After Xiao Luochen returned to the imperial study from the Cining Palace, he has been staying here.

Until late at night.

He stopped reviewing memorials and just looked at the pen in his hand. He had broken it in anger the night Sheng Wu pretended to seduce him and provoke him.

The documents were filled with writing. Sheng Wu had already planned what positions the concubines selected into the palace would have in order to most easily restrain each other, and to ensure a balance of power between the court and the harem.

The handwriting on it was delicate and gentle, which was very different from her usual arrogant and domineering appearance.

Xiao Luochen's eagle eyes, which had not slept for a long time, were drooping in a daze. It was hard to see the guilt in his expression, but it could also make people feel a sense of desolate sadness of loneliness.

There were obvious bloodshot at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to be devastated.

Xiao Luochen slowly turned the broken pen with stiff movements. In his mind, he could see the vivid image of Sheng Wu provoking him arrogantly that night.

At that time, he just felt that the face was disgusting.

However, he could no longer meet them again and could only recall the amazing scene.

In fact, when he first met her at the General's Mansion, he did pay some attention to her charming appearance.

But, I missed it again and again.

She loves me deeply. If I could trust her from the beginning, wouldn't she...

The chief steward standing next to him frowned and moved his lips. He hesitated for half an hour before deciding to step forward.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything today. It's time to eat something. Otherwise, if you collapse from exhaustion, there will be no one to take charge of the Empress Dowager's affairs."

As expected of someone who has always been by Xiao Luochen's side, he grasped exactly what Xiao Luochen cared about the moment he opened his mouth.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Luochen's pupils moved slightly, but he did not raise his head. Instead, he spoke hoarsely through his dry throat, which had not been able to take a single drop of water.

"Do you think she would feel lonely underground and angry because no one would serve her?"

This woman has always been pampered and lived a life of luxury. Everything she uses is of the finest quality and quite precious.

If I were to go underground alone like this, I'm afraid I would curse myself.

Even though he didn't mention anyone by name, the chief steward knew that he was talking about Sheng Wu.

He opened his mouth but still sighed.

"I'm afraid I can't answer this."

He watched the emperor grow up, and over the years, the emperor had never been so moved by any woman.

But fate played such a trick on her. She was supposed to be his Crown Princess, but suddenly she became his Queen Mother, and the relationship was so tense from the very beginning.

But in the end...

He had been following Xiao Luochen all day, so he naturally knew what Sheng Wu said before he died.

This deep affection moved even a rootless person like him, let alone the emperor.

Hearing this, Xiao Luochen didn't expect him to answer anything. He just stared at the pen in his hand and continued in a deep voice.

He spoke each word very slowly, enunciating each word. It was unclear whether he was speaking to the chief steward or to himself.

"She's delicate and afraid of pain. The red-crowned crane is a poison that can penetrate the intestines. She knew I was standing outside the door and didn't come to save her, but she still ate it. She said..."

"You risked your life to help me. Don't regret it, and don't blame me." As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red, his voice trembled, and the hand holding the pen tightened.

As if trying to grab something.

Oh, no regrets.

But he regretted it. He regretted why he didn't believe her. Why.

Although he clearly realized that he had different feelings for her, he was afraid of this strange and non-existent thing, and tried to escape and erase it!

Hearing these words, the chief steward, an outsider, felt a pang of sadness.

Frowning, he couldn't help but comfort her in a sob.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is a good woman, but I'm afraid you and her are not destined to be together."

"Won't!"

These words instantly seemed to ignite Xiao Luochen's forbidden zone.

He suddenly raised his head, and the compassionate and lonely look on his face suddenly turned gloomy and ugly. His scarlet blood pupils glared at the chief steward with an extremely cold and terrifying aura.

"My fate with her is not over! As long as I am buried with her, she will still be my queen, not the late emperor's. It was the late emperor who forced her into the palace. It was him! It was he who severed my fate with Sheng Wu!!"

And there is the General’s Mansion!

If the General's Mansion had not been so ambitious and his father was not old and lustful, Sheng Wu would not have been forced to enter the palace!

There would be no result like today!

Maybe, he would discover Sheng Wu's good points earlier, fall in love with her earlier, and she would be the queen he really wanted to marry!

The chief steward was startled and frightened by the bloody look in his eyes.

I was even more shocked by his words.

He actually didn't want to bury Sheng Wu with the late emperor, but wanted to bury her with himself!

This, this, this is ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, if this were known to the world, you would be ridiculed and criticized by everyone! The royal family would not allow you to do such a ridiculous thing!"

As someone who watched Xiao Luochen grow up, he certainly didn't want Xiao Luochen to act so ridiculously.

However, when Xiao Luochen listened to his words, his eyes became gloomy and cold.

"No one will know! Even if someone dares to talk about it, I will kill them! Kill them until they dare not speak!"

The sinister and bloodshot pupils narrowed, revealing a murderous look of horror.

When she was born, she was misunderstood and misunderstood by herself. She has always loved herself, even at all costs, even if it means suffering from vicious stigma, and even sacrificing her life for his great cause.

Now dead.

She probably didn't want to be buried next to that man. She would want to be buried with him.
