A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1253: At Last

Clearly implying that she didn’t want to help.

Luo Manman’s face was full of disappointment.

Tears streamed down her face as she closed her eyes.

The female doctor left with a dismissive sneer, Xiao Ge found an excuse and ran off too.

Only she was left in the room.

Luo Manman glanced around.

She saw the cobwebs in the corner of the room that hadn’t been cleared.

She looked at the filthy, disorderly table, the rundown chairs.

And the Duobao Pavilion that was empty, with not a single ornament.

Her heart grew colder and colder.

Had all those years of waiting been for naught?

Years ago, she had been chosen at first sight by the Crown Prince, and the glory of serving by his side was still vivid in her mind.

At that time.

She was the only Accountant Woman Official by the Crown Prince’s side.

He cherished her, protected her.

They would drink tea, enjoy the moon, recite poetry, and play chess together.

He said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He said he would protect her for a lifetime.

He said he would never let her down.

How foolish she was back then, she believed it all.

She trusted him with all her heart, gave him everything she had, willingly making the bed and preparing his clothes every day, arranging his attire.

She was like a pampered and playful little woman adored by her husband.

Every morning, she would watch him leave for studies, for martial arts training.

Every night, she would wait for him to return, personally offering fragrant tea, then carefully washing his outer clothes with her own hands, never entrusting it to others.

During the day, she would rush to make clothes and socks, fearing his garments would be drenched in sweat again, his sleeves worn out, the soles of his shoes thinning.

She cared for him entirely like a wife for her husband who was rarely at home.

In fact, she indeed had this status.

Back then, she thought life would always be this way.

She was a Chamber Maid.

Even if the Crown Princess Consort and consorts entered the palace later, they couldn’t possibly touch her, a mere Chamber Maid.

Or even if they wanted to harm her, he would still protect her.

But unfortunately...

She was disappointed!

As soon as Consort Shih Wanxin entered the palace, she caught her eye first.

At that time, she would find faults everywhere.

The Emperor, then still the Crown Prince, said nothing, and she never complained.

But what shocked her the most was.

Shih Wanxin stubbornly pursued her, and used means to drive her out of the palace when the Emperor ascended the throne.

Her end came so soon because of Shih Wanxin.

The Emperor ascended the throne.

And she left.

The most crucial thing was, he didn’t even notice her departure.

Over the years outside the palace, her life was far from good.

Her family urged her to marry, she refused, and ended up abandoned by them.

Others advised her to give up, she also refused.

Because she firmly believed that one day the Emperor would come to find her.

All these years, she had been waiting and waiting.

Without family, she became her own family.

Without silver, she would go out to do embroidery work.

Others ridiculed her as shameless, she would just smile and dismiss it.

Her days have been incredibly tough.

But she wasn’t afraid, she continued to live like this.

Finally, heaven favored her perseverance.

She finally got this opportunity.

That day, someone found her, saying the Emperor wanted her back into the palace.

At that moment, all the darkness turned bright, all the hardships became worthwhile.

She cried tears of joy.

’Emperor, you finally remembered me!’

’Emperor, Manman didn’t marry, Manman has been waiting for you!’

’Emperor, I knew you wouldn’t forget!’

That night she cried and stayed awake all night.

The next day, she got up early to pack her things and left with the palace people.

But who would have known...

The situation awaiting her in the palace was like this.

Oh, Emperor.

It wasn’t you who brought me back to the palace!

It turns out it was all fake.

You never even remembered me, you already had a new Empress by your side.

She is a Beautiful Delicate Lady, younger than me, prettier than me, with a nobler background, more sensible, more likable than me...

She dared not think any further.

Tears streamed down her face but she could only cover her mouth, suppressing any sound of crying.

It turns out, everything was different from what I thought!

It was the Empress Dowager who remembered me.

The woman who originally drove me away.

She brought me back into the palace just to use me to harm you!

"No!"

"Emperor!"

"I can’t do it!"

"I can’t do it!"

Luo Manman desperately grabbed her head, intensely struggling in her heart.

Just then.

There was suddenly a commotion outside the door, a faint sound of footsteps.

Luo Manman immediately ceased her crying, looking towards the door.

A plump figure appeared, walking into the room.

She walked while smiling faintly.

"Attendant Luo, don’t lose hope!"

"Whatever you want, I’ll help you achieve it!"

This voice was eerie, causing Luo Manman to immediately feel alarmed.

"Who?!"

"Who are you?!"

Shih Wanxin slowly appeared at Luo Manman’s bedside, smiling as she looked at the tear-stained, injured person on the bed, sighing.

"Oh my!"

"Back then, how glorious you were!"

"Serving by the Emperor’s side, even the palace maids and eunuchs would respectfully call you Sister Manman?"

"Even Li Shengan had to treat you courteously!"

"Now... how did you end up like this?"

Luo Manman was somewhat startled!

"Who exactly are you, and how do you know these things?!"

Shih Wanxin looked at her solemnly.

"Don’t you really recognize me?"

Luo Manman examined her carefully again and shook her head.

"I don’t know you!"

"I don’t recognize you!"

Shih Wanxin’s eyes immediately reddened, choking as she looked towards the door, forcing her tears out.

"Wretch! Am I really that different?"

"So different that you can’t recognize me?!"

Luo Manman’s pupils widened somewhat.

This tone was so familiar, she seemed to know it!

She scrutinized her features again.

Indeed, there was a familiar shadow, but... She couldn’t recall.

Shih Wanxin’s patience wore thin, she casually waved her hand and said.

"Who I am doesn’t matter, when you remember, you’ll naturally know!"

"The matter at hand is that we need to unite first!"

Luo Manman grew more cautious, enduring the pain to shrink back a bit.

"Why should I listen to you?!"

Shih Wanxin laughed heartily.

"Why shouldn’t you listen to me?"

"Afraid I’ll harm you?"

"What could I possibly want from you? Aren’t you already miserable enough?!"

Luo Manman was still hesitant.

"But..."

Shih Wanxin impatiently said.

"No buts! We don’t have much time!"

"You have to listen to me!"

Her tone, her eyebrows, her gestures, made Luo Manman suddenly realize.

"It’s you!"

"I remember now, you are Consort Shih!"

Shih Wanxin’s gaze twitched, sternly rebuking.

"What’s all this consort nonsense! Stop spouting nonsense, there’s no such person in the palace!"

Luo Manman was stunned.

"Consort, why are you..."

"Why have you become like this?!"

If it weren’t too familiar.

She couldn’t possibly imagine that the once radiant lady.

Would become this old, ugly, sallow-faced, acne-ridden woman before her!

Are they truly the same person?!
