Northern Infernal Region, Emperor Justice Palace.

Before everything happened, Emperor Justice's palace was as busy as the earthly palace, with many busy maids and disciples.

Perhaps the only difference from the palace is that this imperial palace has only one "concubine", the emperor's only companion.

Cici initially served the emperor and the princess, who was formerly known as Susie, day after day without any complaints.

Once upon a time, the princess got injured. Cici silently helped her treat the wound. After leaving, she wiped her tears in secret, which was noticed by Clara.

Clara smiled and pulled her back, asking, "Why were you crying?"

At that time, Cici sincerely treated the princess as her own child, otherwise she would not have gained the trust of the emperor and been specially appointed to take care of the princess.

Cici complained, "The Emperor is really something. The princess is still so young, does he really have to take her for training..."

Clara sighed, "She was already grown up, she had to grow..."

After saying that, he felt a little lonely and stared blankly outside, his pen remaining still.

Cici asked, "What were you thinking?"

Clara smiled and said, "It's nothing, just feeling like an ordinary person who can't do anything and can't always be with them."

"But on second thought, even though he was just an ordinary person, he was extraordinary in his own way to be able to come here. We can't ask for too much."

Cici remained silent, Clara collected her thoughts and asked, "What are you thinking again?"

Cici looked gloomy and said, "The Emperor and the Princess are both very powerful. I also want to become stronger. If the Princess needs me in the future, I won't be useless."

In the imperial palace, neither slaves nor maids were called as such, but instead referred to themselves as disciples.

"But the disciple also felt that he was truly too dull."

Clara trusted Kellen, so how could the people he arranged around her be bad? Also, she was really kind to Cici.

Moreover, from the time she arrived at the imperial palace to the moment she gave birth to her daughter and raised her, Cici had always served diligently without complaint.

"I cannot give you his calligraphy and paintings, I feel a little reluctant, but..."

She handed the blank canvas, which had not been touched yet, to Cici and said, "I was originally going to paint the three of us, but if you don't mind, you can have this blank canvas."

Cici quickly said, "Disciples cannot take it!"

Clara smiled and looked at Cici, who still had the appearance of a young girl. She reached out and gently touched her head.

"Take it, there's nothing to it. I got him to sign it when I was bored, it might not be of much help to you, but his signature carries his essence, containing his rules. Hopefully, it can help you gain some insights!"

Cici waved her hand and said, "If the disciple took this painting, the emperor would be angry."

Clara shook her head and said, "No, the only purpose of this signature is to help the person who is destined to obtain it to gain enlightenment."

"If someone wanted to use it for doing something that violates the rules or harms others, this signature would instead backfire on them."

So Clara was not worried about what would be done with these signatures once they were taken out.

Kellen used separate seals for all the places where a official seal was required, and only that seal was valid.

Taking a signature out alone, now who doesn't know that this is what she sold? The Emperor favored a mortal woman and changed his habit of using the official seal for her. Moreover, every stroke and line of the Emperor's handwriting indeed greatly benefits cultivators, which everyone is happy to see succeed.

Cici respectfully took the painting and earnestly said, "The disciple will definitely work hard!"

Clara waved her hand.

This was Clara and Kellen's first lifetime. After their daughter had her coming-of-age ceremony, Clara's earthly lifespan also came to an end.

The daughter remained youthful at the age of 18, but she aged and passed away, entering the cycle of reincarnation.

They walked through life after life like this, and although Clara would forget the past every time she came back, it was amazing that the three of them always managed to reconcile harmoniously.

Cici was happy for Clara, for the emperor and the princess...

But gradually she found that every time the Empress entered the cycle of reincarnation, the emptiness in between would always make the Emperor feel desolate, and his lonely appearance was very lonely...

As the princess grew up, there were fewer times when Cici needed to take care of her.

People cannot be idle, once they have free time, they will think too much.

Cici felt that the Emperor was very miserable. A man was taking care of the child himself, waiting for that person to come back lifetime after lifetime.

How could an ordinary woman like her deserve such a wait from the emperor?

After witnessing the loneliness of the emperor for a long time, Cici's sympathy for Clara turned into dissatisfaction.

That lifetime was a crucial period for the princess's cultivation. Clara, as in the past, had reached the end of her lifespan.

"She just let go and entered the cycle of reincarnation!" Cici muttered angrily, "At the most crucial moment for the princess and the emperor, she just walked away without a care!"

Why?

Cici felt that this mortal woman was not at all worthy of the emperor.

At this moment, the suppressed thoughts in her heart began to overwhelm her...
