Lady Changning

Chapter 137 The Hateful Past (1)

Finally, the firewood was raised, but the two of them sat far away, silent.If it weren't for Mingyu's stomach growling in the end, it is estimated that the two of them wanted to sit face to face until dawn.

"Here, I found it in the forest just after the rain stopped."

Xuan Jing handed over the picked fruits, such considerate words made him feel awkward.

Mingyu didn't know why Xuanjing was so polite to her suddenly, she tore off a section of the clothes she had changed, walked to him, lifted his sleeves, and bandaged him.

Sure enough, he was a man with a hard mouth. He was injured when he fell from the heavy mountain, and then he fell from the tree and it hurt to death.

"Is Young Master Xuan still thinking about the question he asked Mingyu when he fell?"

Xuan Jing was surprised, when did a dull girl like Mingyu become enlightened?Could it be that he has been with Xi Changning for a long time?
"Master Xuan, Mingyu can't ignore Miss."

"You don't need to say it." I knew this answer, and I would die if I lied to him.

"But..." Mingyu took out the handkerchief from her bosom, it was plain and white, as if it was cherished and kept by someone.

"But Mingyu's intentions are true. Mingyu understands what Miss said before she left. The palace is dangerous, and Miss wants to find a good home for Mingyu."

"So Mingyu selfishly agreed, because Mingyu also wanted to stay by Young Master Xuan's side in her heart, so she selfishly thought that this would make her life easier."

She blames herself a lot, and this is the longest time she has been away from Miss.She doesn't know what's going on with Miss.

She signed a death contract when she entered the mansion, and she was doomed to be a slave and handmaid for the rest of her life.In order for her to leave with peace of mind, the young lady never mentioned the matter of selling her body, and she used that reason to let her leave.

"Don't say it."

If you don't want to fight, this girl's happy appearance along the way is just pretending, but fortunately, her love for him is true.

Just the square handkerchief. God knows how many of these handkerchiefs he has in his family. He often loses them wherever he goes. If he wants to, he doesn't know how many girls can use this handkerchief to talk about things.

"Master Xuan, if you are not satisfied with Mingyu, you can send Mingyu back to Miss."

Mingyu sent the handkerchief back to Xuanjing's hands, tears falling down uncontrollably.

"You listened to your lady so much, and you retreated this time? You can't help your lady if you go back to be a court lady."

Let alone helping a court lady, her life is not worth much.

Xuan Jing had no choice but to put on Ming Yu the white jade bracelet returned by the head of Huashan, because it was kept close to her body, and Xuan Jing's body temperature was still on it.

"Tomorrow we will return to Xuanfu."

Mingyu kept holding the bracelet on her wrist tightly, and looked at Xuanjing gratefully.Master Xuan didn't dislike her, she finally smiled in relief, it's really good to be able to say it.

"Master Xuan, Mingyu will definitely serve you well for the rest of his life."

"I'm not looking for a maid."

Slavery is not changed, didn't Xi Changning tell Mingyu well that being a young lady is different from being a maid?
No, because Mingyu would not understand these at all.In fact, Xi Changning is also very busy here.Especially the appearance of the rogue Zhao Zhifeng, the days that had finally come to a halt, because Zhao Zhifeng was disturbed again.

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Zhifeng in disbelief.

Xi Lingyan and Concubine Zhao Gui who were sitting beside them couldn't believe what they heard.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Zhifeng is almost sure that she is Liuli. Zhifeng has been inquiring about it for the past few days, and feels that something is very strange."

Zhao Zhifeng can finally make meritorious service in front of the queen mother.He found a lot of evidence to prove that Ziyu is Liuli.

This is not the point. Although Ziyu is not sure that she will be pregnant when she enters the palace, there is definitely something to be done if she investigates in depth.Because he heard more than one court lady say that Ziyu was born prematurely, but the child was healthy and full-term unintentional.

Later, he went to find the midwife who delivered the baby. At first, the midwife didn't dare to talk nonsense, but as soon as he used the empress dowager's reputation, the midwife expressed his doubts.

What makes the Queen Mother excited is that Xi Changning tried his best to keep Ziyu in the palace. Before she sent people to investigate the relationship between Xi Changning and Hucheng Zifu, there was no useful information. If what Zhao Zhifeng said this time is true, then Xi Changning The charges of collusion between Changning and Hucheng Zifu cannot be escaped.

And this matter seems to be able to get rid of many people who are in the way.

"But now I can't come up with valid evidence."

As Xi Changning said, he is an outsider of the palace after all, and it is inconvenient for him to check many things.

"I have a solution. Lingyan, your sister is already a useless person, and this time you have been implicated a lot because of Xi Changning."

When Xi Lingyan heard the queen mother talk about her, she knew that the queen mother needed her help.

But what the queen mother said is correct, she has received a lot of suspicion because of Xi Changning's scheme this time, and even the third prince sometimes pokes her mouth out intentionally or unintentionally.

"Queen, my concubines are dull. Please make it clear."

"You are not stupid at all, I just want to promote your child to get rid of an obstacle in the future."

