Chapter 2263: Love transcending a thousand years (Part 7)
She personally gave him a pink sachet containing her favourite peach blossoms, but she had also put a slow effect poison in it as well.
The road to the Yellow Springs, since she entered the palace, she had personally paved the way.
The court was deeply involved.
If she wanted to earn power to firmly sit in the court, she had to learn to endure.
Enduring what normal people couldn’t, only then could she do big things.
She couldn’t let herself be pampered. Once Mo Ye came to the Shimmering Hall too many times, she would pretend to be sick.
When there were empty positions in court, Mo Ye would ask her for candidates.
She always refused with a smile, saying that the harem wasn’t allowed to interfere with politics.
But she still chose a few after Mo Ye insisted. She actually knew that Mo Ye wanted to expand her power in court.
Mo Ye also knew that she had lost her heart and was on guard against everything.
Three years of separation, she didn’t complain once after coming back. The one hundred and eighteen lives of the Luo Family, she just lowered her head and said with a faint smile, “It’s all past.”
This kind of hatred, how could it all be in the past?
Even he couldn’t forgive himself, how could she forgive him?
He understood her, he understood her that well. Her eyes that were like water, the layers of rocks had been piled around her heart, not letting anyone in.
So even if he knew that she was accumulating power in the palace, he let her do it.
He even used his own power to expand her power.
The court all praised her for her knowledge, other than the Nalan Family who had three hundred thousand troops.
Their only daughter called Nalan Ying was Mo Ye’s concubine.
Then she couldn’t stay.
In the seventh year of Mo Ye’s reign, she became pregnant.
Only the Nalan Family’s power remained in the harem, she was the only concubine.
She gave a cold laugh and without any hesitation, she had the guard get the abortion medicine. She aborted this child without a word and placed the blame on Nalan Ying.
Mo Ye’s only prince, the Nalan Family was instantly ‘defeated’. Even general Nalan Wei who had countless achievements couldn’t avoid the fate of being beheaded.
In the darkness, he moved step by step towards her. He reached his hand out to hold her who had a pale face and trembled as he cried.
After a while, he said in a choked low voice, “Did you love me?”
Actually, she didn’t even feel any pain when she aborted her child. That was their flesh and blood, an innocent life that hadn’t been born yet.
She gritted her teeth and she couldn’t hold it back as her tears fell. She said in her usual soft voice, but it was filled with sadness, “In the past.”
The past her had loved him, waited for him, believed in him, missed him.
But now there was only hatred that remained.
“Why can’t you go to the past? Why can’t you love me again?”
Silence, silence, silence, a long silence.
She closed her eyes and when she opened them again, her tone returned to normal as she said in a low voice, “This concubine has always deeply loved the emperor.”
The strength in his arms deflated, but he still tightly held her.
There was only shame in his heart that kept growing bigger.
If the previous host’s family didn’t die, even if she stopped loving him, he might have fallen in love with someone else.
But because her entire family died, he was unable to escape and slowly sunk deeper in.
In the twelve year of Mo Ye’s reign, the realm was stable.
The previous host already had most of the power in court and it was common for her to interfere with the matters of the state.
He liked to go to the kitchen to personally cook for her on the seventh of the month. He made all kinds of delicacies, as well as her favourite honey egg custard.
