Chapter 385 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Thirty-four)

Cui Li was keenly aware of Ji Mingyue's gaze, but was not afraid. Malice can sometimes be a help.

Cui Li: "It seems the princess hasn't given up yet. But don't worry, I will live well and raise the prince."

She stopped laughing and said something seriously.

Cui Li: "I think this is the last time we meet. Take care, Princess. I hope you have a good life in your next life."

Ji Mingyue watched the beautiful imperial concubine leave. The door was closed and the place returned to dead silence.

She felt the chill coming from the ventilation and couldn't help but sit down and hold on to the warm and thick quilt.

For a moment, she was filled with sadness, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world and was destined to perish.

……

When Cui Li came out of the underground prison, she saw Liang Sheng standing opposite her.

Cui Li: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Liang Sheng took the cloak from Le Chang, put it on Cui Li, and tied the laces for her.

Liang Sheng: "I was worried about you, so I came outside to wait for you."

Cui Li: "I'm fine, I just wanted to come see her."

Liang Sheng: "What's there to see when a dying person is dying?"

Liang Sheng's tone was somewhat cold. He had no feelings towards this scheming princess of Ji State.

Cui Li smiled and took his hand. Before leaving, she took a look at the closed entrance of the mechanism cave. From the outside, there was only lush grass and rocks.

Cui Li: "Will someone come to break the prison?"

Liang Sheng: "If you can't even find this place, then the Prince of Ji State is really nothing to be feared."

Cui Li: "He will definitely find this place."

Liang Sheng: "Do you trust him so much?"

Cui Li couldn't help laughing. Does she believe in Ji Mingjie's ability?

Cui Li: "Didn't you say someone came to see Concubine Ji?"

Liang Sheng nodded and said nothing more. This Ji Wei was not simple either. She even knew about the secret prison in the palace.

He was wrong. Why did he think that Ji Wei, an unpopular princess of Ji State, was weak and helpless, and could be favored at will?

Perhaps it was because he had a quarrel with Li'er at that time, and in a fit of rage, he impulsively favored someone else and did not think that the identity of the Princess of Ji was worthy of his vigilance, or at a certain moment, he felt that Concubine Ji was knowledgeable and interesting, and that she was somewhat in line with his temperament.

Anyway, in the final analysis, Liang Sheng understood that he had underestimated women. He was indulging in a moment of pleasure and wondered how he, as an emperor, could be controlled by Cui Li. He wanted to take this opportunity to forget Cui Li, who always irritated him.

He ignored the discussions in the court and brought Cui Li into the palace. However, he did not feel touched by Cui Li, but instead received her confusion and grievance.

But Liang Sheng was also angry that Cui Li actually wanted to marry someone else, and blamed him for forcing her into the palace against her will.

The gap between the two widened. He once thought that Cui Li, who was in a cold war with him, was so willful and did not really love him.

But now Liang Sheng understands that if you really love someone, how can you be indifferent to your husband's favoritism towards others?

Liang Sheng looked at Cui Li beside him with mixed emotions. It was hard for him to deny his previous behavior of favoring the new and abandoning the old.

Back at Chengqian Palace, Liang Sheng suddenly said to Cui Li, "Li'er, would you mind calling me 'Sheng Lang'?"

Cui Li didn't know what Liang Sheng was thinking, but she still called out softly, "Sheng Lang."

Liang Sheng avoided Cui Li's protruding belly and held her carefully.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, I was the one who broke your heart before. How about I make you the queen?"

Cui Li slightly broke away from Liang Sheng's embrace and shook her head to refuse.

Cui Li: "It's just an empty title. Li'er doesn't care anymore."

A belated compensation is still too late after all.

Liang Sheng: "But I care about you. I want you to be my wife. Ji Shi, she is not the wife I want. The Ji family planned to make her the empress, and I don't want her to continue to be the empress."

Cui Li shook his head again.

Cui Li: "Sheng Lang, you know it well. The person who married you wearing the phoenix crown and bridal robe was not me. Queen Ji was unaware of her mother's scheme. Now she has handed the phoenix seal to her aunt and has been staying in Kunning Palace. You don't need to hurt her anymore. And I will not be happy just because I was granted the title of Queen."

Cui Li sometimes wondered, did the late emperor really choose Ji Shilan because of the so-called "Phoenix Fate"?

Not necessarily. Maybe he couldn't bear to see his son so deeply in love with a woman, or maybe he wanted to weaken the power of the Cui family, or maybe he needed the Ji family to fight on the battlefield. Who knows?

Liang Sheng wanted to continue persuading her, but in the end, seeing Cui Li's resolute look, he did not mention the matter again.

He held the person in his arms, but felt a little dazed, as if Cui Li would leave him.
