Hibiscus Palace on the other side.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Wanwan's red pupils would be discovered, Concubine Yi had been feeling uneasy ever since her daughter was taken away. Looking at the delicacies on the table in front of her, she had no appetite at all.
Lotus, who was standing by, looked at her queen with a sad face, and she naturally knew what the queen was worried about.
Lotus thought for a moment, then walked over to the woman and said, "My Lady, you should eat something first."
Concubine Yi shook her head. Since Wanwan hadn't come back, how could she have any appetite to eat now?
"I know you are worried about Her Highness. After all, the little princess is Your Majesty's biological child. Her Highness will definitely return safely."
"I'm not afraid that His Majesty will do something to Wanwan, but..." Concubine Yi paused, and sighed softly, as if she had thought of something: "Wanwan is different from His Majesty's other children."
Lotus is Concubine Yi's maid who came with her as a dowry. Since Concubine Yi was banished to the cold palace three years ago, Lotus has been serving her and the little princess personally.
She also knew that the little princess was indeed different from His Majesty's other children.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could write beautiful calligraphy at the age of three, and was proficient in both literature and martial arts at the age of ten; His Royal Highness the Second Prince could recite poems and write lyrics at the age of five, and at the age of seven, his poems were worth a thousand taels;
His Royal Highness the Third Prince was already a good calculator when he was three years old; His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince had read a hundred medical books when he was five years old. He was able to find out the cause of a disease that all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital could not diagnose just by feeling the pulse.
Although the remaining four princes and princesses did not have any outstanding qualities, they were also extremely intelligent.
Compared with her brothers and sisters, Princess Jiu is a little...stupid.
Concubine Yi: "Alas, Wanwan is stupid. Plus, His Majesty already has a grudge against me because of Concubine Rou's miscarriage. I'm afraid..."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou's miscarriage had nothing to do with you." Speaking of Concubine Rou's miscarriage, Hehua was truly filled with anger.
At that time, their queen was just passing by Concubine Rou, but Concubine Rou suddenly fell to the ground with a scream, and then began to cry, saying that it was their queen who pushed her, causing the baby in her belly to die.
It’s obvious that their queen didn’t even touch her!
Concubine Yi said, "But Your Majesty doesn't believe me."
Because His Majesty did not trust her, she stayed in the cold palace for three years.
"Your Majesty." Lotus felt so distressed when she saw the woman's sad face.
The Queen is clearly a very good person, but His Majesty is short-sighted and would rather believe the two-faced Concubine Rou than the Queen, causing the Queen to stay in the cold palace for three years.
"Mother!"
The two were feeling sad when they suddenly heard a familiar cute baby's voice outside. When they looked up, they saw the little kid jumping in.
Seeing the familiar little baby, Concubine Yi's eyes lit up and she quickly opened her arms, and the little baby jumped directly into her arms.
"My dear, I hope you come back safely."
As soon as Wanwan came in, she noticed something was wrong. Her mother's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Which bastard made her mother cry? She'll break his legs!
"Mom, why are you crying?" Wanwan raised her little hand and gently touched the woman's face.
Concubine Yi shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a smile, "Mother is not crying, mother is just a little worried about Wanwan."
Wanwan: “…”
Oh NO, the bastard who made her mother cry was actually herself!

Doctor Zhang confessed!
Less than a cup of tea had passed since the guard Tan Wei brought him before the tyrant, and Doctor Zhang had already cried and confessed everything that Concubine Rou had done three years ago.
After learning the truth, the tyrant sat quietly in the chair for a long time, so long that it was completely dark outside before he finally stood up.
Eunuch Fu originally thought that His Majesty was going to settle accounts with Concubine Rou, but he never expected the man to say, "Go to Furong Palace."
Furong Palace was the residence of Concubine Yi.
Ever since he learned three years ago that Concubine Yi had killed Concubine Rou's unborn child out of jealousy, he had been completely disappointed in her and sent people to banish her to the cold palace.
He still remembered that she had argued that she didn't, but he was so angry at the time that he didn't listen to her explanation.
He should have thought of it earlier. Concubine Yi was a truly kind-hearted person, because only someone like her would be willing to respect him and call him "Your Highness" when he was still an unpopular prince with no status.
It was late at night, and a bright moon hung above the dark curtain. The palace maid standing guard at the door of Furong Palace yawned. When she was drowsy, she saw the man suddenly appear in front of her and was startled.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
The tyrant made a gesture to keep quiet. The maid was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth and watched the man walk in.
The palace maid suspected that she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. When she saw Eunuch Fu following behind His Majesty, she realized that this was not her hallucination and His Majesty had really come to Furong Palace.
The great tyrant had not set foot in Furong Palace for three years, but the palace still looked familiar to him.
The only difference is probably that there are fewer flowers in the yard. Concubine Yi has always loved flowers, and she had planted all kinds of flowers in the yard of Furong Palace.
In the past three years, because she was banished to the cold palace by him, no one took care of Furong Palace, and the flowers in the courtyard had long since withered.
Eunuch Fu, who was following the man, saw that His Majesty suddenly stopped and stared at the weed-covered grass beside him. He couldn't help but wonder what was so interesting about this piece of wasteland covered with weeds.
Eunuch Fu looked for a long time but couldn't understand it. When he was about to get closer to take a closer look, he saw that the emperor who was originally beside him suddenly disappeared. When he looked again, he found that the emperor had already walked a long way away. He was so scared that he hurried to follow him.
At this time, the Furong Palace was still brightly lit. As soon as the tyrant walked outside the palace, he heard the laughter and joyful chatter coming from inside.
"Mom, you're so pretty. You'll look even prettier with this flowery bun~"
Inside the hall, Concubine Yi sat upright on a chair, letting the little girl beside her insert a hairpin into her bun.
"Isn't it too fancy?" Concubine Yi touched her bun and wanted to take a mirror to look at herself, but was stopped by the little girl beside her.
Wanwan: "Nothing fancy. Mom is so beautiful, she should dress up beautifully."
Lotus also echoed from the side: "The Queen is beautiful, Princess Wanwan really has good taste."
Wanwan: [Although I have good taste, my mother is a truly stunning beauty.]
[Wow, the more I look at her, the more I think my mother is so beautiful]
[My mother is so beautiful, but the tyrant actually likes that little white lotus. His eyes are really crazy.]
"Don't worry, mother. From today on, Wanwan will save money. Once we escape the palace, Wanwan will find a young, strong, and handsome man to be your husband. As for that scumbag father, the tyrant, let him and his beloved Xiao Bailian stay where they like."
The tyrant standing at the door:???
