Chapter Twenty-Five: The Grand Ceremony
Lu Lingjun: No, I only lost a wisp of divine consciousness and became a bit of a fool.
Eventually, news came from the palace that the coronation ceremony would proceed as planned.
Thus, Nan Wan was forced to ride in the wedding carriage, but she had Duan Xingyue removed from the dowry list.
Duan Xingyue clung to the moon gate in the courtyard, her hands covered in blood.
"Wan'er, Wan'er, don't you want me anymore? Do you hate me? Wan'er, I don't want to leave you again."
Duan Xingyue endured more than a month in the hands of the First Madam, hoping to return to Nan Wan's side, but he never expected that Nan Wan would abandon him.
Why doesn't his Wan'er want him anymore? When he was castrated, his Wan'er stayed with him. When he was about to die, his Wan'er was still with him.
Why does his beloved Wan'er no longer want him?
Duan Xingyue was very puzzled. Her hands were bleeding from gripping the ropes, but she was still pulled away.
Nan Wan sat calmly in front of the bright bronze mirror, watching the beautiful girl in the mirror with red makeup applied to her eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the girl in the mirror.
When she used to read novels, she always saw that the mirrors described were dim and yellowish, making it impossible to see one's reflection. But when she actually looked into a bronze mirror, she realized that...
Wow, bronze mirrors can be this clear! They're just like modern mirrors.
"From now on, your name will be Nan Wan'er." Nan Wan touched the girl in the mirror and smiled faintly, revealing a hint of glamorousness.
"Look, Nan Wan and Nan Wan'er even have the same fate."
They were both bullied and unable to control their own lives.
The old nanny behind her remained expressionless and reminded her, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. You are Nan Wan'er."
Nan Wan'er nodded: "Yes, I am Nan Wan'er."
"Do you think His Majesty would like my face?" Nan Wan'er put away the mirror and stroked her cheek.
The girl's cheeks were smeared with rouge, making them rosy and delicate.
The old nanny glanced at Nan Wan'er, her expression unchanged: "His Majesty personally appointed Her Highness as the Empress, so naturally he is extremely fond of Her Highness."
Nan Wan'er lowered her head.
She won't let any of them get away.
However, that evening, after the grand coronation ceremony, Nan Wan'er was kicked into a dilapidated palace.
A cold wind blew by, knocking down the cobwebs on the signboard.
The Cold Palace.
The two large characters are very eye-catching.
Nan Wan'er let out a miserable howl and it took her a long time to get up.
All the courage and fantasies I had mustered this afternoon have vanished without a trace.
Nan Wan'er cried loudly, pounding on the gate of the Cold Palace.
On the eaves of the Cold Palace, Gu Congxin stood, looking down at the girl who was crying loudly.
"Isn't your head heavy?"
Such a huge phoenix crown, wow.
"Are you that talking bird?" Nan Wan'er was startled and suddenly hiccuped.
"Mmm." Gu Congxin slowly flew down.
"What are you doing here?" Nan Wan'er's eyes were almost closed, completely blurred with tears.
"His Majesty sent me to see you. He said that it's too lonely for you to be alone in the Cold Palace. He can let someone in to keep you company. Who do you want? His Majesty will give you the chance to choose."
Tsk tsk tsk, what a pitiful little girl. What was she doing traveling through time? She's so pitiful.
They became someone else's pawns.
"Did His Majesty make this?" Nan Wan'er asked in a hoarse voice.
She had heard people say more than once that it was His Majesty who wanted her, not anyone else.
Since it was His Majesty who wanted her, and His Majesty had a talking bird, her thoughts couldn't help but wander.
