"I'm not after her heart, nor her body; I just want to follow in her footsteps..."
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Seeing her happy makes me happy!"
"You're lying!" The resolute tone deep within her soul was utterly serious, revealing a stubbornness and unwavering resolve. "You love her deeply, you'd even give your life for her! You want to be with her forever, you want to be tied to her for life..."
"That's why you're in so much pain from being separated from her! If you don't admit that you haven't been in pain, then you don't care about her at all!"
Alone and trembling in the desolate snowfield, Gu Liyan stood alone, feeling the coldness of the world and the erosion of time...
Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile wryly, and it took him a while to reply, "Hey, you little brat, can you not tell me what's on my mind? Don't you know how painful it is to have your secrets exposed?"
Gu Liyan's nose tingled, and his eyes reddened slightly. Sensing Gu Liyan's sadness, Xiao Tao'er looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Tao'er made you sad..."
Gu Liyan sighed, "Tao'er, remember this: no matter what painful choices I face in the future, the one who will ultimately make the choice will not be me, but the person I love most in my heart! Giving freedom to the one I love is the reason to love them!"
"Yes, Master, I understand!" Little Peach said with a serious expression.
"What master? You can just call me brother!" Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated by this address.
"No! I don't want to call you brother along with that wicked woman Mu Qing!" Tao'er suddenly got angry.
"Then call me whatever you like!" Gu Liyan had already lost her temper with this invisible little guy.
"Okay, Daddy! Where do we go now?"
Thump...
Gu Liyan almost fell over. This little guy actually called him "Daddy"?!
Having steadied himself, Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Let's go to Chaoge!"
"Chaoge? Are we going to find Mother?" Tao'er asked excitedly. "Only Daddy and Mother's love interests me! Let's go, let's go!"
Gu Liyan gave a helpless wry smile, "What kind of little devil is this?"
Little did they know that in the days to come, this little peach would become their inseparable daughter!
——
On the other hand, Su Xian'er's life in Chaoge was not as harmonious as she had imagined.
Today, a large number of servants suddenly arrived. As soon as they entered, they took away all the valuable items in the room without saying a word!
"You lot, move these away... and this one too, move all the unused braziers away..." a eunuch said, pointing to a brazier that was now empty of charcoal.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly stopped them, saying, "You audacious slaves! The cold weather isn't over yet, how dare you take away the heater so casually!"
"Hmph, His Majesty instructed that everything must be the best when arranging a new palace for Consort Muqing. Since your things are the newest, naturally we should take things from here!" the eunuch said matter-of-factly.
Su Xian'er was furious upon hearing this and couldn't help but cough a few times, but could only weakly wave her hand and say, "Cough cough, never mind, Xiao Cui, let them take it."
Xiao Cui stomped her feet angrily, "Your Highness, you've already caught a cold. They won't give me charcoal, and they even took away the heater! This is outrageous..."
Before Xiao Cui could finish speaking, Su Xian'er scolded, "Let them take it! They should take everything that belongs to him! That way I won't owe him anything!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and immediately knelt down, because behind Su Xian'er stood Di Xin...
Su Xian'er turned around, looking at Di Xin with a cold expression, and suddenly sneered, "Everyone's gone, look at this place, it's almost become a cold palace. It seems Your Majesty wants me to leave! Why don't you grant Su Xian'er's wish! Let me go home sooner..."
Seeing Su Xian'er's pale face, Di Xin said nothing. For some reason, an extremely strong possessiveness made him unable to distinguish whether he loved Mu Qing or Su Xian'er more!
Mu Qing was the first girl he truly loved! She was his first love! She held the number one spot in his heart!
However, when he met Su Xian'er, he suddenly realized that Su Xian'er had brought him back to his youthful vigor. She possessed a pure beauty comparable to Mu Qing, which aroused a strong desire to conquer her!
He wants both of these women!
It is said that people are greedy, and emperors are even more so!
Di Xin said coldly, "Put everything down for me!"
The servants hurriedly put the things back in their original places.
Su Xian'er looked coldly at Di Xin, ignoring the slaves coming and going around her.
"All of you, get out!" Di Xin said coldly.
After everyone left, Di Xin approached Su Xian'er and said, "I'm sorry, I've neglected you lately. Please forgive me."
"Your Majesty is busy with many affairs of state and must also care for your many elder sisters or the new sisters. It is only natural that you may neglect Xian'er for a while!" Su Xian'er said coldly.
Di Xin frowned, and upon hearing the sarcasm in Su Xian'er's words, he immediately said unhappily, "Xian'er, why haven't you accepted my feelings after all this time?"
"Your Majesty, do you mean the feeling of being alone in this desolate palace, or the feeling of being scorned and ridiculed?" Su Xian'er sneered.
Di Xin frowned. "Who has disrespected you? You can tell me!"
"Hehe, what are you saying, Your Majesty? You are so busy with state affairs, have you ever taken care of Xian'er even a little bit?" Su Xian'er's eyes were cold. "If Your Majesty hadn't threatened me with the Su family, I'm afraid I would be enjoying the bliss of family life in the arms of the one I love right now!"
