192 Death of Huaiqing
After the banquet, Li Weiyang and Mrs. Guo walked out of the hall together, Chen Guifei was too strong to drink, and had already gone back to rest, Concubine Guo Hui personally went to see her off, and sent a personal female official to lead Mrs. Guo and them back. The long palace road is paved with square blue striped stones, and there are tall red palace walls on both sides, and from Li Weiyang's point of view, you can see the tiled roofs with eaves faintly towering behind the palace walls. At this moment, the sky has already darkened, and there are ever-bright lamps lit on both sides of the palace road, and the red lampshades seem to be lined up in a long line, leaving a large red shadow on the palace road. It was silent, and there was no sound except for their footsteps.
Mrs. Guo looked at the seemingly endless Qingtiao Stone under her feet, and said slowly: "Jia'er, you see that this palace is full of people, but it seems that there is mystery and danger everywhere, even if you stand here, you feel that if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by this huge palace, let's go home as soon as possible." β
When Li Weiyang heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Yes." β
Mrs. Guo took two steps, but said in the opposite direction, "No, as soon as we leave, your aunt will be left here alone, wouldn't it be more lonely?" β
Li Weiyang knew that Mrs. Guo was tough on the outside, but soft-hearted, and she was completely different from herself. In her opinion, Concubine Guo Hui entered the palace for the family back then, it was completely her own choice, and no one forced her, and now she has gained a firm foothold in the palace, gave birth to a prince, and has a strong maiden family as the backing, and her life is also very good. But Mrs. Guo still thinks she is pitiful, but in this world, who is not pitiful? She wasn't going to say these words to Mrs. Guo, so she just smiled slightly and said, "Mother is soft-hearted, so stay with Concubine Hui for a few more days." β
Mrs. Guo glanced at her and hesitated: "But I always feel unsure." β
Mrs. Guo is a smart person, and the whole banquet makes people feel very uneasy. First, someone deliberately attacked Guo Jia, then Queen Pei gave her dress, and then many people came to show her goodwill, those inexplicable eager eyes really made people feel fearful. This banquet looks lively, but in fact it is full of dangers.
Li Weiyang's smile was as usual: "Mother, there are some things that can't be hidden, even if we leave the palace, won't those people trouble us?" β
Mrs. Guo thought for a while and said, "Yes, if others are targeting you, you can't escape." However, we are not afraid of anything, so let's come. Between the words, I have already thought about it.
Li Weiyang smiled, Mrs. Guo has an open-minded personality, and many things are clear at all.
Back in Concubine Guo Hui's courtyard, I only saw the soft light from a distance, and several female officials were already standing at the door waiting, and when they saw them coming back, they hurried up to meet them. Soon, she heard laughter coming from the house, Mrs. Guo thought about it, and pulled Li Weiyang into the door.
Concubine Guo Hui was talking to someone, and she didn't know what she said, but she smiled very softly. Next to her sat a very young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink dress, with full cheeks, youthful and beautiful.
When Concubine Guo Hui saw Li Weiyang, she hurriedly beckoned to her: "Jia'er is back, come quickly!" Li Weiyang walked over, Concubine Guo Hui held her hand, then grabbed another girl and introduced her, "Nankang, this is my niece Guo Jia." She's two years older than you, you can call her sister. β
Li Weiyang instantly understood that this girl was the sixteen-year-old Princess Nankang. Mrs. Guo once mentioned to her that Princess Nankang was from a very low background, and her biological mother was a maid brought into the palace by Concubine Guo Hui, and then the woman was fortunate by chance, but she died in childbirth.
Nankang's eyes were very clear, her black pupils could almost reflect Li Weiyang's face, and her eyes also showed trust and enthusiasm. For Nankang, the best person in the world to treat her is Concubine Guo Hui, so Concubine Guo Huifei's niece is her sister. Therefore, she naturally expressed this kind of affection, and looked at Li Weiyang and smiled happily.
