Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Seeing her silence, he immediately felt bitter in his heart. He came here just to ask her in person why she left him to become the emperor's concubine. Are wealth and glory so important to her?

"Is this palace beautiful?"

Yan Wan didn't answer him and asked him on her own.

Ling Yunche looked down at the snow-soaked blue bricks beneath his feet and muffled his voice, "Your Highness's beauty is beyond the reach of others."

"Compared to the years I spent in Concubine Jia's palace?"

Yan Wan stretched out her hand, and her delicate pink and white fingers touched the vermilion palace wall. She felt a coldness between her fingers, just like her mood at the moment.

She has been getting better and better in the past six months, with slender hands and no longer the battered look she had before.

She looked at her hand, and in her mind she could see Jinzhong carefully applying medicine to her and holding her hand up to take care of it.

"naturally......"

"It's more beautiful, isn't it?"

"But..." You still didn't answer me.

Before he could finish, Yan Wan interrupted him loudly.

"These hands, this face, were once so rough. During all those years in Qixiang Palace, not a single day went by without a beating. These hands got frostbite and burns, day after day, year after year. My face was covered in slaps and pinch marks. You say, servants are bound to be beaten. Just bear with it, and it will be fine. I've endured it for five years, and I don't want to endure it anymore. If you can't give me the wealth, honor, and favor I want, then I'll fight for it myself. Is that wrong?"

Looking at his expression, Yan Wan felt extremely annoyed. If he had taken the banknote and just been a guard, and they had gone their separate ways without further entanglement, then she would have looked up to him.

How come I didn't know before that he was so annoying?

"This palace is full of dangers. Even a wise Concubine Xian couldn't escape the fate of being banished to the cold palace. You are just a little maid. How can you protect yourself?"

Ling Yunche couldn't believe it. He couldn't imagine that the Yan Wan before him was the same innocent girl as before. When had she become like this? Or was he just like this?

Although these words came late, Yan Wan almost laughed out loud. It was her own stupidity that Ruyi was sent to the cold palace. If she were Ruyi, she would have ascended to the throne and conquered all the six palaces. What a different fate for the same person!

"Ling Yunche, you said I've changed, but what about you? Ever since you met Concubine Xian in the cold palace, you've been talking about her all the time. I relied on myself to climb up the ladder of wealth and status, and you relied on Concubine Xian to become a royal guard. You said I've changed, but in reality, there's no difference between us. We're all the same kind of people. What right do you have to blame me? She went to the cold palace because she's incompetent, and since I'm a concubine, I naturally know how to protect myself."

"Besides, why should you interfere in my choice of path? Guard Ling, don't forget that you are only a guard now, and I am the Emperor's concubine. We should not interact with each other in the future. It was thanks to Concubine Xian that you were able to move from the cold palace to the Yangxin Palace. It was not easy! Guard Ling, you should do your job well and don't let the Concubine down."

Her ruthless words pierced Ling Yunche's heart. He couldn't believe that Yan Wan, who had been devoted to him before, would say such a thing.

Since when did she become so greedy?

"Yan Wan, you've changed. Concubine Xian and I only have a supportive relationship. How could it be as unbearable as you say?"

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Ask yourself, is your relationship with her really just a simple one of support? Stop deceiving yourself. Don't let the deception get you into trouble."

"From the beginning to the end, Concubine Xian and I are innocent. Yanwan, you have really changed." Yanwan's harsh words made Ling Yunche feel cold in his heart.

He looked at Yan Wan sadly. After being exposed, a trace of shame and anger appeared on his face. He tried to find a trace of regret on her face.

Hearing this, Yan Wan sneered.

"Oh, if you say so, then so be it. Don't call me by my name in the future, Ling Yunche, why are you still so naive? This is the Forbidden City, it's a place that eats people. If I don't change, I'll be the one who dies. Well, if you don't listen, I have nothing to say to you. From now on, there is no relationship between us. Those feelings should have ended when I became the emperor's concubine." After saying that, Yan Wan turned around and left without paying any attention to him.

She finally understood what it meant to play the lute to a cow, and she felt speechless. There was no point in saying more, so it was better to stay as far away from him as possible.

"In that case, I wish your Majesty all the best and a smooth rise to prominence."

At this point, Ling Yunche knew that there was no turning back and could only bow to her from behind, thus putting an end to their past.

The two of them didn't notice that a familiar figure flashed by in an unknown corner.

He stared at the two of them viciously. Every time he saw Yan Wan smile at Ling Yunche, he became jealous and crazy, and wanted to dig out his eyes with a blunt knife.

Yan Wan can smile at the emperor and at him, but she cannot smile at Ling Yunche.

The figure flashed by, and jealousy burned fiercely under the wind and snow.

He deliberately delayed for a while on the road. Looking at the gate of Yongshou Palace, Jinzhong couldn't help but hesitate.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, you're here? Come in quickly. Did the Emperor send you to find our master?"

Lan Cui was just about to go to the small kitchen to see if the pastries were ready when she saw Jinzhong at the door and called him repeatedly.

Jinzhong arrived at a very coincidental time. When he arrived at Yongshou Palace, Yanwan was sitting by the window practicing calligraphy.

She lowered her head, revealing her slender white neck. She held a small and delicate wolf-hair brush in her hand, and wore the green jade ring on her finger.

The Seventh Prince died not long ago. She was dressed in a plain, aqua-colored Manchu dress with only a few plain velvet flowers in her hair as embellishments and a pair of jade beads on her ears. Apart from that, she had no other decorations, making her look pure and elegant.

As soon as I saw her, most of the jealousy in my heart disappeared.

Seeing that she was busy, Jinzhong watched from the side, looking at her profile, and couldn't help but feel infatuated with her.

Yan Wan rarely played simple music like this since she became a concubine. Jinzhong was reminded of the rainy night when they first met in the Yangxin Palace.

It lacks the pitiful look, but instead has a charming and cute look.

But no matter what, she is beautiful.
