Lady Changning

Chapter 198 Chapter 190 Nine Explorations (2) Xi Lingyan's Threat

"Princess Jing, if it wasn't for Mo Lian's status, I'm afraid I wouldn't be qualified to sit here and talk to you. How could it be a joke, but Mo Lian has something to say to you."

Princess Jing looked at Mo Lian, but still didn't speak. Listening to her, she wanted to hear what Mo Lian could say.

"Princess Jing, don't blame the empress, she just doesn't want you to be used by others, so isn't your true love for the prince ruined?"

Mo Lian didn't know if she would be disgusted by such a straightforward explanation.

"Did she ask you to talk about this? She should be happy in her heart now. Regardless of life or death, she is still the person in his heart. I can't compare it."

Tears slid down Princess Jing's cheeks, and the tears flowing from the corners of her lips were very salty and bitter, which made her feel bitter in her heart.

Mo Lian is not very clear about the extent of Princess Jing's affection for Huangfu Zimian, and judging by now, it should be serious.But in the face of Princess Jing's misunderstanding, she complained for Xi Changning, and if she wanted to fight for it, she would not let her come to persuade Princess Jing.

"If she really cares, it's fine, at least it won't hurt me, but she asked Mo Lian to find Princess Jing, and Mo Lian doesn't mean that the princess should understand the meaning."

Princess Jing wiped away her tears and watched Mo Lian think about this matter carefully. It was indeed the Empress Dowager who insisted on upholding justice for her. Later, she didn't ask why things seemed to deviate from her, because she cared too much about Huangfu Zimian's answer. .

"Concubine Lian, I really don't know what to do? Why can't the prince understand my feelings? I don't hate the empress, it's just that they shouldn't be together."

Princess Jing cried, she had let go of her guard against Mo Lian.

But facing Princess Jing's question, Mo Lian smiled wryly, she couldn't answer it, because her heart was for Xi Changning, and she never had to express it, maybe a few years ago she mustered up the courage to let Xi Changning go.

Xi Changning's feelings for Huangfu Zimian are by no means so unfeeling and indifferent, she has no place to express them in her heart, and Mo Lian can still feel that only the name Huangfu Zimian can arouse a little bit of true feelings in her heart.

And the emperor has done so much and still can't get into her heart, just wandering.

"Princess, Mo Lian can't answer your question. But the heart medicine still needs a heart medicine doctor, so there is no rush." ​​This is what Xi Changning told her.

Princess Jing seemed to understand, but by the time she really understood, Mo Lian had already left.

Mo Lian still followed Xi Changning like her personal maid, although Xi Changning had stated many times that she was a concubine and could do her own things.

But Mo Lian was always worried about Xi Changning and stayed by her side.

"Empress, Mo Lian doesn't quite understand anymore, are you connecting the prince and Princess Jing or..."

If it's true, it seems to be trying to test Huangfu Zimian's intentions. If not, why remind Princess Jing that she is being used?

Xi Changning smiled wryly, yes, what happened to her?If you want to hook up, you can do whatever you want, but why is she so reluctant to let go, she seems to have no way to let go of Huangfu Zimian at all.I thought I would just have to come back and take a look.

"Mo Lian, I can't do it at all." It's impossible to hand him over to another woman, but she can't take care of herself, "But if it can't be done, I have to do it!"

Although his memory is incomplete, Huangfu Zimian is still the least scheming person in this palace. The person who can take care of him and reassure Xi Changning is Princess Jing.

The second half of Xi Changning's sentence was particularly emphatic, as if he was making up his mind, and Mo Lian could hear it clearly, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be meaningful to ask this question again in the future.

"Mo Lian, go and take care of the emperor, I don't want to see anyone."

"But...Mo Lian, I understand."

As soon as Mo Lian left, Xi Changning covered her heart, a mouthful of black blood spattered on her dress, wondering if she was about to be relieved, but she actually laughed, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes when she smiled.

It was night, the man who walked into the house covered the pale girl on the bed with a quilt, and lay beside her with all her clothes on.Then he carefully pulled her into his arms.

