"Sometimes I think that time seems to have passed quite fast. Before I knew it, I have been married to Your Highness for more than a year. I am lucky to have Your Highness's love in this life. There have been many twists and turns between you and me. Now we finally have a mutual understanding, but unexpectedly we have encountered such a disaster. Your Highness always said that from the moment you were poisoned, you were ready to die at any time. But Your Highness doesn't know that I have never made such a plan."

At this point, Xu Xingyin's voice was choked with sobs.

"Don't people always say that evil lasts for a thousand years? If that's the case, people like you should live a hundred years. You are really bad, don't you think I don't know? You have been calculating me since the first time you saw me. Moreover, even though I know it well, I can only do what you want, because you know very well that I have no other choice. Tell me, are people like you annoying?

So, later on, I always subconsciously avoided you. At that time, I thought that someone as smart and scheming as you should be kept at a distance. But fate plays tricks on us, and we always seem to meet unexpectedly. At the beginning, when my mother, brother and I were forced into a desperate situation by Duke Xu, I was thinking about how to resist, but I never thought that you would lend me a hand. That day, you were too calm, and you calmly analyzed the pros and cons with me. But I know that you obviously had a better choice at that time. You threw the olive branch of the Crown Princess to me, and you suffered a loss. So, from that day on, I decided to be your "ally". No matter how difficult your future path is, I will help you.

Later, we got married. Although we were not husband and wife, I don’t know when you started to feel different to me. Maybe, when you held my hand on the wedding day, your eyes were too gentle; or maybe, when you handed me the river lantern by the Jiangning Lake, the scenery around us was too beautiful; or, when you blocked the sharp blades of Dong Hongbin’s minions with your bare hands, you were obviously the one who was injured, but you foolishly comforted me and said it was okay. Time and again, I was moved, heartbroken, and sad, and slowly realized that our prince was not smart at all. But I fell in love with such a stupid you. "

When Xu Xingyin said this, he seemed to have turned into a fallen leaf swaying in the wind, trembling so hard that he almost tore himself apart.

She covered her face and cried uncontrollably, but still stubbornly whispered in a low, hoarse voice.

It’s as if... I’m afraid that person will never hear again.

"Jing Zhichen, I like you. I have owed you this for a long time. I like you more than anyone else in this world, so... please don't leave me alone, okay?"

In the empty palace, the woman's voice became lower and lower, but she received no response. In the end, there was only endless wailing and almost inaudible sobs.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. The moonlight outside the window shone through the curtains onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows.

Xu Xingyin didn't know how long she had been sitting by the bed like this, until Du Huaigu knocked on the door and came in, she seemed to wake up and come to her senses.

I called out blankly, "Mr. Huaigu?"

"Crown Princess." Du Huaigu nodded slightly, "I'll take your pulse."

"it is good."

Xu Xingyin nodded woodenly and gave up his seat.

Du Huaigu didn't say much, and immediately took Jing Zhichen's pulse and examined him carefully.

Judging from Jing Zhichen's pulse, he was feeling much better. Du Huaigu felt relieved and said thankfully.

"Your Highness' pulse has improved a lot. This antidote is indeed effective. But Your Highness has been poisoned quite deeply. It will take some time for his body to recover. Crown Princess, there is no need to worry."

After hearing this, Xu Xingyin's eyes flashed with joy, "When will he wake up?"

"It may take half a day at the fastest or three days at the slowest. Crown Princess, just wait patiently." Du Huaigu said, and took out a few herbs from the medicine box, "I will prescribe a few more recuperation medicines. After the Crown Prince wakes up, take them on time for a few days, and the remaining poison will be completely eliminated."

Xu Xingyin nodded repeatedly in gratitude, and asked someone to politely escort Du Huaigu out of the palace. Then he returned to the bedside and took good care of Jing Zhichen.

After all, Jing Zhichen had been suffering from this poison for several years, and it took him three full days to recover.

During these three days, Xu Xingyin had been taking care of her personally, watching the sky outside the window change from light to dark, completely unaware that chaos had already broken out outside the East Palace.

Empress Xiao Lu ordered palace maids to poison the crown prince and murder Empress Yuan's legitimate son. After the evidence was conclusive, she was deposed by Emperor Yan Ning and banished to the cold palace.

On the night she was demoted to the cold palace, little Lu hanged herself in the cold palace with a three-foot-long white silk.

With the fall of Mrs. Lu, the Lu family also lost its support. Father Lu even resigned from his official position on the grounds of "advanced age" and moved back to Nanzhou with his entire family to live in seclusion.

At this point, the once-famous Xiao Lu family has completely retired.

After Xiao Lu lost power, everyone thought that the most likely candidate to be the next Empress Dowager would be Concubine Lian of the Handan Palace.

Who would have thought that the day after little Lu committed suicide, Concubine Lian asked for an imperial decree to go to the nunnery to live there permanently and pray for the country.

Emperor Yanning did not try to persuade him to stay, but approved it with a stroke of his imperial pen.

This confused the audience in the capital. No one could figure out why Concubine Lian was praying for such a blessing by giving up the great honor of being crowned.

Furthermore, Emperor Yanning’s attitude is also quite confusing.

Since he could depose the queen for the prince, wouldn't it be safest to give the throne to the prince's aunt, Concubine Lian?

Oh, the right and wrong in this imperial city is really confusing!

If others were confused, then Prince An, who was the most affected by this incident, was left with only anger.

After Empress Xiao Lu was deposed, the former "Wang An Party" members heard the news and distanced themselves from Wang An.

The speed of the action is astonishing.

As a result, Prince An, who was once prominent and could compete with Crown Prince Jing Zhichen in the court, suddenly became the target of public criticism and was unable to stand alone.

He is the son of a deposed empress, whose biological mother was deposed for plotting to murder the crown prince.

Judging from the current attitude of Emperor Yan Ning, the next monarch of Dayan Kingdom will most likely be Jing Zhichen.

Once Jing Zhichen ascended the throne, Prince An's faction, which had been at loggerheads with him, would naturally not end up well.

Although King An was angry, he also understood that it was reasonable for people who came together because of interests to separate because of interests.

Therefore, it was accepted quite quickly.

Prince An probably knew that his current situation was not optimistic, so he changed his previous high-profile attitude and became low-key and humble, as if he had become a different person.

He was even able to be friendly and amiable towards those former "Wang An faction", which showed his magnanimity.

At the same time, good news came from the East Palace that Jing Zhichen had awakened.
