Time will change people beyond recognition. Jiang Ji intuitively felt the meaning of this sentence for the first time.
Every word Lou Zhuxin said fell into his ears like a bolt from the blue, catching him off guard.
Jiang Ji did get to know Lou Zhuxin because of the painting of beauty. He always liked talented people. The painting of beauty was so lifelike and the beauty's face was half covered, which fascinated him, so his affection for Lou Zhuxin increased.
But... but all this is a joke. Everyone says that kings have always been ruthless, but he really liked Lou Zhuxin at that time. He liked her gentleness and his understanding... He was even afraid that he would feel guilty towards Bai Mian if he married her, so he would cherish her even more.
But now Lou Zhuxin told him that their token of love was fake!
"Why? Why did you lie to me?"
A malicious smile appeared on Lou Zhuxin's face. She said, "Is this my fault alone? Bai Mian is stupid, and you are heartless. You don't know how happy I am every time I see Bai Mian's lonely eyes because you doted on me too much. I never thought that one day, she would be stepped on by me, hahahaha!"
Jiang Ji was so angry that he was shaking all over, "You vicious woman!"
"Vicious woman? Your Majesty, look at yourself. How are you any better than me? When you loved me, whatever I did was right. But now, after knowing the truth, you can so quickly abandon our years of love. Am I the one who is vicious, or are you the one who is blind?"
Lou Zhuxin became more and more outspoken, and his face no longer had the gentleness and kindness of the past. Instead, he looked like a madman!
The person Jiang Ji has doted on for many years is such an ugly person. He says he loves her, but he is full of selfishness.
"Lou Zhuxin, I think highly of you because of that painting of a beautiful woman, but my years of love for you are filled with sincerity. You really disappoint me! I won't kill you, so you can spend the rest of your life in the cold palace!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Lou Zhuxin looked at his back, tears welling up in an instant. She chased him and hugged him around the waist, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't leave. I am sorry for you, but I have done so much just to stay by your side. I really love you. Can't Your Majesty feel it? Let's start over, okay?"
Jiang Ji's breathing stopped, and a tear fell on the back of Lou Zhuxin's hand. "After so many years, my kindness to you is not enough to make you let go of your paranoia? My feelings for you are not just about that beautiful woman painting. It's you who are too stubborn."
"But, you now make me feel sick."
Jiang Ji pried the woman's hands apart and quickly left.
Lou Zhuxin collapsed on the ground, her gorgeous clothes were covered in dust, and her crimson lip balm had long since faded, making her look disheveled.
"Hahaha, he said I was disgusting, disgusting?"
When Aunt Liu came in and saw her like this, she was so frightened that she quickly ran over to help her, "My Lady, My Lady, please get up quickly. The ground is cold."
Lou Zhuxin smiled bitterly, "Cold? I don't think so, Mammy, my heart hurts. I love him so much, why would he do this to me?"
Aunt Liu looked at her distressedly, "Your Majesty... The emperor is ruthless, Your Majesty is too deeply trapped..."
…
Jiang Ji left the cold palace in a hurry.
"Li Dequan, accompany me to Qiwu Palace!"
Li Dequan was full of doubts. Why did he go to the Queen again?
"yes!"
——
Qiwu Palace.
After Bai Mian was released from house arrest, his life became much better. The Ministry of Internal Affairs changed its previous attitude and sent a lot of gold-thread charcoal every day. Now the palace is very warm.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine, but Bai Mian was used to it and could no longer smell it.
She had been suffering from a long-standing illness and could not stand for long periods of time, so she stayed in bed most of the day. Jiang Qiao sent her many folk travelogues, which helped her to relieve her boredom.
Yunyan came in with medicine, "My Lady, it's time to take the medicine."
Bai Mian put down the book in his hand and said, "Give it to me!"
The medicine was still very bitter, but Bai Mian didn't even frown. Hadn't she suffered enough? To her, this little bit of suffering was nothing.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
When Yunyan heard the sound, she immediately turned her head to look at Bai Mian's expression. What was the emperor doing here at this time?
Bai Mian pretended not to hear and continued reading the travel journal.
Jiang Ji came in and smelled a strong smell of medicine. He frowned slightly. He saw Bai Mian lying on the bed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How is the Queen's health lately?"
Bai Mian didn't even raise her head. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Queen Mother sympathized with my illness and exempted me from the formalities of greeting. How am I feeling? Your Majesty, don't you know when you smell such a strong smell of medicine?"
Jiang Ji was not angry at being choked, and just sat down on the bed, "Queen, you..."
Before he could finish, Bai Mian interrupted him, "I have nothing to do, Your Majesty, please go back!"
"Bai Mian, do you have to make things so awkward? I know I was wrong about what happened back then, can't you give me a way out?"
Bai Mian's face finally showed some emotion. She put the book down and looked directly at the man in front of her. "Since Your Majesty has made the choice from the beginning, don't regret it!"
"You..." Jiang Ji couldn't continue and stood up to leave.
Bai Mian curled up in the quilt, tears filling his eyes.
All the grievances he had felt for so many years finally erupted at this moment. Why, why could he only look at her when Lou Zhuxin was gone?
But it was too late. Bai Mian didn't want to lose herself for him anymore. She wanted to be the carefree eldest daughter of the Bai family.
The love of youth has long since deteriorated.
…
The General's Mansion.
Chi Qi'an stayed alone in the mourning hall. He looked at the harmonious couple in the portrait and whispered, "Father, I have eliminated the Lou family. From now on, no one will be able to bully the Chi family..."
