Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

We ourselves are the king. We don’t need to look at anyone’s face or compromise.

Such a thought flashed through Yongji's mind, waiting to take root one day.

It was not until many years later, when Yongqi, who had become a great overlord, recalled the mental journey of that day, that he realized that there were already signs.

In the side room of the Fu Mansion.

Ziwei looked at Dong'er, whose face was red with fever, with heartache, wishing she could bear the pain for him.

"Miss. Madam Fu wants you to come over." Jinsuo looked at the haggard Ziwei with heartache and wanted Ziwei to escape from this quagmire as soon as possible.

Her gentle and lovely lady has now been completely tortured beyond recognition.

But Ziwei insisted, even though she felt distressed, it was of no use.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ziwei's eyes. It seemed that Erkang was sick again.

Only at this time would Fu Jin think of her.

She didn't dare to take care of Falkang, fearing that he would go crazy and hurt herself, and she was also worried that Falkang would get hurt, so she always asked Ziwei, who was weak and helpless, to take care of Falkang.

Ziwei has a hard time every time and getting injured is a common occurrence.

Fu Jin and Fu Lun were unwilling to tie up Falcon, saying that it would make him uncomfortable.

Until the last time Dong'er came looking for her crying, he found her there and was accidentally injured by Falcon.

At that time, Ziwei finally couldn't bear it anymore and resisted. She threatened to go back to the palace. She didn't want to stay here any longer, no matter how hard she worked.

This scared everyone in the Fu family. After Fu Erkang woke up, he regretted it very much and offered to tie himself up when he had an attack.

Only under Fu Jin's distressed gaze did he feel relieved.

But this year, Falcon's attacks have decreased a lot.

"Go and report to the lady, I'll be there soon."

"Yes."

Ziwei gently wiped Dong'er's face with a handkerchief dipped in water.

Dong'er is not much younger than Mianyou and Qiao Jing.

But compared to Mianyou and Qiao Jing who looked like two calves, Dong'er was extremely thin.

His face was sallow, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

This is all thanks to Falcon.

After Falcon was redeemed from Burma, his temperament changed drastically and he often went crazy.

Ziwei was beaten by him many times, but after each beating, Falcon would always apologize to her guiltily, saying that he did not mean it and that he loved her very much.

Because of these sweet words, Ziwei endured it.

Fu Jin then suggested that Ziwei give birth to a child, saying that men would feel much better once they had children.

In order to get back the gentle and elegant Erkang, Ziwei agreed and began to actively prepare for pregnancy.

Fu Jin found many folk remedies and boiled them into bowls of extremely unpalatable Chinese medicine.

Ziwei was a very delicate person, but she drank it all while pinching her nose.

Hard work pays off, Ziwei finally got pregnant.

But before she could be happy for two days, Falcon fell ill again, and this time he almost caused her to have a miscarriage.

Fu Jin complained that she couldn't even take care of a child, and then she heard that He Xi was also pregnant, about two or three months early.

Due to exhaustion, the child almost miscarried several times.

Ziwei was lucky enough to give birth successfully in the end.

But Dong'er has been weak and sickly since birth, and because of those folk remedies, Dong'er was born with fetal toxicity.

This made the Virgin Ziwei resent Fu Jin for the first time.

If Dong'er hadn't still had a little attachment to Fukang'an, she would have given up long ago.

Over the years, Dong'er has been on the verge of death several times, and there was even one time when all the doctors shook their heads and gave up.

That time, it was thanks to Ziwei that she met Hexi by chance in her desperation.

He Xi asked the imperial physician Chang to go to Fu Mansion and narrowly saved the patient.

He Xi had no intention of having any contact with Ziwei, all because of the child. She didn't want Dong'er to die at such a young age.

Ziwei also kept her gratitude to Hexi in her heart, maybe the other person didn't need her gratitude.

No matter how reluctant she was, Ziwei still went there.

Fu Jin frowned as she looked at Ziwei who had arrived late.

If I had known earlier, I should not have agreed to Ziwei and Falcon’s marriage.

I thought she was a princess, or at least a lady, but in the end she was nothing.

It also caused Falcon to be angered.

Not only was she sick herself, but she also gave birth to a sick child.

Fu Jin felt angry whenever she thought about it.

Ziwei knew without even looking that Fu Jin had that stepmother face again.

Originally, because of Fu Erkang, Ziwei could tolerate Fu Jin as much as she could. But now, she is almost losing her love for Fu Erkang and doesn't want to cater to Fu Jin anymore.

The thing she regretted most in her life was that she believed Fu Jin's words and took so many folk remedies, which caused her child to be born with congenital deficiencies.

This is something she will never be able to let go of.

"Ziwei, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as a wife, you can remain indifferent even though your husband is in so much pain."

"Then what can I do?" Ziwei said weakly.

"Child, I'm saying this for your own good, right?" Fu Jin's face instantly darkened.

Ziwei has been humble and submissive all these years, but she didn't expect that Ziwei would dare to refute her today.

Ziwei just found it ridiculous. She was also a flesh-and-blood person. Did she have to stand there and let Fu Erkang beat and scold her?

If Fu Jin loves her son so much, why doesn’t she go herself?

It's just hypocrisy after all. Ziwei's face showed a rare irony.

Fu Jin became even more angry and even started to speak without thinking.

"Xia Ziwei, I'm giving you face, don't be shameless! Do you think you are still the emperor's daughter?"

"You are just a commoner, what is there to be proud of?"

Ziwei glared at Fu Jin, with unprecedented resentment in her eyes.

Yes, she had forgotten that she was the emperor's daughter, but how did she get herself into this situation step by step?

When did it start to go off track?

Ziwei just felt like laughing, laughing at Fu Jin's outward appearance of being fierce but actually being weak, and laughing at her own stupidity.

"Who has brought me to this state? Don't forget, I am the daughter of the Emperor no matter what!"

At that time, she was young and ignorant, and she succumbed to the enticement of the Fu family and became a bondservant.

They originally thought that as long as Qianlong was willing, Ziwei could raise the flag at any time, and they could even benefit from it.

His marriage to Ziwei will also be easier.

Unexpectedly, Qianlong was not happy and thought that without this daughter, Ziwei would become a useless thing.

If Fu Erkang didn't really like Ziwei, I'm afraid Fu Jin and Fu Lun would not agree.

Now Fu Jin actually said shamelessly that Ziwei was a bondservant, which made Ziwei collapse directly.

She felt sorry for her mother and herself, and just as He Xi said, she would regret it.

But she couldn't go back, there was no turning back, or rather, she had no face left.

Fu Jin might have been frightened by Ziwei's calm madness.

"You child, you speak so sharply. Okay, go and take care of Erkang. He is sick again today." Fu Jin said with concern.

Ziwei stood up numbly and walked out.
