"The worst decision I ever made was trusting Helan Yinsheng to help me get revenge."
——Zhan Shaoang

Jin Suting didn't expect that the Queen Mother would agree so readily, and she nodded immediately. Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, the Queen Mother trusted Jin Suting more and more.
Shi Qingmiao was very excited, "Yeah! Grandma promised me!"
She hugged the Queen Mother's neck and kissed her cheek, "I knew that Grandma is the best grandma in the world!"
The Queen Mother smiled and pulled her down, then scolded her with a stern face, saying it was inappropriate for her to kiss and hug so much!
Then he turned to look at Helan Ruizhe and Jin Suting, "Your wedding date is approaching soon, you must be prepared!"
Helan Ruizhe and Jin Suting's wedding date is at the end of June. The palace, the East Palace, and the general's mansion are all preparing for the wedding. The old general has displayed the dowry clearly and personally inquired about every detail, which made Lu Xiaoxiao jealous and kept complaining for a long time. She had never seen him so attentive when it came to Jin Xiwen's wedding.
Jin Suting thought it was still early, at least there was still a month left. She didn't think too much about it, she just thought it was an ordinary wedding banquet.
However, the marriage of the prince is a major event that has been of great concern to all dynasties throughout history. Some even start preparations from the moment they are born, from the smallest details like every stitch on the wedding gown to the longest red carpet on the wedding day. All of these must be prepared in detail.
Although the Queen Mother was not as pervertedly rigorous as her, she also attached great importance to this matter. She started making arrangements on the day the candidate for the Crown Princess was decided. However, Jin Suting disappeared for a while, and the progress of the matter was halted for half a month.
The Queen Mother also told her personally that the bride's wedding dress was sewn by the most skillful embroiderer in the palace's clothing department, who spent half a year sewing it. It was also custom-made after measuring Jin Suting's size. She felt shy after hearing these words, and also felt that the Queen Mother was really good to her.
"All necessary preparations have been made." Helan Ruizhe said this. Indeed, all necessary preparations have been made, and he knew the process by heart.
The Queen Mother suddenly had a violent cough, which only lasted for a moment before she recovered. Shi Qingmiao didn't have time to help her catch her breath. "What I'm most worried about are you two."
She was referring to Helan Ruizhe and Shi Qingmiao. Helan Ruizhe was about to marry his ideal wife, but Shi Qingmiao not only failed to find her ideal husband, but was also being harassed by that brat Si Shuo.
"You," the Queen Mother took Shi Qingmiao's hand, "you must find a reliable man in the future who can take care of others and understand their feelings. Otherwise, I will not be able to close my eyes in the grave."
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Shi Qingmiao stamped her feet anxiously. She didn't want to hear this. "You still want to live a hundred years. You won't go to the underworld or anything like that. Even after a hundred years, you will go to heaven."
"Silly girl," the Queen Mother's eyes were a little moist. She glanced at Helan Ruizhe, her eyes unfocused, and in the end, it was unclear whether she was looking into the distance. "Who knows if there really is a heaven?"
A long time ago, she asked her master whether there really were gods in this world. They lived in heaven, and the dead would return to heaven to become gods.
Master said, "You are so foolish! If there really were gods living in heaven, would there still be so many people suffering? After death, people will go to the underworld, especially those who have done many bad things, who will go to the eighteen levels of hell."
"Besides, those who do too many bad things will go to hell."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, as if recalling the past. Her thoughts drifted back to Hanshan more than thirty years ago. It was really strange. It was a place that she could not remember at all a few years ago, but it always appeared in her dreams and in front of her eyes in the past few days.
But no matter how much she knocked on the door, no one came to open it for her, and she couldn't get in even if she climbed over the wall.
Thirty years ago, she personally wiped out the entire Hanshan clan, and now she still dreams of returning to that place...
***
June 6th, evening.
Summer nights usually come later, and even after the sun has set, there is still light, which makes the mountain ridges look very beautiful. However, the man climbing high on the wall does not look at the distant ridges, because the person he cares about is in the palace at his feet.
Helan Minzhi has been ill for three days. He is extremely anxious. If he doesn't go to the palace to check on him, he will die suddenly at home.
His footsteps landed steadily inside the palace wall. In fact, he had to climb over the wall every time, but recently it was a special period and the Queen Mother would not allow any man to appear in Helan Minzhi's palace.
They would not allow Yu Seung-ho to appear in Helan Minzhi Palace.
She was drowsy with fever and had only caught a cold, but she wanted to stay cool, or perhaps out of spite, so she took a cold bath herself. The palace maids who served her all asked if she was crazy.
She's not crazy, she just has someone she wants to see.
He didn't ask anyone to serve him for his meal in the afternoon. He just took his medicine and went to bed.
She thought that if she got sick she would be able to see the person she missed immediately, and she was betting on it with her body, but she still had to wait for three days.
This has been going on for too long. She has been living between cold and heat every day. It is so uncomfortable.
Sometimes she would wonder if he would not come, but fortunately, he came on the third day.
“Squeak—”
The door of Helan Minzhi's room was old and the entire palace was very small. When Yu Seung-ho walked in, he seemed to smell some musty smell and a distinct coldness.
I frowned subconsciously, wondering how could she not take care of herself.
It was the hottest time of June, when people didn't want to wear clothes, but her palace was so cold that it made people sweat.
Her hair was uncombed and she was lying quietly on the bed, awake, with things spilled on the floor.
The person walking towards her was the last sunflower in her boring life.
Yu Seung-ho brought medicine with him. Although he knew that the Imperial Hospital would prescribe it, he still couldn't help but bring it with him.
