s really hard to assign them work. If they get hurt or exhausted, there's no place to regret it either.Now, guarding the watermelon patch is simply perfect for me.So, she readily agreed, "Alright, big...Why didn't he leave a little eunuch behind to listen for news from Kunning Palace and report back

Fortunately, Xilong Pavilion wasn't too far from Kunning Palace, a two-hour run was enough for a round trip.

Thus, when several more scrolls piled up on the Crown Prince's desk, Eunuch Feng returned, his forehead drenched in sweat.

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess has cried herself to sleep. The County Princess personally oversaw arrangements for the Kunning Palace attendants to burn paper offerings for the Empress Dowager's spirit."

"I heard that a young eunuch didn't know the rules and shouted a few times, and was slapped by the county princess. Now everyone is obeying orders and handling the funeral arrangements in an orderly manner."

The prince raised his teacup, took a sip, concealed the upturned corner of his mouth, and finally replied, "I understand. You may rest now."

Feng Gong let out a long sigh of relief and immediately called the little eunuchs forward to attend to their master, washing and dressing him.

After finishing his work, Fenggong retired, leaving a young eunuch to guard the night.

A gust of night wind sent a chill through him as it blew against his damp shirt.

It's like walking with a tiger by your side.

I always thought Mr. Yi was living the high life, but now I know that behind the glamour lies a world of danger.

Was it too late for him to regret coming here

He still wanted to be a deputy general manager, with the perks and without having to take the lead and risk his head...

As night deepened, it gradually thinned, eventually being driven away by the first blush of dawn in the east. The world was awash with new life once more.

The third princess awoke from her slumber, staring at the unfamiliar bed curtains for a long while before coming to her senses.

She slowly turned her head, and seeing the figure asleep on the table, tears streamed down her face.

The person she had once loved deeply deceived and treated her superficially, while privately being head over heels for her friend.

How could she not be heartbroken and angry about this It's certainly not something that can be resolved with just a few words.

But she couldn't bear it, couldn't bear to part with her only friend.

So, she chose to forgive.

At this moment, she was incredibly grateful for her choice to go straight into the position.

When she was at her most desperate and heartbroken, there was still someone who raced through the night for her.

Tears flowed silently, blurring the figures before my eyes...

The Third Princess cried for a long time, and her heart gradually became clearer.

She slowly got up, wiped away her tears, and walked barefoot to the door.

In the courtyard, the eunuchs and palace maids who had guarded all night leaned against the pillars, sleeping in disarray.

Inside the main hall, the ice outside the coffin melted, with droplets falling and forming small bubbles that slowly overflowed. They flowed across the threshold, sliding down the steps, like long streaks of tears.

The copper basin in front of the coffin had gone out, leaving only half a basin of ash scattering with the morning wind, cold and lonely...

When the empress of a country passed away, there were no ceremonies, no mourning ladies weeping, no officials paying respects, and no chanting for her soul.

She is just a useless daughter, a daughter who only knows how to cry, a daughter who relies on others for survival, a powerless daughter!

If she had power, her father would not disregard her words. Her mother wouldn't be left to rot in such misery, and the man she loved wouldn't casually deceive her...

Jia Yin rested for a while, rubbing her aching neck. When she woke up, she was startled by the figure in front of the door.

She quickly limped over, asking, "Princess, when did you wake up Are you hungry I'll have Shuiyun bring you some..."

However, the third princess turned her head and smiled at her, then gently took her hand.

"Jia Yin, don't worry, I'm fine! In fact... I'm great, fantastic even!"

Jia Yin felt a shiver run down her spine when she was met with his laughter. She instinctively hugged him, "What's wrong Are you feeling unwell somewhere"

"No." The third princess replied, hugging her and burying her head in her shoulder. Her voice was soft and low.

"Jia Yin, if I were to say that I wanted to marry Lu Zong, what would you think"

Jia Yin was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand what the third princess was thinking, she still replied, "If we only consider family background, he is indeed a good choice for marriage."

The Lu family is all out of Kyoto, so no one will disturb your married life. Moreover, Young Master Lu is the only legitimate son, and your children will also be the main line of the Lu family. But...

"No need to say more, these are enough." The third princess let go of Jia Yin, standing beside her at the door, smiling hollowly.

"These are enough, they're all I want. I know what you're trying to say, but it doesn't matter."

How many couples in this world are together because they truly love each other They're all just using each other. If others can do it, why can't I

Jia Yin's heart sank upon hearing the words. She knew that the Third Princess seemed to have undergone a drastic transformation overnight, but this growth and change didn't bring about joy...

At this moment, Shui Yun carried over a tray.

There was freshly cooked millet porridge on a tray, a plate of vegetarian dumplings, and two dishes of appetizing side dishes.

She saw that her mistress was in a bad mood, so she said, "My lady, why don't you have breakfast with the princess"

Jia Yin was about to speak, but the Third Princess spoke first, “Put the things in the house, but if your master doesn't eat them, then take you back.”

Jia Yin immediately objected, "No way, I have nothing to do at home. I'll stay here with you for a few more days."

"No need," the Third Princess shook her head. "You're so clever, you wouldn't have guessed what Father's plan is, would you My mother's funeral probably won't start for another ten days or so. Perhaps Father has other arrangements and will delay it even longer."

"As a daughter, I'll just keep going. You don't have to suffer with me. Besides, when my mother was alive, she wasn't kind to you either. The fact that you forgave the past and kept watch over her for one peaceful night is already enough for me to be grateful."

As for the future... let me go by myself!

Jia Yin tightly held her hand, the uneasiness in her heart grew heavier and heavier...

The sun finally broke through the clouds and leaped over the horizon, and Kunning Palace fully awakened.

The eunuch guarding the gate hadn't even had time to rub the sleep from his eyes when he saw the Third Princess personally escorting Lady Kangle to the door. He panicked and was about to step forward to stop her.

"Princess, the emperor has decreed that you may enter but not leave..."

The Third Princess glared with icy fury, her voice sharp with disdain. “Audacity! When did a servant like you have the right to interfere in this princess’s affairs!”

"Slave dares not!" The eunuch immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Princess Three signaled Caiyun and the others to push open the door, then shoved Jia Yin harshly, signaling her to leave quickly.

Jia Yin could not speak, she took Shui Ling and Shui Yun out the door. The moment they stepped out, the door slammed shut behind them.

Jia Yin unconsciously took a step forward, instinctively wanting to pull the Third Princess away.

Kunning Palace is no longer Kunning Palace, it's the hell that the third princess buried herself in!

The third princess stood in the doorway, smiling and shaking her head at her until the crack closed completely, hiding her pale cheeks from view...

Shui Yun and Shui Ling didn't know why the third princess had driven their master out of the palace, but the third princess wouldn't harm her master. Staying inside, guarding a dead person, wasn't really a good thing either. They could leave, so naturally they wanted to!

The two of them practically dragged each other, rushing towards the palace gates. Taking advantage of the commotion at court where they were discussing the selection of a crown prince, they dashed out of the palace!

Two updates today~~oom to speak.The village head said with a smile, "Even when I'm old and have no teeth left, I won't be afraid of starving to death! This potato is simply delicious!""That's right, especially when it's...
