I thought Yan Zheyun was really angry with me this time, and I thought he would cut off contact with me from now on. However, I underestimated his persistence and means.
The next morning, as the sunlight streamed through the windows of the palace, I was about to change into lighter clothes and go outside to breathe some fresh air, and relax my tense mood from the past few days.
At the moment I stepped out of the threshold, a team of imperial guards surged like a tide, surrounding the palace and leaving no way out.
The leader, dressed in armor, with a solemn expression, approached me, respectfully bowed, and then said in a deep voice, "Princess, I have heard that there have been Flower thief sightings near the palace. The emperor has decreed that you should stay within the palace and not venture outside."
I was stunned, and a surge of inexplicable anger rose in my heart.
Yan Zheyun, this cunning man, actually used such a ridiculous excuse to restrict my freedom.
Flower thief?
This is clearly his trick, his excuse, his restraint!
I sneered and cursed in my heart, "This bastard actually came up with such shameless nonsense. He's really ruthless."
I turned and went back to the palace, filled with unwillingness and anger. I knew that all of this was Yan Zheyun's doing. He wanted to control me in this way, making it impossible for me to escape his grasp.
Several months have passed in a hurry, and the day of Consort's delivery is getting closer. I feel increasingly uncomfortable in this palace, as if even breathing has become difficult.
Yan Zheyun seems to have sensed my inner dissatisfaction and struggle. He tries to appease me with some novel trinkets, unaware that these are just a part of his political game to me.
Whenever those little trinkets are presented to me, I feel a deep sense of irony.
In my eyes, they are nothing but a facade used by Yan Zheyun to cover up his crimes, and candies used to numb my will to resist.
I angrily threw those little toys aside, filled with resentment towards him. If it weren't for Yan Zheyun's conspiracy, how could I be trapped in this palace? The outside world is so exciting, everything is much more interesting than these hypocritical toys.
A few days before the consort gave birth, Yan Zheyun sent another letter, saying that the consort is about to give birth, and I will soon regain my freedom.
I sneered coldly; this was just another one of his deceptions.
I swear, once I regain my freedom, the first thing I will do is to whip Yan Zheyun until he is completely battered.
However, I never expected that on the night of Consort's delivery, a dramatic change occurred in the palace.
The first news that came was about Consort's difficult delivery, and the emperor urgently summoned Consort's father and General Li to accompany her in the palace.
Following that, although Consort gave birth to a prince, she unfortunately died from hemorrhage during childbirth.
Following that, General Li's mansion was surrounded by the imperial guards, and a sudden search revealed the secrets of The Lee family.
The Imperial Guards found a large number of seditious letters and evidence of corruption in the general's mansion, providing irrefutable evidence. General Li was arrested in the palace and soon after executed, leading to the downfall of the Lee family overnight.
All of this happened so suddenly, it shocked and amazed me.
For a moment, my mind was in chaos, my thoughts scattered like a tangled mess blown by the wind, difficult to sort out.
Father suddenly summoned me to the palace. I hurriedly changed my clothes and followed the imperial guards back to the palace.
I had thought that Father and Consort had a deep love after many years of marriage. When Consort died in childbirth, I thought he would be devastated. However, when I saw him, all I saw was the weariness on his face, without a trace of sadness.
When my father saw me arrive, he gently took my hand and held it tightly in his palm. His voice was low and hoarse: "Yuanyuan, you've worked hard all these years."
I looked at my father with some confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Father gently rubbed my head and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes: "In order to restrain The Lee family, as the father emperor, I had to keep a woman who harmed my daughter by my side. I'm sorry to you."
It suddenly dawned on me that the father emperor had his own difficulties all along. I used to blame him for being seduced by beauty, but I didn't know that he made such sacrifices for the country and for the imperial power.
The voice of the father continued to ring in my ears: "Yan Zheyun has been tired all night, now waiting for you in your palace, go, he will tell you everything."
I was surprised, Yan Zheyun, what does he really know? What will he tell me?
With a heart full of doubts and unease, I hurriedly made my way to the bedroom.
Pushing open the door to the bedroom, I saw Yan Zheyun sitting by the window, playing with a jade pendant in his hand. His eyes were deep, as if contemplating something.
When I entered, Yan Zheyun stood up, his eyes carrying a hint of complex emotions. "Princess, you're here," he said.
I looked at him warily, feeling guarded.
Yan Zheyun took a deep breath and said slowly, "Princess, I know you have many questions in your heart, and I will tell you everything. The downfall of The Lee family is the result of the long-term planning between the emperor and me. Although Consort's death was an accident, it was also part of the plan. In order to restrain The Lee family, the emperor had to endure Consort's existence, but we all know that The Lee family is the biggest threat."
As I listened to Yan Zheyun's words, my heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Originally, over the years, Father Emperor and Yan Zheyun have been secretly plotting. Their previous actions were also aimed at eliminating the Lee family, a major threat.
