Ye Qiu's 'Emperor's Heart' is hidden beneath the Nine Netherworlds. Even if the truth is told to Ye Qiu now, he has no power to bring it back.
"Ye Qiu, regardless of whether you will forgive me in the future, for now, I must keep making you angry and furious, hoping that you can succeed soon."
If you haven't succeeded by the time the Divine Court descends, then I'll have no choice but to marry Emperor Ye Qing, which might buy you a little more time.
Zhao Churan muttered to herself, her emotions extremely complex.
...
In the capital, Ye Qiu quickly returned to the imperial palace and, without speaking to anyone, threw himself into his busy work.
Wang Xiaoyu initially thought Ye Qiu just had urgent business to attend to, so she didn't pay much attention.
However, over the next twenty days, Wang Xiaoyu realized the seriousness of the situation.
Ye Qiu is busy with various tasks every day, without a moment's rest.
Even at night, Ye Qiu didn't rest, spending entire nights reviewing various documents.
Given Ye Qiu's occasional pained expressions, even the dim-witted Wang Xiaoyu could guess what was going on. Ye Qiu's tireless work day and night was most likely an attempt to forget something, or perhaps, someone.
Wang Xiaoyu saw everything and felt very sorry for Ye Qiu, but she couldn't persuade him.
Wang Xiaoyu had tried it several times, but to no avail.
At midnight on the twenty-seventh day, Wang Xiaoyu finally couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing Ye Qiu looking down and searching for a document, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Ye Qiu from behind: "Brother Ye, please don't continue. You haven't slept for more than twenty days. You can take a rest."
"Little Fish, I'm a cultivator, I'll be fine, don't worry," Ye Qiu replied casually.
"Brother Ye, I know why you're unhappy. It must be because of that woman."
Forget about her, okay? You still have me even without her.
I will stay with you for the rest of my life. Even if the world turns upside down, I will never leave you.
Even if you don't like me and have no feelings for me, there are so many good women in the world. Why are you so heartbroken over her? I don't think she deserves it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu gave a silent, bitter smile.
Wang Xiaoyu had no idea about those unforgettable things from her past.
Zhao Churan, Li Yuechan, Xia Hongdou, Hong Zhenzhen, Ji Ziyue, Qingniao, and the others... are the obsessions that Ye Qiu can never let go of!
For the past twenty-odd days, Ye Qiu has kept himself busy, trying not to think about those old things.
But this seems to be completely useless.
"Brother Ye, say something! Even if you can't forget, it's okay. Try to shift your focus. I'm worried you might become depressed."
"How about this, Brother Ye, you...you do something else with me to relieve some stress, okay?"
Wang Xiaoyu pressed herself tightly against Ye Qiu's back.
Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback: "What?"
"It's about relieving stress. You still have me. I can help you. Even if it only helps alleviate your sadness a little bit, I'm willing to do it."
Wang Xiaoyu suddenly walked around to the front of Ye Qiu, and under Ye Qiu's astonished gaze, the shoulder strap slowly slipped down.