"Nankang went to Ningxin Nunnery yesterday to pray for me, and just returned to the palace." Concubine Guo Hui's expression was gentle, and she said slowly, which can be regarded as explaining the reason why she didn't see Princess Nankang at the banquet just now.
Li Weiyang nodded, and found that Princess Nankang had been looking at him curiously, so he smiled at her kindly. Nan Kang lowered his head shyly, and after a while, while Li Weiyang was not paying attention, he raised his head to look at her again. Li Weiyang was made laughed at by this childish behavior, but Concubine Guo Hui touched her hand lovingly, and said, "Nankang, I will get along with Jia'er in the future." β
Princess Nankang nodded obediently, and Concubine Guo Hui said with satisfaction: "Okay, you have also worked hard, go back and rest early." Princess Nankang stood up, gave Concubine Guo Hui and Mrs. Guo a courtesy of a junior to an elder, and then smiled at Li Weiyang, and then reluctantly retreated.
"I still remember the first time I saw this child, he was like a cat, he was scared when he saw people, and in a blink of an eye, Nankang had grown so big." Mrs. Guo looked at the back of Princess Nankang leaving, and said with emotion.
Concubine Guo Hui sighed and said, "If it weren't for Chinese New Year's Eve Rong to defend me, she wouldn't have been designed by that person and died forcefully, so I'm sorry for their mother and son......"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she was stunned, and then comforted: "You can't be blamed for this matter at all, if you hadn't arrived in time, this child would have been sent into the coffin with her own mother." She looked at Li Weiyang, afraid that she would be puzzled, so she added, "This child is a coffin child." Ye Rong died of dystocia before she was born, she was born in the coffin, but no one knew, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hui went to see the last person later, heard the child's cry, and forced those people to get up the coffin, I am afraid that this life will also go with her mother. β
Concubine Guo Hui shook her head and said, "This child is really pitiful, when I talk to her about Yerong, she is always ignorant, and she doesn't know that it is her own mother." β
Princess Nankang was brought up by Concubine Guo Hui, so she only recognized Concubine Guo Hui as her mother and Yuan Ying as her eldest brother, and other people didn't mean anything to her at all, but Concubine Guo Hui was very persistent in telling her about her biological mother, and the result was naturally her blank expression. Mrs. Guo sighed: "I haven't seen my mother, is it happiness or misfortune?" β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Princess Nankang lost her mother since she was a child, which is indeed worthy of pity, but she was able to get the protection and pity of her mother, and it was also her creation. β
Concubine Guo Hui felt that this was very ironing, so she nodded and said, "I have always tried my best to take care of her, but she grew up with me, and her temper has also learned from what I was like when I was young, very simple." β
Mrs. Guo laughed and said, "You, what's wrong with being a child, do you have to be so slippery to be happy?" β
Concubine Guo Hui didn't think so, and laughed at her: "You have a smart daughter yourself, don't you want one too?" β
She said this without malice at all, Mrs. Guo laughed, pulled Li Weiyang and said, "What, are you jealous?" This daughter is mine, and no one will let me! β
Li Weiyang looked at Mrs. Guo, his eyes were as calm as deep water, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
chatted with the two for a while, until they went to rest, Li Weiyang returned to his room, Guo Huifei's front and back courtyards each had five main halls, and there were three east and west halls, and they were also spacious.
The palace maid knew that this Miss Guo was a distinguished guest, and she had already cleaned up the best hall according to Concubine Hui's instructions, and arranged it neatly, for fear that she would not be thoughtful enough, and specially ordered a soothing incense. Li Weiyang looked around the hall, and the palace maid hurriedly said, "Does Miss still need anything?" "I look scared.
