Emperor Xuan Zhao suddenly spoke, his voice low and tender, "It's not too late, it's never too late as long as you want."

Fu Ronghua chuckled, her tone sober and cruel, "Don't you know, Your Majesty, what the price of coming back is? I think Sister Xie has already told you."

She let go of her hand and pulled away slightly, "What is love? Love is something that is abandoned like a pair of worn-out shoes when a concubine is chasing her. Love is a abandonment that is regarded as an abandoned son when a concubine is indulged."

She held Emperor Xuan Zhao's chin and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine's enemies are not only the Xie family, but also you."

She was smiling, her red lips showing a bit of cruelty, "I think about it every day, when can I," she put her finger on Emperor Xuanzhao's Adam's apple, "send you away with me."

Her eyes were full of smiles, "Your Majesty, look, the person beside you wants your life all the time, so do you still want to keep this concubine?"

Emperor Xuan Zhao grabbed her finger and pulled her into his arms, "Fu Ronghua, stop making trouble."

"Xuanji, you're trapped." The faint voice was a bit soft and gentle, but it contained a deep sadness.

She leaned against his chest, the smile on her lips unchanged, "Tell me, are you a bitch at heart?" She said it harshly, without any intention of showing any dignity.

Feeling Emperor Xuan Zhao's heartbeat, she sighed softly, "I'm angry, that's right. It's really unpleasant to hear."

She rolled her eyes slightly and said, "I am telling the truth."

Emperor Xuan Zhao suppressed the expression in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently stroked Fu Ronghua's long hair, "You can hate her if you want. I want to see who can win in the end, the queen or me."

Fu Ronghua tilted his head and smiled, "Have you ever heard of raising tigers?"

Emperor Xuanzhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "So what, I enjoy it as much as sweet cakes."

"Everyone likes to say good things," she raised her head, "Then let's see whether it was you who imprisoned my concubine, or my concubine who killed His Majesty."

Emperor Xuan Zhao closed his eyes, "I'm crazy, Fu Ronghua, please stay with me."

Fu Ronghua pushed him away, "It's a pity that I don't want to do it."

She sat on the soft couch and sipped tea slowly, "I want to enjoy this great river and mountains more, so how can I give up so easily?"

Emperor Xuan Zhao opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was that her appearance was as moving as ever, but what was unfamiliar was that there was no trace of affection for him in her eyes.

"I would rather you be like you were before, even if it was a lie." His tone revealed a bit of helplessness and sadness.

Fu Ronghua turned around and fiddled with the tea lid, his expression extremely dull.

——

Ye Xia adjusted her skirt and drank a cup of tea without any panic. Even when she saw the palace door being sealed, her expression did not change.

Chao Xun hesitated to speak, but she smiled, "What are you in a hurry for? I have done everything I should do, and the rest will be left to the Queen."

She slowly put down her tea cup, "From now on, I can have some leisure time." She stood up and fiddled with her bun, "It's rare to have time to relax, but I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time."

——

But in Chang Mansion, Meng Fangyan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter what, her husband's life was saved.

Her hands were trembling, and tears fell unconsciously. She murmured to herself, "Thank you, Queen," she put her hands on her chest, even though she knew that Fu Ronghua couldn't hear her at all.
