Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 516 It's Late
Zhou's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that Brother Qi would say this.

Brother Qi had said many times in front of her that he would definitely take on the heavy responsibility of Prince Yu's Mansion, and no matter how many difficulties there were, he would have to persevere.

Not only for himself, but also for her, his biological mother, and the generals who followed him in Prince Yu's palace.

When she was asked to come forward to deal with Wang Zeng, even though she knew there was danger, Qi Ge'er also said that as the eldest son of Prince Yu, he could not give in easily.

Now just a few words from Princess Changle, Brother Qi didn't protest a word.

So what does the suffering she has suffered over the years count?
"You can't do this, you can't do this," Mrs. Zhou yelled, and she threw herself at Xiao Qi, "You promised me, you said you would take over Prince Yu's Mansion, you said you would admit me in front of everyone It’s your mother.”

Xiao Qi seemed to be afraid of the crazy Zhou. He hid aside and then said: "Zhou, you may have been deceived too. This is all a trap set by the old King Yu and his concubine. What they said is unacceptable. Xin, they just want to appease you and use you for their own use. I said that, they just want to survive."

"I am only 14 years old. I have been imprisoned in Mian County for 14 years. I am monitored all the time. Every move I make will reach the ears of Princess Yu. I can only be obedient, accept my fate, and do things according to her wishes. I I don’t want anything, as long as I can escape Prince Yu’s Mansion and survive.”

Princess Changle looked at Xiao Qi with a smile: "You really don't want anything?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "The eldest princess Mingjian."

Princess Changle said nothing, Zhao Luoyang looked at Huaizheng: "Bring her here!"

Xiao Qi restrained himself from looking back. He was still bowing there, looking weak and pitiful.

After a while, a person was brought to the crowd.

The man was dirty, his beard was messy, and he was in a miserable state, but Xiao Qi recognized him just by looking at him. It was Mr. Wen.

When the second Tubo prince was beheaded, Mr. Wen was held on the ground in the corner. He saw the second prince's blood splattering with his own eyes, and the last bit of luck in his heart disappeared without a trace.Xiao Yu is not willing to use the identity of the second Tubo prince, so how much use can he have?
Mr. Wen knelt down resignedly and kowtowed to the eldest princess Changle: "The common people pay homage to the eldest princess... My lords."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Luoyang again: "Greetings, girl."

He was arrested by the Wuwei Army, but it was always a girl from the Zhao family who interrogated him. During the days of being imprisoned, he saw with his own eyes how much the Wuwei Army respected this girl. He did not dare to offend this girl in the slightest, otherwise the end would be extremely miserable. .

Princess Changle nodded, not bad, she is someone who knows the current affairs.

Mr. Wen knew what he should say without being asked: "Master Qi has long ordered Cao Min and others to act secretly. Although I am the confidant of the concubine, I also work for Master Qi."

Princess Changle asked: "What did he tell you to do?"

Mr. Wen said: "Place your own people in Mian County as much as possible. Many of the servants in Mian County's yard were deliberately sought out by Mr. Qi to frame them for doing wrong things, and then I took the lead to deal with them. After killing those people , replace him with someone Mr. Qi trusts, so that he can escape from the control of Princess Yu."

"There is also the Zhou family." Mr. Wen glanced at the Zhou family. "Mr. Qi has long found out about his life experience. He deliberately sent people to hunt down the Zhou family and sow discord between the Zhou family and Princess Yu. This made the Zhou family panic. Don't be suspicious all day long that Princess Yu knows that she is still alive. Doing this will make the Zhou family wholeheartedly support his rise to power. Only if he takes over Prince Yu's palace can the Zhou family be at peace."

Zhou's face became even paler. She stared at Xiao Qi beside her and began to shake her head subconsciously: "No, it's not true, it's not true. I found him. I wanted to claim my child back. You lied to me." People are all liars.”

Xiao Qi's expression changed, but he could barely maintain his composure: "After Mr. Wen was caught, he saw that he couldn't escape, so he framed all these things on me. You said I asked you to do it, do you have any evidence?" Mr. Wen said: "When Feng Fengzhi attacked Mian County, there were many people who protected you as you fled, but in the end, the ones who were left were all the people you replaced. How could it be such a coincidence? Those people were the only ones left? If it hadn't been for you You asked me to change it, how could you know it so clearly?"

Having said this, Mr. Wen looked at Xiao Qi: "Master Qi, you think that the court will believe that you are innocent based on your words? There are still people alive in Mian County, and many details will be known by asking. You can deceive Princess Yu." and the Zhou family, but they couldn't deceive the imperial court, let alone..."

Mr. Wen did not continue because he saw a woman being brought over.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came forward and knelt down to worship Princess Changle and others. The girl's belly was bulging, and she was obviously pregnant.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi couldn't help but be a little stunned and swayed uneasily.

Princess Changle asked: "Who is kneeling?"

The girl said: "I am the daughter of Zhao Hua, the magistrate of Mian County, and I am the Zhao family."

Zhao's eyes were full of remorse: "The girl sued Xiao Qi of Mian County for murdering the girl's family."

Princess Changle asked: "How did he harm you?"

Thinking of the tragic death of her whole family, Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath: "When we were in Mian County, Xiao Qi planned to meet me by chance, and I gradually fell in love with him... I was also blind, and I believed his sweet words, and begged him My father helped Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi promised that as long as he gets rid of Princess Yu’s concubine and returns to Prince Yu’s palace in the future, he will marry me.”

"My father was greedy for profit, and I... was shameless and fell into his trap. My father secretly worked for Xiao Qi until the Feng family invaded Mian County. My father fell into the hands of Feng Fengzhi in order to protect Xiao Qi from leaving. Later, he was taken to the capital and killed by Feng Fengzhi, and the rest of my family also died at the hands of Feng Fengzhi."

"My father and mother entrusted me to Xiao Qi, thinking that the lives of my whole family would be exchanged for Xiao Qi's respect for me. I didn't expect that after Xiao Qi successfully left Mian County, he would attack me."

Zhao's lips trembled. The things Xiao Qi did to her made it almost impossible for her to control herself and it was difficult to continue talking about it.

After a pause, Ms. Zhao continued: "I never expected that Xiao Qi wanted to kill me. I begged him to spare our mother and son's lives out of consideration for the fact that I was pregnant with his child."

"Xiao Qi said that just because I am pregnant with a child, I must die, because the blood inheritance of Prince Yu's Palace can only be his."

"Fortunately, the person who tried to kill me saw how pitiful I was and didn't stab me in the vital parts, so I was able to survive." Ms. Zhao's tears kept falling, "I swore at that time that I would seek justice for my family. Although our Zhao family is in the current situation because of ourselves, Xiao Qi cannot escape the blame."

Mrs. Zhao took out the paper from her arms as she spoke: "These are the letters between my father and Xiao Qi. He hid some of them in case Xiao Qi becomes King of Yu and refuses to marry me..."

Ms. Zhao tremblingly touched the letters. They were originally meant for her to marry her lover as she wished, but in the end they became a weapon to kill him.

"You are talking nonsense," Xiao Qi looked at Mrs. Zhao, "You should have given birth long ago, how could you still be pregnant..."

When the words came out, Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly changed. Although he stopped talking in time, it was already too late. What he said was tantamount to admitting that what Zhao said was the truth.
