"So what if my destiny does not have her. My heart is still filled with her and no one can empty it, not even me." ------------ I despised her. I despised how she schemed to get married to me. I despised her because of her arrogance. " Li Rui, you don't know how many times I have wished to kill you. " But all of this was my illusion. Everything was a mysterious trap of lies.

Xi Ying had just exited the Xinhe Palace when he saw an old Momo standing outside Xinhe Palace's gates.
"Greetings to Prime Minister Xi."
The old Mom bowed her head and continued
"Her Majesty, the Empress invites Prime Minister Xi to Baixue hall."
Xi Ying frowned in confusion.
Why did the Empress call him to meet?
"Lead the way."
He said coldly and the old Momo did as he said. Xi Ying had never visited Baixue hall before. In fact, he had talked to Empress alone only once in all these years of working as a Prime Minister in the Imperial Palace.
That was when he had brought Princess Wenling from the neighboring country safe from the enemies' attack.
The Empress had thanked him for his work and also had indicated indirectly if he would like to marry the princess.
Xi Ying, however, had pretended not to notice the Empress' intentions and hence she got angry and stopped on her own after that.
