Father Bai frowned and was about to say something, but Mother Bai slapped him away. She stood up and sat on the sofa next to Xie Qi, asking distressedly, "You said you've been wandering for thousands of years. What were your and his identities in your previous life?"

While Bai's mother was heartbroken and sad, she also wanted to know why this tragic love story could make one person wait for another for thousands of years.

Father Bai still refused to give up and asked, "Thousands of years? That must have been ancient times. In ancient times, there would be gossip when two men were in love, but if your relationship was really that good, why didn't you leave? There was no internet back then, and leaving wouldn't affect you. You could just find somewhere else and continue living. How could you be forced to slit your throat? It's full of loopholes."

948 watched the show from the side: "Oh~, host, your story is about to be exposed."

Xie Qi forced himself to remain calm, but the sadness on his face deepened. He clenched his hands, lowered his head, and his voice was almost hoarse from excessive sadness. "We all wanted to leave, but I was the emperor and he was a subject. In that deep palace, neither of us could leave. Later, the ministers used the natural disaster as an excuse, saying that I had left his harem empty because of him, which angered the heavens, and that was why the natural disaster was sent down. They said he was bringing disaster upon the country and the people..."

Father Bai: "So you gave up on him for the sake of the world?"

Xie Qi: "How is that possible! I have already written the abdication edict. As long as I don't become the emperor, I can take him away. But before I was ready, he chose death to protect me. After his death, I didn't live alone, I followed him. Because my obsession was too deep, I became a lonely soul."

At this moment, Bai's mother had completely believed what Xie Qi said. The more she listened, the more tears she shed: "Wow, even as the emperor, I can't help myself. I can't even protect the people I love the most. Wow, it's so painful."

Seeing Bai's mother like this, Xie Qi quickly pulled out a few tissues from the table and handed them to Bai's mother.

When Father Bai saw Mother Bai like this, he sat over and comforted her softly. At this moment, he was already 70% convinced of what Xie Qi said.
