The surrounding maidservants turned pale with fright, shivering, and knelt down on the ground one by one, not daring to move.

When she had laughed enough and couldn't catch her breath, her elder sister also squatted down and stretched out her hand to help her sit up. The empress dowager caressed her aching heart and shook her head bitterly.

"I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you to come to me and take my life. These years, I seem to be living well, but I have never slept peacefully."

"Many nights, I dreamed that you were covered in blood, and you cried miserably, asking me why I wanted to hurt you."

"Sister, I have been repenting for more than ten years, I don't want to live anymore, take me away, I am willing to make amends—"

But her elder sister stood up alienated, took two steps back, shook her head and retreated step by step towards the entrance of the main hall, without saying anything until her figure disappeared.

Shang Xie looked at all this coldly, and when he retracted his palm, the phantom at the door disappeared. The maid guarding the door of the hall watched this scene, screamed and passed out.

The concubine sat on the floor in a daze, and for a moment she couldn't believe what she saw. It was not until Xiyue stepped forward to help her up that she struggled away as if she had touched something, and threw herself on the ground. A soft couch.

Xiyue didn't say anything else, but her eyes were cold, and she left the Cihe Palace together with Shangxie.

……

Along the way, no one spoke, Di Shangxie just held Xiyue's hand tightly, he could feel that Xiyue was in a bad mood——

As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, a bell rang through the sky suddenly from afar.

Xiyue's steps startled abruptly.

She raised her head and closed her eyes, but she didn't look back, because she knew that the bell would ring only when the emperor and concubines... had left the world, and the ringing at this moment must be...

"The empress dowager is dead...the empress dowager is dead..."

"Kuang~~~~The concubine is dead... Kuang..."

The sound of one palace after another rushed like waves from afar, and with the sound of the huge mournful bell, the voice of the concubine's departure from the world also continued to echo sadly.

"The concubine is dead——"

Every time this sound hits a palace, everyone in the palace kneels in a hurry, and the crying continues. Xiyue and Shangxie just stood there for a while, and all the guards in front of the palace also knelt down. The sound of the concubine's death could be heard throughout the palace.

……

A tear fell without warning, Xiyue didn't look back, and walked out of the palace with her head held high, the emperor felt pain in her heart, and stretched out her long finger to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiyue's eyes.

Xiyue suddenly threw herself into Di Shangxie's arms, and asked with a choked voice.

"Shangxie, if I did something wrong, you can forgive me."

Shang Xie stretched out his hand to caress Xiyue's long hair lovingly, and hugged her tightly, his heart tightened slightly, maybe Xiyue also knew that he had guessed it?But in the end he nodded and said firmly.

"Yes, no matter what you do, I will forgive you. Who made you my future wife? As a husband, you should obey your wife's words and be a good husband."

"Stop crying, it's not that you want to force her to death, that's the way she chose."

Xiyue's tears kept overflowing, she nodded, and when she left Shang Xie's embrace, the two of them poured into the bustling market, without flying, without Yu Jian, just walking slowly side by side...
