Fair Lady

Qi Haoning looked at Concubine Zhao with a half-smile, the mockery in his eyes was undisguised: "You won't let? Concubine Zhao? Are you sure you have the qualifications?"

Concubine Zhao's face turned pale in an instant. Qi Haoning had indeed been alienated from her in the past few years, but he had never spoken so sharply before, and it was obvious that he did not hesitate to tear his face.

However, no matter where she goes, she really has no qualifications. No one will stand by her side, and people will only laugh at her for being overconfident.Don't say that Qi Haoning's trip to Guangdong City was assigned by the emperor. Even if Qi Haoning wanted to go south for a trip, her concubine would not be able to stop her. What's more, the concubines in Prince Yong's mansion are completely different, stricter than other families. many.

What she said just now was just to recall Qi Haoning's previous memories. In the past, Qi Haoning was very affectionate with their mother and son. She had been instilling in him that they were as close as their own mother and child. Qi Yueling, who is not together, still wants to be close.So there is no need for any rules between them, they are as close as relatives and brothers of ordinary people.

She spent so many years of time and energy doing so, nothing more than wanting to "advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended".If there is a chance to get rid of Qi Haoning, no one will suspect her, because they "have always been close, better than their own lives".

And if there is no such opportunity, as long as Qi Haoning treats their mother and son with affection, their life will still be very good.

Who would have thought that one wrong step and one wrong step, the great wisdom that she had endured for a long time, the precise arrangements, and the compensation that accounted for almost [-]% of her private property, were all in vain after a failed assassination attempt.No matter how hard you try.They couldn't bring the relationship between her and Qi Haoning back to the past.

Over the past few years, she became more and more convinced that Qi Haoning did not know who was behind the assassination, but even so, he still treated everyone in the palace indifferently.What kind of attitude is this?Can he suspect everyone just because someone assassinated him?Because he is the legitimate son, he can involve the innocent, can he be so ruthless?Has her kindness to him for so many years been erased?

The more Concubine Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became.Finally unbearable and broke out.

"Qi Haoning, what exactly do you want? Tell me, how did the three of us offend you, your son? Let you treat us like this all day long?

Yes, I'm just a side concubine, and I'm not qualified to ask anything from you, the son of the direct descendant.But I am also a mother, although I am just a humble concubine.Am I not even qualified to worry?

Your mother is not in good health. Since you were born, I have almost brought you up with my own hands. After my cousin passed away, I treated you as my own.I hold on to you in everything, and I love you more than Xin'er and Xiang'er. You and Xiang'er were sick at the same time.I'm also guarding you, leaving Xiang'er to the nanny.Just because you are the only legitimate son in the mansion, the only son left by my cousin.Your eldest brother passed away early, I must protect you and take good care of you for your mother and prince.

Yes, I did all of this voluntarily. I never wanted anything, let alone ask you to repay me.I just do my part and do things according to my conscience.But now.There are rumors outside that the pirate water dragon king wants to seek revenge on you, how can you go to die for nothing at a time like this?You are the son of Prince Yong, you are not a general, you don't need military exploits, what you need is to protect yourself, and spread branches and leaves for Prince Yong as soon as possible, this is the first thing to do to be loyal and filial.

I don't care, your mother entrusted me to take good care of you before she died, no matter why you alienate me, I will not let you go to Guangdong City.No, it's not that I don't let it go, it's your mother who doesn't let it go.

Just in time, I was worried that you would look down on me as a concubine now, and would not listen to my persuasion, so I specially brought the autographed suicide note of my cousin, the former concubine, and you can see for yourself, I followed my cousin's instructions, and his treatment of you What I'm looking forward to doing.Shizi doesn't need to ask me why I didn't show it before, I just don't want you to feel guilty, or feel that I'm restraining you in the name of my cousin. "

Mother Zhao handed over an obviously yellowed piece of paper with both hands, but Qi Haoning didn't reach out to pick it up, nor did she "be stunned at first, then overjoyed and excited" as Concubine Zhao had imagined before. Instead, she smiled sarcastically: "No need!" Look, I know that Concubine Zhao grew up with her concubine since she was a child. Not only did she imitate her concubine's handwriting perfectly, but she also knows her writing tone and habits very well. Don't worry...listen to me...

