Gu Yuniang looked at her and slowly calmed her sorrowful heart. "Alright, let's go. Let's leave this place together!" The Imperial Palace felt like a giant cage, burying their love and happiness within its walls.
Ugly Girl forced a smile. "Me? I... can't leave! If... I hadn't deceived myself back then... if I hadn't returned to the Imperial Palace... perhaps... I would have lived happier outside..."
As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on her face. Her eyes drifted into the distance, filled with infinite tenderness.
Even if she was about to die soon, even if she had endured so much suffering.
But she had never regretted loving him...
Suddenly, the scene of their first encounter when she was ten years old flashed in her mind, mingling among a group of ragged beggars.
His clean and slender hand gently brushed over her dirty little face as he softly said, "Little sister, would you like to come with your brother? In the future, I will make you very happy and very joyful."
In Eunuch Ronghua's young heart, this man was like an angel. Without any hesitation, she simply replied, "I would!"
For this promise, she ultimately sacrificed her entire life.
If a person is destined to have a title in their lifetime, then she never wanted to be anything like Hua Fei. What she wanted was to be that person's wife! But this wish was a dream that could never be realized.
Gu Yuniang watched in horror as Ugly Girl's gaze grew dimmer. She held her breath, afraid to make a sound. Until... Ugly Girl's completely darkened hand slowly fell down, and she fiercely pinched her own arm, hard...
At that moment, she finally forgot to cry.
The residence of the Three Lords.
A tall man stood by the window, quietly admiring the beauty of the garden.
But for some reason, a sudden sharp pain gripped his heart. Unconsciously, he recalled the face of that person. A wave of bittersweet sorrow washed over his chest. Where could she be now?
He waved to his subordinate and coldly asked, "Have you found her?"
"No!"
"Leave." The man's tone was slightly disappointed. In this world, if one day it truly belonged to him, perhaps she would no longer be by his side.
The ugly girl had died because there was no order from the Emperor. Not even anyone came to bury her; they were both targets of scorn. Who would dare risk their life to approach them?
Gu Yunniang stayed by her corpse every day, repeatedly wiping down her body, which was already riddled with wounds.
When she first removed the girl's clothes, Gu Yunniang stood frozen for several minutes.
The ugly girl’s body was covered in holes of various sizes.
Dark red blood had already congealed into scabs; with just a light touch, blood would flow freely.
It was truly a sight too horrific to bear!
What kind of heartless person could treat a weak woman like this? Every time Gu Yuniang saw her own body, she repeatedly reminded herself of the kind of man she loved.
She finally understood that love could make a person so blind. Even knowing he was not good, she still greedily wanted to stay by his side a little longer.
But the cost of that moment was the continuous hurt inflicted on those around her.
She absolutely could not make another mistake.
Gu Yuniang took a deep breath and turned around, her gaze burning as she looked at the already bewildered Yi Er. " Yi Er, can I trust you?"
Yi Er looked at her, his master's eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
Without any hesitation, he nodded heavily.
When you are in power, everyone wants to be close to you.
But when you fall from grace, everyone wishes for your downfall!
Gu Yuniang deeply understood this truth.
Because she was rumored to be a Freak, the servants of the Imperial Heart Palace had already abandoned her.
And today, even the last servant, Yi Er, had left.
The most ridiculous thing is that everyone actually feels sympathy for the servants of the Imperial Heart Palace, thinking they are too pitiful for spending all day with the demons.
How laughable...
Yi Er was assigned to the imperial kitchen by the supervising eunuch. After finishing all her tasks, it was already evening.
Seeing that there was no one else around, she made her way to the Huainan Wangfu located within the palace.
Here, the guards were still strict.
She stood in a nearby grove, pondering how to sneak in.
At that moment, a pair of hands landed on her shoulders.
Startled, she turned around and exclaimed in joy upon seeing the person's face, "Jing'an Marquis!"
"Yun... Consort Yun, how is she?" Yun Shuyan knew that this was a servant from Yun'er's palace and immediately inquired about Yun'er's condition. "The lady is not well!" Yi Er glanced around and pulled Yun Shuyan to a secluded spot, lowering her voice as she said, "The lady sent me to deliver something to the Prince of Huainan!"
Yun Shuyan felt a pang in his heart and then asked in confusion, "Deliver something?"
Yi Er nodded; the lady had also mentioned that Jing'an Marquis was someone trustworthy.
Yun Shuyan looked around and said in a low voice, "Alright, I will find a way to get you inside!"
Moments later, he stood at the entrance of the royal residence, accompanied by Yi Er, who was already dressed like a eunuch.
"The Emperor has decreed that no unauthorized personnel may enter!" The guard at the entrance shouted sternly to stop them.
"I have the Empress Dowager's token! I'm just here to deliver some snacks for those inside!" Yun Shuyan said, hands clasped behind his back, a smile as warm as spring sunshine on his face.
The guard cast a suspicious glance at the food box in Yi Er's hand. "Let me check it!"
A glint of menace flashed in Yun Shuyan's eyes but quickly vanished. He discreetly slipped a stack of banknotes into the hands of several guards and whispered, "Just make it easy for us; we'll be out in a few minutes!"
The guards exchanged glances but remained silent.
Indeed, money could move mountains in this world, Yi Er thought to himself.
"You go ahead; I'll wait for you at the door!" After entering the courtyard, Yun Shuyan spoke first.
Yi Er looked gratefully at this understanding man before stepping inside.
Upon seeing the elderly man inside, Yi Er hurriedly handed over the items to him.
After listening to Yi Er's account, Gu Changwei was stunned. "Is Yun'er really planning to do this?"
"Yes, the lady said that this is all she can do for you!" Yi Er relayed Gu Yuniang's words faithfully.
Standing to the side, Ma Jinlian shivered and suddenly spoke, "No, Yun'er intends to give us a chance to escape! Girl, if Yun'er has told you everything, then I will trust you!"
She abruptly grabbed Yi Er and walked toward the inner chamber.
Gu Changwei watched her actions, his eyes already moist with emotion; he felt an immense sense of comfort!
Because he understood that this time, this woman had finally chosen the same path as him.
Yi Er was just a simple child, and when she learned of the palace's secrets from Ma Jinlian, she was utterly shocked. In the end, Ma Jinlian looked at her meaningfully and placed a small pouch in her hand, saying earnestly, "Yun'er's world is now in your hands!"
Yun Shuyan, dressed in white, stood with his hands clasped at the entrance of the courtyard. In fact, he should have known that Yun'er also had her secrets.
A wave of heat slowly rose from his lower abdomen, and a slight discomfort left him momentarily dazed.
Inside the room, Yi Er carefully secured the package and nodded seriously, "You two can rest assured; I will deliver the items safely to the Empress!"
The elderly man who had once commanded respect throughout his life revealed a look of relief as their hands tightly clasped together.
In this lifetime, they could finally be together forever.
Yi Er felt somewhat moved; this family was all thinking of each other. The Empress wished to sacrifice herself for them, and they were also willing to repay her in the same way.
