No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Su Peisheng took out a silver pot from the eunuch's tray and said with a smile, "Here it is! This is the latest divine wine. You can't buy it outside!"

He filled the glasses in front of the two people and introduced: "This wine is called Amber Light. The color is like broken gold. It is magnificent."

Saiqi controlled his trembling hands and picked up the wine glass steadily.

He actually understood the deposed prince. He really didn't want to live anymore, but he hoped he could live well.

But how is it possible?

Without him, he would be a walking corpse.

If they cannot live together, then it would be good for them to die together.

The deposed prince didn't understand his look, and their wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp "ding ding" sound.

The two smiled at each other and drank the amber light in the cup together.

"Good wine! Fill it up!" The deposed prince hadn't drunk for many years, and this glass of wine had already made him a little drunk.

Su Peisheng personally filled their glasses again and they continued drinking.

In fact, by this time, the deposed crown prince had already understood something belatedly.

If it wasn't the last meal for execution, why would Su Peisheng, a favorite of the Emperor, condescend to serve them?

It's okay for him to die, but it's a pity for Saiqi.

But now that things have come to this, it would be nice to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

This life is too short, so short that the moment he has himself is only a moment. He hopes there will be an afterlife.

In his next life, he hopes to hold the right person's hand...

Saiqi stared at the deposed prince without taking his eyes off him, but his eyes gradually became blurred.

When his mind faded, his eyes were still full of the person he loved, so... that's fine.

Su Peisheng watched the two men fall down, sighed, took out the fire starter in his hand and blew out the flame.

He walked out slowly, then turned around, threw down the tinder, and turned off the fire inside the door.

"Watch out and pack everything up." Su Peisheng gave some instructions and left the palace in a carriage.

When Lin Mingyan heard that the abandoned crown prince was dead in the palace, she was stunned for a moment: "Didn't they say it was just not good, and there would be some time left?"

"I heard that she was drunk and felt uncomfortable, so she wanted to get up to drink some water, but accidentally knocked over the candle and it caught fire," the Fourth Master held her hand and played with it nonchalantly.

This is obviously an excuse, and the Fourth Master likes to play with her hands whenever he tells a lie.

Lin Mingyan quickly pulled her hand back and glared at him, "Tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Can the palace catch fire?

If it was really the deposed crown prince's mistake that caused the burning of Xian'an Palace, the Fourth Master would be so angry that he would be like a toad.

After all, it was the imperial palace, and it would cost money to repair it after it burned down.

If he were asked to pay so much money, he would be so angry!

The Fourth Master didn't expect that he couldn't deceive her at all, so he could only confess: "This Hesheli Saiqi..."

He explained the situation, and Lin Mingyan's eyes widened: "So, you tested them and sent them away?!"

The Fourth Master nodded and said, "The train is so fast, they must have boarded the ship in Tianjin by now."

"As for where they will go, it all depends on their luck!"

Lin Mingyan looked at him left and right, feeling incredible.

Is this still her suspicious Fourth Master?

Can you let the deposed prince go just because you are moved by someone's sincere feelings?

If she had seen in a novel in her previous life that this was done by Emperor Yongzheng, she would have scolded the author until he cried!

Unexpectedly, he actually did such an outrageous thing!

"Master, you are so nice!" Lin Mingyan praised sincerely.

She used to sneer at true love, but now when she heard about Saiqi's true love, she felt that it was not bad.

Maybe the Fourth Master thought the same way. At least there is such a beautiful feeling in this world.

Under her sparkling eyes, the Fourth Master took a sip of tea, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

In fact, he really thought about letting the two of them go to the underground and become a pair of mandarin ducks, but when he remembered some past events, he changed his mind.

The deposed prince didn't have a bad temper from the beginning. The two brothers used to have their own tacit understanding.

He had been in power for ten years and was no longer afraid of the title of deposed crown prince.

He could even support Hongxi and the others openly, so what's the big deal if he let him go?

This is why Su Peisheng did it in secret.

Regardless of whether outsiders suspected it was an accident or a conspiracy, they at least considered the deposed prince to be dead.

"Since the deposed crown prince is gone, and it wasn't such a tragic death, you can compensate Shi Jiashi," the Fourth Master instructed.

Neither of them had any grudges against Shi Jia, and in fact, Shi Jia had been quite nice to Lin Mingyan before.

But she only gave birth to a little princess in her life, and she died early.

The Fourth Master treated a former Crown Princess who had no bloodline at all with nothing but preferential treatment.

Of course Lin Mingyan had no objection, and turned around to bring Shi Jia over.

When Shi Jia left Xian'an Palace, she could still smell the burnt smell in the yard.

She didn't know that she had just returned to her room to eat, and the deposed prince would end her life so quickly.

But what she knew was that she was finally free in this life.

Shi Jia looked back at the small palace where she had been imprisoned for more than twenty years, and thought to herself that we are even now, and then she walked out of the palace without looking back.

She entered this cage-like palace at the age of sixteen and has never come out since then.

The other sisters-in-law were able to leave the palace and build their own houses, and they could also follow their husbands and go out for fun with the Emperor.

Only she was trapped in that small palace day after day, acting as a well-behaved princess.

Now, I am finally free.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen," Shi Jia entered the Old Summer Palace and saluted Lin Mingyan politely.

She was the Crown Princess for so many years, but in the end it was someone else who ascended the throne of Queen. Most people would feel a little uncomfortable.

But Lin Mingyan didn't see any emotion at all in Shi Jia's eyes.

She immediately offered him a seat without formalities and said with concern, "Second brother's story is so sad. Please accept my condolences, sister-in-law."

No matter how crippled he was, he was still the Fourth Master's brother, so it was right for her to call him Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law.

Shi Jia responded politely, but she didn't actually feel sad at all.

She had anticipated today's outcome and had prepared for it long ago.

Lin Mingyan said a few polite words and then began to ask her opinion: "Now that Xian'an Palace has burned down, it is not appropriate for my second sister-in-law to live there anymore."

"Do you want to go out and live with Hongxi and the others, or do you want to go back to your parents' home?"

Only then did Shi Jia realize that burning the house had another meaning, which allowed her to leave the palace with a legitimate reason.

I owe him this.

She was dazed for a moment and then said, "I heard that the Queen advocates for women's independence, so she doesn't want women to rely on their fathers, brothers, or sons."

"Since I am my own person, I would like to have a separate household for women."
