Chapter 423 The Beautiful and Kind-hearted
Zheng Liqi said anxiously, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager indeed had some final words."
"What words?"
Ye Yiheng’s voice was clear and cold, betraying no hint of emotional fluctuation.
"Before the Empress Dowager fainted from anger, her health was already frail. I went to the palace to see her, and she took my hand and said that once the Crown Prince returned to the capital, she wanted me to enter the Eastern Palace as a Second Attendant." Zheng Liqi gauged Ye Yiheng’s expression while cautiously continuing, "Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager fainted the next day. I believed that her words the day before could be considered her last will."
"Second Attendant?"
His voice was neutral, expressing neither joy nor anger.
Zheng Liqi thought she had a chance and thus softened her voice, "The Empress Dowager said that the Crown Prince had gone to Beilan City and, considering the situation before leaving the capital, it was likely inseparable from Princess Beilan. Given that, she said she could only suffer the indignity of having me enter the Eastern Palace as a Second Attendant."
Her family had not been optimistic about this blind Crown Prince, but after his return to the capital, he had miraculously turned things around, reclaiming his position as Crown Prince and even obtaining the support of Prince Zhenbei Mansion.
In the eyes of her family elders, this blind Crown Prince was truly a remarkable figure.
Previously, they thought she had only been enamored with the Crown Prince’s appearance, and due to his frailty, they did not think highly of her prospects with the Crown Prince. But now, they also supported her staying by his side.
