"Since it has come to this," Ye Qichi said, "then I also have no expectations for you anymore."
"There is no need."
"Xiao Jinxing, my giving up on you is a choice you made yourself."
"Yes."
"Don't hate me," Ye Qichi articulated each word clearly.
"Without love, where does hate come from?!" Xiao Jinxing spoke bluntly.
"Very well." Ye Qichi made up her mind, she turned back, and said to the Empress, "Empress, I need to confirm one more thing."
"Speak," Yu Qingyuan at this moment, naturally felt Ye Qichi's compromise.
Basically, she thought she had been saved.
"Will you truly not kill me?"
"The words spoken by this palace are as heavy as nine tripods. And I understand you, as a woman, who hasn't been foolish for love?! If it were not for being deceived in love by Xiao Zhanping in the past, would I have lived to become what I am now. I empathize with you, naturally, I will not hold past grudges."
