Xiao Chengxu stood up suddenly, and Xie Yaoqing thought he was angry, and finally couldn't stand the provocation and wanted to leave in anger. After all, he was the emperor, how could he tolerate his humiliation?

However, Xiao Chengxu did not leave in anger as she thought. He walked quickly and arrived in front of Xie Yaoqing in the blink of an eye. Then he hugged Xie Yaoqing tightly in his arms. His movements were so eager, as if he had been waiting for this hug for a long time.

Burying his head on Xie Yaoqing's neck, Xiao Chengxu gently sniffed the elegant fragrance emanating from the woman in his arms. The fresh breath intoxicated him and he couldn't help himself. Feeling the warmth of the body in his arms, the missing piece in his heart was finally filled and complete.

At this moment, Xiao Chengxu had never felt so clearly that his beloved was by his side.

Even though the person he loved might hate him, resent him, or even want to kill him to vent her anger, it didn't matter anymore. As long as she was by his side, as long as he still had a breath left, he would never let go.

Xiao Chengxu has always known that he is a selfish person. In order to get what he wants, he will do whatever it takes.

"If I did something wrong, then Qingqing... can you punish me to vent my anger? Just don't chase me away." Xiao Chengxu whispered softly in Xie Yaoqing's ear.

The deep and hoarse voice was full of pleading and attachment.

Xie Yaoqing felt a hot breath blowing on her neck, but she didn't move at all, just snorted coldly. Then, she raised her foot and stepped down hard, accurately stepping on Xiao Chengxu's left foot, and then took advantage of the moment when Xiao Chengxu relaxed his strength due to the pain, Xie Yaoqing pushed him away without hesitation.

Didn't she give Xiao Chengxu face? She even touched her and hugged her, letting him take advantage of her.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

Xie Yaoqing stood at least three meters away from Xiao Chengxu, his face full of anger and vigilance.

Xiao Chengxu was stunned for a moment, his eyes revealing deep powerlessness and pain.

How ridiculous! She was his legally married wife and they should have been the closest people in the world, but now he was regarded as a scourge and a playboy, and people avoided him.

That's it.

Xiao Chengxu took one last deep look at Xie Yaoqing, with loneliness and reluctance flashing in his eyes, and then he turned and left.

If he continued to stay in Kunning Palace, it would only make Qingqing feel unhappy and troubled, so he should leave.

He once made a vow before the Buddha that if there was a chance to make amends, he would make sure Qingqing had everything she wanted, except for the fact that Qingqing left him.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he heard a "click" sound behind him, and the door closed tightly. The movement was clean and neat, without any delay, as if it was waiting for him to leave before closing the door.

The corners of Xiao Chengxu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile.

The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and everything was quiet. Xiao Chengxu did not take a sedan chair, but walked slowly on the path, followed only by Feng An.

Xiao Chengxu's steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. As he walked, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky, not knowing whether he was looking at the twinkling stars, or the cold and bright moon hanging high in the sky, or perhaps neither, but just staring blankly into the endless void.

After a long time, Xiao Chengxu sighed softly. That sigh was like smoke in the wind, fleeting, and soon blown away by the wind, disappearing without a trace.

"Feng'an, what do you think I should do to make the Queen forgive me?" Xiao Chengxu asked with a worried look on his face, his tone full of anxiety.

Feng'an had no idea about the entanglements in the previous life. He just thought that the two masters were having a conflict, but this time the conflict was bigger, so the Queen Mother was angrier than ever and even didn't want the Emperor to stay overnight in Kunning Palace.

After thinking for a moment, Feng An replied cautiously: "In my humble opinion, the emperor can give the queen some things she likes, such as jewelry, rare antiques, etc. Once the queen is happy, she may be able to make peace with the emperor. The queen is a very reasonable person."

"Let go of past grudges..."

Xiao Chengxu murmured the word in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He also wanted to reconcile with the Queen, but how easy was it?

In his previous life, he broke the Queen's heart. If he was the only one who had memories of his previous life, perhaps...

But the queen was just like him, she remembered everything and was reborn with hatred towards him.

Even a dead tree can sprout in spring and regain its vitality one day, so can a heart that has dried up to death be revived again? No one can give a definite answer to this question.

Yongchang Houfu.

The three father and sons sat together in the study. Everyone looked unhappy and the atmosphere was solemn. On the desk in front of them was a letter that had already been opened.

Xie Yichen frowned and picked up the letter again to look at it carefully.

The more he read, the more puzzled he became. He even began to doubt whether this letter was really written by the Queen. If he was not very familiar with the Queen's handwriting, he would have mistaken it for a fake letter.

"Dad, big brother, tell me, what is the Empress thinking? Canceling the beauty pageant is obviously a good thing. This way, the number of people in the harem can be reduced, and the Empress can be a little more relaxed. But why does she ask us to write a letter to the Emperor to beg him to resume the beauty pageant? I heard that the Minister of Works who advised the Emperor to continue the beauty pageant even lost his official position. I'm afraid he is now writing a memorial to resign and retire." Xie Yichen said with confusion.

"Could it be that the Queen has been upset by something? Otherwise, why would she be so depressed?" Xie Yichen guessed.

Upon hearing this, Yongchang Hou slapped Xie Yichen in anger and scolded him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is not someone you can just make up."

Xie Yichen smiled awkwardly and touched his forehead, thinking that his father was still merciless. He was probably going to get a bump on his head again. Was this the treatment for his biological son? He could beat him whenever he wanted. What if he was beaten stupid? He was not as smart as his elder and second brothers. His brain was not that sharp.
