Bai Zhi’er felt a secret joy in her heart.

There is a chance!

Long Xiyuan looked away: "Don’t mention her."

Bai Zhi’er, however, said, "Actually, I can help you."

"Any soul that I send off will be blessed and will soon reincarnate and be reborn in a place of fortune."

"You loved the former Empress so much, you summoned her soul many times, did she ever return?"

Not sure if it was because the sky was getting darker, but Long Xiyuan’s profile seemed somewhat unclear.

After a while, he said, "There were some fangshi who could speak to me using her voice."

"However, I later found out it was just some voice mimics."

"If you really count, no one has ever successfully brought her back."

Bai Zhi’er’s enthusiasm surged: "Then you need my help even more."

"As long as she is still in hell, I can definitely summon her for you."

"Whatever you need to say to her, you can say it."

Long Xiyuan, however, gave a slight smile: "It’s not necessary; perhaps she doesn’t want to see me."

Bai Zhi’er tilted her head: "Why?"

Long Xiyuan didn’t speak.

Instead, it was Feng Fuce who spoke in a low tone: "Because, did you force her to her death?"

Not only would Long Xiyuan investigate Bai Zhi’er and their group.

Feng Fuce would also arrange for demons to inquire about Long Xiyuan’s past from the surrounding goblins and demons.

Bai Zhi’er, at the side, was shocked.

Long Xiyuan’s sharp gaze instantly turned to Feng Fuce.

It was as if he was wondering how Feng Fuce knew about it.

Bai Zhi’er couldn’t believe it at all.

Because if someone died with hatred, there would be resentment, lingering between the brows of the wrongdoer.

But the aura around Long Xiyuan was upright, enveloped with the imperial purple aura of a True Dragon Emperor.

He didn’t seem like someone who had forced his wife to death, yet pretended to be loving in front of others. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

However, Long Xiyuan didn’t speak.

Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but step back half a step: "Did you really do it?"

Long Xiyuan frowned: "I did not. She brought about her own death."

The former Empress was also Prince Li Zheng’s student.

From the moment she approached the Emperor, Long Xiyuan knew she came with a purpose.

Prince Li Zheng constantly taught her to become the Empress, to grasp power, to be the mother of the nation.

At that time, Long Xiyuan’s imperial power was not yet stable.

He needed to feign compliance with Prince Li Zheng.

Therefore, Long Xiyuan did not refuse the former Empress’s approach.

Later, he favored her exclusively.

It wasn’t because he loved her deeply.

In the harem, loving someone the most would also bring her trouble.

The other concubines would inevitably see the former Empress as a thorn in their side.

So for a while, the former Empress always suddenly succumbed to inexplicable poisons.

Her health deteriorated rapidly.

Because of this, Long Xiyuan felt a twinge of compassion for her.

He suddenly found her innocent.

So he truly favored her for a period.

However, the former Empress seemed to know she didn’t have long to live.

She kept asking Long Xiyuan to do something for her.

For example, to promote her maternal family members or to pardon those who committed mistakes in her maternal family.

Or, to grant more power to Prince Li Zheng.

She even used her favor to persecute other concubines in the harem.

It wasn’t until that moment that Long Xiyuan realized she was completely a pawn of Prince Li Zheng.

The day Long Xiyuan laid things out, it was a gloomy day as well.

As Long Xiyuan recounted the past, his tone was somewhat indifferent and cold, yet his gaze was deeply intense.

"She coughed up blood, bedridden, unable to stand, yet she held onto my hand, asking me to punish the Princess Consort Liang."

"Just because the father of the Princess Consort Liang had submitted several memorials impeaching Prince Li Zheng."
