The person who saved her was also the one who destroyed everything for her, so she told Feng Xuan that Feng Yuan had ulterior motives; she was sent into the palace as an insider by him.
Together with Feng Xuan, she worked hard to cooperate with his actions, putting on a performance that trapped the enemy in a jar.
"The Heavenly Prison is dark and damp, infested with pests. Please take care, Your Highness," she said sarcastically before turning away, her steps resolute.
What she didn't know was that the usually calm and composed Prince Huai'an felt a deep ocean of sorrow as he watched her retreating figure.
Something within him shattered bit by bit; he bent down and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the ground beneath him.
As dawn broke, Yun Kezhai changed out of her splendid palace attire and donned a simple light yellow long robe.
She caressed the nearby Redwood Chest with a gentle expression, as if stroking her lover, her fingers gliding softly over its surface.
She ordered a Court Attendant to summon a carpenter to seal the chest and instructed them to ensure it was delivered to Feng Yuan at the hour of Chen. After that, she dismissed everyone and went alone to the inner hall to rest, her silhouette appearing somewhat lonely.
At the hour of Chen, the eunuchs of Color Cloud Palace carried the Redwood Chest into the Heavenly Prison and conveyed Consort Yun's imperial edict: return the old belongings, let each go their separate ways, and sever all lingering thoughts.
The chest was much larger than usual, exquisitely crafted, and sealed tightly with nails, concealing its contents from view.
Feng Yuan merely glanced at it; his cold eyes were filled with an eerie stillness, reflecting despair.
In the evening, when Feng Xuan arrived at Color Cloud Palace, all the servants lowered their heads, their hearts in turmoil.
Their Consort Yun had been missing for an entire day, and Feng Xuan slammed his fist on the table in frustration. "I refuse to believe she can just vanish into thin air! You all go search for her, mobilize the Imperial Guards, and dig up the entire palace if you have to! Find her!"
For ten consecutive days, the imperial city was searched three times, yet there was still no sign of her.
Feng Xuan sat despondently in Color Cloud Palace, replaying her every word and action in his mind.
A box! Suddenly, a spark of inspiration struck him, and he got up and rushed outside.
Arriving at Heavenly Prison, he glanced at the Redwood Chest beside Feng Yuan, and his expression changed slightly.
Forcing himself to remain calm, he ordered someone to pry open the chest. When he saw what was inside, his face turned as pale as paper. He sank down to the ground, heartbroken as he said, "So you really are here. I knew you couldn't let go of him..."
Feng Yuan turned his head. Just one glance left him frozen in place as if struck by lightning. His pupils contracted repeatedly before he suddenly lunged forward, letting out a heart-wrenching cry: "Yun'er! Yun'er!" His voice echoed throughout Heavenly Prison.
Inside the redwood chest lay only a few lengths of cloud-patterned silk and a woman whose face was unrecognizable. Her grayish-white, sunken features and emaciated limbs emitted a foul odor, resembling a ghost that had escaped from hell.
But the red mole on her neck and her favorite light yellow robe were unmistakable marks that Feng Yuan would recognize after six years together.
"Yun'er!"
Feng Yuan bent down, holding his breath. With the gentlest of movements, he carefully lifted her into his arms and held her close to his chest, tears streaming down his face. "Yun'er, I didn't kill your family. I never did! It was that arrogant servant Liang Guang who did these foolish things!"
"When I learned the truth, I killed him, but I couldn't bring back your loved ones. They ultimately died because of me. I loved you so much that I feared losing you, which is why I couldn't tell you the truth; I loved you so much that I wanted you to be happy, so I cruelly sent you to the capital to become a consort. Just like you, I could never bear to see you sad..."
The person in her arms had already lost their breath, yet a single tear slid down the corner of their eye, as if they had heard his explanation and confession.
A pink letter slipped from her embrace, the elegant handwriting reading:
Feng Yuan, you have destroyed everything I had, and I have taken away all that you possessed. We owe each other nothing now.
From now on, there will be no one and nothing else in your world. You will grow old alone in Heavenly Prison, but fortunately, we can still have each other.
I promised I would return to your side, never leaving you, always by your side, never abandoning you for life.
Look, I have come to fulfill my vow…
