Chapter 296 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Part 45)

As soon as he heard that the queen mother had arrived at Chengqian Palace, Liang Sheng didn't even get on the dragon sedan chair, but rushed here in a hurry with Le Chang. Fortunately, they caught up.

If Li'er knew, they were forced to separate due to the intervention of the previous emperor long before he ascended the throne.

Now there are the Queen, Concubine Xu, the Ji sisters and other concubines between them. Will their lives return to the silent days of the past? Will he be able to stand alone at the gate of Chengqian Palace, facing her through the door, as before?

They should have gone their separate ways, but he insisted on forcing the marriage.

Liang Sheng was also in agony. Why was he the emperor? Why couldn't the emperor marry just one person? Why did his father only care about preventing the Cui family's prestige and power from continuing to grow, and only consider the Ji family's prestige and strength in the army, and not consider his personal happiness?

It is obvious that the emperor loves the queen mother the most, so why is he unwilling to help him and Cui Li get together?

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps his love for Cui Li was not pure.

When he was young, he gave Cui Li all his vows and sweet words, but when he really became an emperor and wanted to expand the territory and protect the people of Daliang, he found that many things were beyond his control.

The vow they made under the peach tree to be together forever was broken by him.

The women around him came one after another, but he was still not satisfied. He wanted to pick the bright moon in his heart and keep her by his side.

He broke his promise and selfishly wanted to keep his beloved by his side, unwilling to let her live a normal life.

Perhaps an emperor like him has too strong a possessiveness and would not be willing to let go of someone no matter how much he loves them, even if that person also loves Cui Li and can even promise her "to be together for life".

Furthermore, although Liang Sheng loved Cui Li, he was a rational emperor. It was impossible for him to expel all the concubines from the Liang Palace for Cui Li and leave only Cui Li. It would be okay for others, but the existence of Queen Ji reminded him all the time that there was someone else standing between him and Cui Li.

In the mind of Emperor Liang Sheng, the queen who should stand shoulder to shoulder with him should be Cui Li.

But whether Liang Sheng was willing or not, his wife was Ji Shilan. As the queen, Ji Shilan had made some mistakes in the past, but they were only minor mistakes and not to the point of being deposed. He could not depose Queen Ji for no reason.

It was impossible for him to let the Ji family sacrifice their lives on the frontier and guard the country for him, and he later banished the daughter of the Ji family to the cold palace.

But sometimes, Liang Sheng hated his rationality. The only time he was irrational was probably when he ignored Cui Li's wishes and did not allow her to get married. He also used the Cui family as a threat and forced Cui Li to enter the palace.

Liang Sheng was filled with guilt and uneasiness, and his handsome face was tinged with sorrow.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, once people have something, they are afraid of losing it. Brother Sheng is a selfish person. I am worried that after you know something, you will be angry with me and ignore me, which will make Brother Sheng sad. But I, Liang Sheng, can promise that you are the one I love the most, and I will never hurt you!"

Cui Li sighed and tried to smooth Liang Sheng's frown.

Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, it's better to open up than to block. Why do you have to hide it? One day, I will know the truth. I am curious about what you are hiding. The relationship between us is deep, can't it withstand the test?"

Liang Sheng was silent for a moment, and seeing the pleading look in Li'er's eyes, he finally made a promise.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, the Wanshou Festival is coming in a few days. After the festival, your pregnancy will be three months old. Then I will slowly tell you the truth."

Cui Li: "Okay."

Seeing his expression of fear of being abandoned by her was really rare, she didn't force him.
