He seemed to see her surprised expression.
The man chuckled. "These days, the people of the Gu Family are really too arrogant. They even dare to touch my woman."
He stroked Shen Yueji's hair. He seemed to be murmuring to himself, but also seemed to be getting some kind of affirmation. "Yueji, I have never trusted anyone."
“....”
Sometimes, he had to face and plan everything by himself. He didn't even have anyone to talk to.
He suppressed everything in his heart.
Even when he was facing Gu Yueqin, who loved him wholeheartedly, he had never truly trusted her when she was alive. All her worries were after she died. In the study room, facing her body, he told her of his schemes. All these years, how tired he was, how many mistakes he had made, how many people he had killed, how many loved ones had left him, and those loyal officials who were of no value to him were abandoned by him in the end.
Sometimes, he would ask her softly in front of her body.
Did I do the right thing?
Since Shen Yueji was willing to die to save him at the Broken Intestines Cliff last time, his heart, which had always been numb, suddenly had warmth. There were many women who were willing to die for him, and there were also many loyal officials who died for him.
However, when facing Shen Yueji, he was moved.
In the future, he thought a lot. It was not impossible to have a woman who could hold hands with him, who could talk to him, who could stay in his arms and talk to him.
At least …
He would not be lonely. After so many years of loneliness, Shen Yueji's arrival warmed his cold heart. He actually began to be greedy for the only remaining warmth.
"Your Majesty … are you saying this because you trust me?"
The man looked at her with a smile.
"What about the Empress? The Empress likes you so much, and Your Majesty also doted on the Empress. He didn't want her to suffer any grievances. Your Majesty, don't you like her? "
The man looked indifferent. To be precise, when he heard her mention the Empress, his expression faded.
"Yueji, I have said that I have never trusted anyone except myself."
Looking at her, the man's eyes were dark under the curtain. "Of course, that includes her."
"Your Majesty …"
"Take care of yourself first. I will come to see you later. Hmm? "
The man smiled and gently tucked her hair behind her ears.
"I know. Your Majesty, don't put your heart and soul on the court. Be careful of your dragon body."
Shen Yueji mumbled to herself as she watched the young Emperor get up and leave. Not long after he left, Shuang Xi came over with a plate of pastries and placed it on the tea table in front of her.
"Your Highness, what did you say to His Majesty?"
"What happened?"
"This servant sees that Your Majesty's mood seems to be quite good?"
Recalling what the man had said before he left, Shen Yueji shook her head. "Where's Li Yingying?"
"She found it hard to accept the fact that she was demoted from the high and mighty Second Rank Concubine Ying to an ordinary person."
Speaking up to this point, Shuang Xi sneered, "To think that this servant thought she had something special about her, but it turns out she's no different from an ordinary person. She didn't enjoy her good days for long, and then she fell back into the dust. It's harder for her to accept this than anyone else. Niang niang, Li Yingying is already useless, and it seems that His Majesty doesn't like her that much. "
"Your Highness, did His Majesty not have that kind of feelings for the former Empress? Otherwise, why … would he be so heartless to Li Yingying? "
