Lady Changning

Chapter 125 Betrayal (2)

"You must not take care of the matter of the third prince. You and Xi Changning have a lot of gossip now. If the third prince hadn't begged the emperor and queen, maybe you would have been dragged in for questioning."

He and the third prince are the ones who do great things, so they must not have any trouble with the female affair here.Especially for Xi Changning, it would be better if Xi Changning is dead, so that they who are pulled by her in their braids can live a better life.

The third prince thinks about what Yan Xiufeng said is right, because Xi Changning has changed his plans too much, and he can't change anything because of her, who made her insist on following the prince.

"I have my own plan in mind."

And the plan of the third prince was disrupted because of Xi Changning.

"You're in no hurry."

Worried still urged the third prince to go to the side hall, knowing that it is best for him and Xi Changning not to have anything to do with each other now.

"Aren't you quite calm?" She didn't hear He Lianbao say that there were rumors about her and the third prince outside.

Xi Changning sat next to the third prince. The boy under the moonlight had an indescribable tenderness. She was thinking that the reason why the third prince's appearance and heart were so different must be due to something, so he should also be a gentle person.

"Do you want to see if I plan to help me again?" Or did you never think about helping her at all?

"Just wanted to see you."

The third prince placed Xi Changning's cheeks sideways with his long hands, and the two looked at each other.

"Thank you."

Thank you for helping or letting her go under so many opportunities.Even at this moment, the way he looked at her was so clear, he wanted to help her.

The third prince pulled Xi Changning into his arms after she finished saying these three words. This was the first time he allowed himself to express his emotions so truly. He didn't know or understand what the soreness that surged up in his heart was. I just don't want the person in my arms to lose his life like this.

"I really don't want to help you." His tone was gentle and helpless.

"I see."

The prince said that what this palace owes them is not only emotion, but also more things that others can't imagine.And the third prince is the one who survived this kind of oppression. He is hypocritical, selfish, and sometimes even a bit vicious, but all of this is not what he wants, he just wants to survive in the palace.

Xi Lingyan had thought many times that the third prince's love for Xi Changning was an illusion, but Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er co-operated to deceive her.But she followed the third prince here under the moonlight, seeing this scene, she couldn't calm down the sadness in her heart.

She bit her lip, the smell of blood lingered in her mouth, tears rolled down the corners of her mouth, she couldn't stop being so sour, and finally had to give up wiping the corners of her eyes over and over again.

She loves him so much, and she cares so much about his every move. She never thought that in the end she was just a substitute, or a substitute for her own sister.She is so unwilling!

Jiang Miaoer cried and complained to the queen mother, her face was pale, she could tolerate that the third prince did not love anyone, but she could not tolerate that the third prince loved Xi Changning.

After Xi Lingyan and Xi Hanxue found her, she decided to make Xi Changning disappear from this world forever.

Jiang Miaoer heard the uproar in the palace and knew that even the emperor and empress had to put down their things and come to the Queen Mother's Hefu Palace.

"Why hasn't the Queen Mother dealt with the Crown Princess yet? Are the concubines and their children so worthless? This is the third prince's first child!"

"Your Majesty! Empress! You must make decisions for your concubines!"

"You bastard! I'm not dead yet! Letting Xi Changning take good care of me up to now, does this make the palace panic?"

The queen mother is very happy to get rid of the scourge of Xi Changning.

"Mother, this matter has not been fully clarified, how to deal with it? Is it too hasty?"

The emperor and queen still want to keep Xi Changning.

"Sloppy? Then she is not rash when she thinks of murdering the descendants of the royal family? Are you more confused than this palace? You will not decide that this palace will make the decision for you. Xi Changning murdered the descendants of the royal family and gave poisoned wine!"

"Which of you dare to resist?"

The Empress Dowager's words were Yizhi. In a short period of time, before everything was clarified, the Empress Dowager "hastyly" decided Xi Changning's life and death.It was an aura that could not be resisted, and even the emperor was afraid, because she was the number one in charge of the harem and the emperor's biological mother.

"Mother, no one can touch Xi Changning until this matter is clarified!"

Even though the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, the emperor or the emperor has no one who can stand on his right to decide anything.Since the queen mother insists on this, why can't the emperor insist on saving Xi Changning?
"Okay! You are all against each other. I wish I could die early, so that you can do whatever you want. Since you want to find out what the concubine Jiang saw with her own eyes, it was Xi Changning who pushed her, so go and investigate. Three days If nothing can be found in the future, I will personally punish her to death!"

