The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 317 Feelings Cannot Be Forced
Oi! I am an article!
“When will the Empress rest?” She knew the Empress had a problem, but Lu’er could not even say it. Yes, it is already this late and the Empress is not sleeping, it is definitely awaiting the arrival of the Emperor.
However, after waiting 3 days, the Emperor still did not come, today should also not come.
Oi! I am an article!
Qin Ruojiu did not reply, only turning around and staring at the scene outside the window while daydreaming.
In the distance, there was a dim light of lights, flowers and trees faintly swaying. But the figure of the person who should have come was still not coming either.
“I... I'm not sleepy, I still want to see the moonlight!” Qin Ruojiu smiled in disappointment, that lonely tone of speech made others feel pity.
Lu’er shook his head and said: “Empress, it is better to just sleep. The Empress did not sleep well these few days. If really... or not, Lu’er will go to invite the Emperor here, how?”
Oi! I am an article!
“No need!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Qin Ruojiu interrupted him immediately. Speaking of the Emperor, Qin Ruojiu felt a pain in his heart. Qin Ruojiu admits that she is in love with the Emperor, but that does not mean that the Emperor can be at ease with her feelings. Qin Ruojiu was unwilling to admit defeat, Qin Ruojiu was not willing to become the shadow of others. Even if he lives a lonely life like this, he also does not want to be a substitute for others!
Seeing the stubbornness and determination on Qin Ruojiu's face, Lu’er could only let out a long sigh in his heart. The empress has always been like this, and she will never bow her head. There must actually be a Empress in the Emperor's heart, and if the Empress was willing to lower her identity, then the Emperor would definitely return to his side. But the Empress was not willing like that.
“Empress, actually why did the Empress do all this? Even if there was someone in the Emperor's heart, but here, the Empress was still the most important person in the Emperor's heart. Right now, the Empress is in a cold war with the Emperor, it not only does not benefit the Empress, but it benefits others!” Although Lu’er did not say clearly, but many of the Palace's servants saw the Emperor go to Qingyi Palace in the past few days.
“Empress, you cannot ..”
“Lu’er, don't talk about it anymore, the feeling can't be forced. Yes, I did fall in love with her, and all my life I could only love her, but she could instead fall in love with people all over the world. I can only say that I am just an ordinary woman, I am not qualified to fight and snatch my love. But I can choose to release.”
“Empress, you..” Lu’er looked at Qin Ruojiu sadly, his eyes were already slightly reddened. Is the Empress really going to do that? Why did the Queen do that?
“Already, don't talk about it anymore, go to rest. I'll also rest!” Qin Ruojiu turned around, gently wiping away the tears that re-filled her eyes, as if she had already rounded her resolve inwardly.
Yes, Qin Ruojiu had already said to herself from childhood, even though she was a Queen, she still had to love him wholeheartedly. This kind of shameful love, even if he died from heartache, Qin Ruojiu would not force herself either.
Loving someone is happiness that comes from the heart, if what is brought is pain, then he can only let go.
Seeing the Empress turn her back, seeing the thin body of the Empress curled up in bed, the moonlight exposed above the Empress' body, looking so fragile as to have no strength and life. Lu’er's tears instantly flowed.
The Empress tortured herself like this, she was also torturing the Emperor, why would she do this?
Sighing softly, Lu’er knew he could no longer persuade, could only walk to Qin Ruojiu's side quietly and put a silk blanket on him.
“Enjoy, sleep early, tomorrow Lu’er will come to see you again!”
Lu’er finished the sentence in a slow voice, in the end he stood helplessly, glancing at the Empress who was pretending to be asleep then finally stepped away with a slow step.
