Chapter 426

He wanted to refuse, but he had no strength...

He felt something was wrong, yet also felt this wasn't bad; who said only men could carry women in a princess hold...

Amidst his troubled thoughts, they had already reached the middle of the lake.

"Relax; the buoyancy of this lake water is great—if you don't exert force, our bodies will return to nature and become a single petal!"

He followed her instruction and found his body quickly floating on the surface, though his body was now clad in a layer of petal clothing.

She was the same.

The two of them gazed at the blue sky like this.

Imperial Consort Xiao said, "Once, I believed my fate was locked within this deep palace."

"He treated me not at all well!! Every time he would abuse me!"

"..."

For some reason, Imperial Consort Xiao began to speak of her past.

Hearing this, Jiang Li became somewhat entranced.

Whether it was Lance or Long Long Lisha, they were both the legitimate heirs of Norland.

All those in the world who supported the Norland main line only knew that Imperial Consort Xiao held overwhelming power, yet had never seen Imperial Consort Xiao's past.

Although he did not know why she spoke so much.

But Jiang Li simply had a feeling that everything the other party said was true.

She possessed the most beautiful face under heaven, yet after entering the imperial palace, she was merely a plaything for the second generation, an object suppressed by the palace, with various cruel atrocities inflicted upon her.

She could only endure the oppression, could only endlessly believe that the future held not a shred of hope.

Even servants and maids, when the second-generation Emperor was absent, mocked her because they had the Empress's backing.

In short, the humiliation Imperial Consort Xiao suffered within the imperial palace was no less than what a female emperor known to Jiang Li in history endured in her youth in a past life.

That was simply inhuman suffering.

She was originally kind, but in the end became evil.

She originally sought no contention, yet now she is the Female Emperor of the world.

She originally would not abandon, yet the second-generation Norland treated her merely as a piece of clothing to be discarded at will.
