Chapter 705: Her love and affection were all fake
Lixuan Pavilion.
Naturally, Liu Shiqing also learned about the recent events in the harem from Cuizhu.
"Haha-hahaha-"
She laughed out loud in her bedroom, her head tilted back, and she hadn't felt so happy in a long time.
"I've said it before, Your Majesty seems to be affectionate, but in fact he is heartless. How could he possibly love a woman for a long time?"
"Look, the woman that King Jin presented as tribute has captured his attention not long after entering the palace."
"That bitch Shen Zhinian has come to this day? I have said it before, my today is her tomorrow."
"I just hate that I'm stuck here and can't get out. I can't see Shen Zhinian fall from grace with my own eyes!"
At the end of his speech, Liu Shiqing's eyes were filled with resentment.
Cuizhu listened to her talking to herself, lowered her head and sighed deeply in her heart.
There are many people in the palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. If an ordinary concubine falls out of favor, her life will indeed be worse than that of a servant who only cares about her appearance.
But Imperial Concubine Chen is now the head of the harem. Even if His Majesty temporarily ignores her, no one in the palace dares to disrespect her, let alone treat her harshly.
It's too early for the master to be happy...
Of course, looking at Liu Shiqing's crazy expression, Cuizhu didn't dare to say these words out loud.
Liu Shiqing laughed and laughed, and the once passionate love for Nangong Xuanyu in his heart suddenly turned into hatred.
Hate his coldness!
Hate him for being ruthless!
Hate his cruelty!
He treated her like this and Shen Zhinian like this. That man has no heart at all!
While Liu Shiqing mocked Shen Zhinian, he also deeply hated Nangong Xuanyu...
At this moment, Li Changde's voice suddenly came from outside: "His Majesty has arrived--!!!"
The smile on Liu Shiqing's face suddenly stopped and he was completely stunned.
Not to mention her, even Cuizhu suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Who in the palace doesn't know that Your Majesty dislikes and hates the master?
He imprisoned his master here and did not allow him to take a single step out. How come he suddenly came to Lixuan Pavilion?
Before the two of them could figure it out, Nangong Xuanyu's tall figure strode in from outside.
Cuizhu was the first to react and knelt down to pay her respects: "Your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
Liu Shiqing looked at Nangong Xuanyu, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his expression was still a little dazed.
This face was obviously very familiar to her, but she felt it was so strange...
At this moment, looking at Nangong Xuanyu's handsome face, Liu Shiqing no longer had the previous love and excitement in his heart, but only endless hatred!
She didn't want Shen Zhinian to have an easy time, and she also wanted to see Nangong Xuanyu suffer!
It’s a pity…she can’t do anything now.
Seeing that Liu Shiqing was still standing there, Cuizhu quickly pulled at the corner of her clothes and reminded her, "Master, quickly salute!"
Liu Shiqing gradually came back to his senses and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to His Majesty."
She was now just an official's daughter, not even a proper mistress, so naturally she could no longer call herself "minister and concubine" or "concubine".
When Nangong Xuanyu looked at Liu Shiqing, he also felt as if he was in another world.
I never thought that the bright, generous and dazzling woman would become like this now.
But when he looked at Liu Shiqing at this moment, there was no longer any ripple in his heart.
He came here today just to know an answer...
Nangong Xuanyu strode to the main seat and sat down, saying in a calm voice: "Stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand, signaling Li Changde and Cuizhu to go down.
In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the inner room, but they felt like they were speechless.
No matter what their feelings for each other have become now.
Thinking back to the time when we were together, we were full of laughter and endless conversation. Now looking at each other in silence, we can't help but sigh...
Liu Shiqing had already recognized the facts.
She fell from the position of imperial concubine to a court lady. Both her aunt and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion gave up on her, and the emperor's heart was no longer with her.
Even if she tried her best, it would be difficult to restore her former glory.
She wanted Cuizhu to have sex with Xiao Fangzi just to find an opportunity to take revenge on Shen Zhinian!
Precisely because he no longer loves the emperor and knows that there is no hope of regaining his favor, Liu Shiqing actually feels that he is strong because he has no desires.
When talking to Nangong Xuanyu, he was no longer as cautious as before.
She looked up at the emperor's gloomy face and asked first, "Your Majesty, why did you want to come to Lixuan Pavilion today?"
Because he had seen Liu Shiqing's passionate love for him, so looking at her current appearance and attitude towards him, the emperor could tell at a glance that this woman no longer loved him.
He didn't feel much in his heart, but just frowned, worried that he wouldn't be able to get an answer to what he wanted to know.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Liu Shiqing and asked slowly: "...I want to know, I once gave you a status and honor that no one else could match, and gave you everything you wanted."
"Why do you find it so hard to tolerate them and keep making things difficult for them when I only occasionally give some of my attention to others?"
It has been so long since Liu Shiqing hired someone to assassinate Shen Zhinian, and this is the first time the two have met.
Liu Shiqing had always thought that they would never meet again until her death.
Unexpectedly, this day would come so soon, and Nangong Xuanyu asked her such a question.
At this moment, Liu Shiqing's heart was filled with confusion and ridicule!
Times have changed and her feelings for him are no longer there. Is there any point in him asking these questions now?
Perhaps it’s because the deep love and grievances I once felt have been suppressed in my heart for too long.
Or perhaps it was because Liu Shiqing had already understood that it was impossible for him to, and did not want to, get anything from Nangong Xuanyu.
At this time, she spoke to Nangong Xuanyu without any reservations.
She suddenly laughed, with a strong sense of self-mockery in her smile: "Your Majesty, don't you understand that men and women are all petty and jealous when it comes to feelings?"
"If Your Majesty loves a woman, and sees her being intimate with others, can Your Majesty accept it? I'm afraid you would have been furious and killed the other person's entire clan!"
Nangong Xuanyu frowned: "How can this be the same?"
"I am an emperor. It is only natural for an emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards."
Liu Shiqing raised his hand and wiped away the tears in his eyes: "Yes, you are His Majesty, you have three palaces and six courtyards. But do you really think that there are so many women in the harem who love you, and you don't have any emotions?"
"When a woman truly loves a man, how can she watch him favor someone else and remain indifferent?"
"Unless...her admiration and affection are all fake, and she doesn't care about you at all!"
