The pages of the "Amitabha Sutra" on the ground were turned by the wind, and the handwriting inside was clearly reflected in the sight of the late empress.
The former empress, who was sitting on the ground in a mess, crawled towards the "Amitabha Sutra" that was rustling in the wind in front of her, picked it up from the ground, wiped the dirt on it off her body, and then hugged the two Buddhist scriptures copied by Jiang Jingyu tightly in her arms.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, it's the Queen Mother's fault. It's all the Queen Mother's fault. You have been wronged over the years."
After learning the truth, the former empress began to repent while holding the Buddhist scriptures copied by Jiang Jingyu herself. How deep her love was, how deep her hatred was after learning that she was betrayed.
Now that he knows the truth, his resentment towards himself will be ten or even a hundred times deeper than his previous hatred!
The former empress cried for a long time while holding the Buddhist scriptures, until her throat became hoarse and she was exhausted. Finally, her body could not bear such a blow and she fainted.
"The Emperor!"
Upon seeing this, the palace maids hurried forward to help the late empress up and carried her into the sedan chair.
"Where to now?"
The two palace servants who were accompanying them looked at each other and frowned solemnly.
"Go back. The Emperor certainly doesn't want anyone to see her like this."
One of the palace maids made a decision after pondering for a moment. The two of them hit it off and turned their horses around and went back the way they came, preserving the last bit of dignity for the late empress.
——
After returning to the palace, Nanny Xiang knelt in front of the imperial study and apologized to Jiang Jingyu.
The late emperor was afraid that the late empress would not be able to bear the blow after learning the truth, so before leaving, he issued an imperial decree to those who knew the truth, forbidding anyone to mention the matter.
Today, she disobeyed the late emperor's decree and told the late empress the truth. If anything happened to the late empress, it was all her fault. The moment she left the palace, Nanny Xiang was prepared to die.
After hearing the palace maid's message, Jiang Jingyu walked out of the imperial study. The moment he saw Nanny Xiang's figure, he knocked his head heavily to the ground.
"I, an old servant, have violated the decree of the late emperor and the late emperor by telling the truth to the retired emperor. I have committed a capital crime. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"
Nanny Xiang knocked her head to the ground and apologized to Jiang Jingyu in a loud voice.
Jiang Jingyu walked up to Nanny Xiang, bent down and held Nanny Xiang's arm.
"Mammy, get up quickly."
Nanny Xiang looked up at Jiang Jingyu and said, "Your Majesty, I know I have committed a capital crime. This was my own will and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. I do not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness, but only ask Your Majesty not to take the blame for this matter on myself!"
Nanny Xiang knew that the late empress might not be able to withstand the blow. If anything happened to the late empress, it would be all her fault and had nothing to do with His Majesty.
Jiang Jingyu sighed: "Forget it, the matter must be concluded eventually. It would be better to let the Queen Mother know about this."
Jiang Jingyu, who was in love, knew very well that instead of letting the former empress be kept in the dark and think that the late emperor and the palace maids had colluded to betray her, it would be better to let her know the truth and let her know that the person she loved deeply also loved her.
Perhaps the former empress would blame herself and feel regret after knowing the truth, but that would be better than letting her be immersed in the sorrow and resentment of being abandoned by her beloved.
At least now what remains in her memory is no longer the hatred and resentment towards the late king and queen, but the bits and pieces of their journey together.
The late emperor did not leave nothing for the late empress. He left behind the most precious memories between them.
——
While Mingyou was bathing, Jiang Jingyu drafted an imperial decree to crown her as queen. After passing it down, she got on the sedan chair and returned to the Yutian Palace.
There was a hot spring in the inner hall of the Yutian Palace, and Mingyou was surrounded by palace servants and brought to the hot spring to take a bath.
Although Mingyou was now the emperor of the Celestial Empire, he was used to being self-sufficient and was not at all used to being served by palace servants. So when he returned to the Yutian Palace, he dismissed all the palace servants.
He sent all the palace maids out of the palace, and he was the only one left in the huge Yutian Palace.
In order to find a way to detoxify Jiang Jingyu, Mingyou returned to Purgatory again, the place where his nightmare began.
During the few days he returned to Purgatory, he suffered inhuman torture, but fortunately, he finally got what he wished for and found a way to detoxify Jiang Jingyu.
In order to prevent the poison in Mingyou's body from spreading, he has been lying in bed these days. No one dares to move him easily. He is still wearing the black robe he wore when he came back from Purgatory.
The wounds on his body were all covered by the black robe. Now that Mingyou took off the black robe, the dense scars on his back were all exposed.
Ming You casually threw the black robe aside, then walked towards the hot spring in front. His expression did not change at all until his entire body was immersed in the hot spring and the wound on his back was wet by the spring water.
Ming You submerged his entire body below the chest into the hot spring pool. The blood that had dried on his back was instantly washed away by the spring water, and soon the place where he was was covered in red.
However, the hot spring pool was covered with red roses, and the hot spring water was flowing, so people could not see anything unusual in the water.
After washing the blood off his back, Mingyou leaned against the hot spring pool, resting his arms on the pool wall, allowing the hot spring to penetrate his wounds and pores.
When Jiang Jingyu arrived at the Yutian Palace, the palace servants standing outside the palace bowed to her.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingyu glanced into the hall and immediately guessed that the palace maids were driven out by Mingyou.
She shook her head helplessly and walked into the hall alone.
After entering the hall, Jiang Jingyu did not stop and went directly to the hot spring pool in the inner hall.
At this time, the hall was filled with fog. At a glance, it was all mist, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Jiang Jingyu walked lightly towards the hot spring in front, not knowing that Mingyou had opened his eyes the moment she entered...
