More than half a month later, the Regent once again approached the father and daughter and asked, "Isn't your daughter's face healed now?"
The old emperor showed a somewhat flattering smile: "Your Highness, the Regent Prince, you need to recuperate for another day or two."
"This prince can't wait that long. Tomorrow at the latest, Shen Xiaohan will return to the palace the day after tomorrow. If there is a delay and the matter is not completed, then at that time, I can't be sure that I can do what I promised."
The old emperor's heart sank and he sighed imperceptibly.
Finally, he lowered his head slightly and said, "We will do it as soon as possible, Your Majesty."
"Then this king will wait for your good news."
"Okay, okay."
The next day, Tang Qingqing entered the palace again under the pretext of Tang Wan's mother's relics.
Tang Wan still sat in the high seat and took a sip of tea: "Why, have you figured it out?"
Tang Qingqing didn't say anything. She pursed her lips, emotions swirling in her eyes.
Tang Wan didn't seem to notice. "It's a good thing that you can think it through. Your mother loves you very much. I will give you some money so that you and your mother can have a good life."
Tang Qingqing retorted, "Are you so kind?"
Tang Wan smiled bitterly, "My mother left me when I was young. Although you treat me badly and your mother is also harsh on me, for me, every time I see you and your mother together, I will think of my own mother."
"Just think of it as me being soft-hearted because I'm pregnant. From now on, we'll be so far apart that we won't have to meet again. I'll just pretend I've never seen you."
"What gives you the right?" Her eyes were red and big tears fell out, hitting the ground and making a small splash.
Tang Wan looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.
"Why, why can you be so nice?" She cried and couldn't control herself.
She didn't understand. If she were Tang Wan, she wouldn't think like that at all. She would just want to get rid of them mother and daughter as soon as possible.
Why is she so good? Why does she always look so innocent and kind? She hates it.
Tang Wan ruined her marriage and her mother, she should hate her, but why? She couldn't hate her!
She looked into those gentle eyes, and the last bit of conscience in her heart was awakened. Her mother used to look at her in the same way.
She whispered to Tang Wan, "Find someone to change your clothes, otherwise you won't even know how you died."
"Are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you. I just don't want the man who murdered my mother to get what he wants."
Tang Wan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. As expected, someone was going to attack her.
It was worth her acting out, she finally got the words out of him.
"This is your mother's legacy. I'm returning it to you. Don't forget to give me the money. From now on, we owe each other nothing."
She eagerly grabbed Tang Qingqing's hand and said, "Now, you have voluntarily left the Northern Qi royal family. Don't you want to take revenge with your own hands?"
"Do you believe me?" She looked at Tang Wan in surprise and doubt.
That look was as if Tang Wan had some serious illness.
"I just think you're pitiful. You had it and then suddenly lost it. It would be better if you didn't have it in the first place."
"How about it, are you willing to kill the enemy who murdered your mother?"
Tang Qingqing's eyes showed madness: "Of course I do."
These days, she missed her mother all the time, but her mother never appeared in her dreams once.
She knew that her mother was angry with her and that it was her fault. She had realized her mistake, but her mother would never come back, would never call her Qingqing again, and would never touch her hair gently again.
She had thought it through clearly in the past few days. Rather than saying that her mother was killed by Tang Wan, it would be better to say that she was actually a political victim and died at the hands of a man.
He Yi had long been missing due to the war, and might have already died.
As for her, her mother was gone, her lover was gone, and her father only used her as a tool. She could not find the meaning of living anymore.
She said to Tang Wan, "Pick out a set of your clothes for me."
Tang Wan frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"I want revenge. I know you're a pushover who can't bear to see those around you die, but I've already lost all ties. It doesn't matter if I die. Just consider it my way of repaying a favor."
“You’re still young…”
"I don't even have the meaning to keep myself alive, so what's the point of being young?" Tang Qingqing's words stunned her.
She gave Tang Qingqing a complicated look and said, "Since this is your wish, I won't try to dissuade you any further."
"Thank you very much, sister." She smiled, and her face, which had been suffering from long-term malnutrition, had a little more color and looked quite beautiful.
This might be the first time she called Tang Wan her imperial sister, but it would also be the last time.
Tang Wan was thin, and she was also frail because she was very hungry.
The two men are about the same height and have the same father, so if you look closely, you can see that they have some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.
Tang Qingqing took out the packet of powder and said, "They asked me to drug you and ruin your innocence."
Tang Wan threw away the packet of powder: "You don't have to take these. I still hope that you can save your life."
Tang Qingqing sat in front of the dressing mirror, carefully putting on her makeup.
Her hands were quite skillful. She was able to make the face, which was only 30% similar, look 70% similar.
She said to Tang Wan solemnly, "You must immediately find the most secluded place to hide. No matter what sound you hear, do not come out."
"But Ahan left me a secret guard."
"It's useless to have secret guards. They have already laid a tight net. It's useless. They have too many people. You can't die. If I die, you have to avenge me."
Tang Qingqing also disguised her stomach. She crushed the medicine powder on the ground with her fingertips, put it in her mouth, lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
Soon, an unbearable heat swept over.
The thieves also came at this time, but fortunately the secret guards rushed out in time, so she did not suffer any substantial harm.
After an unknown amount of time, her mind was no longer clear, and she suddenly heard a voice in a daze: "Uncle, you have to think carefully, your prickly heat is in my hands."
"What on earth do you want to do, you beast?"
The Regent smiled, a hint of greed in his eyes: "That depends on whether the uncle is willing to give it to me. What I want is, of course, the supreme position."
Tang Qingqing's eyes are most similar to Tang Wan's, and she has her eyes closed.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Xiaohan took so long to recognize him.
Shen Xiaohan: "Let her go first, we can discuss anything."
"Do you think I'm a fool? Uncle, do you think I'll survive if I let you go?"
Shen Xiaohan's face was gloomy. It was because she had been too indulgent in the past that the Regent became so ambitious and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
