Lady Changning

Chapter 202 Returning to Hucheng and meeting Zimu

It was rumored inside and outside the palace that the emperor was very kind to the empress, but why was she still so haggard and thin?
"Mo Lian, your courage is getting bigger and bigger."

It may be because Xi Yu was present, so Xi Changning didn't explain clearly, nor did he look at Huangfu Zimian.

Mo Lian bravely glanced at Xiao He, then at Xi Yu.

"Xiao He, take Master Xi down."

Although Xi Yu refused, seeing that Xi Changning did not speak, he obediently walked out of the palace gate.

"Empress, Mo Lian just doesn't want you to have an accident, even if she resorts to extreme methods."

Mo Lian pulled Huangfu Zimian, and quickly walked in front of Xi Changning in a few steps. She felt Huangfu Zimian's body trembling behind her. Maybe even if she didn't remember, that memory couldn't be erased from her heart.

Xi Changning was already powerless to resist, all her strength was concentrated on thinking, her body was just a burden to her, Huangfu Zimian easily grabbed her hand.

"How could this be? Are you giving up on yourself?"

I don't know if it's the nature deep in his memory, but he firmly believes in the result of his pulse, that Xi Changning is committing suicide.

"Since Concubine Lian is looking for you, I accept her favor. You only need to prescribe the medicine, and don't care about the rest."

"Concubine Lian, can I ask you to go out first?"

Huangfu Zimian ignored Xi Changning's sharp words and said something to Mo Lian.

Mo Lian looked at Xi Changning, and left the hall with peace of mind, hoping that Xi Changning could seize the opportunity well.

Huangfu Zimian walked up to Xi Changning who was sitting on the phoenix seat, and put his hand on her wrist again, Xi Changning did not resist anymore.

"I know you, right? And very familiar, because I had a strange feeling when I saw you. Although each of you is making up a beautiful lie for me, my heart understands."

Xi Changning was indifferent, but his heart was already churning. Yes, the heart is the most clear and the most powerful evidence, because his heart belongs to hers.

She suddenly felt that a pair of warm hands held hers, and a warm current was introduced from the palms of the hands, and gradually spread throughout the whole body, and the overwhelmed body tortured by toxins finally felt a little relief.

She turned her cheek to look at him, he still looked like a dusty man, even if he was wearing the clothes of a servant, he still couldn't conceal his temperament, she stretched out her hand to caress this longing face, feeling a pain in her heart, Warm fluid dripped from the corners of his eyes.

"Zimian, don't ask. We don't know each other. We used to be, we are now, and we will be in the future."

Huangfu Zimian really didn't ask any more questions, he didn't stop until her body couldn't bear the energy, but he didn't let go of her hand.

"Take care of yourself, and I'll leave you a prescription."

Xi Changning felt a chill in her palm, his hand left her, and the cold feeling spread all over her body again, she tried her best to endure all this, but such eagerness made her unable to control it, just like seeing her master elated Get up, spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood.

Seeing this, Huangfu Zimian disregarded her identity, stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, the feeling of familiarity lingered in his heart, they really were familiar, and that kind of familiarity definitely surpassed their current identities.

The two looked at each other but were interrupted by Xi Yu who came in suddenly.

"The second sister is here."

"The matter of Yu'er is no small matter, are you ready?" Xi Changning confirmed repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yu ignored it and was about to go out to meet Xi Lingyan, but Xi Changning stopped him.

"Tell Concubine Hua, I am tired, so you can let her go. Concubine Lian will take care of you."

Xi Yu knew that Xi Changning was acquiescing to him to do this, and perhaps there was no one who could confuse the enemy more than him. Before he left, he couldn't help but glance at Huangfu Zimian, feeling that he and Xi Changning something in between.

"You go back too."

Huangfu Zimian is very knowledgeable. Obviously, he has no intention of staying in the current situation. First of all, Xi Changning will never tell him anything, including no one in this palace who dares to tell him the truth. There is only one person who has such ability , the emperor Huangfu Shenqian.

