Chapter 786 - No Regrets. The End!! (1/2)
The next day,
Liwei glanced at Xie Ming who was driving the car and shoved him in the passenger seat. It's been a while since she got her driving license but it was her first time driving and taking him somewhere.
” Xie Ming, where are we going? You're driving for an hour now.” He said in confusion. Today she was being all mysterious and insisted on taking him somewhere, god knows where.
Xie Ming who was holding onto the steering wheel with both of her hands tightly and was focusing on the road and blinked upon hearing his words. Although she has learned to drive and got her license, it was her first time driving him somewhere officially and her palms are literally sweating.
She wanted to reply but she was too nervous that she might distract and hit the other car in front of her.
Seeing her nervous, Liwei pursed his lips and shut his mouth. He took a deep breath and held onto the handle over his head, hoping to reach their destination alive.

Another hour passed when Xie Ming parked the car and sighed in relief, ” Finally we're here.”
Liwei who was holding onto his breath sighed in relief when they finally reached and were alive, he glanced at the place where she stopped and raised his brows. He turned to look at her in surprise, ”This…”
She smiled and said, ” Isn't it amazing? I wanted to come here with you once.” she said as she removed her seat belt and got out of the car.
Liwei followed her and was speechless seeing the Ji palace that used to be nothing but a heap of ruins has been reconstructed and turned into a magnificent palace with the guards guarding the entrance as it has been made into a tourist place and a museum has been established inside the palace to showcase the findings of the Ji Dynasty that they have found in these past years.
The last time when they came here was when they performed the ritual to end the cycle of the curse and since it was the night at that time, he couldn't see anything clearly. But now when he was looking at it, it was more magnificent and beautiful than what he has seen in the pictures or articles that were published in the newspapers.
” Let's go.” Xie Ming held onto his head and entered the palace after buying the ticket. She can't believe that the palace where she used to live has turned into a tourist place.
She, the Empress of Ji Dynasty, Ahem...The Ex-Empress of the Ji Dynasty has to pay to enter the palace. What an irony.

[Ji Dynasty is known as the hidden gem among historians. It's only in recent years that they have found this palace that was away from the city and was in ruins. When its reconstruction work started, no one knew its history due to the lack of materials. However, in the past few years, they have found quite a lot of journals and doc.u.ments written by the Empress of Ji Dynasty who has written all the important events, working of the palace and harem, the political and economical aspects of the country in detail.]
[ This dynasty is known for its power and developing policies but is also famous for the love story of Emperor Ji Cheng and Empress Zhao Ming. In her journals, she has mentioned The Emperor of the Ji Dynasty as Empress slave. The Emperor and Empress have made significant policies for the empowerment of the women and even abolished the system of many wives that was common among the royals and the nobles in the past]
Xie Ming was not even surprised after hearing such things from the touring guide who was explaining about the palace and its history while giving the tour of the palace. It was expected of Zhao Ming, she can do anything. When she met her, she was also surprised at the way she confronted Ji Cheng and used to treat him casually.
