There was a huge fire and most of the imperial family's children and spouses lost their lives to the fire, Zheng Qiao lost someone too important in that fire. His brother played a father figure to him.
"GEGE!!!!"
The news killed Zheng Qiao. He knew inside the fire wasn't an accident he planned for months, and a year passed Zheng Qiao launched a rebellion. Severing the heads of his remaining siblings and only the 5th prince remained along with the emperor and Wen Ying.
The emperor glared at him, "you dared def-"
Zheng Qiao flung a dagger in his right eye and screamed out in sheer pain. "That's all I want to hear from you....... pain like what you cost me..... not a bit of love... No attention.... even if it was the smallest gesture.... a lie.... anything... As a father..... you failed"
Zheng Qiao unsheathed his sword and soon went to attack the prince, the cling defense brute force. The prince was strong but Zheng Qiao's hatred was stronger and in this fierce battle he removed the head of his brother, staining the throne with blood.
"Qiao e-"
Before Wen Ying could hug Zheng Qiao he placed a sword at his throat ready to pierced it.
"It was no coincidence that when Wen Xia was discovered, someone informed the prince, some close to us my brother nor my sister knew I was with Xiaxia. So how was it possible for the prince to know about our child unless someone convinced him" he said unhinged.
Wen Ying smiled, showing no remorse or desire to deny. "She was standing in the way of my goal..... she needed to go"
His eyes widen in shock, "you killed my moonlight-"
"She needed to die, in order for me to return home I needed to replace her" Wen Ying said with no remorse
"You could have returned home anytime!"
"That place is not my home! My home, my family, my life is elsewhere! This is hell and in order to reach there I must acquire the right ending with you" he smiled deranged
Zheng Qiao was confused by his words and now felt pure hatred and disgust he then grabbed him by his throat. "My Jiejie's death, were you responsible as well?"
"Honestly she took her life" he smiled blankly
"Then there is no other reaso-"
"Well I did possibly had something to do with it, but even if I admit all that I've done you won't kill me"
Qiao tightened his grip and Wen Ying was choking but then uttered, "..he....r ash..es"
He then released his grip and threw her to the ground and looked over him.
"...... what?!"
"Yes" he robs his neck, "Wen Xia and your precious son's ashes I have them all. Before you doubt I dug up the copped corpses and burned them. I felt I might need them how write I am" he smiled
"Your sick" Zheng Qiao said disgusted
"Yes I am. I'm very homesick. I want to go home to my family, my husband and my kids. My mom dad and even brother this place this place is not home"
Zheng Qiao didn't care that he has lost all feelings for Wen Ying, he kicked him over.
"Give it to me" he commands
"If I do, you'll kill me. I've come too for I'm close I know it" he moved off his foot. "Make me your empress, and I won't destroy the ashes"
"I can just find it myself"
"You won't either I know there if you want those ashes safe do as I say. If not for me..... for Yingjie"
Zheng Qiao wanted to end him right then and there but could he risk it? His moonlight, his son? Of course not, he released Wen Ying and married him.
But didn't touch him, closing his heart off to anyone, then a few years later one arrogant spouse drugged him. The same uncomfortable and disgusting feeling returned but some time later he changed. Something different.
It was strange but refreshing all the same brutal cold, but there was kindness and he was always just drawn to it naturally.
Le Huan looked at him, "why didn't you investigate if I really had taken the life of my children" he asked sternly
"I did, but nothing was a missed, no set up nothing out of the ordinary maybe you had taken the cure but the babies survived" he said
He then hugged him gently and tightly, "I'm sorry for the injustice I gave you" the emperor said softly patting his back.
Le Huan was silent. It was not him whom this apology belongs to as for Na Juan he himself owes the emperor an apology, the remainder of the trauma he went through.
It didn't justify his behavior but he understood better now the emperor is in some way just a grieving child. Growing up unloved by his father gave his children his best to the extent he spoiled them, not a husband just an emperor doing his job.
In this era it's natural to have many spouses. Le Huan has his modern ideals, sharing his love with others he'd never accept. But it seems he is willing for him.

.The children were playing with the empress dowager.
"Grandma, hwere Shuang drew seomething" Shuang said excitingly
"Hmp! Xian dwrew bwetter!" Xian argues back
"Naha!"
"Ywes!"
"Shuang, Xian don't argue. Rui doesn't like it" the empress dowager said
"Besides no one draws better than the amazing Shui hehehehe" Zheng Shui flaunts his drawing
The empress dowager frowns then pulls Shui's ear. "You should be setting an example instead of competing with children" the empress dowager scolds.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! You're not being a fair grandmother! I am setting an example by being better than them so they can strive for new heights!" He said out loud
"Bwut bwrother isn't very twall?" Xian tilts his head confused
"Not that height!"
The empress dowager released his ear then sat back down and continued sewing, Fangsu and Jie'er observed while copying their grandmother. Zheng Yingjie simply sipped the sea that the servants had served him.
The empress palace was noisey but she didn't mind she quite enjoyed it.
