"I have something that I must say to the Empress, and only to the Empress."
If such words didn't come from Meng Xizhou, they wouldn't be taken seriously by anyone.
Zhu Xue gently put down the teacup.
He became solemn, staring straight into Meng Xizhou's eyes.
In those clear, bright eyes, he saw countless rays of light, eyes as beautiful as a sun, but different from the sun.
Only warmth, not dazzling.
Lin Chou had seen too many people's eyes in his lifetime.
In these eyes, he also saw many souls. The world has too many secrets, but no matter how deeply they're hidden, there's always a trace… He is the Empress's brother, the Duke of the North Continent, and during the cold purge of the Privy Council last year, he was revered by countless people, all because of his eyes that could see through hearts.
Of so many people, he had never seen eyes like Meng Xizhou's.
Truly clear as a mirror, unstained.
This woman's soul had no filth, only light.
