When it comes to matters of the heart, if one has come to terms with it and wants to let go, that is one thing.
But if one is forced to let go and cannot bear it, that is another.
Emperor Xuan was in the latter situation. Keeping Noble Consort Bing by his side would only put her in danger.
Not having her by his side made him truly miss her, thus he fell into despair.
Emperor Xuan gave a bitter smile, looking up at the now-grown Luo Shunchen, "You are my son, must you pierce my heart this way?"
Luo Shunchen shrugged, "This son dares not pierce Father Emperor's heart; I am merely speaking the truth. If Father Emperor doesn't want to hear it, you don't have to listen."
"Have a seat, you've been to the Southern Border, you must be tired."
Emperor Xuan gestured for him to sit on the chair by the bedside, "Gao He just mentioned that you went to Xianping Palace upon returning to the palace."
