Lady Changning

Chapter 162 Love To The End But Death (1)

The demonic obstacle was gaining more and more dominance in her mind, even if she kept chanting, she couldn't cover the magical voice.

"You don't want to, you said that you want to take him with you, and live happily in another world, you said that you want your child to become a king, and you will never be bullied again. All this is what you want, you understandable."

"Don't force me! Don't force me!"

Pulling in her mind like a tug-of-war, Concubine Hui had a splitting headache, she couldn't get rid of the evil thoughts in her heart, she was going crazy.But she doesn't, she doesn't want to.

"I didn't force you. You said all of this yourself. Don't forget that I am you and you are me. We have endured the betrayal of our relatives and lovers together, and lived like ants in the palace. You forgot ?"

"You are me, I am you, I have not forgotten, I have not forgotten."

"Boom!"

The mirror was shattered, and what was seen in the fragments was a distorted face, resentful and desolate.

"You guys made me like this."

Beijing alley
It was the middle of the night again, taking advantage of the darkness, the carriage did not slow down, as if the owner of the carriage was in a hurry.

Hearing the hasty knock on the door, Xi'er ignored the cold wind and put on her unlined clothes and rushed out to open the door, thinking it was the young master.There is only one person who comes and goes in this yard, and that is the young master.

As soon as the door was opened, Yan Xiufeng rushed towards Xi Hanxue's boudoir recklessly, and the candle lighted up suddenly, and this man had already arrived in front of Xi Hanxue, which really shocked her.

"Why are you here at this hour?"

Xi Hanxue put on his coat, and asked Xi'er to turn on the fire, obviously knowing that Yan Xiufeng must be in a hurry to come here, so I'm afraid it will take a while to say this.

"I can't wait until dawn, so I hurried over to discuss with you."

Xi Hanxue is his woman now, more often he is a military adviser, Yan Xiufeng believes in him very much, and has long forgotten the losses he suffered from her.

Xi Hanxue didn't ask too many questions, and listened to Yan Xiufeng explain the urgent matter.

"The third prince suddenly had doubts about the emperor's illness, and asked me to investigate the empress and concubine Hui."

Xi Hanxue was overjoyed, the war was finally about to start, and she wished to see such a situation.

"Young Master Yan can do his best to investigate. There must be some clues. The sudden appearance of Concubine Hui and her sudden favor are very strange. It must have something to do with her."

"One of them is a queen, and the other is a noble concubine. I can't just check if I say so. If something is really found out, I will be in danger."

Knowing too much is a crime. If one of them is found to be related to the emperor's serious illness, will he be safe?

"Young Master Yan, you can check it with confidence. It's fine if you don't say it from your mouth when the time comes. There are many people who want these two people to die."

"You mean the queen mother?" The queen mother will definitely be interested in this matter, but if the queen mother knows that he also knows, isn't it more dangerous?
"It's Concubine Zhao. She is perverse and simple-minded. She has always relied on the Empress Dowager to survive. Now that Concubine Hui is favored, her status has long been inferior to before. She must be the one who wants them dead the most."

Concubine Zhao is a soldier, but a pawn of the Empress Dowager. She borrows it and uses it, and can also eat one of the Empress Dowager's pawns. Wouldn't it be more interesting to watch them fight back in their nests.

"But she may not be able to find out anything. What if she tells the Queen Mother?"

"Don't the Queen Mother also want to rely on the Third Prince now? You should take the opportunity to win her over and give her the credit. In the end, the Queen Mother will not let her go."

This is a way to kill two birds with one stone. It will frustrate the Empress Dowager, help Yan Xiufeng, and follow the vine to find out what the Empress and Concubine Hui are up to.

Yan Xiufeng really sought out Concubine Zhao Guifei in private. Concubine Zhao Guifei was originally unwilling, but after Yan Xiufeng's advocacy, after some thinking, she decided to cooperate with Yan Xiufeng, and she still carried the Queen Mother behind her back.

She can't be blamed for doing this, the Queen Mother now has a scheming Xi Lingyan by her side, and now a smart Xi Changning, the resourcefulness of these two people is beyond her reach.Her role ended more than ten years ago, and later it was just the emperor's guilt towards her.

Now her status is getting worse day by day, she has to plan for herself.It was a matter of time before the third prince gained power. If he could find such a support, he would have a backer for the rest of his life.

When Zhao Guifei intervened in this matter, Xi Changning also started to investigate this matter. She always investigated it secretly, because she did not dare to let others know about it, so she could only proceed secretly, and the progress of being alone was still unsatisfactory. .

But the more she looked into this matter, she felt that the fourth prince might be right, the emperor wanted to commit suicide, but now that his health has improved, it seems unreasonable to think about it again.

Because no one discussed it, Xi Changning could only go to the fourth prince and take a look at his body.

"Changning, have you found anything?"

"Fourth prince, don't be too anxious. Now that the emperor is recovering, maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought." Xi Changning comforted.

