"His Majesty has arrived!"

Suddenly a sharp, piercing sound came from downstairs. Su Tiyue quickly ran to the east window and peeked out. She saw the Emperor leading a large entourage towards the corner tower.

He was accompanied by four palace maids and two eunuchs, with six guards behind him.

It seems she has no other choice.

Su Tiyue quietly shrank back, tiptoed towards the west window, and climbed up, lifting the hem of her skirt.

She craned her neck to take another look at the situation below.

Since death is inevitable either way, I might as well choose the path I want to take.

She took three deep breaths...

one two three……

After counting to three, without the slightest hesitation, Su Tiyue resolutely jumped off the building into the snowdrift...

The moment my body hit the ground, there was a "creak" sound, followed by a sharp pain in my knees and the soles of my feet.

pain.

It hurts so much.

At that moment, she didn't even know if her leg was broken or severed...

All the pain Su Tiyue has endured since birth cannot compare to even one ten-thousandth of what she is feeling right now.

My left leg was okay, but the excruciating pain in my right ankle spread throughout my body.

It looks like a bone is cracked.

The pain felt like her bones were being forcibly broken open and her marrow was being ripped out with a knife; the pain almost made Su Tiyue faint.

Even so, she couldn't make a sound.

Su Tiyue covered her mouth tightly with her hand, then, enduring the excruciating pain, dragged her legs and struggled to the corner of the wall to hide herself.

Fortunately, she was wearing all white today, and she was huddled in the corner, so she wasn't too conspicuous.

...

At the other end of the corner tower, the emperor rubbed his hands together, a lewd grin on his face, and went upstairs with a smug look on his face.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Minister Xiao said he had prepared a surprise for me."

"I haven't received a surprise in a long time..."

"Let me guess, could it be the little beauty I saw at Jingxin Pavilion that day?"

"I didn't expect Minister Xiao to have trained me so quickly?"

"..."

He walked along, talking to himself as he went, while the eunuchs and maids around him all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

The guards did not follow them upstairs, but instead stood guard at the entrance downstairs.

The eunuch opened the door to the greenhouse with the key, and the emperor eagerly pushed it open, shouting, "My beauty... I've arrived..."

"beauty?"

The emperor tilted his head and looked around inside, but found no one in sight. He even searched every corner of the greenhouse, but still found nothing.

Inside were only brightly blooming, nameless flowers, each more beautiful than the last, as if silently mocking him.

He turned around, his eyes red, and loudly questioned the eunuchs and maids around him, pulling them one by one and asking, "Where is the beauty? Where is the beauty...?"

The servants were all so frightened that they lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

He began to roar, violently whipping the people kneeling on the ground, then kicked over the first row of shelves, and immediately all the shelves collapsed one after another...

The warm and beautiful greenhouse was filled with the sound of flowerpots falling and shattering.

There were also sounds of the emperor cursing and swearing, expressing his disappointment and madness.

...

When Liu Wan led Xiao Anzi to the corner tower quietly, it was already dark.

When they saw the guards standing at the entrance, they knew they were too late...

Xiao Anzi frowned, as if he had thought of something, and immediately ran to the small flower bed behind the corner tower. Sure enough... they found her next to the snowdrift.

At this moment, Su Tiyue was leaning against the wall, her legs stiff from the cold in the snow. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands, not letting herself make a sound.

Xiao Anzi ran to Su Tiyue like a madman, reaching out to touch her legs, but then withdrew his hand halfway. He could only whisper, with heartache, "Your Majesty."

When Su Tiyue saw them arrive, she still covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound. But suddenly, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, dripping onto the back of her hand and her palm...

"Your Majesty." Liu Wan also ran over, knelt down at a loss, then reached out and pulled Su Tiyue into her arms, hugging her gently, and cried as well.

She raised her hand and gently patted Su Tiyue's shoulder, trying to relax her and make her less afraid.

However, the chaotic noises from upstairs still reached the ears of the three of them.

The emperor traveled all the way from the Hall of Longevity to this place, only to find it empty. He thought that Xiao Heye had deliberately tricked him, that he had been deceived and tricked by someone he trusted, and that person's power had now grown so great that even he could not control him.

He knew he could no longer touch Xiao Heye; his power and influence had long been usurped…

He couldn't touch Xiao Heye, yet he couldn't live without Xiao Heye; this was what made the emperor most helpless and furious.

Thinking this, the emperor was both angry and desperate.

He went berserk and smashed all the remaining flowers in the greenhouse.

Not feeling relieved after venting his anger, he went berserk and favored one of the palace maids he had brought with him.

...

At that time, near the empty corner tower, only the emperor's mad roars and the palace maids' cries and pleas for mercy could be heard.

Su Tiyue and the others dared not move or leave easily. The guards remained on the first floor of the corner tower. All they could do now was wait... wait for the emperor to leave.

But the palace maid's cries were too piercing, too desperate...

The emperor's voice, sometimes angry, sometimes joyful, was nauseating.
