Chapter 219 Finale 1
one year later.
Since the abdication of the deposed emperor, the new emperor Xiao Jingheng succeeded to the throne and changed the reign title to Yonghe.
During the one year since he ascended the throne, he worked diligently, loved the people, appointed virtuous ministers, reformed the system, revised the laws, and won high praise from court officials and the people.
The only thing is that the new emperor has been on the throne for more than a year, but the position of empress is still vacant. Not to mention the concubines, His Majesty doesn't even have a maid by his side.
For this reason, court officials kept making remonstrations and requesting His Majesty to hold a selection of concubines, but they were all rejected by Xiao Jingheng.
On this day, because the court officials once again advised him against it, Xiao Jingheng was furious and banished all those court officials who had advised him against it from the capital.
In the imperial study, there were occasional light coughs.
Qin Muyan looked at the medicine in the hands of the eunuch waiting outside the door. He took it and pushed open the door. He saw the man in front of the imperial desk reviewing memorials.
His face showed fatigue and vicissitudes, and the hair on his temples was slightly gray, even though he was only in his twenties.
Qin Muyan looked distressed. He placed the medicine bowl in front of Xiao Jingheng and said, "Take the medicine."
Xiao Jingheng took a look at the medicine. He had caught a cold a few days ago and had not recovered from the overwork.
He didn't say anything, just picked up the medicine and drank it all, then continued to review the memorials.
This is how Xiao Jingheng has been spending the past year. He used political affairs to numb himself and did not allow himself even a moment of rest.
I have endured this for so long. If Song Shiwei saw this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be.
but……
Thinking about how Song Shiwei had been away from Beijing for more than a year but still couldn't get rid of the love poison in her body.
If we wait any longer, I don’t know if Xiao Jingheng can hold on?
He sighed and asked, "Is there any news from Bei Ming?"
Xiao Jingheng paused, picked up the brocade box on the table and opened it, only to see a thick stack of letters inside.
After Qingqing returned to Beiming, Ye Xun'an would send him a letter every half a month to tell him about Qingqing's recent situation.
However, after waiting for a year, he still did not get the result he wanted.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that Qingqing's love poison was taking effect more and more slowly.
Does this mean that she is slowly forgetting him?
Since he ascended the throne, he has been looking for famous doctors to develop an antidote for the love poison, but to no avail.
Seeing that Xiao Jingheng didn't say anything, Qin Muyan said, "How about I go to Beiming?
My sister was kidnapped to Beiming by Ye Xun'an, and he has never let her come back. I even wonder if he is going to break his promise?"
"Alright."
Jamel Xiao looked up at him and said, "Go and see if she's doing well for me?"
Qin Muyan nodded, then went back home to prepare.
That night.
Xiao Jingheng stayed in the imperial study until dark before returning to his own bedroom.
This is the palace where he once lived.
The furnishings in the palace had not changed at all, but as soon as Xiao Jingheng walked in, he smelled a strange smell in the palace.
It seems to be a woman's fragrance with a hint of milk.
He frowned and looked towards the inner hall with his sharp eyes, and saw a woman lying on the couch with her back to him so he couldn't see her face clearly.
Xiao Jingheng was furious and shouted, "Someone come here!"
There was no movement outside. He thought someone had bribed the guards to plot against him, so he said to the woman on the couch, "Get out if you don't want to die!"
I don't know which reckless minister dared to stuff a woman into his bed. If he finds out, he will skin him alive.
The woman on the couch sat up and laughed pleasantly: "Are you sure you want me to get out?"
Xiao Jingheng was stunned. Why did this voice sound so much like his beloved?
He walked quickly to the couch, and at that moment the person on the couch turned around, revealing Song Shiwei's pretty face.
Xiao Jingheng forgot to react for a moment. He thought he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he see the person he had been thinking about day and night.
He was afraid of disturbing the dreamer, so he didn't dare to move. He stared at her without blinking, his eyes filled with affection and tears.
When Song Shiwei saw Xiao Jingheng's gray hair, her heart ached. She reached out and touched his head and asked, "Why are your hair all gray?"
Xiao Jingheng felt her hand touching his head. The person in front of him was clearly his beloved, but the aura was not right.
He grabbed her arm and asked, "Who are you? Why are you holding Qingqing's face? Who sent you?"
Song Shiwei: "..."
After not seeing her for more than a year, Jamel Xiao didn't recognize her? Why did he feel that the person in front of him was not her?
She frowned, glared at him coquettishly and said, "You are so good, Xiao Jingheng, how long have I been away and you don't even recognize me?"
Xiao Jingheng looked at her expression, which was exactly the same as Qingqing's and didn't seem like she was pretending.
He reacted, held her hand excitedly and asked, "Qingqing, is it really you?"
Song Shiwei was so angry that she kicked him and said, "Who else could it be if not me?"
She pointed at Jamel Xiao angrily and said, "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll never let you go. Tell me, why do you think I'm fake?"
"I……"
Jamel Xiao leaned in and smelled her: “You don’t smell like that.”
Song Shiwei sniffed her clothes and then reacted. She chuckled and hooked her hands around Xiao Jingheng's neck and said, "I've been in Beiming for a year. What's so strange about the smell of my body changing?
Do you think there is anyone in this world who can imitate my charm? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jingheng hugged her tightly in his arms, his voice trembling: "Qingqing, it's really you, you're back?"
After the excitement subsided, he remembered something and hurriedly lowered his head to look at her and asked, "Have you cured your love poison?"
"You'll know if you try it."
Song Shiwei smiled slyly, then pounced on Xiao Jingheng, pressed him down on the couch and kissed him randomly.
A long-lost feeling came over him, and Jamel Xiao was sure that the person in front of him was not fake.
His beloved is really back.
Xiao Jingheng couldn't control his emotions. He turned over, pressed Song Shiwei under him, and kissed her eagerly.
He kissed fiercely, as if he wanted to pour out all the thoughts he had for the past year.
Song Shiwei once again felt his heat. Her eyes slightly reddened as she hugged Xiao Jingheng's neck and entangled with him passionately.
It was unknown how long it had been before Xiao Jingheng regained some of his senses.
He looked at Song Shiwei under him and asked in a low voice: "How did you cure your love poison? Why didn't my uncle tell me?"
Song Shiwei touched his face and said, "Of course I want to give you a surprise.
What if I write to tell you, and you abandon this kingdom and run to Beiming? Wouldn’t I become a sinner of Nanli?
I said I would come back to you when I got rid of the love poison, and I didn’t break my promise.”
She hugged Jamel Xiao and said in a choked voice: “Jamel Xiao, I will never leave you again.”
Xiao Jingheng hugged him tightly, his heart beating fast. For more than a year, he had been waiting in despair every day.
Fortunately, God has eyes and sent Qingqing back.
But he was still a little worried, he asked: "Has the love poison really been cured? Does your heart still hurt?"
Song Shiwei sniffed and kissed his eyes and said, "It won't hurt anymore, it's all healed."
Xiao Jingheng asked: "How did you solve it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the cry of a child outside the palace gate.
