History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 243

On the day when Dun Wang's Mansion was seized, Zhuang Yan, who had been hiding in it, pretended to be a passer-by and wanted to slip away, but Xu Xiang, who had been staring at her for a long time, caught her and brought her to Lin Lang.Xu Xiang is not a kind and magnanimous person, she can clearly distinguish between kindness and resentment, Zhuang Yan planned to break up Xu Lang and Lin Lang, and used her status to do things like a bully, she remembered all of this.

At that time, Lin Lang was watching a play with a few concubines, and because Chu Hanyi was not interested, Lin Lang was at ease.

Seeing Xu Xiang coming in with a mysterious smile, Lin Lang already guessed a little bit, the two whispered a few words, Lin Lang was a little helpless, and followed her out to an unused palace.

The female officials in the Princess' Mansion were all carefully selected and trained by Xu Xiang, so it was no problem to watch Zhuang Yan.When the two of them entered, Zhuang Yan knelt down on the cold stone slab, with four female officers guarding the four corners, with an imposing manner.Zhuang Yan, who was in the center, was downcast, and when she saw Lin Lang, she raised her head and glanced slightly.

"What are you looking at, don't you recognize me?" Xu Xiang strolled over, "Why are you an old friend, Miss Zhuang has such a bad memory."

"It's grass people who have blind eyes..." Zhuang Yan's voice was weak, and it was a bit difficult for her to say this in the face of these two people whom she had once despised.She is quite familiar with the palace that Xu Xiang brought her here. Back then, she traveled to the palace as a princess. There used to be a princess living here, and she often came to play with her.Now that she was revisiting the old place, it was time to change the world. She felt infinite sadness in her chest, and she couldn't help but raise her head, looking at Lin Lang expectantly.

It was still the face that made her displeased, the facial features were undoubtedly very good-looking, even though Zhuang Yan hated her very much, she had to admit that this face was very beautiful.But this beauty made her suddenly want to sneer. When she was the princess, wasn't she also gorgeous in her fine clothes?

As if seeing through her mind, Xu Xiang said, "Don't be unconvinced, it's always been like the winner and loser. Do you know why I brought you in here today?"

Zhuang Yan looked at her blankly, and Xu Xiang said: "You are a guilty body, and now you are involved in the affairs of the old Zhu family. Logically speaking, you should be exiled or executed like those people. Qing is also a slave, do you understand?"

"Understood." Zhuang Yan turned pale and bit her lip.

"However, although you are arrogant and domineering, you did a good deed by accident. Although your intentions are not pure, after all, he is thinking of old kindness and cannot bear to let you fall into such a miserable situation. Guess who? "

So someone came forward to protect her from death?Zhuang Yan was a little surprised.She doesn't have many old friends, and the girls who were close to her in the past have lost their power at the moment of the change of dynasty. Will someone come forward to protect her?

Puzzled, she glanced at Xu Xiang, but couldn't come up with an answer.Looking at Lin Lang again, she was also surprised for a moment, and then showed a clear expression.That being said, Lin Lang also knew that person... After all, Zhuang Yan was not stupid, so she immediately remembered that incident - in order to get Pei Mingxi to paint for her, she had tried her best to get Pei Mingxi into the painting academy.It was just a matter of little effort for her, but for Pei Mingxi at that time, it could be said to be a change of fate.I have long heard that Pei Mingxi and Lin Lang are friends...

"Could it be Miss Pei?" Zhuang Yan blurted out.

"You have a pretty good memory after all." Xu Xiang stepped forward, "Bringing you into the palace with such a thing today is not to humiliate you, but to make you see the situation clearly."

Zhuang Yan was surprised and puzzled, and Lin Lang said: "Now that the Xu family is in charge of the world, the emperor is diligent in governing the court and the court is clear, which is what people want. This time you are involved with the Zhu family. If Mingxi hadn't pleaded for mercy, let alone yourself, I'm afraid even Your family members will be implicated! If you are still as confused as before, then you are looking for your own death."

Xu Xiang agreed deeply, stood beside Lin Lang, and looked at Zhuang Yan together.One is the empress who only favors the sixth palace, and the other is the emperor's relative sister. This palace is so deep that it is already their world.Zhuang Yan looked at the two noble women and looked at the rags on her body. The feeling of frustration became stronger and stronger, and she finally said in a low voice, "The sinful daughter Xie Queen and the eldest princess are magnanimous."

With an extremely low body and a voice of endless exhaustion, this unwilling former princess finally surrendered.

Linlang said again: "Since you've entered the palace, there are your old people here, why don't you go and have a look together." As she said this, Jinxiu naturally understood and took Zhuang Yan to meet someone— — Wei Wei.

Unlike Zhuang Yan, there was no one in Wei Wei's place who would help her with the conversation, and the information she passed on was deeply involved, so there was no room for maneuver.On New Year's Eve, Lin Lang had been interrogated severely by the Department of Punishment, but within a few days she was convicted and sent Wei Wei to hard labor.

When Zhuang Yan saw Wei Wei, she was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and she was sitting in a pile of firewood, pounding rice.The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion who used to be famous and wealthy, after being convicted and entered the palace, although she was only a low-level court lady, after all, she had all the food and clothing, and she still had the leisure to dress up.But at this moment, that young face was full of old spirits, as if the will had been crushed, leaving only a shell, repeating that action indifferently.

Seeing Zhuang Yan against the light, Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, and then received a whip from the nurse in charge behind her.She lowered her head again, not daring to move.

Zhuang Yan left the palace dumbly, her face was even paler than when she came, Xu Xiang saw it from a distance, and nodded in satisfaction, "Your trick is more useful, I have met Wei Wei, I am afraid she will never dare to move around again in this life .”

"In this way, Ming Xi will be worthy of helping her twice."
