Xuan Ye also realized that his reaction had been too much. He let out a dry laugh and said, ”Of course, I'm not an immoral ruler. I will send someone to investigate secretly and convict him based on his words alone.”

Perhaps she had already understood that Xuan Ye was the heart of an emperor, and there was no room for sand in his eyes. These people who had betrayed him before would probably die in order for him to feel at ease. Thinking up to here, Rong'er couldn't help but shiver slightly.

Suddenly, there was a voice in front of them, as if an elder standing beside Xuan Ye had stopped them. Rong'er looked over and saw that the one being stopped was actually Toya. Rong'er smiled at Xuan Ye and said, ”Liang has agreed.”

Xuan Ye nodded and instructed the counselor beside him, ”Have her come.”

”Yes sir!” The advisor acknowledged and hurriedly shouted at the eunuchs in front of him, ”The emperor has an order, have Liang agree to come.”

Toya was surprised that she would run into the Emperor and Rong'er here, her expression still somewhat terrified, like Xuan Ye and Rong'er bowing.

Rong'er smiled as he walked over, asking softly, ”Why is little sister here?”

”I... This subject … ”After eating dinner, chenqie took a stroll in the imperial garden. I didn't expect to run into the emperor and his concubine.” After all, it was too difficult for her to see Xuan Ye once she agreed. She could only steal a glance at him during the ceremony in the palace, as this was the closest she had ever been to Xuan Ye ever since she had taken care of him in the empress dowager's palace. At that time, Xuan Ye's sorrowful death had already been deeply engraved in her heart.

”Your majesty!” Rong'er smiled as he turned around. ”What a coincidence. It's been a long time since the emperor agreed.”

Xuan Ye gently nodded his head, as if he had forgotten about this woman for a very long time. In the past, this woman was still special, but before, bits and pieces of her memories began to appear in his mind, and the ones that he remembered the most were those nights when she accompanied him to send off his longevity. At that time, she was only a twelve or thirteen year old girl, and if he thought about it carefully, she should be sixteen or seventeen years old by now.

When she looked at Toya again, her already rosy face had turned even redder, revealing a bashful, delicate beauty. Rong'er looked at her and laughed softly. ”Liang agreed to be very popular with the empress dowager. She's like her title is sealed, and has a very gentle personality.”

”I seem to have heard the empress dowager mention it before. That's right, she's the one who was doted on by the empress dowager the moment we entered the palace. Back then, before the end of our lifespan, she and I had always taken care of it. At that time, it wasn't easy for a young age to take care of it all by herself.”

At the mention of longevity, Rong'er couldn't help but feel a bit sad. Seeing the look of appreciation in Toya's eyes as well as Toya's shy face, Rong'er knew that it was Toya's luck that had come. She would be favored by the emperor.

Rong'er's guess was correct. The next day, Xuan Ye played the cards he had promised; of course, Rong'er's guess about Xuan Ye was also correct. Two months later, Xuan Ye ordered Shang's letter to be arrested, and Xuan Ye was immediately executed …
