Chapter 8: Are You A Princess? The Kind With A Ruined Reputation

"Is it really hopeless?"

He Xiyan visited Shen Wan several times. He saw how she laid on her bed, sick and dying, not even having the strength to open her eyes. He couldn't help but ask Doctor Liu again.

Doctor Liu shifted his face into a sullen expression and showed the image of a man in the midst of suffering and helplessness. Internally, he was particularly annoyed. Why didn't the princess "die" faster instead of "die" slowly? It was torture.

"Yes, Your Highness, there really is no way. Didn't Doctor Chen come before and said that it was hopeless as well?"

He Xiyan only wanted to ask. He looked at Shen Wan and it didn't seem like she could be saved. He unconsciously asked since Shen Wan was eventually going to die because of him. It really made him have complicated feelings.

When he came to the bed, he purposely lowered his voice, "If you have any wishes that you can no longer do, I will help you achieve it." After Shen Wan dies, he'll be relieved. Shen Wan's death can only bring good to him, not harm.

He didn't like Shen Wan and even hated the other woman. The poison in Shi'er's body was related to Shen Wan's mother, so he couldn't tolerate her. Most importantly, the other woman currently occupies the position he needs for Shi'er. So once she's dead, it'd be fine. If she has any last requests and it's within his ability, then he'll help her.

"No." she said.

This surprised He Xiyan greatly. With Shen Wan's feelings for him, he'd thought that the other woman would put forward excessive conditions before her end. But seeing her with her eyes closed and not wanting to speak at all, he hesitated and left. Once Shen Wan is dead, then she's dead. No one would be able to stand between him and Shi'er.

Two days later, Princess Wan died.

Her departure did not cause any disturbance to the Imperial City. In the eyes of many people, she had no sense of existence.

However, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable when he heard about this. For several days, he barely had the appetite to eat. Although He Qingning noticed this, she didn't dare tell the truth.

Her participation for the crown with her brothers was already stretching her father's tolerance for her. If she were too brazen with her actions, she might provoke her father's wrath.

She had no intention of telling the emperor about Shen Wan.

After Shen Wan was led out of the palace by He Qingning's people, she moved directly to a house purchased by He Qingning in the Imperial City. As for her face, it was easy enough to disguise. Upon closer look, she may still be somewhat similar to her original identity, but people who are familiar with her will soon find out that there's a difference between the two. What's more, her name now is He Wan. He Qingning's close confidant: A cold and ruthless woman who knows martial arts.

"Your Highness, I'm not that kind of person." Finally, after waiting for everyone to leave, Shen Wan could rub the stiffness from her face. "You could make me smile all day and it would've been fine, but to make me be so cold like this, isn't it just torture?"

"Pretending to be cold will make it harder for anyone to discover you. There are still many people who know you. I want you to keep pretending, so no one will believe that you're the third princess. Remember that you are He Wan now. You have to be a cold and ruthless person to everyone except me. Do you understand?"
