Mu Xuechu stood outside the door for a long time holding the imperial decree, until the door opened with a creak.
Shen Chi walked in from inside. He glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict in Mu Xuechu's hand. The color hurt his eyes and heart even more.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "He was willing to let you go that night. He must have already planned this, right? And you already knew that, right?"
Mu Xuechu lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Shen Chi was in great pain. He walked forward and hugged her and said, "Are you trying to push me away again? You said you would give me a child, do you still count?"
Mu Xuechu burst into tears. She stretched out her hand to push Shen Chi away and said, "If you don't count, you won't count anything. Just think of it as a dream."
Shen Chi stood stiffly on the spot.
Mu Xuechu cried: "Chen Chi, please, forget me."
"good."
Shen Chi smiled slightly, his eyes were red but he resisted crying. He walked to Mu Xuechu and stretched out his hand to caress her cheek and said: "I will be satisfied knowing that you have me in your heart. Marry me." You have suffered a lot of grievances because I, Chen Chi, am incompetent and unable to protect you. For the rest of my life, I only hope that you will be safe and go well and everything will go as you wish."
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, and then said: "I won't come to you again, take care of yourself."
After leaving these words, he turned around and strode out.
But as soon as he left, Mu Xuechu could no longer bear it, fell to the ground, covered her face and cried loudly. Outside the courtyard gate, Mu Yun'an was standing outside.
She came to persuade her because she was worried that her aunt would do something stupid. Unexpectedly, she saw her and Shen Chi saying goodbye. She could tell that the two people were in love with each other and had already solved the knot, but Nature plays tricks on people.
As the daughter of the Mu family, she is destined to never have peace in this life.
Chen Chi walked up to Mu Yun'an, looked back at Mu Xuechu, then looked back with tears in his eyes, and whispered to Mu Yun'an: "Help me take care of her."
Mu Yun'an nodded, and she watched Shen Chi leave without looking back. He was walking so decisively, as if he was walking on a road of no return.
At this moment, her heart was heavy, and she suddenly understood another realm of love.
To love to the extreme is to let go.
...
Royal Palace.
The night is already dark.
A woman in a cloak held an orange lantern in her hand and walked in the silent alley. She stepped on the moonlight and passed through the gorgeous palace walls, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated palace gate.
Under the moonlight, the word "Leng Palace" was written on the crooked plaque. She took out a key, opened the locked palace door, and walked in.
In the room facing the door, a dim candle was lit, and a figure could be vaguely seen reflected in the window.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Queen Han, who was locked inside, turned her head when she heard the sound. She was not surprised at all when she saw the person coming, and just said softly: "You're here."
The woman opened her cloak, revealing Concubine Yan's beautiful face. She blew out the lantern and put it on the table. Then she walked over and said, "You are also very capable. Even though you are locked up here, you can still get someone to send me a message." .”
Queen Han chuckled softly: "It's not for nothing that I have been a queen for more than ten years."
