The Emperor sighed again after speaking, knowing that some things would inevitably remain beyond his control, even if he could start over.
Sometimes people are too greedy, wanting to have everything, and the more they want, the less they get.
When the Empress heard the words "start over", she suddenly thought of a question Ye Chu once asked her: if she could choose again, would she still choose to enter the palace?
After so many years, she still didn't know the answer.
"Your Majesty really knows how to joke," said the Empress. "If you truly liked the way I was before, why then cultivate me to be as I am now?"
After saying this, the Empress continued bandaging his wounds. Once she finished, she helped the Emperor dress and covered him with a quilt.
The Emperor grabbed the Empress's hand, "Empress."
The Empress looked at him, "Do you need anything else, Your Majesty?"
The Emperor gazed at the Empress for a long time before finally asking, "Do you believe me?"
