On the day when my sister gave birth to another prince, I received her message.

It's time.

The other murderer from years ago, it's time for retribution.

I went into the pigsty, pulled Yi Gui Fei's head out of a pile of pig manure, and put it in a wooden box.

Her eyeballs could still move, but she couldn't see or hear anything.

Feeling my touch, Yi Gui Fei's head trembled violently.

But I gently stroked her, "Good, don't move, I'm taking you to see your beloved."

That night.

After the Emperor saw Shu Fei and the prince she gave birth to, he was overjoyed and made Shu Fei the empress, and the newly born prince was named the crown prince.

He suddenly remembered the woman who had accompanied him through the hardships in the past.

He went to the Fengyi Palace where Yi Gui Fei used to live, and seeing the objects made him think of her and all the good things about her.

So he issued an edict to bring Yi Gui Fei out of the cold palace.

But as soon as the edict was issued, the Emperor found a wooden box under the bed in the Fengyi Palace.

When he opened the box, the Emperor fainted on the ground.

In the box was Yi Gui Fei's head, with tears of blood flowing down her face.

The palace guards searched for the killer for a month, but could not find the culprit.

And the palace maid Suao, who was banished to the cold palace with Yi Gui Fei, had long since disappeared.

Whether it was due to grief or fear, the Emperor fell seriously ill.

Not long after, he died suddenly.

It is said that before he died, he was still holding a painting showing a young Yi Gui Fei.

The crown prince ascended to the throne, and Shu Fei became the current Empress Dowager.

The new emperor was young, so the Empress Dowager ruled in his place and enacted a series of new regulations, greatly benefiting the people.

One of the rules was particularly thought-provoking: [The establishment of a Dance Academy, where dancers from all over the world can come to learn and perform, without having to sell themselves among the fireworks and willows.]

The first head of the Dance Academy was me.

As I watched a group of young girls earnestly practicing dancing below the stage, I smiled freely:

"Everyone must remember one thing.

"We, as dancers, make a living by selling our art, and even if we die penniless, we must never sell ourselves, or else we will tarnish the reputation of dancers!"

A young girl in the audience looked at me and asked, "Madam, who said that?"

I looked up at the sky:

"The greatest dancer in the world."

Mother, can you see this?

The prosperous era, just as you wished.
