Consort Chen had completely lost her mind.
Every day, she went mad in the Cold Palace, claiming to be the Empress.
The Emperor hated Consort Chen to the core.
He had personally devised a revenge plan against her for six years.
He wanted her to witness her loved ones die one by one.
That feeling would hurt her more than killing her!
On Consort Chen's birthday, the Emperor visited the Cold Palace.
Everyone in the palace was shocked.
The Emperor hadn't been to the Cold Palace in ten years!
Curiosity filled the air.
Unfortunately, they would never know the answer.
Because both the Emperor and Consort Chen perished that day.
That night, Jing An successfully ascended the throne.
And I became the Empress Dowager.
After Jing An's ascension, I arranged marriages for Mu Wan and Jing Lin'an.
I continued to raise them.
Meanwhile, Jing An began selecting palace maidens.
He married the daughter of a General as his Empress and the daughter of a Chancellor as his Noble Consort.
In the tenth year of Jing An's reign, Mu Yao and the Prince Consort welcomed their first child.
As new parents, they often came to ask me how to raise a child.
In the fourteenth year of Jing An's reign, Jing Lin'an had a daughter named Xin Yue.
I arranged a marriage for him as well.
On the same day, the Empress and Noble Consort each gave birth to a princess.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jing An's reign, I turned sixty years old.
Many elderly people came to visit me.
They reminisced about the past, recounting tales from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Two years ago, I brought back the Second Prince, Jing Xuan, who had been abandoned in the Cold Palace.
He was quiet and rarely spoke.
At first, everyone looked down on him.
But he was undeniably handsome, and people couldn't help but steal glances at him.
Jing An didn't mind having this brother.
In fact, she often chatted with him.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Jing Xuan was a good child.
He didn't hold a grudge against us for abandoning him all those years.
Instead, he cherished his current life.
Gradually, he opened up in the palace and formed a harmonious relationship with Jing An and Jing Lin'an.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
Six months later, Jing Xuan took his own life.
I didn't understand why he chose to end it all.
But I knew he must have had his reasons.
I didn't ask him about it.
Instead, I continued to raise the four children in the palace.
Occasionally, I would think back on the past.
But most of the time, I was quite happy.
After all, I had four lovely children by my side.
I was content with this life.
In the blink of an eye, it was my Eightieth Birthday.
Everyone had come to celebrate this special day with me.
I smiled at them and said, "Thank you all."
"I hope you can live well in the future."
"Don't end up like me, trapped in this cursed place."
Laughter erupted among them. "Your Highness, don't say such things."
I shook my head. "I'm not joking."
"I really want to go home."
"I want to return to the modern world."
The smiles on their faces gradually faded.
"Your Highness..."
I smiled softly. "It's okay."
"Throughout life, one is always searching for the way back home."
"I'm just feeling a bit homesick."
"I long to return to the world that belongs to me."
A long silence fell over us.
Finally, Mu Yao spoke softly, "Your Highness, we will always be here for you."
I smiled again. "Thank you all."
"But you each have your own lives to lead."
"You can't stay with me forever."
Mu Yao's eyes turned red. "Your Highness..."
I waved my hand. "Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Today is my birthday; we should be a little happier."
Everyone nodded, forcing smiles as they celebrated my birthday.
After the celebration ended, I returned to my chamber to rest.
I had a dream.
In the dream, I saw the Empress.
She was still as stunningly beautiful as ever.
She looked at me with a smile and said, "Jiang Lili, you’ve worked hard."
My eyes turned red. "Your Majesty..."
The Empress smiled and said, "You have done enough."
"Now, it’s time for you to go home."
I nodded. "Yes!"
"Your Majesty, I will miss you."
The Empress smiled and said, "Jiang Lili, remember this."
"No matter where you are, you must be happy."
"You are the best!"
I smiled and nodded. "Yes!"