The second Xi Yu's appearance is also unusual, and he was flustered by Concubine Hua Xi Lingyan's appearance just now, there must be something wrong.

According to Xi Changning's plan, Xi Yu told Xi Lingyan about Xi Changning's rest, and it didn't matter to Xi Lingyan who was going for him, so he proposed to go to her palace to do something, and he went without hesitation.

But Xi Yu didn't let Mo Lian follow him. He knew very well that Mo Lian was just Xi Changning's last move because he was worried. He didn't want Xi Changning to look down on him. He wanted to prove to her and his mother that he was no longer a small child.

Mo Lian was a little restless and worried that Huangfu Zimian's identity would be exposed by Xi Lingyan, so she took Huangfu Zimian and left first.

Xi Yu was not anxious at all, compared to Xi Lingyan, who was thinking about Xi Yu's purpose of entering the palace again before even serving a glass of water.

"Yu'er, you have entered the palace again. Is there something wrong with the Empress?"

Xi Yu knew how to whet other people's appetites. He looked flustered at first, then shook his head and said no. Xi Lingyan naturally felt something strange after seeing it.

"Yu'er, can't even the second sister be trusted?"

On the surface, Xi Yu seemed to have had a lot of ideological struggle before he told Xi Lingyan what Xi Changning had explained.

"Second sister, have you made fourth sister unhappy? Otherwise, why don't you let me tell you about such a big thing?"

Xi Yu asked in a low voice, looking very innocent.

Xi Lingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then even put on a cute and pitiful look, but she was somewhat similar to Xi Hanxue, which was also hateful.

"Yu'er, there is some misunderstanding between me and your fourth sister, I will explain it clearly. If you tell me, maybe I can help her too, so as to resolve the misunderstanding between us sisters."

What she said was very reasonable, but her selfishness had long been exposed in front of Xi Yu, and she just felt that Xi Yu might not understand it as a child.

Xi Yu laughed foolishly, but there was a disgust in his heart that didn't belong to his age.

"This matter is no small matter. Second sister, please don't say that I said it. My mother saw a person exactly like the eldest sister on the street, and then followed her, and found that she was actually the eldest sister. The eldest sister is not dead."

Xi Yu's expression was extremely exaggerated, dancing with hands and feet, but even if it wasn't like this, these few words of his were enough to scare Xi Lingyan's face livid.

"Five...Auntie is sure?"

"Of course, my mother followed up on this matter for several days. The second sister told you the truth, the day the eldest sister returned to the mansion, she went to confirm this matter. Who knew that someone messed it up later."

Xi Yu muttered the second half of the sentence, but each word made Xi Lingyan's whole body stiff. She clenched her trembling hands, but she couldn't predict what would happen next.

"There are more terrible things, but the fourth sister said that this matter must not be said. Second sister, don't embarrass me."

Xi Yu's words aroused Xi Lingyan's interest again. If there is something more serious than Xi Hanxue being alive, I am afraid that she is the only reason why she survived.

"Yu'er, you've already said so much, and you don't care about this matter."

"Second sister, fourth sister said that she wants to help the emperor solve problems. This matter is related to the royal face, so she can just come forward. Besides, isn't second sister a concubine? Don't you want to listen to the queen?"

Difficult... Could it be that Xi Changning secretly went to check it by himself because of this idea?Queen?If it wasn't for her, the position of queen should be hers, and she was the third prince's concubine back then.

Xi Lingyan forgot her previous panic about this matter for a while, she stood up vigorously and turned her back to Xi Yu, fearing that her expression would reveal herself.

After she calmed down completely, she turned around and smiled at Xi Yu.

"The matter of Yu'er is very important. Don't tell anyone about it, even tell me about it."

Xi Yu nodded ignorantly.

Next, Xi Lingyan was completely absent-minded. What Xi Yu said was nothing more than a family matter, and it didn't attract Xi Lingyan at all, so he got up and left, and when he left, he looked like an adult.

"Second sister, if it were you, how would you solve this matter?"

