Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Dongling Imperial Palace, Yilan Hall.

The bright moon in the sky is like a bright pearl, casting a clear light.

Chu Yuncang, carrying a wine jar and a food box, slowly pushed open the gate of Yilan Palace.

Looking up, the courtyard is full of lush trees, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, pavilions, corridors, bridges, rockery and green bamboo. Everything is in order, as if it were the same in the past, but the scenery remains the same, but the people are gone.

Chu Yuncang slowly walked into the courtyard and sat down at a stone table. He took out a plate of Ruyi cakes and a plate of osmanthus cakes from the food box, and then picked up the wine jar and poured two cups of osmanthus wine.

Chu Yuncang picked up a cup and sipped slowly. The wine was mellow and sweet, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus bloomed leisurely in his mouth.

He faced the bright moon and whispered softly, "Mother, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I am here to accompany you to admire the moon."

"I know that the palace holds a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet every year. Every time on this day, there is a lot of noise and commotion everywhere. Even our remote Yilan Palace can't be quiet. Those annoying people like to spread rumors at the palace banquet. Queen Mother hates such a Mid-Autumn Festival the most."

Chu Yuncang picked up a piece of Ruyi Cake and put it in his mouth to savor it carefully, and whispered: "Your son knows that the Mid-Autumn Festival that your mother envisioned is for you and your son to sit in the courtyard like this, drinking osmanthus wine, eating Ruyi Cake, and quietly appreciating the moon."

A faint smile curved his lips. "Now, my mother's wish has finally come true. The palace is unusually quiet this Mid-Autumn Festival. Because my fourth brother passed away a few days ago, we are in mourning now. My father is in a bad mood and has no intention of hosting any banquets."

He lifted his own wine cup and gently touched it to the other, saying softly, "Mother, I have met a unique girl. I want to be with her forever. I'm sure you will like her too..."

"Rustle~" A burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Chu Yuncang stopped muttering, he looked up and saw Emperor Yingtian walking towards him quickly with an anxious look on his face, stepping on the clear light on the ground.

Chu Yuncang's eyes turned cold, and he said secretly: "Mother, the person you least want to see is here..."

Emperor Yingtian saw Chu Yuncang drinking alone in the moonlight, and a look of deep disappointment instantly crossed his face. Just now, when he saw the door to Yilan Palace wide open, he couldn't wait to walk in, hoping to see Qin'er waiting for him in the moonlight again...

Emperor Yingtian sat down on the stone bench. He picked up the other wine cup and drank it all. After a moment, he whispered, "It's osmanthus wine, Qin'er's favorite wine. I didn't expect Cang'er to still remember it!"

Chu Yuncang had already drunk several cups of osmanthus wine. Although it wasn't intoxicating, in this remote residence where his mother had once lived, under the bright moonlight, Chu Yuncang couldn't help but feel a little angry at being disturbed. He said calmly, "Of course I remember. I remember everything about my mother."

He turned to look at Emperor Yingtian, his tone calm, but with a hint of revenge in his heart: "I remember sitting in my mother's arms, and the longing and loneliness in her eyes when she told me the wonderful stories outside the palace in vivid detail. I remember that she often stared blankly at the high palace walls, and I remember her silently sobbing in the dead of night..."

Emperor Yingtian's face instantly lost its color. Chu Yuncang's words cut through his heart. After moving to Yilan Palace, Qin'er always looked calm and peaceful whenever she saw him. He thought Qin'er was very peaceful and happy here!

Chu Yuncang lost himself in memories, his voice unconsciously turning colder: "I remember one time when my father suddenly came to visit late at night, and my mother was forced to greet her. The next day, my mother became depressed and unhappy."

Emperor Yingtian was also brought back to his memories by Chu Yuncang's words. That time, he drank some wine, and when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he thought of Qin'er who had been cold and indifferent to him since the witchcraft case. He was so upset that he ran to Yilan Palace late at night and forced Qin'er. After he sobered up, he was filled with remorse, but he didn't know how to ask for Qin'er's forgiveness.

It was also during that time that Qin'er became pregnant with Xuan'er. He later gave Xuan'er the name "Fu'an", hoping that her beginning might be a mistake, but she would be happy and healthy in the end.

Chu Yuncang thought of Empress Yao's passing, and his voice grew even colder as he spoke, "I remember how Mother was suddenly bedridden due to a minor cold. I remember how quickly she weakened and became terminally ill. I remember how she closed her eyes unwillingly."

"I know that my mother is actually just like Aunt Jiang, and she met the wrong person. If they could live their lives over again, they would definitely choose to live differently!"

Emperor Yingtian's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had been hit by a slap in the face. He pointed at Chu Yuncang with trembling hands and said, "You, you, you are talking nonsense. Qin'er and I are a match made in heaven. She is the love of my life. Even if I had to do it all over again, she would still be my queen..."

Chu Yuncang seemed to have heard a huge joke and said coldly, "A match made in heaven? A lifelong love? Father clearly knew that there was something fishy about Mother's death and who was responsible, yet Father pretended to turn a blind eye and did nothing!"

"Your Majesty, Father, thought he had made up for all his debts to Queen Mother by helping me ascend to the throne of Crown Prince. Your Majesty, Father, thought that by showing a different level of tolerance towards your son, he was expressing his deep affection for Queen Mother! But, is this what Your Majesty truly desires? Is this what Queen Mother wants?"

Emperor Yingtian froze there, as if struck by lightning. The numbness spread from his head to his toes, making him unable to move. Only his restless heart was beating wildly in his chest.

Chu Yuncang took advantage of the alcohol to pour out the pent-up anger in his heart, and only then did he feel a little panic. Although his father was no longer in control of the overall situation like he was when he was young, he still held great power and it would be easy for him to crush him.

Thinking of the revenge he had yet to avenge for his mother, and thinking of Xie Qingli, Chu Yuncang knelt before Emperor Yingtian and said softly, "Father, I missed my mother so much today that I drank too much and blurted out the words that have been weighing on my mind for over a decade. What I said is what I felt in my heart. I know I have overstepped my bounds today. I acknowledge my guilt and beg for your punishment!"

Emperor Yingtian looked up at the courtyard where the scenery remained unchanged, and looked at Chu Yuncang who was kneeling at his feet, and smiled sadly. Everything Cang'er said was true. How could he punish her son for telling the truth in Qin'er's yard?

He waved his hand and said dejectedly, "Cang'er, get up! You were just drunk and said a few drunken words. Father, I'm acquitting Cang'er, but you must not do it again next time!"

Chu Yuncang hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude! He stood up from the ground, only to see Emperor Yingtian already walking out, his steps staggering, his back desolate!

Chu Yuncang's eyes darkened. He despised what his father had done to his mother, but he often took advantage of his father's deep affection for his mother, just like this time tonight.

He is as despicable and shameless as his father. What qualifications does he have to laugh at his father?

Chu Yuncang picked up the jar of wine on the table and poured it directly into his mouth. Xie Qingli's figure flashed in his mind, and he wanted to see her immediately.

Chu Yuncang carried the wine jar, climbed over the wall and left Yilan Palace, quickly heading out of the palace...
