But soon, she regained her composure. " Huan, I will go see Zhiwei first and come back to see you later."
"Your Majesty, please take care."
Han Wen took a few steps away but then turned back gently and embraced me. " Huan, don't worry. Once the Breeding Gu is ready, you can forget all these unhappy things, and we can start anew."
I closed my eyes, nestled in her embrace, and did not respond.
Han Wen said nothing more, just gently patted my back to comfort me.
I don't know how long it was before the Court Lady urged again, "Your Majesty, the Empress is still waiting for you."
Han Wen finally released me and said softly, " Huan, I must go now."
"Your Majesty, please take care."
This time, Han Wen did not linger.
I watched her departing figure with a bittersweet smile on my lips.
Forget all of this?
If only I could, I truly wish I could forget everything.
After Han Wen left, Biqiong came in. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
I shook my head. "Biqiong, I'm fine."
I lowered my gaze at the tea in my cup and couldn't help but get lost in thought.
When did Han Wen and Jiang Zhizhu become involved?
When did they start doing those things behind my back?
The next day.
Han Wen did not come.
Biqiong said that Jiang Zhizhu was unwell and that Han Wen stayed in the palace to take care of him.
I absentmindedly nodded and continued to drink tea.
Before I finished my cup of tea, the Court Lady walked in.
She bowed to me and said, "Consort Chen, His Majesty wants you to think carefully."
"As long as you understand, let her know anytime."
I nodded in agreement.
"Good."
The Court Lady left.
Biqiong leaned closer, looking at me with a worried expression.
"Your Highness, are you really going to help Her Majesty the Empress Breeding Gu?"
I gently tapped the table and replied softly, "Of course."
"After all, he is my brother."
Biqiong furrowed her brows and asked me in confusion, "But Your Highness, can you really bear to part with His Majesty?"
At her words, I was taken aback.
Can I bear it?
Naturally, I can.
After all, she no longer likes me.
Taking a deep breath, I suppressed the bitterness inside me.
I looked up at Biqiong and said softly, "You go tell His Majesty."
"Just say that I've come to understand."
"I will meet with the shaman tomorrow."
"I want to start over."
Biqiong's eyes turned red.
She nodded and choked out, "Yes, I will go right away."
After Biqiong left, I sat on the soft couch, staring blankly at the door frame.
I stared for a long time until my eyes grew tired before finally looking away.
Han Wen, we have been together for ten years.
It is time to end this.
In the evening, Han Wen arrived. She looked at me with excitement, her eyes full of smiles.
She said, " Huan, have you come to a realization?"
I nodded, staring at her for a moment before smiling.
"Yes."
"I have figured it out."
"I want to start over."
Han Wen hugged me and softly said, " Huan, don't worry."
"The Gu Worm is already in the capital."
"Tomorrow morning, I will have the shaman enter the palace."
When the Gu Worm was brought to me, I was having breakfast.
Han Wen walked in with the shaman, her face filled with excitement as she looked at me.
" Huan, the Gu Worm has arrived."
"Let's begin."
I stared at her for a long time and then slowly smiled.
"Okay."
The shaman approached me holding the Gu Worm. She said gravely, "Consort Chen, just endure it."
I focused on the Gu Worm in her hand, feeling a wave of nausea in my stomach.
Since childhood, I have always been afraid of bugs.
But now, I had to swallow the Gu Worm whole.
I closed my eyes and forced down the disgust and fear rising from within me.
"Okay."