Li Weiyang just smiled and instructed Zhao Yue: "Everyone has worked hard, you can send them the gifts I brought." β
Before entering the palace, Zhao Yue had been guarding outside the palace, and later Mrs. Guo wanted to stay, Concubine Guo felt that the palace maid might not be thoughtful, so she gave grace and asked Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang to choose a personal maid to enter the palace to take care of. When Zhao Yue heard this, she immediately smiled and went out with everyone.
The entire hall finally quieted down, and Li Weiyang sighed and said, "Don't come out yet?" β
A figure jumped in from the window, smiling, who is it not Yuan Yeol? He winked at himself from behind the window just now, and he scared her a lot! Li Weiyang smiled: "Do you think that the palace is the same as the vegetable market, you can come and go freely?" β
Yuan Lie showed off and turned in a circle, he stole a set of palace guard clothes out of nowhere, with a black background, embroidered with a tiger, as if he was alive, a pair of sharp eyes stared at people, the placket rolled blue and white three-color waves, and the black and bright hair also had a martial crown, and a five-color silk vessel, which lined his fair complexion, which was very gorgeous. He laughed, "You see, I think this dress suits me very well." β
It's a good fit, but how did he get it? Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, but heard him say: "Don't worry, I'm so smart, I won't be discovered." β
Li Weiyang knew his personality and categorically wouldn't cause her trouble, so he said: "The palace gate will be given the key soon, and you still come here?" β
"There is a banquet today, and the palace gate will naturally delay the key for half an hour, what, Miss Guo doesn't know?" He was so neat and honest, his eyes were full of color, shining brightly, and his voice was clear and low, making people feel as if there was a warm current in their hearts.
"You're always acting like this." Li Weiyang sighed, sat down first, and poured himself a glass of water. Yuan Lie sat down against her with a grin and said, "I miss you!" β
"What nonsense, I just saw it." Li Weiyang turned his head, but saw him staring at him, his eyes were as clear as glass. A strange feeling passed through her heart, so she lowered her head and avoided his eyes, "Concubine Hu Shun has been staring at you today, haven't you seen it?" β
"That old witch...... It's Princess Lao Xu's own sister, and it's not surprising that I robbed her nephew of the throne, so she naturally resents me. Wonyeol smiled indifferently.
Li Weiyang slightly furrowed his brows and said, "You are in the Xuwang Mansion, can you still be smooth?" β
"This is natural, I am so smart, my father's old courtiers have been very good to me......" He naturally did not let her worry, as if joking.
A person who was killed halfway, where would it be so easy to please those stubborn old courtiers of King Xu, but those people couldn't fight or kill, so they could only slowly subdue them, Li Weiyang shook his head and smiled.
"Why, you don't believe me?" He looked at her.
"How could it be? You're so smart, who wouldn't like you......" Li Weiyang is as good as a stream.
"Don't mention these annoying things, someone told me today that Concubine Guo Hui wants you to be Princess Jing!" Yuan Lie smiled, his eyes flashing with a broken light, as if there was a strange light.
Li Weiyang was slightly stunned: "You also have eyeliner in Concubine Hui's Palace?" β
"What eyeliner! Concubine Guo Hui did it so obviously, and Yuan Ying came to provoke again, isn't it obvious enough? He pretended to be slightly annoyed, but his thin lips were flying, and his posture was restrained: "It's annoying that you still have a ...... to talk and laugh with him."
Li Weiyang was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said: "In terms of identity, he is my cousin, do you want me to put on a face when I see him, it can't be said like this." β
He chuckled and said, "So, you won't marry him......" In fact, it was already something he expected, if Li Weiyang was willing to wronged himself, why did he have to make trouble with Li Xiaoran in the first place. In her bones, she is clearly an extremely stubborn and tough person.
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said with a smile: "This may not be, it depends on how valuable he is." She was just teasing him - but unexpectedly, Yuan Lie, who was still smiling, suddenly stood up and walked in the direction of the window without saying a word, Li Weiyang was taken aback, stood up and said, "What's wrong with you?" β
Who knew that he turned around suddenly, and a gust of wind rushed up, Li Weiyang was defenseless, and he was firmly branded in his chest at once. The young man who could only look at her two years ago was now more than a head taller than her, and Li Weiyang was already tall, but he could only barely reach his solid chest.
