Chapter 797: Conclusion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Yu did not know if it was because a lie would become the truth if she lied too much, but she really fell in love with Xuanyuan Ce later on.
As for the beginning…
Just as Xuanyuan Ce had said, she was just using him as a raft to escape the fate of entering the palace.
At that time, the aristocratic families were all focused on the women in the harem. As long as one of them gave birth to an imperial heir, they would eliminate Xuanyuan Qi.
As for Xuanyuan Ce, to put it bluntly, he was alive because Xuanyuan Qi was still alive.
As long as Xuanyuan Qi died, he would be the second person to be killed by the aristocratic families.
It was obvious that such a worthless person was not taken seriously by the aristocratic families.
It was precisely because Madam Yu saw through this that she let the rumors spread that she admired Xuanyuan Ce.
As a daughter of an aristocratic family, she knew too well how ruthless the family clan was. Moreover, her actions were no different from provocation. How could the family head let her off?
As expected, when the family head realized that the rumors could not be suppressed, he did not want to marry her off. Instead, he completely gave up on her and let her fend for herself in the family.
This was her punishment.
They wanted her to know that she was nothing without the protection of her family.
However, they did not know that although she could not even compare to a maidservant in those few years, they were the most rea.s.suring years for her.
This was because she no longer had to worry about being sent out like good-looking goods.
There was no need to be plagued by nightmares for the entire night after hearing that a daughter of the Yu family had died tragically in the harem.
Unfortunately, this peace of mind changed four years after she was abandoned by the family clan.
She remembered that a daughter of the Yu family wanted to enter the palace the next day. Just like the others, she vented her unhappiness before entering the palace. Madam Yu spent the night in the horse shed as usual.
That night, under the moonlight, a young man in black appeared in her line of sight.
She clearly only saw a pair of eyes and did not even know who the other party was, but she was tempted by him.
Based on her familiarity with the layout of the residence, she mustered her courage and quietly followed the young man. She watched as he walked into the master’s study and watched as he was discovered and hunted down.
Madam Yu took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face. She smiled mockingly. “If I hadn’t helped you that day, do you think you could have escaped from the Yu family?”
“You only remember how that woman saved you on your way back to the imperial mausoleum, but you don’t remember how I helped you before that!”
She was the one who helped him hide his traces and cut her arm to lure the pursuers away. That was how he left alive!
She was the one who saved him first!
No one Imew that when she found out that the person she saved was Xuanyuan Ce, she still happily thought that this was predestined.
The next year, a man named Si Yun suddenly found her. He said that Xuanyuan Ce had s.n.a.t.c.hed his fiancée.
At first, she did not believe it.
“At that time, you asked me if I really had no feelings for you. If I told you the truth, would you have married me?”
Xuanyuan Ce frowned and did not answer.
Madam Yu sneered. “You wouldn’t have! You’ve thought of me as a backup plan from the beginning. If I told the truth, you’ll definitely insist on sending me away.”
If she had not seen Xuanyuan Ce in advance, she would have left the Yu family and lived freely.
But how could there be so many ifs in the world?
If that woman could make Xuanyuan Ce fall in love with her because she saved Xuanyuan Ce, why couldn’t she?
Moreover, she had Si Yun to help her.
As long as that woman completely disappeared from Xuanyuan Ce’s world, he would fall in love with her one day.
However, she had underestimated Xuanyuan Ce’s feelings for that woman.
The imperial physician did not dare to tell Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor the truth, but she knew that Xuanyuan Ce had fallen ill because he missed her.
The funny thing was that the period when Xuanyuan Ce fell ill because of another woman was when she was closest to him.
Later on, she often thought how good it would be if His Highness was sick forever. She could see him whenever she wanted.
It was also because of this almost perverted thought that she took the risk of leaving him alive and hiding him in her room, the closest place to her.
“Even if I Imew that you saved me that night, I wouldn’t like you.” Xuanyuan Ce stood up and placed his hand on Chu Feng’s shoulder. He said coldly, “Besides, these are not reasons for you to harm Ah Luo.” Madam Yu was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud.
This man, this man…
As usual, he was unwilling to give her any hope.
Xuanyuan Ce was helped out of the interrogation room by Chu Feng. When he crossed the threshold, he paused. “You saved me back then. I won’t kill you, but I have to return the suffering you’ve given to Ah Luo.”
He “looked” at the prison guard guarding the door. ‘Go and tell His Majesty to let Madam Yu spend the rest of her life in a dark room.”
Xuanyuan Ce left without looking back.
Madam Yu stopped laughing. When she realized what he had said, tears rolled down her face. She raised her hand to cover her eyes. Her shoulders could not help but tremble as she whimpered silently.
She didn’t make too much noise, but the sadness that enveloped her seemed tangible.
It was unknown if it was regret or hatred.
Chu Feng helped Xuanyuan Ce out of the secret room and carefully glanced at him a few times. He couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, what exactly happened that day? Why did you return to the lord’s residence unscathed? Why were you almost killed by a woman?”
Xuanyuan Ce took a deep breath and looked up. “You talk too much.”
What else could it be? It was just that Ah Luo ignored him and Jiajia refused to acknowledge him. When he found out that she might have been deceived by Madam Yu, he held back her resentment.
For some reason, he wanted to settle scores with Madam Yu. Unexpectedly, he was tricked and almost lost his life.
He never wanted to mention such an embarra.s.sing thing again in his life.
“Oh.” Chu Feng rubbed his nose and saw the people in the pavilion in front of him. He said happily, “Your Highness, Madam Ji and Madam Song are still waiting for us.”
“They’re clearly waiting for me.” Xuanyuan Ce corrected him indifferently.
“Also, call her Miss Jiajia in the future.”
Chu Feng said, “Alright.”
Xuanyuan Ziming had also entered the palace today. Xuanyuan Qi had asked him to pay attention to the various medical centers in Feng City. This was why he was here.
After leaving the imperial study, he went to the imperial hospital again and called a few imperial physicians away. Unexpectedly, he encountered Shen Yijia and the others who had also left the palace.
“Madam, Brother Song, Jiajia.” He walked over and greeted them. When he noticed Xuanyuan Ce walking at the back, he quickly called out, “Uncle.” Xuanyuan Ce nodded. “Why did you enter the palace today?”
“I’m here to report something to Father.” Halfway through his sentence, Xuanyuan Ziming’s eyes lit up as he thought of something. He looked at Ji Luo and said, “I heard that it’s all thanks to Madam that Imperial Uncle can wake up. Even tne Imperial pnyslclans praised madam’s miraculous SKIIIS ana said that she’s comparable to Hua Tuo…”
Ji Luo held her forehead. “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Xuanyuan Ziming chuckled. “It’s just that… I want to ask if Madam has any good prescriptions for treating the epidemic..”
