Yu Yan didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who was willing to die with him, until she came back with rat poison in her hand.

She swallowed it in front of him, then sat back down beside him quietly. While waiting for the poison to take effect, she smiled and said,

I'm going home and not playing anymore. I won't come here even if I die and start over.

He really thought she was stupid. He watched her as the poison took effect, her face turned pale, she spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and curled up on the ground. She must be close to death.

When he reacted, he was already carrying her towards the Imperial Hospital, but he was too thin and weak, and before they had run far, they both fell to the ground, and she vomited a mouthful of blood again.

His wrist was bleeding, staining the road red. He had no strength left and could only look up at her. This crazy woman was still laughing.

"Lin Xuejian", who smiles all day long, is actually not living a happy life. She does not live like herself. In this deep palace with strict rules, what is the difference between her and a prisoner?

She thought it was a relief.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in a clean room with the wound on his wrist bandaged. Yu Zhaoyi knew he was awake, so she rushed over desperately and slapped him.

Her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried. She said that if Xuejian died, she would let him be buried with her.

Fine, let's die together. He stayed by her side all night, and finally, she woke up. The first time she saw him, she smiled.

Yu Yan, we meet again.

If we fail to go home, then let’s live well together, Yu Yan.

------

The next morning, when Fu Yuan'er opened her eyes, she saw Yu Yan's face right in front of her. She could even clearly see the small mole on the top of his nose.

Yu Yan also opened his eyes. He had slept on the bed all night. When he moved, his body made a creaking sound.

He regained his usual dignified demeanor, no longer as crazy as yesterday. "Wash up, I'll take you somewhere."

Fu Yuan'er also wanted to find out the truth. She stood up and found that the wound on her thigh had been bandaged. Thinking of some scenes from last night, her face turned red again.

Coming out of Sukun's residence, Nannan and Miaomiao were kneeling at the door, looking inside eagerly. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the goddess and the Nine Thousand Year Old Man sitting together on a black lacquered sedan chair with gold cloud patterns.

At least I'm still alive.

Fu Yuan'er called them back to the Goddess Palace with concern, but they stubbornly followed behind her and refused to leave.

She was a little anxious because she was afraid that Yu Yan would be unhappy, but she heard him say calmly: "They are two loyal ones."

The person Yu Yan took her to see was the former Concubine Yu, later Empress Anxian, and now Empress Dowager Yongxian.

She witnessed them all.

Empress Dowager Yongxian had been waiting in the conference hall long ago. Yu Yan had just sent someone to deliver a memorial, saying that he would bring his beloved with him.

Yu Yan's true love is Lin Xuejian.

She's back? Really back? Empress Dowager Yongxian couldn't believe it, her hands trembling as she picked up the teacup.

When the palace maid came to inform her that Yu Yan had arrived, she even stood up and went to the door to greet him.

Hmm? Isn't the person next to Yu Yan the newly crowned goddess?

Although she was wearing a veil, Empress Dowager Yongxian still remembered that she had seen her from afar at the succession ceremony. At that time, she felt that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xuejian.

When Fu Yuan'er took off her veil, Empress Dowager Yongxian's reaction said it all. She completely believed everything Yu Yan said.

She didn't think Yu Yan could convince the Queen Mother to conspire to deceive her. What was her goal?

Empress Dowager Yongxian's eyes instantly turned red. She tried hard to restrain herself, called away all the palace servants, and then she couldn't help but hug Fu Yuan'er.

"After all these years, your appearance hasn't changed at all." Empress Dowager Yongxian touched her face again with trembling hands. Looking closely, she still looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, but she was slowly getting older.

Queen Mother Yongxian was not surprised to learn that she had lost her memory. "When you first came here, you didn't even remember your own name."

Therefore, Fu Yuan'er should not be her real name.

Empress Dowager Yongxian pulled her over, sat intimately on the bench, held her hand, and told her about the past with tears in her eyes, just like she used to.

Yu Yan stood beside her, listening quietly, his eyes never leaving her. It was a story that belonged only to them.

"Sister Xuejian, listen to my sisters' advice. Even if you want to find a partner, you must find someone powerful and influential. That will provide you with some protection in this deep palace."

"That's right, Empress Zhaoyi is in high favor right now, so it won't be difficult to find a good marriage for you. We can't just look at appearance when choosing a partner."

"Yes, although Yu Yan is good-looking, she is just a piece of skin. She has nothing and a bad temper. She can't even protect herself, so how can she protect you..."

Several young palace maids were chattering around "Lin Xuejian". They were sent by Yu Zhaoyi to persuade her, but she simply wouldn't listen.

She was cracking melon seeds in her hand. She was not attracted by Yu Yan's good looks, but by his proud character.

But she didn't want to explain, and only smiled and joked: "Yes, he has no power or influence, and his personality is bad, but his advantage is that he has a beautiful face, so even if he loses his temper, it is still very charming, hehe."

"Don't you think his beauty can offset all his shortcomings?"

Several young palace maids were stunned, sighed, and then relayed the words to Yu Zhaoyi verbatim.

Not only was Yu Zhaoyi furious, but how could the little girl be so shameless? Even Yu Yan, who had overheard, was a little angry. What did she mean by wanting to protect him? She was just a vulgar woman who coveted his skin.

Yu Zhaoyi called her over and said earnestly, "After a while, the emperor will take me with him when he goes to Jiangnan for summer vacation. Then you can go with him and build a relationship with Guard Yao."

Yao Huwei is the third son of Minister Yao. Although he is a concubine's son, he is upright, gentle, and handsome. He has just turned twenty and has not yet married and has children. He is a good match.

Yu Zhaoyi tried to bring the two together several times, both openly and secretly, and Yao Sanlang also expressed his interest in her. He liked the cheerful Lin Xuejian.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuejian asked, "Can we take Yu Yan with us? Maybe he'll like the scenery of Jiangnan."

Yu Zhaoyi was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit her, but she dodged with a smile, "Don't hurt your hands, Your Majesty, I'll hit her myself~" As she said this, she pretended to pat herself on the head twice.

Yu Zhaoyi could only watch her act cute with doting eyes. She thought that no matter what, she had to match the two of them up when she went to Jiangnan.

Yao Sanlang promised her and gave Xuejian the position of his legal wife.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. When she learned that Lin Xuejian committed suicide for Yu Yan, her body swayed and she almost fell.

Along the way, she had already regarded her as her younger sister. In the palace full of calculations, she was the only one who retained a pure heart.

She was angry and distressed. Male beauty can also lead to misleading people! When Yu Yan woke up, she rushed over and slapped him.
