Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

"Ziwei, I know your grievances, and I also know your pain. I really want to bear this pain for you." Erkang covered his chest and said affectionately.

Ziwei looked at Erkang with tears in her eyes. She was deeply moved by Erkang's affectionate confession.

"But, Erkang, they won't understand me, they won't understand my insincerity, they won't understand our love until death."

"Then let them understand and forgive our inability to control ourselves!" Erkang spoke passionately, as if he were a warrior charging into battle for love, proving their true love to the world.

"I believe that time will prove everything. Ziwei, you have to bear some grievances first. I promise that when I become successful, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."

"Erkang, I don't care. I only care about you."

A hint of impatience finally appeared in Erkang's eyes, and this time Ziwei noticed it. Her heart seemed to suddenly fall into extremely cold water. Her limbs suddenly felt weak and her head was buzzing.

She has always been extremely sensitive in the field of love. Why did Erkang insist that she enter the palace to seek an official position for him?

Suddenly she remembered what He Xi had said to her.

They had almost no contact. That time, she asked Hexi for help, and Hexi helped her and asked an imperial physician to treat Erkang.

Hexi's expression was very bad, with a frown on her face, which made Ziwei nervous, fearing that something might happen.

Fortunately, the imperial physician said that Erkang was not seriously injured, but Hexi could not relax.

Before leaving, he told her: "Don't trust him. If there is anything unusual, you must report it to the palace."

Of course Ziwei didn’t believe it. How could the person she loved the most not believe it?

She believed that Erkang would not hurt her.

Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and earth are united, I will never part with you. That was their oath and also the testimony of their love.

Ziwei secretly mocked Hexi for making a fuss out of nothing.

But now, for some reason, seeing Erkang acting so abnormally, Ziwei felt an unknown fear in her heart.

"Some people are always good at pretending. They haven't completely given up on white flour, but they pretend to be cured. For white flour, they can do anything! Remember, anything!"

He Xi's words kept echoing in Ziwei's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Erkang, what am I going to say when I enter the palace? And there is no position suitable for you!"

Now Erkang has been excluded from the ranks of dignitaries.

Previously, those who were at the same level as him or even richer than him all gave him some face.

Firstly, he is on good terms with the Fifth Prince, and others will give him some respect. Now that the Fifth Prince has lost his power, let alone Erkang.

Secondly, the former favorite concubine, Concubine Ling, was related to the Fu family by marriage, and they often interacted with each other. Everyone was smart and would naturally leave a way out for everything.

But now Erkang's backers have fallen one by one, he is disliked by Qianlong, and Fulun is gradually marginalized.

It can be said that Erkang has no investment value anymore, so naturally there are not so many fawning friends.

The only thing worth mentioning is that he married the emperor's illegitimate daughter Ziwei, but this was a secret and not many people knew about it.

He did not dare to publicize it. Outsiders only knew that he married a bondservant who was beautiful and gentle, and that was all.

And now, for his own purposes, he tried hard to trick Ziwei into asking for a position for him.

If he were a commoner, how could he get the life-saving medicine?

He didn't want to endure the heart-wrenching pain anymore, and he also couldn't bear to see Ziwei sad because of his failure.

Seeing Ziwei said nothing, Erkang's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Did Ziwei dislike him? But who had brought him to this state?

The dark factor in Erkang's heart is expanding little by little, and one day it will completely engulf him.

"Ziwei, have you forgotten our vows? I once said that I would give you the best thing in the world, but we are in a difficult time now. I think we should work hard, we should fight, and we should look forward to a better future."

"Don't you believe that I can make a comeback?" Erkang took the initiative and looked at Ziwei with hurt eyes.

Ziwei had no way to defend herself. She had never disliked him, otherwise she would have bowed to Qianlong long ago.

But she didn't. She always stayed with Erkang, no matter he was awake or confused. Even when she was hurt by Erkang, she never thought of leaving.

"Erkang, how could you misunderstand me like this? My love for you is evident to all. I don't have any lofty ambitions, I just want you to be safe, I just want Dong'er to grow up healthy, and I just want our family of three to be together forever."

Ziwei is a pure love-brained person, and her heart and eyes are filled with Erkang.

Even Dong'er had to retreat.

Seeing that Ziwei, who always responded to his requests, kept procrastinating, Erkang could no longer wait. He could not wait that long. If this continued, he would be tortured crazy. He could not stand such a life.

"Ziwei, I, Erkang, am a man of integrity. Living a useless life at home is better off dead!"

After saying this, he was about to get out of bed, take his sword and commit suicide.

Ziwei anxiously hugged Erkang's waist, shaking her head desperately with tears in her eyes.

"No! Erkang, don't do this. I promise you, I promise you."

Even if her dignity is trampled underfoot, Ziwei will have no regrets as long as Erkang can be happy.

In a corner where Ziwei couldn't see, Erkang smiled smugly.

I'm sorry, if I can succeed, I will definitely make it up to you, Erkang thought to himself.

Early the next morning, Erkang woke Ziwei up, as any delay might lead to something unexpected happening.

I didn't sleep well last night. I kept thinking over and over again about Erkang's inconsistent words and actions. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

Seeing Erkang calling her up in a hurry, Ziwei's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Erkang, he has really changed.

Ziwei fell into confusion, gave up everything, and abandoned her mother, the Emperor. Is this the naked truth of the love she had worked so hard to maintain?

Erkang personally called a carriage for Ziwei. In fact, the Fu family had been running at a loss for several months.

Erkang comforted Ziwei with sweet words and told her to speak well of him in front of the emperor and find him a position.

Ziwei nodded numbly. Erkang didn't have time to consider Ziwei's feelings, so he asked Ziwei to hurry into the palace and not to miss the time.

"Erkang, Dong'er is still not well. I'm not at home today, you must take good care of Dong'er and don't let him catch a cold and then get worse." Ziwei explained carefully, Erkang nodded one by one, seeming to be very concerned.
