"If being an emperor makes one so unhappy, then why be an emperor at all?"
"Since emperors are the most honorable and powerful people in the world, shouldn't they be happy every day, spending time with the people they love?"
Gu Jinxi finished speaking, causing Emperor Rongcheng to pause abruptly.
yes!
The reason he rose up in rebellion was for the sake of countless people and to make sure he could control his own destiny.
Is it also so that Jiang Xianhao can be with her?
But why, after all these years, has he forgotten what he wanted?
Instead, he's been hiding himself all along?
******
late at night.
Jingyu Palace.
A dark figure landed silently and then knocked three times lightly on the closed door.
Soon, the door opened from the inside, and the man in black walked in.
Inside the room.
Jiang Xianhao was standing with her hands behind her back when she saw Li Ce come in. She turned around and looked at him with seemingly calm eyes.
However, the hands hidden behind her back trembled uncontrollably.
Li Ce knelt on the ground, panting several times, before finally speaking: "Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission and have discovered Miss Gu's identity."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao immediately stepped forward.
"how?"
Li Ce frowned.
"Miss Gu's identity is very strange."
Li Ce hesitated for a moment.
"I suspect that she is not the biological daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an."
Jiang Xian understood and breathed a sigh of relief, but she remained calm on the surface.
How do you know?
"My subordinates have discovered that after the Lady of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion gave birth to the child, a Taoist priest came to their door and said that the child was an ominous star, and suggested that the child be sent away."
However, Gu Wei'ang disagreed at the time.
Afterwards, the child's wet nurse switched the baby and took the child away. Chu Qianlan discovered this but did not stop it.
Jiang Xianhao frowned upon hearing this.
"How can you tell that she is not a biological daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an?"
"Because after I went to investigate, I found that the wet nurse and the Taoist priest were both fake."
Furthermore, I have discovered that the wet nurse who took Gu Jingchun away is no ordinary person.
Li Ce raised his head as he spoke.
"My actions have probably attracted the attention of some people, and I am being hunted down as a result."
"Therefore, I suspect that her identity is definitely not ordinary, and she may be hiding a big secret."
"But in order not to alert the enemy, I did not continue the investigation, but returned secretly."
As Li Ce spoke, he took another item out of his bosom and respectfully presented it.
"This is what I found out when I went to Miss Gu's wet nurse. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Jiang Xianhao lowered her eyes and saw that Li Ce was holding a jade pendant in his hand.
She was immediately shocked and could no longer hide the expression on her face. She reached out her hand, trembling, and grasped the jade pendant in her hand.
The jade pendant is shaped like a butterfly, entirely white, with fine jade texture, excellent quality, and crystal clear; one glance is enough to tell it's no ordinary item.
Jiang Xianhao felt the slight coolness of the jade pendant in her hand and slowly closed her eyes.
The scene from back then instantly flashed into my mind.
In the vast fields, Fu Shiyu, dressed in a fiery red outfit, smiled brightly and boldly.
She said, "Ah Hao, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. If I had known this earlier, I should have come to Tiandu sooner and met you sooner."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao smiled and gave her a push.
"Come on, I think meeting the Crown Prince is the luckiest thing that ever happened to you."
Fu Shiyu blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and gave her a reproachful look.
"Ugh, people have already said that the luckiest thing is meeting you. How could that annoying Li Wenci possibly be ranked ahead of you?"
If I had to pinpoint his greatest contribution, it would be that you came to know him because of him.
Jiang Xianhao smiled even more happily upon hearing this.
"I know perfectly well why my future fiancé abandoned me and insisted on marrying you. With your sweet, honey-like mouth, who could resist you?"
Fu Shiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that you look down on your fiancé and insist on focusing your attention on Shen Wanshan. Otherwise, why would he come to me crying?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth, whispering urgently, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't talk nonsense?"
Fu Shiyu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"I wasn't talking nonsense. There's no one else here, just the two of us. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Xianhao glanced around, then glared warily at Fu Shiyu.
"That won't work either. What if someone overhears us?"
Fu Shiyu was somewhat confused.
"You're supposed to be a noble lady from a prominent family, so why are you so cautious about liking someone? You don't even dare to let anyone know. Why is that?"
Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but blush when she thought of how that person would blush when they saw her.
"You don't understand. If I told you, you wouldn't be able to see that idiot's adorable face."
"Just how cute is it that you've been protecting it so tightly for so long without showing it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao took out a small jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Soon. I'll introduce you all in a while, and then the four of us will definitely have a good drink together."
"good."
Fu Shiyu looked at the jade pendant in her hand and nodded.
"What's this?"
