Ying Qi bowed her head heavily to the ground, "It is Ying Qi's honour to be able to share the Eldest Princess' burdens."
This time, her forehead hit the white jade floor and made a clear sound.
Gu Shengyin felt a headache just listening to her.
But the words that needed to be said still had to be said.
"Ying Qi, I'll set you free, how about it?"
Ying Qi suddenly raised her head.
Gu Shengyin didn't mind her offence and just continued, "Leave this place and find a small town where no one knows you and live your own life. You don't need to live for others anymore. "
Ying Qi was silent.
She was moved.
It was impossible to say she wasn't moved.
Only those who had been a substitute would know how hopeless it was to do so.
Always hiding in the shadows of others, others couldn't see you, didn't know you, and wouldn't remember you.
Living in this world, there wasn't even a witness.
Never to see the light of day.
Moreover, in order to maintain the same appearance as their master, they needed to secretly train day after day and take medicine.
That kind of thing, if used for a long time, would definitely have an impact on the body.
At least according to Ying Qi's understanding, no substitute had ever lived past the age of Heaven's Will.
If it was before, knowing that she could regain her freedom, Ying Qi wouldn't have hesitated to agree.
But now …
In her eyes was Gu Shengyin's elegant side profile.
Even if she had just come out of a bath and didn't have any luxurious accessories on her body, just sitting here, she was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
After following Eldest Princess Yongle for seven years, she naturally knew how luxurious and exquisite the other's life was.
Every day, Eldest Princess Yongle had to apply the palace's secret congealed cream to her body twice, which was why her skin was whiter and smoother than a newborn baby's.
The Eldest Princess's black hair was as smooth as ink and there were two palace maids responsible for taking care of it.
The Eldest Princess only drank flower tea made from frosted flower buds …
Ying Qi lowered her eyes.
As Eldest Princess Yongle's substitute, she was naturally carefully raised. Although she couldn't compare to the Eldest Princess, she was still much more precious than the average noble lady.
If she were to leave, what else would she be able to enjoy?
Having gone out with the Eldest Princess before, Ying Qi had seen many women with sallow skin, rough hands, and loud voices.
Poverty had erased their feminine beauty, and their manners were crude and rude.
If she went out, would she also become like them?
Ying Qi had already made a decision in his heart.
"Reporting to Your Highness Grand Princess, Ying Qi is willing to share Your Highness's burdens for a lifetime." She heard her own voice.
Then, she heard the person above her laugh mysteriously.
"You may leave."
Ying Qi left as quietly as he had come.
Gu Shengyin waved her hand behind her. "I'm tired. I'll rest for a while. All of you, go down. Don't leave anyone here. "
Not only did he mean those on the surface, but he also meant those in the dark.
The maidservants quietly retreated.
Gu Shengyin closed her eyes and thought about Ying Qi's words.
She had given the other party a chance to choose, but it was obvious Ying Qi didn't want it.
She had thought that Ying Qi had become disloyal after Eldest Princess Yongle's marriage, but now it seemed …
His wild ambitions had been buried long ago.
