"Queen, kill the queen!"

With Zhen Huan's frightened and sharp eyes, I can't hold it anymore:

"I'm sorry, your peaceful life was ruined by me."

Before I could finish my words, I slowly fell down. I wanted to eat another bitter almond, but I knocked it over, just like my unsatisfactory life.

Zhen Huan had everything, but in the end, I had nothing. Even this plate of bitter almonds that was within my reach was scattered.

I can't grasp it, I can't pick it up. I have nothing, because I don't deserve it.

Almonds are bitter, but not as bitter as my life. I have quietly become a stepping stone for others, and have lived a silent life. I am unwilling to accept this.

These bitter almonds are delicious. After staying in the palace for a long time, the bitter almonds also taste sweet.

Zhen Huan was just as noble and beautiful as before. She turned and left without saying a word, leaving behind a resolute back, unwilling to look at me even once.

In the end, they didn’t even give me cold rice as alms.

In this harem, how can there be any sincerity?

Ultimately, I still resent you the most, Zhen Huan. All that is in the past is gone. I only hope that in my next life, I can stand above you and look down upon you.

"I've never had control over my own breath and my life, but today I can finally take control of it."

I slowly closed my eyes, a long-lost smile forming on the corner of my mouth. It was a sense of ease and relief I had never experienced in my life.

I felt like I was lying on the clouds, watching the bright sunshine penetrate the clouds. I once thought that I would never see such good sunshine again.

In the sunlight, I seemed to see my mother.

She was as young and beautiful as ever. Her eyes were clear now, not damaged by the heat of the night. She was embroidering in the sunshine, humming a light tune:

"Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, and the lotus leaves are so lush..."

I know that at this moment, my mother and I have met in heaven.

"Mother..."

I called her softly and took some steps. I wanted to hug her, because she was the only person in the world who had truly loved me and cared about me.

My mother heard my call, raised her head, and smiled at me without any surprise, as if she had been waiting for me for a long time.

She picked up the silk that was being embroidered, tied a knot with the remaining thread, then slightly opened her red lips, revealing her white teeth, and bit it lightly. The thread broke, and the last stitch of the embroidery was completed.

I wanted to run towards her eagerly, but found that even though she was right next to me, she seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and I could not reach her no matter what.

"Mother! Mother! Mother..."

Just now when I was in this world and was about to die, I could still face it with a smile, but now my tears are like broken beads.

Mother, she is the only person who can make me take off all the masks and defenses and show my true self.

"Rong'er, my dear daughter, are you tired?"

My mother's voice was gentle and loving.

When my father An Bihuai was alive, he would always ask me whether I had been favored or promoted whenever we corresponded.

Only my mother cared about whether I was tired or not. But I couldn't say a word at this moment. I could only listen to my mother continue to talk with tears in my eyes:

"Rong'er, mother knows that you have unfulfilled wishes. Mother loves you and cherishes you. I hope you can truly be yourself, just like how mother donated an official position to your father to fulfill his wish. Mother cannot accompany you, so she can only wait for you here."

As she spoke, my mother raised her hands, and the silk piece slowly emitted a pink light, floating in front of my eyes and stopping. I couldn't help but stretch out my hands to catch it.

"Then let it accompany you. Go and fulfill all your unfulfilled wishes. Mother is waiting for you here. Next time, I want to see you come here happily and happily, without any regrets..."

Mom! Where are you going?!

I was finally able to shout. But after she finished her last words, my mother gradually disappeared like smoke.

At this moment, the silk in her hand was still emitting a faint pink light.

This is what my mother gave me, how could I bear to use it? I wiped the tears from my face with my sleeve, wiped my hands on my clothes, and carefully opened the silk.

My mother is an embroiderer with excellent skills in Suzhou. I want to see what is displayed inside.

As soon as I lifted up the white corner of the silk, a ball of fluorescent pink light appeared.

what is this?

The pink fluorescent ball leaped in front of me and stopped mid-air. I looked closely and saw that it was actually an oleander flower.

"Hello, An Lingrong. I am your personal AI elf. You can call me Oleander Elf."
