"Yan'er knows she's wrong."
The little maid stuck out her tongue and didn't take it to heart. She would not bring trouble to the Empress.
After the Wanshou Festival, Yan Fu was still very busy. At noon, he told Qiao Yu to eat well and not to eat less. He would have dinner with her later.
Hua Yunya took advantage of the lunch break to have lunch with Qiao Yu. He said a lot of things, both openly and covertly, but all of them were to get her to talk to Yan Fu and get the emperor to come to her palace.
Qiao Yu was not angry, but responded in a gentle voice:
"If you see the emperor, I will help you speak, but whether you can win the emperor's heart depends on you."

Zhu'er was lying on the bed, with sweat on her forehead, and looked very painful.
The pain was not from the illness, but from the images that kept appearing in her mind, the real pain of being tortured into a human pig, and her endless and surging hatred.
"Pearl..Pearl?"
Qiao Yu called her softly a few times, and Zhu'er suddenly jerked, her eyes shining black and scary, even Sufang who was standing beside her was startled.
Zhu Er stared blankly at the woman in front of her who seemed to be as beautiful as the goddess, and said in a daze:
