I had expected this to happen, but when I mentioned Zhao'er and Ha'er, I was still stunned. I raised my eyes to look at Yang Guang, but he avoided my gaze.

Forget it, forget it. Since I have already been convicted by Yang Guang as "Mad", Zhao'er and Ke'er will naturally no longer be nurtured by me. Yang Guang dotes on Zhao'er and Ke'er, the two of them will not be able to bear the grievances, but will be implicated if they follow me, the mother of "Mad".

Thus, without any expression, he decided:

"My concubines can give up on Zhao'er and Sha'er's upbringing, but Your Majesty must swear to treat them kindly for all eternity!"

Yang Guang was stunned and then said:

"We are their royal father, how can we let them down?!"

"Of course I trust His Majesty, but I don't dare trust others!" I glanced at Xuan Hua.

Yang Guang also looked towards Xuan Hua, who quickly covered the smile on his lips, knelt on the ground, pointed to the sky, and said sincerely:

"Chenqie will see Han'er as her own son and protect her in every possible way. If I break this vow, I will be struck by lightning and my head will be torn off from my body!"

"Alright!" "Madam has always been magnanimous and has no children of her own. Naturally, she will treat Ha'er kindly and the empress should not push things too far!" Yang Guang helped Xuan Hua up as he shouted in anger.

I'm going too far? He sneered in his heart, knowing that Yang Guang and his wife had already achieved what they wanted. From then on, he was the sovereign, and from then on, I would never be able to leave the Palace of Endless Peace. From then on, we had nothing to do with each other.

From the beginning to the end, he was wary of my fate and didn't cripple me.

He flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind only me, who was covered in blood, and the grass that was drained of blood.

Chen Zhen walked in front of me like a ghost. He sneered and said with hatred:

"I never would have thought that he would still let you live, and even keep your position in the back!"

I didn't say anything, didn't say anything, didn't cry, didn't laugh, as if her words were just floating in the sky, inaudible.

When the dog was waiting for someone to help me, I was already oblivious, so I said:

"Send someone to buy a plot of land outside the palace to bury the grass." Then, he saw the figure in front of him sway, blur and then fall into the endless darkness …

I don't know how long I slept. I don't know if I would wake up again, but the dream was filled with a sky covering red.

On the other hand, my entire body was burning hot, as though my skin was on fire. Only my heart was as cold as ice.

Someone poured me bitter medicinal juice and I spat it out; someone fed me soup and pastries and I spit it out; someone forced water into my mouth and I choked and spat.

Let's do it like this. Once I die, a hundred deaths would mean that everything would be for naught.

His consciousness slowly disappeared, inch by inch, just like the trees that were about to wither in the autumn. Leaves fell to the ground one by one, turning into dust.

His heart was cold, his emotions were gone, his kindness was gone, and his destiny had run out.

There was no excuse to linger any longer to pull my fading consciousness back. It was easier to die than to live.

Just as I was about to let go of the last trace of consciousness, I suddenly heard a voice from the side of my ear:

"Granny, Miss Ying Xiu, I've heard that His Highness has been missing his mother day after day and is currently bedridden."

"What?!" My Zhao'er!

His finger moved slightly. He wanted to open his mouth, but his lips felt like they weighed tens of thousands of pounds. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them.

"Last time, it was all thanks to Lord Yuwen who secretly brought the imperial physician here. Unfortunately, the imperial physician said that the Empress was actually wholeheartedly seeking death." Ying Xiu cried.

"My lady, I beg you, for the sake of Your Highness, stop torturing my phoenix body!" It was the sound of him kneeling on the ground.

Hot tears rolled out of his eyes and slid to his ears. He then heard the dog cry out:

"Look, the princess is crying!" His words were full of excitement.

"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful!" There were a few traces of regret in the grandma's old voice.

He then heard from Ying Xiu: "Quickly get the soup and medicine!"

After that, I swallow down the bitter medicinal juice. After a moment, my body feels slightly warm and I feel a bit of strength coming from my body.

However, his eyelids still healed up like a mountain. It was as if they were stuck together and unable to be separated.

"The imperial physician said that the Empress's heart is a sore point and that her body is not seriously ill. As long as she's willing to take the medicine, her life will definitely not be in danger." He said.

"This servant kowtows to thank the lord!" Ying Xiu knelt down and thanked him with tears in her eyes.

"Miss Ying Xiu, please get up. I am responsible for saving the Empress, how can I accept this bow from you?" He pulled up his sleeves and said.

