Cang Yueli stayed in his palace and did not go to court, saying that he was "unwell".
Anyway, it's just a puppet, it doesn't matter, no one cares at all, all court affairs are reported to Xin Moge alone as always.

Three days and three nights later, when Xiao Mei, who had been spared her life and was sent to Cang Yueli's palace to serve Cang Yueli, stepped into the palace again and saw Cang Yueli in the palace,
I saw Cang Yueli sitting alone on the floor of the palace, with several wine jars poured beside him. There was a very strong smell of wine everywhere in the air. After getting closer and seeing it more clearly,
I saw that Cang Yueli was obviously much older, his face was covered with a long beard, and there were obviously a lot of gray hairs in his scattered long hair. His whole person was indescribably decadent.
Xiao Mei couldn't help but trembled all over. She knelt down gently in front of Cang Yueli and called carefully: "Your Majesty..."
Cang Yueli heard the sound and opened his eyes in a daze. After staring at Xiao Mei in front of him for a while, he stretched out a hand and slowly touched the side of Xiao Mei's face.
Xiao Mei was overjoyed. Cang Yueli had never looked at her like this before. Even though she had just arrived some time ago, Cang Yueli hoped that she could help him. That time, when Cang Yueli was in Prince Fan's Mansion, it was not like this.
When she was recovering from her injuries, she wanted to be his. She hoped to follow him back to Licheng, become his concubine, and fly on a branch to become a phoenix. Now, she did not hesitate to come all the way to the capital, did not hesitate to enter the palace as a palace maid, and even more
It was worth it to take the risk to persuade Murong Ji quietly for him, and finally get a look like this from him. Even if he couldn't stand up in the future, even if he would always be just a puppet, after all, the title was still there, and she would still be willing to be him
woman.
But Xiao Mei never expected that at the moment when she was so happy that she couldn't help but want to get close to her, Cang Yueli looked at her and actually called out another woman's name.
"Su Ran... Ran'er..." Cang Yueli was obviously drunk, and he was still drunk, mistaking Xiao Mei in front of him for Su Ran.
Xiao Mei was furious and pushed Cang Yueli away in front of her.
Cang Yueli didn't care, he was so limp and drunk that he had no strength, so he was pushed directly to the ground by Xiao Mei, but he still didn't wake up. In his trance, he even mistook Xiao Mei for Su Ran and pushed Xiao Mei towards him.
Thinking that Su Ran wanted to leave him, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiao Mei's wrist, pulled Xiao Mei into his arms, refused to let go, and said to Xiao Mei: "Didn't you say that?
Do you like me? I believe it now... now, don’t leave me... I really have nothing left, only you..."
Xiao Mei struggled hard, feeling resentful and unwilling. She had done so much and done so much for him. Could this be what she got in the end?
After a while, she finally pushed Cang Yueli away. Xiao Mei stood up and walked towards the palace door where she had just entered, preparing to leave angrily.
But the palace door has been closed, and there are eunuchs and guards guarding the outside.
The eunuchs and guards outside ignored Xiao Mei's constant attempts to open the door. The superiors had already ordered that Cang Yueli would be served by Xiao Mei from now on. After being imprisoned for several days, Xiao Mei was not directly taken out to be killed.
This was the greatest mercy the superiors had ever shown her.
At the same time, Su Ran, whom Cang Yueli kept calling out to Xiao Mei, had already reached the snow mountain and was in a small village at the foot of the snow mountain.
