As she spoke, Princess Cuiwei had already turned around and slowly left.
Unlike before, now Cuiwei's back was straighter, more resolute.
And just as she said, she didn't commit suicide, nor did she abandon herself; she even lived quite well, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
Every month, she would personally leave the palace to visit Mingwei's mother, in the capacity of a widow.
The Empress and the Emperor couldn't bear to see this but were powerless; they feared that this girl might act on impulse and take a drastic step.
Besides caring for Mingwei's mother, Cuiwei would visit Zhao Hongqian's sleeping quarters daily to help organize the palace and even discovered Zhao Hongqian's personal notes, helping him fulfill many unfinished wishes.
As for Empress Su, just as Cuiwei said, she never showed her a pleasant face again, let alone calling her mother.
