Su Ji regained consciousness alone in the array. There was no one else around.

As for the original owner, the situation was exactly the same as hers.

Bian Tong had left behind a pile of treasures, but Prince Huai did not leave anything.

He sent Su Ji to the designated location and saw her wearing the jade bracelet he had given her and standing at the designated location. The moment the ritual began, her body glowed.

He said the name “Tangyuan”.

Then, when he realized that Su Ji had already left, he immediately left on his horse.

Therefore, when the original owner returned, there was no one around.

Prince Huai was gone.

The carriage was gone.

Even her personal palace maid, Wu Zhu’er...was not there!

At that time, the original owner’s expression was like

She promised to return to the Great Shang with the intention of sacrificing herself, but this was the treatment she received.

For the original owner who was usually too embarrassed to even ask for directions from passers-by, this was the first time she wanted to be independent.

After that, everything went smoother than she had imagined. When she spoke for the first time, she would realize that it was not difficult to communicate with others and express her request.

Even if she was rejected, it was not something to be afraid of.

The evening sun shone on the main hall of the Imperial Palace. The golden light was dazzling. At that moment, she arrived at the palace gate on the donkey cart of a kind farmer.

Then, under the farmer’s astonished expression, she took out her waist tag and showed it to the guards.

The farmer:

He thought that he would send her home after the guards chased her out, but... she was really the Consort Dowager?

The original owner bowed obediently to thank him, and then took out a money bag.

During the year she was in the Great Shang, she had been hiding in her bedroom.

She never left the house, nor had she ever cared about money.

Fortunately, the Consort Dowager had some.

Seeing that the old farmer was about to leave, she didn’t have time to check how much money was in the bag and stuffed it into the farmer’s hand.

The farmer definitely did not want it.

She frowned strangely.

She wondered what kind of hairstyle Consort Dowager was wearing today.

When she looked up again, she realized that Ai Yan and Ai Meng were also looking at her with their mouths open. Their chins had fallen to the ground and they had forgotten to pick them up.

“What’s wrong?” The original owner touched her face. “Is there something on my face?”

“No, no, no...” Ai Meng stuttered like a recorder.

Ai Yan was more flexible, so she smiled awkwardly. “Your Highness looks good no matter what.”

When she returned, the original owner pulled the bronze mirror before her eyes.

A second later, her jaw dropped!

At this moment, she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and her hat was slanted on her head. On top of it was a small hairpin, and her hair was casually tied up inside. It was unknown who the Consort Dowager had fought with, but her entire body was covered in dust. There was also coagulated blood on her cheeks.

Therefore, she couldn’t reach her hair even though she had been doing it for a long time.

That was why Musician Xiao was surprised to see her just now!

She thought about how she had thought too highly of herself just now and thought that Xiao Musician recognized her. The original owner was speechless.

An incomparable sense of defeat overwhelmed her!

She rushed out of the door and asked Ai Yan to prepare the bath. She also asked Ai Meng to bring in the files that she had just seen on the table in the hall.

She wanted to turn her grief and indignation into strength. She wanted to show off her acting skills in tomorrow’s morning court session and hold an audience!

Ai Yan and Ai Meng responded. They were relieved to see that their Consort Dowager was so energetic.

The rose petals for her bath were used up. Ai Yan left the Consort Dowager’s bedroom and went outside to get more.

But then she realized that Musician Xiao...was still standing at the entrance.

His tall figure was like a pine tree or cypress, exceptionally eye-catching.

Musician Xiao did not look sideways, only looking at her bedroom.

His expression was thoughtful. After a long while, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.

He was stunned, but not because of her outfit.

He was stunned because of the way the original owner looked at him.

That gaze was shy, and her ears turned red.

He could almost instantly confirm that it was not the real Consort Dowager’s gaze...

Beneath his cynical appearance, there was a hidden ecstasy. He took out the flute on his back. The morning glory pendant swayed lightly

The original owner was right..
