She spoke the words "wise ruler" very softly, so that only the two of them could hear them.

The prince's expression immediately changed.

However, before he could say anything, the Crown Princess took Yao Huang's hand, turned around, and left.

Wei Zi was left kneeling on the spot, so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

The prince's gaze didn't even linger on her for a moment.

When Eunuch Feng returned with the court robes, he was quite surprised to see her.

"Why is Miss Wei Zi kneeling here? The Crown Princess can't do without someone!"

The crown prince seemed to only just notice her, coldly uttering two words.

"Get out!"

Wei Zi felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She staggered to her feet, not daring to rub her knees and legs, and retreated with her head down.

Once outside the hall, Wei Zi finally raised her head, her eyes bloodshot, unaware that her fingernails had dug into her palms.

As the Crown Princess's head maid, she had never suffered such humiliation.

She could almost feel the gazes of the palace servants coming and going around her.

They must all be laughing at me...

Wei Zi trembled all over and used a lot of strength to suppress it. Then she turned around and ran back to her residence as if she were fleeing.

In the eastern bedroom, the Crown Princess drank the bird's nest porridge handed to her by Yao Huang, her face expressionless.

Yao Huang glanced out the window and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, Wei Zi... Since you know His Highness won't accept her, why push her out in the first place?"

Yao Huang and Wei Zi grew up together in the Zhao family and have served the Crown Princess for more than ten years.

The Crown Princess put down her bowl, her smile unusually cold.

"She has such thoughts, and as her master, wouldn't it be better for me to grant her wish? As for whether it will succeed, that depends on her own fate."
