Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 872 Turnaround

The injury on He Manzhi's face is related to Gu Yuci.

Zhao Xiwei had already guessed that there was such a disturbance, which was why she wanted to see He Manzhi. But at this time, he was still a little stunned: "What's going on?"

After all, He Kui is also an official of the East Palace. How can he let his daughter be bullied? If that's the case, wouldn't her plan be in vain...

He Manzhi held back tears: "After all, she was granted a marriage by His Majesty. Seeing that I entered the East Palace before her, she felt uncomfortable... Besides, my family background is not as good as hers, and my mother... can only accept her fate..."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly: "If you accept your fate, you can't let her fight."

She stared at He Manzhi's red and swollen cheeks and couldn't help but remind her, "The difference in family background is not the reason for her to bully you. In terms of family background, who can be better than the royal family? Besides, your father is an important minister of the East Palace, so he is not too big." Worse. The most important thing is that you are the Crown Prince Liangdi who was personally selected by His Highness. How can you let her beat and scold you as you please? "

"...She didn't hit me or scold me." He Manzhi raised his eyes, his eyes misty with tears, so pitiful, "She just needs to show off to my mother. My mother will naturally be furious." She said. As he spoke, tears fell down, "Who said I am not her biological child? She has always been rude and rude."

Zhao Xiwei was stunned: "Did your mother beat you? You are the Crown Prince Liangdi now..." Halfway through, he suddenly realized why He Manzhi said "The Crown Prince doesn't care about her".

He Manzhi nodded with tears in his eyes: "...Because I was chosen as Liangdi, my father held a small banquet for me and invited the ministers and colleagues from the East Palace... My mother didn't know the etiquette, so she asked Gu Yuci to scold her. Then he got angry with me and slapped me in the face... In this case, my mother was more at fault, so I couldn't say much..."

Zhao Xiwei held He Manzhi's hand.

She sympathized with He Manzhi, but she couldn't give him much help or even advice because she wanted to make a fuss about the word "miserable".

After a moment of silence, she comforted He Manzhi: "Don't be afraid, things will turn around soon."

He Manzhi held her hand tightly: "Sister Wei, I wish you could get out soon. As long as you regain your innocence, His Highness will definitely reset you. Believe me, you are the only one in his heart..."

Zhao Xi smiled. She didn't care much about the reset. As for whether the prince cared about her, she didn't feel much either.

But "get out early", this is her most important goal now.

She looked at He Manzhi and said warmly: "I will go out. I just need your help to see if I can go out."

He Manzhi's tears immediately stopped.

After sending He Manzhi away, Zhao Xiwei took out the silver bag and counted the remaining pieces of silver. There are only three pieces the size of a fingernail.

She didn't know if He Manzhi would be able to accomplish this. If she failed, she would have to rely on these three pieces of silver to find a solution.

When the sun hit the eaves of the palace, He Kui took off his time, left the front hall of the East Palace, and went to the back hall.

In the Bihe Pavilion, He Manzhi leans against the vermilion railing, staring intently.

Seeing He Kui arriving in a hurry, his anxious expression became a little more joyful: "Father."

The father and daughter entered the atrium. After the palace servants served tea, they bowed their heads and left.

He Manzhi poured a cup of tea himself and respectfully held it to He Kui with both hands: "Father, please use the tea."

He Kui nodded slightly, took the tea, and frowned: "You are the Crown Prince Liangdi now, so you don't need to use all these etiquettes."

He Manzhi lowered his face: "My daughter knows." He Kui taught earnestly: "When a woman marries, she obeys her husband. You are the prince's wife now, and you have an extremely noble status. Don't behave like a little daughter again, for fear that It's disrespectful." He took a sip of tea and said, "Remember to raise your head when speaking."

He Manzhi raised his head obediently: "Thank you father for reminding me. My daughter will keep it in mind."

He Kui's movement of sipping tea froze: "Why is your face still swollen? No medicine?"

He Manzhi deliberately did not apply the medicine. Zhao Xiwei told her that he would do his best to help her out only if his father saw her difficulty.

He Manzhi lied: "I slept late last night and forgot..."

He Kui put on a serious face and said: "You kid, have you forgotten what dad just said? You are the prince's woman now, and your face is the prince's face. What will he do if he sees half of your face swollen? Thoughts?”

He Manzhi felt desolate in his heart. She was beaten by her mother. Her father did not want to protect her like this, but thought that she had lost the prince's face.

He Kui saw the sadness in her eyes, his heart softened, and his face became softer: "Originally, it's not your father's place to teach you these words, but your mother -"

Blaming his wife in front of his daughter really undermines the dignity of his father.

He held up the tea, took a sip, and said no more.

There was a brief silence in the room, and He Kui spoke again: "You said you asked dad for help, but His Highness ignored you? Dad can't help you with this matter. This is what His Highness is most taboo about. But don't worry, the prince is not An empty straw bag in your belly, as long as you stay on your toes, he won't treat you harshly——"

"Dad, this is not what I am doing." He Manzhi suddenly said, "I...went to Tingwei Prison last night..."

"What?" He Kui frowned, "You went to Tingwei's prison? You went to see -" His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he put the tea cup down heavily, "Nonsense!"

He Manzhi was about to kneel to the ground as soon as he lifted his skirt, and He Kui said again: "Get up!"

He Manzhi was startled, so frightened that he didn't know why.

He Kui frowned: "You are the Crown Prince Liang Di, how can you still kneel to your father? Sit down!"

"Yes..." He Manzhi came to his senses and sat on the chair, still a little nervous, "Father, my daughter's meeting with Zhao Xiwei is not all nonsense. This matter... my daughter also has plans. "

"how?"

"The prince's heart is still with Zhao Xiwei, but he chose me as Liangdi." He Manzhi spoke slowly, "My daughter doesn't want to win his favor. My father is not from a wealthy family and has no one to rely on. My daughter only I hope that if I stay in the East Palace well, I can earn some respect for my father, and that will be worth it... But the Miss Gu family is watching her eagerly, and she feels unhappy. As long as I don't sit in the position of the princess, she will humiliate me every day. …”

He Manzhi twisted his handkerchief and said in a very soft voice: "If we can restore Zhao Xiwei's innocence, then His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely welcome her back. Zhao Xiwei is a kind-hearted person and never bullies me."

She kept talking and thinking, and told He Kui about Zhao Xiwei's situation in detail, "Father, you have been with His Highness for many years, and you know best what kind of person he is, and you are also his most trusted adviser. This is If his father takes action, Zhao Xiwei might be able to escape..."

"She escapes. If the prince restores the old relationship, it will be a good thing for the daughter. If the love is difficult to continue, it may not be a bad thing for the daughter."

She recalled His Highness the Crown Prince's figure and bearing. Although she knew this was wishful thinking and impossible, the girl's secret emotions were still uncontrollable.
