Lady Changning

Chapter 167 Relief of hatred, empty joy (1)

"Young Master Yan, Mo Lian did indeed see the Second Prince and the Crown Princess together, and... and today I personally saw the Second Prince come out of the Crown Princess' bedroom."

"Mo Lian, do you know that you have to be responsible for saying this, can you see it for real?" Yan Xiufeng chuckled, could it be that Xi Hanxue really guessed it?

"Mo Lian dare not lie, besides the second prince, who else in the palace is walking around in purple robes?"

After receiving Mo Lian's affirmative answer, Yan Xiufeng was overjoyed, and after comforting Mo Lian, he walked towards the Second Prince's Hall.

Yan Xiufeng found a eunuch in the Second Prince's Palace, and asked a question after stuffing the money.

"I heard that there was a black shadow flashing past the palace last night. Is the Second Prince okay?"

"Young Master Yan, who knows. The second prince got drunk yesterday and went out alone and came back in the morning. We all thought he went to Concubine Hui in Weiyang Palace again."

"Was drunk?"

"That's right. A few palace people can't stand it. After all, they have practiced, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid that black shadow is also the second prince."

The eunuch saw that Yan Xiufeng was asking about Heiying, so he followed along. He got the money anyway, so he always wanted to say something useful.But what he said was not useful for Sombra.

The fourth prince's health has actually improved a lot, but Xi Changning didn't want to go to the third prince's place, so he found an excuse to take care of the fourth prince and talk to him by the way.

"Changning, I always feel that something is going to happen in the palace. It's been too quiet these days."

"Don't think too much about it." Xi Changning was in a good mood and didn't want to think about anything bad.

The fourth prince panicked, looking at Xi Changning with a faint smile on his lips, he always felt that she was different from usual.

"That's the smile. It was the smile when I first saw you."

Xi Changning was puzzled when she heard this, she rarely smiled in her memory, she didn't even smile, and she rarely met the fourth prince, so how could she see her smile.

The fourth prince's words reminded her of Shi Taifu asking them to paint, and the fourth prince gave her a painting. The girl in the painting had a sweet smile, but the fourth prince insisted that it was her.

"Fourth prince, have you really seen me smile?"

"Of course, but maybe you don't remember, I followed my elder brother to the Prime Minister's Mansion many years ago to find your elder brother Xi Lin. I couldn't sit still because I was too playful, so I saw you standing under a tree with beautiful flowers in the yard, and smiled silly."

That kind of smile is suitable for Xi Changning, pure and sweet, which makes people unforgettable.Who knew that when they met again, they found that the owner of such a smile was actually a cold person, serious in speech, everyone said he was a scheming person.

Xi Changning couldn't remember what she said to the fourth prince at all, but she was just curious that she could still laugh under such a difficult life.This is her in her previous life. She smiled and thought she would be fine, but in the end it was not a heart-wrenching death.

"Am I also giggling now?" Xi Changning joked.

The fourth prince looked left and then again, and nodded after the appraisal.

"I think it looks like the red luan star is moving."

Although it is a bit thoughtless to say this, the fourth prince's feeling is indeed so.

"I am a widow."

"Changning, you look so pretty when you smile." No wonder the eldest brother chose her to be the crown princess. Although there were two more side concubines later, Xi Changning's status as a sister-in-law in his heart has not changed.

Now the third brother seems to be very concerned about Changning, and he doesn't know what status Xi Changning will have in the future.

"I'm not a beauty in the first place, but I've seen many beauties, but they all left me."

Xi Changning is not a sentimental person, but when he said the words, it only added some sadness.I don't know how Ziyu and the prince are living now, and I don't know if Zimu has brought Helian Bao to the Hudi of the Western Regions.

When it comes to guilt and sadness, she used to feel the most about Ziyu, but now she feels that Helianbao should be the most guilty. Helianbao has been with her for a long time, but she didn't help her. Help her walk with Xi Lin.

In the end, she was poisoned and dumb by the queen mother, and even fed her the life-killing medicine with her own hands. Now she and Xi Lin Tianya have different corners, and they don't know the other party's life or death.

Seeing that Xi Changning's expression darkened, the fourth prince thought he had said something wrong and immediately changed the subject.

"Changning, if Concubine Hui really did something, what will Second Brother do?"

Xi Changning was overwhelmed by the fourth prince's question, and she ignored it again.

Concubine Hui is Huangfu Zimian's biological mother, if she is really convicted because of this, Huangfu Zimian will only be implicated.Had the recent joy gone to her head?Or did the indifference on his face make her feel no danger?
"Fourth prince, I'm leaving first." Xi Changning was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and said to the fourth prince, "If you don't see me to see you one day, remember to check on me secretly."

When everyone was staring at Concubine Hui, she also noticed something, but her heart had become another Gu Hongyi, leaving only hatred, even her own son Huangfu Zimian, she was indifferent as if Like strangers.

