, are all very sad. But if we're still alive, we still have to stay strong and live."

"Your Majesty …" Hearing the emperor's words, Rong'er felt that he was right. He said in a low voice, "Rong'er is too stubborn. Rong'er will hide his sorrow deep in his heart and not let the emperor, empress dowager, empress dowager or empress worry."

"This is my good son." Xuan Ye held Gai Rong'er in his arms. forward. His heart … Li Jun softly said, "Rong'er, believe in me. We will have another Rui'er. From tomorrow onwards, other than you, we will not summon anyone else. I believe that the children of Rong'er and I will be back soon."

After that, Xuan Ye ordered the imperial kitchens to prepare all the food Rong'er could eat and immediately brought it over. Then, he accompanied Rong'er in taking care of him until very late at night.

Before leaving, Xuan Ye lightly caressed Rong'er's cheek and said, "Rong'er, promise me that you will be strong and live well. Promise me that you won't forget what you've said and that you will accompany me until the end of time."

Rong'er nodded, his face turning slightly red as he said in a low voice, "Rong'er has made the emperor worry. Rong'er has promised the emperor that he will never let the emperor worry about him again, and Rong'er will live a strong life, burying the shame and shame in his heart. Rong'er will accompany the emperor until the end of his life."

In the depths of Xuan Ye's heart, he could finally feel a bit of warmth. He hoped that the heavens pitied him and Rong'er, and bestowed another child upon them.
