ost exhausted his internal energy to heal her wounds, this kindness she would never forget."Ge'er, it's alright. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. I'll just take a breather and I'll be..."Miss..." Qing Luo was moved beyond words.

"Alright, you're all grown up now, don't cry, crying won't make you pretty." Xiao Yuge gently wiped away the tears on her face, thinking about her past life, she had implicated Qing Luo to death. This life, she would do anything to protect Qing Luo.

"Miss, please be back early. Your servant will make your favorite rainbow pastry." Qing Luo smiled and wiped away the tears from her face. She felt that she must have cultivated good fortune in her past life to meet such a kind mistress as her current one. Therefore, this lifetime, she would treat her mistress even better, hoping that in her next life, she could still be with her mistress.

"Well, I'm off."

The Prince's Mansion.

"Song'er" Qian Sichin had never dreamed that Song'er would take the initiative to find him. The moment he saw her, he was overjoyed.

"Take me to the palace, I want to see the emperor!" Xiao Yuge knew that the emperor's target was her, so even though she knew it was a trap, she had to go.

"You want to see your father" Qian Sichin wasn't quite sure.

"Will you take me in with you If not, I'll go in myself!" Although trespassing the palace was a death sentence, she gambled that the emperor wouldn't kill her. However, doing so would drag those around her into trouble.

"Alright, alright, don't be impulsive. I'll take you there." Qian Sichin sighed: "Ge'er, you are taking advantage of my love for you, knowing that I can't refuse you." Let alone going to see the emperor, even if it was going to hell, he would go too.

Xiao Yu Ge pursed her lips and remained silent: If she didn't have this advantage, she wouldn't come to him!

In her past life, she was completely devoted to him, but he discarded her like trash. This time around, it was his turn to taste the agony of being torn apart by love – just a little bit to see how it felt. If she had the chance, she would also like to see him go mad for love, and then tell him why she did what she did.

Inside the Yongxin Palace.

"My dear Ge'er, I heard you wanted to see me. Is there something on your mind" A smile played on the Emperor's lips as he saw Ge'er arrive, as if everything was under his control.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, do your previous words still stand" Xiao Yuge secretly frowned: If she were to beat the emperor innocent, she would definitely go up and give him a good beating, letting him stay here pretending!

"I am the Son of Heaven, my word is law. Whatever I say is final!"

"That's good then!" Xiao Yuge said, slowly taking out the imperial pardon from her body that had been given to her by the Emperor that day.

"Ge'er, what are you doing" The Emperor's smile was almost uncontrollable, but he still pretended to be serious.

"Your Majesty, when you bestowed this amulet upon me, you promised that I could use it to save my father's life one day! Does that promise still stand"

"With a golden amulet of invincibility in your possession, everything naturally falls into place!" The Emperor declared almost without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yuge didn't expect him to agree so readily, but his next words made Xiao Yuge even want to kill him.

"However, Ge'er, when I bestowed upon you the golden amulet of pardon that day, I only said it would grant you one pardon, but I never said it could grant a second..."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty" Xiao Yuge frowned, as expected, she knew this old fox wouldn't let her off so easily.

"Ge'er, what I mean is, I can let him go this time, or I can arrest him again. Next time, Ge'er, how will you save him You should know that you are the daughter of good fortune, and I won't let you leave Lan Zhao easily. But if you insist on leaving, then I will have to take some measures." The Emperor no longer hid his intentions.

“So, all of this was Your Majesty’s doing” Xiao Yuge had guessed it a long time ago, but she didn’t expect the emperor to admit it.

"Ge'er, you are still so clever, but unfortunately, this time, you are destined to lose!"

"Your Majesty, what would you have me do" Xiao Yu Ge pursed her lips. Since she had come, there was nothing more for her to fear.

"I can agree to release the Chancellor and even reinstate him. However, I want you to plead with me in front of him, begging for forgiveness for Xiao Yufu and asking me to issue an edict stating that because she is unable to bear children, I should bestow her upon the Crown Prince as a concubine!" That Xiao Yufu was such a nuisance, always causing trouble. This was a chance to get rid of the problem once and for all. After all, she's just a concubine; she wouldn't cause any major waves.

"What" Xiao Yuge was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why the emperor would do this.

"Xiao Yuge, do you agree or disagree" The Emperor's face was as calm as ever, because he knew Xiao Yuge would never refuse.

After much deliberation, Xiao Yuge finally gritted her teeth and agreed: "Alright, I agree!"

“Good! Gē'er, I told you so, with your intelligence, you wouldn’t make a wrong decision!” The emperor immediately ordered to release Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yu Fu.

“The guilty subject thanks Your Majesty for your mercy!”

Soon after, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yu Fu both arrived at the Nourishing Heart Palace to thank the Emperor.

“Xiao Aiqing, you shouldn't be thanking me. You should be thanking Ge’er! You raised a good daughter! It was she who pleaded for the pardon that saved both your and her lives.” The Emperor's smile held a hint of mystery.

"Song..." Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yu Ge with eyes full of gratitude.

Only Xiao Yu Ge knew how grateful he was at this moment, and how much he would hate her later. It could be said that what comes will come, since he couldn't escape it, then face it calmly.

"Ge'er, weren't you just saying you had something else to tell me What is it" Seeing that Xiao Yuge hesitated to speak, the Emperor urged her.

Xiao Yu Ge sighed resignedly: "Your Majesty, there is one more request from your servant girl. My elder sister has been infatuated with the Crown Prince for many years, and I beg Your Majesty to fulfill my sister's devotion..."

The Emperor let out a hum, nodding his head. "Ge'er, your current identity is that of the high priestess of Tianzhu. The two nations have always been on good terms. Since you've spoken up, this emperor can't refuse. So, according to your opinion, what title should be bestowed upon Xiao Yufu"

Xiao Yu's heart was filled with excitement. Just a moment ago, she was a prisoner accused of treason, but now she was about to marry her beloved Si Chen. It all felt like a dream, so unreal. She knew Ge Er didn't like Qian Si Chen, and she thought that because of their sisterly bond, Ge Er would beg the Emperor to make her the Crown Princess. She thought...

But, it was all just in her imagination!

Next, Xiao Yuge's words directly left her dumbfounded, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician previously stated that my elder sister is unwell and unable to bear children. If she were to become the Crown Princess, wouldn't that be a laughingstock Considering my sister's deep affection for the Crown Prince, I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and bestow my sister upon the Crown Prince as a concubine!"

As soon as these words left her mouth, even Xiao Zhan, who had been filled with gratitude for Xiao Yuge just moments ago, was stunned. He couldn't believe that these words were coming from her.e so surprised. Could it be that you really know the master of Thunder Pavilion" Qian Tingxuan could tell from her eyes that this little girl was probably thinking about the scene at Hongxiu Mountain...
