Chapter 325 I Will Not Let Him Go
Jin Zhao didn't interrupt him, but just quietly listened to him confide in his heart, his voice was gentle without any waves.
But Jin Zhao knew that this matter had been pressed in his heart for a long time, and it was only by speaking out that he could be so calm and without turmoil. In fact, his heart was already... broken.
"Mother concubine... is the most gentle person in the world. She always gives me the best. She has a pure and quiet personality and never competes for favor. The emperor likes her temperament, but he can't be blatant.Otherwise, the concubines in the harem will be jealous, but even if she doesn't fight or snatch her, some people will have their idea on her. When she is pregnant, they will drug her until she gives birth to her body.I was weak, and my mother and concubine did not give up on me, but searched for famous doctors to treat me, and managed to save my life."
"The concubine mother died in my arms. That time... she vomited a lot of blood, which almost wetted her clothes. She is such a clean person, but in the end... she walked away in such a miserable way.I will never forget that scene, she took my hand, cried and said sorry to me, and left me alone, she made me strong, but at that time...how did I become strong..."
Speaking of this, Jin Zhao clearly felt his body trembling slightly, and... the warm water stains on the back of his hands.
Jin Zhao's heart ached for some reason, and he suddenly felt that he was stupid and didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only hold him tighter.
"It's okay, you've come so far, you've done enough."
"Really?" Shen Li raised his eyes slightly, and looked at him uncertainly.
His eye sockets were moist, which made people feel distressed.
Jin Zhao sat upright, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and said very seriously, "It can't be true anymore."
After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to kiss the corners of his eyes and the tears on his face, "Even if you doubt yourself, you can't doubt me."
Shen Li's eyes cast on him gently, "Thank you...for always being by my side."
With the sound of Shen Li falling, a long-lost "ding" sounded in his mind, and the system frame had already turned dark pink.
[Congratulations to the host, the favorability with the character "Shen Li" has reached 98, the task is about to be completed, please hurry up the host.】
Jin Zhao's originally smiling face suddenly froze, already... 98?
In the early stage, he wanted to increase his goodwill with Shen Li no matter what, but at this moment, he felt a little... conflicted in his heart.
It's two points away, and it's 100 points. What should he do now to stay in this world?
Could it be... Do you want to suppress the favorability here?
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Shen Li asked, "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"
Jin Zhao hurriedly returned to God and said, "It's nothing, I also want... to be by your side all the time."
For some reason, when he said this, Shen Li always felt a bad premonition, but he couldn't say it for a while.
A few days later, Jingxinyuan.
A middle-aged woman leaned on the couch with disheveled hair and a haggard complexion, which formed two extreme contrasts with her radiant face a few days ago.
"Have you heard? Just yesterday, Cao Taiwei was beheaded in public at the Meridian Gate. At that time, blood was everywhere, and it was terrifying!"
"That's what he deserved. Whoever asked him to do such a thing, dared to touch the late emperor's woman, he probably expected this day long ago."
"A slap can't be made, and the Empress Dowager is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I didn't expect it to come to an end, but it ended up like this."
"Originally, this Jingxin Garden has been empty for a long time, just because of the Empress Dowager, it's really bad luck for us to come and serve her!"
"What can we do? No matter how bad it is, she is still the emperor's biological mother. We have to obey. It's just...the emperor is really ruthless. Those who break into here...I'm afraid they won't be able to turn over in this lifetime."
"It's also fortunate that Empress Dowager is His Majesty's biological mother, otherwise... I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to take this life."
"By the way, isn't there still His Royal Highness King Su, will he...will save Empress Dowager?"
"How could it be possible to save him, he is now... already unable to protect himself."
...
The maids were discussing to their heart's content, completely ignoring whether the people in the room heard or not. Halfway through the discussion, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
The voice stopped abruptly, and the maids subconsciously shouted: "Empress Dowager."
Wu Shi ignored their unreasonableness, but asked directly: "You just said... King Su? What's wrong with him?"
The maids looked at each other and said: "King Su...he was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner, and the provincial capital...you don't have to go back, the emperor handed over the provincial capital to other people."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu seemed to have been exhausted, and leaned against the door frame weakly, "Then... where is he now?"
"We don't know much about this. He should have left the capital. Anyway... the emperor ordered that he not be allowed to stay in the capital."
Mrs. Wu was silent for a long time, then closed the door silently, and re-entered the room. The maids looked at each other, and then left here too.
Inside the huge palace, it was dilapidated and desolate.
Sitting paralyzed on the couch, Mrs. Wu muttered two words repeatedly, "Li Jing..."
In the evening of the next day, a figure entered Jingxin Garden.
Wu Shi looked at the person standing in front of him, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "After all, I still lost in your hands."
Shen Li stood with his hands behind his back, condescendingly looking down at the ashen-faced man who was slumped on the couch.
"Why? Are you still not satisfied with the situation I'm in now?" Wu raised her eyes to look at him and said.
Shen Li took a step closer, and said indifferently: "Of course I'm not satisfied, aren't you still alive?"
"You... come, come! Come, come!" Wu yelled towards the door with all her might.
Even so, Shen Li still stood there indifferently, allowing her to shout.
Until her voice was hoarse and she couldn't make a sound.
Wu Shi no longer had the strength to struggle anymore, "Shen Li, I don't ask for anything else, your fourth brother... didn't do anything to hurt you, let him go..."
"Fourth brother? I'm afraid you remember wrongly. Is he worthy to be my fourth brother?"
As for what he meant, Wu had no room to refute.
"Don't touch him."
"I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Your precious son is restless, and I will not let him go." Shen Li's tone was firm, without any room for negotiation.
Wu coughed violently until she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, she rolled down from the bed, crawled hard to Shen Li's legs, and grabbed the hem of his clothes, as if grabbing a life-saving strawGenerally, "I beg you, let him go."
Shen Li took a step back without hesitation, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and threw it beside her, "How did my concubine mother die back then, today... I'll let you taste how she felt back then, don't worry, I will definitely make your life worse than death."
Wu picked up the medicine bottle with a desperate expression, and she didn't close her eyes until the last moment of struggling.