Xi Lingyan was confused by Xi Yu's expression, and then pretended to be relaxed.

"Naturally, I want to solve problems for the emperor."

She said the emperor, but she never mentioned Xi Changning as the empress.Xi Yu hummed lightly and left.

On the other hand, Mo Lian sent Huangfu Zimian to Xi Yu's carriage and waited for Xi Yu, without saying anything along the way.

"I thought Concubine Lian would not be able to stand it any longer and say something."

Mo Lian suddenly felt that she couldn't understand Huangfu Zimian in front of her. She said that he was simple but had a little sense of seeing through people, and said that he was out of the world but was very affectionate.

Mo Lian realized that she had lost her composure, she withdrew her gaze from looking at him, and glanced aside.

"I have told you everything I can tell you. There are some things that you don't need to know too clearly."

In exchange, Mo Lian had already told Huangfu Zimian the last thing to say, and the rest was up to him.Mo Lian stopped talking, turned and left.

Huangfu Zimian watched her leave, his mind was full of Xi Changning crying, so familiar, but he still couldn't remember it.

During the time when Xi Yu arrived, Huangfu Zimian thought a lot. If he continued to live without knowing anything, he couldn't predict what he would lose.So he had to make some plans of his own.

After Xi Yu came back, they didn't communicate with each other, they were all thinking about the things in their hearts.

Only a certain person in the corner had a treacherous smile on his lips. Huangfu Shenqian asked Yan Xiufeng to monitor him for no reason. Now it seems that Xi Changning's position will not last long.

The palace fell into an unprecedented silence. Everyone hid in the darkness and waited for an opportunity. No one knew what would happen.But everyone knows very well in their hearts that they may become someone else's prey at any moment.

"I want to go to Hucheng."

Huangfu Shenqian looked happily at Xi Changning who took the initiative. He had never seen her approach him so actively, let alone through the bridge of Mo Lian.

"I've already given you the waist card. You are the queen and you can decide for yourself."

"You are the emperor, I should tell you anyway. So, will you accompany me?"

Faced with Xi Changning's invitation, Huangfu Shenqian can be said to be flattered. Did Xi Changning figure it out?Are you willing to follow him sincerely?

He agreed without thinking too much, and immediately put down the government affairs at hand to prepare to leave the palace. Originally, he wanted to leave the palace in a low-key manner, but Xi Changning said that he was afraid that those ministers would think it was her idea and would not let her go , and gave up this thought.

They left the palace with a lot of guards, and Mo Lian also left the palace at the same time. For Xi Changning and Huangfu Shenqian, Mo Lian was a bridge and an indispensable right and left arm of Xi Changning.

"Why did the empress leave the palace at this time? Do you still want to take the risk to check on Xi Hanxue's affairs?"

Mo Lian hasn't been able to sleep well for the past few days, and she is very worried, because Xi Changning didn't tell her all the plans this time, which means that the part that cannot be told is full of danger.

"Mo Lian, don't worry, someone will investigate Xi Hanxue's matter, I just really miss the old scenery of Hucheng."

Since Xi Hanxue told Xi Lingyan about Xi Hanxue, she must have been busy looking for someone to check it out, but unfortunately Xi Changning used to advise her, but now she is tearing her face apart, the only person she can find is the Empress Dowager, so it’s good to be together It's easy to clean up.

Mo Lian clearly knew that she had something to hide from her, but she couldn't produce any evidence, so she could only wait and see what happened.

Because of Huangfu Shenqian's will, Hucheng was restored to its original appearance very early, and it was rigidly stipulated that Hu merchants could only trade here, so it was difficult for Hucheng to be lively.

Hu Cheng kneeling on both sides has different looks, which somewhat brings back Xi Changning's memories of Hu Cheng, and the mood will naturally be more comfortable after thinking about beautiful things.

Because officials were set up in Hucheng, I knew they were coming, and I made preparations very early. Xi Changning looked around and the place where the officials are now stationed is the former Zifu. The plaque on the door of the Zifu has long since disappeared. where.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is a bit tired."

