At the beginning, Du Wan was at the end of her rope and had nowhere to go. He had no choice but to succumb to the prince's manipulation.
"I gave in to the prince at the beginning because I was afraid that you would mess up the task entrusted to you by the prince and make him unhappy, so...believe me, I really only did it for you."
"Is it for me or for money? Do you dare to say that the Jiangnan corruption case really has nothing to do with you? Do you dare to say that the poison in the food was really done by those ministers, and you were just following orders?"
Fu Hengyu is not a fool.
Some things already have their origins, but we just don’t want to care about them.
"I'm not stupid. I can see what you are doing... I also know the reasons for everything you are doing now, but I have never asked you."
Either submitting to the prince's authority or being willing to sacrifice everything to achieve one's goal like the prince.
"You and I are both selfish people, and we will do anything to achieve our goals."
He stood up and looked at the woman he once truly loved, but found that he could no longer go back to the past.
"I finally understand why Shen Yuerong said that we have all changed and the feelings between us are no longer the same as before. Now I finally understand."
The person in front of you is no longer the person in your heart.
Even with the old lady's plea, today is still a sleepless night.
His heart was completely restless. He sat alone in the room, thinking about the good old days.
They had been husband and wife, had seen mountains and rivers, and had supported each other just like she and Chi Mu do now.
But that has become the past.
And now it is her and Chi Mu's story.
With the antidote, Jiangnan quickly returned to peace, and this unexpected disaster finally ended.
The emperor finally felt relieved.
The prince's small movements became less frequent, and as the queen wished, he brought Fu Hengyue into the palace.
The queen was happy when she looked at her only daughter-in-law.
"You two have been married for half a year now, so you should have a child."
The prince looked at Fu Hengyue and said, "Mother, she and I are probably still young, so there is no need to be so anxious. Moreover, your son still has to help Your Majesty handle government affairs."
"Speaking of those government affairs, I am even more worried. You are now completely troubled by them. It is even more unbearable that you have no one close to you. Originally, I wanted to ask His Majesty and the Queen Mother to find a suitable marriage for you. I had already decided to marry you to the daughter of the Pei family, but now you already have a girl by your side, so I rejected this marriage."
"Mother is talking about... the daughter of Minister Pei?"
The queen nodded.
"That girl is good in every way, but she has a bit of a spoiled temper, which makes her seem a bit cute. I am very happy to see her like that. I have arranged a marriage for you, but you... I have rejected it."
"That's not necessary."
The prince had always wanted to make friends with Minister Pei, but Minister Pei was a man of integrity and was unwilling to make friends with anyone.
"But…"
The queen looked at Fu Hengyue who was sitting beside her with some pity.
They had only been married for half a year when the Queen arranged a proper marriage for the Prince, which inevitably destroyed the relationship between them.
"Yue'er has always been sensible. Besides, I am already old enough to be chosen as my principal wife. Mother can arrange it according to your own ideas."
The prince discussed the marriage without hesitation, and the queen was a little worried about Fu Hengyue.
"Then I understand."
Before the Queen and the Crown Prince had exchanged a few words, someone came to Crown Prince Jing and said that His Majesty wanted to discuss an important matter with him.
"You go ahead. I just want to talk to Yue'er."
The prince stood up, bowed to the queen and left.
The queen looked at Fu Hengyue, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken a word.
"You are only 28 years old now, so you are quite immature."
Fu Hengyue forced himself to stay awake and spoke back to the Queen.
"The prince should indeed have a wife chosen at his age, but you are a well-behaved child, and I don't think this matter will affect the relationship between you and the prince."
"Of course, I know my identity and what I should and shouldn't do."
The queen comforted her a few more words.
"Although Miss Pei is young and energetic, she is not the same as before after getting married. I think you two sisters will get along well after you enter the East Palace. I heard that you studied in the same private school before, so you should be the best sisters."
Thinking of the time he had spent in the private school, Fu Hengyue trembled all over and felt a little overwhelmed.
But facing the Queen's learned gaze, he pretended that everything was fine.
"The Queen is right. I will get along well with Miss Pei."
Without the crown prince, the queen felt that there was nothing to talk about with Fu Hengyue, so she asked her a few questions casually and then sent her away.
Miss Pei was invited by the Queen Mother to enter the palace today to keep Princess Yong'an company, and she is currently resting in the Imperial Garden.
Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Fu Hengyue who was leaving the Queen's Palace. We met.
Long time no see.
A Miss Pei who is still extremely noble.
And the other one has become someone else's concubine.
"Hey, who is this? I felt that you looked familiar from a distance, but I didn't dare to recognize you. I didn't expect it to be you."
Fu Hengyue originally wanted to avoid her attack, but she didn't expect that she would come directly over and block Fu Hengyue's way.
"Miss Pei."
Fu Hengyue lowered her head. During the time she was in the Prince's Mansion, she had become completely different from before. She even lost her former defiant look.
"I have good news for you."
She stood in front of Fu Hengyue, looking at her with a smile, "You know what? I want to be the Crown Princess. When I move into the East Palace, I can continue to be good sisters with you. You should be very happy, right?"
Her words were somewhat sad. No matter who it was, it would be impossible for them to be happy with the person who shared their husband with them, not to mention the hatred between them.
"I…"
Miss Pei looked at her with a mocking expression.
"I thought you would be different after marrying the prince, but now it seems that you are no different from before. You are even still the same, timid and cowardly."
"I am not."
Miss Pei was a little anxious and wanted to establish a good relationship with Princess Yong'an. At this moment, she didn't want to waste time on Fu Hengyue.
"Today, I am busy talking to Princess Yong'an and have no time to care about you. We have a long way to go. When I become... a real Crown Princess, I will talk to you about our sisterly love."
After saying this, the woman turned and left.
Fu Hengyue loosened his hands, which he had clenched for who knows how long. There were already marks of nails on his palms, and he still felt a little scared.
