I try hard to recall the scene in the script where Xia Xiaoling first meets Gu Changxiao.
At that time, he and Lady Xiao were disguised as commoners, enjoying the lantern festival outside the palace, their faces filled with wonder and joy.
The oppressive palace, the sickly father, the restrained environment - after escaping from all of this, everything seemed extraordinary, including the joy and surprise of locking eyes with Xia Xiaoling.
It was also after that glance that the crown prince sent someone to propose marriage to the household.
At night, Gu Changxiao got extremely drunk and for the first time in history, he hugged me and cried nonstop.
I didn't know if he was crying for himself or for the child he mentioned. He held me tightly, and I could hardly breathe.
[Gu Changxiao, you hurt me.]
[What did you call me?]
【Your Highness, the Crown Prince.】
【Haha, Crown Prince?】
He suddenly grabbed my neck and stared at me tightly.
"You really look a lot like her, but you're not her in the end."
"She never calls me 'Your Highness.'"
"Ling'er, no one is as good as you..."
Gu Changxiao said this and then the communication was cut off.
What does this mean?
Who exactly is the "spirit" in his mouth?
Who is Xia Xiaoling again?!
The script only mentions that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were childhood sweethearts, and after marriage, Crown Princess was greatly favored.
But what the script doesn't say is that Crown Princess she had a miscarriage after drinking the emperor's tonic.
It also doesn't say that Crown Princess she died of depression after losing her child, hanging herself.
The emperor's only purpose in doing this is to prevent the crown prince from establishing a solid foundation.
Two lives, how absurd.
From then on, Gu Changxiao began to oppose the emperor in every way, whether it was meeting Jungar Khan or the night attack the previous night, all of which he carefully planned himself, just to tell the world that he and the emperor were at odds.
As for me, because I look nine-tenths similar to the former Crown Princess and have a humble background that could disgrace the royal family, that's why the crown prince impulsively married me.
Xia Xiaoling is also the name given by Gu Changxiao during the betrothal, because the former Crown Princess was named Luo Xiaoling.
I clearly have feelings for you, how could you tell me at this moment that I am just a substitute!

The next morning, he brought me breakfast with a smile on his face, completely forgetting about last night's drunkenness.
"Next, I'm going to borderland for a few days. You stay home and rest well during this time."
"Are you going to see that Khan?"
"Mind your own business. According to the plot, Gu Changxiao is indeed planning to rebel. He is preparing to join forces with Khan to force the emperor to abdicate."
But what Gu Changxiao didn't know was that the emperor had already bribed Khan, who ended up betraying Gu Changxiao. Instead of helping him, Khan led troops to besiege Gu Changxiao's army and even took Gu Changxiao's life.
【Don't go, it's dangerous.】
"I said it's my business, you shouldn't interfere."
"You are my husband, as a wife, how can I not care and ask?"
【Haha, you understand it yourself. You know why you can marry me. Don't say such silly things in the future.】
【I beg you, please don't go.】
"Why should I beg you?"
"Because I have your child."
"What? What did you say!"
I'm actually not pregnant, but I can't just stand by and watch Gu Changxiao go to his death in vain, so I can only use this excuse.
The emperor learned about my pregnancy and sent several groups of imperial physicians to come and check my pulse, but they were all driven away by Gu Changxiao.
My lie successfully stopped Gu Changxiao, and he is not as indifferent to me as before. He accompanies me for meals and walks every day.
When I have free time, he will patiently listen to me tell the story of Foreword and the gossip from the entertainment industry.
I patiently told him over and over again not to be impulsive, not to confront the emperor again, and not to end up dying in vain.
He continued to hum while placing the back of his hand against my forehead.
I'm desperate. What do I have to do to make you believe me?
But what made me even more desperate was waking up that morning to find Gu Changxiao standing by my bed with the imperial physician.
