To be a Virtuous Wife

Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen "I Am Yours"

"The only thing that zhen is extremely worried about is that the Empress, originally a virtuous person, has been falsely accused by people with malicious aims," He Heng sighed, "Daren must all thoroughly and diligently find out the mastermind behind the scenes to restore justice for aiqing and the Empress."

"Emperor, please don't worry, chen will thoroughly investigate this matter," Commander Sun bowed as he responded, "By now, many people in Jing have already noticed the malicious aims of the villain in the shadows. Not many people still believe the rumors. The virtuousness and kindness of the Empress will not be stained by others."

Luo Chang Qing raised an eyebrow at Commander Sun. Who said that soldiers had no brains? Look how well this one flattered. He raised his head to peek at the Emperor and, as expected, saw that the Emperor's smile had grown wider. He went forward a step, interjecting: "By now, many people in Jing are suspicious of the princess of Jing, Duo Han and ...... the wang ye. Wei chen thinks due to how generous Emperor has been to the wang ye, they wouldn't have done such distasteful things."

Luo Chang Qing dared to say this because, one, the rumors were not beneficial to the solidarity of the Imperial House, and two, because his granddaughter was married to Cheng Wang. But no matter what, his suggestion wasn't wrong.

He Heng nodded, agreeing: "Zhen's brothers are all honest people, zhen believes that they aren't that kind of people."

Not long after the daren left the Imperial Study, many of the people in Jing knew of the words the Emperor had said and were deeply moved by the depth of friendship with which the Emperor treated the wang ye. They also felt if the wang ye weren't loyal to the Emperor, then they were really cruel and unscrupulous people.

In Cheng Wang Fu, He Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finished hearing the servant's report. He walked into the room of the wang fei who was in her confinement period. Seeing that she was holding their child, he smiled and asked: "Is Wang'er still asleep?"

Luo Wen Yao saw him coming in with a smile and gave the child to his nursemaid, "Did something good happen?"

He Ming faithfully narrated the events and sighed at the end: "Emperor and Empress treat us so well, but I am limited in what I can do for Emperor."

"Wang ye and the Emperor are blood brothers. Feelings cannot be calculated like this," Luo Wen Yao urged, "A few days ago, Mu Jin, one of the Empress' attendants, had specially come to visit qie, and told me a lot of things. Is this because the Empress expects qie to pay her back for all of this?"

"I had thought too narrow-mindedly," He Ming went forward to hug her, not caring about the unclean state she was in due to her confinement. He said ruefully, "With Yao Yao here, I don't feel sad at all."

Luo Wen Yao laughed quietly, the happiness on her face clear for all to see. She had the fidelity of her husband and a son, what reason did she have to not be happy?

In the rear hall of Tian Qi Palace, Qu Qing Ju took down her hairpins and jewelry. Rubbing her shoulders, she said: "The days are getting colder."

Jin Zhan and Yu Zan sorted the hairpins and jewelry to be placed away in their boxes. Mu Jin used a rhinoceros horn comb to brush Qu Qing Ju's hair. Hearing that, she replied: "It's already deep autumn, the weather always changes quickly now."

"That's so true, winter is almost here," Qu Qing Ju curled her lips, "I heard that the winters of the country of Jing are especially harsh. Once it enters the winter months, it's all wrapped in silver silk, I wonder what it looks like."

"The country of Jing is a poor place. When it's winter, the people don't have good days," Mu Jing's hands were brushing her hair at a perfect pace. She smiled, saying, "Nubi doesn't know much, but feels if the people of the country of Jing saw the prosperity of our Da Long, they wouldn't want to leave."

"Really?" Qu Qing Ju took off the jade bangle on her wrist and suddenly smiled, declaring, "Not willing to leave, then they should stay here."

Mu Jin's hands stilled. She didn't know what the Empress meant. Hesitating, she asked: "Whys hould such people stay here, wouldn't it make more trouble for others?"

"Peaceful days will make people forget the beauty of the past," Qu Qing Ju smiled, "Remaining doesn't have to be a good thing. You have to know that the prosperity of others doesn't have to be yours. You dare to scheme against others, then you have to know that others will scheme back."

When He Heng arrived at the rear hall, Qu Qing Ju had already changed into her sleep robes and was leaning on the bed as she read. He furrowed his brows, going forward to reproach: "Reading so late, it'll harm the eyes."

Qu Qing Ju closed the book in her hands. She smiled, answering: "Just bored, waiting for you to come back to sleep."

Just those words were enough to make He Heng's heart move. He took off his own clothing and made a feast of the beauty.

Afterward, the two of them lay in satisfaction on the bed, Qu Qing Ju on He Heng's chest, "I saw that your mood hasn't been well these few days. Is it because of those words outside the palace? It's just rumors. When the people get bored, they won't pass it on anymore. It's not worth it to be affected by those things."

"For whom am I getting angry on behalf of?" He Heng smiled helplessly, "The rumors are targeted towards you. I can't not be angry."

"These people are targeting me, that means that they hate me inside," Qu Qing Ju smiled, replying, "Only daring to attack from the back, it means that there are many things these people have to consider. Why should I care for such people?"

"Well, look how clearly you think," He Heng smiled. Then suddenly his tone turned cold, "I have already found the people in the shadows."

Qu Qing Ju stared with wide eyes at him, looking curious, "Who are they?"

"The Qin Family and the princess from Jing," He Heng sneered, "That these people from two sides can work together, they really have skill."

Qu Qing Ju stared blankly and then hummed: "I just knew that Dai Rong Princess is interested in you. To do such things for you, she really is in love."

"In love after just one meeting?" He Heng gathered her in his arms, "Don't accuse me wrongly. What she's in love with is my position, not me. I'm innocent."

The tips of Qu Qing Ju's feet stroked on the front of his feet: "Regardless, this Dai Rong Princess is interested in you. But why is the Qin Family meddling in this matter?"

He Heng sighed helplessly: "Did you forget that the Qin Family wanted to send someone into the hougong?"

Qu Qing Ju displayed an expression of realization. A beat later, she teased: "If you were just a wang ye, there wouldn't be this many women looking at you."

Even though he was happy at the possessiveness his woman had towards him, the words just didn't seem right. Was it only his position that attracted others?

"No, that's not right. Even if you are a wang ye, there would be many women looking at you," Qu Qing Ju's brow furrowed as she mused, "Really want to lock you up, and not let anybody else see you."

This complaint made He Heng's heart beat faster. He flipped to push her under him, gently kissing Qu Qing Ju's ear: "I, originally, am yours."

Qu Qing Ju's eyes stared at his. Seeing his two eyes filled with emotion, she reached around his neck.

"En, you are mine."
