Chapter 130 Madness
"Master, I'm getting some progress on what you instructed me to do a few days ago..."
Xihe's voice trembled slightly, and when it reached Yihuan's ears, it immediately brought infinite chill.
Seeing Xihe's reaction, Yihuan probably guessed the result. She closed her eyes and tried hard to hold back her tears. After a few breaths, she opened her eyes and her eyes were clear.
Her eyes were red as she looked at Xi He's bloodless lips, which were slightly parted, and she said word by word, "Bring it here."
Xi He's eyes also turned red, and tears suddenly rolled down to the ground. She fell to her knees with a plop, and tremblingly handed over the paper in her hand.
"Master, please take care of yourself after reading this..."
Xihe felt extremely distressed. She knew clearly that her master would not be able to bear it after knowing the truth, but she still chose to tell it.
She really couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and she couldn't bear to see her master live the rest of his life in the lies of the person he loved most.
Hearing her say this, Yihuan instantly guessed the truth.
The string in her heart suddenly broke, and she opened the paper tremblingly. The words inside were illegible, but she could still make out the general idea.
After seeing the content above, Yihuan could no longer hold back. Like a pagoda swaying in the wind, he could no longer withstand the slightest damage and fell to the ground.
"why why....."
Why would the person she loved so much choose to hurt her in this way?
Yihuan was muttering to herself on the ground. Even though she was prepared, she still couldn't bear the blow of the truth.
The pregnancy-preserving medicine her lover had specially prepared for her turned out to be a medicine to prevent pregnancy. Foolishly, she drank it year after year, year after year, hoping for it, only to be disappointed time and time again, and to try to convince herself again and again...
No wonder the emperor has become increasingly cold towards her since she became pregnant...
No wonder Qi Ru, who prescribed the medicine for her pregnancy, died unexpectedly on the way to the Southern Tour...
No wonder Concubine Ling only became pregnant after she stopped taking the medicine...
It turns out that this man was behind all of this!
It is said that the imperial family is heartless, but she did not believe it and insisted on entering the palace as a concubine. She persuaded herself again and again, always thinking that being able to stay with the man she loved was enough.
Now it was all in vain. Her love at first sight was wrong, and entering the palace as a concubine at all costs was even more wrong!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Yihuan suddenly laughed a little crazily.
She was laughing at the Forbidden City, and even more so at herself.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Just for such a ridiculous man, for her own ridiculous sincerity, she was trapped in such a place, living like a bird, and wasting the best half of her life.
Thinking of this, she couldn't bear it anymore!
She ignored Xi He's attempts to stop her and rushed out without hesitation.
She staggered along the bluestone road, the only belief in her heart was to ask the emperor for an explanation, to seek an explanation for her sincerity.
When she arrived at the Yangxin Palace, she ignored everything and rushed in.
"Oh! Madam Shufei, you can't go in there. The emperor is handling government affairs inside..."
Jinzhong, who was guarding outside, was quick-witted and stopped her outside the hall when she was about to rush in.
When no one was paying attention, he winked at Xiao Dezi beside him. Xiao Dezi understood and took advantage of the moment to disappear under everyone's nose while making a fuss.
"Your Majesty! I request to see Your Majesty... Eunuch Jinzhong... Please inform me that I wish to see Your Majesty..."
Yihuan knelt on the ground in a panic, shouting loudly, determined to see the emperor.
"Empress Shufei, please wait a moment. I will inform them for you. You cannot force your way in!" Jinzhong saw her like this and guessed what was going on. He hurried in to inform them.
The emperor was processing memorials when he heard a commotion. He looked up at Li Yu, frowning and asking, "What's going on outside? Why's all that noise?"
Li Yu was about to go out to ask when Jinzhong came running in to report, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with Concubine Shu today. She insists on seeing you and is kneeling outside the palace asking for an audience..."
The emperor frowned slightly, but finally put down his pen and sighed, "Let her come in."
When Yihuan staggered in, the emperor frowned even more tightly when he saw her miserable appearance.
"Shu Fei, why did you come to the Yangxin Palace today? I've been busy with government affairs recently and don't have time to see you. I'll go and accompany you when I'm free."
The emperor was talking to himself, not noticing Yihuan's pale and fragile look at the moment, thinking that she had suddenly gone mad because she had been treated coldly for a long time.
Yihuan's eyes gradually turned red, hurt by his perfunctory attitude.
She couldn't believe that the man she had risked her life to follow was such a cold-hearted person.
She handed the prescription to the emperor regardless.
"At this point, how long do you want to keep this a secret from me, Your Majesty?" Yihuan looked at the emperor stubbornly, with coldness in her eyes.
The emperor was confused. He took the prescription and looked at it. When he saw the familiar names of various medicines on it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
After a brief moment of surprise, the emperor lightly put down the crumpled paper Yihuan had held, sat aside, sighed, and asked calmly, "How did you hear this news?"
Yihuan had originally held onto some hope, but his action completely destroyed it.
She was even a little desperate. Suppressing her slightly trembling body, she asked coldly, "Your Majesty, don't you even want to explain? If I hadn't accidentally discovered that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I've been drinking all these years was fake, would Your Majesty have kept it a secret from me my entire life?"
"Shu Fei, you are losing your mind. I am the emperor. Why should I explain to you what I want to do?"
"You are the Emperor, and you naturally have your own considerations for what you want to do. But just because I am a member of the Yehenara clan and was personally recommended by the Empress Dowager, do you have to be so wary of me? Now that the Tenth Prince is gone, I have given up hope. If you don't like me, you can just not welcome me into the palace. Why bother pretending to love me and then resorting to such dirty tricks behind my back? My sincere heart has been misplaced after all! My infatuation over the years is nothing but a joke!"
Yihuan stiffened her neck and hurled insults at the emperor, her demeanor bordering on madness. But as she uttered these words, she felt an immense sense of relief.
She tore off the emperor's hypocritical mask with her own hands, revealing his true selfishness and heartlessness before her eyes.
I think he must be tired of pretending after so many years, right?
"How dare you!" The emperor raised his hand and smashed the teacup beside him to the ground.
These shocking words hurt the emperor so much that he stood up and looked at her in disbelief, his whole body filled with rage.
"Who allowed you to be so rude in front of me? Considering your past infatuation, I will forgive your foolish behavior today. Go back and reflect on your actions. My Yangxin Palace will not tolerate your wanton behavior!"
The emperor roared loudly, his face flushed with anger.
This blush was the result of shame and anger after being exposed, guilty conscience, and a bit of anger at being contradicted, but there was not a trace of guilt towards her.
