Chapter 74
Zi Xuyuan's words were true, the emperor's face was dull, but he couldn't take what he said as a fart.

I had no choice but to turn to Li Huai, and persuaded with dignity: "Huai'er, since Mr. Long needs the help of the princess, he must have his reasons. Today's situation is special. For the safety of your mother and concubine, Huai'er doesn't have to be persistent!"

Li Huai has always been considerate. Hearing what his father said, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still took care of the royal family's face and did not refute it.

He just pulled Long Xilan aside, and said with a sad expression: "Jin Hua, the ceremonies that Mr. Long will have to do at night must not be that simple. If you don't want to go, the emperor can't force you!"

He held her hand, and the familiar warmth came from the palm of his hand. She liked the way he worried about herself.

"My lord, do you want Jin Hua to go?" She raised her small face and stared at the face with sharp lips and teeth in the dim light.

Hearing her question, Li Huai was stunned, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he replied softly: "The concubine mother is the most important person of this king, and this king naturally hopes to get her out of this torture as soon as possible, but Jin Hua, You are just a weak woman, you should not get involved in those murderous events in the Taoist world."

Ji Hai promised that he would take care of you.

Xi Lan's eyes glowed with emotion, and she smiled happily, no matter how much of what was said, it was his affection for her, she was willing to accept it.

"Li Huai, for you, I don't want to be just a weak woman, so just let me go, I just hope..."

I only hope that Xi Lan can become your most important person one day.

She bit her lip and didn't say it.

It's not timid, it's just that he doesn't want him to think that what he did was in exchange for him.

The feelings she wants are not pity and gratitude, nor are they bound by a marriage contract. She likes him and wants to treat him well, regardless of whether he is good or not.

"What do you want? Brocade paintings?" Li Huai is such a sensitive and quick person, how could he not understand the affection in her eyes?He held her hand, but he didn't quite understand, did the brocade painting in front of him really no longer miss the past?

At this time, he moved his eyes away and said solemnly: "Go, take care of yourself!"

"Ah."

Before that, Long Xilan needed to do one more thing.

When she was thinking about how to do this, Concubine Yu Gui, who was being comforted by the emperor, suddenly had a little light in her eyes.

Finally, Concubine Yu found Xi Lan's lock among the crowd.

Then she turned her head and said to the emperor: "Your majesty, can I have a few words with the concubine alone?"

The emperor saw his concubine come back to his senses, and nodded happily, "Okay, okay!"

Then, several other people in the hall, including those dead rabbits, were taken out together!
Xi Lan walked over lightly, and asked, "What does my concubine want to explain to Jin Hua?"

She is not an idiot. The other party sent everyone away and left her alone just to make things happen. There must be something, something closely related to Li Huai, to be told.

"Jin Hua, come here!" Concubine Yu Guifei had already receded from the shock on her face just now, with a trace of her face squeezed out, she beckoned to her with a soft and kind smile.

She obediently went over and sat on the edge of the bed.

Concubine Yu's makeup was a little messed up, and her face was a little pale. She stretched out her well-maintained hand, gently held Xi Lan's wrist, and asked, "Do you like Huai'er?"

In comparison, although Xi Lan's fingers were slender, they looked a bit rough because of those shallow scars.

"Jin Hua loves the prince, just like the imperial concubine loves the emperor!" These were her words from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't know where she and Li Huai would go in the future, but she wanted to do her best.

Hearing this, the other party smiled in relief. "Then Jinhua, can I promise my concubine one thing?"

From Concubine Yu's eyes, she saw a woman who gave her all to her beloved son with a heart of pity.It is also conceivable how the little prince who suffered many disasters grew up under the arms of this great mother.

"What does my concubine want Jin Hua to promise?" She didn't turn her head to look like an ignorant little woman as usual, but she was able to control the calmness of this conversation.

Seeing Ji Jinhua like this, Concubine Yu knew that she had read the right person.

She moved her body slightly, stretched her hand back, and looked at Xi Lan's face enviously. "Mother Concubine also had a life like you... Mother Concubine was also at your age, and fell in love with the Emperor."

Xi Lan listened quietly without interrupting.

