The Concubine Liu specifically came to see Concubine Cheng. After her visit, she realized that the person she used to look down on was actually the most intelligent woman in the Eastern Palace.
There is a type of person, appearing weak, but is truly formidable.
Now that the Eastern Palace has fallen, all their futures seem hopeless. Since ancient times, which Prince demoted to commoner has ever managed to rise again and rule the world? Even if possible, Xiao Ze seems unlikely to succeed. At his peak, he couldn't overcome Ling Hua; now demoted to commoner, he probably has even less chance of overthrowing the new Crown Prince.
Concubine Liu no longer pinned her hopes on Xiao Ze and told Concubine Cheng, "I hope you live better than me in the future."
After all, in the splendor of the Eastern Palace, only she managed to hold onto herself, firmly refusing to bear children, while others were either unable to conceive or desperately desired to.
