After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 674: Breaking off Friendship
Ye Chuanxin had been seriously ill for many days. He lay in bed looking emaciated and it seemed like he had difficulty breathing in and out.

Today, the director of the Imperial Hospital was kneeling in front of me, begging in tears to retire and return home, but I refused.

I looked at the hospital director gently and told him, "Don't panic, just treat it as it should be. It's normal for your Majesty to die. The imperial physician is just a doctor, not a god. If he can't cure me, I won't hold your whole family accountable."

Yuan Zheng left with tears of gratitude, and the whole palace seemed desolate and cold, without any vitality at all.

I sat in front of the dressing mirror and asked Ying'er with a smile, "Do you think I have aged a bit in the past two years? My temples seem to be covered with white frost."

Ying'er shook her head repeatedly and dared not look me in the eyes.

I looked at her calmly. This personal maid who had been with me since childhood, had accompanied me into the palace and had been with me all the way to this day.

Three years is neither a long nor a short time, but I know in my heart that I may have changed a lot.

Three years ago, Ye Chuanxin returned from Hanzhong City with hemiplegia.

I don't know what happened to them at that time, but one thing is clear, Yechuan Xinding and Yu Linlang broke up.

Over the past three years, Ye Chuanxin had a very difficult time. The court officials had requested the emperor to make himself the emperor emeritus and to appoint the third son, Ye Yunyan, as the new emperor.

Ye Chuanxin single-handedly suppressed all the pressure. He was in poor health normally, and after being injured, his temper became even more sharp and he kept his word.

Over the past three years, I have used my gentleness to heal the wounds in his heart time and time again, allowing him to hand over the power in his hands to me little by little.

Although I did it, I felt that the palace seemed even more desolate.

The prince is only three years old. I don’t know whether he can conquer the world of Qi in the future. I only know that he has to go on even if he can’t.

If my mother and I weren't ruthless enough, we wouldn't have come this far and would never have reached such heights.

When night fell, the whole palace looked cold and rainy.

It's clearly a life of high bed, warm pillow, jade cups and golden curtains, but there's not a single bit of human touch at all.

It's raining outside the window.

I read the memorials until midnight, and the young eunuch asked me to go to sleep tremblingly.

Even though I was tossing and turning in bed, I could still clearly hear the sound of rain outside the window.

Gradually, the sound of strong wind and heavy rain came, accompanying footsteps.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wang's voice was shaking.

I was startled and sat up immediately, my forehead covered with cold sweat.

This voice belongs to... the most useful eunuch Wang beside Ye Chuanxin.

I knew very well in my heart that Ye Chuanxin was really going to die.

Starting tomorrow, I will have a tough battle to fight!
But it doesn't matter, I'm fully prepared.

The only person I can rely on in this world is myself.

Isn't it for this day that I am working so hard and cautiously?

If my mother and I want to live, those who resist must die.

When I hurried to Ye Chuanxin's bedroom, Yuanzheng and others were already kneeling on the ground crying.

I closed my eyes and walked into the palace filled with rich sandalwood.

The pungent fragrance still couldn't cover up the stench on Ye Chuan Xin's body.

Perhaps... it is essentially the smell of decay and decay in this palace.

They irritated my nasal cavity and made it difficult for me to breathe.

I took a deep breath, walked forward calmly, and glanced coldly at Ye Chuanxin's skinny body.

"The Emperor...is gone." I heard my own voice like an old, shabby bellows, drawing a long scratch in the air.

That night, it seemed that something that had been awaited for a long time had finally come true, and there weren't too many surprises.

I calmly announced a series of orders and dragged my tired body back to my cold nest until dawn.

I had rested for less than an hour when palace maids came in and helped me get up.

I don’t know if it’s because of lack of sleep, but my head is aching slightly.

In front of the makeup mirror, even with a thick layer of powder on, it couldn't hide the dark circles and fatigue under my eyes. "Madam." Ying'er took care of her hair and spoke carefully, "Madam Li was dancing crazily in the back garden last night. I don't know how she slipped and fell into the well. She was not found until the early morning."

I nodded, not even bothering to sigh, and only said, "He's a poor man, so just bury him the way he deserves."

Ying'er helped me up and walked slowly to the bronze mirror standing on the ground.

"Let the nurse who poisoned the little prince go with Concubine Li, so that she won't be too miserable on the road."

"Yes, your Majesty." Ying'er responded with lowered eyebrows and was about to leave.

My sight suddenly fell on the side of the bronze mirror and the flower stand. My heart was shaken and my pupils suddenly shrank.

"what is that?"

Ying'er was stunned, looked up and followed my gaze, and took a small sachet from the flower stand with a suspicious look on her face.

"It's a sachet, why is it hanging here?" She was puzzled. Just as she was about to lower her head to look at the sachet, I took two steps forward and snatched it away.

Ying'er was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, saying with great fear and trepidation, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

I couldn't hear a word he said.

He stared at the sachet in his hand, took a deep breath and turned it over.

It is this sachet that I embroidered myself. It may not be very exquisite, but it is a token of my love.

No matter how many years pass, I will never forget it.

That lonely magnolia flower now looks very eye-catching.

I suddenly recalled her every smile and frown back then.

——The true color and subtle fragrance remain unchanged, and they stand side by side with the winter orchid, which is indisputable.

It seems like all of this is far away from me now.

"I heard that Prince Pingkang also went to Weizhou Prefecture to relax and have fun?"

"Yes, yes ma'am."

"She gave birth to a girl?"

"Yes. Yes." Ying'er was a little nervous, not knowing why the Queen suddenly brought up these things.

Over the years, as time went by, she found it increasingly difficult to understand her own young lady.

Every time I look at her, it's as if there's a layer of mist between us, and I can't figure out what she's thinking at all.

"Prepare a generous gift and send it to Weizhou Prefecture." I closed my eyes and sighed.

What a good friend he was, and I lost him just like that.

"Also, have people withdraw all the personnel stationed near the Su residence in Weizhou Prefecture."

Ying'er was startled and looked up suddenly.

Today I am just returning the sachet, but someday she will take my life.

This sachet is both a warning and a declaration.

So what if it’s the imperial palace? Someone as free and unrestrained as her can come and go as she pleases.

She wanted to tell me not to play tricks, and that she didn't take the palace masters seriously at all.

I smiled bitterly, pursed my lips and lowered my eyes, "Go and bring the emperor here. We are going to attend the ceremony."

In the future, I am destined to be the only one walking this thorny road.

I have no other choice but to keep going like this.

Don't rely on anyone, and don't need anyone.

I opened the sachet, took out the note, and burned it.

【Congratulations, you have chosen the path you want to take. 】

Facing the morning light, I walked out step by step, dignified and confident...

I want to be an orchid that never withers even in the coldest winter.
