Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

After everyone left, Su Lingxi slowly raised her head, and when she met the empress dowager's dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she called softly, "Aunt."

The Queen Mother stared at her coldly and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Su Lingxi's heart trembled, and she quickly knelt down, her eyes erratic: "Xi'er is dull, I don't know what my aunt is referring to?"

"Heh," the Queen Mother sneered, then looked at Nanny Gui, "Go and bring him up."

Su Lingxi was stunned, with a bad feeling in her heart.She stared closely behind the door, and when she saw that familiar face, her face suddenly turned pale—why is Yu Zhu here? !
Seeing her reaction, the Empress Dowager's eyes sank immediately: "You really know him."

Su Lingxi's face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to explain: "No, aunt!"

The Empress Dowager did not want to hear her justification, and said sharply: "Aijia has warned you again and again, if you are restless again, don't blame Aijia for being ruthless!"

"You secretly bought Yuzhu, asked him to coax Liu Hongxin, and today sent your mother to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion. Do you think that the Ai family didn't know what you did? Relying on how smart you are, you can do it yourself. I thought it would be perfect. You know, if your surname was not Su, you would be the one who should be beaten to death today!"

Su Lingxi's body trembled suddenly, and when she suddenly met Yuzhu's wide and protruding eyes, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

It was thought that both Yuzhu and Liu Hongxin would be burned to death in that fire, but now, Liu Hongxin is not dead, but Yuzhu has been beaten to death with random sticks.She couldn't figure it out, all of this was clearly arranged, why did things develop like this in the end?
What step went wrong?
She looked at the empress dowager's angry face, and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, I do know that Liu Hongxin and Yuzhu are secretly having an affair, but I won't say it because I'm afraid you won't believe me."

The queen mother sneered coldly: "If you don't say it, you just want to discredit Liu Hongxin. When the Dongchuang incident happens, and you come to Ai's family to cry and complain, this marriage will not only be voided, but Zhongyi's mansion will also be spurned by everyone. Ai's family is also counted in."

"Aunt, no, that's not what Xi'er meant." She bit her lower lip and shook her head, resolutely refusing to admit it.

The empress dowager's anger did not subside in the slightest: "I thought you would learn to behave better after experiencing the incident on New Year's Eve, but I didn't expect you to repent."

"Even though Mrs. Wu is wrong, the crime does not deserve death! But you have murderous intent on the entire Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, and even your mother is involved? The family of Wu Ai has taught you for many years, but in the end they have raised you A cruel and vicious look!"

The words "cruel and vicious" pierced into Su Lingxi's heart like a cold knife.

She stared fixedly at the Queen Mother, as if she couldn't believe that her aunt, who always loved her, would now say that she was vicious and cruel?

Su Lingxi smiled faintly, with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, how can you say that about me? I was raised by you yourself. You said I was cruel and vicious, but I learned this from you. ..."

"Presumptuous!" The queen mother was shocked by her words, she never expected that she would say such a rebellious thing.

Nanny Gui was also frightened, and persuaded in a low voice: "Cousin girl, what are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake to the queen mother!"

But Su Lingxi didn't seem to hear, staring straight at the queen mother, her eyes were sarcastic and indifferent: "Aunt, you were afraid that Concubine Yan would pass you by, and you were also afraid that her child would take away the crown prince, so you got rid of her." After leaving her, the Yan family will also cut grass and roots together. And what I am doing now is just the same as what you did back then, so how can it be considered vicious?"

"You, you" the queen mother stared at her in astonishment, "you are so brave!"

For the Queen Mother, the Yan family was a taboo, and no one dared to bring it up. Now that Su Lingxi has uncovered the Queen Mother's scars in full view, she is undoubtedly seeking her own death.

Nanny Gui hurriedly supported the Queen Mother, and said: "Queen Mother, calm down, Cousin, she just said something in a moment of anger, don't take it to heart!"

"She dares to accuse Aijia now, what else is she afraid of?!" The queen mother was so angry that her face was livid, her fingers trembling with anger.

Looking at Su Lingxi's pale and gentle face, she felt a chill gradually in her heart.

Back then, Qi Nianrou was born prematurely due to Yan Hongjin, and died after a few days of panting, leaving only Su Lingxi who was still in her infancy.Later, Duke Yu remarried, and the queen mother worried that Mrs. Gu would not treat Su Lingxi sincerely, so she decided to take her into the palace and raise her herself.But he didn't expect that what he did back then was actually the beginning of today's catastrophe.

Su Lingxi sneered, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

From the day of New Year's Eve, she knew that she had nothing to rely on.Seeing her embarrassment, her father pushed her out desperately, while the queen mother watched coldly. In their eyes, she was just a worthless waste.

Since it has no value, it should be discarded naturally.

Su Lingxi knelt on the ground, her gaze was terribly calm: "Aunt, when Your Majesty bestowed the marriage, you didn't stop me. Since then, I know that I can only plan for myself in the future."

"Today's event was indeed planned by me alone, but Liu Hongxin did not die, which was beyond my expectation."

"Whether my aunt wants to blame her or punish her, I admit it, but" a faint smile appeared on her lips, "If you want me to marry someone else, you have to die."

The Queen Mother looked at her in disbelief, angry and hated in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, since you are so stubborn, Ai Jia doesn't have to worry anymore!"

"If Ai's family hadn't had people tie Yuzhu up today, I'm afraid you would have been sent to the Zhuangzi outside the city! Ai's family thought you were done, but they thought about Fu Mingjue. I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with it. If the Ai family hadn't protected you these years, you would have died in Fu Mingjue's hands long ago!"

Hearing this, Su Lingxi finally had a different kind of emotion in his eyes.

The queen mother looked at her like this, and she was very angry: "Kneel here and think about it carefully. After all, your ridiculous persistence is more important than your life!" After throwing this sentence, she shook her sleeves and left.

Nanny Gui took a look at Su Lingxi, sighed deeply, and followed the Queen Mother's footsteps.

The hall was completely quiet, and the yellowish candles were whistling in the cold wind.

Under the candlestick with twelve copper branches was the jade bamboo that was dying, and he just stared straight at Su Lingxi, as if he was expressing his hatred for her silently.

But Su Lingxi didn't have the slightest fear, she just quietly looked at those eyes that were unwilling to die, as if she saw that many years ago, there was also a person who died so unwillingly and unwillingly.
The lights flickered slightly, and the shadows of the candles flickered.

Su Lingxi knelt in Yanfu Palace all night, and also looked at Yuzhu's body, all night.

I don't know where the evil thoughts in my heart came from, but like this spring breeze that sneaked into the deep palace without a sound, it filled the whole palace without knowing it.