"Your excellency has bestowed grace upon me, this servant will engrave this kindness and the memory of Yongan Palace into my heart." Ying Xiu said.

"Miss does not need to speak anymore. The sun has already set and the sky is about to brighten. It's time for me to leave, and I still need Miss to take care of the Empress."

That's right, I remembered that before I fainted, I was confined by Yang Guang to the Yongan Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Only Ah Zhi, with his Qing Gong, could sneak into Yongan Palace during the night and bring news outside.

I wanted to ask how He Zhaoer was, but I couldn't make a sound, so I just let the sound of He's footsteps disappear from my ears.

Then, he fell asleep again.

When he woke up from a nightmarish dream, he felt as if his eyes were filled with blood. He tried to open his eyes in the darkness, but he was not used to it. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them again.

The setting sun was like blood, shining through the window and onto the vermilion screen. This was the source of the bright red light.

And I, am someone who has experienced life and death.

"The princess is awake!" The dog's eyes were red, as if it had not slept for several nights. Seeing me open my eyes, it cried out in joy.

Ying Xiu and her grandma both cried tears of joy as they rushed over.

He could only open his mouth after he had used some ginseng soup. He urgently asked:

"How is Zhao'er?"

He was so anxious that he wanted to cough. However, because he lacked the strength, he could not cough. He could only suppress the itch in his throat.

Ying Xiu felt a bit embarrassed. She kneeled down and said:

"May the Empress punish this servant. The Empress has been in a coma for seven days, yet the droplets of water have yet to wake up, and she refuses to wake up. This servant can only resort to this tactic to fool the Empress into seeking life." The crown prince and the princess are fine. "

I was slightly relieved and let out a soft sigh, indicating that she should get up. It was no wonder that I felt this way. After all, she had wholeheartedly done everything for me.

"Princess's body is still weak, how about some more soup?" Grandma personally brought the ginseng soup to the bedside.

I turned my head away and ignored her. Embarrassed, my mother-in-law handed over the soup to her, then left slowly with tears in her eyes.

Glancing at her desolate back, I felt a tinge of pity in my heart. However, when I thought about the tragic death of Weed, I still couldn't let it go.

Even if you want to do it for me, you shouldn't have lost your life.

"Where did this ginseng soup come from?" I wondered. Now that I am guilty, I am merciful enough to serve three meals a day in the palace. How can I supply these precious items?

"It was a servant who ordered the silver. She told Lord Yuwen to buy it outside and bring it in." Ying Xiu was slightly embarrassed as she replied.

I nodded and said:

"He is a palace guard after all. Although it is convenient to go in and out of the palace, I can't keep bothering him. If someone were to find out, I'm afraid he will be implicated."

Ying Xiu whispered, "This servant understands. Ever since the Empress fell ill, Lord Yuwen has been coming every day at the third fragment of the night. Since then, he has been more diligent in his efforts than the servants."

"It will be hard for him." I am grateful for the help he has given me in the middle of a snowstorm.

After the soup, I felt tired and went back to sleep. When I woke up, it was already the time to light the lamp. He opened his eyes and looked around. The candlelight was dim, and the silver carbon furnace was burning red. It emitted a sizzling sound.

I heard the wind blowing outside the window, but the room was still warm as spring, and there was no one in the room. I thought that I had gone to prepare dinner, so I got up shakily, put on a velvet cloak, and slowly moved out.

Just as he was about to call for help outside the side palace hall, he heard someone whispering and stood with his back against the wall, listening intently.

"Sister Ying Xiu, the north wind has been getting colder and colder these days. However, we haven't received any carbon yet, so what should we do?" The little palace maid, Qiu Qing, complained.

Ying Xiu sighed and said:

"Now that Yongan Palace is so heavily guarded and guarded, the internal affairs of the Palace have always been humble and submissive. They naturally won't treat us like how they used to, and will only save themselves a bit. Go and collect all the carbon used by our sisters, but let's add some clothes during the day and sleep in one place at night. We can't stop the carbon even though the Empress is sick. I'll go to Grandma and ask her for an idea. "

"Yes." After the two of them left, I stood there for a long time. I didn't expect that Yongan Palace would be in a difficult position.

And all of this was due to me acting on a whim. Now that I have calmed down and carefully organized my thoughts, this case is full of doubts.

Not to mention the fact that the grass was naive and would never do such a malicious thing, there were no fewer than a few people who touched the coral that day in the Eternal Blessed Palace.

