Jiang Ning thought to himself, the Emperor is now frolicking among the young concubines in the harem, living a life of incomparable joy.
It seems that he has fully recovered from the grief of Concubine Jin's death.
Does he still remember Concubine Jin?
Or does he, having found a replacement in Concubine Zhu, forget about Jin Zhuzhu?
Emperors are truly the most heartless.
Perhaps it's a blessing that Concubine Jin had a keen sense of the harsh realities of the world, and had never held too many expectations of the Emperor, never given her heart sincerely. Otherwise, if her spirit knew of the current situation, it would likely be troubled in the afterlife.
The mere fact he still hesitates to move the Empress reveals how much of his love for Concubine Jin was real, and how much was an act.
That unbearable grief, that inability to free himself, was not entirely feigned.
Perhaps he acted so well he even convinced himself.
