She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to remind her.
"Your Majesty, since you know the simple method, why do you still need to dig with your hands?"
"Look, your hands are bleeding."
Emperor Rongcheng chuckled softly.
"I won't tell you!"
The child's words left Gu Jingchun speechless, and he couldn't help but secretly glare at Emperor Rongcheng.
Emperor Rongcheng saw it out of the corner of his eye and chuckled softly.
"Now I know why Hechuan likes you."
"You're just like Ah Hao when he was young."
Ah-hao?
Gu Jingchun asked, "Is it Her Majesty the Empress?"
"yes!"
Emperor Rongcheng said, "Back then, Ahao was just like you, but... after entering the palace, her personality became more and more unfamiliar, and she became more and more silent."
"Alas, it is my fault."
“Back then, when I advised Hechuan to give you up, he used me and Ahao as a comparison to make me agree to you two being together.”
"At that time, I said, I regretted it."
"That brat thinks that I regret being with Ah Hao."
"Actually, I regret confining Ah Hao to this deep palace."
"I always thought that Ah Hao liked someone else, but I still kept Ah Hao in the palace, which caused Ah Hao to lose her freedom and all her happiness."
"Therefore, I regret it."
"I regret letting Ah Hao be trapped in this palace."
"This palace really is a place that devours people."
Gu Jingchun recalled the pamphlet he had read before and understood the matter between Emperor Rongcheng and Jiang Xianhao.
However, she did not agree with Rong's claim to be emperor.
I don't think so.
Gu Jingchun spoke, causing Emperor Rongcheng to turn his head and look at her.
"I think the reason why Her Majesty the Empress stayed in the palace with you must be because she was happy, at least at the beginning."
"The reason she changed later was not because of the cannibalistic palace, but because the people around her changed."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Emperor Rongcheng stared at him without moving.
The turmoil in his eyes was chilling.
Gu Jingchun was not afraid at all and confronted Emperor Rongcheng with neither arrogance nor servility.
In fact, Gu Jingchun felt angry for Jiang Xianhao when he finished reading that booklet.
After all, they were such a perfect couple back then.
According to Fu Shiyu, who came with a mission, the two were a match made in heaven.
They are the male and female protagonists in the comic book, and the happy ending of the story.
But who could have imagined that Emperor Rongcheng would change so much?
This also made her never have a good impression of Emperor Rongcheng. Even though he was an emperor, she couldn't help but rebuke him.
This could be considered outrageous, but Gu Jingchun just felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but feel indignant on Jiang Xianhao's behalf.
Emperor Rongcheng suddenly chuckled softly.
"hehe."
"You are the first person to dare look me in the eye like that."
After he finished speaking, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"However, you are right, I have indeed changed."
It was because of me that Ah Hao became like that.
So, I regret it; I wish I could do it all over again.
"If I could do it all over again, I would never again suspect her without reason, and I would never again listen to Consort Hui's slander and neglect Ah Hao."
Gu Jingchun silently shattered his illusions.
"Let's not do it again. I believe that, given Her Majesty the Empress's personality, if she could do it all over again, she definitely wouldn't stay with you."
Having already been bold once, Gu Jingchun decided to speak his mind.
However, upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng immediately flew into a rage, raising his voice several decibels.
"How dare you!"
"You're not her, so what makes you think she would act that way?"
Gu Jingchun: "Because if it were me, I wouldn't stay with you anymore either."
"Men are dirty once they betray you, no matter how many times they try to start over. Once they're dirty, they're dirty."
"It's not that you can change things just by admitting your mistakes later."
"If he were to get any closer to me, I wouldn't feel happy at all; instead, I would feel disgusted and nauseous, and I might even throw up!"
The last few words immediately silenced Emperor Rongcheng.
He murmured.
What makes you say that?
Gu Jingchun thought for a moment.
"Because I think the Empress should have a similar personality to me."
Therefore, I speculate that Her Majesty the Empress would think the same way.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Emperor Rongcheng.
"I don't know if Your Majesty has seen this booklet. It should contain the story of the Empress and you."
It was after reading this story that I realized the Empress's personality was very similar to mine.
She's simply been trapped in the palace for too long; her wings have been broken, and she can no longer fly.
"However, she did not compromise. Since she could no longer fly, she chose to die in the palace, which was better than tormenting herself in the palace and completely losing herself."
Emperor Rongcheng looked at the booklet and felt it looked familiar. He vaguely remembered seeing it before, but he did not open it.
Now, looking at this booklet, he felt a slight tremor.
After a while, he put the booklet in his pocket without opening it.
After that, he continued to dig into the soil with his hands.
He was digging while talking.
"You just asked me why I dug with my hands?"
"That's because I made a mistake. If I don't use my hands, Ah Hao will definitely think I'm not sincere. What if she gets angry again?"
