Xie Chaoyuan always felt that the reason why he was not disgusted by this huge and deep palace was all because of Gu Qingci.
When she was a teenager, she brought him back to her home from the snowstorm, where he was competing with wild dogs for food. From then on, we spent the summer and winter together in a courtyard.
Later, he was welcomed back to the palace by an imperial edict and became the prince left behind by the late emperor among the people; she carried the medicine box and walked into the Imperial Hospital to carry a pot to prolong his life.
Later, the prince seized the throne, and every step was dangerous. Those plans that cannot be announced to the public, those secrets that cannot be seen in the light of day, gradually become a knowing thing between the two of them.
Along the way, they went from the broken lantern in the side courtyard to the nine-layered palace, from relying on each other to committing adultery.
For Xie Chaoyuan, Gu Qingci is his life and death, and he should be with him till the end of his life.
Until that night when the moon was shining like water, Gu Qingci suddenly turned around and said to him: "Brother, I want to accompany my mother to return to her roots after falling leaves, and I also want to see the mountains and rivers outside the palace."
He had just realized that Gu Qingci could live without this imperial city for the rest of his life.
Gu Qingci had always naively thought that the relationship between them was brother and sister, and they were an alliance. But Xie Chaoyuan knew that that friendship had already been corrupted into paranoid greed by him on countless scarred nights.
So he ate the poison with his own hands to win Gu Qingci's sympathy; he ordered the imperial master to choose an auspicious day in an attempt to slow down Gu Qingci's return to his hometown.
Everything is hidden in his selfishness.
Stay.
Stay in the imperial city where he is surrounded by enemies.
Who could have expected that a relocation would reveal an old case - Gu's mother did not die of an ordinary illness.
As a result, Gu Qingci had a reason to stay in the capital; and he also had an excuse to stay by Gu Qingci's side.
Gu Qingci always thought that he would live a peaceful life with a table of medical records and a room full of medicine.
It was not until later that she discovered that there was someone in this world who loved her, like the fine snow covering her shoulders or the roaring waves covering the sea.
Determination: I wish for nothing but peace in the world, and wish you a happy new year
