The two of them talked for a while.

Mrs. Zhou was still hesitant, but her face was obviously more moved.

Mrs. Chang was very happy to see that she was somewhat moved by her words.

The two chatted for a while.

At noon, Du Wanchun and Madam Zhuang brought out the food.

Mrs. Chang stayed for a meal, and before leaving, she told the Third Prince about this method of escaping from the shell.

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince said that he had thought of it a long time ago.

But there was no rush now. He would accompany Mrs. Zhou first, waiting to send Zhou Ruiyuan back to Beijing in the future, and then he would leave the capital and stay by Mrs. Zhou's side forever.

Mrs. Chang felt mixed emotions, a little sad, but also very moved.

At the same time, she was also very envious, envious that her best friend could be treated so lovingly by someone like the prince.

Mrs. Chang said goodbye to them and left. When she returned to the mansion, she wrote a letter to her eldest son in Beijing about the adopted daughter, which was considered as formally recognizing this adopted daughter.

After sending Mrs. Chang away, Aunt Zhou felt much more relaxed. She did not expect that she could reconcile with her, which was also considered as fulfilling her wish.

The Third Prince came to her side, "She probably won't come back to Beijing again, and you will have more time together in the future."

Aunt Zhou looked up at him, thinking about what Mrs. Chang said, and was also sure of one thing.

"Yan Sheng, let's go in."

The Third Prince was stunned when he heard it.

Yan Sheng is his name. Aunt Zhou called him that before she got married.

He was happy and quickly responded, "Ah!"

Aunt Zhou turned and went into the house, preparing to clean up the dishes on the table.

The Third Prince rushed forward and collected the things on the table.

Aunt Zhou looked at his busy appearance and laughed unconsciously.

At the same time, in the palace, Concubine Duan was seriously ill and only had one breath left.

The emperor hurried to her room.

Concubine Duan was pale and finally asked what she had always wanted to ask him, "Have you ever had me in your heart for so many years?"

The emperor did not answer.

Concubine Duan suddenly laughed, "I know you poisoned me."

The emperor was shocked, "You know?"

Concubine Duan coughed a few times and spit out a mouthful of blood, "Yes, I have always known that since you want me to die so much, I will do as you wish."

The emperor panicked.

He always thought that Concubine Duan was just using him, but he didn't expect that Concubine Duan really had feelings for him.

Concubine Duan continued, "I originally wanted to help you choose a suitable prince before leaving, but unfortunately my body couldn't bear it anymore."

The emperor stepped forward and held her hand, "Since you know I poisoned you, why did you still eat it?!"

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "I will give you whatever you want, not to mention a life. Your Majesty, I treat you sincerely. I do so much for your own good."

"Unfortunately, you have never had me in your heart..."

The emperor listened, his body stiffened, and his heart was slightly bitter.

However, he didn't know that Concubine Duan said this just to take advantage of his softness and establish the puppet prince before leaving.

Once the prince is established, send someone to assassinate the emperor, then their Xuanyue country will only have the puppet emperor left, and then the Beidi will be able to attack easily.

She doesn't love the emperor or the previous emperor at all. She is a spy from beginning to end.

The reason why she continued to drink the poison was that she didn't have long to live. She would die if she didn't take it, and she would die if she took it, so she might as well take one last gamble.

Concubine Duan died in the emperor's sad eyes.

The emperor looked at her body and finally shed tears.
