"How about here?" Qianlong asked Murong Wanhua with concern.
"Nothing much?" Murong Wanhua said expressionlessly.
"I hope you'll enjoy your life and work here.”
"Impossible, I won't be happy. You locked me in this invisible cage, how can I be happy? I long for the blue sky, to fly freely like a bird.”
Qianlong looked at Murong Wanhua and said with deep affection,"Life isn't as you wish. In nine out of ten cases, if you get that, you lose this.”
"I don't understand, why are you treating me like this?" Murong Wanhua asked Qianlong. I won't sleep with you, and I won't be with you. I've said it many times. Today, I'll tell you again solemnly that I'm not a promiscuous woman. I'll be faithful to you until the end. Give up on that thought. No matter who you are, I refuse to listen.”
Qianlong was a little embarrassed. He did not know how he had forgotten what he wanted to say before he came to see Murong Wanhua. He was speechless for a moment.
"I'm pregnant." Murong Wanhua said calmly.
Qianlong was shocked.
Murong Wanhua added,"It's been more than a month. It's Wei Zhishu's child."”
Qianlong looked at Murong Wanhua's flat stomach and wanted to have x-ray vision to see what was in her stomach. Heavens, how could this be?
Qianlong was stunned. Although his appearance was strong in the eyes of others, his heart was very fragile. A strong appearance, but a fragile heart. He suddenly started to make connections. This woman that he had been thinking about day and night was not his woman, but someone else's woman. That wretched man, that Wei Zhishu. When this woman was in front of Wei Zhishu, did that mean that Wei Zhishu could see wherever he wanted? He could touch her anywhere he wanted, do whatever he wanted her to do, and in whatever position he wanted her to be in?
Would she resist? Was she obedient?
She's pregnant. The child she's pregnant with isn't mine, nor is it a dragon's child. It's Wei Zhishu's child. My God, why is this?
Qianlong couldn't help but tear up. Tears swirled in his eyes. He couldn't help it. Soon, tears fell like morning dew from the leaves. Large teardrops fell from Qianlong's cheeks.
A man does not shed tears easily because he has not yet reached the point of sadness.
Why was the woman whom he had been longing for so long so heartless to him? I've put all my effort and love into her, and I can't even get anything in return? If you have a heart of stone and are sincere, why don't you open the stone?
Qianlong turned around and left Murong Wanhua without saying anything.
Murong Wanhua watched as Qianlong walked out, unmoved.
What was the purpose of living? Material wealth, reputation, and status? Everything was nothing. Everything was fleeting clouds. If the person he liked couldn't get her heart, what was the point of living? Why can't I touch the softest part of her heart? If I can't get her heart, I'll do my best and put in so much effort, but everything will be in vain? I laugh at my strength, I laugh at my incompetence. Qianlong was thinking. He suddenly felt inferior, weak, and incompetent. What's the point of such an emperor with a glorious appearance but a painful heart? What exactly were women? What exactly was love? This was a difficult philosophical question.
The ultimate goal of a man's relationship with a woman was to bond physically and mentally. The deeper development of friendship was love. Otherwise, it would not conform to common sense and human nature.
He didn't want to go to court, read memorials, or see anyone. He was staring out the window alone in a daze.
He couldn't help but write a poem to express his feelings:
like nothing
like nothing
how big is the heart
How deep is my heart
you
It's as if nothing happened
Love is very heavy
How can it be so easy to hold
It's as if nothing happened
The still water flows deep
hold one's head high
To respond to movement with stillness
the outside
like nothing
Affection is water
Thoughts are mud
You think, I think
whisk together
What's there to distinguish between you, you, me, me
eyes of outsiders
The determination to not understand
indifferently
Only by reaching this height
like nothing
Noble Shou called over Bai mama from Xinzheku.
"You are my trusted aide and I have been looking for an opportunity to promote you. This time, the opportunity has come. Is he strict with you?"
"Replying to Noble Lady Shou, I have only seen her once. She didn't speak and only walked past me. She didn't shake hands or exchange greetings, as if she was high and mighty or disdainful. He heard that she was the Emperor's subordinate and was promoted to an important position in the palace?”
"Let me tell you the truth. She is the woman the emperor has taken a fancy to. She is a Han woman who has been married and has children. I heard that she has yet to get her hands on her, and she refuses to obey. I have received instructions from the higher-ups to disfigure her.”
"Me?" Bai mama was shocked.
"Yes, you." Noble Shou was very calm as he stared at Bai mama.
"Orders from above? Who was it? Who was the person above? Could it be the emperor?"
Noble Shou said," The higher-ups are the higher-ups. Don't ask too much and don't know too much. It's not good for you to know too much. Do you dare to do it?" The remuneration is generous and the future is boundless."
Bai mama was very nervous and timidly asked in a low voice,""I was not mentally prepared at all. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid. I didn't know how to disfigure myself.”
"What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, there's a big guy holding it up. What are you afraid of? In fact, disfiguring her was a very simple matter. Just take a basin of sulfuric acid and splash it on her face. It was as simple as that.”
"Splash sulfuric acid on her face?"
"Yes, very simple."
Noble Shou's words were very simple, but in Bai mama's eyes, it was very complicated. How could it be simple? Destroying the face of the woman the emperor liked, the emperor would definitely be furious and kill him without mercy. He wouldn't even have a chance to explain himself and might even exterminate his entire family. This was too terrifying, too terrifying. How could this Noble Shou be so sinister? She just wanted to be her lackey, a noble who had no status. However, who was the person above her? Empress Dowager? It was impossible. Empress? Impossible, it was possible. Those concubines? Who could it be? But, but, but, no matter who it was? This woman entering the palace was a competition for favor. She was a thorn in the side of all the women in the harem. Everyone had to kill her and then be happy.
" Create an opportunity and set up a trap. Splash sulfuric acid to disfigure and destroy this woman's face. At most, you'll be punished with 30 strokes of the cane if you make a mistake or make a mistake. Your reward will be great. After all the bitterness, happiness will come. The key is whether you want to do it or not."
"Noble Shou, this servant can be bold and ask meekly, what is my greatest reward?”
Noble Shou stared into Granny Bai's eyes and asked,""What do you want in return?"
