Lady Changning

Chapter 154 Xi Changning joins the Queen Mother (2)

"Empress, you have to think about the little prince, he cannot become a victim of politics."

These words are from the heart of Xi Changning, the little prince is still young and doesn't understand many things, how to understand the thoughts of adults.Presumably the crown prince and Ziyu thought so too, but unfortunately they couldn't take the child away when they left the palace.

How could such a poor child endure contention as an object?
"Now you know how to care about your child? This is the prince's child. What do you know if you haven't raised him all day?"

The queen was still dissatisfied with Xi Changning's betrayal, she passed Xi Changning and left by herself.

What the queen said is indeed true. She has never taken care of this child for a day. What qualifications does she have to say such a thing?

The shadow in the dark has been observing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, from alienation to quarrel without saying a word. Seeing the queen leave, he turned and left to go back and report the result.

Xi Changning felt the silence around her, and that strange silence made her whole body chill, and she relaxed at this moment, and walked in the dark in the direction the queen left.

It wasn't until she saw the palace lantern that she turned around and realized that the place she had been staying in was the deserted garden on the other side of the isolated island. No wonder the queen walked out so easily.

Cold limbs are the only thing Xi Changning feels now, she is really afraid that she will be paralyzed because of this, and freeze to death here.

"Let's go, Concubine Hui gets out of the sedan chair, let's go."

Knowing that the eunuch's shout sounded in front of him, Xi Changning had a glimmer of hope.

"Concubine Hui, she seems to be a crown princess."

Concubine Hui opened the curtain, and saw the pale Xi Changning standing in the middle of the road, with indescribably complicated innocent eyes.

She got off the sedan chair and pulled Xi Changning aside.

"Are you blocking the sedan chair?"

Concubine Hui looked at the distraught Xi Changning in surprise.

"Concubine Hui, who are you torturing now? The emperor? The empress? Or the empress dowager?"

Xi Changning suddenly wanted to ask this question, but Concubine Hui suddenly appeared, and obviously all her memories came back, but she was always in a state of not moving.

"I thought it would be the empress dowager who is the most impatient, but you are the one who is the most tolerant, so you asked first."

Concubine Hui covered her mouth and smiled lightly, as if all this was planned by her.

"Chang Ning, don't be naive, this imperial palace can't survive without doing anything, you just didn't see it."

Xi Changning was shocked, did she miss something?
"Concubine Hui, don't you think about the second prince?"

"Hush. Changning, this is not like you. And I don't want to hear his name from you."

Concubine Hui is still very concerned about the ambiguity between Xi Changning and Huangfu Zimian, and she doesn't even want the dangerous Xi Changning to say her name.

"Changning, I'm not the one who repays kindness and revenge. I'm still grateful to you. But to others, I only have hatred. If I have to find a way to solve it, it's to take the hatred away."

I don't know why Xi Changning saw a kind of relief from Concubine Hui's face, even surpassing life and death, it seems that she really made some perfect plans.

"I know that you are getting close to the queen mother now, your tricks should be able to stabilize the queen, otherwise you will be overthrown by the two of them."

"As for Zi Mian, I will not harm him. I will let him leave without worrying."

Xi Changning became more and more confused by Concubine Hui's words. What did Concubine Hui do?When they were all focusing on the crown prince, Concubine Hui seemed to have done something secretly.

Watching Concubine Hui's sedan chair being driven away, Xi Changning always felt that he had forgotten something, there was something in Concubine Hui's words, and he didn't know what to convey.

Although he didn't know what Concubine Hui meant, Xi Changning at least knew that the queen should be able to understand what she meant, because the note in her sleeve had already been handed over to the queen when she knelt down.

As for Concubine Hui, it seems that she is going to trouble Zimu to keep an eye on her again.

It was already late at night when Xi Changning returned to the East Palace. Although she was still a princess, some thoughtful maids and eunuchs had long since given up on things, and no one would come out to serve her at this time.

The only thing waiting for her is Zimu.The one who said he wouldn't leave her.

"The queen is looking for you?"

As a shadow and a slave, one shouldn't ask about the master's affairs, and this matter is also obvious. The queen is worried about her and the queen mother.

"Half of the answer is correct. The Queen Mother is looking for me and the Queen today."

Zimu looked at Xi Changning suspiciously, as if he had guessed wrongly what happened in the middle.

"The queen will come to me privately in a short time." That little note was for this purpose.

It's just that Xi Changning didn't expect to come so soon, the queen mother can't wait to see if she can show her feet.

"Leaving aside these things for the time being, I discovered something new about Concubine Hui, which may help you deal with the Empress Dowager."

Xi Changning looked at Zimu, hoping that he could continue, because he met Concubine Hui along the way, and the words she said were really strange.

"I found out that the Queen Mother and the Empress once teamed up to deal with Concubine Hui. As for why the Empress saved Concubine Hui in the end, I don't know. These are the words of some old people who left the palace after that incident. Not many people know about it. Running to death, there is no way to restore things."

