Dongfang Ziqing silently looked at the man before her and once again silently cried in her heart.

He was still as gentle and caring as before. However, everything had changed. The man before his eyes was no longer the young Emperor Xuanyuan Chenmo. Instead, he was now a true Great Emperor.

His heart had quietly changed.

Seeing the silent expression on Dongfang Ziqing's face, the Young Emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, sighed once again. A trace of coldness flashed through the corners of his eyes as he stood up.

Although the coldness that was hidden in the corner of his eyes was subtle, he was still lacking when compared to Dongfang Ziqing. He immediately sneered in his heart.

"Brother Chen Mo, you are no longer the person that cared for Qing Er in every way."

Qing'er, you have to know that I was forced to do this. I am the emperor of a generation, and I have to take care of every day. There are many national affairs that need me to deal with, but I really didn't have too much power before, I was just an empty shell. The young emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, spoke with an innocent tone as he attempted to explain something.

Dongfang Ziqing sneered in her heart: "Hmph, right, right, right. It is not up to the monarch's family to decide. I still remember back then, when the previous emperor passed away. If it wasn't for my father, how could you sit down peacefully in this great river?"

Even though she said so on the surface, Dongfang Ziqing still said in a low voice, "Your majesty, this servant is a sinner. I am not worthy of Your Majesty's concern. The truth has already been set in stone."

A trace of anger flashed through the young Emperor Xuanyuan Chen Mo's eyes. It was obvious that Dongfang Ziqing's position was no longer the same as before. From today onwards, Dongfang Ziqing would no longer be that naive and cute little girl from before.

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything else. Rest well." The young Emperor, Xuanyuan, Chen Mo, indifferently said before he flicked his sleeves and left.

A complicated look flashed across Dongfang Ziqing's eyes as she watched the young emperor leave. However, it was soon replaced by boundless hatred.

"Xuanyuan Chenmo, although you are a prince, your good fortune is not yours. If it weren't for my father, you would have long been dead, and Qing'er would have wholeheartedly devoted her heart to you, only to be thrown into a cold palace by you. The three generations of Dongfang family have done many meritorious deeds for the country, but in the end, you still ended up in a figurehead, and because we are surnamed Dongfang, the Dongfang family does not covet the emperor's position; however, since you are so heartless, don't blame Qing'er for being disloyal."

After the young emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, left, the doors of the memorial hall slowly closed. The young emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, stood outside the door and looked towards Dongfang Ziqing, feeling complex emotions in his heart.

boom * The door completely closed. The young emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, lightly shook his head before turning around and leaving.

"Begin!" Little Treasure's unique voice shouted as he followed the emperor out.

The Etiquette Palace was bustling with activity as usual, bustling with noise as various imperial concubines and imperial concubines scrambled to stand guard outside the door for a few hours just to catch a glimpse of the former Eastern Empress Ziqing.

However, the scenery of the past was no longer there. The palace doors could be seen as a bird's nest. Leaves flew about as the palace became desolate and desolate.

Within the Yi Palace, Dongfang Ziqing was sitting in a pavilion with a lonely expression, quietly looking forward.

Thinking about the past and how glorious it was, the three generations of the Dongfang family were all loyal, serving the imperial court and doing great deeds for it. They were the prime ministers of the imperial court, holding power in the imperial court but wholeheartedly supporting the young emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo.

The Dongfang family was full of loyalty. They had paid too much for the government and for the young emperor. However, in the end, it was the end of the line, the end of the line.

As the saying goes, a king accompanying a tiger, how could he allow others to sleep by his side? A king's heart was like this; he would not allow even the slightest bit of unfavorable factor to appear.

As long as there was one, it had to be erased.

Clearly, this was the case for the Dongfang family.

"Accompanying a monarch like a tiger, accompanying a monarch like a tiger …" Dongfang Ziqing kept talking to herself, looking desolate.

Beside him, the only maid that hadn't left said with concern, "Empress, don't be sad."

Dongfang Ziqing raised her head and looked at the pretty maid beside her. She could not help but feel slightly gratified.

She grew up with Dongfang Ziqing and could be said to be very close to her. When she was in trouble, the others all left, but only Xue Mei stayed by her side.

"Xuemei, why didn't you leave?" Dongfang Ziqing sat dejectedly in the pavilion as she talked to herself.

She cried and said, "Miss, Xue Mei has been an orphan since childhood. Miss, the master adopted her and gave her a way out of this predicament. She grew up with you and accompanied you by your side, she has long treated you as her sister. Even if she dies, Xue Mei will die with you."

Xue Mei kept crying. She hugged Dongfang Ziqing's legs and begged bitterly.

Xue Mei could see through Dongfang Ziqing's thoughts. She had grown up with her, how could she not see through her thoughts?

"Hey, Xuemei, why do you have to suffer? You will only suffer if you follow me." Dongfang Ziqing sighed and said.

"No, don't mention suffering, even if you die, Xue Mei will willingly die. Miss, don't chase Xue Mei away, please don't!" Xue Mei cried loudly.

Dongfang Ziqing let out a long sigh. She looked at Xue Mei silently and said, "Xue Mei, if you don't mind, we will become sworn sisters. We will live and suffer together and never be apart!"

Xue Mei was surprised for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Miss, Miss, is what you said true?"

"Really."

"That's great, miss. Xuemei is very happy, really very happy." Xue Mei shouted a few words of surprise and joy before she got up and ran towards the palace.

Looking at the departing back of Xue Mei, Dongfang Ziqing revealed a knowing smile. That moment of amorous love made all the flowers around her dim for a moment.

Xue Mei ran out excitedly with two red candles in her hand.

Xue Mei was so excited that her hands were trembling. She lit up two red candles and stuck them on the stone table. Then, she knelt down before the stone table.

Dong Fang Zi Qing smiled and also knelt down before the stone platform.

"God above, today, I, Dongfang Ziqing, am sworn brothers with my good sister Xuemei to become the Golden Orchid. We will be sisters from now on, sharing hardships and hardships with each other and never giving up."

"Heaven above, I am Xue Mei. Today, I have become the Golden Orchid of the opposite sex with Miss Dongfang Ziqing, and I have become your sister ever since. No matter when or where, you will always live by each other and never part with me."

After both of them had finished swearing their oaths, they kowtowed three times towards the stone platform.

"Good sister." Dongfang Ziqing was the first to stand up. She shouted to Xue Mei and hugged the latter.

"Good sister." At this moment, Xuemei was extremely excited, and her tears fell down like rain.
