Chapter 319: Burning Clouds
Qin Liuse just looked at Emperor Yongjia, with a pitiful look as if he was waiting to be punished.
After hearing this, Emperor Yongjia's eyes turned cold. He squinted at her for a moment, then asked, "What you said is true."
Qin Liuse was so panicked at this moment that her eyes even started to feel hot.
She looked at Emperor Yongjia and said, "Your Majesty. I have never lied to Your Majesty, except for this matter."
"I know this matter is of great importance and has implicated many people. I really don't know how to explain it to the emperor, so I have delayed it until today."
"But what I said today is absolutely true. Not a single word is false! If Your Majesty has any doubts, you can send someone to my hometown to check if what I said is false."
Qin Liuse's heart was still beating like a drum. She looked at Emperor Yongjia with a pleading look on her face, not knowing how he would blame her.
"Are you afraid that I will blame you for cooperating with me today?" Emperor Yongjia's eyes fell on her face and he asked her expressionlessly.
Although Emperor Yongjia did not blame her, this one sentence made Qin Liuse's face as red as the sunset clouds outside. She felt so ashamed.
She looked away awkwardly, touched her messy hair, and said, "I don't have any."
Although she said so, her actions betrayed her true thoughts.
Emperor Yongjia looked at her coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Liuse felt a burning pain on her face, but there was nothing she could do so she could only wait and see what he would do.
All I can say is that it was fortunate that it was not in the palace. In the palace, there were other people around. Now, there were only the two of them here. Even if Emperor Yongjia was angry, he would not ignore her.
"My harem has been completely schemed by that old fellow." The cold sarcasm in Emperor Yongjia's words was not polite at all.
Qin Liuse heard the implication in these words and asked in surprise, "The emperor doesn't like Qin Shaoqing?"
Emperor Yongjia sneered, "I know my ministers well. How good can a man be who can send two daughters to the palace?"
Qin Liuse was almost unable to raise her head because of his every word, because she, Qin Boyuan and Qin Huaijin had been hiding the secret from Emperor Yongjia before. Weren't they in the same group?
So Qin Liuse felt guilty for a moment and automatically took it personally. He felt that Emperor Yongjia was not only talking about Qin Boyuan, but also about himself.
"I know that it is a little late for me to confess to His Majesty now. However, if I had told His Majesty at the beginning, I don't know if His Majesty would have immediately sent me to the cold palace for deceiving the emperor."
"I am really scared and unsure. I did not intentionally hide it from Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't take away my two children..."
Qin Liuse confessed this matter to Emperor Yongjia today. He was originally in a risky mentality and wanted to gamble that he should have some position in Emperor Yongjia's heart.
Perhaps looking at Emperor Yongjia's reaction now, he seemed to have overestimated himself.
Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse's face, which had changed from red just now to a little pale now, and her eyes had also changed from red just now to now filled with tears.
As he spoke, the tip of his nose turned red and tears began to fall from his eyes.
Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse, whose face was covered in tears, picked up the small wooden ladle and scooped a spoonful of water into the tea strainer, and said, "I haven't said anything yet, but you're crying first."
Qin Liuse's heart was already in a mess, and she didn't know what Emperor Yongjia meant by this.
Was he teasing her, blaming her, or was he really not blaming himself as much as he thought?
Qin Liuse couldn't describe his feelings at this moment, he could only say that it was a mixture of various emotions.
There were fear, hope, emotion, guilt, expectation, relief...all these feelings made her unable to judge the Emperor Yongjia's happiness or anger for a moment.
But if she stops there, it is not her character.
Anyway, if I stick my head out, I'll get a knife. If I hide my head, I'll get a knife too. She mustered up her courage and asked again, "Your Majesty, now that I am yours and I've given birth to two children for you, I will be yours for the rest of my life and even if I die, I'll be your ghost."
As Qin Liuse spoke, tears were streaming down her face, and her tone was full of emotion, "It's just that those past events are hard for me to control, and I can't change them. I was young before, and I didn't know or understand so many things, but I only hope that this time, the emperor can forgive me and give me a chance."
"From now on, I will think of Your Majesty wholeheartedly, remember Your Majesty, and only listen to Your Majesty and work for Your Majesty."
Qin Liuse's words seemed to be speaking for himself. As he spoke, he thought of Qin Boyuan's family and hurried to confess the truth to Emperor Yongjia.
"Your Majesty, I am actually from the same family as Qin Shaoqing, so I am known as their daughter, but I am not familiar with them."
Qin Liuse's face flushed as she spoke, and even the corners of her eyes were red. "I said that I would only listen to the emperor from now on. I didn't mean to deceive the emperor. Since I came to Beijing, except for the first two months, I learned some palace etiquette in the Qin Mansion. Later, I entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion and was selected as a concubine. I felt that I didn't interact with Qin Shaoqing's family enough."
"After entering the palace, let alone. When Qin Shaoqing and Qin Yunu write letters home, they will not write to me. In fact... in fact, I have always been the emperor's person."
To put it bluntly, Qin Liuse's last words could be said to be a bit shameless.
She never thought she would be so shameless, but if she didn't say it now, when would she say it?
If she doesn't seize this opportunity today, if she fails, her Zhaoyang Palace will become an ice cellar when she returns to the palace.
After saying this, Qin Liuse opened her tearful eyes and looked at Emperor Yongjia.
All the scheming and plotting were obviously of no use at this moment. All she could gamble on was whether she could still have a position in Emperor Yongjia's heart.
Qin Liuse always felt that there should be one. After all, as far as she knew, this was the first time that Emperor Yongjia brought his concubines on a secret visit.
In her previous life, during the time she was in the harem, she had never seen Emperor Yongjia bring a concubine out like this.
At that time, Emperor Yongjia's living place was always between the Imperial Study and Chengqian Palace.
As the days went by, Qin Liuse even thought that he was an emperor without any emotions, who only cared about having children and handling state affairs.
But the situation this time was really serious. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor. Moreover, looking at the cold face of Emperor Yongjia, Qin Liuse always felt very uneasy.
