Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 86 The Death of Aunt Lan (3)
"Haha..." Aunt Lan stopped laughing and looked at Zisu with mockery and sympathy.

"Zisu, what do you think will happen to you following the princess?"

"I don't need my sister to care about this." Zi Su's face was cold and arrogant.

Aunt Lan shook her head, and suddenly said: "There are so many women in the palace, all of them are as beautiful as flowers. But do you know why the prince loves you so much?"

Zi Su frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Hehe..." Aunt Lan laughed again, this time, her laughter was full of sympathy.

Zisu got angry and raised her voice.

"I asked you why?" In fact, she also vaguely understood that every time the prince looked at her, his eyes were very strange, as if he was looking at another person through her.

"Do you really want to know? Well, let me tell you. Because you look... somewhat similar to the woman the prince loves. That's why the prince loves you so much."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zisu yelled uncontrollably when the thought in her heart was confirmed. "You're lying, you're clearly jealous of me."

The corner of Aunt Lan's mouth curled up, her eyes were filled with sympathy and sadness.

"Zisu, you are as smart as you, so why deceive yourself? If not, why do you think the princess chose you in the first place? Because you don't have any family background, because you are obedient, because you are not a threat to her, because you can contain and monitor me, because You can compete with Concubine Ning."

Zi Su turned pale, and then looked at Aunt Lan coldly.

"so what?"

"So what?" Lan Yinniang shook her head sadly, "Zisu, with your intelligence, why bother to waste your life as someone else's pawn? You have seen it today, so what if the prince loves you again? After all, he is just a substitute in his heart, and he will not have the slightest sincerity towards you. Seeking skins from tigers is undoubtedly asking for death. Before it is too late, let's turn around as soon as possible. Let's be master and servant anyway, I don't want you to end up with me Same ending."

Zisu's eyes moved, and then she said coldly: "Don't act in front of me, I won't be fooled."

Aunt Lan shook her head bitterly and said nothing.

Zi Su frowned and walked into her, squatting down and looking at her.

"Miss, if you're really doing it for my own good, tell me how did Princess Ping die?"

Aunt Lan was slightly taken aback, "Did the princess ask you to ask me?"

Zi Su pursed her lips, "No." She just wanted to catch the princess.

"Hey!" Aunt Lan sighed, "I don't know."

"I don't know? How could you not know?" Zisu didn't believe her words at all. She eagerly grabbed Aunt Lan's shoulder and asked forcefully, "You have been with the princess for so long, how could you not have noticed anything? You Tell me quickly, is it the concubine who killed Princess Ping, tell me quickly." Because of her eagerness, Zisu shook Aunt Lan vigorously.Aunt Lan has been poisoned and will not live long.If you don't take advantage of this time to learn something from her, you really have no chance.

Aunt Lan was already weak, how could she withstand Zisu's shaking like this?But after a while, there was some uneven breathing.

"You... you let go... let me go..."

Zisu's eyes were already blushing, why did she listen to what she said?Just keep asking: "Tell me, how did Princess Ping die? Aren't you unwilling? Don't you hate Princess for killing your child? Don't you want revenge? Tell me quickly, tell me Princess is How did you kill Princess Ping, I will help you and your child to avenge, tell me quickly—"

Aunt Lan stared wide-eyed, pointing behind Zisu.

"You've been tricked, Wangfei... really... old... scheme...deep... count..." After the last word fell, she completely closed her eyes and lost her breath.

Zisu froze, then shook Aunt Lan's body vigorously.

"Lan Suxin, wake up quickly, you can't die, you haven't told me how Princess Ping died, how can you die?"

"Bang." With a sound, the door was kicked open from the outside.Zisu woke up suddenly, turned her head to see the scene in front of her, her face turned pale with fright, she wished she could just pass out.

King Zhongyi walked in with a livid face, followed by Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Zhang, Ling Xiyun, Ling Xiwan, and several other Tongfangs, all of whom looked at Zisu with disdain.

"My lord... my lord..." Zisu never expected that King Zhongyi would come to the ancestral hall at this time, and was so frightened that she began to stutter.

"I just said that I saw Aunt Zi sneaking into the ancestral hall. Father, you still don't believe me." Ling Xiyun pursed her lips, complaining with displeasure.

King Zhongyi ignored her, but stared at Zisu with a frown.

"Why don't you stay in your yard well, why come here?"

Zisu opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when Ling Xiwan screamed.

"Ah, isn't that Aunt Lan? What's wrong with her?" Just now Zi Su kept shaking Aunt Lan, her back was facing the door.When she heard that the door was knocked open, Zisu let go of Aunt Lan due to fright, and fell down at Zisu's feet, allowing everyone to see the dead Aunt Lan.

Zisu's face turned even paler, eager to defend herself.

"My lord, my concubine..."

"My lord, when I came here just now, I seem to have heard what Aunt Lan was saying about seeking skin from a tiger...and also about the death of Princess Ping." Aunt Lu frowned suspiciously, "I am confused, didn't the Yun family say last time Was Princess Ping poisoned to death by her? Why did Sister Zi and Sister Lan bring up the old story again?"

Zisu shuddered, ignoring Zhongyi Wang Tieqing's expression.With a plop, he knelt down in front of King Zhongyi.

"This concubine deserves to die, please forgive me." She blinked her eyes, and tears poured out like floods, but she no longer defended herself.

Aunt Lu gritted her teeth when she saw it, the little Hu Meizi knew how to pretend to pity Lord Bo's sympathy.

King Zhongyi frowned. With the affairs of the day, he was no longer so easily confused by Zisu.

"You haven't answered my king's question yet." His voice was indifferent, without any tenderness or pity. Zisu was startled, and panic flashed in his eyes.

Lowering her eyes, Zisu said in a low voice, "Aunt Lan poisoned Miss San today, although the evidence of the crime is convincing. But I thought of what Miss San said, and I felt that it was justified. So I came here at night and asked carefully, so that the real culprit won't go unpunished." , so that the prince and the third lady can feel at ease." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her voice was soft and weak, and she was really wronged.

Mrs. Zhang gave her a cold look, "Oh! So that's the case." She suddenly realized, and suddenly sighed.

"Thinking that Lan's framed you today, the prince almost misunderstood my sister. But I never thought that my sister would still think of the relationship between master and servant back then, and would do everything possible to save Lan's. This sentiment of repaying hatred with virtue, It really made my sister feel ashamed."
