Deng Sui looked up, with hot tears welling up in his eyes.
Liu Zhaoqiang endured his weakness and allowed Deng Sui to cry.
"Does Your Majesty really not know the truth about my concubine's inability to conceive for many years?"
"It's not that I'm weak, nor that I'm unlucky, nor that His Majesty's heirs are weak. It's that the Queen gave me something extremely cold and poisonous since I entered the palace, cutting off the hope of having an heir for the rest of my life."
"But in the past few years, have I ever done anything that went beyond the rules? Have I ever shown any disrespect or resentment toward Queen Yin?"
"I serve the Queen with all my heart, and I dare not complain."
"I also know that His Majesty hopes to see a harmonious Ye Ting, and I do it without any regrets."
"The results of it?"
"This time I was lucky enough to have an insight into Queen Yin's scheme. But if I had told His Majesty this time, would His Majesty have deposed Queen Yin and made the decision on my behalf?"
"Your Majesty, there is no reason to guard against thieves every night."
"If the queen's witchcraft trick succeeds, then maybe I won't even have the chance to be kicked out of the palace."
"Will Queen Yin allow me to concubine and allow Sheng'er to exist in the world?"
Deng Sui knelt on the ground, his face wet with tears, like rain hitting banana trees, sad and sad, but also a little decisive.
Liu Zhao had never seen Deng Sui like this.
For more than seven years, Deng Sui has always been a gentle and gentle Jie Yuhua in front of him.
This is the first time that Deng Sui has so frankly confessed her fears, selfishness, worries, and calculations.
For a moment, Liu Zhao didn't know what to think.
Silence spread little by little, and Liu Zhao looked at Deng Sui who was crying silently with heavy eyes.
Liu Zhao knew in his heart that Deng Sui's worries were not unnecessary.
Once the queen's plan succeeds, what awaits Deng Sui and even the Deng family will be disaster.
Including Sheng'er...
Queen Yin will not be soft-hearted towards his only heir who stands in the way.
But there was something awkward in his heart, just like the graceful jasmine flower that was blooming in his heart without staining the dust, had already changed its color.
No, maybe he was the only one who thought it was pure white from beginning to end.
Liu Zhao felt sad and thought of what his adoptive mother, Queen Mother Dou, once said. When he stepped into Yeting, he stepped into the battlefield.
If you don’t fight, you die.
It turns out that this is true.
And what he thought was an exception was just false.
"When Queen Yin attacked you, it was due to negligence." Liu Zhao sighed.
He and Deng Sui had been together for seven years, and he knew best how much Deng Sui had suffered in those first few years in seeking a son.
"I have no intention of blaming you."
"I've been just waiting for you to confess for the past few days."
"Sui'er, if you were the queen, could you be fair and selfless, and be a mother to the world?"
How can one eliminate selfishness if he is not a saint?
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"I know I'm wrong, and I don't dare to ask for a lower position."
Deng Sui was confident.
From the moment Yin Shi fell, the back position was hers.
But when she really got to the point where she had the rear position within easy reach, she suddenly felt a little confused, as if she had lost her way.
When she was selected into Yeting and made a noble person, she began to accumulate strength little by little for the position of the master of the harem.
There were no near misses, and the goal was achieved.
So, what about the future?
What should she do after she ascends to the throne and becomes the mother-in-law of the world?
After more than twenty years of busy work, once she stopped, she was at a loss.
Liu Zhao stared intently at this pear-shaped face, feeling quite sad.
The days when our hearts were connected were eventually gone forever.
He did not dare to trust Deng Sui as before.
"Go back and think about it."
"I should think again."
Liu Zhao thought about it while thinking about it, and decided in his heart that Deng Sui would be given the position of queen.
Sheng'er needs a legitimate eldest son's identity.
The day and night interactions in the past few days made him realize that Sheng'er was not a dull piece of deadwood, but a jade waiting to be carved.
If you cultivate them well, you will be able to continue the glory of the Han Dynasty.
As for the sick body, it has been automatically filtered by Liu Zhao.
As for this cub, he has no right to be picky.
"I thank you for your kindness."
Deng Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Ban Zhao said, His Majesty still has feelings for her.
Liu Zhao looked at Deng Sui's thin back and softened his voice, "I know you have been wronged for many years."
Deng Sui paused for a moment, his eyes bright with death, but he did not look back.
It was like opening the door of the palace and walking out of the hall, she would have new expectations in her heart.
She doesn't want to, nor will she, let herself indulge in love.
Always have a clear goal and keep going.
…
"Sheng'er."
As Deng Sui listened to the policy arguments coming from Qiu Shuang's mouth, the vague thoughts in his heart seemed to become clearer bit by bit.
Since she was a child, what she wanted to do was not to be a husband and raise children, nor to be the wife of a famous actress.
She read poetry and books, studied sages, understood people's livelihood, was gentle and courteous, and learned well and memorized, not to waste her life in Yeting.
She wanted to get out.
She wanted her voice to be heard and her talent to be seen.
However, the world cannot allow it.
Deng Sui sat on the chair holding Sunge in his arms, flipping the bamboo slips quickly with his fingers, and the sadness in his eyes was gradually replaced by brilliance.
She can do it too.
"Does the concubine also like it?" Sun Ge was not unhappy at all.
Liu Sheng was destined to die young at the age of sixteen.
It was only a matter of time before Deng Sui, the Empress Dowager Deng, came to power and established the unparalleled achievements of rising and destroying a country, succeeding the unparalleled world, and bringing prosperity to the people.
Dressed as Liu Sheng, she never thought of depriving Deng Sui of his power.
She couldn't bear it, and she didn't want to.
Who said that the green tea son and the white lotus mother and concubine could not live in harmony for a limited time.
If not, tear it again.
As you tear it apart, you will have feelings, and naturally you will stop tearing it apart.
"Did your father give it to you?" There was deep envy in Deng Sui's voice.
Reading policy theory at the age of four was something she had never dared to think about.
In order not to stand out in her mother's mind, she could only stay up late every night to enrich herself.
"Mother, concubine, don't..."
dislike……
These three words were like a critical mass, making it impossible for her to say them out.
she likes……
I have liked it since I was a child.
In the nearly twenty years since she became literate, she has not been able to come into contact with these things openly.
When he was in the boudoir, his mother said he was not doing his job properly and was very unusual.
Now that he is living in Yeting, once he is known to others, he will be like Si Chen, who has evil intentions and will be accused by thousands of people.
But she really couldn't say she didn't like it against her will.
When Sunge saw this, he waved his hand and asked Qiu Shuang to go down and have a rest.
As for herself, she continued to nestle in Deng Sui's arms and said, "Concubine, please read to me, okay?"
"My father often read it to me."
"Qiu Shuang's knowledge is so poor that she doesn't know many words." Sunge snorted and muttered.
Qiu Shuang: After all, I paid by mistake.
What does it mean to not know a lot of words? She obviously knows them all except rare words!
Hum, burning the bridge across the river.
Deng Sui's hand holding the bamboo slip trembled slightly, his eyebrows were curved, as if there was a starry sky in his crescent-moon eyes.
