Chengxiang Hall is a small palace room in the harem, located in the southwest corner of the imperial garden, quite secluded, but from the emperor's study, exceptionally close.

Liu Xinzi was escorted and pushed to the hall to kneel, she looked up and saw the bright yellow dragon robe, Emperor Dade stood with his hands in his hands, carefully looking at everything in the palace, and there was a trace of imperceptible tenderness on his majestic face on weekdays.

The crowd was dismissed, and for a time only the two of them were left in the hall, silent and silent. The light on the table was clearly extinguished, and the emperor's expression was hidden in the night, and it was not clear to see.

"Do you think I'm stupid and confused?" After a long time, the emperor spoke quietly.

Liu Xinzi was shocked and fell to the ground: "The courtiers don't have this intention. ”

"Do you know who lived in this courtyard before?" After a long silence, the emperor asked an unrelated question.

Without waiting for Liu Xinzi to speak, he sighed to himself: "This is Shuo'er's mother concubine, Bai Wei's residence." ”

Liu Xinzi's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but raise her head and look carefully.

The house is not big, but it is clean and tidy, not like no one lives. All the furnishings are elegant and elegant, and they look comfortable at first glance.

As if seeing the doubts in her heart, the emperor slowly spoke: "I have people clean every day, and there can be no dust, so that every time I come, I will feel that Wei'er is not dead, she just went to the imperial garden, I wait as usual, and she will come back." ”

"Your Majesty ......" Liu Xinzi saw a rare look in the emperor's eyes, guessed a few points, and said that the emperor was ruthless, but he didn't know that ruthless people were the most dedicated. Once a ruthless person is moved, he will remain unswerving for the rest of his life.

"They all think that I love Concubine Chun the most, but in fact, they don't know that what I love the most is my Wei'er."

On such a late autumn night, facing the woman kneeling on the ground, Emperor Dade fell into memory.

"Wei'er is eccentric, everyone else is afraid of me, but she is not afraid. She was delicate and pretty, and when she hugged my neck and coquettishly behaved, I knew that I was really in love with her. ”

"My favor has given her supreme beauty, but it has also brought her endless disasters. When she had two miscarriages in a row and became terminally ill, I understood...... It's my favor that makes people feel bad about her. ”

"I pretended to alienate her, snubbed her, she didn't understand, gradually lost her liveliness, washed her face with tears every day, and later, after giving birth to Shuo'er, she never woke up."

Liu Xinzi looked up at the emperor who was high on weekdays, and for a moment his face was pale and haggard, like a remnant leaf, hanging alone on the cold and lonely branches, and the height was unbearable.

The emperor thought for a long time, and smiled bitterly, "I may have gotten what I asked for in this life, but like quicksand in the palm of my hand, I finally have it." The second half of my life has been living in pain and memories, so I don't want my Shuo'er to experience such pain, and the long pain is better than the short pain, I would rather marry you now, so that Shuo'er hates me, and I don't want him to be as painful as me in the future, you, can you understand? ”

Under the dim candlelight, the always grumpy and unmistakable Emperor Dade had a loving look on his face. made Liu Xinzi lose her mind for a while.

She should have guessed the emperor's feelings for Bai Jingxuan's mother...... If it wasn't really different, why did the emperor bother sending Bai Jingxuan out of the palace since he was a child, finding someone to cultivate him carefully, and picking a charm to protect him from time to time?

I'm afraid that from the moment Bai Jingxuan was born, the emperor intended him to be the next son of heaven. No wonder, he has always been dissatisfied with Qu Chengyu, no wonder he is lukewarm to several princes, it turns out that in his heart, he has long identified Bai Jingshuo!
