boom--

Gu Sang's words were like a slap in the face to everyone, making them wake up on the spot.

Couldn't the Emperor's actions now force them to recognize reality? Would they only believe it if their lives were completely destroyed and their entire clan was executed?

No!

I can no longer believe that Pei Chang won!

He is no longer worthy of their trust!

Father Zhao's lips trembled as he grasped his eldest son's hand. With red eyes, he looked at Gu Sang and asked tremblingly but with a hint of hope:

"Then can my daughter...can she be resurrected?"

"I know that you, Madam, have also been resurrected and returned to your modern afterlife."

"Then Rong Hua, can she come back to me?"

The words fell!

Everyone looked at Gu Sang in shock, nervousness, and hope.

Gu Sang, who was being closely watched, looked at an open space next to Zhao's father.

Gu Sang said calmly, "Uncle, life and death are determined by fate and cannot be reversed by human power, but I can tell you that Rong Hua will be reincarnated into the afterlife, and she will definitely be very happy in her next life!"

Be it future generations or future generations!

After all, the women there live happier and freer lives than here!

Hearing the answer he wanted, a trace of determination flashed across Father Zhao's eyes. With tears in his eyes, he bowed deeply to Gu Sang and said, "That's great. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don't call me Your Majesty from now on. There will no longer be a Pei Changying who keeps talking about the title of Imperial Concubine and forces you to admit that I am still his concubine."

"Okay! Thank you, Miss Gu!"

-

Imperial Palace.

Gu Qingrou listened to the news from the palace servants about Zhao Ronghua jumping off the city wall. Those ambitious and heroic words and that heroic act made her scalp tingle.

She had never thought that Concubine Zhao would do such a shocking thing!

In this deep palace.

Zhao Ronghua is the person who fears pain the most and is most greedy for the emperor's favor.

Gu Qingrou didn't understand why Zhao Ronghua was so determined to die.

Could it be that Gu Sang’s words about gender equality are so attractive that they can make people not even afraid of death?

"Zhao Ronghua, you...you are so stupid!"

"We were born to enjoy a better life than ordinary people, so naturally, everything we do should be considered for the sake of our family."

"You are so blatantly opposing the emperor. You deserve death, but have you ever thought that your family will be liquidated by the emperor?"

“Is it worth it? Is it worth it…?”

When she thought of Zhao Ronghua's suicide to prove his will, and the heartfelt words he said, Gu Qingrou felt a sense of suffocation in her heart and was inexplicably confused.

Looking at this magnificent palace and the red queen's ceremonial attire, this is the result of Gu Qingrou's struggle for half a lifetime.

She voluntarily flew into this cage and became a canary.

This is what she dreams of, and she should be satisfied.

But... at this moment, it seemed as if there were invisible ropes trapping her, suppressing her so much that she couldn't breathe and wanted to escape.

When Gu Qingrou came to her senses, she had already left the magnificent palace.

She arrived at the gate of Xuyang Palace, which she once hated the most.

"Empress Zhao, have a safe journey. I hope you will be reborn into a good family."

"Empress Zhao, the Zhao family has been released. You can leave with peace of mind. Take this money and use it to bribe the ghost messenger. May you be reborn in the afterlife."

"Wow, Concubine Li has been confined to her house. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't punish her with a cane. It must be the Concubine's blessing from heaven..."

These eunuchs and palace maids were all on duty in various palaces. They took advantage of the cover of night and secretly came to Xuyang Palace to worship.

Worshiping in the palace is a taboo.

If they are seen by a master, they are finished!

But they still risked being punished and volunteered to see Zhao Ronghua off for the last time.

Maybe;

To some extent, Zhao Ronghua's leap was successful!

"Your Majesty, these servants are so bold that they dare to worship in the palace. This is a serious taboo. Do you want to—"

Gu Qingrou raised her hand to interrupt the senior palace maid next to her. She lowered her eyes, and several emotions flashed through her heart. She suddenly felt so tired.

She clearly sat on the throne of queen and clearly obtained the most honorable status!

It is clear that I am in a husband-and-wife relationship with the person I love most!

Why is it so depressing?

"Go back."

"I'm tired, just pretend you didn't see it."

Gu Qingrou took a deep look at the palace gate, as if she was looking at something very far away. That thing seemed to be very close to her, yet seemed to be far away in the horizon.

What is it?

She had been imprisoned in the golden cage for so long that she couldn't even remember...
