Many people believe that the existence of the Long Life Palace is largely based on the Son of Heaven's compassion and favoritism...
The stupidity, greed, and audacity of Concubine Lei, once exposed, would almost strip away the foundation upon which the Long Life Palace exists.
That's why Gongsun Yu would rather cut off his own tongue to keep the secret. Because the truth is not dignified for the Long Life Palace.
That's why Feng Gu remained silent while Jiang Wuqi was alive. Because after Concubine Lei's death, his life's meaning was to protect Jiang Wuqi.
But Jiang Wuqi is now dead as well...
What use is the Son of Heaven's love?
The Son of Heaven loved Concubine Lei dearly, but Concubine Lei is already dead.
The Son of Heaven described his grief over losing Jiang Wuqi as "immeasurable sorrow," but Jiang Wuqi is also dead.