"Changning, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Mo Lian is right, if it is too cruel to force Xi Changning to do this, why let a person she is trying to forget join her life.

In a daze, Xi Changning thought that he had returned to Hengshan Village again, living a life where the sun rose and went in and rested, and thought that he was snuggling into Huangfu Zimian's arms again at this moment.

She was in tears, too scared it was just a dream.Even if it was a dream, don't let her wake up so quickly.

Waking up early in the morning, Mo Lian came to tell her that the emperor planned to let Huangfu Zimian decide not to force her, and also removed Xi Changning's status as a "matchmaker".

Xi Changning reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that this seemed too simple, and he was afraid that Xi Lingyan and the Empress Dowager would die in a hurry.

Just as Xi Changning thought, the Empress Dowager and Xi Lingyan couldn't help but panic when they saw that their plan had failed, especially Xi Lingyan.Recently, Mo Lian has been taking care of the emperor, I am afraid that her involvement in this matter is inevitable.

"I will definitely not let this matter pass like this. I don't believe that Xi Changning can let Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing be together so carelessly."

Her distorted love for the emperor has become irresistible, especially since Xi Changning decided to bring a court lady into the harem.The emperor would rather believe the words of a court lady than look at her more.

Xi Lingyan now also understands that the empress dowager is a person. Ever since her power has been reduced by the emperor, she has not dared to confront her head-on. If she does not step forward, the empress dowager will not help her.

"Empress Dowager, the concubine has a plan to make Xi Changning show off her fox tail, and also make Princess Jing and the prince a couple."

The Empress Dowager ignored her, this Xi Lingyan didn't seem to be of much use now, she was able to fight Xi Changning before, but now she just came up with some bad ideas.

"Please the Empress Dowager trust my concubine again."

"Lingyan, have you ever thought that you really can't beat Xi Changning? Now even Princess Jing has come to Bengong and said that she won't force Huangfu Zimian anymore, she would rather fight for it by herself."

The Empress Dowager also said that Princess Jing was stupid, but she had served her for many years, and she had agreed to this earlier, so it's hard to say much now.

"With Xi Changning around, how could Princess Jing win it?" In Xi Lingyan's eyes, Xi Changning was like a snake and scorpion, always coveting other people's men.

The Empress Dowager always refused to pay attention to her. Now Xi Lingyan is like a defeated rooster. She has no value in this palace. If she hadn't had Jiang Miaoer's son, she would have taken action without waiting for others to clean it up.

"Xi Lingyan, I will tell you one more thing. If you have the ability, go to Xi Changning to fight. Don't think that I will help you. How much do you think I can trust you? Help you? A joke!"

Xi Lingyan was almost kneeling on the ground, but the empress dowager's words hit her vital point. She could not accept the comparison with Xi Changning everywhere, and now it seems that her failures are helping others to correct such words.

"I will prove that I am better than Xi Changning, you all just wait and see."

The Empress Dowager still looked at Xi Lingyan as if she was watching a joke, and she didn't laugh until Xi Changning left unruly.She always felt that the palace was too quiet, and now she was waiting to see a good show.

When Xi Lingyan rushed in to find Xi Changning, she completely ignored their identities and met like enemies.

"Xi Changning, aren't you smart? Then guess how I got Princess Jing and your lover together? You'd better think about it quickly, or you'll be waiting to drink their wedding bar when the sun rises tomorrow. "

Xi Lingyan smiled arrogantly, especially when she found that only Xi Changning and Mo Lian were in the bedroom.

"Concubine Hua, don't be presumptuous!" Mo Lian stopped her.

"Shut up! Do you really think you're the master? You're just a court lady, I really look down on a maid like you from the bottom of my heart!"

Xi Lingyan's words made Mo Lian's face turn red, and she couldn't answer a word for a while.

"Xi Changning, you'd better think quickly, the sun is going to set soon. And I also heard that the emperor is coming."

