"Xi Yuan, if I get a chance after I leave, please let Zhi'er and A Ce out of the palace."
"There are too many intrigues in the palace, and too much loneliness. If one stays here too long, they will lose themselves."
"Zhi'er is a good girl, I hope she can be happy. And Jin Lian and the others, for my sake, please give them a chance to leave the palace."
"Once I'm gone, I fear they will be bullied by others. Please, you must protect them for me."
Fu Xiru's voice was weak, as if she were making arrangements for her final matters.
Long Xiyuan realized that her illness had reached an irreversible stage.
He could only nod while shedding tears: "I promise you."
"Not only will I let them leave the palace, but I'll also give them a substantial amount of silver so they can enjoy their remaining lives."
Fu Xiru smiled gently: "That's for the best, they are all good girls."
