Chapter 786: Zhao Zhang Wei Wants To Tell Yi Huiqing The Truth

Inside the Empress's chambers, Yi Huiqing was seated with a blank expression on her face.          

    

Lin Daiyu who saw her mistress like this was confused. She was actually happy with His Majesty's decision.      

"Your Majesty…"     

She paused for a moment before she continued.      

"Could it be that His Majesty is trying to make the wrong things right again? This servant thinks that His Majesty might really be in love with Your Majesty."     

A bright smile graced her lips when she said this.      

Lin Daiyu thought that her mistress would look happy at these words and after the declaration, he had just made.      

However, when she saw her mistress' strict eyes on her she felt slightly confused and was about to say something when Yi Huiqing asked her to leave.      

Lin Daiyu was hesitant as she wondered if her words made her mistress upset but in the end, she decided to leave her mistress alone. She doubted that something happened last night between her mistress and Emperor.      

Since then her mistress looked very lost and blank.      

And His Majesty spread the rumor that he was not well however she could clearly see that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty last night.      

On the other hand, Yi Huiqing stared at the wall in front of her with blank eyes.      

She was unable to understand what was going on.      

A frown marred her face as she felt the headache surfacing again. The whole night she had been unable to sleep because of what he said.      

'I love you, Qingqing.'     

It seemed as if he was still whispering against her ear. She could feel the warm breath from his lips.      

However, the strangest thing about this confession was that Yi Huiqing couldn't feel anything else other than some disturbance in her emotions.      

The first thing that came to her mind when Zhao Zhang Wei left was that Zhao Zhang Wei was lying.      

How could he love her so suddenly!      

They had lived together for four years. Though they were not together for every moment in these four years, still it seemed very ridiculous for Zhao Zhang Wei to fall in love with her so suddenly.      

A cold smile emerged on her lips as she wondered if it was because he didn't find her waiting upon him any longer.      

A man's pride could be a funny thing.      

That was what Yi Huiqing thought last night. She had decided to ignore the confession. She didn't know what 'love' actually meant for Zhao Zhang Wei.      

However, to her, his love could never fall in the category of the 'love' when he had so many concubines with whom he had spent so many nights and he would spend with others in the future.      

But what was she ought to think when she suddenly received the news that the Emperor had ordered all the concubines to leave the Imperial Palace?      

According to what she got to know, Zhao Zhang Wei did this because the ministers in the Imperial Court opposed him for spending nights with the Empress which meant her only.          

    

She also got to know the reasonable consequences of doing this. However, this was how Zhao Zhang Wei responded to their concerns.      

A sigh escaped Yi Huiqing's lips.      

At this moment, she couldn't understand anything.     

She thought of sleeping for some time, however, her body suddenly went stiff when the Imperial Guard announced     

"Welcoming His Majesty, the Emperor in the Empress' chambers."     

For a moment, Yi Huiqing felt like running away somewhere so that she would not have to face Zhao Zhang Wei. Without thinking anything, she even stood up and looked around the room as if to look for a place to hide.      

However, just a moment later, she wondered why she was trying to hide. It was not like she did something wrong.      

A frown marred her forehead at her own thought process.      

When Zhao Zhang Wei entered the room, he saw Yi Huiqing standing in a somewhat weird position. One of her hands was in front and other was slightly behind her back.      

She looked …ready to run somewhere.      

His phoenix eyes dimmed when he came to this conclusion.      

He swallowed as he walked towards her with slow steps wondering how he should try to tell her that she need not mind his confession at all.      

That he would try his best to make her comfortable.      

"Qingqing…"     

When he was near her, he called out her name gently.      

Yi Huiqing flinched as she came out of her trance only realizing at that moment that he had already entered the room. Her eyes went wide seeing him close and the kiss from last night unconsciously flashed in front of her eyes.      

As a result, she took a step back.      

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes dimmed more when he saw this action of hers.      

Yi Huiqing didn't even look at him and said awkwardly      

"Greetings, Your Majesty."     

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't say anything in response. He merely observed her actions. A moment later, something flickered in his eyes.      

She didn't look angry at all.      

That was what Zhao Zhang Wei concluded from his wife's actions. In the past few days, he had come to know about her this much.      

If she had been angry then she would have looked him in the eyes with a cold face.      

But here she was looking everywhere but at him.          

    

Was she flustered?      

The gloominess around him vanished instantly and a small smile graced his lips as he looked at his wife.      

Was it also a development? Zhao Zhang Wei wondered.      

He stepped forward again and as a result, Yi Huiqing looked at him with wide eyes taking another step back.      

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes flickered with mirth and he stepped forward again. With a deep frown on her forehead this time, Yi Huiqing again took a step back.      

This continued until she realized that she couldn't step back anymore.      

She was already standing against the wall. The realization made her nervous because Zhao Zhang Wei was now too close to her.      

"What are you thinking?"      

Zhao Zhang Wei asked gently. He caged her there with his arms putting around her on the wall as he waited for her answer.     

Yi Huiqing opened her mouth to speak but couldn't say anything. Zhao Zhang Wei didn't force her. He looked at her without moving his gaze away and spoke again in his deep voice.      

"Qingqing, did you think about what I said last night?"     

Yi Huiqing swallowed on hearing the question still not being able to find anything to say.     

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't mind when she didn't answer his question. Today, he wanted to tell her everything.      

He wanted to tell her what forced him to hide the truth from her that she was being poisoned to miscarry when she had been pregnant.      

However, he had just opened his mouth when he heard Eunuch Zhang's voice from outside.      

"Your Majesty"
