Yu Jingchen suppressed his shock and looked at the Empress Dowager, asking, "How did the Empress Dowager find out?" Yu Jingchen was also very direct, not hiding his so-called rebirth.
"No one knows you better than I do, Your Majesty. One day you will regret everything you have done, and I will never let you down!" The Empress Dowager could not hide the hatred in her eyes.
Yu Jingchen opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"I know Your Majesty is capable, but Your Majesty can also give it a try. Compared to me, you are, after all, a junior." The Empress Dowager smiled.
Yu Jingchen gazed at the Empress Dowager, unable to utter a word for a long time. Even at the very end, he only said, "Follow the Empress Dowager's lead, I'll be leaving now." After saying this, Yu Jingchen left He'an Palace, though perhaps even he himself didn't realize the urgency and disorder in his steps.
The Empress Dowager watched Yu Jingchen's departing figure thoughtfully, then her gaze returned to Nan Zhiyun. She then reached out and gently stroked her face.
"Yun'er, don't worry. As long as I'm here in this life, I will protect you. Just wait a little longer, and I will present you with the best of everything. I will clear away all obstacles for you," the Empress Dowager said slowly.
Then, as if remembering something else, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Yun'er, I've always treated you like my own daughter. When you were little, you didn't understand and called me 'Mother,' so I truly considered myself your mother..."
"I also want to stay with you for the rest of my life, but I am getting old... My time is running out, so if I break my promise later, you must forgive me, okay?" The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more distressed she became.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..." An Xin came over.
"Change this incense and clean it up," the Empress Dowager hastily wiped away her tears and gave the order.
“Yes,” An Xin walked over, extinguished the burning incense, took it out, and replaced it with a new one.
"Yun'er, don't blame me, I just want you to be well..." the Empress Dowager said to Nan Zhiyun.
This night is destined to be sleepless...
Zichen Palace
"What did you find out?" Yu Jingchen rubbed his temples.
"Your Majesty, these were found in the Wen family's palace." Xing Lai produced a letter and a dagger. Yu Jingchen had expected this; these had been found in his previous life.
The letter contained only one sentence: "My mind is made up, and I will not regret it!"
"Besides that?" Those things don't prove anything.
“There’s nothing else suspicious, except… during the investigation of Wen’s past, we discovered that she didn’t enter the palace voluntarily,” Xinglai replied.
Yu Jingchen looked at him.
Fortunately, she understood what Yu Jingchen meant, so she continued, "No one knows why she didn't want to enter the palace. It seems that before that, the Consort was quite close to a servant, and after that servant died, Wen agreed to enter the palace..."
After saying this, Xinglai lowered his head, as the meaning behind it was self-evident.
"Has that person's identity been verified?" Yu Jingchen wasn't as angry as he had expected.
“He was an orphan who was bought by the Wen family at the slave market,” Xinglai replied.
"How did you die?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"It's probably because of Wen's entry into the palace that she was punished." Fortunately, if Wen really had some relationship with that servant, keeping her around would only cause trouble.