"Back then, Concubine Hui was the only concubine in the harem. In their words, it was as if Concubine Hui was the only concubine in the entire harem. That was the crown prince and not the crown prince. The second prince was the most favored. There were many people who fawned on them, and even more people who held grudges."

"Then I don't know why a concubine Zhao appeared, who is now Concubine Zhao. She belongs to the Empress Dowager. At first, Concubine Hui quarreled with the emperor for a long time, but the political matters were unclear. Things are much more strange, as if all the women in the harem are on the same line, they are all against Concubine Hui."

Zimu didn't know the rest of the matter, because the old people were pretty much dead back then, and what they knew was superficial things. The pieced together story seemed to look like winning favors, but the deeper ones were unclear.

However, Xi Changning heard something different. Concubine Hui had reminded her to be careful of the empress and the empress dowager, as if she was talking about her former self.

It should be a sad thing to be betrayed by one's own sister, just like she was betrayed by Xi Lingyan. She once thought that she would have a caring sister. Although she didn't see many people after she got married, at least she was on the front line with herself. Now it seems like she was thinking too much.

"I don't care about Concubine Hui, but I'm worried that if you play with fire like this, you will burn yourself?"

"Not yet. I have to keep the Queen safe. There are good reasons why she won't be with the Queen Mother."

Facing Zimu's relationship, Xi Changning comforted him easily, although he didn't know the bottom line.

"The third prince has looked for me. He seems to know the relationship between us. I find it very strange. He seems to know a lot? Who will help him find out?"

Zimu had been hesitant to tell Xi Changning about this, but now Xi Jian and the Queen Mother were investigating He Lianbao, and the third prince did not know when he was.His relationship with Helian Bao and Xi Changning will be exposed sooner or later.

"What did he say?"

A trace of panic flashed in Xi Changning's eyes, the third prince was good at disguising, she didn't know why he suddenly checked this matter.

"I didn't say anything, but he just said one thing, he wants to protect you."

Zimu couldn't forget the firmness with which the third prince said these words, as if he had always been by Xi Changning's side regardless of his own safety.

"You were right to look for the third prince. Xi Jian now holds the details of Helian Bao. He and the Queen Mother will not let Helian Bao go. At least you are safe with the third prince."

Zimu analyzed and told Xi Changning about the current situation, hoping that she could go and explain everything to the third prince, as long as she was fine, he could ignore everything.

"Don't talk about it, I'm too messed up, these things must be solved one by one."

Although what Zimu said was reasonable, Xi Changning still couldn't fully expose himself to the third prince.

Capital
Yan Xiufeng has stayed here for many days, Xi Hanxue leaned on his chest, listening to him talk about what happened in the palace.

"Now the third prince already knows about the relationship between Xi Changning and Hu Cheng, but he didn't reveal it. He must be interested in Xi Changning."

Xi Hanxue felt that these news were enough to put Xi Changning to death, but who knew that the third prince didn't say anything, but kept it hidden by himself, isn't this an obvious cover-up?
"I've known about this for a long time. The third prince has always had something on his mind about Xi Changning, but Xi Changning has no intention. I have done everything I should say and do, but I just can't move Xi Changning."

"Master Yan, it won't end like this. Zimu has always been wary of the queen mother and my father, so this is why the people we sent took advantage of the loopholes. Since it is useless to tell the third prince about this matter, naturally some people want to know."

"You mean the Queen Mother? No, it's too dangerous. Doesn't this drag me into trouble?"

The queen mother doesn't believe what people who don't trust say, but in order to get what she wants to know, she will definitely persecute him.

"It's Xi Lingyan. My sister has changed now, she is so jealous, how can she tolerate Xi Changning placing a stunning beauty like He Lianbao next to the third prince?"

Xi Hanxue figured it out, no one in this world can live better than her, the pain of being plotted by Xi Changning and Xi Lingyan in those years will be returned to them little by little now.

"Master Yan, you mainly accidentally revealed the relationship between Helian Bao and Ziyu to Xi Lingyan. Now that she is the Empress Dowager, she will definitely go and tell the Empress Dowager. She can't wait for Helian Bao to die."

In this way, who else is left beside Xi Changning to help her?
"As for the relationship between Xi Changning and Zimu, what can't be found out after the matter of Helianbao is revealed? The queen mother is so cunning, she will definitely use Helianbao."

Yan Xiufeng looked at Xi Hanxue, and seemed to have changed her mind about the embroidered pillow she used to have. Why didn't he think of this kind of borrowing a knife to kill someone?
"It's a good way, so I can not show up. It's better for Xi Lingyan to come out. She can take care of the good and the bad."

"Young Master Yan is sure enough."

The two counted people far away in Miyagi, and it seemed that only revenge was left in their hearts, especially Xi Hanxue.She can't see the light now, and she wants Xi Changning to taste it.
