Even though in the long years, he had caused her irreparable harm, but Empress Xiande's heart still could not leave him.
Was life fated to have such a fate? This fate did not come perfectly, it could even be called a predestined fate. When this predestined fate was about to end, she stubbornly refused to let go. Like a moth flying into a flame, until the last moment, she would never let go.
"Qing Zhen, I cannot accompany you anymore." Emperor Yong Le said apologetically, "When you married me, I thought you would be protected. In reality, after so many years, you have not received anything." He spoke very slowly. After every sentence, he had to rest for a while. It seemed to be very tiring.
Empress Xiande said, "Don't say anymore."
The two of them, ever since they became empresses, one called himself "Zhen" and the other "Chen Qie". Only when their lives were about to reach the end, when they would not be able to meet again, did they use "You and I" to address each other as if they were a normal couple.
He said, "Go live your own life. You are so good, you will definitely be happy in the future. Marry someone else, don't choose a selfish husband like me. Find someone who loves you … "
Empress Xiande sobbed.
She suddenly felt her hand being grabbed. She saw Emperor Yong Le's bright eyes staring at her. He gritted his teeth and said, "But I am not willing. I do not want … I am very selfish. You are my woman, I do not want you to marry someone else. "
Empress Xiande stilled.
"This year, I have worked hard to live, hoping to live a few more days. Actually, it is not because I want to see Xie Yuan rule the world. The dust has settled, there is nothing I cannot let go of, I am just … Reluctant … "He struggled to breathe," I am reluctant to part with you … Even if I have to be husband and wife with you for half a day, one more moment is good. "
"When I first saw you and you were summoned to the palace, it was not mother's idea. It was me from the start. I told mother that I thought you were good. After so many years, you thought I was satisfied with 'Empress Xiande'. Actually, it was not. I said anyone could be the empress as long as they could do it well. Actually, it was not like that. It was you from the start. Those words … were all lies … "
Empress Xiande covered her mouth and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Emperor Yong Le's face turned even paler. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. He said, "It is a pity that my fate is not good and I have implicated you for life …" He reached out as if wanting to help Empress Xian De wipe away the tears on her face. But halfway through the action, his hand drooped down powerlessly.
His eyes closed.
Empress Xiande covered her mouth, burying herself in the bedding and crying bitterly. She cried her heart out, but no one outside could hear her. She buried her voice in the thick bedding, wishing that she could bury herself in it as well. From now on, she would not hear, see, blame, or think.
The incense in the copper stove rose in spirals and dispersed in the air. There were only suppressed sobs in the room. The moon outside the window was bright and gentle, so full that it didn't seem real.
A moment later, Empress Xiande stood up. She gently tucked the blanket over Emperor Yong Le and kissed his lips. She tidied her hair in front of the mirror, wiped away her tears, and slowly opened the door.
A room full of eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling outside. Eunuch Deng bowed and came forward. Empress Xiande said calmly, "His Majesty has passed away."
Eunuch Deng was startled and then knelt down solemnly. He placed the horsetail whisk in front of him and kowtowed a few times.
When the eunuchs and palace maids outside saw this, they also knelt down and kowtowed. Their voices were sorrowful and resounded in the nine palaces.
