The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 574 Why Not Let Go

Oi! I am an article!

“Whatever Suri wants to talk about, I'll hear it. As long as Ibu Suri is happy.” Ji Xingyun replied as she walked obediently towards him.

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Ji Xingyun's cold and handsome face. His face looks exactly the same as the first emperor 20 years ago. Suddenly the Queen Mother felt depressed and increasingly sad. He sighed lightly and did not know where to start.

Oi! I am an article!

When Ji Xingyun saw him wanting to talk but hesitating, her expression became sad and said gloomyly, “Mother Suri, what would you blame me for not handling Empress Qin's matter well? If he felt that the compensation I was giving was not enough, he said it straight away. Why is it constantly making the Queen Mother anxious?”

The Queen Mother looked at Ji Xingyun anxiously, knowing that this man had misunderstood Empress Qin again. Thinking that Ji Xingyun's grudge against Empress Qin had already gotten to a deeply rooted stage, indeed letting the woman go was the best choice.

“Emperor, if you are so unable to tolerate Empress Qin's existence, just let her go!”

This Empress Dowager's words were so loving and unwilling, making Ji Xingyun startled at first. After which, the black pupils in his cold eyes widened in disbelief. Finally she looked at the Queen Mother questioningly, “Go? Where is he going?”

Oi! I am an article!

“Exit from palace!”

“I don't understand what Suri meant.”

Ji Xingyun lowered her head, staring at the floor covered by the pure white carpet of the Western Persian territory. His deep, pitch-black eyes seemed to dodge and did not dare to believe it.

“Xingyun, I don't know on what basis you are so dislikeful of Empress Qin. But given your husband and wife's relationship over the past few years, it's best to give her a way to survive. Just let him out of the palace.”

“Mother Suri, even though her Cap and Crown of Phoenix were stolen, but she's still my queen. The title has not been revoked. How can I let him out of the palace?”

“She has an error..”

“Let's just say I beg you, don't make it difficult for him anymore. If this continues, the two of you will only hurt and suffer each other. Why not just let go?”

The hard-earned persuasion from the Queen Mother, was like a resounding word to Ji Xingyun. She stared blankly at the loving Queen Mother before her, as if the Queen Mother was a stranger she had never met.

Hurt each other? Equally suffering? Only the woman was tortured. But somehow, he himself also felt uncomfortable lately.

“What is this Queen Mother's request? Is it possible that he himself could not bear this title in the palace?” Ji Xingyun was shocked in her heart, but she sneered and asked on the surface. Because in her memory, that woman had always been a woman full of intrigue and ambition.

“That's his own wish. Looks like he's tired, wants to live a peaceful life outside the palace.”

“Cannot.”

“Why is it impossible?”

“Because I understand him so much. He's a man so crazy of treasure and honor. Power and position are everything for him.”

“If he really was such a person, wouldn't releasing him outside the palace be the biggest blow for him? It was also the best way for the emperor to assuage hatred.”

Hearing the Suri Mother's sensible remark, Ji Xingyun suddenly realized that she didn't know what else to say. He stared at the clouds floating outside the edge of the window, suddenly recalling the figure of the woman who was fresh and clean, her face covered with thin gauze, and the, his brows resembled paintings and a pair of mysterious black eye pupils that teased and made people fall into them.

Ji Xingyun hated him and was angry at him, but why did so mention having to take him out of the palace, she became so doubtful and indecisive?

This smart Queen Mother had been in the palace for so many years, she had learned a good skill in observing people. Seeing Ji Xingyun's confusion, she couldn't help but cover her lips with a silk handkerchief and said, “Emperor, talk at length turns out she means so much to your heart. You feel unwilling, right? If you are not willing, as long as you nod your head, buy him some things that are worthy of him and do not allow himself to be persecuted, coupled with my persuasion. Once he's gone, he'll approve everything. In addition, former Empress Qin could also lay down her life for you.”
