"Guard your heart?" He chuckled, his fingertips stroking the place where he had touched her hair just now.
With a "click" sound!
A flash of lightning suddenly split the night sky, illuminating the twisted smile on his pale face.
Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans fell down, instantly wetting the corners of his clothes.
He licked the raindrops on his lips and murmured, "But Your Highness, the more you push me away, the more I want to... drag you into this abyss?"
What does it mean to be destined to have no results?
Imperial power? Conflict between aristocratic families?
So what?
If the secular etiquette was destined to keep her out of his reach, then he would tear the shackles apart with his own hands.
He originally thought that as long as it was something she wanted, he would be willing to pick it for her with his own hands.
But now, seeing her so close to another man, the dark desire in his chest began to grow.
If she refused to step down from the platform, he would destroy her kingdom and drag her into the abyss with his own hands.
Another flash of thunder passed by, and rain slid down Xie Yunqi's jawline and seeped into his collar.
He was still looking in the direction she left, with a madness that was close to destruction surging in his eyes.

The next day, at the palace.
When Concubine Xie heard that Qi Che had moved into the princess's mansion and became a horse slave in the backyard, she immediately came up with a plan.
After the Emperor of Chu left court, she came as usual to deliver medicine to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."
The King of Chu rubbed his brows, took the medicine bowl and drank it all. Concubine Xie stood behind him, massaging his temples, and said casually:

"Hmm." The Emperor of Chu closed his eyes and rested. "If Qingluan wants to vent her anger, I can only let her do it."
Concubine Xie's eyes flickered, pretending to be worried: "But now my nephew is also recuperating in the princess's mansion. This... it is not right for two men to live together in the princess's mansion. The princess just got divorced not long ago, and I am worried that this will ruin the princess's reputation..."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu slowly opened his eyes and agreed with Concubine Xie's words.
At this time, Concubine Xie struck while the iron was hot and said, "I think it would be better to find a good match for the princess as soon as possible. First, it can help the princess get over her previous relationship as soon as possible, and second,..."
Concubine Xie gently stroked the sleeve of the Emperor Chu with her fingertips, and said gently: "Your Majesty should also plan for the princess's future. Now that the princess is investigating a serious case as a girl, it is inevitable that there will be criticism in the court. If there is a capable prince consort to assist her, it can not only stop the gossips, but also relieve your majesty's worries. Why not do it!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering Concubine Xie's words.
