Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Emperor Yong Le stopped talking.
After a while, Emperor Yong Le called out, “Qing Zhen.”
Empress Xiande nodded and was suddenly stunned. She turned to look at Emperor Yong Le. Qing Zhen was her childhood name, but she had not heard anyone call her that for a long time.
Emperor Yong Le did not look at her. Instead, he focused on the half of the incense burning in the burner on the table and said, “Do you regret it?” Empress Qing Zhen smiled. “I’ve never regretted it.”
“After I die, follow Jingxing. If you meet a good person, remarry.” Emperor Yong Le said, “Change your name and identity. You are a good person and will live a good life.”
When Empress Xiande heard this, there were tears in her eyes. She forced the tears down and looked at Emperor Yong Le. “In Your Majesty’s eyes, am I that undevoted?” She seemed to have thought of something and smiled sadly. “Perhaps, in your eyes, I’ve never been important.” With that, she stood up and said to Emperor Yong Le, “I understand. I’ll do as Your Majesty instructed.” Then she left.
Seeing this, Nanny Tao wanted to persuade her, but in the end, she did not.
Empress Xiande had a good personality and was rarely angry. After living with Emperor Yong Le for so many years, she had never lost her temper with him. This was the first time she lost her temper.
Emperor Yong Le looked at the burning incense. Half of the incense had turned to ashes, and the fragrance in the air would dissipate one day.
Just like human memories and emotions.
Ye Mei had been dressing up in the room for a long time.
She was beautiful to begin with. Ever since she arrived at the Ye family, she had been eating well and had become more and more beautiful, but for some reason, she did not look as rosy as before. Instead, she looked tired.
Today, she spent a long time choosing a peach-pink dress with peach blossoms embroidered on it. After dressing up carefully, she looked like a peerless beauty.
When she walked out of the door, she happened to meet Ye Ke. Ye Ke looked at her in surprise and asked, “Sister, where are you going?”
“I’m going to Miss Sun’s house for tea,” Ye Mei said with a smile.
Ye Ke did not suspect anything. Anyway, there were guards of the Ye family following her. Ye Mei brought the guards out. She put on the veil and indeed went to Miss Sun’s mansion. Although the Su family was not a big family, they were not ordinary people either.
Ye Mei entered the Sun mansion and was led to a small room. When she entered the small room, she saw Jin Xinming, who had been waiting for a long time. When Jin Xinming saw Ye Mei, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said in a daze, “Mei, you’re really getting more and more beautiful.”
The more disgusted Ye Mei was, the sweeter the smile on her face. She said aggrievedly, “It wasn’t easy for me to go out today. I almost thought I wouldn’t be able to see you.”
“If not for the fact that Brother Sun and I are old friends, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy to meet you in the name of her sister.” Jin Xinming sighed.
Ye Mei smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Brother Sun today.”
She had a sweet mouth and a beautiful face, making Jin Xinming wild with joy.
Just as he was happy, he suddenly heard Ye Mei say, “Brother Jin, when will you take me away from the Ye family? I really don’t want to stay in the Ye family for a moment longer.”
Jin Xinming said, “We have to plan it carefully. After all, the Ye family is not a small family. We have to think of a foolproof plan.”
Ye Mei sneered in her heart. There was no such thing as a foolproof plan in the world. It was probably because he had investigated the Ye family in private and knew about Ye Maocai’s power that he thought better of it.
She looked up and said pitifully, “I don’t want anything. I don’t want the wealth of the Ye family either. I just want to live a happy life with Brother Jin…’
Not many men could resist such sweet words, especially when they came out of the mouth of a drop-dead gorgeous. Her eyes were watery, and her voice was soft. Every move she made was seductive. Jin Xinming felt his throat go dry. He saw Ye Mei lick her lips with a pitiful look.
He couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t continue to hold it in. He held Ye Mei’s hand and said impulsively, “For you, I’m not afraid of anything.” Without warning, he hugged Ye Mei tightly, saying, “Mei, if you become my woman, I’ll definitely save you as soon as possible.”
Ye Mei wanted to vomit. Her mind was racing. The next moment, her hands were like snakes as they wrapped around Jin Xinming’s neck. She whispered into his ear, “Sure..”