But there is one thing Zhao side concubine may not be aware of. When the mother concubine was seriously ill, the father obtained a piece of top-quality chicken blood jade from Master Jingxuan, and re-engraved a seal for himself and the mother concubine. Their words were not engraved on the seal. One of them is a special lotus flower, and the other is engraved with a waterfall pattern, which symbolizes the lotus pond and waterfall that father, queen, mother and concubine first met in Shuilian Cave of Yuquan Peak. "

Concubine Zhao raised her head abruptly, forgetting her grievance and crying, but her face turned even paler, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Qi Haoning ignored it and continued: "My father and my concubine made an appointment. From that moment on, the letters they wrote to each other, as well as to Yue'er and me, were stamped with their unique seals. That's our family. Only people know the mark. The three of you, mother and son, have read the letter my father gave me a few years ago, so you probably won’t forget the seal with the waterfall pattern?”

How could the three concubines Zhao forget?They discussed for several times what the pattern represented, why Prince Yong occasionally wrote to them, but there was no such beautiful waterfall seal, but Qi Haoning didn't seem to know it at the time.

Qi Haoning still had a half-smile and said flatly: "Indeed, I didn't know about this before. It wasn't until four years ago when I went to the southwest that my father told me that I had grown up."

Concubine Zhao trembled more and more, and some things began to become clear in her mind.She began to realize in a daze, when did Prince Yong suddenly become indifferent to her? About half a year after her cousin passed away, she took out a suicide note from her cousin, in which she asked the prince to send his own cousin, side concubine Zhao, for the sake of Qi Haoning and his siblings. As a concubine, she was worried about other stepmothers coming in.

Before that, although Prince Yong did not love her very much, he was not bad. He was the best among all concubines and concubines. Leave it to her.Because of these, she felt that it would be a matter of course to take out her cousin's suicide note at that time.

No, after the prince read the suicide note, he just stared at her silently for a while, then said that he only had one concubine in his life, and left after speaking.From then on, the prince treated her less and less until he left Beijing and went to the southwest.Later, something happened to the Southwest General, and the prince was stationed in the southwest and never came back.

It turned out that it was that "suicide note" that harmed her. She thought it was a step with absolute chances of winning, but she was mistaken by her cleverness and shot herself in the foot?

Why?why?The cousin was coaxed into submission by her, she always trusted her, told her everything, shared her joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys with her, she knew exactly when the cousin came to her monthly letter and how many times the prince asked for it on the wedding night Why didn't you tell her about such a "loving and interesting" thing?Could it be that the cousin's kindness and trust in front of her is also pretending?Singing like her?

Concubine Zhao really wronged her former concubine. At that time, Prince Yong told his beloved wife that the piece of chicken blood jade was enshrined in front of the Buddha statue for a long time and had "listened" to scriptures nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times. It is the treasure of their family's spiritual communication and mutual protection. It cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise it will not work.With such a premise, how could the former princess dare to tell her cousin?

At this point, Concubine Zhao naturally understood why Qi Haoning had been indifferent to her and alienated their mother and son after returning from the southwest. So it was so, so it was so, but what should she do now?

If word of her counterfeit cousin's "suicide note" got out, she would stop seeing anyone, and the marriage between Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang would be even more difficult... Concubine Zhao shuddered suddenly. Did the Empress Dowager know about this because she hated her so much?

Seeing the panic finally revealed on Concubine Zhao's face, Qi Haoning's voice became colder: "What? Concubine Zhao, do you want me to read this 'suicide note'?"

Yun Xiao behind Qi Haoning didn't understand the whole thing, but it didn't affect him to understand one thing, that is, the "posthumous note of the former princess" in Zhao's mother's hand at this moment must be fake.He simply didn't know how to despise side concubine Zhao, what a shameless woman, she was so omniscient, it was in vain. He used to always think that side concubine Zhao was really good to his master.

Poor Qi Yuexin was not sober as Yunxiao, so she couldn't figure out the situation in front of her. Looking at her mother who was trembling with anger, she said angrily: "Second brother, why? Why did you become like this? Who is instigating? You said such a long list What do you mean? Why did my mother imitate the handwriting of the former princess? You didn’t even read the letter, how could you slander my mother like this? Second brother, my mother has loved you the most since I was a child, how can you make her so sad? Second brother, you Are you heartless?"

"No heart? In this case, Yunxiao, took this 'mother's concubine's suicide note' and sent it to the palace before leaving Beijing tomorrow morning. The two letters written by the mother concubine to the unborn Yueer are now It's at Yueer's place." Qi Haoning laughed suddenly, but the laughter made people feel cold, Qi Haoxiang, who was about to speak to support his mother and sister, shuddered, and quickly shut his mouth, this second brother who loved him since childhood is now Terrible, totally unrecognizable.

Concubine Zhao was startled, she rushed over to snatch the paper, and almost threw Zhao's mother down.

Qi Haoning did not continue to entangle with them, and entered Zhiyuan Garden with a cold snort, and the courtyard door was slammed shut. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