"Changning, I... I think this matter has something to do with the second brother's mother and concubine."

Because he was worried that Xi Changning would check it alone, so he also secretly checked it. His identity was embarrassing. Before the emperor was healthy, he was the fourth prince. If he is alone, no one cares about it, but it is convenient for him.

"I am very worried about you, so I secretly observed the father in private. I found that only Concubine Hui and the father stayed together the longest, and the father's condition was only good and bad at that time."

"But this is not enough to be a criminal evidence. If you say that you spend a lot of time with the emperor and the empress, isn't that also a problem?"

Xi Changning overturned the words of the fourth prince.

"But the queen mother won't go crazy. Concubine Hui will go crazy, and she will be a completely different person."

Xi Changning couldn't understand what the fourth prince meant by going crazy.In her opinion, Concubine Hui is still that shrewd woman who does not interfere in anything and serves the emperor wholeheartedly.

"Fourth prince, can you explain more clearly, what does it mean to be crazy?"

"Concubine Hui is a different person in normal times, with a ferocious face, like a ghost."

The fourth prince didn't know how to describe the concubine Hui he saw secretly. At that time, he was so frightened that he even breathed carefully, and finally had no choice but to run away.

The second elder brother Huangfu Zimian he saw actually had a lot of similarities with Concubine Hui in expression, so Concubine Hui gave him the same dusty fairy as Huangfu Zimian, with an indifferent expression.And what I saw at that time was like a rakshasa from hell, with hatred and scarlet eyes.

Xi Changning looked at the expression of the fourth prince, and it seemed that he was not deceiving. After what he said, she felt that this scene seemed a little familiar.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in her mind. He Lianbao once took the medicine that the queen gave Hui Guifei to the pharmacy outside, and if he drank too much of this medicine, he would really go crazy.

Although Xi Changning stopped taking her medicine at that time, she had been taking it for ten years before that. Could it be that Concubine Hui... is really crazy?Then wouldn't she be very dangerous by the emperor's side, especially as the fourth prince said, she was like a Rakshasa full of hatred.

"Concubine Hui wants revenge?"

"Changning, do you know something?"

The fourth prince saw the changing expression on Xi Changning's face, and felt that she must have thought of something.

"Fourth prince, Chang Ning is not sure so he dare not say more. You should take good care of yourself and don't go out with your only son alone."

This is also for the safety of the fourth prince. He knows too much that there will be no good results. The less people who know about this matter, the better, especially in this kind of turmoil.

"I know you're doing it for my own good, and I'll do what you want."

His ability is limited, no matter how in-depth things he can find out, the rest is up to Xi Changning.

There was a voice from outside the palace gate, it was the third prince.

"I knew Chang Ning came to see my fourth brother."

"Bengong is also his sister-in-law. Seeing that he is weak, she always needs to take care of him."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xi Changning took out his own identity to talk about the matter, the third prince stared at her too closely, as if he had to know everything.

The third prince ignored her words, crossed the crowd, and came in front of the fourth prince.

"Is the fourth brother better? If you still don't feel well, I'll call the imperial doctor to show you."

"Third brother care more, I'm fine."

Although he was talking to him, he felt that he was a superfluous person.Obviously the third prince is more concerned about why Xi Changning is here.

"Fourth Prince, rest well, I won't bother you."

Xi Changning couldn't bear the eyes of the third prince, so he hurriedly saluted and left.She knew it wasn't over yet.

Sure enough, her unpleasant steps were soon followed by the third prince who chased her out.

"The third prince is very free."

"Changning, I will have dinner with you tonight."

It's not once or twice that the third prince ignored her. I don't know if he is choosing to escape, or if she didn't say it clearly enough.

In the end, Xi Changning lost because she still had to rely on the third prince to defeat those people, so she still only had to nod.

Seeing Xi Changning leave, the third prince changed the gentle expression on his face, it was very cold, and called the eunuch beside him.

"Go and get Yan Xiufeng for me."

Although such eavesdropping as a prince lowered his status, he really didn't know if God was helping him. He came to look for Xi Changning intentionally, but he heard more exciting news than a few days ago.

If the fourth prince's words are correct, and Xi Changning's unintentional words reveal, then Hui Guifei is very likely to have a mental problem. If she really did something to hurt the emperor, then there is no need for any gunpowder in this battle.

Because Huangfu Zimian would definitely choose Concubine Hui instead of the throne, this would not hurt the relationship between their brothers, after all, the second elder brother Huangfu Zimian was the one he respected most in his heart.

And emotionally, there seems to be a turning point.

As soon as Yan Xiufeng received the eunuch's message, he put down everything in his hands and rushed to see the third prince. Taking the opportunity, he invited Concubine Zhao to go with him.

Everything is in Zhao Guifei's mind, it's up to her to say it or not, all he can do is pull the strings and push the matter to her by the way.Although he is also extremely curious, it is also good for him to know less.
