Zuo Yexuan: ???
"Xiao Tao, what did you say?"
Zuo Yexuan looked stunned.
"Yeah, yes." Xiaotao nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty... When the news of your death spread through the palace, I lost my appetite and cried for a long time."
"I have no worries anymore. At that time, I just want to be with the queen."
"So, late one night, I prepared to end my life with a three-foot white silk."
"I originally wanted to die and stay with the Empress, but I didn't expect to be discovered by someone and saved by accident."
"I never imagined that word of this would reach His Majesty. He immediately transferred Lin Feng to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen as a constable. He also gave me a surname and asked the wife of a third-rank official in the court to adopt me as his adopted daughter."
"I'm getting married as an adopted daughter, and with the dowry given by the Emperor, I really feel like I'm dreaming..."
"If it were in the past, I would have been ecstatic, but at that time, I thought the queen had passed away, and I just wanted to follow her."
"Finally, the Emperor saw that I was still unhappy, so he ordered me to take good care of all of your belongings, saying that one day, you would return."
"Your Majesty, to be frank, I actually thought that our Majesty had gone insane."
Xiao Tao said this, sticking out her tongue a little embarrassedly.
"However, His Majesty's oral instruction has indeed diverted a lot of attention."
"From the tables and chairs to the beads and diamonds, I have decorated Her Majesty's bedroom according to her past preferences. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm expecting."
"But there's always been a faint voice in my heart saying, 'My Lady, you will definitely come back.'"
"So, I dug out the worry-free wine that we buried together ten years ago."
"However, I never opened it. I just added another box outside."
"Since I'm married, I can't end my life by myself. So I thought that after a hundred years, I would be buried with Wuyoujiu. That way, I would have something to think about..."
Xiaotao cried and laughed at times, and talked about the past in a disjointed manner.
Zuo Yexuan's face was covered with tears since she didn't know when.
Especially when Desha Xiaotao attempted suicide after learning of her death, her heart suddenly tightened, and she felt both guilty and regretful.
"Xiao Tao, I'm sorry, you've suffered all these years..."
Zuo Yexuan choked up and gently hugged Xiaotao.
"My Lady, what are you talking about? You haven't wronged Xiao Tao. You gave Xiao Tao this life. Xiao Tao is not suffering."
When Xiaotao saw Zuo Yexuan crying, she couldn't help but shed tears too. The two hugged each other and cried, telling each other their true feelings.
Finally, Zuo Yexuan stopped thinking because she thought Xiaotao was pregnant and crying too much would be bad for the child.
"By the way, Xiaotao, you're still pregnant, why are you here suddenly?"
Zuo Yexuan quickly changed the subject.
"It was His Majesty's order to come and serve me."
"The chief eunuch who delivered the decree simply smiled and said, 'We looked forward to seeing each other from afar, but our old friend has returned.'"
"I was also a little confused at first, but since I was young and learned a lot from the Empress, I soon realized the difference."
"At first, I thought it was unfair that His Majesty casually adopted a country woman as his adoptive mother. But when I learned that you were using the alias Zuo Xiaotao and saw you digging here with my own eyes, my suspicions were confirmed."
"My Lady, this is wonderful! It's truly wonderful!"
"My Lady, you must promise Xiao Tao that we will never be separated again!"
Xiaotao grabbed Zuo Yexuan's sleeve with a pleading look.
"Okay, okay, Xiaotao, don't worry, I won't leave again."
"I plan to build my garden next to your house. From now on, I will come to see you every day. When that time comes, you must not find me annoying~"
Zuo Yexuan reached out and rubbed Xiaotao's head lovingly, and then pinched her soft cheek unconsciously.
"Really? That's great! Am I dreaming?" Xiao Tao was ecstatic.
"Silly Xiaotao, of course it's true." Zuo Yexuan was also infected by Xiaotao's happiness.
Apart from Jiang Qingqing, Xiaotao is her closest friend in the world. In her heart, she has long regarded Xiaotao as a sister.
However, she never imagined that her self-righteous attempt to do good for Xiaotao almost killed her.
If I had told Xiaotao the truth earlier, would she not have been sad for so long?
Fortunately, fortunately Xiaotao is fine.
Otherwise, Zuo Yexuan might never be able to forgive herself in this life.
As for what he said about wanting to live next to Xiaotao and be a neighbor for life, it was naturally the truth.
Now her external identity is just the emperor's adoptive mother, and she just wants to witness her son's wedding.
After the wedding, she still wanted to choose a secluded corner to spend the rest of her life with Jiang Xingguo.
…
Late at night, Zuo Yexuan chatted with Xiaotao for a long time. Finally, when Zuo Yexuan promised that she would be Xiaotao's neighbor soon and that Xiaotao could see her every day, she persuaded the reluctant Xiaotao to return home.
Zuo Yexuan sighed deeply, picked up the box that Xiaotao handed to her, and prepared to go back.
However……
A figure in white floated by quietly like an immortal.
The next moment, the originally heavy box was in a pair of slender and beautiful hands with distinct joints.
"Let me see, what secrets are hidden in this little leaf~"
Jiang Xingguo shook the box with interest and gave it a gentle shake.
"Tsk~ What can it be? It's just a can of worry-free wine."
