Lady Changning

Chapter 67 Deadlock (1)

Prince?Hearing this name, Xi Changning was slightly taken aback. Ever since the second prince returned to the palace, the prince has stopped looking for her. There have been rumors from outsiders that the prince is tired of Xi Changning. Although he has been seated in the seat of the prince, the prince has already liked the new and hated the old. .

When Xi Changning reappeared in the womb, Xi Lin left.Asked him why, Xi Lin only said that the prince wanted to see you alone. Originally, Xi Lin should have refused based on the distinction between men and women, but he was ashamed of Xi Changning, so he wanted to match the prince and Xi Changning.

Outside the hall, Eunuch Ji pushed open the door and signaled Xi Changning to go in.Xi Changning had no choice but to step in, and a smell of medicine came to his nostrils.This scene is very familiar.

"You came."

A feeble voice came from the golden bed, and Xi Changning couldn't believe that it was the stubborn prince.

"Changning sees the prince."

He lifted her up with both hands, and met those stubborn eyes, but his usual arrogance was much less.It must be sick.

"I'm sick." The prince's pale lips parted and closed slightly.

Even the nature of illness is like this, sometimes it is really like a child.

"Changning help me." This must be the main purpose of the prince looking for her.

"Prince, please speak."

In my memory, the prince died suddenly on the eve of the wedding, and it seems that he was also sick. As for why the wedding was rushed, it was probably because of the joy.

"The woman in white."

Huangfu Xuanyi went crazy, he himself didn't know why he was obsessed, it was not the woman in white, but the person in his mind who was willing to give up for her.

And the woman in white is just the only way to keep another person, he really needs someone to replace him, and the candidate for this person can only be him.

"I do not know."

I thought that no one would ask about the woman in white anymore, but after such a long time the prince also asked, who is this woman in white?The emperor, the second prince, and the prince are all very persistent. Maybe only the queen knows, but Xi Changning knows that the queen didn't summon her, so he doesn't want her to ask more questions. Otherwise, why bother to hide the woman in white?

"Changning! I know you know! No matter who refuses to let you, you must help me find out, otherwise you will never have me as a backer!"

threaten?The prince's words revealed threats everywhere.He was persecuting her, put away his cynical smile, his eyes were piercing and hurt, he seemed to have something on his mind.

Xi Changning ignored the prince's threat and paused.

"It's useless for the prince to threaten, I really don't know." Even if it is easier to check the identity of the prince?

The prince snorted coldly, and sat back on the golden bed with difficulty.

"Changning is really a person who will not suffer. I can satisfy your request. I can satisfy you no matter what."

This may be the restriction of being a prince, there is no way to personally investigate many things, and it may not attract attention if there is someone to help.

"Deal." Not only the prince, she also wanted to know who the woman in white was.

"You, you...cough cough..."

The prince coughed deeply twice, Xi Changning got a glass of water and handed it over.

"Is the prince's eagerness related to the person named Liuli?"

The water glass shook in his hand, the water spilled and smudged on his clothes.Silence is the real answer.

Coming out of the East Palace, Xi Changning sighed deeply, thinking deep down, she was still a little sad, if she wanted to get something, she had to exchange and sacrifice, and her biggest bargaining chip was actually herself.

Walking on the road of the palace, the eunuchs and court ladies were familiar with her and saluted her, which fully demonstrated Xi Changning's status in the palace.But this is a road of no return. Once you set foot on it, don't even think about going back.

The isolated island in her memory was right in front of her, and what she didn't expect was that someone had arrived there before her.Xi Changning dodged and hid behind a big tree, seeing someone leading a boat, the group crossed the river.Xi Changning didn't come out until he hid in the isolated island.

She found a fairly clean step and sat quietly, waiting for the group of people to appear.

island.

"Sister." The woman in white flusteredly combed her hair which she didn't know how to mess up. She knew that she was sick like a madman.

"Red coat."

The woman in palace attire called softly to the woman in white, and with her hurried steps, the phoenix steps swayed between her buns.

"I haven't seen you come to see me recently." The woman in white took off her veil with peace of mind, revealing a stunning face, with eyebrows and eyes similar to those of women in palace clothes.

"The palace has been very busy recently, so I have time to visit you today, and I brought your favorite pastries from home. Si Qing, bring them here quickly."

"It's the Empress." Si Qing presented the food box.

Yes, the woman in palace attire is the current empress, Gu Qingyi.Then the sister in the mouth should have died ten years ago, Concubine Gu Hui, Gu Hongyi.

Back then, following Ehuang and Nvying's example, both married into the emperor who was still the prince, but the two had different temperaments, the older sister took care of the overall situation, while the younger sister was another extreme, stubbornly determined and refused to give in.As for why Gu Hongyi behaved like this, that was another story.

"Sister, I don't remember again. After I went crazy, I woke up and didn't remember anything. I can't remember anything. Can you ask the imperial doctor to show me?" Gu Hongyi rubbed her still aching head.

