I’ve always wondered if one of the reasons why Xiao Feng is so memorable is because her story is so heartbreaking.…
In the novel, she died in the Li Empire. Who could take away the body except LCY? Pei Zhao's visit to her grave is another clue that LCY repatriated XF's body to Western Liang.
Otherwise, how did Pei Zhao know where she was buried in Western Liang?
These are not explicitly detailed in the novel but only LCY could give up XF's body as she was his official wife.

XF wanted LCY to feel the loss of his loved ones. That's why she chose suicide. Her suicide was an act of revenge against LCY.
But, she never knew LCY was willing to return her body to Western Liang where she was burried following her death.
This last act for XF is a sign of LCY's love for her. Had he been possessive, XF would have been buried in the imperial mausoleum with him.
Who on earth would wish to be separated in death with his loved one? This gesture proves that LCY was willing to give in for XF for the last time even if he knew he would miss her forever without her presence in his country.
Now I watch Immortal Samsara before this, so I find Xuan Ye/Ran Jing's love story quite similar. I'd want to give…
He regretted his actions. This shows he was a human being too. That's why he jumped into the river knowing that it would be the end of his life.
He was willing to die with XF.
In Pei Zhao's side story, LCY was intelligent and diligent. PZ had never seen him lose his mind over a person. That's why the former had an uneasy feeling after seeing LCY and XF laughing at the gerbils knowing the moment of happiness would not last once she had found out about LCY's plan.
LCY had to carry out the plan as a future Emperor who wanted stability but he had to gamble away his own happiness.
Even after they were married, LCY's subsoncious had never forgotten his love for XF. He gradually fell in love with her.

Yes, in the series, LCY was warned by the monk at the temple not to force XF do anything but instead to let things go with the flow.
However, after the massacre, LCY didn't really need XF to cement his status as the Crown Prince of the Li Empire.
When he jumped into the river with her, he said to her that he would like to forget with her about everything that cause her distress.
LCY did truly love XF but each time he assaulted XF, he was LCY, not GXW. GXW would never hurt XF. The time he recovered his memory was the moment XF jumped off the wall. She saw his tears. GXW had returned but it was too late for both. XF's heart had died.
LCY had never been seen crying even when he was little, according to Pei Zhao. But, he cried three times in the novel: the first time he saw Xiao Xue, the cat he gave to XF, after he and XF were saved by Pei Zhao; the last time XF and LCY's eyes met following her suicide attempt; and the scene where Pei Zhao visited him following the death of his only daughter.
A cold-blooded killer doesn't regret about his actions but in LCY's case, he did regret his actions which made him a human and a man who loved his only woman.
Comparing his treatment on ZSS and Xu Bao Lin, it could be concluded LCY's heart had only XF. XBL carried his child but he let ZSS kill it because he had never wanted the child nor the woman. Both mother and child were just nothing to him. He had never visited XBL the day she died from a broken heart.
ZSS was discarded like an old fan once her use by date expired. He let her die although there was a brief moment he was contemplating about his decision. ZSS had harmed XF before so she must die.
Guess what? I am now in love with the series.
Maybe I have watched GBMP too many times until my subconscious disallows myself to continue watching new tv series starring PXR.
In the 1st side story, Pei Zhao says he visited her grave ten years ago.

XF is his Achilles' heel.
Otherwise, how did Pei Zhao know where she was buried in Western Liang?