"Weiyang ......" he leaned down, buried his head deep in her neck, and whispered her name on his lips, faintly with a lingering and resentful taste.
Li Weiyang was stunned and said, "I'm just joking with you, how can you be so serious." β
He hugged her fiercely, indulging his rare weakness in front of her alone. Obviously, there are thousands of things to say, but when the words reach the throat, they can only say, "Don't have such jokes......"
Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, but the taste in her chest was indescribable, she was so close, and her body temperature was also connected to each other, which made her heart soften. She couldn't help but sigh.
In the next second, he was so strong that he almost broke her waist, and the hand that was tightly around her trembled slightly in contradiction. Li Weiyang exhaled, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, paused slightly, only to feel his fingertips pass through the silky smooth and soft hair...... "You......"
No matter when, his personality is like this, he is mature and demeanor in front of outsiders, but in front of her, he is so attached and domineering, and even a little extreme. It's just that as before, relying on each other has become a habit in the flesh and blood, and even today, she still can't push him away indifferently.
He raised his head suddenly, obviously in a coquettish gesture, and said in a low voice: "He can't take good care of you, does he know what you like?" Know what you need? He doesn't know anything, does he? You don't have to take him to heart. β
Look at him belittled Yuan Ying to this point, obviously he took it seriously. Li Weiyang wanted to laugh, but seeing that he was so persistent, he had to hold back his laughter and said, "Yes, he doesn't know anything." β
"So, how can a person like him be worthy of you?" He said softly, his moist and narrow eyes full of seriousness.
"I've said it's just a joke, if I was willing to marry the prince, I would have chosen Tuoba Jade in the first place, didn't I? Why wait until now? In the past, she also had the idea of using her marriage as a tool of revenge, because she was full of distrust of people's hearts and full of uncertainty about the future, but later, when she saw that Qi Guogong loved Mrs. Guo so much, and the Guo family lived so happily, she began to feel that a happy marriage may not be impossible.
If she chooses to marry Yuan Ying in order to take revenge on Empress Pei, but she can't promise to love her husband well, then Yuan Ying will become unlucky, and so will she. Why do you know you won't be happy?
She whispered, "I promise you that I won't make such jokes again in the future." However, you should also go, no matter how late it is, the palace gate will be keyed, and you will not be able to get out at that time. β
Yuan Lie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find another opportunity to see you tomorrow." As he spoke, he touched her forehead, let go of her, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped out of the window, and Li Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the window, there was already a guard answering: "Lord Wang." β
Yuan Lie waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go." As he spoke, he glanced back at the figure in the window, with a sly smile on his face, Weiyang, you always keep saying that you are ruthless to me, but you don't realize that only when you face me, you will be soft-hearted.
There was no pastime in the palace, Concubine Guo Hui invited the troupe to sing on the afternoon of the second day, Li Weiyang sat and drank tea, but after seeing Princess Nankang come in, she began to rub Concubine Guo Hui, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. Later, she finally said it: "Mother, I want Sister Huaiqing to come to our palace to watch a play." β
Concubine Guo Hui's face showed surprise, and then she glanced at Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "We have nothing to do with Princess Huaiqing, what does the princess think?" β
Li Weiyang's expression did not change, and he looked at this scene with a smile, his black eyes flowing.
Princess Nankang begged: "Mother, Sister Huaiqing is really pitiful, although I didn't attend yesterday's banquet, I heard that she was severely punished because she laughed yesterday, and this morning she quietly hid on the edge of the rockery and cried, and she didn't dare to be seen." β
Princess Huaiqing is indeed very pitiful, but there are too many poor people in this world, and Concubine Guo Hui feels that she can't help everyone, and this kind of idle matter can't be managed anyway.
