Chapter 507 - Was the Empress so impressive? (1/2)

Yuan Lei frowned when Gong Tian cut her words and said, ” It's not an irrelevant question.”

She felt so annoyed seeing that even he is also defending her.

' How can it not be irrelevant? What does an Empress have to do with history?'

Xie Ming was just trying to get into good books of Mr. Gong since he is a close friend of Mr. Han.

” Ms. Xie Ming, you don't need to feel anxious about it. Your question was not irrelevant at all.”

” But unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question yet. Because we don't have much evidence about his personal life or Empress. There is very brief information about Emperor Ji Cheng's personal life.” He said dejectedly.

” But I can tell you that like other rulers, he didn't have numerous concubines. He did have several consorts and an Empress which was his first wife. Unlike other rulers, he didn't keep several concubines instead had several consorts because of the matrimonial alliances.”

Xie Ming pursed her lips and nodded. Of course, she knows that. Because of his several consorts, especially Xiao Li, her life was never happy.

” This is all information that I have. There is not much information about Empress.”

' Of course, there will be no information. After all, she has already died.'

Gong Tian told everyone about some more general history of the palace while showing around.

Xie Ming was in a daze all the time. She still couldn't believe that she came to see the palace...in the future.

” Mr. Gong, can we look around by ourselves now?” Yuan Lei asked as she was tired of hearing all the history now.

She really hated this subject but Mr. Han has to bring everyone here to study history.

He pursed his lips but nodded anyway. He has told them the basic history so now they are free to go.

After that, everyone went their way to look around the palace. Some went to the garden, some went to other random places to see around.

But his lips twitched when he saw Xie Ming going into a certain direction. Normally, people don't go that side because they don't know that there is something on that side as well.

However, he knows where she was going. He pursed his lips and followed her behind.

…

Xie Ming walked towards a specific location where her chamber used to be there.

She looked at her ruined chamber with her misty eyes. She felt emotional seeing that this was the same place where she used to live but now it's all ruined. There was nothing to look at it other than the broken pillars and debris.

She was overwhelmed with all the memories and time she has spent at the palace. She was startled when she heard someone's voice.

” Why did you come here?” Gong Tian walked to her and stood beside her.

She pursed her lips and said, ” You said that we can go anywhere. So I came here. Is there any problem?”

He smirked and said, ” You can. But you seem to be very familiar with this place for someone who came here for the first time. Generally, people go to see the main palace, public court, or other important spots but you came all the way here without stopping anywhere. It's very strange.”

Xie Ming didn't turn to look at him and just sighed.

” I..just came here randomly. I don't want to go with others so I came here to get some peace.”

He raised his brows in interest and nodded. He did not say anything further about it because she doesn't look like she wanted to talk about it.