If Ziyu was pregnant when she entered the palace, then that child would not be of the prince's blood.

"The concubine knows what to do."

It seems that we need to find the imperial physician first, and just confirm that Ziyu's son is not the crown prince's.Then Ziyu will die, and the child will not live.

"Zhifeng, I want you to lure the snake out of the cave. Concubine Zhao, you have been with me for many years, you should know how to do it, right?"

The more the queen mother thought about it, the more excited she became, and she explained everything, and then she waited to collect the net.

She wanted to see how Xi Changning narrowly escaped death this time.

Zhao Zhifeng's harassment made Ziyu more and more nervous, and the prince also saw the clue.Although he never revealed it, he knew that Ziyu had something to hide from him.

"What happened to Ziyu?"

"No...it's fine."

Ziyu's heart was tumbling, she wanted to tell everything, but she was afraid that the prince would dislike him.She really doesn't want to lose the prince, it's really not easy for her to get this happiness.

"You still want to lie to me? In the past two days, Zhao Zhifeng has been asking you why?"

He heard these words unintentionally from a few chatting maids. He knew who Zhao Zhifeng was before.

Xi Changning used to trick Xi Yu before, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she poisoned his mother, Mrs. Zhao.

It would be fine if Zhao Zhifeng asked about Xi Changning, after all, Zhao Zhifeng didn't look like someone who would not take revenge, but if he kept asking about Ziyu, something was wrong.

Ziyu had nothing to do with him at all, why did he inquire so carefully?Moreover, Ziyu has been absent-minded recently, and it is obvious that she has something on her mind that she has not told him.

"Prince, don't ask. Ziyu didn't lie, there is really nothing wrong. Zhao Zhifeng's concubine doesn't know him at all."

Ziyu retorted excitedly, this behavior has already told the prince that she has something to hide from the prince.

"I'll give you another chance, are you going to say it or not?"

The prince looked at Ziyu expectantly, hoping that she would not push him out of the door, and that the husband and wife would have something to say.

But Ziyu bit her lip and shook her head without saying a word.

The prince was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left.

"I won't sleep here tonight, you go to bed early."

Maybe someone else could tell him what happened.

The prince walked through the long corridor and came to Xi Changning's bedroom. Without a pass, he pushed the door and entered by himself. He happened to see Xi Changning and He Lianbao sitting together and chatting.

"Remember to knock on the door next time, what if I'm taking a shower?"

Although they are husband and wife, but there is no reality of husband and wife, Xi Changning still minds that the prince is so casual.

"Helian Bao, you go out."

The two of them knew from the prince's posture that the visitor was not kind, and there must be something wrong.Thinking of Helian Bao, he left by himself and closed the door by himself.

"Is there something you and Ziyu are hiding from me?" The prince approached Xi Changning and asked forcefully.

Xi Changning stood up casually and pushed away the approaching prince.

"I have nothing to hide from you. As for Ziyu, I can't influence her thoughts. How do I know?"

Hearing what Xi Changning said, the crown prince knew that Ziyu was indeed hiding something from him. Although it looked like an unspeakable concealment, her concealment from him already showed the distrust between them.

"Tonight, no, maybe tomorrow night I'll be staying here."

"Can't you sleep in the study?"

Xi Changning looked disgusted, she couldn't sleep if the prince slept here.

It's not that the prince's sleeping posture is not good, but that there are many people in the room who really can't sleep.Especially for a man, it was necessary to put on a show in the past, but now it is not necessary to have Ziyu.

"I'm going to sleep here today."

Seeing how disgusted Xi Changning was, he was already angry with Ziyu, but now Xi Changning was the one who lit the fire.

Xi Changning couldn't turn him around, no matter what, it was a husband and wife affair, and it was unreasonable to drive him out, so Ziyu was wronged tonight, so she could think clearly.

Just now, she purposely said what she said was full of loopholes, hoping that the crown prince would pay attention to Ziyu's abnormality, because Xi Changning was really afraid that Ziyu would do something stupid.

"I'll ask Mingyu to prepare clothes for you tomorrow. Also, Ziyu, please pay more attention."

When Ziyu was mentioned, the prince felt sullen in his heart.Without raising his head, he followed Xi Changning's own words.

Xi Changning saw that the prince was losing his temper like a child, maybe Ziyu was right to worry, if the prince can't accept everything about her past, then Ziyu will have nothing.

The crown prince lived in Xi Changning's dormitory for three consecutive days, and Ziyu shed tears every day, and the child had no intention of taking care of it and had to be left to the nanny.

She shut herself in her room, thinking of all the things she could do, but in the end she couldn't find anyone to talk to.

She didn't dare to drag Xi Changning down any longer, and she didn't dare to explain everything to the prince, so she could only bear everything silently.Sometimes it is necessary to prevent Zhao Zhifeng's harassment.

"Xi side concubine, don't mess around in the palace today."

The nurse next to her suddenly reminded.

　I am speechless about our purple sauce, how did I write about such an awkward man~~~~~