Princess Nankang got anxious and continued: "It's not that I want my mother to do anything else, it's just that I see that she can't even find a place to cry, and she doesn't have a mother's love like me, it's really ...... So I just want her to sit down, relax, and soothe her mood! She was in a hurry, and she didn't think much about her words, and the bamboo tube crackled like a bean.
Concubine Guo Hui sighed, glanced at Mrs. Guo, and said, "Look, my child, my heart is too good." β
Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "After all, my daughter's family is no better than a man, so what do you want to do with such a hard heart?" If you have a lady to look at, you can't go wrong. In the future, I will find a good horse for her-" She thinks it is better for Nankang to be soft-hearted, because she is not a prince, and she does not have to compete for the throne in the future, she only needs to find a suitable person to marry, and live happily out of the palace without too many scruples.
Concubine Guo Hui has indeed protected Princess Nankang for many years, as long as she is there for a day, no one will dare to touch Nankang. Li Weiyang shook his head, but Princess Nankang is so easy to soften, I am afraid that she will cause trouble in the future.
When Princess Nankang heard the word "horse", her face was steaming like boiling water, and she threw herself into Concubine Guo Hui's arms with a sigh of annoyance, and said angrily: "My aunt is looking for me to be happy again...... she blushes easily, so Mrs. Guo loves to tease her very much.
Concubine Guo Hui patted her on the shoulder, and then smiled: "You send someone to invite Princess Huaiqing to come to the play......
"Really? Thank you, Mother! Princess Nankang jumped for joy.
Watching Princess Nankang go to pick up Huaiqing in person, a sharp light flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: This Princess Huaiqing doesn't seem to be so simple. If you are wronged, you naturally have to find a place to cry away from people, how can you let Princess Nankang see it? also instigated Princess Nankang to beg Concubine Guo Hui, such an arrangement seems to be carefully designed step by step. So Princess Huaiqing tried every means to get close to Concubine Hui, was she rejected by Empress Pei, or did she have another purpose? When I saw her yesterday, I didn't look like such a scheming person, otherwise I wouldn't have laughed...... Did you look away this time? Li Weiyang didn't want to think about it, the current situation is complicated, Empress Pei is eyeing her, and she must be cautious in everything.
What's more, this palace is prosperous and beautiful, but there are countless pairs of cold eyes staring in the dark, Concubine Guo Hui is too protective of Nankang, so that she can't even distinguish such a simple mind, if she speaks out to stop it today, I'm afraid that it will make Nankang feel suspicious in her heart, and to deal with the little girl, you have to take advantage of the situation.
She didn't say anything to stop her, just because she wanted to see what Princess Huaiqing wanted to do.
After about half an hour, Nankang pulled Huaiqing over, today Princess Huaiqing was wearing a blue dress, looking small and beautiful, and her face was exceptionally beautiful, but the fat powder on her face seemed to be floating, her eyes were faintly red and swollen, and her lips were slightly white.
Princess Nankang is helpless, has no background and supporters in the palace, Queen Pei doesn't look down on people like her, she will think of climbing to Concubine Guo Hui, there is nothing strange about it, it's just that she doesn't come sooner or later, but now - and suddenly found the naΓ―ve Nankang, what is the purpose behind this?
No matter what Huaiqing's purpose is, Li Weiyang's impression of her is not as simple as yesterday. Now she looked at the other party's pure eyes, and there was already a hint of scrutiny.
Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said, "Huaiqing, come and sit." β
Princess Huaiqing was very restrained, and only dared to sit down after saluting, and the palace maid poured tea for her, but she didn't drink it, but sat a little nervously. Princess Nankang said: "Mother, I brought Sister Huaiqing here. Her palace is deserted, let's be lively here, so I'll let her come and sit. β
Concubine Guo Hui smiled faintly and said, "I am also her mother, she comes to me to walk around, and no one will say anything." β
In fact, although Empress Pei is powerful, the power of the Guo family is also very strong, these princes and princesses dare not offend on both sides, but Princess Huaiqing is a relatively wooden person, neither knows how to please Empress Pei, nor does she know how to get close to Concubine Guo Hui, so that she can't rely on both ends of the palace, and her life is becoming more and more difficult. At this moment, listening to what Concubine Guo Hui said, Princess Huaiqing's eyes were a little red, but she didn't dare to cry, so she smiled reluctantly: "Huaiqing didn't dare to disturb the mother concubine in the past......"
Concubine Guo Hui shook her hand and said, "There's nothing to bother about, we don't live far, come over with Nankang when you're fine, I love to be lively." β
Princess Huaiqing nodded, and stopped talking. With Princess Huaiqing present, everyone fell silent, Nan Kang was a little inexplicable, looking at Concubine Guo Hui who was watching the play wholeheartedly, and then looking at Mrs. Guo with a calm face, I don't know why they were talking and laughing just now, but now they are very cold. She vaguely felt that this had something to do with Huaiqing, but why? Sister Huaiqing is so pitiful-
She asked Huaiqing quietly, "Why are you crying today?" β
Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that my eyes were blown by the wind." β
The drama on the stage was singing just right, and Concubine Guo Hui ordered someone to give a reward, and she heard Princess Nankang say in disbelief: "No, I saw that your entire front was crying wet!" β
A wry smile appeared on Huaiqing's face and said, "Nankang, it's really okay...... It's just that the queen mother ordered me to move out of the Chunyang Palace last night and go to live in the Yilan Palace. β
"Ylan Temple?!" Nan Kang screamed suddenly, interrupting the interest of the others to concentrate on listening to the play, and this time, even Concubine Guo Hui frowned.
Mrs. Guo said curiously: "What is it?" Isn't it good? β
Nan Kang couldn't believe it: "Yilan Hall is the closest place to the Cold Palace, I heard that it is still haunted, no one dares to live in it!" β
The palace maid next to her couldn't help but say: "You don't know, after a banquet yesterday, the queen said that the Chunyang Palace where our princess lives is too big, and it is a waste to live alone, so I want to allocate it for Miss Pei to live temporarily." It's nothing, but Miss Pei has always been tricky, as soon as she arrived at Chunyang Palace, she began to pick and choose, snatched the palace where the princess used to live, not to mention, and drove the princess to live in a small room without sunlight, where even the slaves and maids would not liveββ"
Concubine Guo Hui frowned lightly and said, "What about the Yilan Palace?" β
Princess Huaiqing just whispered: "Princess Daimyo heard about this incident early in the morning, and she was upset with the queen for me, but she was punished together." The queen also said, since I dislike Chunyang Palace, I just move to Yilan Palace, it is big and quiet, and it is the most suitable for me......" Thinking of Empress Pei's expression at that time, Princess Huaiqing couldn't help but shiver.
Nan Kang said indignantly: "In the past, there was an annoying princess Anguo in the former palace, and she had to trouble others everywhere, but now she finally left, and there is another Pei Bao'er, which is really annoying." Why didn't the queen ask clearly? This matter is not Sister Huaiqing's fault at all! β
When Li Weiyang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. There is no right or wrong in this matter, who Queen Pei wants to punish, no matter how you justify, it is useless.
Concubine Guo Hui just shook her head, "Yilan Hall is indeed not a good place. "In the past, many palace concubines died in Yilan Palace, and there were rumors that it was haunted, so the palace has always regarded it as a forbidden place and not inhabited by people, but Queen Pei ordered Huaiqing to move in, making it clear that she was rectifying her. But Huaiqing has always kept to himself, and he didn't even dare to say more than half a word, how did he anger Queen Pei? Is it just for a laugh at the banquet yesterday?
Yes, how did she forget that Empress Pei would never allow anyone to challenge her authority. She Guo Qiao can, because there is the entire Guo family behind her, but Princess Huaiqing has nothing, no wonder she will fall into such a fate.
