Mother furrowed her brows and said displeased, "Jiang Huan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Who treats you as a pawn?"
"If you were a pawn, how could you have lived until now?"
"If you were a pawn, could Han Wen have made you Consort Chan?"
"Mother, you are not me."
"How do you know I want to be Consort Chan?"
"Jiang Huan, what do you mean by that?"
"Once you become Consort Chan, you will be above everyone else."
"What more could you possibly want?"
"Mother, there is nothing I want."
"I just don't want it anymore."
Mother furrowed her brows again and said displeased, "Don't want it?"
"Jiang Huan, what are you rambling about?"
"Mother, I am very clear-headed."
"I know what I want."
"Mother, I hope you can help me."
Mother sneered coldly and disdainfully said, "Help you?"
"Jiang Huan, don't even think about it."
"Jiang Huan, you'd better behave yourself."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Mother, are you threatening me?"
Mother sneered coldly and disdainfully replied, "So what if I am?"
"Jiang Huan, what can you do to me?"
"Mother, I truly cannot do anything to you."
"But Mother, what if I die?"
At my words, her expression changed dramatically.
She looked up at me, incredulously asking, "Jiang Huan, what do you mean?"
"Mother, I know exactly what I'm saying."
"Mother, if my death could exchange for my freedom,"
"then I think it would be worth it."
Upon hearing this, my mother's face turned grim.
She looked at me, gritting her teeth as she said, "Jiang Huan, how dare you threaten me?"
"Mother, I'm not threatening you."
"I'm simply telling you my decision."
My mother furrowed her brows and asked sharply, "Jiang Huan, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Mother, I don't want to do anything."
"I just want to leave the palace."
My mother was furious, her face turning pale.
She looked at me and said through clenched teeth, "Jiang Huan, are you out of your mind?"
"Do you know what will happen if someone discovers you're not in the palace?"
"What the the Jiang Family will face?"
"Mother, I am fully aware."
"But what does that have to do with me?"
My mother looked at me coldly and asked, "Jiang Huan, are you really going to leave the palace?"
I raised my gaze to meet hers and smiled faintly.
"Yes."
"Mother, I hope you can help me."
Mother was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Jiang Huan, do you know..."
"If I help you, how great the risk will be?"
"Mother, I know."
"But I have no other choice."
Mother said disdainfully, "Jiang Huan, you are gambling."
I raised my eyes to look at Mother and smiled.
"Yes."
"Mother, I am indeed gambling."
"Mother, you only have two choices."
"To help or not to help."
Upon hearing this, Mother coldly asked, "Jiang Huan, why are you so sure that I will help you?"
"Mother, because I know your secret."
Mother's expression changed drastically. She looked at me and coldly asked, "Jiang Huan, what do you mean?"
I looked at Mother and smiled.
"Mother, when the Empress was deposed, why did you marry Elder Brother to King Shu?"
Upon hearing this, Mother's face turned very ugly.
She coldly asked, "Jiang Huan, what are you trying to say?"
"Mother, you know."
"When the Empress was deposed, there must have been someone behind the scenes."
"Mother, you have always been clever."
"How could you not know that the Empress was wronged?"
Mother coldly asked, "Jiang Huan, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Mother, back then when the Empress was deposed, you must have been involved as well, right?"
