The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Xiao Chengxu turned his head away and whispered, "Yes."

Xie Yaoqing suddenly felt a mixture of emotions and couldn't tell what it was that he felt.

In fact, she had had some suspicions in her heart for a long time, but she had never dared to ask, fearing that once she did, the answer she would get would not be what she expected, which would make her even more heartbroken.

Until the words of Marquis Yongchang woke her up.

"When it comes to judging people, whether you hear with your ears or see with your eyes, you can't be sure about everything. You have to look carefully to see a person clearly." Marquis Yongchang said earnestly.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with his daughter, he knew that it must be related to Xiao Chengxu. The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust. If there is no trust, how can there be any feelings?

He could also see that there was still affection between the two, but there was a rift between them, so he tried to persuade them tactfully.

Now that things have been said, as to whether Xie Yaoqing will listen to it, ignore it, or take it to heart, that depends on her.

Xie Yaoqing thought about it over and over again, but he still couldn't let it go.

Xie Yaoqing heard the rumors about the demise of the Yongchang Marquisate from other people. At that time, because her position as queen was abolished and Xiao Chengxu's attitude became increasingly cold, Xie Yaoqing was shocked, angry and sad, and believed it without any doubt.

She thought, Xiao Chengxu kept saying that the former dynasty was closely related to the harem. Since he could depose her, didn't it mean that something had happened in Yongchang Marquis's Mansion? Otherwise, how could her father and brother sit back and watch and allow Xiao Chengxu to issue an edict to depose the empress?

Moreover, at that time, Xie Yaoqing had no way to contact his relatives outside the palace, so even if he wanted to verify the truth, there was no way.

The only glimmer of hope in her heart was Xiao Chengxu. She didn't believe that Xiao Chengxu was really so ruthless. If the entire Yongchang Marquis's family was really imprisoned, she would go to Xiao Chengxu and beg him to show mercy.

How could my father endure the pain of prison at his age? My nephews and nieces were still young, and they would be frightened by the sudden change. Those people were her relatives, and blood was thicker than water. Even if she had to sacrifice her own life, it would be fine if she could exchange her life for the safety of her relatives.

But Xie Yaoqing never saw Xiao Chengxu. She waited and waited, hoped and hoped, begged and begged, but in the end she got worse news and the ridicule and demonstration of Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was arrogant and complacent, as if the position of empress was already in her pocket. Her every move was very dignified and condescending, and she told Xie Yaoqing about her family's tragic end in a condescending tone.

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue. How could Xie Yaoqing not collapse? How could she not be disheartened?

She no longer had any confidence and could not imagine an impossible scenario.

Xiao Chengxu was indeed the person she loved, but her family was also her weak spot, and no one could touch them, not even if that person was Xiao Chengxu.

The once deep love turned into endless hatred in an instant, and Xie Yaoqing was filled with hatred for the murderer Xiao Chengxu.

And today, Xie Yaoqing finally got the belated answer, which can perhaps be called the truth.

It turned out that everything was just a play. The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion was safe and sound. After her death, it must have been still crowded and glorious. Only she died unjustly, while everyone else was still alive.

The corners of Xie Yaoqing's mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that seemed both happy and sad.

She should be happy, shouldn't she?

The people she cared about had not suffered any misfortune. Perhaps her death would bring them some pain and gloom, but it was only temporary. As time went by, they would gradually forget her. Her father would forget her as his daughter, her brothers would forget her as their sister, and her nephews and nieces would forget that they had ever had such an aunt.

Although this ending is not a family reunion, it is much better than the complete destruction of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. The family will not have to be reunited only in the afterlife.

But why hide it from her?

Such a big thing, and it also concerns her most important relatives, how could Xiao Chengxu treat her like this? He kept her in the dark, like a fool who knew nothing, and could only be helpless and furious, blaming herself and regretting, and suffering.

The sudden news that her relatives had met with an accident was like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart, bringing her excruciating pain.

And Xiao Chengxu actually kept it a secret from her. They had been married for twelve years. Didn't he know what kind of person she was? Was she such a cold-blooded person in his eyes that she didn't even care about the life and death of her loved ones?

She really didn't understand the things that happened in the court, but if it was just a play, but she was given a clear idea, wouldn't she cooperate? Although she was crazy, she hadn't lost all her reason and couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.

After all, it was because I was wary of her and didn't trust her.

As high as tomorrow and the moon, loved ones and couples.

This statement is so true.

Xie Yaoqing was thinking randomly, and without knowing when, her eyes were filled with tears.

A feeling of wanting to cry but being unable to cry lingers in my heart.

It seemed that she had not misjudged him. Xiao Chengxu was not so cold-blooded and heartless. He had some feelings for her. Or it was possible that he did not have feelings for her, but wanted to balance the court. The Yongchang Marquisate had done nothing wrong, so he could not easily sentence them. No matter what the reason was, the people she cared about were fine. This alone was a great blessing.

But she had never really seen Xiao Chengxu clearly. They slept in the same bed with him every night, but they had different dreams.

Xiao Chengxu was completely drunk, unconscious and delirious.

Xie Yaoqing tilted his head to look at him, then fiercely pushed him away and said loudly: "Someone come here."

Soon two young eunuchs came in.

Xie Yaoqing pointed at Xiao Chengxu and said, "The emperor is drunk and needs someone to serve him. Please place him in the side hall."

When the queen spoke, the two young eunuchs dared not disobey.

Feng An arrived late, holding a tray with a bowl of sobering soup in his hand.

"The Queen..."
