How could he not know that Concubine Hua had come to him precisely because she had seized upon this point?
He had not wanted to involve himself in these struggles of palace intrigue, yet he had been forcibly dragged into them anyway.
"How did Your Ladyship gain favor back then? Why not make an issue of that again?"
Since the portraits of the woman called "Chuchu" had been hung in the Cold Palace all along without being touched, that meant someone had been specially maintaining that place.
And since the emperor had favored Concubine Hua because her manner resembled that woman, it showed that he must have deep feelings for her, and that he had never truly obtained her.
As the saying goes: a wife is inferior to a concubine, a concubine inferior to a secret lover, and a secret lover inferior to one who cannot be obtained.
That was precisely the logic.
Yue Mingxuan's words caused Concubine Hua's eyes to light up.
