QT: TPE Chapter 33.2

“Gui Fei is very powerful, in charge of palace affairs, and is also the birth mother of the Princess. I dared not tell Your Majesty. I was also afraid that if I did not fight back, there would be a second and a third time… I did not want to live in fear forever. Now that I have fought back, I regret it. This is the first time I have done something like this.”

After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, she burst into tears: “Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please don’t despise me.”

The look in her eyes as she looked at him was full of unease and fear, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its master, pitiful yet adorable.

The Emperor was too fond of her to possibly dislike her.

“Don’t be afraid, I will not despise you. My beloved consort did the right thing in this matter. It was Gui Fei who was vicious first. Since she had such a wicked idea, she should be prepared to be retaliated against.”

“She used to be domineering in the palace and caused the deaths of many concubines. If you don’t take action this time, she will only become more ruthless next time. I am very pleased that you can protect yourself. This way, I don’t have to worry about you when I am not in the harem.”

Xu Lingyi looked up in disbelief. She was still sobbing, and crystal-clear tears fell on her fair face.

“Your Majesty, you…you don’t blame me?”

The Emperor nodded: “I also want to praise you. You did very well.”

Xu Lingyi was stunned, and then she realized what was happening and burst into tears in the Emperor’s arms.

“Why are you still crying? Don’t be afraid, I won’t hate my beloved concubine.”

“Your Majesty is too good to me.” Xu Lingyi sniffed, her voice thick with nasal congestion.

“I’ve been terrified all day, afraid that Your Majesty will never speak to me again. That would be worse than death.”

“After this uneasy experience, I assure Your Majesty that I will never do such a thing again, and I will never intentionally harm anyone, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor felt both pity and affection for her. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: She’s still just a young girl, so kind-hearted, yet she’s so anxious just by striking back.

“I believe you.” The Emperor reached out and wiped away her tears.

“This incident was not your fault. You don’t need to take it to heart. I am very happy that you can tell me and trust me. In the future, if my beloved consort discovers that someone wants to harm you, you can tell me immediately. I will protect you, even if that person is a Gui Fei or the birth mother of a princess. I will stand by your side.”

Xu Lingyi nodded emphatically, pretending to be too moved to speak, as if she would be willing to give her heart to this man at this moment.

Xu Lingyi felt that after entering the palace, her acting skills had reached a level of perfection. When she was facing the Emperor, she was always acting.

Perhaps at this moment, in the Emperor’s heart, he had completely won her heart.

“Thank you… Thank you, Your Majesty.” Xu Lingyi cried, tears streaming down her face.

“Your Majesty is so good to me.”

The Emperor was both amused and exasperated.

At this moment, the imperial physicians also arrived.

“All of you come forward quickly and take De Fei’s pulse to see what’s wrong.”
