"Wait," Songdan called out to her, "We can't call them here."
Wan'er turned to look at Songdan, her eyes filled with a hint of contempt and disdain.
"It's you who lets them come, and it's you who doesn't let them come. Do you really think I'm still the fool who listened to you before?" Wan'er's cold voice drifted into Songdan's ears.
"It's all my fault. As long as you don't let the Emperor and Empress Dowager come, you can kill me or torture me as you please." To protect Dong'e County, Songdan had no choice but to bow his head.
She doubted the evidence Wan'er presented, but she dared not gamble. If she lost, her entire family would become commoners, and all the honors and achievements accumulated by their ancestors would be lost.
"Heh..." Wan'er could naturally guess what Songdan was thinking.
Just then, Qi Lan finally arrived with the imperial physician.
After a diagnosis by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that Songdan would never be able to stand up again in his life.
"Quack doctor!" Songdan refused to believe it. She grabbed a shard of metal from the ground and threw it at the imperial physician who had just said he was incurable.
The imperial physician couldn't dodge in time and had to endure the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, "If Consort Ning doesn't believe me, she can call another imperial physician."
If it weren't for Wan'er's presence, he would have already stormed off, not wanting to deal with this crazy woman anymore.
Seeing this, Wan'er didn't want to put the imperial physician in a difficult position, so she dismissed him.
"I don't believe it." Songdan shook her head. "Your Highness, please call a few more imperial physicians."
This time, Wan'er did not comply with her wishes, but instead had Qi Lan place the bronze mirror in front of Song Dan.
Instead of being sad and unable to stand up, you should take a good look at whether your appearance is still the same.
"Appearance?" Songdan looked at the bronze mirror in confusion. When she saw the person in the mirror clearly, she was so shocked that she froze in place.
The person in the mirror had turned completely black, even her lips were a dark black patch, devoid of any color, and was no longer the radiant beauty she once was.
"This, this is impossible..." she murmured, completely unable to accept these two blows in succession.
"How could it be impossible? This is your retribution; I don't even need to lift a finger," Wan'er said with a light laugh.
Since ancient times, women have cherished their appearance, especially women like Songdan who admire their looks. She absolutely could not accept being disfigured, as it would be worse than death.
"Kill me, please kill me!" Songdan smashed the bronze mirror and grabbed Wan'er's skirt.
"Kill you? I'm not that stupid." Wan'er disdainfully moved her hand away and took a few steps back.
"But this is worse than death for me!" Songdan cried out in despair.
"If you want to die, it's easy. Just pull out the hairpin and stab your own neck. Why dirty my hands?" Wan'er said indifferently, showing no sympathy for her.
She will not sympathize with her. The things she has done over the years are too numerous to count, and she should have been punished long ago.
"Alright!" Songdan hurriedly pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair, and was about to stab it into her neck, but then she couldn't bring herself to do it.
It turns out that she was still afraid of death.
Upon seeing this, Wan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you're afraid of death, then don't make it sound so high-sounding."
“You…” Songdan’s eyes widened.
She knew Wan'er was mocking her; she didn't even dare to die.
"snort!"
Seeing that Songdan had received the punishment she deserved, Wan'er did not linger any longer. Regardless of Songdan's despair, she resolutely asked Qilan to help her leave Zhongcui Palace.
The sky was a clear blue after the rain, and the sunlight was even brighter. A rainbow hung in the sky, a truly beautiful sight.
Wan'er returned to Chengqian Palace, looked up at the beautiful rainbow in the sky, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Those who harmed the original owner have all been rendered hopeless by her schemes, leaving only Dong'e County behind.
"It's okay, there will be opportunities." She secretly encouraged herself.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity came very soon.
As soon as it got dark that day, Fu Lin stormed into Chengqian Palace.
Of course, he wasn't angry with Wan'er, but rather ashamed of his own incompetence.
"I am truly useless; I am not even qualified to make you Empress." Fulin looked at Wan'er with a bitter expression.
Wan'er's face did not show any disappointment; she had already guessed this outcome.
She then comforted him, saying, "I have never coveted the position of Empress. I am content to be by the side of my beloved."
Seeing Wan'er's sensible appearance, Fu Lin felt even more guilty. "That may be true, but I am really unwilling to let these people control me."
"Sigh..." Wan'er sighed heavily, understanding Fu Lin's helplessness.
Indeed, under pressure from Wu Keshan and many court officials, he had no choice but to make Borjigit Mengduo his empress. This was someone who called him uncle, and he couldn't understand why these people would take it for granted.
"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Wan'er asked.
“My mother initially disagreed, but after a private talk with my uncle, she changed her mind.”
Da Yu'er was a woman of vision. In order to protect Fulin's position, she needed the support of Mongolia.
Wan'er would naturally understand, after all, Fu Lin was young and not very clear about many big picture situations, and his actions were rather immature.
"The Empress Dowager also has her own reasons, and in short, everything she does is for your own good," Wan'er advised.
But Fulin, being stubborn, didn't listen to Wan'er's words at all, and said angrily, "What difficulties does she have? She just wants to continue the glory of the Borjigit clan. I am just a puppet. Blame it on me for being her son."
Seeing this, Wan'er could only remain silent. She knew that saying anything more would be useless, after all, Fulin's misunderstanding of Dayuer was too deep and had not been a recent development.
After a long pause, Fulin softened his tone, "If I could, I would really like to be like my eighth brother, a carefree prince, with only you as my wife in this life."
Upon hearing this, Wan'er smiled, "Does Your Majesty really want to give up wealth and honor to live in seclusion in the mountains with me? You should know how many people in the world want to be in a high position and fight tooth and nail for it. Does Your Majesty really not care?"
Suddenly, Fulin became serious and said earnestly to Wan'er, "I really don't care, and besides, I'm not a good emperor."
"What nonsense is Your Majesty spouting? How can you not be a good emperor?" Although Wan'er thought so in her heart, she still had to flatter him on the surface.
"No..." Fu Lin was self-aware, "To be honest, Wan'er, the current calm is all thanks to Mother and Fourteenth Uncle, and has nothing to do with me."
"This..." Wan'er didn't know how to respond to Fu Lin's words.
Fu Lin continued, "Wan'er, are you willing to give up all the glory and wealth in the palace and come with me? Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."
This was the original owner's wish, so how could Wan'er refuse?
But if it were her, she wouldn't be willing. After all, giving up everything for a man is something she, an ordinary person, naturally couldn't do.
"Your Majesty, I am willing." Wan'er nodded.
Seeing Wan'er nod, Fu Lin was overjoyed. He reached out and pulled Wan'er into his arms. "Good, then the three of us can live a free and carefree life."
Wan'er was a realist and wouldn't fall for Fulin's empty promises. So she asked, "Then what method does Your Majesty have?"
She concluded that Fulin couldn't come up with a solution.
