Hair turned white overnight?
Xie Yuan always thought this was a fictional creation in a novel.
She never imagined she would witness this scene with her own eyes.
Especially since this man was her husband, and he did it all for her sake—
"Does he really love me that much? Love me to this extent?"
Xie Yuan's heart was deeply touched.
She suddenly felt that her former pride in her calmness and clarity was somewhat shameful.
She seemed to have desecrated love.
Although Helian Jue was a lunatic, his love was obsessive and narrow-minded.
However, it is undeniable that Xie Yuan was deeply shocked when he saw Helian Jue's haggard appearance and the white hair at his temples.
I'm taking the gamble!
Xie Yuan thought that it wasn't so bad for her to become love-struck for Helian Jue!
Perhaps Helian Jue will fall in love with someone else in the future, or perhaps she will be forced to commit suicide, but no matter what happens, she will always remember—
Once upon a time, there was a man who loved her so much that his hair turned white overnight!
"Ah Xi, I'm sorry, it won't happen again!"
Xie Yuan was very weak, but he still gritted his teeth and reached out to gently stroke his thin cheeks and the white hair at his temples.
"Ah Yuan, you, you really do love me. For me, you, you—" gave up your original world and came back to my side.
Helian Jue was unaware of Xie Yuan's thoughts and feelings, but he was deeply moved.
Perhaps Xie Yuan was still hiding something from him, or perhaps she loved him not as passionately as he loved her.
But no matter when or where, no matter what situation they may face in the future, he will remember—
Xie Shi A Yuan, a devoted woman who could have "returned to the celestial palace," stayed in this backward and barbaric "mortal world" for him.
Helian Jue took Xie Yuan's hand in his own and pressed it against his face, gently stroking it.
He decided that he would never test or doubt again.
Helian Jue wouldn't even mention Li Xiaoxiao or the so-called time travel to Xie Yuan.
None of the past matters; all he wants is to live a good life with A-Yuan from now on.
If he were to die before A Yuan, he wouldn't want A Yuan to die with him.
He loved her, so he hoped she would be well, live a long and healthy life, and enjoy wealth and peace.
To be able to realize your dreams at will!
...
The Empress has awakened!
This wonderful news was like a ray of sunshine that dispelled the gloom that filled the sky.
First the entire palace, then the whole capital, was filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere.
The Empress woke up, and the Emperor returned to normal.
The imperial prison was abolished, and those who were innocently implicated were released.
Everything started to get better after Xie Yuan woke up.
Many court officials couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Great! The Empress has finally woken up."
The sage was no longer a bloodthirsty tyrant, and the Great Zhou Dynasty would not perish prematurely.
So, half a month later, at the grand court assembly, when all the civil and military officials saw the Emperor and Empress walking hand in hand into the main hall, they all shouted from the bottom of their hearts—
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"
Such a resounding cheer must have come from the bottom of one's heart.
Those who have not experienced bloodshed and darkness, and have not witnessed a tyrant's madness, cannot understand the mindset of the courtiers.
It's true, once half of her body was submerged in the abyss, but now, the Empress gently pushed her out.
Bloodshed and turmoil, constant uncertainty, having to prepare a coffin before going out, the feeling of being caught in a sudden disaster while sitting at home—only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand.
The court officials even felt that the Empress should sit next to the Emperor.
Fourth Prince: ...Tch! Finally learned your lesson?
As I've said before, a sage is a sword that kills, and an empress is the scabbard.
You are always thinking about using impeachment of the emperor and empress to gain fame and reputation, and then to achieve the good name of a great minister for all time, but you have forgotten the limits.
They learned their lesson and became wiser!
Why didn't you do this sooner?
This whole mess has tarnished the saint's originally good reputation.
Well, seeing the emperor sitting next to Xie Yuan, who had regained his aloof and narcissistic demeanor, the Fourth Prince suddenly realized: This guy doesn't care about reputation at all!
This is quite terrifying.
As an emperor, one cannot do whatever one wants.
He bears the weight of the world on his shoulders, and the weight of the people on his shoulders.
He wanted the dynasty to last forever, and he wanted his name to be remembered in history.
...For various reasons, even the emperor had to compromise.
However, there is one type of emperor who doesn't need that.
That is a tyrant, a foolish ruler.
He didn't care about his posthumous reputation at all; he only cared about whether he was comfortable while he was alive.
Helian Jue was not a foolish and cruel ruler, but he was a madman.
This is a more terrifying existence than a tyrant or a foolish ruler.
Because his words and actions leave no trace.
Fortunately, there was still Empress Xie.
Helian Jue is ill, but Empress Xie is the cure.
One thing can subdue another; a perfect match!
The court officials probably realized this as well.
Therefore, when they faced Empress Xie again, they no longer deliberately caused trouble because of gender, social conventions, or other reasons.
There are also things like the "femme fatale," which even the most fame-hungry madman wouldn't mention.
"What wicked empress? Empress Xie was clearly a virtuous empress!"
Yes, she was able to restrain a tyrannical ruler, cultivate the next generation of wise rulers, and enable the Zhou Dynasty to last for four hundred years, achieving a golden age of nearly a century. She was a virtuous empress.
In the days that followed, Helian Jue continued to fight on the front lines.
Xie Yuanze presided over a series of major projects, including relocating the capital, digging the Grand Canal, promoting women's education, and allowing women to participate in scientific examinations.