Princess Nankang came up with an idea: "Otherwise, you want to see your father and beg him to help you make the decision." β
Princess Huaiqing looked at Nankang in amazement and said, "My father is not in good health, so I rarely pay attention to these things, I ...... Where do I usually see my father? β
Li Weiyang sighed, even if Princess Huaiqing saw the emperor, if he really cared about Princess Huaiqing, why did he let her fend for so many years? What's more, Empress Pei just asked Huaiqing to live in a palace that was almost there, and he didn't force her to die, even if the matter broke through the sky, Empress Pei would not be afraid.
Concubine Guo Hui couldn't bear it, "Then what are you going to do?" β
The tears in Princess Huaiqing's eyes finally flowed out, and she said, "I'...... I have no choice but to come to Concubine Hui, hoping that Niangniang can say a word for me, let me go back to Chunyang Hall to live, even if it is to go to that small room, it is better to go to Yilan Palace. β
Nan Kang hurriedly pulled Concubine Guo Hui's sleeve: "Mother--you can help Sister Huaiqing." β
To say a word to the emperor, it is just a gesture, that is, to ask Empress Pei in person, she will definitely agree. Concubine Guo Hui thought for a while and said, "This ......"
Before she finished her words, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Niangniang, the troupe has come to thank you." β
Concubine Guo Hui was stunned and glanced at Li Weiyang, but found that she was looking at herself with a smile on her face, and there seemed to be deep meaning in her eyes. What a smart person she is, her heart immediately understood, and she turned her head and motioned for the female official to lead the troupe to withdraw, and then said slowly: "Huaiqing, I know your difficulties, and it is not bad to go to His Majesty to express her feelings for you." It's just that I'm not your biological concubine after all, and I have nothing to do with you, so I rashly opened my mouth for you, but it made people think that I was questioning the queen's decision and deliberately stirring up trouble. Besides, if Your Majesty agrees, it's fine, but if you don't, the queen is afraid that she will misunderstand you...... Your marriage will be decided by your mother in the future, and it will hurt your life at that time. β
Princess Huaiqing was taken aback, she listened to Concubine Guo Hui's words, and suddenly thought that if Concubine Guo Hui really said to His Majesty, Queen Pei had no way to do anything to the other party, she would only be angry with herself, even if she moved back to Chunyang Palace now, her life would definitely be even more difficult in the future.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, and said unintentionally: "Actually, Princess Huaiqing is so smart, calm down, she may not have thought of this, but she came here deliberately, I'm afraid there is some reason." β
Huaiqing raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Weiyang in disbelief, and said, "I...... What reason can I have......" She didn't think of Concubine Guo Hui before, it was that person...... reminded her that as long as she came to beg Concubine Guo Hui, there was still a glimmer of opportunity for the better, but now that Concubine Hui said it, she immediately understood that this road was not only not feasible, but also a complete dead end. But...... For so many years, that person has been protecting himself openly and secretly, and this time he also taught himself to start with Nankang, so wholeheartedly, he will never be deliberately framed, but he is just like himself, he didn't expect it to be so thorough for a while, why did he bother to involve her, and also caused Concubine Hui Niangniang to blame her, this is the revenge of Enjiang......
Thinking of this, Princess Huaiqing calmed down and said, "Miss Guo misunderstood, everything is my own idea, I was confused for a while, how can this matter make Concubine Hui embarrassed." With that, she stood up, bowed to Concubine Guo Hui again, and then walked out.
Princess Nankang looked at her back with a sympathetic look on her face. Li Weiyang smiled and said, "The princess is in a bad mood, I'll send it off." With that, she stood up and chased her to the door.
