As August approaches, the sweet-scented osmanthus fills the air.

The early morning drizzle wet the banana trees outside the window, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

In a courtyard with three entrances and three exits located on the long street in the center of Shuanghua Town, Luo Xueqing was boiling water and making tea.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Sister Xi Fei, you look much plumper now!"

Du Yanhe laughed in silence and touched her nose helplessly.

"You mean fellow!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid he has guessed it."

After sitting down, Du Yanhe looked into her eyes and explained her purpose.

"Ten days ago, Young Master Yan broke into the palace alone with the intention of assassinating Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty seems to have been prepared."

"Lord Lin deliberately revealed that Young Master Yan is now imprisoned in Chengqian Palace..."

Luo Xueqing lowered her head and poured herself a cup of tea, sighing with a melancholy tone.

"He's forcing me to go back."

Chuntao, brother Xuchao and sister Xifei...

Di Jingyan knew Luo Xueqing's weakness, so he was reluctant to announce the death of Concubine Yu.

"What are you going to do next?"

Du Yanhe looked at her deeply, and then whispered, "Sister Xueqing, there is a misunderstanding between you and His Majesty."

"Why not take this opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding?"

"Your Majesty is a very stubborn person!"

"He still refuses to hold a funeral for Concubine Yu who died in the fire... I guess he didn't believe you would die in the fire from the beginning."

"I thought the problem was too simple."

Luo Xueqing lowered her brows helplessly and smiled bitterly.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the coup to create a good opportunity to leave the palace, but now it seems that everything has loopholes.

"Sister Xi Fei, please help convey a message."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Emperor Jingyan, who was reviewing memorials, nodded slightly after listening to what Concubine Xi said.

"I understand."

"I will keep the appointment in three days."

Looking at Di Jingyan's calm expression, Concubine Xi pursed her lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

"Do you have anything else?"

"Your Majesty...why not dismiss the six palaces?" Concubine Xi thought for a moment and said what she wanted to say, "Now the sisters in the harem are waiting for you..."

Di Jingyan's expression was unpredictable, and he finally cast a cold gaze on Concubine Xi's face.

"Your Majesty, Sister Xueqing may seem heartless, but she is actually stubborn. The love she wants is pure, without any impurities!"

After saying these words, Concubine Xi turned and left.

tick-tock-

It's raining outside the window again.

Di Jingyan's heart also gradually sank.

It was just a test at first, but now he knows that Luo Xueqing would rather die than stay in the palace.

……

The three days passed in a flash.

Linjianglou is located in the center of Suzaku Street, the most lively street in Kyoto.

The box on the second floor has a very wide view.

Luo Xueqing leaned lazily against the window, eating melon seeds and looking at the center of the stage downstairs.

The song being sung in the restaurant today is The Empty City Strategy.

"I sat on the tower and watched the mountain scenery, and heard..."

A familiar sound of heavy footsteps was heard behind her. Luo Xueqing slowly turned around and smiled at the person who came.

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

Looking at her smiling face, Di Jingyan felt mixed emotions.

But in the blink of an eye, his eyes turned red.

He approached step by step.

Luo Xueqing smiled faintly and looked at him with the same eyes as always.

"why?"

Di Jingyan stared into her eyes and questioned in a deep voice.

"Luo Xueqing, why did you lie to me?"

"Why do you want to leave the palace?"

"Woman, do you have a heart?"

Faced with his series of questions, Luo Xueqing just shrugged helplessly and handed him a cup of hot tea.

"Your Majesty, before I answer these questions, could you please answer a question for me first?"

Di Jingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her face thoughtfully.

"That day, when I disguised myself as Princess Liyang and went to the Cining Palace alone, what were you thinking, Your Majesty?"

"Are you thinking that as a soul from another world, I am an alien?"

"I won't die, and I won't get hurt."

"Your Majesty, you can hear my voice early in the morning."

“What I think is completely different from what I show.”

"So, in front of His Majesty, am I like a monkey seeking attention?"

"You just asked me if I have a heart. I can answer that question for you."

"Di Jingyan, I admit that I didn't take you seriously at first. After all, in my subjective opinion, you are just a paper man in a book."

"But then, I did something stupid and I fell in love."

“This is a very scary thing for me.”

At this moment, Di Jingyan's silence was deafening.

Luo Xueqing smiled slightly and invited him to have tea.

"Di Jingyan, I don't like the palace."

"Chun Tao, Yan Xuchao and the others are all innocent. Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler who loves the people. Why don't you let them go?"

Di Jingyan remained silent and did not speak.

Finally, his eyes fell on her bulging belly.

"I can let them go."

"The premise is that you return to the palace with me."

Hearing this, Luo Xueqing was slightly startled by the thing in her hand. Finally, she looked up at him, with a helpless arc at the corner of her lips, "Does it have to be like this?"

Early September.

Luo Xueqing moved back to the newly renovated Chengqian Palace.

"Empress?" Looking at the smile on Chuntao's face that was uglier than crying, Luo Xueqing couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's all my fault!"

"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"

Luo Xueqing pinched her face unhappily.

"Why have you lost so much weight? I'll punish you by making you eat two chicken legs for lunch today!"

"…My lady, if you feel sad, just cry."

"Sad? Why should I be sad?"

Luo Xueqing shrugged helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

The day after Luo Xueqing returned to the palace, Emperor Jingyan issued an edict to confer the title of Concubine Xue on her.

In addition, Emperor Jingyan actually issued an edict to disband the harem.

Now, in the huge harem, there is only one concubine left, Luo Xueqing.

"…Has His Majesty been here?"

Before leaving, Concubine Xi and Concubine Li came to Chengqian Palace together.

The outspoken Concubine Li couldn't help but sneer at Luo Xueqing, "I didn't expect that the person who laughs last is you!"

"Next, as long as you give birth to a prince successfully, the position of queen will be set in stone!"

"Are you jealous, Sister Li Fei?" Luo Xueqing smiled and asked softly.

"I'm not envious! My brother has said that after I leave the palace, he will take me to travel around. Maybe I can even see some foreign things!" Concubine Li said proudly, "The four words 'Empress Li' sound noble and majestic, but in fact, there is no freedom at all!"

"...After comparing them like this, Luo Xueqing, I suddenly feel a little sympathetic towards you!"

"Alright, alright, sister Li Fei, please say less!" Concubine Xi said in a deep voice with a frown on her face.

"By the way, our milk tea shop is doing good business. I believe it won't be long before we can get the first dividend!"

"That's great!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
