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

Upon hearing this, Xie Yaoqing sneered.

Forget it, just let Xiao Chengxu do whatever he wants. As an emperor, he is already used to being arbitrary and doing whatever he wants.

Xie Yaoqing was fixing her makeup in front of the mirror, when suddenly she caught a glimpse of the purse hanging on Xiao Chengxu's waist through the mirror and her brows raised slightly.

It was the purse she embroidered.

But she gave it to her lover, a heartless and unfeeling man is not worthy of her.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoqing suddenly felt malicious. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and tore the purse off Xiao Chengxu's body, then played with it casually in his hand.

Xiao Chengxu looked at Xie Yaoqing nervously and asked softly, "What's wrong? Qingqing, is there something wrong with your purse?"

Xie Yaoqing took a few glances.

The stitching on the purse is very ordinary, but the pattern on it - a few blooming plum blossoms - is well embroidered and vivid.

Although she was not skilled in knitting and was only barely good at needlework, practice makes perfect. After practicing more often, she was able to embroider the plum blossoms vividly and lifelike.

There is nothing wrong with the purse, it's just that it's an eyesore.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoqing said coldly: "Your Majesty, the purse is old and it is really difficult to match your noble status. It is better to change it and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a few new purses another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengxu quickly refused, "No."

There was obvious anxiety in his tone.

"It's still new, no need to change it."

Xiao Chengxu looked at the purse in Xie Yaoqing's hand. This purse was embroidered by Qingqing herself and given to him. If it was replaced, he was afraid that he would never get such a purse again in the future.

Qingqing will never embroider a purse for herself with love again.

However, when Xiao Chengxu looked into Xie Yaoqing's eyes, he noticed something strange - there seemed to be a determination to destroy everything hidden in them, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Really?" Xie Yaoqing asked back faintly, blinking gently.

After a pause, Xie Yaoqing said sincerely, "But I think it is really old, and the needlework is really ordinary, nothing special about it."

"It would be better to dispose of it, so as not to pollute the emperor's wisdom."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yaoqing took out a pair of scissors and with a few clicks, she cut the purse into several pieces in a neat and decisive manner.

The originally intact purse instantly became shattered into pieces, turning into several useless pieces of cloth.

Since there was nothing in the purse, Xie Yaoqing didn't have to go through the trouble of emptying the contents, so it was easy to cut, without any delay, and was done in one go.

Afterwards, the cut pieces of purse cloth were thrown on the ground at random, like the withered flowers falling from the branches in autumn.

Xie Yaoqing clapped his hands, a look of satisfaction on his face.

The gifts she gave were like spilled water, there was no reason to take them back, otherwise wouldn't she be a stingy person? It made people think she was stingy.

However, if the person who owns it is no longer worthy, then she does not mind destroying it and completely destroying it.

Fortunately, apart from embroidering a purse for Xiao Chengxu, she had never embroidered anything else, otherwise it would be too tedious and troublesome to destroy them one by one.

But it is not a big deal. After all, things will become worn out eventually. Once they are old, they can be discarded and will not be kept for too long. If she does not cut off the purse today, it will be discarded by Xiao Chengxu in the future.

Xie Yaoqing's gaze accidentally fell on Xiao Chengxu, and she saw that his face was as pale as paper, his lips were trembling slightly, his face was full of sorrow, and his brows could not help but frowned briefly.

It's just getting rid of a purse, not killing the parents. Does Xiao Chengxu have to act like he's in a great funeral?

Now he seems to value her purse very much, but in his previous life, Xiao Chengxu still accepted Concubine Qi's purse.

Concubine Qi was much better at needlework than her. The pictures she embroidered were mandarin ducks playing in the water and twin flowers in bloom. The meanings were also very good, expressing love and affection.

Xiao Chengxu closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes.

It's just a purse, nothing special. There's a long way to go, and when they can reconcile, Qingqing will embroider another purse for him, which will be much more beautiful than this one that has been cut into pieces.

But in the end, I still feel uneasy.

At a certain moment, Xiao Chengxu even wanted to disregard everything and reveal the secrets of his previous life. He wanted to tell Xie Yaoqing that he did not really massacre the entire Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. All the members of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion were loyal and righteous ministers who had stabilized the country and made great contributions to winning the war. They were ministers who had made great contributions to the country. How could he fail to distinguish right from wrong and confuse black and white and convict them based on just a complaint?

It was just a play, a play that he and Marquis Yongchang had discussed in advance.

In order to make the fake play real, no one knew about it except him and Marquis Yongchang, not even the queen.

But Qingqing is not only the queen, but also his first wife and the daughter of Marquis Yongchang. She should not be kept in the dark. On the contrary, being deceived would give people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and plot against Qingqing.

But no matter what, the decree to depose the empress was issued by him personally. It was not fake, and the imperial edict was stamped with the emperor's red seal.

He originally thought that Qingqing was too flamboyant and acted too recklessly, which was not what a queen should be. It would have been fine if she just quarreled and made trouble with him, but she even threatened to hurt herself and not let him have any contact with any concubines. She was suspicious all day long and her behavior was getting more and more crazy. If he allowed Qingqing to continue making trouble, who knew how the palace would be turned upside down. He couldn't stand Qingqing's gradually twisted personality, and he wished he could keep him under her eyes all the time so that she would know his every move, so he wanted to use the matter of deposing the queen to warn Qingqing and make her restrain herself.

The decree to depose the queen was not false, but he had never thought of really deposing her. If he could make Qingqing change her mind after some training, and wait until the previous dynasty was stable, he would issue an edict to restore Qingqing to the position of queen.

If there is someone who is as good as him, that person can only be the queen, his beloved.

But Qingqing attached so much importance to the position of queen that the decree to depose her pushed her further away.

However, Xiao Chengxu did not think about the fact that all of Xie Yaoqing's pride and self-confidence had been almost worn away by the increasing number of concubines in the harem year after year. Apart from still occupying the position of queen, she could not find any evidence that Xiao Chengxu still loved her. The position of queen was her last dignity, but later even that was taken away from her, and she became a commoner. It would be ridiculous to ask her to believe that her beloved husband still had a place for her in his heart.
