Zheng Ji knew very well that as a princess, she had to leave Jingzhao and go to Changding Mansion. Although this was not a choice that any princess would make, it did not mean that she could not do it.
However, if a concubine wants to leave Jingzhao, it will be extremely difficult, and it can even be said to be almost impossible.
Throughout the dynasties, there have been concubines who followed their children and left Beijing to go to various fiefdoms, but there was a prerequisite for that, that is, these concubines no longer became the harem of the current dynasty.
In other words, only after the emperor dies can these concubines leave the palace and leave Jingzhao.
No wonder Emperor Yongning was so angry. This statement... is simply worthy of death!
Facing the emperor's raging anger, Zheng Ji still looked up and said with a choked voice: "Father, this won't work, that won't work. Please tell me, father, what should I do to go back to before?"
She sobbed a few times and continued: "You and your mother and concubine quarreled. I... whose side can I stand on? Father, if you really want to lock your mother and concubine in Fuqing Palace, what will I do? Woolen cloth?.
Her voice was more panicked than ever before, and her eyes were also at a loss as never before.
At this moment, there was something much different about her than her usual noble and cool appearance.
It's like... meeting a folk girl whose parents are arguing but can't do anything about it.
Before Emperor Yongning spoke, she closed her eyes and tears fell down again.
"Father, I'm afraid... what if my concubine is like Empress Shu and something happens in her palace? Then, I will never have a concubine."
There was a great unspeakable sadness in her voice, which came out naturally and unpretentiously, and seemed to seep into the hearts of others.
In the ears of others, it feels like it will really happen.
Emperor Yongning was originally furious, but these words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing his anger.
Chang Ding will lose his mother and concubine forever, that means... he will lose Concubine Jiang forever?
Just the thought of these words in his mind made him breathless and difficult to accept.
He never thought about the possibility that he would lose Concubine Jiang.
Even if he confines the other party to Fuqing Palace, even if he thinks that he doesn't want to go to Fuqing Palace in the future, but...will he lose her?
This is absolutely not allowed!
"Father, you know my concubine's temperament. When she feels that she has done nothing wrong, she will never bow her head and submit. I beg you, even if you want to punish my concubine, please give her a chance. Okay?" Zheng Ji's voice became hoarse, and he burst into tears.
This doesn't require acting.
Whenever she thought of the sadness of losing her mother and concubine in her previous life, her tears naturally fell.
In the previous life, after the death of his mother and concubine, the father was also unable to accept it and was depressed for a while. However... after the mother and concubine died, she was thrown into prison.
The father does have feelings for the mother and concubine, but not much.
She has known this for a long time, and her father is obviously very clear about it in his own mind. If this is the case, why is his father still acting so coquettishly now?
Zheng Ji didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand either.
When she entered the palace this time, she only had to remind her father that he would lose his mother and concubine, and that was enough.
Things like feelings are too complex and illusory, and the role they play is too huge.
After more than ten years, even cats and dogs can get along with each other, and they can still have feelings.
What's more, a living person?
Moreover, the emperor who holds a high position is accustomed to controlling everything. His favor can be released or withdrawn at any time.
——He didn’t know what kind of impact this closing and releasing would have on others.
Zheng Ji just wanted to let him know that even if he could decide the life and death of others, he might not really be able to control it.
It may be easy to let a person die, but power can decide. But it is extremely difficult to let a person live, and even the imperial power is powerless.
Father, I’m afraid you’ve never thought about this before, right?
Emperor Yongning's chest heaved violently, and his expression was almost as ugly as when he heard Concubine Jiang appeared outside Cining Palace.
He closed his eyes and imagined the life without Concubine Jiang, but found that his mind went blank.
This is simply unimaginable!
He just ordered Concubine Jiang to be grounded. Because of the anger in her heart, she had not been to Fuqing Palace for two or three days, and she was somewhat uncomfortable.
If in the future, he couldn't hear her soft voice, couldn't see that beautiful and charming face, couldn't feel her weak and boneless support when her arms hugged her...
Will he be without these in the future? How could this be without these?
Zheng Ji saw the confused look in his eyes, and once again added fuel to the fire, saying: "Father, my mother and concubine... she has a fierce temper. If one day she really abandons me, then... then... what should I do?"
These words once again touched Emperor Yongning's heart.
He couldn't help but wanted to stand up and immediately ordered: "Here comes someone! Get ready immediately! I want to..."
The words came to his lips but he swallowed them again. He... did he really want to go to Fuqing Palace?
If Concubine Jiang... really had any dealings with Cining Palace, if she really had any ulterior motives, then... he would never accept it!
At this moment, the emperor felt as if he was being put on fire. While his whole body was heating up, he felt like he was being taken down and soaked in ice water.
The heat and cold mixed together, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...what's wrong with you? Do you need me to call the imperial doctor?" Xue Gong asked quickly, and he was frightened.
The emperor's face was really ugly, and he was trembling slightly, as if... he was frightened.
Aren't you scared? His Highness Chang Ding’s words frightened the Emperor!
Xue Gong looked at Zheng Ji, but saw that the other person looked confused, as if he didn't know what he was doing.
In fact, Zheng Ji was calm-minded at the moment and only thought: There is still a little bit left, just one sentence left.
So, she knelt down deeply and said to Emperor Yongning: "Father, I... I would like to make an exchange with my father, okay? In order to let my mother and concubine come out of Fuqing Palace, please grant me a request. May I?"
It took Emperor Yongning a while to find his voice: "What deal?"
After deeply feeling the fear of loss, he suddenly realized something: Chang Ding was the person Jiang Guifei cared about most. As long as Chang Ding was still there, Jiang Guifei would never let him go no matter what!
So, what are the requirements for a long-term decision? Can Concubine Jiang be allowed to come out of Fuqing Palace?
In other words, what can Chang Ding say that can really make him let go of his grudge?
