Chapter 95 A Big Gift

When the person in front of the screen turned around and looked at everyone, Zixi walked behind Zhulan with a guilty conscience.

It turns out that this is the task that Teng Xuanyi entrusted to Mu Yan!
"Fourth brother, with so many people here, do you want to give me any big gifts?"

Her tone was still arrogant, but her expression was much gentler than before. Looking at the little purple skirt exposed behind Zhu Lan, Teng Xuanxiao had something to say.

Getting closer to Zhulan, Zixi tilted her head and squinted at Teng Xuanyi: It really is "dangerous"!Teng Xuanxiao will definitely settle the matter with herself, but Teng Xuanyi specially invited his third brother to this place, so there should be more important things to talk about...

"Third brother, you guessed it right! Today, I am going to give you a big gift!"

Ok?
Looking at the back of the person who was walking towards the third prince, Zixi's eyes widened: What is he going to do?
The others were also at a loss, and looked at Zixi in unison, this girl is smart, she should understand the meaning of those words!

"Why are you all looking at me? I don't know what's going on!"

The two brothers who had an indifferent relationship in the past finally had a chance to have a good chat.

Although he didn't know what was going on with Yi Qijun, Mu Yan told him about the fact that the fourth brother was trapped in the palace by his father's design on the night when the girl came to give gifts.

The guilt of not being able to help, and the indignation that the fourth brother suffered such grievances made Teng Xuanxiao restless and sleepless at night.

When he heard the fourth brother said that he would give himself a big gift, he waved his hands instinctively: "Seeing that you are safe is the greatest gift!"

A short sentence warmed the hearts of everyone present. Brothers, it should be like this!
"Third brother, if you want me to be safe all the time, you must accept this gift."

Is it...

Walking out from behind Zhulan, Zixi seemed to understand something, she looked at the two brothers quietly, feeling overwhelmed in her heart.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean?"

"I, want to help you become king!"

The candlelight was flickering, the crossbow hanging on the wall exuded a cold air, the shadows of swords and halberds on the ground were about to move, and there was no sound in the secret room.

"What are you in a daze for? Is it possible that I have to stay here tonight!"

A crisp voice sounded, the purple skirt swayed, and the beautiful figure approached.

Now that Teng Xuanyi has already made a decision, it's fine to support him. However, the two brothers have similar temperaments. It is estimated that the third prince has no interest in the throne. Time is running out, so we have to find a way to get him to nod...

Walking slowly in front of the two brothers, Zixi glanced at this and then at that:

"You two are really interesting. Before, the elder brother helped the younger brother secretly. Now, the younger brother wants to help the elder brother openly. However, from my outsider's point of view, no matter who of you succeeds, it is the people of Nandan who are really helping."

"Bai Wei, this is the most serious sentence I've ever heard since I met you! If that's the case, let the fourth brother bear this burden! I..."

"You are the best candidate!"

Interrupting Teng Xuanxiao's words, Zixi looked at Teng Xuanyi and found that he was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. It seemed that she had guessed his thoughts again.

"Wei'er, what do you mean by that? Is fourth brother worse than third brother? Why do I think fourth brother is more suitable..."

Teng Xuanyun finally couldn't bear it any longer, holding Luo Yiyao with his left hand and Zhu Lan with his right hand, walked forward unconvinced, and muttered.

Xin Ruo and Qin Rao looked at each other, but they were also puzzled. The Fourth Highness and the Sixth Highness are closer. It's fine if I don't want to be the throne. Why don't I consider the Sixth Highness?

"If you want Concubine Jin to spend the rest of her life safely, then shut up!"

The upper lip pressed the lower lip, pulled Luo Yiyao to the right, and Zhu Lan to the left, Teng Xuanyun "disappeared" behind the two of them, not daring to say another word.

This kid is usually free and easy, carefree, why does this girl say a word, he becomes that kind of virtue...

Teng Xuanxiao was a little surprised, but soon he figured out the reason, and gave his fourth brother a meaningful look. Fortunately, he didn't say anything nonsense.

"How do you say this? Why is it related to Concubine Jin? Also, why do you think that I am the best candidate for the fourth brother?"

