Han Wen spoke seriously, but I found myself increasingly bored. I looked up at Han Wen and said, "I'm tired."
Han Wen was taken aback for a moment, seeming a bit disappointed. I thought for a moment and said, "If you have something to do, go discuss it with your Advisor."
After I finished speaking, I turned and returned to the Inner Palace. Han Wen seemed to want to say something else, but seeing me go back into the Inner Palace, he fell silent.
I closed the door behind me. Outside, Han Wen seemed to still be standing in place. Inside, I fell asleep peacefully.
I wouldn't take Han Wen's words to heart at all. After all, those words had nothing to do with me. Just like I knew autumn was coming. I also knew that the leaves would soon turn yellow. But so what? Those things wouldn't affect my sleep.
In the days that followed, Han Wen continued to follow me. He seemed to want to restore our relationship to how it used to be. However, I didn't care about what Han Wen said; I just continued doing my own things. My daily routine consisted of embroidering flowers and sleeping.
When autumn arrived, Jiang Zhizhu brought a little girl. Han Wen celebrated grandly and announced that he would take the little girl and the Empress to the Autumn Hunt. I knew that Han Wen was preparing to reel in his catch. Nevertheless, I also asked Han Wen to take me along.
Han Wen agreed. She told me this was the last step and hoped I could trust her.
On the night before my departure, I visited Phoenix Palace. When I entered Phoenix Palace, no one stopped me. After the Duan Yang Festival, Phoenix Palace was heavily surrounded by the Imperial Guards, yet they did not hinder my entry.
I met Jiang Zhizhu and her child. The little girl was quiet and rarely smiled. Jiang Zhizhu said to me, "This child is incredibly foolish." She looked at her child and continued, "Han Wen married me just to make me a hostage, to humiliate me." Jiang Zhizhu smiled at me and added, "But she doesn't dare to touch me."
I understood that Jiang Zhizhu had King Shu backing her. Han Wen would not easily move against Jiang Zhizhu unless she was confident she could deal with King Shu. I lowered my gaze and replied, "Hmm."
Jiang Zhizhu looked at me and asked, "Brother, are you really going to leave?" This was the first time in years that Jiang Zhizhu had called me "brother." I looked up at her and said, "Yes."
Jiang Zhizhu frowned and asked, "For what reason?" I thought for a moment and replied, "For no reason." I wanted to leave the palace simply because I wanted to leave.
Jiang Zhizhu fell silent for a moment before saying, "Han Wen has never touched me." She looked at me and added, "Except for that time in the pavilion." I was somewhat surprised and asked, "Hmm?" Jiang Zhizhu looked down at her child and said, "That time, Han Wen was just putting on an act."
Jiang Zhizhu raised an eyebrow and said, "Putting on a show for the entire court to see."
Jiang Zhizhu smiled bitterly and said, "So, do you know how I've managed all this time?"
I shook my head and replied, "I don't know."
Jiang Zhizhu looked at me seriously and said, "Every day I feel like I'm going crazy."
Jiang Zhizhu's calmness felt somewhat eerie to me.
I thought for a moment and said, "You..."
Just as I was about to speak, I was interrupted by Jiang Zhizhu.
Jiang Zhizhu looked at me and said, " Huan, you need to think carefully."
Jiang Zhizhu scoffed and said, "Do you really intend to give up the entire palace for a Han Wen?"
"Hahahahaha, Huan, have you lost your mind?"
I lowered my gaze and replied, "I haven't."
I was telling the truth; I just wanted to leave the palace.
As for the reason, I knew Jiang Zhizhu wouldn't understand.
Jiang Zhizhu looked at me and said, " Huan, just don't regret it later."
Jiang Zhizhu laughed until tears came and said, "Forgetfulness Gu is truly a wonderful thing."
I remained silent, simply watching Jiang Zhizhu.
After a moment, I said to Jiang Zhizhu, "And you should not regret it at the last moment either."
With that, I turned and left Phoenix Palace.
I did not look back, so I naturally did not see Jiang Zhizhu's complex expression.
Yes, I had decided to help King Shu.
