Lan'er cringed at Hongyue's simple childish answer.

Yes.

The palace had everything. However, it included hidden dangers.

To someone who didn't know better, Lan'er had nothing to say. Hongyue wouldn't understand and she would be wasting her words.

Lan'er took a careful look at Hongyue.

She had always wanted to visit her eldest sister for so long, but her father had forbidden it continuously. Yet, now that she was here, she couldn't say anything other than simple words that didn't mean much.

”Hongyue... how are you?”

The third miss could only muster out a question to an answer she already knew. Hongyue was just in front of her. How could she not see how Hongyue was?

Nevertheless, Hongyue smiled boldly.

”Hm. You know everything is great, but I don't like drinking the medicine. It's so bitter.”

Lan'er couldn't help but sneak a tiny smile. Of course, it was bitter. How could it not be?

However, Hongyue's next words caused her sister's growing smile to freeze in place.

”Good thing I don't have to take it often.”

”What?”

”I don't have to take it often.”

Hongyue repeated her words as if the subject held no importance to her, but it greatly alarmed Lan'er.

”You, when did you last taken it?”

”Oh, just before you came.”

”How often?”

”Eh, I don't keep count. Why does Sister Lan want to know?”

”Yu'er, please tell me. It's essential.”

Hongyue paused as if in thought, ”Then the day before yesterday, and maybe another time before that. What's wrong?”

”Does the emperor treat you well?”

”Of course, I can have everything I want.”

Everything but the control of her life.