Zixi understands that after answering this question, one more person will fall into the entanglement of family choices, but in the current situation, she can only do it as a last resort.

"Everyone knows that your mother and concubine died in Xiangkun Palace, but you don't think the queen did it, do you?"

"Of course! Frame the queen, shake the position of the middle palace, and thus suppress the momentum of the son-in-law. My mother and concubine...how innocent!"

"Innocent? That's because she died! She prepared that cup of poisoned tea for the queen!"

Pulling Zhu Lan and Luo Yiyao apart, Teng Xuanyun shouted "Huh?" Everyone was shocked, including Teng Xuanyi.

Shaking her head slightly, Teng Xuanxiao looked at Zixi in disbelief: "This is impossible!"

"Wei'er, how did you know? Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence! Concubine Zhao and her mother are sisters, how could that be?"

The queen would rather endure others pointing her back, willing to bear this great injustice, in order to preserve the reputation of Concubine Zhao after her death, and of course, the flawed relationship between husband and wife.

But now, her sentence "I am not only a queen, but also a mother, naturally, but also myself", made Zixi both gratified and uneasy. Looking at the two extremely surprised faces, she nodded:
"It was your mother who told me! Concubine Zhao was ordered to poison her precisely because of what you said about being a sister. Concubine Zhao... drank that cup of poisoned tea by herself."

Bong!Life!
Anger ignited in the eyes of the two brothers at the same time, it turned out that the instigator was actually the father!

"Third prince, do you still remember the envoy Zhao?"

"Remember, the concubine's dowry maid."

"Before she died, she left a blood letter and told the queen what happened. In order to protect the reputation of your mother and concubine after her death, she chose to bear it silently. Xingwu and Yuelu are a pair brought up by Zhao's envoy. Abandoned babies, the queen let them enter the palace to fulfill the entrustment of the envoy Zhao, but who would have thought that they would actually lure wolves into the house..."

No wonder, that girl must bring Yuelu by her side, how many secrets are still hidden in her heart, it must be very tiring to be so sad...

Zhu Lan and Luo Yiyao sighed at the same time: There are so many helplessness in the world!

If it was said that they helped Teng Xuanyi for the sake of that girl in the past, then at this moment, the two of them wanted to do something for him from the bottom of their hearts.The corner of the eye collided, and the two nodded tacitly.

It turned out that the concubine mother was forced to death...

A tear rolled down, Teng Xuanxiao turned her back, her body trembling slightly.

Seeing the sad look of the third brother, Teng Xuanyi felt even more uncomfortable:

It turned out that the father and the king had already had a grudge against the queen mother and himself. If it weren't for the frequent wars in those years and the need to protect the country's safety, I am afraid that the middle palace would have changed hands...

Today, if I hadn't suddenly expressed my heart, this girl would have continued to hide this matter, and the queen mother, who has endured grievances for so many years, has no idea...

"Now is not the time to be sad! The eldest prince is obviously in the same group as that old man, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the imperial study room this morning, and he didn't have to report it! Seeing his panicked and unexpected expression, I'm afraid that all of this will He already knew it! Not to mention the second prince, Lei Wanting's nephew, it would be good for the old man to save their lives..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Teng Xuanxiao turned around abruptly.

"What... what's wrong..."

"Their wives? Is Concubine Jing still alive?"

"Yes, my girl, I found out!"

"What else do you know?"

Strange, why he reacted so strongly when Concubine Jing was mentioned...
Seeing Zixi standing there in a daze, Teng Xuanyi sighed, and pulled her to his side:

"Third brother, Concubine Jing is indeed still alive. She is the only one left in the Lei family. Maybe the father still has some true feelings for her! But, the second brother is of my Teng family blood, and Lei has no successors." It's..."

"Mu Yan, you don't know about this yet, do you?"

Why was Mu Yan suddenly mentioned again?

Glancing at Xinruo and seeing her shaking her head towards him, Teng Xuanyi replied, "He doesn't know yet."

"Such good news, he should have been notified earlier!"

Teng Xuanyi took a deep breath, and slowly turned her head to look at Zixi beside her, only to see that she was opening her mouth wide, her eyelashes flickering, froze for a long time, and then said slowly:
"My goodness……"
