Madam Li's Begging

Lu Zhen told Consort De bluntly that he was cold to her because he had hatred in his heart. He thought that he was abandoned, so even after they reunited, there was still a barrier between him and Consort De.

He could set aside the prejudice in his heart, but he could never be too enthusiastic.

He had already grown up and his personality had taken shape. He hoped that Consort De could understand this.

Consort De nodded.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, she would choose to leave the palace and live with her child. This way, she could slowly make up for the lost years.

Seeing that Consort De had agreed, Lu Zhen looked at her and said gently, "It's been hard on you all these years."

Consort De shook her head. "As long as you are safe, everything is worth it."

If she was more capable, she would not have sent him out of the palace to save his life. She would rather suffer herself than letting him suffer.
