Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 14 Beware of the Loyal Princess
"Princess, take a step to speak."

"Okay!" Ling Xihan roughly guessed what Biying wanted to say, and it happened that she also had some doubts in her heart.

"Han'er." Xiao Minglan suddenly called out to Ling Xihan.

Ling Xihan didn't turn her head back, and said calmly, "My lord is wrong, I am Princess Changle." After she finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Minglan who was pale behind her, and walked out side by side with Biying.

Behind her, Xiao Qilan gave Xiao Minglan a look of contempt and sympathy.

"Father, let's go too."

"kindness."

The important characters were all gone, and the rest of the people naturally dispersed in a rush.Prince Rui felt that he had lost face today, so he was too embarrassed to see off the guests again.Prince Rui slumped on the chair, as if she had aged ten years.

Walking out of Prince Rui's mansion, Biying pulled Ling Xihan to a secluded corner, her eyes were solemn.

"Princess, the Empress asked me to tell you one thing."

Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows, "But about Princess Zhongyi?" She had doubts in her heart when the queen dealt with Princess Zhongyi, and now you just said it.

"The princess is really smart." Biying praised: "The empress asked me to tell you, be careful of Princess Zhongyi."

"Why?" Ling Xihan's tone was indifferent, neither surprised nor surprised, just stating one thing.

"Does the princess know the identity of Princess Zhongyi?"

"Please tell me, auntie."

Bi Ying frowned slightly, her eyes were full of sparkle, and sighed: "She is like me, she used to be the empress's personal maid. And she is the one who has been with the empress since she was a child."

Ling Xihan was slightly surprised, some memories in this body were not very clear, and Ling Xihan had such a dull personality before, so he didn't care about these things.

"The maid next to the empress?"

"En." Biying nodded, with a complicated look on her face.

"The empress once saved your father's life. At that time, I was not with the empress, so I don't know many things very well. The name of the loyal princess is Huansha, and she was with the empress when she was very young. 20 Years ago, when your father was still the prime minister, he was ordered by the late emperor to go to Qingzhou to investigate a corruption case. When he came back, he was seriously injured. He was accidentally rescued by the empress. Your father fell in love at first sight, and I will never forget it ever since."

"Until the day of the queen's wedding, at that time, the emperor was still the king of Li. On the day of the wedding, your father drank too much and stayed in the palace. Huansha designed to climb into your father's bed when he was drunk .” Her eyes flashed with anger, disdain, and pain.At that time, she and Huansha were in love with sisters, and she didn't expect that she would do such a thing on the day of the young lady's wedding, which really chilled her.

Ling Xihan was secretly surprised, but didn't say much.

"It was a mistake. Unexpectedly, Huansha was pregnant on this night. The queen thought about the love of her master and servant, and also took into account the fetus in her womb, so she was not severely punished, but she was expelled from the house. She was pregnant. Your father's child, your father will definitely take on this responsibility. But at that time, the Queen Mother passed away, and the whole country was not allowed to arrange weddings within three years, so Huansha had to enter the Ling Mansion as a concubine. Liu Wenyuan, the daughter of the Dinghou Mansion, fell in love with your father, and when she heard about this, she burst into tears at home. King Dinghou had no choice but to show his old face and ask your father to accept her. King Dinghou treated you in the early years Your father has the grace to know you, so your father did not refuse. This is how you have today's side concubine Liu."

"Not long after, Huansha gave birth to a son, and she became Mrs. Ling logically. At that time, the world was in turmoil. Your father made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, so he was named King of Loyalty, and she became Loyalty princess."

"On the day the emperor ascended the throne, he announced to the world that the draft was abolished and the harem was abolished. The court, Chinese, military and military officials had no chance to send their daughters to the palace as concubines, so they turned their ideas on your father. Therefore, there have been many times in these years. The young officials kept sending people to Prince Zhongyi's residence." She sighed here, and King Zhongyi was indirectly helping Miss.Maybe the lady loves Princess Changle so much, and she also has a part of guilt.

"That's right." She seemed to think of something, and there was a look of solemnity in her eyes.

"Your father is not a sentimental person. After your mother entered the palace, your father rarely accepted women sent by officials. But just six years ago, there were three stunning beauties in Zhongyi Palace. Your mother also Because of this, she was depressed and unhappy, and finally died of illness." She leaned closer to Ling Xihan, "Later, the empress learned that those women were arranged by Princess Zhongyi."

"Oh?" Ling Xihan raised her eyebrows, she also had some vague memories of this incident, but it was not very clear.

"Then Auntie means..."

There was a smile on Bi Ying's lips, "The princess is smart, how can she not know the whole story?"

Ling Xihan's face darkened slightly, and her eyes were clear: "Auntie, you want to say that my mother's death was indirectly caused by Princess Zhongyi?" Her voice was light, and there was no trace of anger.She remembered that after her mother died, his father felt ashamed of his mother, so he expelled those stunning beauties from the mansion.

Biying was surprised inwardly, thinking that the Empress Dowager guessed correctly, the reborn Princess is an extremely intelligent person, so she will definitely not be wronged in the future.

With deep eyes in her eyes, she said: "I don't dare to make a judgment on this. The empress just asked me to tell the princess." She paused, leaned closer to Ling Xihan's ear, and whispered: "The empress once separated Huansha and me in order to protect me. Gave us two poisons for self-preservation."

Ling Xihan's heart trembled slightly, but Bi Ying had already taken a step back with a calm expression.

"The Empress only said that Princess Ping was in good health back then, and she was also a martial arts practitioner, so naturally she would not fall ill easily. Even if there was a prince who let her down first and was depressed, she would definitely not be so easy..." She paused , Eyebrows stained with melancholy.

"When Concubine Ping passed away, the Empress was heartbroken, and later felt that something was wrong about it, but at that time, the time has passed, and even if she wanted to investigate, she couldn't find it. The old lady has not been in good health for a few years, and the empress has no time. Avatars take care of a lot. In addition, Princess Ping has already married into the Palace of Zhongyi, no matter how powerful the Empress Empress is, she cannot interfere in the family affairs of the Palace of Zhongyi. What's more, Princess Zhongyi used to have such a relationship with the Queen, so it will be very difficult to track down .”

She sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"The Empress treated Huansha well back then, but I didn't expect her to..." She shook her head, "She is no longer the simple little maid she was back then. The Empress has been living in the deep palace these years, and she has been deeply disappointed in her. It’s just that I’m always worried about Princess Ping’s death, but I have more energy than I want, now that the princess is back, I’m sure I can find some clues in the palace every day.”