After leaving such a sentence, Xi Lingyan left incomparably briskly. She wanted Xi Changning to face such a dilemma, with the emperor on one side and Huangfu Zimian on the other.

After all, the two of them used to be sisters, and Xi Changning's speechlessness and indifference further showed that she couldn't let go of Huangfu Zimian at all.

Mo Lian was worried that Xi Lingyan would talk nonsense outside, and wanted to catch up to stop her, but was stopped by Xi Changning.

"Don't go."

"Empress, the emperor has doubts about the matter between you and the prince. If Concubine Hua talks nonsense, what will you do?"

Mo Lian analyzed the current situation and felt that Xi Lingyan was broken.

Xi Changning ignored it but kept thinking about what Xi Lingyan left behind, what exactly did she want to do, why was she so sure that Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing would be together?
As for why she is not worried about the emperor, one is the emperor's guilt towards Huangfu Zimian, his affection for Huangfu Zimian is not only about brotherhood, but more about respect. People are going to expose the big lie that Huangfu Shenqian told.

The second is Huangfu Shenqian's feelings for her. The matter between her and Huangfu Zimian was plain, he knew it very well, but he still listened to her words and welcomed her into the palace as a queen.

Mo Lian saw that Xi Changning was not in a hurry, but she herself was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Mo Lian went to see if the prince entered the palace today."

"Empress, you can't meddle in this matter!" Seeing Xi Changning, Mo Lian still decided to intervene, and firmly disagreed.

"If you don't go, I will go by myself."

After saying that, Xi Changning got up and prepared to prove it himself, but Mo Lian hurriedly stopped him.

"Ma'am, aren't you jumping into Concubine Hua's pit? It's better for the concubine to take a look."

Maybe it was because this matter was really urgent, Mo Lian came and went quickly, and she originally wanted to explain to the people below, but she was still worried, and she was used to working hard.

But she herself didn't find out anything, but Xiao He who was following her saw the difference, which was her negligence.

"Concubine Lian, the prince entered the palace but didn't know where he went. You don't need to talk about it, but I asked the maid that Princess Lian Jing entered the palace and didn't know where she went. Isn't that very suspicious?"

Mo Lian wanted to know where Huangfu Zimian had gone, so she didn't have time to ask Princess Jing about it. Fortunately, Xiao He had an extra thought.

But thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid Xi Lingyan really used some trick to make the two meet together, but what happened?
"Xiao He, you go to see Concubine Hua. If you have any news, report to Fengzao Palace immediately."

Watching Xiao He leave, Mo Lian lingered outside Xi Changning's door, still unable to figure out what was going on, but felt that she couldn't tell the truth about this matter to Xi Changning, what if she was really fooled?

"Mo Lian, come in."

The sound scared Mo Lian into a cold sweat, and entered the hall cautiously.

"Wang Ye and Princess Jing are both in the palace, right? But you don't seem to want to tell me."

All of Xi Changning's guesses were correct, leaving Mo Lian with no chance to lie, so he simply refused to speak out.

Seeing that Mo Lian refused to disclose, Xi Changning knew that she had guessed nine out of ten, so she stood up abruptly, ready to go out to check by herself.

"Your Majesty, Mo Lian won't let you out of this door." Mo Lian firmly grasped Xi Changning's clothes.

Xi Changning ignored Mo Lian and did not know where the strength came from, and pulled with Mo Lian.But her thin body was never Mo Lian's opponent, she staggered and fell to the ground.

"What do you know? I came back to see him! I can't last long, I'm dying, do you know that!"

Xi Changning yelled and even kicked Mo Lian with his feet.

Mo Lian still grabbed Xi Changning, but because of her words, she was stunned and didn't know how to recover.

"What did you say, Empress?"

"I'm dying, do you know? Otherwise, why would I promote you, or why I couldn't let him go, I shouldn't be back! I shouldn't be back!"

Xi Changning doesn't know how a normal person can understand how sad it is for a person who has no heart and no feelings to suffer.

Mo Lian didn't even understand the feeling of counting down lives.

