In the first year of Chenghe, Xiao Lie ascended the throne.
On the day he ascended the throne, an assassination caused the new emperor to lose his memory for three years.
He remembers Jiangshan Sheji and Iron Horse Glacier.
He only forgot about the person who accompanied him out of the snowstorm in the fiefdom - Gu Qingci.
Everyone told him that Gu Qingci was the person he trusted most, the counselor who accompanied him through life and death, and the lover he held close to his heart.
But Xiao Lie didn't remember it.
He didn't understand why he allowed a minister to enter and leave the palace freely, and there were old clothes left by him on his pillow;
He also didn't understand why when Gu Qingci approached, he clearly resisted in his heart, but his body had already gotten used to it;
He also didn't understand why every time he saw Gu Qingci joking with others, he would feel an almost out-of-control possessiveness in his heart.
Reason told him that he should keep distance from this "lover".
So he took back the high position he had promised before, treated him with the most alienated courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and pushed people away step by step.
He thought that this was the only way to be sober and good for both of them.
Until Gu Qing resigned and handed in his last letter of resignation.
Xiao Lie suppressed the memorial and only allowed him to rest behind closed doors.
He thought that Gu Qingci was just tired and would come back naturally after recovering from his illness.
But a few days later, his subordinate reported back——
Mr. Gu has been away from Beijing for several days.
At that moment, Xiao Lie finally panicked.
Before my mind could react, there was only one thought left in my mind:
Who allowed him to leave?
Who allowed him to... Just abandon me like this?
Intention: No big deal
