Yixue was stunned for a moment, avoiding eye contact, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Yvaine seemed not to hear her words, "You must have sensed it long ago, right? The portrait that is hidden deep in the palace, where no one is allowed to enter, no one is allowed to see, the person in the painting looks exactly like you. That room belonged to Princess Anne Hart before, who was executed by the Emperor for rebellion, his own sister."
"Stop talking!" Yixue said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I don't know why you are telling me these things. I have never entered any deep palace, nor have I seen any portrait, and I haven't seen anyone who looks like me. I still have things to do at the Palace of Heavenly Purity. If Your Majesty has nothing else, I will take my leave."
Yvaine faintly smiled at the corners of her mouth and waved her hand slowly, saying in a thread-like voice, "You may leave."
"Your servant takes her leave."
