When he lived alone in Ronghua Hall for many years, Cao Han often sent away the maid beside him, and picked up the jade Ruyi that was hidden in the deepest part of his makeup by himself countless times.

The warm whole piece of Hetian jade, the whole body is carved into the auspicious lines of the dragon and the phoenix, but there is obvious damage at the place where the dragon and the phoenix meet, and the whole well-made jade Ruyi is destroyed.

But she seemed to be particularly fond of the ruined place, and would stroke it over and over again every time.

In a trance, her father's helpless sigh sounded in her ears again - "Ah Han, are you ...... Really decided? ”

"Yes, my daughter has made up her mind."

"Well, you don't have to. Things have developed to this extent, after all, no one expected it, Your Majesty and Niangniang also said that they would try their best to compensate you, you don't have to wronged yourself......"

"Father." Cao Han raised his head slightly, his body kneeling on the ground was thin but more firm, "Do you really think...... Was it an accident? ”

"Ahma!" Cao Kaiji immediately stopped her and said in a low voice, "There is no evidence, how can you talk nonsense-"

"Father!" Cao Han refused to back down at all, and said firmly, "Although my daughter has no evidence, this incident is too coincidental and outrageous - it is definitely a plot for a long time, and I will definitely ...... after I enter the prince's mansion."

"That's it!" Cao Kaiji stopped her words violently, "That's why you still want to enter the Prince's Mansion?" Do you know that even if you enter the Prince's Mansion now, you will no longer be the crown princess of the Imperial Gift! How are you going to get a foothold in there in the future?! ”

"My daughter is unwilling, it's obviously me who is married to His Royal Highness the Prince, why should I be cheap to the Yong family?" Cao Han bowed to his father in front of him solemnly, and said softly and word by word, "Because of this incident, I don't know how many people outside are waiting to see our Cao family's jokes-"

Cao Kaiji: "......"

Cao Han smiled, and before he could speak again, he straightened up and walked to the carriage outside the door.

As if sensing that her father's gaze behind her was too complicated, she slowly turned her head and said softly, "Father, don't worry, your daughter will never let you down." ”

"It's just this road, only my daughter goes alone."

"...... Empress? The maid Chenyang called her softly, put on a cloak for her, and persuaded, "It's cold, let's go back to the house quickly, today-"

"Today, will His Highness still go to her?" Cao Han didn't stop her movements, nor did he look back at her, just stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the flock of birds flying in the distance, "Huh? ”

"Yes, yes."

Chenyang replied to her words with some trepidation, and said in his heart, even if this Concubine Cao is the most

The person who first made a marriage with His Royal Highness the Prince, after she entered the Prince's Mansion, still failed to get much favor from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - no matter who it was, she failed to snatch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Crown Princess Yongyue.

But fortunately, this Concubine Cao did not complain about the heavens and others, nor did she give up on herself, but waited quietly, waiting for her opportunity.

It is like a moment before a beast pounces on it, quietly dormant, waiting for its own opportunity.

But such a day is inevitably too lonely, so cold that in addition to Chenyang, those maids in the house feel impatient and some want to find another job, but Concubine Cao is still the quiet appearance of indisputable - I can't see that she has any ambitions, let alone any dissatisfaction, only when the few Royal Highnesses of the Crown Prince arrive, can I really feel her sincere joy.

Probably sincerely.

Because she used to be the companion of the eldest princess Zhaoying, after the eldest princess Zhaoying got married, the number of times His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see this concubine Cao also increased significantly, and life gradually improved.

However, just when Chenyang was thinking that their days were about to brighten up, the news suddenly came that the crown princess Yongyue was pregnant.

The crown princess Yongyue is pregnant for three months.

Chenyang didn't know how to describe his master's face when he heard the news...... Pale and hideous, it contains hatred and unwillingness that she doesn't understand, but has always existed in Cao Han's heart.

It's not just ugly anymore.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even terrifying, so frightened that Chenyang, who has followed her since she was a girl, does not even dare to come out of the atmosphere, so she has to quietly accompany her, waiting for her orders.

“...... This is a good thing, and Your Highness should ...... I'm glad I am. Cao Han took a deep breath and tried his best to make his face look normal, "Later, you can go to the warehouse and find some good things to send - remember not to send food and clothing, lest someone catch the wrong place." ”

Chenyang didn't expect her to let go so easily, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to say "yes" and turn around and go to do what she asked.

It's just that when she returned, she just happened to run into Cao Han's conspiracy with another person-

"Can you be sure that this method won't be discovered?"

"You can use your life as a guarantee - unless the medical saint is alive, it is impossible to be recognized......"

