Chapter 225 Madam Lan
After these two people reminded her, Dalan finally came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and realized that the name Aishan called was "Madam". She immediately turned her head to look at Mi Feiti and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and help me get up to receive the order!"
Unexpectedly, just as Dalan was about to get up, Aisan hurriedly stopped her: "Madam, there is no need to get up, just lie down like this. The king has specifically instructed that Madam is not feeling well now, so you only need the palace maid beside you to perform the kneeling ceremony on your behalf." After saying that, he glanced around and looked at the two people next to him.
Upon seeing this, Mi Feiti and Shan Li immediately stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your servants are here to receive the order on behalf of the Madam!"
Aishan then slowly unfolded the scroll, "The beautiful lady Dalan is virtuous, modest and polite. She has always been well behaved and always performs her duties with respect. She has given birth to heirs for the royal family. Now, I hereby obey the king's decree and seal you as his wife. I also grant you some supplements and tributes. I decree this!"
"I bow down to thank Your Majesty for your grace. Long live the king!" Dalan lay tenderly on the bed, her voice so soft as if she was afraid to disturb the peaceful atmosphere.
Her eyes were full of gratitude and joy, while Mifiti and Yamanashi beside her knelt down devoutly, kowtowed and thanked the emperor, with their foreheads pressed against the ground to show their awe for the emperor's gift.
Eunuch Aisan held the golden imperial edict in both hands, walked carefully in front of Mi Feizai, handed it to her respectfully, and said softly: "Madam Lan, the items rewarded by the king will be delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs later, please wait a moment." His tone was humble and solemn, which made people respect him.
Dalan nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then cast a subtle look at Yamanashi. Yamanashi understood, and quickly took out an exquisite purse from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Eunuch Aisan with a smile on his face, and said, "Eunuch, you have worked hard! I hope you will accept this little gift."
Eunuch Aisan did not refuse and took the purse naturally. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and he said, "Thank you, madam. Madam is now pregnant with the dragon descendant. You just need to rest and recuperate. You don't need to worry about other trivial matters. Your Majesty knows what to do." His words were like a spring breeze, making Dalan feel extremely warm.
Dalan nodded again to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your advice, Eunuch. I understand. If I need anything in the future, I hope you can take care of me." Her words were sincere, and her eyes were shining with sincerity.
Eunuch Aishan quickly bowed and responded, "It is my honor to serve you, madam. You can rest assured. I will no longer disturb you to rest. I will take my leave first." After saying that, he slowly took a few steps back, turned around and left, his steps steady and light.
Mifeiti held the bright yellow imperial edict tightly in both hands, walked briskly to Dalan, his face filled with joy that was hard to conceal, and said loudly: "Congratulations, madam, it is such a happy event! Congratulations, madam! The king is so caring and thinking of you!"
However, at this moment, Dalan seemed to be a different person. The smile she had before disappeared instantly, replaced by a face full of loneliness and sadness. She stared at the cold and ruthless imperial edict in front of her, and ordered in a low and chilling voice: "Yamanashi, put this imperial edict away."
Yamanashi responded respectfully, "Yes, sir!" Then he carefully took the imperial edict from Mifiti and turned to walk towards the closet.
Mifeti was keenly aware of the change in Dalan's mood, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He quickly asked: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed? The king not only promoted you this time, but also gave you many generous rewards. Logically, you should be very happy!"
Dalan looked up at the ceiling above the bed with empty eyes, and murmured to himself: "Mifeti, do you think I am too greedy, or insatiable?"
Upon hearing this, Mi Feiti hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "Madam, why would you say that about yourself?" He really couldn't understand why Dalan suddenly became so depressed when it was obviously something worth celebrating.
Dalan sighed deeply, and that sigh seemed to carry endless sorrow and helplessness: "Compared to other women, I already have a lovely child, and at this moment, I am pregnant with another little life. However, why is it that every time the king hurriedly comes to me and then hurriedly rushes into the arms of others, I always feel a surge of despair and pain in my heart? Although I know very well that he does this out of his desire to protect me, deliberately distances himself from me, and even specially sends Yamanashi and Mangosteen to take care of me, but why do I still feel his cold-heartedness and indifference?" She murmured to herself, tears flowing uncontrollably like a flood!
Seeing this, Mi Feiti hurried forward and whispered to comfort her: "Madam, why would you say such a thing? The reason you have such thoughts is because of your deep and strong love for the king! Can you ask yourself, which woman in the world can watch the man she loves so much frequently having sex with other women? However, the king also has his own unspeakable difficulties! He loves you deeply and loves you very much, but he is afraid that you will become the target of jealousy and resentment because of his excessive pampering of you, so he actually did this to keep you safe!"
Daran choked up: "I understand clearly what you said. But... I still can't calm down. When I think of those things, my heart feels like it's being stabbed by countless needles. " As she spoke, her tears once again surged down like a dam bursting, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto her lapels, forming wet marks.
Seeing how heartbroken Dalan was, Mifeti couldn't help but feel pity for him. She gently reached out her hand, wiped away the tears from Dalan's eyes, and comforted him:
"Madam, think about it. The virtuous concubine has the support of the prime minister. They are now extremely powerful and have been domineering in the palace for many years. Didn't you also suffer at her hands? Moreover, she has killed countless people. In the past few years, she has recommended countless young women who entered the palace with you to serve the king, but none of them was able to give birth to a prince. Doesn't this just show how cruel she is?"
"As for Concubine Ru, we chose to rely on her back then, so until we have the strength, we can only obey her orders. If one day she feels that we are no longer under her control, I am afraid we will end up in a miserable situation. Therefore, Madam, you must understand that in the palace you can only be firm in your beliefs and trust the king wholeheartedly. When the king successfully eradicates these two cancers, he will definitely regard you as a treasure in his heart and stay by your side forever!"
Listening to Mifiti's gentle and caring words, she felt like she had found a quiet harbor. Exhausted both physically and mentally, she leaned quietly on Mifiti's broad shoulders and gradually fell asleep.
However, Yamanashi, who was not far away, heard every word of their conversation. But surprisingly, Yamanashi did not intend to tell the king about this matter.
