Jiang Baisheng was trembling in fear as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Zeyu,
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I'm not Japanese, I'm…He deceived me."
Jiang Baisheng regretted it to death. He fell in love with Li Xiangxiang at first sight at the temple fair. When he returned, he prepared a gift and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage. However, he heard the news that Li Wei sent Li Xiangxiang to the palace.
At that time, Jiang Baisheng still had a glimmer of hope. The Emperor did not get close to women. Even if Li Xiangxiang were as beautiful as a fairy, he would not take her as a concubine. As long as she worked in the palace for three years, she could leave the palace and get married. He could wait for Li Xiangxiang for three years.