"Life? You're a man who lives hard...... Why should Hongu believe you? ”

"Cao Xiangyu is kind below, and the side concubine Niangniang only thinks that she is repaying Cao for saving her life for many years."

Chenyang didn't dare to make a sound, let alone move, for fear of alarming the two people inside, so he only quietly

Stand outside the door and wait for them to finish.

repay Cao Xiang for saving his life......

Unless the healer is reincarnated, it is impossible to be recognized......

Even if Chenyang is not smart and does not react quickly, but when he hears such a conversation, he knows what he is plotting - the pregnancy of the crown princess.

Chenyang sighed silently in his heart, although he felt a little scared, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his young lady doing this.

She's had a really hard time.

First of all, because of an inexplicable mistake, she was forced to become the crown princess by life, and the gap between wife and concubine is not only a world of difference, but even with the Cao family for a while, it has become a laughing stock in the mouths of many families in Shenchu Cangxia City - but this is not the most fatal and main problem.

The days in the Prince's Mansion are too difficult, although it is not a cold and blank eye, but Chenyang can feel it - the original kindness of his young lady and the deep love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been invisibly consumed and weakened.

She has been forced by life for too long, and she has been driven to a dead end.

So when she handed over the bag of unknown things to herself, Chenyang didn't think about refusing at all, and she didn't fear that she might die because of it.

Cao Han lifted his sleeves, raised his hand to pick up the delicate wine jug in front of him, and personally served a glass of wine to the maid who had followed him for many years: "Chenyang, do you regret it?" ”

"The slave has never regretted it." Chenyang lowered his eyes and glanced at the wine glass she handed over, knowing what it was, but there was only some relief left in his heart, "Miss......"

Cao Han looked at her slightly: "Huh? ”

Chenyang smiled, still not very comfortable sitting in front of his young lady in such an unruly manner, quickly got up, knelt down under Cao Han's calm but meaningful gaze, faced her uprightly, and kowtowed heavily.

"What are you doing here?" Cao Han sighed, and some emotions called "reluctance" suddenly appeared in her heart, but she still relented and insisted, "Get up, you ......"

"Miss, the slave understands." Chenyang didn't say much, only knelt up straight, and as a result, she poured the glass of wine for herself, "In this life, the slave maid is fortunate enough to be able to drink a glass of wine that the young lady poured for the slave maid herself." ”

Cao Han: "......"

"Miss, it was you who picked up the slave and maid on the street and brought her home, and gave the slave and maid such a life without worrying about food and clothing." Chenyang smiled lightly, drank the clear wine in the glass, turned the glass upside down and showed it to her, and said, "In the heart of the slave, Miss is the kindest person in the world...... Mademoiselle must deserve the best of everything. ”

Cao Han was a little unbearable by her

, frowned and said, "Chenyang, you ......"

"Slaves and maids understand, slaves and maids understand...... Chenyang also frowned because of the pain that suddenly appeared in his body, bowed down in pain, and vomited a mouthful of blood, "Slave and maid...... I wanted to be by Miss's side all the time...... Just now...... But I can't. ”

It wasn't until Chenyang lay on the ground, motionless and already dead, that Cao Han slowly stood up, leaned down gently in front of Chenyang's corpse, and reached out to close her eyes.

"Thank you for your company...... Cao Han said softly, "...... I'm the only one left. ”

Perhaps, she was only one person from beginning to end.

When Cao Han happily changed into the auspicious dress of the canonized queen, she was told that "Your Majesty has important matters to deal with today, and the queen mother and the minister of rites will preside over the ceremony after the canonization", she suddenly had such an idea.

She always felt that she had been let down - she was sincere to Chu Zhaoying when she was young, but she was always excluded by her and Jinluan; He and Chu Zhaoxi made a marriage, but they inexplicably fulfilled Yongyue, and even lost the heart of their husband; After Chu Zhaoying got married, probably because of her insignificant past friendship with Chu Zhaoying, Chu Zhaoxi's attitude towards her gradually became warmer, but at this time, Yongyue's pregnancy broke all her dreams; When she got her wish and overthrew Yongyue and won the queen's throne, she found that there was no one around her who could really be happy for herself.

There was no one left.

His father, who loved him, had died of illness and had given his life for this unworthy king and country; The handmaiden who was faithful to himself had long since died, or had been killed by her own hands when she had squeezed out the last of her usefulness; Even Yongyue, who was opposed to him, had been buried in the imperial mausoleum.

She finally stood in this noble position, and finally recaptured these things that should have belonged to her.

However, she is still alone after all.

I thought it should be a spring breeze, but in the end it was just a lonely shadow - Cao Han closed his eyes, raised his proper smile again, and walked out of the hall gently with grand music.

Today, it's her post-sealing ceremony.