The empress dowager's harsh words have been put down, it is an irresistible decree, either find evidence, or Xi Changning dies!
Xi Changning heard the news that day, and she didn't know why she wasn't sad at all, she wasn't afraid of death at all, she just felt that it wasn't worth it.

"How can you still eat?" He Lianbao rubbed his eyes that were about to burst into tears.

She really hates that she can't help at all, she is a humble court lady, except for the prince who sometimes indulges her and has no rules, who can listen to her?
"If you don't eat, do you starve yourself to death first?"

"This is the Xi Changning I know."

Recently, quite a few people came here at night, but this time there were actually two people, Zimu and Xuanjing.

"Why did you two come together?"

Zimu glanced at Xuanjing in distaste, Xuanjing's shameless kung fu is really not for bragging, first he and Zimu had a good fight for hundreds of rounds in Hucheng, the two were evenly matched, and then they fought all the way here.

"Come with me!"

Zimu doesn't care what other people think of him, he belongs to Xi Changning, and he only has Xi Changning in his heart.

"Wait a minute, Zimu, don't be in a hurry." Xuan Jing stepped forward to stop him, "I know a lot about this matter, and it's not that there is no room for turning around."

Let the third prince talk about his side concubine, and say that he misunderstood it. It's a big deal.

"That's the end of this matter. Although I'm not the one to admit defeat, I can get involved as little as possible now. Also, he won't help me."

Xuan Jing couldn't believe that Xi Changning bowed his head in this place.So is it not the right time for his Flying Pigeon to pass on the letter?
"Xuan Jing, I have something to tell you. Take Mingyu away. I will tell the prince."

"That's it?" Why does it sound like an account of the funeral?
Mingyu is her maid, who has been with her since she was a child.Whether it was the previous life or the present life, Mingyu followed her without complaint or regret. In the past life, she didn't settle her down well. In this life, she should entrust Mingyu to Xuanjing while she is still alive.

"Bao'er, I also understand what you mean. My elder brother is still waiting for you in Hucheng. After this matter is over, let the prince let you out of the palace."

"Chang Ning is not allowed to say despondent words. How can your elder brother be as good as you, and your elder brother still wants to be taken care of by me now."

He Lianbao sobbed. It was her greatest luck to meet Xi Changning in this life. Without Xi Changning, Hucheng wouldn't be where it is today.

"You don't have to tell me anything, I won't live if you die. Besides, I won't let you die!"

Zimu said in fear, the only belief in his heart is Xi Changning, no matter whether Xi Changning treats him as her shadow or a slave, he is willing to do so.

"Okay, while I'm not here, the palace is free to come and go."

The prince's intervention eased the previous embarrassment.Ziyu followed behind the prince carefully.

"Brother, Changning." Ziyu looked at the two gratefully.

"Prince, why did you bring Ziyu?" Xi Changning looked at the prince with blame.

This kind of big gathering should not meet like this.You should be talking and laughing happily, not forced to smile.

"Changning, don't worry, I will try my best to get you out." The crown prince promised, "Father and queen mother are trying to get you out."

Xi Changning smiled lightly, this smile came from the heart, she should still win, at least she still has so many people to help her.In the past, she also thought about living selfishly, at least others were hurt better than herself, but now she found that the resentment she had been living with revenge for a long time seemed to be less.

Everyone left amidst Xi Changning's forced smile, they really didn't want to see her laughing so much to comfort others.

"Prince, I don't want Changning to die like this."

"Ziyu, what do you want to do?"

"Ziyu wants to help Changning."

She clasped the prince's hand tightly, hoping to draw strength from him.

Xi Changning was the only one left in the huge deserted yard. The candles were flickering, the red dress was flying, and the autumn wind was bleak, Xi Changning shed tears.

Not for the hatred that troubled her, but for the life that was once a paradise.The red lips parted slightly, humming softly.

late autumn……

The person on the eaves refused to leave for a long time, until the end of this cappella song, he never left. Xi Changning is a lonely person, he is her shadow, and he is also lonely.

The three days were long and short, and the voice of the eunuch resounded through all the palaces, even though it was so sharp, it couldn't cover up the silence of this autumn.

"Empress Dowager! Let's drive!"

It seems to be deliberate, every time a palace eunuch yells like this.Every time he yelled, he was telling others that Xi Changning's death was one step closer.

"Ben Gong always thought that you are so powerful, and you died in the hands of Ben Gong in the end?"

The empress dowager's delicate armor lightly brushed across Xi Changning's cheeks, proud and arrogant.

"It's Changning who has a lot of face, and the Queen Mother has to step in to get to this point." Xi Changning didn't resist, but his words were still full of ridicule towards the Queen Mother.