At this moment, Mo Lian loosened Xi Changning's clothes, she helped Xi Changning up, shed tears for some reason, she finally understood why Xi Changning arranged everyone properly step by step.

"I'm going to drag the emperor."

"Thank you, Mo Lian. You will understand some things later."

Xi Changning didn't have time to explain so much, her only thought was to find Huangfu Zimian, even though she knew it was Xi Lingyan's trap.

"Your Majesty, if what you said is true, then why did you go to him? Isn't it better to have Princess Jing?"

Xi Changning was slightly taken aback, what Mo Lian said was good, but she still couldn't let go of her selfishness, everything she came back for revenge was fake, the only thing she wanted to do was to look at him.

Mo Lian still looked at Xi Changning with a glimmer of hope, even a little bit of hope, don't go.But she was disappointed, and Xi Changning left by himself.

The first place Xi Changning went to was Xi Lingyan's bedroom. Xi Lingyan was drinking tea leisurely, and she knew that Xi Changning would come to her.

"Xi Changning, you lost. In the end, I won."

Xi Changning can understand Xi Lingyan's mentality. Xi Lingyan has been compared with her all the time. It is understandable that she is upset, but Xi Changning told her all this very early on. It is wrong to help, and it is wrong not to help.

Maybe Xi Lingyan has become selfish long ago.

"where is he?"

"You're so worried about him, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know? You hypocritically agreed to tie the knot for him, an excuse! Didn't you destroy their chance to be together?"

Xi Lingyan laughed, her cute appearance was gone, as long as Xi Changning appeared, she would have won.Huangfu Shenqian can bear Xi Changning's indifference, but he absolutely cannot bear Xi Changning choosing Huangfu Zimian instead of him again.

Xi Changning suddenly became less anxious, and instead drank tea with Xi Lingyan after finishing it. Her gestures made people very puzzled, and Xi Lingyan was also confused.

"Second Sister, I think you and I have been friendly and hostile along the way. I've always been merciful because you are Third Aunt's daughter, but..."

Xi Changning poured tea for Xi Lingyan, and poured a cup for himself, with a cold light in his eyes.

"However, this time I don't think it's necessary. If I have a way to let you enter the palace, I can also let you go out."

Xi Lingyan visibly trembled under her gaze, and even flinched.

"Do you think you still have this ability? After today, either they will be together, or you will die."

Hearing death, Xi Changning actually laughed out loud, this is not a big deal to her at all, she has died a long time ago, and now she is only one step away from death.

"Xi Lingyan, you are so stupid!"

Xi Changning's pale fingertips pinched Xi Lingyan's chin unexpectedly, and looked at her with big eyes, wishing to pierce her.Another hand brushed her temple.Xi Lingyan originally thought that she had enough courage to face Xi Changning, but she didn't expect that she would be defeated with just one glance.

When Xi Changning left Xi Lingyan's bedroom, the smell of blood rushed to her throat, and she swallowed it forcefully. She thought she was calm enough, but she couldn't calm down when facing her sister who betrayed her. The impulsiveness devoured her rationality and calmness little by little, and now she even threatened her with the matter of Huangfu Zimian, how calm she was!

There are palace walls all around, the palace is too big, so big that she is insignificant here, where will Xi Lingyan hide her, and what is her plan?
"Empress, the servant girl is Xiaohe, the maid of the Concubine Lian, and the Concubine Lian asked the servant to tell the empress where the person the empress is looking for is."

Xiaohe?Looking at this unremarkable court lady in front of him, Xi Changning fortunately recognized that she was indeed Mo Lian's personal court lady. Mo Lian often arranged for Xiao He to do things, and seemed very relieved of her.

Xi Changning didn't say much, and immediately asked Xiao He to lead the way, and Xiao He also led Xi Changning away neatly.Explain as you go.

"Concubine Lian asked the maidservant to take the empress around for a while, otherwise I might meet the emperor."

Go around?Xi Changning immediately realized that the surrounding scenery was very familiar, could it be that Xi Lingyan locked them in...
