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

Although Xie Yaoqing had long guessed from Xiao Chengxu's various behaviors that he must have regretted his past life, seeing is believing. When she saw this scene with her own eyes, she was still deeply touched.

A hint of sarcasm gradually emerged in Xie Yaoqing's dark and bright eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was cold, and the smile did not extend to his eyes at all.

Xiao Chengxu's appearance at this moment seemed to be pretending.

It's regretful, but it's too late.

If Xiao Chengxu had opened his mouth one more time, said a few more words, and given her a little more hope when she was alive, things might not have come to this.

However, fate plays tricks on us.

When she wanted to hear Xiao Chengxu's heartfelt words, she tried her best but couldn't hear a word.

But now that she could no longer hear, no matter how much Xiao Chengxu said, it would be in vain.

However, Xie Yaoqing no longer has much anger or resentment.

What happened in the previous life ended up in a life and death situation. Xiao Chengxu was certainly wrong, but was she completely blameless?

Xie Yaoqing asked himself silently in his heart.

no.

of course not.

Is there anyone in this world who is perfect and without fault? Even saints make mistakes, let alone ordinary people.

After careful consideration, Xie Yaoqing discovered that he also had many problems.

Xie Yaoqing was not the kind of person who was keen on self-reflection. After all, who would want to dwell on their mistakes all day long? But she knew very well that her way of doing things was too extreme. She could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, but she forced herself to do things against her will, which led to a lot of anger in her heart.

In fact, the seeds of separation have been planted unknowingly. As time goes by, they gradually take root in the heart, waiting for a suitable opportunity and fuse to suddenly explode.

As the saying goes, "It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick."

The past is like smoke and clouds, and has become the past. Xie Yaoqing really doesn't want to recall it too much, let alone mention those unpleasant memories. If this time was not a dream, and the dream was not under her control, Xie Yaoqing would not let herself think of the past life that was unbearable to look back on.

Xie Yaoqing had mixed feelings in his heart, which eventually turned into a helpless sigh.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party couldn't see her, Xie Yaoqing walked directly to, or rather floated to, Xiao Chengxu's side and looked at him carefully from a close distance.

After taking a closer look, Xie Yaoqing noticed something unusual.

Was it her illusion? Or was it because of the light in the underground palace? She always felt that Xiao Chengxu's face seemed a little strange. He looked haggard and gaunt, as if he would fall down if the wind blew. He was so thin that he didn't look like a human.

Xie Yaoqing frowned slightly.

She wanted to ask Xiao Chengxu what had happened and why he became like this, but she knew it was useless to ask because Xiao Chengxu couldn't hear her at all.

Xie Yaoqing quietly watched Xiao Chengxu standing in front of the coffin for a long time, with his head lowered, as if frozen, staring at the person in the coffin without any movement in his eyes. Just as she gradually became impatient and her thoughts began to drift, wondering when this dream would end, Xiao Chengxu finally made a move.

He suddenly turned over and jumped into the coffin, landing steadily on the empty side of the coffin, right next to the deceased Xie Yaoqing. Then, he reached out and gently held the cold, temperatureless hand, stroking the equally cold face, with a tender and intimate gesture, as if he was carefully caring for his beloved.

This sudden scene made Xie Yaoqing open his eyes wide in shock, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

She couldn't help but wonder secretly, is Xiao Chengxu mentally ill?

After all, if it was a dead person, lying in a coffin was a natural and reasonable thing. However, it was really unbelievable that a living person also lay in it.

Don’t you think it’s unlucky?

It's like he's hoping to die soon, which is really puzzling.

And it would be fine if he was just lying in the coffin, but there was a corpse in the coffin, which was simply chilling. Just thinking about it would make one's hair stand on end, and one would get goose bumps all over one's body, and even one's hair would go numb.

Anyway, Xie Yaoqing thought that she would never do such a thing.

In the eyes of the world, Xiao Chengxu's behavior was either outrageous and absurd or shocking.

If the ministers of the previous dynasty knew about this, they would probably be scared to death. They might even doubt whether the monarch they were loyal to was a wise and enlightened monarch, and wonder whether the person sitting on the dragon throne was a human or a ghost who had returned to life in human skin?

In any case, Xiao Chengxu's behavior was so strange that Xie Yaoqing determined that he must have a problem with his brain. Even if he was not sick, he was sick in her eyes.

Because any normal person would have buried her long ago, why bother with all this? Not only did they preserve her body intact, as if she were alive, but they also put her in the same coffin with a dead person. This kind of thing doesn't seem like something a normal person would do.

So that's why. No wonder this underground palace was built directly in Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace is very close to Qianqing Palace, and it is also where she lived before her death. Naturally, it is the most suitable place. If such an underground palace was built in the royal mausoleum, then Xiao Chengxu would not be able to hang around in front of her every day like he does now. An emperor cannot go to the imperial mausoleum every few days.

Xie Yaoqing thought to herself that her real body was still in the palace. But for the outside world, there must be a reasonable explanation. After all, as the mother of a country, how could she disappear for no reason? If she was really gone, there must be a funeral. Could it be that there was only an empty coffin buried in the imperial mausoleum? Or was it simply a cenotaph?

Whether it is an empty coffin or a cenotaph, it is enough to conceal the truth. As long as the grave is not dug up, it will be difficult to find the problem.

Xie Yaoqing saw with her own eyes that Xiao Chengxu was sleeping in the coffin, and she also heard him talking to himself for a long time, most of which were reminiscing about the good old days when they were in love under the moonlight.

It was also through Xiao Chengxu's chattering that she finally understood why Xiao Chengxu had asked the late emperor for permission to allow them to get married among so many noble women in the capital.

She didn't know that just a single meeting had made Xiao Chengxu want to marry her. This showed that Xiao Chengxu didn't marry her just because of the power of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. This discovery made Xie Yaoqing feel better.

If Xiao Chengxu simply wanted a Yue family with a deep foundation that could support him, and the Yongchang Marquisate just met his needs, and she was the only unmarried girl in the mansion, so she became the Fifth Prince's consort, even if Xiao Chengxu did have feelings for her later, Xie Yaoqing would always have a thorn in her heart.

If that were true, then her marriage would be a complete scam, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a joke.

"Love at first sight, to put it nicely, isn't it just lust for sex?" Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but sneered.

In that situation, Xiao Chengxu only caught a quick glimpse of her face and had no idea about her behavior, personality, and temper.

If this kind of love at first sight is not because of being attracted by beauty, then what else could it be?

If she was ugly, plain-looking, stout, big-armed, more masculine than a man, with black moles all over her face, making it hard to look at her, would Xiao Chengxu still have feelings for her? Would he still fall in love at first sight?

I'm afraid he would just regard her as a scourge, stay away from her, and even curse her in his heart for being unlucky.

But it is also human nature. People tend to look at appearance, regardless of whether they are men or women. If Xiao Chengxu had a rough appearance, although there would not be prejudice against him, people would not have much good impression of him at the beginning.
