Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

Pei Qianluo was about to say something, but the empress dowager waved her hand to send her away, warning her not to forget the responsibilities of a girl of the Pei family and not to let down Censor Pei who had cultivated her wholeheartedly.

When Pei Qianluo left the Empress Dowager's Fushou Palace and went to Qingfeng Courtyard to look for Su Changfeng and Su Yunxuan, the two had already been taken out of the palace by An Lan.

Pei Qianluo asked someone to find out whether Feng Yuqi was still in the palace.

After much difficulty, he found the courtyard where Feng Yuqi was staying in the palace, but Feng Yuqi refused to see him.

Pei Qianluo waited outside the courtyard until half an hour before the palace was locked. Only when she was sure that Feng Yuqi was determined not to see her did she hurried out of the palace.

After walking for a while towards home in despair, Pei Qianluo finally gave up and ordered the coachman to turn the horses around and go to the Princess's Mansion.

She remembered that the eldest princess had suggested that she go to the clouds with them.

Rather than being trapped to death in the cage of Fenglan Capital, she would rather follow her aunt to live freely outside under an assumed name...

In Fushou Palace, although the Queen Mother drove Pei Qianluo away, she was still angered by Pei Qianluo's rebellious attitude.

The Queen Mother leaned on the table and rubbed her head. Aunt Xu handed her a cup of ginseng tea and comforted her, "Miss Qianluo is young and full of girlish feelings. It is understandable that she only wants to find a man she loves. Queen Mother, you must not hurt your body because of her."

The Queen Mother took the ginseng tea, took a sip, and shook her head, saying, "I am not angry at her. I am angry at why I indulged her in the past."

"Miss Qianluo is the hope of your Majesty the Queen Mother. Naturally, your Majesty the Queen Mother will pamper her more." The nanny took the ginseng tea and placed it on the table, then went over to help the Queen Mother massage her head.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and sighed, "I have always thought of myself as smart, but in the end, I failed because of a favor!"

Nanny Xu's fingers paused briefly in shock and she didn't respond.

The Queen Mother chuckled and continued, "You have been with me all my life, and you know everything. But because I am your master, you never dare to say too much."

Aunt Xu was frightened by her ambiguous words and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "This old slave deserves death."

The Queen Mother stared at her body bent to the ground for a moment, raised her hand to support her, and said, "If you deserve to die, I should have died long ago."

"Your Majesty, please don't..."

Madam Xu stood up and wanted to say something else, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I am old and won't live for many more years. I don't want to hide these things anymore. Just bear with it and listen to what I have to say."

Nanny Xu lowered her eyes and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at the empress dowager respectfully and said nothing more.

The Queen Mother slowly stood up, stamping her feet and muttering to herself, "I regret it. Now that I am old, I realize that I have been too competitive in my life."

“Back then, I couldn’t swallow the humiliation of being named a noble concubine. I didn’t want to become a disgrace to the Pei family, so I fought hard and became the biggest winner in the palace fight. I finally won the throne, but I also killed my Rong’er and screwed my Yi’er and Lan’er.

Lan'er didn't tell me, so she thought I couldn't guess it?

That old man hated me for poisoning the woman he loved the most, so he was so cruel that he used my Lan'er to poison my Rong'er and sow discord between my mother and me... He was also his own son! How could he have the heart to do that?

I hate it! ...I hate the Feng family, and I also hate the Pei family...

But, I was really wrong!

I shouldn’t do that!

We shouldn’t have allowed Yi’er to regret Feng Shenyi and Feng Yinde!!”

At this point, the Queen Mother stopped and started coughing violently. Aunt Xu felt a pang in her heart when she saw this. She hurried over to pat the Queen Mother's back and said, "Queen Mother, please take care of yourself!"

After a while, the Queen Mother stopped coughing, hunched her chest and waved her hands again.

Aunt Xu finally couldn't hold back her tears, she stepped back a few steps, bowed and tried to comfort him: "Your Majesty, you have no other choice. I can see clearly that you are afraid that the Emperor will follow the same path as the late Emperor, so you dare not stop him!"

The Queen Mother suddenly looked up at Aunt Xu, who looked at her and nodded.

The Queen Mother smiled at Aunt Xu with tears in her eyes, sighed and waved at her, "Zhen'er, you still understand me!"

Nanny Xu walked over and helped the empress dowager back to the couch, then hurried to serve her ginseng tea.

The Queen Mother leaned back on the table again, rubbing her temples and sighing, "At that time, I thought that being alive was better than being dead. Now, seeing Feng Yinde and the Queen walking in front of me one after another, I realize that killing with a blunt knife is no better than killing with a sharp knife..."

Glancing at Aunt Xu handing over the ginseng tea, the Queen Mother sat up straight, took a sip, looked at Aunt Xu hopefully and asked, "Do you think I can get Yi'er's forgiveness in my lifetime?"

Aunt Xu took the teacup and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. As long as you take care of yourself, Queen Mother, we will wait for that day."

"Take care of yourself?" The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid Yi'er won't be able to hold on for much longer."

After a pause, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her hands and beat her chest vigorously, crying, "I deserve to die. How could I be so cruel and obsessed to fight for the Fenglan throne? Yi'er is my own son. How could I be so cruel as to kill him?"

Aunt Xu put down her teacup and hurried over to stop the Queen Mother. "Queen Mother... Queen Mother, please don't be like this. I saw with my own eyes that you always knew how to handle things properly. The Emperor's health is ruined, and it's not all your fault, Queen Mother. It was the Emperor who was so cruel to himself. Queen Mother, please don't blame yourself too much..."

......

The eldest princess's mansion.

Su Yunxuan soon fell into a daze and fell asleep after lying down. However, she did not sleep well, thinking about going back to Jinggu Garden to tell Ye Zixi about leaving Fenglan Capital.

Someone stroked her forehead again. Su Yunxuan frowned slightly and opened her eyes. Su Changfeng's fingers paused on her forehead and his eyes met hers.

"Brother Changfeng hasn't slept yet?" Su Yunxuan asked in surprise.

"Did I wake you up?" Su Changfeng withdrew his hand with an apologetic look on his face.

Su Yunxuan sat up and said, "No, I slept well. It's getting late, I need to go back to Jinggu Garden to tell Zixi about our arrangements."

As she said that, she straightened her clothes a little, smiled at Su Changfeng and said, "I'll go over first, Brother Changfeng, you can sleep for a while."

Su Changfeng got out of bed, "I'll take you there..."

Su Yunxuan stepped over, held him down and said, "No need. We have to rush to Lingshan to meet the princess at 7:00 p.m., Brother Changfeng, you should get some sleep."

Su Changfeng shook his head and was about to say something, but Su Yunxuan leaned over and blocked his words with her lips.

Su Changfeng suddenly froze.

After pecked his lips lightly, Su Yunxuan was about to pull away, but Su Changfeng raised his hands to hug her and deepened the kiss.

When the two were breathing heavily, Ruofeng's voice came from outside, "Sir, the princess sent someone to call you over."
