The portrait was ruined, and at this moment Hua Changge was only thinking about repainting it and bringing the woman from his dream to life once again.
He had prepared his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, but for some reason, when he closed his eyes, his mind was completely blank.
He could still feel it, but he seemed to have forgotten what the other person looked like.
Several times I tried to draw, but I couldn't capture the feeling I wanted.
For the first time, he felt so powerless as the emperor of the empire.
Enraged, Hua Changge's face was tense. With a few quick rips, he tore all the papers on the table into shreds.
Damn it!
A loud "bang" was heard.
He slammed his large hand heavily on the table.
This immediately attracted the attention of the guards.
The door was pushed open, and the guards with swords rushed in, saying, "Your Majesty."
Everyone spoke in unison, and as soon as they finished speaking, Hua Changge raised his eyes, his gaze turning sinister.
"Get out! All of you, get out of my sight!"
To avoid upsetting him.
Everyone says Hua Changge has a fiery temper, and tonight it's even worse.
The guards dared not look or ask any questions, but simply lowered their heads respectfully and quickly left the Book Pavilion.
What about Ke Hua Chang Ge?
I spent the night in the Book Pavilion.
It wasn't until dawn, when the east began to lighten, that a palace maid saw him leave the Book Pavilion.
Recently, the Emperor Changxuan of the Yueyang Imperial Palace mysteriously disappeared, leaving all the affairs of the empire to Hua Changge.
Having not slept all night, Hua Changge left court early this morning.
When Consort Li heard about this, she specially ordered the imperial chefs to prepare a nourishing soup and personally delivered it to Changge Palace.
Who knew that when she arrived there, she was stopped by the guards at the door before she even had a chance to see Hua Changge.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to step into Changge Palace without his permission."
The guards heard that Hua Changge had stayed in the Shuxiang Pavilion all night and had specially redrawn the portrait that had been damaged by the palace maid the day before.
The feeling of losing and then regaining something made Hua Changge build high defensive walls around him.
Frowning, Consort Li suppressed her displeasure. "I only had the imperial chef prepare this nourishing soup because I saw that His Majesty had worked hard all night..."
The guard remained expressionless.
Consort Li felt like she was talking to a brick wall, and her anger flared. She glared at the guard at the door, then raised her voice and rushed into Changge Palace, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a nourishing soup for you, Your Majesty—"
"Hua Qi!"
Before Consort Li could finish speaking, a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out from inside Changge Palace. Her lips turned pale, and she trembled slightly in fear. Hua Qi, standing at the door, had already extended his hand and respectfully made a "please" gesture.
"Your Highness, please do not make things difficult for your subordinate."
Hua Changge is known for his fickle nature and quick changes of heart; who would dare to openly challenge his limits of patience?
Consort Li understood.
She swallowed her resentment, but as she left, she couldn't help but crane her neck to look into the Changge Palace.
With just that one glance, Consort Li's expression changed drastically.
How could that be?
Wasn't the portrait destroyed by the palace maid who was beheaded yesterday?
Where did this portrait, which Your Majesty is so fascinated by, come from?
Even the most beautiful women in life cannot compare to the eyes in a painting. Hua Changge's exclusive favor puts pressure on all three thousand beauties in the harem.
Consort Li is a case in point.
They were willing to take any risks and do anything to destroy his portrait.
Unfortunately, the portrait is dead, but the memory is alive.
All those who offended him are dead, but the woman who survived in his memory inexplicably took over all his love.
