After losing to Zhen Huan, Yixiu placed all her hopes in Qingying, wishing she would hold tightly to the Fourth Prince, become empress, and restore the Ulanara clan to glory.
After leaving the world with her regrets, she did not enter the underworld as she had expected. Instead, she arrived in a space that was white in every direction, filled with familiar faces: Consort Qi, whom she had killed; the detestable Consort Hua… and that wretched Zhen Huan.
Seeing Zhen Huan arrive, how could Yixiu fail to understand? So she had “died” too. What fitting retribution.
The Emperor looked at Zhen Huan, but his eyes no longer held the affection they once had. Now they revealed only hatred. The two lovers of old had ultimately gone their separate ways. Yixiu felt a rush of satisfaction. “Your Majesty, the one who loves you most will always be me, Ulanara Yixiu. Whether it was your elder sister or her lookalike, they both betrayed you. I, Ulanara Yixiu, am the only one who has loved you and you alone from beginning to end.”
Before they could even begin catching up, the giant screen before them spoke. “Good evening, esteemed guests from the Qing Dynasty. We are about to begin watching Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace. Please take your seats.”
Yixiu watching the sky screen: She went through a difficult journey of confusion, pride, shock, an assault on her eyes, a headache, wanting to die, and wondering why she still had not died.
Yixiu after watching the sky screen: “May a bolt of lightning strike that wretch Qingying dead! Don’t let her bring shame upon the Ulanara clan.”
Qingying: A knockoff who studied Chun Yuan and still managed to get everything wrong.
(All the characters from Empresses in the Palace appear. This has nothing to do with actual history, so just enjoy it.)