What she did not only hurt Huangfu Zimian, but also everyone who loved her.Even though Huangfu Zimian tried to stop her many times, she ignored it and kept speeding up her pace, catching her by surprise.

"Queen, why are you still here?"

"Where is the emperor, where are the concubines?" The queen who had been with her for many days was very haggard, and even so, she never left the emperor.

"Are you protecting me? Because of the red clothes?"

The emperor made it clear what the queen thought.

The queen was a little embarrassed, but she didn't deny that there were some gossips, and she was afraid of what happened. Concubine Hui was her own younger sister. The queen couldn't bear to watch her make mistakes, and couldn't bear to see the emperor lose his will because of it.

"Your majesty, you already knew that she in red had changed, became cruel and strange, so why did you... pamper her?"

The queen paused for a moment before saying the following words.

"As I get older, I can't say that kind of affectionate words, but I owe her to Hong Yizhen, and I am ashamed of the affection I once had for her."

The emperor does not need love, because he has never been short of women.But as a husband, he failed, and the most he felt about the woman he loved was guilt.

"You are the emperor, how can you give up on yourself like this? Jiangshan Sheji still needs you!"

The queen tried to stop the emperor's crazy idea, on the one hand, for the sake of the country, and on the other hand, for her own selfishness. She also loves the emperor, and she couldn't bear to watch him fall into the conspiracy of Concubine Hui.

"This is also something I can't let go of. I can't abandon the world just because of me. Now you and I who can take charge of the overall situation understand in my heart that everything will be supported by the queen in the future."

"No, your majesty, you can't be so selfish. The red clothes need you, and the courtiers need you too. The world needs you even more."

The queen could not forgive the emperor for being selfish, even if it was a matter of life and death, he could still play it lightly, and wanted to follow Gu Hongyi's wishes.

What is Gu Hongyi's wish?Her wish is to kill all those who have let her down and harmed her.But she wisely chose the most important person, the emperor.

"Go down. Don't talk too much."

The queen wiped her tears and left the emperor's bedroom. Her heart was tormented. One was the man she loved, and the other was the sister who owed her money.Which one to choose is tough.

As spring was approaching, the emperor had been ill with this disease for a long time, with good times and bad times, but he refused to let the imperial physician diagnose and treat him.

Concubine Hui felt the spirit of spring, and the bright smile on her face made it hard to associate with a lunatic.She smiled wantonly, as if all the flowers in the yard were awakened by her laughter.

But people who are familiar with her will find that there is a hint of sharpness and displeasure in her laughter.

"Red coat."

"So it's sister, you don't serve the emperor, what are you doing here?" Gu Hongyi put away her smile and looked at the queen indifferently.

A period of time has passed, and the pool of spring water looks calm, but the bottom is rolling and ready to go.

"My sister is here to beg you, stop tormenting the emperor, he is already like this."

The emperor is not the only one who suffers, no one in the palace is suffering, some are waiting for Concubine Hui to suffer, some are suffering because of the emperor, each has their own thoughts.

"I can't bear it like this? But my sister is really a bodhisattva. If I had been like this back then, I wouldn't be like this."

The emperor has recognized her, who can do anything to her?
"Red clothes, think for your own sake as well as the emperor's. How could the empress dowager tolerate you? She is just waiting for you to reveal the truth. The emperor will protect you, but she won't."

"You don't have to be hypocritical here. If you hadn't joined her to deal with me, I would have lived like that? She would have died too, so I don't need to deal with her."

Being complacent and being stabbed in the back by someone, the queen mother herself will suffer the consequences. After all, she loves power more than anything else, and the third prince won't tolerate her even if he gains power.

"Hong Yi, what about Zi Mian? He has already left you, do you still have the heart to leave him?"

The queen looked into Gu Hongyi's cold eyes, this was not a war, but a scheme to destroy everything.

"It's all of you! It's all of you who separated me from my son! It's not me!"

Gu Hongyi loudly stopped the Queen's words, it was not because of her that she separated from Zi Mian.

"Sister, you should worry about yourself. I remember that my sister is also a participant."

After hearing Gu Hongyi's words, the empress turned pale. The empress, who was already haggard because of the emperor's affairs, turned even uglier.

Gu Hongyi looked at the queen's expression with satisfaction, and left with a big smile.

But she was startled and began to make plans, these people were afraid that they were getting impatient.

Xi Changning's complexion is getting better and better, there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seems that his whole body exudes a strange brilliance.Not only other people but also herself felt that she was smiling all over her face, as if she could be so happy in this environment, it was a bit unreal.

Her life is very simple, she will go there when the third prince summons her, and go chat with the fourth prince if she is not there, and wait for Huangfu Zimian to come over to talk with her at night.

This kind of day is very quiet and illusory, but it is Xi Changning's favorite.
