"Your Majesty, it has been three days since the princess was sent to the side palace as a punishment by you."
"Did she admit her mistake?"
"No, she left with your secret guard on the first night."
1.
Xie Yao is the legitimate daughter of the wealthy Xie family. For the benefit of the family, she married Lu Qi, the king of Lin'an, to help him ascend the throne.
Xie Yao did her best to help Lu Qi deal with the princes vying for the throne.
One night, while she was walking in the garden, she accidentally saw her husband having a private meeting with another woman. The two conspired together. After King Lin'an succeeded to the throne, he would depose Xie Yao and make this beloved concubine his queen.
Also witnessing this scene were Lu Qi's secret guards.
The secret guard asked Xie Yao: Princess, do you want to eat melon seeds?
Xie Yao nodded: Yes, thank you.
Xie Yao hid in the corner with the secret guard, cracking melon seeds and listening to her husband's plan: how to secretly get rid of her as his wife after the incident was completed.
2.
The marriage between the Xie and Lu families brought about both prosperity and loss.
Even though she knew Lu Qi's plan, Xie Yao had to continue to help him deal with foreign enemies for the sake of the Xie family.
However, Xie Yao was surprised to find that Lu Qi's attitude towards her was different from what she expected.
From the initial mutual respect to each other, to the subsequent meticulous care, Lu Qi became more and more gentle and considerate towards her, as if he really wanted to be a loving couple with her.
Xie Yao continued to hide in the corner with the secret guard and eat melon seeds: Ha, man. The nicer he treats you on the surface, the more he wants to harm you in his heart.
3.
Lu Qi succeeded in taking the throne.
In order to protect herself, Xie Yao used the escape plan she had already designed, left the palace with the secret guards, and flew away.
The two were living freely among the people, but they kept hearing rumors in the palace: the new emperor seemed to have gone crazy and kept sending people to look for his princess, his queen.
Later, Xie Yao met Lu Qi again, and her eyes turned red when she saw the ninety-five-year-old emperor.

Lu Qi, the king of Lin'an, married his wife. He originally thought that the two were marrying for profit and had no feelings at all. They only planned to respect each other as ice and become a couple who are close to each other.
But he failed to realize that he had unknowingly fallen in love with this extremely talented and intelligent wife.
By the time he realizes his feelings later, he is deeply in love and cannot extricate himself.
After becoming the emperor, Lu Qi planned to ennoble the princess as his queen, give her three thousand favors, and become a divine couple with her.
Unexpectedly, on the night after his succession ceremony, his beloved wife and his secret guard disappeared at the same time.