Concubine Yu continued to speak: "At that time, the emperor was not the emperor, but this palace was his concubine Jiefa. It stands to reason that after the emperor ascended the throne, this palace would be the queen. If the prince is to be abolished and the king should be established, Nalan's family must be acquired. I fully support it, and the Nalan family has given birth to the eldest son, and it is imperative to establish a heir. I can't let the emperor's imperial career be fettered because of his feelings for me, so I am willing to give up the heir to the Nalan family. Many people have asked Me, regret it or not? Maybe there is, but if I choose again, I will still choose the choice of the year. In this life, I am responsible for others, and others are responsible for me. Karma will eventually happen. I know that I have sinned deeply. I will suffer such unforeseen misfortunes, so even if I die in this palace this time, it doesn’t matter, but there are people in this palace who cannot let go!”

Hearing that this imperial concubine from the deep palace said so many thoughtful words to herself in one breath, Long Xilan's heart was moved, she was really curious, what secret was she hiding?Already have the heart to die?

"What's the concubine mother's secret, why don't you tell Jin Hua?" She stretched out her hand to hold Concubine Yu's hand firmly.

The other party glanced over from the corner of his eye, then looked away, and threw it to the magnificent inner hall. After a while, he said: "This palace is old and cannot protect Huai'er I. Now he has you by his side..." Said Then, the other party turned his face, and the deep meaning in his eyes gradually became clear. "You were chosen by me personally for Huai'er. I know that you must have chosen the right person, so you must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will protect Huai'er for me, okay?"

Xi Lan was stunned, and looked down again, Yu Guifei grabbed her palm with her backhand, and the strength was a little painful.

But she didn't even frown.

"My concubine is still in her prime, why do you say something like parting from life and death?"

Concubine Yu Gui's eyes did not change, she grabbed her even harder and repeated: "Promise me?"

She just nodded straight: "Okay! Okay! Concubine Mu, Jin Hua promises you that no matter what happens, she will guard by the prince's side!"

After getting such an answer, the other party was still not satisfied. She insisted on asking, "What if, to protect one person, you have to kill others?"

Long Xilan was taken aback, guarding one person and killing others?

The deep meaning in these words immediately reminded her of something, but now facing the face that had been waiting for her answer for a long time, after thinking deeply, she replied solemnly: "If you have to kill others in order to protect the one you love, I...will do it resolutely..."

Only then did Concubine Yu feel comforted, she held her hand and relaxed slightly.

Xi Lan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Concubine Mu, what happened on that thunderstorm night 15 years ago?"

"Who did you listen to?" The other party's body froze suddenly, and his reaction was different from before.

She knew that all this happened was closely related to that thunderstorm night 15 years ago. Tonight, she and Zi Xuyuan wanted to recruit a group of ghosts, so they had to find out the inside story from Concubine Yu.

"Who did you listen to?" Unexpectedly, Yu Guifei suddenly lost control, grabbing her arms with both hands, and asked loudly.

Xi Lan didn't expect that a single sentence could turn the gentle and virtuous imperial concubine into such a state. She was surprised, but she still didn't lose her balance.

She didn't move, and let the other party hold her tightly, and said softly: "Mother, you shouldn't be afraid of Jin Hua! Since I dare to ask you like this, I naturally hope that this matter can be resolved in the best way, and I don't want to be afraid of Jin Hua!" Startle the people around."

She paid attention to the change in the imperial concubine's expression, and it was conceivable that a secret that could be guarded by the other party with their lives must also implicate the lives of many people.

Even Concubine Yu herself said that she has committed a lot of crimes. In Xi Lan's head, all these things were quickly connected together, and she couldn't help but turn pale with shock. She stood up suddenly, not daring to look directly at the beautiful woman in front of her.

"Jin Hua, what happened to you?" Concubine Yu Gui didn't understand why she suddenly reacted abnormally and wanted to stay away from herself.

But Long Xilan seemed to understand, but she didn't understand enough.She frowned, and said in disbelief: "It's you——15 years ago, you released the wooden figure with Li Huai's name on it!"

Concubine Yu Guifei saw her suddenly enlightened, but did not dare to accept, the nervousness and fear just now disappeared!He sneered and sighed: "Bengong really saw you right, even, you are smarter than I imagined."

She swallowed, and went through all the details in her mind, and asked completely puzzled: "Why did you attack your own son?"
