"Elder Cousin Jing …" Esteemed Empress Dowager had been cautious for her entire life. It'd taken her son a long time to become emperor before two days passed. Who knew that her only daughter had met with mishap? In the end, she'd even given up her life and died young. If she really didn't have any thoughts, then that would be impossible. It was just that these thoughts were only meant for her daughter. The ones she felt pity for, and the ones she didn't want to part with, were her own daughters. As for Gu Qingyi, to put it bluntly, she had been living in this world ever since she was born. She had not seen her for more than ten years, and she was no different from a stranger. However, when he saw her, he remembered his miserable daughter. That was why he could not help but shed two tears. If there really was something to say about these two strangers, then it would be rather strange, so the empress dowager quickly switched the topic to Xuanyuan Jing.

"Jing'er was a kid, but she was a naughty one. "Then … you're still in your mother's stomach, and his little body only knows how to look after his little sister. It's just that he longs for your mother to enter the palace …" Gu Qingyi had no interest in what kind of root Xuanyuan Jing was, or what kind of second generation emperor he was. She only knew that this person would bring about a bloody storm in the near future, and this time she would not let herself get caught up in it. However, the empress dowager was extremely happy when she spoke of Xuanyuan Jing. Although Gu Qingyi was not happy on the inside, she still had to put on a very obedient expression.

In order to not let them see the hatred in her eyes, she had no choice but to sit down obediently. Her hands were spread out on her knees, and her head was lowered, as if she was humble and obedient. However, he was thinking about how much longer he needed to listen and when he could leave. At the same time, he tried to recall the scene when he had entered the palace for the first time in his previous life.

He vaguely remembered when he had saved his life due to Xuanyuan Jing, and how he had truly treated her at that time …

He had followed his master on his travels since he was young and had seen many people, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xuanyuan Jing. It had to be said that just based on his appearance, Xuanyuan Jing could be said to be a phoenix emblem of the Jadeite Tree Dragon. In addition, he had saved her life, so she had thrown her entire heart onto his body. Her memories were all about him.

There wasn't even a speck of it.

The only sound that could be heard in the entire Palace was the voice of the empress dowager. Sometimes she was suppressed, and sometimes she was excited …

Gu Qingyi sat there quietly with a serious look on her face. In reality, her heart had long flown somewhere.

Under the palace wall far away, the green brick of red flowers bloomed perfectly.

That year …

He had been in the palace for the first time, after being in the water and being ill for more than half a year. It was as if he was in this situation as well.

Within the sea of rose flowers, dressed in a white gown, black hair tied up in a bun and starry eyes, he seemed to be smiling and nodding to himself …

Staring fixedly into the distance, Gu Qingyi's hands subconsciously tightened their grip on her skirt, as if something had ruthlessly pounded on her heart.

Then...

"Eh? Isn't this Prince Jing? Mistress is still talking about you, and now you're here. "Seriously, quickly come in, quickly come in …"

"Aiyo, Jing'er, it's been a while since we last met and you seem to have gotten skinnier …"

"Greetings to Royal Grandmother."

It's him, it's him …

It's really him, he's here, he's really here.

Just now … It wasn't an illusion, he really came …
