“Princess, this isn’t the way to the Longevity Palace,” Bai Zhi reminded her softly on the palace path.

“Huh?” Xuanyuan Ye suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had unknowingly walked down the wrong path. She glanced at the palace maids behind her and clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, “Help me make a trip to the

Longevity Palace. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t be going to pay my respects to Imperial Grandmother today.”

With that, she turned around and walked towards the palace door.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and quickly followed. “Princess, where are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the imperial physician?”

Madam Yu had set up a small Buddhist hall in her courtyard. Every day, she would copy scriptures for an hour. It was the same today.

After coming out of the small temple hall, she pressed her twitching eyelids and instructed, “Go and see if the princess is awake. If she is, ask her to come and have breakfast with me.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Ye jogged in.

Just as she was about to blame her for not looking like a noble lady at all, Madam Yu’s heart skipped a beat when she saw her clothes. She asked, “You left the residence?”

Xuanyuan Ye pounced on her and grabbed Madam Yu’s sleeve tightly as if she had seen her savior. She said with a sobbing voice, “Mother, I think I’ve gotten into trouble.”

In the small courtyard, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia went out to buy clothes after breakfast.

This was Shen Yijia’s suggestion. She said that since they wanted the Wu Kingdom’s envoys to think that they had come prepared, they had to present themselves with dignity.

Therefore, when Xuanyuan Ce came, he only saw Ji Luo sitting alone in the courtyard fiddling with medicinal herbs.

Finally, no one disturbed him. He heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. He walked forward and handed her a jade box. “This is the Jade Skin Cream I took from the palace. Try it.”

Ji Luo threw the herbs into the stone mortar and crushed them. She said indifferently, “There’s no need. Your Highness, you should take it back.”

Apart from the first time she forgot about it because she was in a hurry to see Shen Yijia, she wore a veil every day.

However, even so, it could not hide one of the twisted and ferocious scars that extended to her brow bones.

Others would feel pain just from looking at that scar. How much pain must Ji Luo have endured back then?

However, to the scars covering her entire face, that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The smile on Xuanyuan Cel s face froze. Only he knew that every time he saw these scars, his heart would feel like it was being dismembered.

“I know you hate me, but you should treasure the body that your parents gave you.”

“Hate?” Ji Luo stopped what she was doing, as if she had heard a huge joke. She suddenly laughed and smiled for a long time before looking up at the man in front of her.

The man stood under the sun with a frown. He was cold and noble, giving off an unapproachable feeling.

It was just like the first time she saw him. He was clearly injured and could not stand steadily, but when she wanted to approach him and check his wounds, she was almost injured by him.

At that time, she thought that it would be a pity if such a good-looking man died like this. Hence, she sprinkled a handful of sleeping powder and dragged him away.

As time passed, he was still the same person with the same face, but she was no longer the same person.

The corners of Ji Luo’s lips curled up under the veil. “Xuanyuan Ce, you think too highly of yourself.”

Over 2,400 days and nights. If she really wanted to hate someone, there were too many people to hate.

She could have hated Madam Ji for being ungrateful, hated Si Yun for disregarding their childhood sweetheart relationship, hated her clansmen for watching from the sidelines, hated herself for being blind, and hated leaving those clansmen alive…

She could hate so many people. What was Xuanyuan Ce to her?

Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes were filled with hurt. “Ah Luo…”

Ji Luo interrupted him with a frown. “Your Highness, we’ve already said what we needed to say seventeen years ago. If you come here as Jiajia’s father, I won’t stop you. If it’s anything else, forget it.”

She owed her daughter to begin with and would not selfishly deprive her of her father’s love, but that was all.

“Ah Luo, I had no choice back then. I’ve always wanted to explain it to you.”

“Explain?” Ji Luo took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wrapped some of the crushed medicinal powder into it. She said in a mocking tone, “You said that you had no choice, and that you could explain it. Why does it matter? Can you pretend that what happened didn’t happen?

Xuanyuan Ce was stunned and took a step back as if all his strength had been drained. His hand that was holding the jade box fell limply..
