“Seeing you in such good spirits puts my mind at ease. May you have happiness in the future,” Mei Siyu sincerely blessed her.
Since she couldn’t bear the pain of being divided from someone, it was better to leave gracefully. At least Wan’er could still find happiness, right? This wasn’t about being selfless, but the only way out. Let this love be deeply buried in her heart. Perhaps one day, Chen might understand her feelings! She had loved him from beginning to end!
“Sister, why do you speak like this, as if something is wrong?” Wan’er asked, puzzled.
“Nothing’s wrong, I’m just happy. This pouch is beautiful, look at the subtle ripples, the lifelike mandarin ducks, the colors are so tasteful!” Mei Siyu held the pouch from the table, praising it.
“It’s not as good as you say. If you don’t mind, would you like me to give it to you?” Wan’er smiled.
“Okay, thank you, Wan’er. It’ll be like seeing a person through an object,” Mei Siyu said with a hint of bitterness, but still wearing a faint smile, not wanting the sensitive Wan’er to detect anything. If she was going to leave, she’d leave gracefully.
Tell her that I will come later,” Ming Lengchen said hoarsely. He was extremely tired, and his eyelids were already heavy, and he should have a good sleep, but because Yuer was coming to see him, he still endured the pain and agreed, thinking that a short nap might help him recover, and he could then go to the appointment without any problem. He just needed to sleep for a while.
”Your Majesty looks very pale. Why don’t you go back to Mei Fei and rest for a while…”
”Do not refuse. I’m fine. Go and ask the imperial physician to prepare some medicine to dispel the cold.” He then fell into a deep sleep.
”This servant obeys,” Liu Gongong respectfully retreated.
In the rear garden!
”This old servant pays respects to Noble Consort, good day.” Liu Gongong quickly bowed to the approaching Noble Consort, treating her with utmost deference as she was now a powerful patron.
”Liu Gongong, where are you going in such a hurry?” Xia Waner asked softly, wondering about the servant who was always by the Emperor’s side.
