SIDE STORY 1: AFTER HE LEFT

Five months after the coup by Liu Erniang and Liu Wang, the Imperial Palace finally sentenced the two men to death. At ten o'clock in the early autumn, the two were executed in the imperial city square in the presence of many.

There was no better punishment for the two men. Killing and allying with the southerners by pitting against Bingyue and Chen, making King Changle a scapegoat, was already an unforgivable big mistake.

In fact, death was not enough to punish them both. Liu Erniang who had poisoned Emperor Baili was supposed to be whipped first, only to be executed.

After Consort Xian died, all of his servants became government slaves and were exiled. The rest were returned to the Inner Palace Division to be resettled.

At that time, the situation was relatively stable. Thanks to the medicine left behind by Princess Consort Changle, the poison in Emperor Baili's body was successfully removed and his body returned to health. Now, he could already sit on his throne again.

However, there is something different than usual. Now, the court no longer had a state overseer.

The man, King Changle aka Baili Qingchen, had begged his nephew to give him a resignation permit a few days after he was cured. Baili Qingchen resigned from the position of State Supervisor and legal guardian of the Emperor, then handed over his title to Emperor Baili.

In the end, Emperor Baili now ruled alone. Baili Qingchen had issued a secret decree from her brother, then it was a sign that her task was done. However, he never handed over the golden tiger plaque controlling Jingyi Cavalry, and the plaque remained in his hands.

One afternoon, he was standing staring at a peach tree in the western courtyard whose leaves had fallen. Since stepping down from the court, he has spent much of his time here, where his wife has gone.

One remaining strand of peach leaves fell on his palm. The wind was blowing slowly. Baili Qingchen sighed, then turned her head when she saw the figure of Cui Kong walking into the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, the palace has sent word. The coronation will be in two days."

"Ah... An Empress Bingyue would eventually still be chosen."

His nephew had asked for his opinion regarding the coronation of the new empress. His niece felt she needed an empress and it was about time that happened. He then said that he wanted to appoint Consort Jia as empress.

Well, her niece still chose an empress based on her pregnancy. This time, Baili Qingchen did not comment much. He simply said that Consort Jia was good enough and all the decisions were in the hands of Emperor Baili.

In a way, Emperor Baili was converted after that day. His respect became even higher to Baili Qingchen, his trust had also fallen entirely. His nephew was no longer wary of him, it was even more fitting to say that he regarded Baili Qingchen as his full-fledged.

Cui Kong simply fell silent at the words of his master. Despite his retreat, Emperor Baili never gave him permission to renounce his title. Regarding the state watchdog, it is still acceptable. But regarding the title of king, Emperor Baili still wanted his uncle to use the title.

"Your Majesty, the wind is too strong. Does Your Majesty want to rest in Her Majesty's room?"

Baili Qingchen shook her head. His heart did feel a loss, but that did not mean he was falling. Baili Qingchen only missed him so often. He will stand here, looking at the peach tree while holding tightly to the pendant of the woman's relics.

Cui Kong then left, letting his king calm down. Baili Qingchen ignored him, then returned engrossed in staring at the fallen peach tree.

"It's mid-autumn. Woman, are you really okay in there?"

He said it while gripping the locket tightly. His fingers stroked the surface of the pendant, it was suddenly that the aura around changed. The moment Baili Qingchen opened her eyes, she was extremely shocked.

Because, what he saw now was no longer a western courtyard in his mansion, but a beautiful nature that he had always dreamed of! No, not the one he dreamed of, but the one he saw a few months ago!

The man set his foot on the soft green grass. His gaze swept around. Now, he could clearly see every detail of this place.

The tall waterfall, the small clear pond, the peach trees that never molt and fall, the medicinal fields, the huts, were all completely in front of him. As Baili Qingchen walked into the hut, she saw an abundance of familiar furniture and strange items that she could not remember.

"So, this is where you always hide, Princess Empress?" ask him in an empty room.

That place was probably the residence of his empress when she was not in the mansion. It was only fitting that Baili Qingchen could not find him anywhere when he disappeared.

Baili Qingchen opened a closet, then saw many clothes in different models hanging and neatly arranged. Including, strange clothes that he often saw used by his wife, who he thought was lacking the material.

She smiles. It would be nice if her Empress Princess was here, with him. Baili Qingchen would not feel this lonely. He may look fine, but no one knows if he is holding back his loneliness and longing.

After the woman left, Baili Qingchen was like a traveller who was walking in an uncertain direction in this world.

"Then let me take care of this place for you."
