Sheng Xiyan lowered her head and didn't look up.
A majestic and deep voice came from the throne.
"Sheng, you asked to leave the palace half a month ago and spoke rudely. I should have punished you by making you spend the rest of your life in seclusion.
However, when I think back on the past two years of your meticulous service, it has brought me so much warmth and happiness.
I grant you special mercy and allow you to leave Hanyu Temple."
Sheng Xiyan looked up at the emperor's cold eyes.
Xuan Ling curled his lips, without any emotion, and glanced at her arrogantly.

You can also hold a beauty pageant to recruit talented beauties from all over the world."
Sheng Xiyan bit her lip and laughed, two tears flowing from her beautiful eyes.

Xiyan only wishes the Emperor a long and healthy life."
Xuan Ling said coldly and ruthlessly:
"I wish you and I would never meet each other day after day.
I restore your monthly salary as a second-rank imperial consort, and also reward you with a thousand taels of gold and silver, a hundred pieces of jade and jewelry, a thousand acres of fertile land, and a house.
So that after you marry your beloved, you can live a life of confidence without being constrained by your in-laws."