The queen's hand holding the pastry trembled slightly, and her face was not as happy as when she came in earlier.

"Hongyi, the imperial doctor said before that you have a stubborn illness, maybe it can't be cured. Maybe this is also good, at least you won't have any more troubles."

Gu Hongyi nodded, she had already asked three times, and if she continued to ask, there would be no results. She knew that her sister was doing it for her own good, and maybe her sister was right, and she forgot what should be forgotten every time she got sick, but She seemed to have forgotten even what she shouldn't have forgotten.

"Sister, I seem to have forgotten something very important, there are people."

The queen and Si Qing exchanged glances, Si Qing was also sensible, and went up to tell an interesting story that happened in the palace to divert Gu Hongyi's attention smoothly.

While the queen was relieved, she remembered one thing.

"Xi Changning, have you seen it?"

Gu Hongyi began to search in her mind, her memory would be confused every time because of that blank memory that couldn't be filled in, and then she would go crazy, and when she woke up, she didn't know what she did or said when she went crazy.Fortunately, Xi Changning saw it when he was not crazy, maybe he saw it when he was crazy, but he didn't remember it.

"The little girl in red?"

A very special little girl, stubborn and calm, I feel like I know such a person with her.

"How about promising her to Xuan Yi?"

"Not good. Because I've also taken a fancy to her, who am I going to promise her to...why? Why do I feel like I can't speak?" Gu Hongyi's mind became confused again.

The queen has a child, and she, Gu Hongyi, has no children. Who can she promise that little girl to?But she felt that she almost said the man's name just now.

"Sister, don't laugh at me. I can't remember, I just said it casually. I also like that little girl, and I will definitely help Xuan Yi in the future." Gu Hongyi thought about it and could only change her words.

The queen was startled when she heard the previous words, and was really afraid of what she would think of.Hearing what Gu Hongyi said later, he smiled again.

"You feel good, and so am I. You didn't say anything to her, did you?"

Seeing the Queen's question, Gu Hongyi shook his head.My elder sister once told her that there are many people who care about high positions. Her illness happened suddenly. She was afraid that people would make irresponsible remarks, and she was afraid that others would not take good care of her, so she left her in the palace. And this isolated island is The only place she can move around.Because she once heard a maid who took care of her talk about how she looked when she was crazy, she was so scared that she dared not ask to leave the island, and those court ladies who made irresponsible remarks disappeared.

The isolated island was originally used to detain the guilty concubine and the guilty court lady, but she was the only one left on the island unknowingly, perhaps it was deliberately arranged by the empress.It's just that I didn't expect to live here for ten years.

Seeing that Gu Hongyi had something on her mind, the queen couldn't ask any more questions, as long as she didn't leave the island, she would agree to anything.In fact, it's not that she wants to keep her on the island for the rest of her life, it's just that the current situation outside is a secret rivalry, and she won't let Gu Hongyi take risks if she is not fully sure.

"Hongyi, wait a little longer." The queen comforted Gu Hongyi.

Gu Hongyi nodded, she had heard this sentence for ten years.Whether it's true or not, she accepts it.

The queen left some things and left with others, but Gu Hongyi didn't go out to give them away, because she was afraid that she wanted to go out with her, but she was also afraid that her madness would relapse.

As soon as the queen got off the boat at the shore, she saw Xi Changning in red go forward to salute.

"Changning, see the empress."

"Get up, I am still wondering when you will come to me."

Fengzao Palace

Xi Changning stayed in the palace all the time, because the empress invited her to dinner, although it was just a name, but it was one step closer to her helping the crown prince.

It's just that maybe she thought too well, the queen didn't plan to tell her anything, at least about the woman in white, she still didn't ask anything.

"Empress, who is the woman in white?" Xi Changning asked straight to the point.

The queen bowed her head to eat, and Si Qing beside her was also expressionless. Xi Changning knew that the empress had arranged for her to meet the woman in white, but why didn't she want to tell her about the woman in white?

"An old acquaintance. If Chang Ning wants to know, there is no need to ask any more. I don't want to say that no one can force me."

The empress's words are already obvious, don't ask too much.

"Chang Ning is just curious, why did your mother let Chang Ning know about this person and not let Chang Ning know who she is?"

The queen put down the ivory chopsticks and sighed slightly.She really gambled big this time, and actually placed her bet on a 13-year-old girl.

"Assisting the prince well, this matter is not easy to explain in a few words, but you will naturally know when the time comes. Before that, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't know anyone."

The queen raised her eyebrows, majestic yet solemn.Xi Changning himself never imagined that he would be threatened by two people in one day, mother and son.

The crown prince wants to know about the woman in white, but the queen is unwilling to tell now. The other person who knows is probably Lord Si Qing, but Lord Si Qing is obedient to the queen, so he will definitely not say anything.

Things were obviously simple, but now they have reached an impasse.