"Go back to Empress Empress, a good room has been prepared for you here for rest, so let the servants take Empress there." The official stepped forward and said fawningly.

Huangfu Shenqian nodded, put aside other people's eyes, put his arms around Xi Changning and followed the people.The meaning of pity has been made to make others feel embarrassed to take a second look.

At the end, Huangfu Shenqian picked her up and gently placed her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, looked at her pale cheeks, and felt pity in his heart.

"Do you really don't want the imperial doctor to see it?" She has been like this for a day or two, but she refuses to be seen by the imperial doctor anyway.

"I'm just tired."

Xi Changning's voice was very soft, so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, you would have no idea what she was talking about. Maybe she was really tired.He was already in poor health, and he had to ride in a bumpy carriage.

Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Huangfu Shenqian stopped talking to her and walked out of the room by himself.

Xi Changning, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, was left in the whole room, and the silence was a little scary, because Xi Changning's breathing was so soft that it seemed as if it didn't exist.

It wasn't until the veil moved slightly that Xi Changning opened her eyes, but her eyes didn't look around but were looking forward to something. When the phantom-like person in front of her stood clearly in front of her, her eyes opened. toggled.

"Purple wood."

"it's me."

Zimu thought that he had adjusted his mentality to see her, but in comparison, he was the one who was excited, and he couldn't control his flustered heartbeat.Especially when he saw her pale face and emaciated appearance, he even blamed himself for leaving her for letting her become like this.

"Did he treat you badly?"

Who he is referring to is not so important anymore, the important thing is that Xi Changning's life is not good, even very bad.

"It came sooner than I expected."

Xi Changning ignored his question, stood up by herself, and stood in front of him, although this seemingly simple action was very difficult for her to do.

Zimu stepped forward to help her, and happened to feel her pulse with his hand, and looked at Xi Changning in disbelief, how could a person live for so long with such a pulse?

Xi Changning originally wanted to shake off his unintentional movements, she has not yet fallen to the point of needing help, she is not dead yet.But Zimu has practiced before, his strength is so great, and controlling people like Xi Changning is even more trivial.

He took out the medicine on his body and pushed her to take it irresistibly.

"Don't worry, I won't ask any more questions. This medicine is the detoxification pill from the Western Regions. Although it can't cure the poison on your body, its effect of suppressing toxicity is much better than the medicine from the Central Plains."

According to Zimu, Xi Changning did feel that his body is not so heavy, but this is not what she cares about.

Zimu's appearance was something she expected, Hucheng was rebuilt, as the former young master of Hucheng, he must have noticed it, and it was inevitable to come to check, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.

"We have been hiding in Hucheng and waiting for you for half a month."

"Us?" Is there anyone else?
Zimu paused, trying to organize his thoughts and explain these seemingly simple things but he didn't know where to start.

"I've already found my family, and my surname is Helian. Xi Lin has also found Bao'er."

What he said in the end was just such a simple word, too detailed explanation is not suitable for him.

Xi Changning could see the clue from his perplexed eyes. The surname of Helian was rare in the first place, and it was not easy for Helian Bao to be so downcast as a Helian clan. The Helianbao family is noble.

"Zimu, I think I thought of you only when I had nowhere to go. I drove you away in the first place because I wanted to never see each other again. The scene of seeing you now is still the same as yesterday. It's a pity that I am not me anymore."

Xi Changning's face was as cold as ice, and it was hard to see what kind of emotion she was using to say this sentence.But Zimu knew in his heart that it was hard to change what had been decided.

"I think I did one thing right. I'll use death for you to remember me. It doesn't matter if you change. I haven't changed and I haven't changed."

He didn't care about anything, even if he was a slave, he would willingly stand behind her and follow her like a shadow.

"Take me away."

Xi Changning just wanted to find a quiet place to die quietly, as if she never existed in this world, because she should have died a long time ago.

"it is good."

　Don't abandon me, everyone, support me a lot, support me a lot.
