My name is Afu, and I have been sweeping the land in the cold palace for seven years.
Everyone thought that I was a lowly palace maid who was trampled upon by others, but no one knew that I was the daughter of Xiao Ruolan, a female official of the Taiyuan Hospital who was unjustly killed. My mother-in-law was poisoned and silenced. I hid in the cold palace anonymously for seven years, endured seven years of beatings and scoldings, seven years of hunger, and seven years of cold winter, just to wait for this day.
The queen brought a bowl of lotus seed soup, and I knew as soon as I smelled it that it was heart-breaking poison.
I drank it with a smile and saw everyone's panicked faces before I fell to the ground. They thought I was dead, but I came back to life. Seven years of hatred, seven years of tolerance, from this moment on, I want to get it back one by one.
The imperial concubine sent an anti-fetus medicine with red flowers hidden in it for sterilization. I accepted it with a smile, turned around and held the evidence in my hand.
The Queen Mother is aloof, but she doesn't know that the most considerate doctor around her is the chess piece I planted.
The emperor kept me waiting in the Yangxin Hall night after night, and the concubines in the harem plotted poisons and plots everywhere, but they all made mistakes. They thought I was just a palace maid who climbed up the ranks based on my reputation, but when the truth was revealed, the entire harem would tremble.
In the past, everyone looked down upon me as an abandoned daughter in the cold palace. Now, the position of queen is only in my mind.
I'm not here to compete for favors.
I'm here to claim my life.
