Su Qingci originally thought that the half piece of pastry Xiao Che handed her when she was reading, and the words "Only you understand me" in the Zichen Palace were the sincerity given to her by the king alone.
She helped him solve the dilemma in the court by relying on the clause of "assessment of salary", and used the poem "women are not inferior to men" to block the palace banquet and make things difficult. Even if she was scolded as "a woman who talks about government affairs," she firmly believed that the promise in the imperial study "I promise you a stable life" can withstand the storms of the world.
But she didn't expect that when hundreds of officials jointly forced the palace to draft, Xiao Che's words "you are the only one in my heart" would turn into an imperial edict to make the prime minister's daughter a noble concubine. She listened to the imperial edict outside the palace, her fingernails dug into her palms and blood oozed, and she realized that the king's love always involves trade-offs.
What's even more ridiculous is that in order to contain the family, Xiao Che suddenly wanted to make her a concubine participating in politics, which caused hundreds of officials to kneel down in the palace and call her a "witch girl who is causing harm to the country".
To avoid trouble, she lied about her engagement, but what she got was Xiao Che's red-eyed house arrest and seizure. The jade pendant she had given her in the past hurt in her arms, and their love was torn to pieces by power.
Before she could recover, Beishuo's iron hoofs had already broken through the capital, and the leader was Xiao Che's half-brother Xiao Jin.
The little boy she had saved in the mountains and forests when she was a child, now wanted to take her away from Xiao Che in the name of "Qingjunzi", and even said, "Hand over Su Qingci, and I will withdraw my troops."
After the capital was destroyed, Xiao Jin locked her in the same cell with the captured Xiao Che, forced her to surrender in front of Xiao Che, and humiliated her in public at the banquet.
Xiao Che was tied with iron chains and screamed "I hate you". She endured all the humiliation with tears and obeyed Xiao Jin on the surface, but secretly contacted her old subordinates, collected evidence of crimes, and planned to restore the country.
But when she took the risk to test Xiao Che, "Do you believe me?", What she got was a sneer of "You have been Xiao Jin's person for a long time."
It wasn't until the night of the palace, when she stabbed the dagger into Xiao Jin's heart and listened to his dying words, "You didn't remember me after all," that she realized that the disaster of destroying the country actually started from a twisted youthful love.
Xiao Che wanted to make her his queen after returning to the throne, but Su Qingci was afraid of the bloody entanglement on the golden stage, so he simply faked his death and hid in a side hall of the harem.
From then on, she became the "non-existent queen" in Xiao Che's harem. She watched him rule the prosperous times and chatted with him under the candlelight every night about the time they spent reading together.
Those power struggles, betrayals, hatred and misunderstandings have all become a thing of the past, leaving only this hidden concern to accompany the two of them for the rest of their lives.
Intention: What you love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas can be leveled.
