Countless silk flowers and handkerchiefs were thrown at Qi Haoxuan, but he remained calm as they hit him. He looked up and saw the Emperor standing at the gates of the Imperial Palace.
A smile finally appeared on his face.
Upon reaching the Emperor, Qi Haoxuan dismounted and knelt to pay his respects, but the Emperor lifted him up forcefully and embraced him tightly.
Qi Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, then hugged the Emperor back with equal fervor.
The Empress Dowager stood behind, taking out a brocade handkerchief, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eye.
...
Standing atop the highest pavilion of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor and Qi Haoxuan gazed over the entire Capital City.
Qi Haoxuan finally slowly looked up to the sky, his face gradually filled with sadness.
The Emperor naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Don't be sad, she wasn't a mortal, it was impossible for you two. It's not your fault," the Emperor gently consoled.
