Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao watched helplessly as her two beloved sons walked further and further away until they finally disappeared from her sight. She slowly got off the bed and walked towards the outer room with slightly heavy steps.

Arriving at the desk, Qingyao gently raised her hand and slowly ground the inkstone. The fragrance of the ink gradually spread, seemingly enveloping the entire room. Once the ink reached a moderate thickness, she gently picked up her brush and wrote.

Qingyao took a deep breath and began writing on the pristine white letter paper. Lines of beautiful handwriting flowed across the paper like flowing water. After finishing the letter, Qingyao quietly waited for the ink to dry. Time flew by, and finally, the ink was completely dry. She carefully folded the letter and gently placed it in a delicate envelope.

Then, Qingyao called out softly, "Someone come!" As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure appeared in front of her like a ghost. It turned out to be the secret guard who had been hiding in the shadows to protect her.

Qingyao stared at the secret guard in front of her, and said calmly and firmly: "I know that you have a way to contact your master. Now I give this letter to you, please be sure to hand it to him personally. After completing the task, you don't need to come back here." After that, she handed the envelope in her hand to the secret guard.

The secret guard took the envelope with both hands, bowed and said, "As you command!

After the secret guard took the order and left, Qingyao stood alone in the room with a look of determination in her eyes. She knew that once this letter was sent out, her future would become more difficult, but she did not regret it.

The secret guards rode at full speed to where Kangxi was and respectfully presented the letter. Kangxi slowly unfolded the letter, his eyes falling on the paper, and lines of beautiful handwriting came into view.

The words in the letter were like sharp blades, piercing his heart: "Let's divorce. This is not my fault. Just think I'm jealous and give me a letter of divorce, so that I can be free from it. Now that you have a beautiful woman by your side, gentle and affectionate, you naturally no longer need me. And I will just pretend that the husband who once loved me deeply has completely disappeared from my world.

"You enjoy traveling and being free, so don't return to the capital. If this birth doesn't go smoothly, or if I encounter any misfortune, please don't bury me with you. I simply don't want to be buried with you after death. Let us return to dust, and rest in peace."

After reading the letter, Kangxi's face turned pale and his hands clenched unconsciously. He never expected Qingyao to be so resolute.

"Pass on my order and return to the palace!" Kangxi ordered loudly. He was extremely anxious along the way, and his mind kept replaying every detail of his past with Qingyao.

Qingyao, on the other hand, had already made preparations for everything. She left behind her maidservant, and spent her days quietly reading and painting, as if the outside world had nothing to do with her.

Kangxi returned to the capital and headed straight for the Hesheli Mansion. Seeing Qingyao's emaciated face, a pang of pain pierced his heart. "I will not agree to a divorce. We've been married for so many years, how can you just say goodbye?" Qingyao sneered, "Your Majesty, why force me? A forced melon is not sweet." Kangxi stepped forward and shook Qingyao's hand tightly. "I know I was wrong about what happened in Hangzhou, but I still have you in my heart. As long as you don't mention divorce again, I promise to treat you well in the future." Qingyao's eyes flickered with hesitation, but she quickly regained her resolve: "Your Majesty, please don't say anymore. I have made up my mind." Kangxi looked at her and secretly resolved to save this relationship.

Kangxi knew that empty words would not move Qingyao, so he turned and ordered the eunuch: "Go and bring me the South China Sea Night Pearl that I found a few days ago." After a while, the night pearl was delivered, emitting a soft light. Kangxi held the pearl and handed it to Qingyao, "I found this especially for you. I wanted to find a suitable time to give it to you to show my love." Qingyao turned her head away, not looking at the pearl. "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" Kangxi took Qingyao's hand and forced the pearl into her palm. "I know I was wrong. This pearl is a token of my love. I will never let you suffer any more injustice in the future."

Qingyao slowly raised her hand and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes revealing a complex emotion. She took a deep breath, then spoke to Kangxi in a calm yet resolute tone, "Your Majesty, you can now find another woman to accompany you. I think it's time for us to end our relationship. How about a divorce? Remember the three rules I agreed upon with you when I left the capital? However, you have now broken your promise. In that case, from now on, let us not see each other again." Qingyao's voice trembled slightly at the end, but she still tried to remain calm.
