Chu Yue Zhao sat on the green pine in the courtyard, glanced at the wine in her hand, then looked up at the moonlight, but ultimately did not drink the wine in the pot.
He knew he couldn't drink, but for a fleeting moment he wanted to immerse himself in alcohol.
"Moonlight".
A familiar voice rang out, and Chu Yue Zhao thought she had misheard, but the next second she heard the other person say, "I'm here."
He looked down and saw Wan Ge standing below. He immediately jumped down from the tree: "Sister... what is my sister-in-law doing here?"
"Please still call me sister. My days are numbered, and I want to spend my last moments with you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue Zhao panicked instantly and grabbed his hand: "What's wrong? Are you sick? I know a renowned doctor, I'll have him..."
Wan Ge shook her head: "No need, no need, actually I..."
Thinking that the other person would forget after drinking the soup, it wouldn't matter if he told the truth: "Actually, I am not an ordinary person. I came from elsewhere to protect you."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Yue Zhao looked completely bewildered.
Wan Ge reached out and touched his head: "I said I'm here to protect you, to protect you so you can safely pass through your coming-of-age ceremony. After your coming-of-age ceremony, your life will be smooth sailing."
Chu Yue Zhao certainly wouldn't believe that someone would suddenly tell him he wasn't human. Wan Ge knew he didn't believe her, so she made him roll up his sleeve and then placed the spider lily mark directly on his arm: "This is what I left for you. This mark is on you, and I can sense if you are in danger. You should have noticed it too; it suddenly appeared on your arm."
When Wan Ge touched it with her fingertips, the mark of the red spider lily emitted a faint glow.
Chu Yue Zhao still didn't understand: "Since you came for me, why did you marry the Crown Prince?"
Only then did Wan Ge explain her relationship with the Crown Prince, and also told him that she and the Crown Prince were not actually husband and wife.
Because the Crown Prince's lover was not her, and she originally had no connection with the Crown Prince. If it weren't for their cooperative relationship, she and the Crown Prince would never have crossed paths.
After hearing everything, the moment Chu Yue Zhao heard her say she liked him, she didn't know whether she was more sad or happy. She was sad because she was about to leave. She was happy because she liked him.
Wan Ge told him that if there were only two days left, she would give him both of those days.
Miss Meng will return in the future, but she can't let others know, since this body will eventually become the Crown Princess and then the Empress.
Chu Yue Zhao understood, so for the next two days, no one except the Crown Prince and the two of them knew about this.
…
On the day of Chu Yue's coming-of-age ceremony, Wan Ge didn't bring anything else, but just a bowl of soup, which she let Chu Yue drink first before attending the ceremony.
Chu Yue Zhao didn't notice anything at first, only realizing it when she drank the soup—that she had said she was leaving, and this soup…
When he tried to vomit the soup, his mind was already foggy.
Wan Ge put down the bowl in her hand and returned to the East Palace, where she collapsed as soon as she arrived.
The Crown Prince panicked the moment he saw her collapse. He rushed forward and caught her in his arms. He checked her breathing and it seemed she was just asleep, but he was still worried. He called her a few times but she didn't wake up, so he sent someone to call the imperial physician.
