Amorous S*ave Girl - Chapter 24
Chapter 24 : The Secret of Qinhe Palace
Everyone in the palace knew that there was a place in the palace that was so beautiful that it was filled with lotus flowers all year round. However, no one except the emperor was allowed to enter, including the queen mother, so Qinhe Palace became a restricted area. Zeng Jin also had some favored concubines who tried to move to Qinhe Palace. The emperor dragged them out and beheaded them on the spot without mercy. Even the empress did not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts about Qinhe Palace, and no concubine dared to use it to test the emperor's favor towards them. The mysterious Qinhe Palace is like the emperor's scales, and those who touch it will die!
But this time, for the first time, the emperor allowed General Han to stay in Qinhe Palace for treatment. Everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, and all the concubines were even more jealous and crazy. Fortunately, the general was a dignified man, otherwise the harem would have been filled with bloodshed.
In the Queen Mother's chamber, the Emperor did not sit down. He stood silently in front of the Queen Mother like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded. "Your Majesty, speak up! Do you want to worry your family to death?"
"Mother, I really don't want to say anything. Since I can't hide it anymore, I have no choice but to tell the truth! Twenty-two years ago, I was still the prince. That year, I went on a tour with father for three months, and I accidentally met a woman who was as graceful as a swan, dressed in white as snow... " When the emperor talked about this woman, his expression became gentle, and his eyes became affectionate, as if he had returned to the green years of twenty-two years ago when passion and dreams coexisted. "Her name is very beautiful, Qinhe. She is the most beautiful and gentle woman I have ever seen in my life. I was deeply attracted to her. Later, she became pregnant with my flesh and blood. I promised Qinhe that I would marry her. However, when I returned to the palace, I was deeply involved in the struggle between brothers for the throne, and had no time to care about the mother and son. After everything was settled, I went back to look for the mother and son, but I only saw an isolated grave. I didn't know where Qinhe's family moved either. A kind-hearted grandmother told Zheng that Qin He died in childbirth, and the child in her belly was not saved and went with Qin He! I ascended the throne and became emperor, gained the world, but lost them forever, Qinhe and my son! I was so disheartened that I didn’t look into it carefully. After I came back, I built the Qinhe Palace, which was filled with portraits I painted for Qinhe. Whenever I missed them, I would go to Qinhe alone. I sat in the palace all night facing the portraits all over the wall..." The emperor raised his head sadly without wanting to shed tears, but the tears still slipped down quietly, uncontrollably...
"Your Majesty! Don't be so sad... it's important to take care of the dragon body..." The Queen Mother was heartbroken, and gently stroked the emperor's back and advised him sadly.
The emperor stopped crying and gently put down the hand that the Queen Mother was patting on his back, "Mother, I'm fine. Let me continue. Three years ago, Ping'er was hit by a hidden arrow when he went into battle. He still fought hard to kill the enemy and finally won the battle, but because of the arrow, There was no way to treat the injury promptly and properly. After returning to the court, the wound continued to worsen. He was already dying and in critical condition. I took the imperial doctor to visit him in person. When the imperial doctor took off Ping'er's clothes and inspected the wound, I saw something was hanging around his neck. It was the Ping'an gold lock piece given to Qinhe which had my name engraved on it. I went to investigate and found out that Mrs. Han was indeed Qinhe's biological aunt. I also confirmed from General Han that he was my and Qinhe's own flesh and blood! But General Han knelt down and begged me not to disclose his identity as a prince to the world. Ping'er hoped that he could be a happy ordinary person and stay away from the fight for the throne to avoid fratricide! If I had recognized Ping'er, the Crown Prince position would have belonged the eldest son instead of the youngest, and Ping'er would have been the Crown Prince. But I had already selected the crown prince at that time. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I agreed to General Han! "
"What?! Why didn't the emperor tell his mother earlier that Ping'er was the royal grandson of the Ai family? The Ai family almost committed evil! We almost forced him to marry his own sister! Even almost beat him to death with a vicious hand! I'm sorry! The family is ashamed of the late emperor... What's the point of living with the Ai family?" The Queen Mother beat her chest and stamped her feet in grief.
The emperor knelt down to the Queen Mother with a thud, "It's not the Queen Mother's fault, it's my fault! I shouldn't have hidden it from the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother quickly pulled the Emperor up with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty! You are the king of a country. How can the Lord kneel down casually!"
The Queen Mother gradually calmed down, "Your Majesty, Ping'er must know his background, otherwise he wouldn't have desperately begged the Ai family to take back his life. Isn't it unfair to him not to return the identity of the prince to Ping'er?"
The emperor was silent for a while and then said: "I promised General Han that I would never break my promise, otherwise he would definitely blame me under Jiuquan. Besides, I don't want Ping'er to fight with his brothers. I have experienced the throne, and I don’t want Ping’er to make the same mistake again..." The emperor closed his eyes in pain and couldn't bear to say any more.
The Queen Mother sighed, "In this case, the Ai family will comply with the emperor and will not mention the acquaintance with Ping'er. It's enough that we and Ping'er know each other well! The emperor and the Ai family will go to see Ping'er together."
The emperor nodded, supported the queen mother, and set off for the Qinhe Palace.
