I looked at Han Wen and chuckled softly.
"Your Majesty, how could I be so bold?"
"Your Majesty has been busy, working day and night without rest."
"I asked you not to come to Chunlu Palace for your own good."
"Shouldn't I consider myself as well?"
Han Wen paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Jiang Huan, when did you learn such sweet words?"
I raised my eyes to Han Wen and chuckled again.
"Your Majesty, I never said I wouldn't use sweet words."
"Your Majesty just doesn't know."
Han Wen furrowed her brows and shouted sternly, "Jiang Huan!"
Han Wen was quite angry.
She ignored me for several days.
She no longer came to my Chunlu Palace.
But I didn't mind.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
During this year, Han Wen was very cold towards me.
She doted on Jiang Zhizhu immensely.
She gave almost all the good things to Jiang Zhizhu.
And I was merely a pitiful person with the title of Consort Chan.
But I no longer cared.
My love for Han Wen had long been worn away in this deep palace courtyard.
Later on, I forgot many things.
I don't remember why I agreed to help Jiang Zhizhu with Detoxification.
I also don't remember why I suddenly changed my mind and was willing to assist Jiang Zhizhu with Detoxification.
I don't know why I suddenly stopped loving Han Wen. I only remember that on that sunny afternoon, I stopped my mother.
My mother is Jiang Zhizhu's biological mother and the current Prime Minister. She looked at me coldly and said, "Jiang Huan, why are you stopping me?"
I raised my gaze to meet her eyes and smiled slightly. "Mother, I want to leave the palace."
Upon hearing this, my mother was taken aback. "Jiang Huan, do you know what you're saying?"
I looked up at her again and smiled. "Of course."
"Mother, I want to leave the palace."
My mother frowned tightly and said unhappily, "Jiang Huan, don't be ridiculous."
I looked at her and smiled again. "Mother, I'm not being ridiculous."
"I'm serious."
My mother let out a cold laugh and disdainfully said, "Serious? Jiang Huan, do you know what burden you carry?"
"You say you want to leave just like that; where does that leave the the Jiang Family?"
"What about your brother?"
"Mother, I am very clear."
"The burden on me has long been lifted."
"Jiang Zhizhu is already well; my task has been completed."
"Mother, I have no reason to stay in the palace anymore."
My mother frowned again and said unhappily, "Who says your task is complete?"
"Jiang Huan, your task is to be a good Consort Chan."
"Since you have already become Consort Chan, your task can never be completed."
"Jiang Huan, you were born a royal and will die as a royal ghost."
"Do you want to leave the palace?"
"Dream on!"
"Mother, I knew you would say that."
"But Mother, since I am asking for your help, I will no longer be Consort Chan."
Mother frowned tightly and asked sternly, "Jiang Huan, what do you mean?"
"Mother, you know very well."
"Jiang Zhizhu's health has improved; I no longer need to be Consort Chan."
"Mother, I have become useless."
"You should let me go."
Upon hearing this, Mother let out a cold laugh.
"Jiang Huan, what are you saying?"
"You are a member of the the Jiang Family; it is your blessing to work for the the Jiang Family."
"If it weren't for your brother taking a blade for you back then, do you think you would have lived to this day?"
"Jiang Huan, our the Jiang Family raised you; you are ungrateful and want to escape?"
"Jiang Huan, you are simply a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"Mother, I have already forgotten that incident."
"As for whether I am a wolf in sheep's clothing, Mother, you should know better than I do."
Mother was taken aback for a moment and then smiled.
"Jiang Huan, you are indeed clever."
"You are much smarter than your brother."
"If only you were a girl."
"Mother, unfortunately, I am a boy."
"And a discarded one at that."
