For some reason, seeing her like this, Lu Hualiang's heart was deeply pricked.
A sudden panic arose.
"Empress."
His voice brought Xia Weibao back from her reverie.
She turned her head, her eyes still momentarily confused.
"You're back." It seemed like words she would say every day.
Lu Hualiang took steps to approach, "What are you watching so intently?"
Xia Weibao pointed to the sky, "An eagle just flew by."
In the depths of her eyes, there was a longing she herself had not noticed.
This subtle emotion was caught by Lu Hualiang, and his heart felt a sting.
Has she finally started to miss life outside?
With her personality, once the novelty of palace life faded, she was bound to long for the freedom outside.
Especially in dull moments, when it's easiest to let one's thoughts wander.
He had tried his best to make time for her, but did he still neglect her?
Suddenly fearful, afraid she would leave.
