After Breaking Up with My Ex-Husband, the Emperor

1.

Just like the title says. I'm in the Cold Palace.

We've broken up, but we're not divorced.

My ex-husband cares too much about appearances to agree to a divorce. He tore up the divorce agreement I'd prepared so we could part on good terms, then demoted me seven ranks for "losing my mind and acting arrogantly, defying proper conduct," and sent me to the Cold Palace to be treated for my "madness." He comes to visit on the fifth and tenth of every month, and each visit lasts all night.

After three months of recuperating, I got pregnant.

To hell with you, you shameless pig.

This time, I'll fight him to the bitter end if that's what it takes to get divorced.

2.

While using the excuse of protecting my pregnancy to trade barbs with my imperial ex-husband and look for a way out, his younger brother, Prince Duan, came to visit.

Prince Duan and I have a bit of a grudge between us.

I never expected him to come without intending to laugh at me.

Standing beside the bed, Prince Duan gazed inscrutably at my still-flat belly.

After a long pause, he smiled. "Sister-in-law, I'll help you get out."
