The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 70 She Doesn't Want To Be Empress Again
Looking at Qin Ruojiu who looked confused and did not speak, Lu’Er felt worried and immediately asked, “Empress, is anyone sick? Don't just shut up like this, Lu’Er is afraid.” To Lu’er, the sleeping Qin Ruojiu was terrifying. He looked pale white and weakly helpless, he did not move at all, did not blink his eyes and did not speak at all. Everyone who saw it was worried.
Seeing the worried Lu’Er, Qin Ruojiu shook her head and smiled, “Lu’Er, I'm fine, you can get out!”
“But Empress ...”
“There is still any problem what else?” Seeing Lu’Er unwilling to leave him, Qin Ruojiu un asked and looked towards him.
Lu’Er was helpless and said, “Yang Mulia the State Counsel came, he said he wanted to visit you.”
“Country Advisor?” Qin Ruojiu was shocked and both eyes showed a puzzled look.
Lu’Er said softly, “Since the Empress came out of the holding cell, the Emperor felt guilty and owed the Empress a lot, he then gave the title of State Counsel to Ji Mie!”
“He ... it turned out that way ..” Qin Ruojiu's father, Ji Mei, became State Counselor, State Counselor Kangqing. From the outside, this nickname sounds so grand and great, but actually only Qin Ruojiu knows that all of this is just a false lie.
“True, Empress, now that you're awake, how about ...”
“Quickly ... quickly send him in!” Ever since he entered the palace, he had never met his father again. Every time he met her in a dream.
When she was a child, if she could not sleep well, she could always feel a warm hand that calmed her down. After feeling that hand, he would become calm and instantly grin that hand tightly, reluctantly letting go then deliriously in his dream, “Warm!” Because it was his father's warm and affectionate hand.
When Ji Mie entered, Qin Ruojiu put on a blanket and covered her shoulders. Qin Ruojiu's eyes looked so limp and helpless.
Seeing her daughter suffering from half death like that, Ji Mie felt a pain in her heart.
“Jiu’Er, Jiu’Er .. You why? Tell dad, no pain?”
Looking at his father's gaze that was so sad and warm, Qin Ruojiu could barely bear and shed her tears. But he tried to hold back his tears then bit his lips and shook his head, “Not... don't hurt dad.”
Ji Mie directly walked up to him and directly pulled him into his arms like the hug he always gave Qin Ruojiu when he was a child, then patted his shoulder and said, “Father that caused you to suffer like this, the Emperor already said all that to father.”
“Dad, Jiu’Er does not want to be Empress again. Jiu’Er wants to leave this place and live together with dad.” Qin Ruojiu used to say this sentence, but she knew none of this was possible.
But now that all this had happened and now that his father was in front of him, the feeling of wanting to escape from the palace had appeared again inside his head.
Ji Mie's face looked dark and sad to see her crying daughter in her arms. Ji Mie said softly, “Jiu’Er, listen tell dad, don't make a fuss again. The emperor has paid for all his mistakes, you must not leave here. You are Empress, Empress ...”
Seeing that his father also wanted him to stay in this cold palace and let the heartless man torment him, Qin Ruojiu was startled then broke away from his father's embrace and said sadly, Qin Ruojiu, “Not ... Jiu’Er does not want to be Empress .. Jiu’Er does not care.”
“Jiu’Er, you should know, not the father who forced you to become Empress. But this is all your destiny, you were born to be Empress Emperor Zhaolie. She herself chose to marry you!”
