Chapter 25 (2/2)

This scene overlaps with a scene from his memoryGrief and ache flashes in his eyes

Back then, during that stor: ”Chenqie does not want to enter the palace… but… chenqie has no other choice but to”

The night was heavy back then, there was not a single star in sight

She had never said anything prior to that, only at the end of her life did she finally said those words

He was helplessSo, she did not enter the palace on her own free willTurns out—–

By then, everything was too late

He lost herHe truly lost herThe last thing she said to him was : ”Chenqie is tired… really, really——”The rest of the words remains unheard

He is at the highest andhe should have grasped from the start: love

The rest?Nobut wasted yearsThey are just like ht and colourful but only for thatimpact at all

Her beautiful face and her clear s it has been

He closes his eyes in sorrowOnly when he reminisces about her will his heart turns softWhen he doesn't, he is just a cold-blooded and calculative emperor

He suddenly turns around, no longer looking at the sleeping Xi YanStep by step, he leaves the hallJust as he walk past the door, he can hear Eunuch Li asking, ”Your Majesty, are we to go to Li Hua Palace?”

He nodsHe wants to go to Li Hua PalaceWhy shouldn't he be allowed to deceive himself?
