Chapter 304 Previous Life 31
Luo Qin turned around and thought about it carefully, and it was true. She and Jin Zhao had fallen out. If she were to find another man to marry, it must be someone Jin Zhao would not dare to act rashly, most likely a man from a top family.
who can that be?
……
One night.
It was late at night, the moon was high in the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace, reflecting a silvery-white color.
A dark shadow came to Luo Qin's bed quietly and silently like a ghost.
The shadowy man approached cautiously, afraid of waking up the sleeping Luo Qin. His eyes were full of obsession and attachment as he stared at her sleeping face silently, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The woman's face looked particularly beautiful in the moonlight. Her skin was white as snow, her lips were like cherries, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had endless worries even in her dreams.
The shadowy man couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch her face, but when he was about to touch her, he stopped, fearing that his action would disturb her.
He just stood quietly beside the bed, staring at Luo Qin's sleeping face, thinking that he was a cowardly emperor. He had to do it secretly if he wanted to see his concubine.
Jin Zhao was secretly annoyed for a while, then sat down beside the bed, gently held the woman's hand, and observed quietly to make sure that she showed no signs of waking up. Then he carefully reached out and touched her round belly under the quilt, and his eyes softened in an instant.
The doctor said that this is a daughter...
When she was born, he and Ping'er had a son and a daughter, and their life was complete.
Jin Zhao slowly withdrew his hand from his belly and held the woman's delicate hand tightly, feeling the warmth and delicate touch from her palm.
He just sat there quietly, as if time had stopped, the moonlight shining on him bit by bit.
It was unknown how much time had passed, so long that even the moonlight outside the window had quietly changed its angle, before Jin Zhao slowly stood up, but his eyes had never left the woman.
The man leaned forward slightly, gently approaching the woman's face, and placed a feather-light kiss on her lips as gently as a breeze blowing across the lake.
The kiss was short and gentle, containing endless attachment and reluctance.
Looking at the sleeping face of the woman, Jin Zhao felt extremely fulfilled. He looked back three times on his last step and reluctantly left Guanju Palace.
……
Since the cold war with Jin Zhao, Luo Qin has lived a quiet life, staying in the Ju Palace alone to take care of her pregnancy.
When she was more than six months pregnant, something happened in the palace - the emperor, at the suggestion of Concubine Jiang, made reforms and wanted to abolish the Nine-Rank System and hold an imperial examination to allow students from poor families to compete with the sons of noble families on an equal footing.
As soon as this news came out, the entire court and the public were arguing about it. The poor families thought it was feasible, but the aristocratic families strongly opposed it.
Luo Qin felt something was wrong when he found out. If Jin Zhao insisted on promoting the imperial examination, he would end up like Emperor Yang of Sui.
Because this really infringed upon the interests of the aristocratic families. You must know that the emperor of this period was just a "spokesperson" put forward by the aristocratic families. If he dared to touch their interests, I'm afraid the emperor would have to be replaced.
She had said this to Jin Zhao when they were chatting casually before, that reforms always result in casualties. It seems that Jin Zhao is using Concubine Jiang as a shield, claiming that he is a wise ruler who will go down in history. If he fails, he will execute Concubine Jiang to appease the anger of the aristocratic families.
Sure enough, just a few days after the news was leaked, Jin Zhao was frequently assassinated. This was a blatant threat from the aristocratic family.
In the court, Jin Zhao was also strongly suppressed by the aristocratic families. Under tremendous pressure, Jin Zhao had to face the reality that he really could not shake the aristocratic families!
In the end, it turned out just as Luo Qin had expected, Concubine Jiang was pushed out to take the blame.
The imperial examination was also abolished, and the Nine-Rank System was restored.
