The night breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, and it also seemed to take away a trace of sadness in her heart. Xie Chaochao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the freshness and freedom of the night into her chest and fill herself with strength again. She knew that when the morning light illuminated the land again, she would take more determined steps to meet new challenges and protect everything she cherished.

At this moment, Xie Chaochao under the moonlight is no longer the queen bound by court struggles, but a woman who finds herself in the night and moves forward bravely. Her story, just like this bright moon, is clear and bright, illuminating the way forward and inspiring resonance of courage and persistence in every reader's heart.

The night was as dark as ink, and the silver-plate-like moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft and cool light, covering the quiet night with a mysterious veil. Xie Chaochao stood alone in a corner of the Forbidden City, her clothes swaying gently in the wind. Her eyes passed through the palace walls and fixed on the bright moon, as if she wanted to pour all her thoughts and past into this endless night.

Her heart was like being filled with a deep spring, and beneath the calm surface were surging memories. Recalling every detail of her time with Emperor Chu Heng, the days they had spent together, they slowly unfolded in her mind like a series of delicate paintings.

Chu Heng, the man who once wore a dragon robe and ruled the world, was not just an emperor in Xie Chaochao's eyes. At the moment when he was relieved of the heavy imperial power, he was more like an ordinary person who longed to be understood, an extremely gentle existence in her heart. At that time, he would personally select the most exquisite cakes for her after busy government affairs, and would walk side by side with her in the imperial garden on a moonlit night, whispering to each other about their dreams and sorrows.

Chu Heng's love is deep and unobtrusive, just like the drizzle in spring, silently nourishing Xie Chaochao's heart. He protects her silently in his own way, giving her an unprecedented sense of security and happiness. In those days surrounded by love, Xie Chaochao truly feels that even in the depths of the palace where power struggles are fierce and people's hearts are unpredictable, Chu Heng is still a harbor she can rely on, a good man who is willing to shelter her from the wind and rain.

However, things are unpredictable, and the struggles and conspiracies in the palace are like undercurrents, constantly eroding this rare tranquility and beauty. Although her heart is full of attachment and reluctance to Chu Heng, the cruel reality forces Xie Chaochao to face various challenges and choices. At this moment, standing in the moonlight, she has mixed feelings in her heart, with both nostalgia for the good old days and anxiety and uneasiness about the unknown fate in the future.

But no matter what, the time she spent with Chu Heng, like the bright stars, is forever engraved in her memory and becomes the warmest light on her way forward. Xie Chaochao knows that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as there is love in her heart, she will have the courage to face everything and pursue her own happiness and freedom. In this long and exciting journey to the palace, she is ready to welcome every unknown tomorrow.

Empress Xie Chaochao sat alone in the magnificent hall of Fengqi Palace, with carved beams and painted buildings. The moonlight outside the window was like water, gently sprinkled on the delicate window lattice, but it could not shine into the dark corner of her heart. She held tightly in her hand a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, her fingertips twisted unconsciously because of nervousness, and the delicate silk thread seemed to bear the chaos and struggle in her heart.

She didn't know how to start. The thought had been lingering in her mind for a long time, like a dark cloud covering the sun, lingering. She wanted to leave, leave this palace that imprisoned her youth and dreams, and leave the man who once made her think she could entrust her life to, but now was drifting away - Emperor Chu Heng.

Xie Chaochao closed her eyes, and the scene of her first meeting with Chu Heng emerged in her mind. At that time, he was full of vigor and vitality, and his eyes were full of infinite longing for the future. She was the ordinary woman who met him by chance in the sea of ​​flowers in spring. They fell in love at first sight, and their fates were intertwined from then on. However, time flies, and the tenderness and sweetness of the past are gradually replaced by power struggles and court conspiracies, and their hearts gradually drift apart.

She had walked alone under the palace wall countless times in the dead of night, looking at the unreachable sky, her heart filled with a desire for freedom. She longed to fly freely in the vast sky like a bird, instead of being trapped in this golden cage and becoming a phoenix without a soul.

However, she knew that this road was not easy. As the queen, every decision she made was related to the safety of the country and the reputation of the royal family. She could not be willful, selfish, or let Chu Heng fall into a dilemma because of her departure. Therefore, she could only wait, waiting for the opportunity that might never come - wait for the emperor Chu Heng to withdraw from the busy government affairs and return to this lonely palace to enjoy the moonlight with her. At that time, she would slowly tell this difficult decision.

She imagined the shock, confusion, and even anger Chu Heng felt after hearing what happened. But she also understood that this was something she had to face, and for the sake of her heart and her desire for freedom, she was willing to bear all the consequences.

As the night deepened and the palace lanterns went out one by one, Xie Chaochao's heart became brighter. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she had to go on bravely, because only in this way could she truly live out herself and find the carefree and free Xie Chaochao she once was.

However, the night was deep, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the silver light filled the magnificent palace. Empress Xie Chaochao sat alone in the gorgeous palace, waiting and waiting, but she never saw the figure she was looking forward to. Her heart could not help but ripple, like the bamboo leaves swaying gently outside the window, with a bit of uneasiness and doubt. The candlelight swayed, reflecting her delicate face, and her bright eyes flashed with complex emotions, with both gentle expectations and a hint of sadness.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every passing second seemed to be silently telling of the long wait. Xie Chaochao's fingertips gently stroked the brocade quilt embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, but the delicate touch could not soothe the waves in her heart. She sighed slightly, perhaps he was tripped up by state affairs tonight and could not get away. Thinking of this, she shook her head helplessly, ready to give up this hopeless wait, turned her head and walked towards the dragon bed that symbolized power and loneliness, intending to close her tired eyes and let dreams take away the loneliness of this night.
