But Yu Jingchen acted as if he hadn't heard, and kept walking out. Nan Zhiyun's arm was being squeezed painfully. She was actually struggling, but her struggles meant nothing to Yu Jingchen.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was terrified of Yu Jingchen's current appearance.
Yu Jingchen pulled the person out of Cining Palace, and then said to Xing, "Send Consort Shu back to He'an Palace!"
"Yes," the palace maid replied. Nan Zhiyun wanted to say something more, but Yu Jingchen knew her weakness very well and immediately said, "If you don't want your father to have any problems on his way back, you'd better obey me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do."
Upon hearing Yu Jingchen say such words, Nan Zhiyun felt a chill run through her from head to toe, and dared not struggle or utter another word.
"Send Consort Shu back to the palace!" Yu Jingchen was finally satisfied when he saw the fear in Nan Zhiyun's eyes, but... why was he so annoyed?
The palace servants brought Nan Zhiyun back to He'an Palace. By the time the Empress Dowager came out, Nan Zhiyun had already been led a distance by the palace servants.
"Yu Jingchen, what exactly do you want? You hate her! You despise her being near you! Isn't it exactly what you want that I've kept her by my side? Why are you still not satisfied!" the Empress Dowager questioned loudly.
"What I want to do is none of your business to explain to the Empress Dowager." Yu Jingchen was in a very bad mood.
The Empress Dowager felt tired. Looking at the current situation, she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please spare Yun'er. She has done nothing wrong. She is innocent. She was sincere to you. Now that she is afraid, please have mercy and stop torturing her. Can't you see what she looks like now? Do you still remember what Yun'er looked like before she entered the palace?" The Empress Dowager asked him.
"This is the path she chose herself," Yu Jingchen said, his tone still icy.
"People always have to take some detours and make some mistakes. She is one now. What about Your Majesty? I hope you won't also make mistakes in the future..." The Empress Dowager said meaningfully.
"I cannot be wrong," Yu Jingchen said decisively.
"If Your Majesty continues to be so confident, I have nothing more to say." She then looked in the direction Nan Zhiyun had left: "Now that you've brought her back, stop torturing her. She's still a young girl, innocent." The Empress Dowager repeated this sentence.
Yu Jingchen didn't answer her. The Empress Dowager continued to shake her head: "Your Majesty, sometimes you can't completely cut off your own escape route, because there's nowhere left to retreat. Nor should you completely cut off other people's escape routes, because I've taught you to fight to the death." The Empress Dowager said earnestly.
"I have my own decision to make; Your Majesty need not worry." Yu Jingchen still uttered such an ambiguous statement.
The Empress Dowager said no more and entered Cining Palace. Yu Jingchen watched the Empress Dowager's back. The Empress Dowager... now it seems that she really is all alone.
As for Nan Zhiyun, Yu Jingchen watched the direction she left in. She was already far away. This morning, he received a letter from Nan Su, in which he said that he was willing to hand over the Tiger Tally and the military power in his hands, and asked him to allow him to retire and return to his hometown, let Nan Zhiyun leave the palace, and let the Empress Dowager and the two of them leave the capital together, and never interfere in the affairs of the royal family again.
To be honest, he was shocked when he received the letter, but... he felt a void in his heart, for reasons he couldn't explain. Later, for some reason, he decided to come to Cining Palace. When he saw Nan Zhiyun, those scenes with Nan Zhiyun suddenly popped into his mind, and for a moment, he felt like he was possessed.
When he heard the Empress Dowager tell Nan Zhiyun to leave, he suddenly felt dissatisfied. Originally, he had not intended for Nan Zhiyun to return, but seeing that Nan Zhiyun really intended to leave, he felt somewhat annoyed, so he insisted on forcing Nan Zhiyun to leave Cining Palace and return to He'an Palace.
Yu Jingchen stopped thinking about it and decided to leave it at that. He could only think about these things, but he couldn't let these messy things affect him. Yu Jingchen then left Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager, after entering Cixi Palace, was helped to sit down by An Xin.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. The general will be back soon. His Majesty won't do anything to Consort Shu." An Xin thought the Empress Dowager was worried about Nan Zhiyun.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager simply shook her head: "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about what will happen later, and I'm afraid that other unforeseen events may occur..." the Empress Dowager said.
"His Majesty can't see clearly, and Yun'er will suffer too." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and An Xin was confused by what the Empress Dowager was saying.
After leaving Cining Palace, Yu Jingchen went directly to He'an Hall. When he arrived, Nan Zhiyun was already there and was standing nervously inside the room.
(There's still some time after the female rebirth; after the female rebirth, there's a double rebirth.)
Let me repeat myself. In the story of a female protagonist who is reborn, when she is reborn into her first life, she is filled with fear, resentment, and regret. Therefore, her hatred is not as intense. You can go back and watch how she behaved when she died in her first life. So please understand the setting here.
Don't wonder why the female lead is so frustrated; it's because that's how it's written in the main story, so we can't deviate too much from her character. Also, you need to understand that their strengths are unequal, so there's no other way.
However, the dual rebirth storyline will be different. The female lead will have memories of her second life, and she will want revenge, which will likely stem from hatred. The dual rebirth storyline mainly focuses on tormenting the male lead, but I won't spoil the details.
As for the current female rebirth story, I can totally understand everyone's feelings about the male and female leads right now, but we'll take it one step at a time. The male lead will also suffer in the later parts of the female rebirth story.
Also, since this is a side story, it will definitely not be as detailed as the main story. All the progress will be faster, and some parts may be a bit abrupt because we don't have the extra time and space to slowly depict and elaborate on them. Please understand.
Also, please feel free to leave any other comments; I'll read them all. And please be friendly in the comments section!
