NFBE Chapter 125 Begging
Chapter 125 Begging
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's heart trembled. How could she forget the despicable and shameless thing that the original owner had done?
She scratched her head somewhat awkwardly; this was indeed a difficult situation...
At this moment, Ling Feng whispered in Jiang Qingyan's ear, "Your Majesty, perhaps the medical skills of Miss Green Medicine could..."
Jiang Qingyan's eyes lit up instantly. How could she have forgotten about the green medicine!
Ling Feng is such a clever little guy!
She raised her head again, scanned everyone's faces, and then fixed her gaze on Song Qingqing. "If I could restore you to your virginity, would you be willing to leave the palace?"
A look of surprise flashed in Song Qingqing's eyes. Could the Emperor really have such an ability?
After a moment's thought, she bowed deeply to Jiang Qingyan and said, "If Your Majesty can restore my virginity, then I will thank Your Majesty for your mercy and allow me to leave the palace."
Seeing that Song Qingqing was willing to leave the palace, the others also changed their minds.
If the Emperor could truly restore their virginity, given their looks and family backgrounds, wouldn't they be able to easily choose a good husband after leaving the palace...?
It's much better than fighting a bunch of men for the emperor...
Then, a large group of beautiful women in colorful clothes all said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy in allowing us to leave the palace!"
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyan smiled with satisfaction and ordered everyone to return to their respective palaces to wait.
After most of the women left, a dozen or so remained in the Imperial Garden, staring intently at Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan immediately spotted Ning Ruyu standing at the back of the crowd, dressed in a white dress.
Her face was already covered with tears, the tip of her nose was slightly red, and her eyes were full of disappointment and confusion.
Seeing her so heartbroken, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. It was a pity she wasn't a man, otherwise she would definitely have married Ning Ruyu...
Jiang Qingyan dared not step forward to inquire, fearing that such inappropriate tenderness would make Ning Ruyu reluctant to leave the palace...
Ning Ruyu is a good girl, we absolutely cannot let her be harmed...
Jiang Qingyan withdrew her gaze and asked the other beauties, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Zhang Yun'er, the daughter of the Imperial Censor, stepped forward and slowly curtsied, saying pitifully, "Your Majesty...we don't want to leave the palace..."
Jiang Qingyan tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Why don't you want to leave the palace? You all know that I prefer men... No matter what you do, I will never like you... Why waste your youth in the harem?"
Zhang Yun'er pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said, "We are all unloved at home, and we only entered the palace to protect our other sisters. Even if we leave the palace and return home, we will still be arranged to marry into the households of other officials or princes... It's better to stay in the palace and chat and laugh with my sisters; life is relatively free..."
So that's how it is... It seems these women are all pitiful...
Jiang Qingyan sighed, "Then it's up to you... If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me anytime."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and thanked Jiang Qingyan before dispersing.
Seeing that only Ning Ruyu remained on that open space in the Imperial Garden.
Ling Feng wisely used his lightness skill to return to the shadows, and Eunuch Wang also led the palace maids and eunuchs to the side to wait, giving the two enough space to talk.
Jiang Qingyan took a deep breath, slowly walked to Ning Ruyu's side, and said softly, "Yu'er, you are a good girl, but unfortunately I am homosexual and cannot give you the love you desire. This time, when you leave the palace, find a good man to marry. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can still come to the palace and tell me, and I will certainly not forgive them..."
Ning Ruyu stood there, staring at Jiang Qingyan. Every word Jiang Qingyan spoke was like a needle piercing her heart.
After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice hoarse beyond belief, "So when you served me before, it wasn't because Your Majesty was too busy with state affairs and too tired, but because you simply had no interest in me, right?"
Jiang Qingyan guiltily glanced away, not daring to meet Ning Ruyu's eyes.
Ning Ruyu's tears slid slowly down her cheeks again, until they fell to the ground...
Her lips trembled slightly as she asked again, "Is Your Majesty lying to me when you say you like me?"
Jiang Qingyan remained silent. When she once said she liked Ning Ruyu, it truly came from the bottom of her heart...
But at this moment, she couldn't refute it...
For Ning Ruyu, silence was tantamount to acquiescence...
The emperor never loved her...
But from birth, she was destined to be the emperor's woman...
Ning Ruyu, unwilling to accept defeat, grabbed Jiang Qingyan's hand, sobbing, "Your Majesty, please don't send Yu'er away, okay? From now on, Yu'er will only watch Your Majesty from afar. Yu'er will never again crave Your Majesty's love, and will never again ask to serve you in bed..."
Seeing Ning Ruyu's tearful appearance, Jiang Qingyan felt as if her heart was being violently clenched, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.
Since arriving here, she has summoned countless beauties of the harem, but Ning Ruyu is the only one who is simple, obedient, and considerate towards her.
The thought of her getting married and never seeing her again filled Jiang Qingyan with immense reluctance...
If Ning Ruyu knew she was a woman, would she regret giving her heart to her?
She couldn't selfishly ruin this young woman's life; a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one. She absolutely couldn't be soft-hearted...
Jiang Qingyan gritted her teeth and resolutely pulled her hand away from Ning Ruyu's.
His expression was perfectly calm. "What I like is an obedient and sensible girl, as pure and white as snow on a high mountain, not a vulgar woman like you who cries and throws tantrums. If you want to leave a good impression on me, then leave the palace and go home without a care in the world."
Ning Ruyu stared at that familiar yet unfamiliar face. Every word uttered from those handsome lips was like a knife, stabbing viciously at her...
Yes, any further entanglement will only annoy the Emperor...
Ning Ruyu raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down so that she wouldn't look so disheveled.
After a moment, she looked at Jiang Qingyan again, as if pleading, and murmured, "Your Majesty, could you grant me one more night? I only need this one night... After this night, I will leave the palace immediately and never again trouble Your Majesty..."
Jiang Qingyan originally wanted to cut the Gordian knot and refuse directly, but when she met Ning Ruyu's gentle eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no and could only nod.
After Ning Ruyu left, Jiang Qingyan rushed to Lvyao's residence and asked, "Lvyao, do you have a way to restore someone's virginity?"
