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

Xiao Chengxu was so choked that he couldn't utter a word. He lowered his eyes silently, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The bowl of sour plum soup was never served. Xiao Chengxu didn't feel full until the end, but he finished his meal early.

Xie Yaoqing didn't bother to care about Xiao Chengxu, she was enjoying her meal anyway.

If Xiao Chengxu came to bother her while she was eating again in the future, she wouldn't mind eating spicy food every meal. She wouldn't be the one suffering. Instead, eating spicy food would be a pleasure for her.

Half an hour later.

Seeing that Xiao Chengxu was still standing in front of her like a piece of wood, with no sign of leaving, Xie Yaoqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and frowned slightly.

"Isn't the Emperor going back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

Xie Yaoqing was too lazy to hint at anything further and asked directly, the intention to drive him away in his words couldn't be more obvious.

Xiao Chengxu had been sitting quietly not far from her, staring at Xie Yaoqing without blinking, but when he heard her words, his eyes immediately became dim, and after a long while he whispered, "No, I...I want to stay here with Qingqing tonight."

Xie Yaoqing decisively shook her head and refused: "I feel a little unwell, I am afraid I can't serve the emperor properly, please turn over the green cards of other concubines and call them to serve you."

Xiao Chengxu quickly waved his hand and said, "No need for anyone else, just Qingqing is enough."

Xie Yaoqing thought about it for a moment and soon realized that Xiao Chengxu was still in a state of amnesia, thinking that he was still in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

At that time, apart from her, Xiao Chengxu had no other women around him in the mansion, let alone concubines or maids. He didn't even have a maid.

"Has the emperor forgotten again? Now there are many concubines in the palace. The noble concubine is charming, the Zhuang concubine is heroic, the Jing concubine is gentle and graceful... Each of them is from a famous family and has a beautiful appearance. The emperor can summon whoever he likes to sleep with him."

As he spoke, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy deep in his heart.

However, what made her jealous this time was not the ambitious concubines in the palace who were vying for favor, but Xiao Chengxu.

It must be said that Xiao Chengxu was extremely lucky to be able to legitimately take in so many beautiful concubines. Each of them was beautiful in her own way. As the saying goes, food, sex and nature are all important. If it were her, she would probably be happy to keep a group of beauties to serve her.

Why didn’t she keep a few handsome lovers? After seeing Xiao Chengxu’s face for a while, it would be good to look at a more pleasing face.

Xiao Chengxu looked bitter, and whispered softly: "Qingqing, do you have to say this to tear my heart out? I will never touch them. I am sorry for you and I shouldn't have taken concubines, but I really don't have the intention to favor them. I will send them out of the palace immediately."

Xie Yaoqing pouted slightly and responded impatiently: "Your Majesty's words are really unbearable for me. As a monarch, it is natural for me to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. How dare I feel resentful?"

And dismissed the concubines from the palace?

Xie Yaoqing found it ridiculous when he thought about it.

It's obviously something that can't be done, but you still have to say it out loud. Isn't this just an annoyance?

After all the concubines were taken away, could they still be dismissed? Would the families behind the concubines agree to this? Could they just let it go?

Don't push her out as a shield again, and make her appear as a jealous and intolerant queen, who not only prevents the emperor from selecting concubines, but also forces the emperor to expel the concubines who have already entered the harem.

Why didn't you take a tougher stance at the beginning and just not accept it?

So Xie Yaoqing just felt that Xiao Chengxu was just bragging to fool her. Did Xiao Chengxu think that she was still so ignorant that she would risk her life for a word from him?

Xie Yaoqing, who loved Xiao Chengxu wholeheartedly, is dead, strangled to death by Xiao Chengxu himself in the deep palace.

"It's getting late. Hurry up and escort the emperor back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to rest."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengxu glanced at Feng An coldly.

Feng Andun, who was called, felt a chill on his back and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Feng An secretly complained in his heart,

This is really difficult to do.

He is too difficult.

Obviously, the emperor didn't want to go back to the Qianqing Palace at all, and only wanted to stay with the Empress.

But the Empress' attitude was also very clear. She didn't like the Emperor, didn't want him to stay overnight, and even hoped that he would leave early.

The two masters were quarreling, the gods were fighting, but why did they involve an innocent servant like him?

"Qingqing, I'm not going back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I want to stay here."

Xiao Chengxu had already thrown his face away. Xie Yaoqing had clearly stated that she wanted to kick him out, and the words "not welcome" were clearly written on her face, but he still shamelessly insisted on staying.

For Xiao Chengxu, getting something and then losing it is undoubtedly the most painful thing in life; however, if he can be lucky enough to get it back after losing it, it will definitely be a great blessing. How many people in the world can have such luck as him and can start over again? There are countless people for whom regret is of no avail, just like him before.

Therefore, Xiao Chengxu must seize every opportunity, cherish it, and not be careless at all.

Since the moment he stepped into the gate of Kunning Palace and saw Xie Yaoqing, Xiao Chengxu's eyes had hardly left her, always following her closely, as if he was afraid that if he was careless, the person in front of him would disappear out of thin air, leaving only an illusory dream. Once he woke up from the dream, nothing would exist anymore.

However, Xiao Chengxu could clearly distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.

Because his queen, his beloved, is the most cruel when she becomes cruel.

Seven years, a full seven years. In the seven years since Qingqing left him, he was so heartless and cruel that he never even dreamed of her. Even if he wanted to see Qingqing in his dreams, he couldn't see her. It was completely a fate that they would never see each other again in this life or the next.

"I don't want to."

Xie Yaoqing's voice was as cold as ice, and her eyes revealed a hint of impatience and indifference. She raised her chin slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, and she had no intention of lingering for the person in front of her.

Xiao Chengxu's eyes instantly turned red, and a thin mist flashed across them.

"Did I... do something wrong? Why did I make Qingqing so unhappy and angry?" Xiao Chengxu asked softly, with a slight tremor in his tone.

Xie Yaoqing raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Yes, so Your Majesty should have some self-awareness and not make trouble for yourself. I am a petty person and I bear grudges. If Your Majesty insists on staying, I can't guarantee that I won't lose control of my emotions and do something rebellious. By then, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's health will be in danger."

In the past, she had been dealing with Xiao Chengxu only because she wanted to use him to have a child, after all, she couldn't have one on her own.

But there is no need for that now. My body has not been properly recovered yet, and it is still unknown whether I can get pregnant. It will be useless even if I do that thing in bed with Xiao Chengxu.
