Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1547 Two Choices
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu knelt in front of Emperor Yuanwu with low eyebrows, her expression was submissive, her eyes were not squinting, and her every move was like a model from a book, making it impossible for anyone to find any mistakes.

She stood submissively, waiting for Emperor Yuanwu to speak.

Emperor Yuanwu spoke slowly: "I was once obsessed with a woman. Every time I saw her breathtaking beauty, I would fall deeply into it and be unable to extricate myself."

"I want to marry her home and offer her like a diluted treasure, so that she belongs to me alone. Others dare not covet her, nor can they desecrate her."

"I once thought that this was the relationship between men and women, until one day, a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes jumped down from the rafter."

"With just one glance, I have no way out. Unlike the woman I was infatuated with, I want to protect her, take care of her, and stay with her for a lifetime, rather than raising her up."

"When I understood that pounding feeling, I couldn't help but fall in love with her. I don't know if my love will still be so strong in the future."

"But what I can be sure of is that apart from her, I can no longer tolerate anyone else in my heart. Concubine Shu, you are a knowledgeable and considerate woman. Maybe you understand what I am thinking?"

Concubine Shu knelt down slowly, her voice was calm, and she seemed not to be bothered by Emperor Yuanwu's words: "Return to your majesty, I understand."

Emperor Yuanwu leaned back slightly: "I know you will understand, so I am honest with you."

Concubine Shu was startled. She, who had always been calm and composed, showed a panicked look for the first time: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yuanwu smiled nonchalantly: "How come I don't know about the past of a person who enters my harem?"

"You and my Tanhua Lang are in love, but it's a pity that a piece of holy order has trapped you in this cage."

"I am very satisfied with that Tanhua Lang. He is young and promising, erudite and talented. His future is immeasurable. He is a perfect match for you. We are a perfect match."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu was so horrified that she knelt on the ground, her slender body couldn't help trembling.

The emperor's woman can only belong to the emperor until her death.

If this woman has someone else in her heart, even if she has in the past or secretly keeps it in her heart, this is an unforgivable death penalty.

She is not afraid of death, but is afraid of causing harm to her family and her grandfather who is devoted to her.

So she could only lie down on the ground and beg the Nine-Five Lord for forgiveness in the most humble posture.

"I know that I was wrong, and I beg your Majesty to punish me."

Emperor Yuanwu ignored her nervousness and anxiety and asked her seriously: "Concubine Shu has been in the palace for a long time, has her mind changed?"

Concubine Shu's body trembled heavily again, and she did not dare to speak for a long time.

But even if she didn't raise her head, she could still feel the cold gaze falling on her.After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said frankly: "My concubine's heart has never changed. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, Concubine Shu seemed to be exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

She was heartbroken, waiting for the heavy punishment that was about to befall her.

In fact, she also knew that if she refused to admit it, His Majesty might not be able to find a reason to punish her, but when it came to life and death, she could not deceive her heart.

If there was only a moment left in her life, she would live it calmly.

However, just when her heart tightened and she was sweating, Emperor Yuanwu asked Eunuch Lu to hand her an official document.

Concubine Shu was very surprised. She opened the official document and saw that it was the transfer order from her sweetheart.

Then, she heard the clear voice of Emperor Yuanwu: "I give you two choices. One is to fake your death and leave the palace. From now on, you will remain anonymous and no longer appear in the eyes of your relatives, friends and anyone who can recognize you."

"First, if you stay in this palace until you die, I will give you fine clothes and food, but I won't give you anything else. You can choose it yourself!"

"If you choose the former, you will be a concubine who died young. I will give you a posthumous title and treat your family well. As for whether you choose to renew your relationship with Tanhualang later, that is your freedom and I will not interfere."

"Choose the latter, and your situation will not be any different from now. It belongs to Concubine Shu, and nothing will be missing."

Concubine Shu couldn't believe her ears.

The concubines who entered the palace had no chance to leave the prison unless they died.

Even if His Majesty doesn't have her in his heart, he certainly can't tolerate her thinking of escaping.

The only ending she could think of was to stay with a man who didn't love her, to die alone in a cold palace, never giving up the hope of leaving.

This transfer order transferred her sweetheart to Jiangnan for a post.

This also tells her that it is still possible for her to find her lost heart.

She couldn't believe it and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Looking at her strange husband, she looked at this man carefully for the first time. She didn't know whether to believe it, because she knew nothing about this nominal husband!
Once she makes the wrong choice, it will be doomed for both her and the entire Liu family.

She, who had always been calm and composed, was in a state of confusion at this moment.

But then, she faced Emperor Yuanwu's confirmation: "Concubine Shu, have you thought about it? Or do you need me to give you more time to think about it?"