Even Zhao'er had personally held it. Afterwards, he didn't wash his hands, but grabbed some pastries and ate them. There was no sign of poison at all.

However, who was it that wanted to kill me? Although Chen has always coveted the successor and wanted to take my place, Yun'er is still her biological son. No mother would do such a thing to their child.

As his mind raced, he suddenly remembered that day when Chen Chong had placed the necklace in the hands of the palace maid, it was Su Ke'er who had personally put it on Yun'er!

A few traces of shock flashed through his eyes. That's right, the last person who touched the pearl was Su Ke Er!

Su Ke'er had always been jealous of Chen Xuan's favors and had said many rude words. Could it be that because of her jealousy, she wanted to poison Yun'er? If she had hidden Gan Fei Zi in her hand that day, wouldn't it be easy for her to coat the bead?

What a great plan! Previously, he only heard his mother-in-law's alarmist words, but now, he had personally witnessed the evilness of the palace and the ruthlessness of the emperor. Thus, he felt that what his mother-in-law had said was the truth.

But what was the point of thinking about it now? I am already the 'Lunatic' Queen, whom even Zhao'er and Xing'er cannot meet. I'm afraid that I will never be able to see Yang Guang again in this life and for all eternity, and Yongan Palace is a cold palace that Yang Guang will never step into again. I simply won't even have the chance to explain myself.

Furthermore, without solid evidence, he would definitely not believe me.

A wave of hatred came over me. I felt dizzy, so I slowly slid down the wall and sat on the floor. A gust of cold wind blew through the crack in the door, and when it hit my body, the cold was so intense that I wrapped my arms around my knees and allowed the cold wind to blow through my clothes, causing even my bones to stiffen.

"Princess, Princess —" Dog called to me, his face anxious. "This place is so cold, how can I sit here?"

After finishing my words, he carried me back to the chamber.

The warmth of the sleeping quarters gradually melted the coldness from my body, but my heart was already as gray as ash, and I could no longer burn any heat.

Vaguely, he heard his mother-in-law sigh and say from the side of the bed:

"This old servant knows that the princess pitied her servant, but this old servant had no choice in the matter of the grass. If I do not do so, how can the Emperor's suspicions be dispelled? Worrygrass was a righteous child, and the old servant was deeply ashamed of her. He had to fast every day, hoping to accumulate a portion of her merits for her.

"The princess has a stubborn personality, she is only righteous and is not afraid of slanting her shadow. She does not wish to wash away the shame of her wrongdoings.

"Princess, you should understand that if you are too hard and easy to break, then you can only be soft and hard, which is the only way to survive. This old servant naturally knows that the princess does not care about power and is only willing to scheme. However, the most heartless of all is the Royal Family. When the princess tortures herself like this, it will only cause pain to the ones close to her and happiness to the enemies. "

The Heartless Emperor's clan? When I suddenly raised my eyes, I saw my mother-in-law crying uncontrollably.

Grandma did not expect me to wake up so suddenly, startled, quickly wiped away the tears, called Yi Xiu to come over and serve, and carefully retreated, as if afraid I would loathe it.

A string in her heart suddenly trembled. She hadn't noticed in the past few days that her mother-in-law seemed to have aged ten years. She called out:

"Granny!"

Grandma stopped, and before she could turn around, I called again,

"Granny!"

Grandma turned her face around, her white temples, and the deep ravine on her face, without exception, was filled with the vicissitudes of life.

"Princess, are you calling me an old servant?" The mother-in-law's face was filled with surprise and guilt.

I nodded, my mother-in-law staggered over and stood by the side of the couch, unable to stop her tears.

"This old servant made the decision without the princess' permission. Princess, please bestow the punishment upon me!"

I motioned to Ying Xiu to help me sit up, leaned against the soft cushion, took the handkerchief, wiped away the tears on my mother-in-law's face and said:

"In the past few days, I have been wrong, and shouldn't blame everything on my mother-in-law. Now, I understand that the most ruthless royal family was originally heartless. If I painstakingly seek love, wouldn't I be bringing trouble on myself?"

The grandma was pleasantly surprised, "Princess, you really think so?"

I nodded. Grandma rubbed her hands together as she said, "That's good then. As long as the princess is willing to let go of the word 'love', who in the harem can contend against the princess?"

I was silent. Grandma thought that if I let go of my worries, I would put down my pride and seek power and favor. Who knew that my heart was already dead, and I was already deeply tired of this royal family.

He had a plan in mind, but he didn't show it on the surface.
