Shen Zhiyi thanked them one by one.
"Miss, your gratitude to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, will be conveyed back to the palace by your servants."
The eunuch smiled meaningfully.
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs you to go and express your gratitude in person."
After he finished speaking, he sent someone to deliver the things to Shen Zhiyi's meditation room, then bowed and left.
Shen Zhiyi also wants to leave.
Shen Qingyan held her back and asked, "Where are you going, sister?"
"Thank you." Shen Zhiyi opened his eyes and said sincerely, "Master Kongchen, oh no, in front of His Highness, I want to thank you in person, so that I can show my sincerity."
She looked at the osmanthus tree outside the hall.
There was no one there at some point.
She quickly averted her gaze and said, "Sister, after you finish praying, let's get down the mountain as soon as possible."
Shen Qingyan became anxious and stopped her.
"My younger sister is staying alone in a Buddhist temple. As the eldest sister, how can I feel at ease?"
"I've decided to stay here. When you decide to go back, we'll go down the mountain together."
Shen Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and lifted his lips, “It’s up to you.”
She turned and left the hall.
"Miss, please wait!" Ye Jinghong chased after her and stopped in front of Chen Zhiyi. "Miss, may I have a moment to talk with you?"
Shen Zhiyi turned around, glanced at Shen Qingyan, and nodded.
The two walked away side by side.
Shen Qingyan stood in the hall, her body softened and she leaned against the pillar.
"Miss..." Lian Xing supported her worriedly.
"I never thought that my half-sister is so capable." Shen Qingyan suddenly felt a sense of crisis and grabbed Lianxing's hand. "Lianxing, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats her so differently, treating her illnesses and giving her rewards. Now Ye Jinghong's heart and eyes are full of her..."
"I'm obviously the legitimate daughter..." She bit her lip in frustration, "Why..."
"Why do all these benefits fall on her..."
Shen Zhiyi is just a concubine's daughter, of humble status, how can she be a match for him!
Lian Xing was also indignant.
"These things belong to you, young lady."
She thought of Madam Shen’s instructions, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, “Miss, you should listen to Madam and be hard-hearted.”
Shen Qingyan was shocked.
Still a little hesitant, "But..."
Lian Xing said anxiously: "Miss, if you continue to be soft-hearted, whether it is the Crown Princess or the head of the Ye family, they will only be in your pocket!"
"You and your wife will really be dependent on others from now on!"
Shen Qingyan turned her head and looked at the Buddha statue on the throne, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Dependent on others...
As long as she knows what she means, even if she is a legitimate daughter, she will be like a bright pearl covered in dust, dull and lusterless!
She clenched her fists suddenly, her eyes firm and fierce.
Shen Zhiyi...
Don't try to block her way!
…
Outside the palace.
Shen Zhiyi did not stop, but walked slowly towards the Zen room.
"Master Ye, do you have anything else to say?"
Ye Jinghong looked at her profile illuminated by the sun, his heartbeat quickened. He turned his head and said, "I came here to tell you, Miss, that the change of ownership in our family was not my original intention."
"If my relatives hadn't threatened to die, I would never have agreed."
"In my heart..." He lowered his eyes.
Suddenly he stepped forward and blocked Chen Zhiyi's way.
"Miss, do you remember the poem you recited at the poetry meeting that day?"
Shen Zhiyi stopped and looked at him in confusion.
After a while, Xiao Yu said, "Sir, you are joking. I don't think I can compare to my elder sister in talent. During the poetry gathering that day, I just made up a few random lines."
"I forgot it myself."
Ye Jinghong said firmly: "But I remember it clearly!"
"Miss O said, even if it's difficult, you will go find the lonely boat under the bright moon."
He took another step forward and said, "I know that you, Miss, want to find someone you can truly trust and someone who can weather the storms with you."
"If you're willing, I..."
"Mr. Ye." Shen Zhiyi narrowed her eyes and interrupted him in a clear voice, "You seem to have misunderstood."
There was a smile on her lips, but her eyes were distant.
"What I'm looking for is not someone I can truly entrust my life to, but..."
She raised her eyes and said word by word: "Power."
