Chapter 537: Scheme, Don’t Insist

Have to say, Li Hong Yuan’s understanding towards his mother was very limited, but even with this limited understanding, he still grasped the Imperial Noble Consort’s certain inherent nature. Perhaps, should say, that was a trait shared by many mothers.

“Grandmaster, how long can consort mother appear for?”

“At most a quarter of an hour.” Grandmaster Liao Chen informed as such.

Jing Wan nodded. Towards this bit, she didn’t insist on anything. The Imperial Noble Consort ultimately had already passed away. Under this kind of circumstance, to be able to meet once was already very fortunate. In this world, to have such fortune, perhaps it was also just them. “Then based on the Imperial Noble Consort’s current situation, how long can she exist for?”

The eighty-one ceremonial altars had consumed large amounts of manpower, resources, and wealth, even having many twists and turns in between, but wasn’t it precisely for the sake of being able to let the Imperial Noble Consort not disappear that early?

Towards Jing Wan knowing about this matter, Grandmaster Liao Chen didn’t feel it was anything either, very much calm, “Originally, if no mishap had occurred, her Highness the Imperial Noble Consort will dissipate when wangye pass away. Just, in the end, it wasn’t that successful. That’s why, her Highness’s time will also be shortened. The specific amount of time is uncertain, but several years should still be enough.”

Jing Wan didn’t know what to say. After all, this kind of situation, only the involved party had the most right to speak. Emotionally speaking, towards the Imperial Noble Consort, Jing Wan rather pitied, but nothing more than this. And for Li Hong Yuan, everything he did wasn’t based on feelings either, but rather just an ‘exchange’. The things they did were quite a few, but in reality, it wasn’t that taxing either. As such, whether to exist or not, and how long to exist for, the Imperial Noble Consort’s thoughts were the most important.

Li Hong Yuan reached out, grasping Jing Wan’s hand, “What should be done, we’ve already done.”

“Amitabha Buddha.” Grandmaster Liao Chen prayed.

Jing Wan felt that this prayer of his seemingly had another deeper meaning, yet seemingly also just purely a ‘catchphrase’.

And as for the Imperial Noble Consort, it was just as Li Hong Yuan said, when deliberately pandering to Le Cheng Emperor, Le Cheng Emperor just easily got grasped in her palm. Of course, her attitude in the past was placed there. Even if the Imperial Noble Consort wanted to do something, she also won’t go overboard. In any case, right now, she was also just a spirit. Le Cheng Emperor simply wasn’t able to touch her, so it was nothing more than just a few soft words.

The Imperial Noble Consort sensed that her time was almost up, “…………..Your Majesty, this consort’s time is almost up, hoping your Majesty take care of one’s body.”

“Guan Guan, this e-emperor, can this emperor still see you again?” Le Cheng Emperor repeatedly wanted to touch the Imperial Noble Consort, yet failed again and again. But, Le Cheng Emperor was just unwilling to give up. Clearly the person he yearned for day and night was just before his eyes, no different from a living person, also the same as his memories, but why just unable to touch? He really was unable to accept!

That’s why, the human heart was just this greedy. When not knowing she was still present, it was just pretending to have deep feelings towards those portraits, and when learning that she was ‘still in the mortal realm’, it was just wanting to meet, and as such, able to die in peace. But when really meeting, it was just wanting to touch, wanting to have her kept behind. All in all, it was just wishing to erase all the unpleasant matters of the past, and just from hereon, be together with her in harmony.

The Imperial Noble Consort shook her head, “To be able to see your Majesty, and see Yuan’er, this consort already have no regrets. This consort is already much more fortunate than many many people, so can’t have extravagant hopes for a next time. If there’s a next life……….” then certainly will be irreconcilable enemies, the kind where one will not cease until death.

The Imperial Noble Consort’s unspoken words were as such, but her expression on the surface was completely different, carrying a bit of sorrow, and a bit of reluctance, grasping the degree exceptionally well.

Le Cheng Emperor naturally just visualized a whole bunch, seemingly hating that he can’t immediately head to the yellow springs together with the Imperial Noble Consort, and then reincarnate together, in the next life, be born as childhood sweethearts, intimate since young, and afterwards, as the canal form along the flowing water, tie the knot……….

TN: All

Thinking about it, Le Cheng Emperor just uncontrollably began shaking in excitement, seemingly even forgetting his current status, “Guan Guan……….”

“If there’s a next life, it’s best if your Majesty isn’t born into the imperial family again.”

Le Cheng Emperor’s originally strange excitement, at this time, became sluggish.

The Imperial Noble Consort smiled, yet it was a bit mournful, “Your Majesty, the human heart is made of flesh. In the past, your Majesty was extremely good to this consort. This consort has all taken in and remembers in one’s heart. Just, as people, ultimately greedy.” She paused, “A pair for a lifetime. Sure enough, one is still too greedy. Your Majesty, Yuan’er right now has a pretty good relationship with his wife. This consort doesn’t know how far Yuan’er can go, just what one is unable to obtain, still hope that someone can obtain. At least, let this consort believe, in this world, some things are still possible. How Yuan’er will be in the future, this consort is unable to interfere, just hoping that your Majesty will no longer interfere in the matters between them. This consort, bids farewell.”

When the Imperial Noble Consort finished, her figure rapidly faded, very quickly disappearing without a trace.

“Guan Guan!” Le Cheng Emperor subconsciously reached out to grab, “Guan Guan wait for me, this emperor promise you, this emperor will promise you anything!”

The Imperial Noble Consort heard, but declined to comment. Because others were unable to see her, her expression also became dull, just standing before Le Cheng Emperor. She was very clear, this man was merely just momentarily impulsive. His words, the Imperial Noble Consort simply didn’t believe. She wasn’t really someone that thought highly of herself. However, in her bones, she actually very much disdained Le Cheng Emperor. Should say, towards men like Le Cheng Emperor, she all looked down upon.

There was an invisible force drawing her. The Imperial Noble Consort knew, this came from Shu Consort Qin. In the past, when she was still able to leave her body, this kind of force already existed. Towards this kind of ‘getting controlled by someone’ situation, she didn’t really reject that much. Turning around, she just directly left.

Towards her promises with Le Cheng Emperor, even if deceiving him, the Imperial Noble Consort similarly had a clear conscience, and also not the least bit worried that it would come true, because she knew that she will no longer reincarnate. Even though Li Hong Yuan never mentioned this problem from the start, Shu Consort Qin didn’t know, and she also didn’t know, but regarding herself, the Imperial Noble Consort ultimately had a strong intuition.

Perhaps because of hearing Le Cheng Emperor suddenly raising his voice, Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan looked to one another and headed inside together. Just, before even reaching the door, Li Hong Yuan just paused in his steps, causing Jing Wan to also stop along with. “She left.”

Jing Wan had also guessed that the Imperial Noble Consort might have left. Just, her husband’s reaction seemingly was a bit different.

“Just now, we must have passed through her body.”

Jing Wan slightly froze. Although she didn’t feel anything, but just thinking of passing through a ‘ghost’, she seemingly still somewhat raised goosebumps.

Li Hong Yuan pulled along Jing Wan, turning around. From the looks of it, it was preparing to leave the palace.

For him to appear here, it wasn’t for the sake of that so called imperial father of his. Right now, the main party already can’t be seen, so what’s the point in staying. As for asking Le Cheng Emperor for permission to leave, don’t joke, his good imperial father was currently fondly recalling his mother. He was a ‘considerate’ and ‘filial’ good son. When he shouldn’t disturb, he was a hundred percent considerate.
