Zhi'er knew that Long Xiyuan still had a good impression of Fu Xiru.
After all, he had admitted himself that if not for Prince Li Zheng, Fu Xiru was the most qualified Empress.
If Zhi'er hadn't burst in today, things would have developed as originally intended.
The Emperor and Empress would have had a huge quarrel, and then Fu Xiru would have forcefully taken back the opportunity to assist the Six Palaces.
It was for this reason that Long Xiyuan had become completely dissatisfied, and until her death, they met no more than three times.
Zhi'er fought for Fu Xiru's sake, at least Long Xiyuan saw that the Empress was indeed sometimes innocent.
Therefore, at this moment, it was even more important to take another step forward.
If Fu Xiru could feign some pitifulness, Long Xiyuan would surely be softened further.
After all, he didn't dislike her!
But after listening to Zhi'er, Fu Xiru merely smiled faintly.
"Zhi'er, help me up; I want to see that ginkgo tree in the courtyard."
