"I want to be the emperor's confidant. I can help you solve your problems and make suggestions for you."
Yes.
Thinking of what happened that night during the Cold Food Festival, Cang Xilin let go of her worries.
Her tenderness and beauty have been tasted by me personally, how could they be fake?
From that day on, did he truly fall in love with her? "Yu'er, I am the emperor." Cang Xilin's voice suddenly became quieter.
"I am the emperor, so I am destined to have three thousand beauties in the harem. This is the fate of every emperor, and it is something I cannot violate."
He took a few steps forward and stood side by side with her.
He didn't look at her, but kept staring out the window.
After a long time, he said:
"But, I am also a man. I don't want all the women around me to gather just for my throne. Do you understand?"
Bai Yuyue nodded.
"So I hope you are that person."
Cang Xilin said, reaching out and taking her hand.
Gently, but also forcefully, he held her hand tightly.
"Since I have married them, I cannot give them up at will."
"——But, I can choose to spend the next few years only with the people I love."
Startled, she also looked at him.
There was no smile on his face anymore. However, there was a burning light in his eyes.
"I will unify the world as you wish and become a wise king."
As he spoke, he held her soft hand and unconsciously tightened it a little more.
"Then, I hope that you can become my woman, Cang Xilin."
The pupils dilated instantly.
Open your mouth in disbelief.
What he said was "my woman", not "I".
"I……"
He stretched out his hand and covered her words in his palm.
Cang Xilin smiled and said:
"You don't need to answer or explain. You just need to take a good look with your eyes and your heart. That's it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu urged him outside the palace: "Has the emperor packed up?"