Princess Huaiqing had just come down the steps when she saw Li Weiyang chasing her out and looked at her in surprise. Li Weiyang condensed a quiet smile and said: "Princess, many things can't just be seen on the surface, Concubine Hui is not unwilling to help you, but once she helps you, she will be tired even worse." β
Princess Huaiqing had already understood this truth, so she whispered: "Miss Guo, I understand, and I won't blame Concubine Guo Hui, there are few people in this palace who are willing to talk to me so much." β
It's best if you can understand...... Li Weiyang sighed, and said in a very soft voice: "The princess really has to watch out for not only Empress Pei, but also the person who persuaded you to use means to get close to Nankang, with all due respect, this person is afraid of scheming." β
Princess Huaiqing was stunned and said, "No, no, she is definitely not such a person!" These words were originally blurted out, but I regretted it when I said it. In this way, didn't he admit to Li Weiyang that he had indeed been taught to come to the door? Her face couldn't help but turn red, but she still couldn't help but argue, "Miss Guo, you really misunderstood. She won't hurt me. β
Li Weiyang said gently: "I have already said what I should say, as for believing it or not, it is your business, princess." It's not early, and the princess walks slowly. β
Huaiqing walked a few steps, but he still turned his head, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Miss Guo, no matter what, thank you for what you said to me today." Although I don't believe it, I can't deny that Guo Jia's suggestion is out of kindness, and Huaiqing is not such a person who doesn't know what to do.
Li Weiyang saw her helping the palace maid to leave, and the thin back added a bit of cold and gloomy meaning, and he sighed unconsciously.
Back in the courtyard, the stage had dispersed, Concubine Guo Hui was waiting for Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Niangniang, can you blame me for being troublesome today?" β
Concubine Guo Hui shook her head and said, "What you said is that I really can't interfere, which will exacerbate the contradictions between Guo Pei's two families, and add fuel to Huaiqing's situation." Moreover, Huaiqing's intentions are also questionable......"
Li Weiyang sighed and said, "I'm not worried that Princess Huaiqing has a problem, what I'm worried about is what kind of purpose does the person who instructed her come here to beg for her mother?" Why did Princess Huaiqing protect this person? β
Concubine Guo Hui frowned, looked at the swaying branches on the wall not far away, and her mood became chaotic, and said, "Yes, the water in this palace is getting muddy and muddy." β
Returning from Concubine Guo Hui, Princess Huaiqing endured the humiliation and asked the palace people to help move the things to the Yilan Palace. Pei Baoer sneered at her, and she could only pretend not to hear it with tears in her eyes. Although she was a princess, she really didn't have anything, and by evening she had already packed it up. As soon as she entered the Yilan Palace, she saw four guards walking out of the hall, and one of them said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you." β
Princess Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed, and said in her heart, could it be that her father had learned about it, so she wanted to summon herself? When she heard this, she didn't think twice, so she asked the palace maid not to clean up first, and when she came back, she quickly cleaned up and followed the four guards to the outside of the palace. Not long after she walked out of the Yilan Palace, she saw the four guards take her to the lake in front of the cold palace, and she couldn't help but change color and said, "Where is my father?!" Why did you bring me here?! β
In fact, she was too happy, and there was no very reliable person around her to remind her, so she ignored that if the emperor summoned her, it must be the eunuch who announced the decree, what happened to these four guards? She subconsciously took a step back and said, "You...... You weren't sent by your father......" she swerved and ran backwards, but one of the guards smirked, grabbed her, and threw her into the lake with three others!
Before Princess Huaiqing could react, she was already submerged by the cold lake, she struggled desperately, trying to float up from the lake, but the four guards pressed her head together, desperately pressed her into the water, Princess Huaiqing kept whimpering, but couldn't say a word, she could only shake her head, shook her head desperately, and soon stopped struggling and was motionless......
One of them pulled her up, probed her snort, got up and said to the others, "Dead." β
Then, the four of them quietly turned around and left, just like when they came, leaving only Princess Huaiqing floating on the surface of the lake, the green silk fluttering, and the dress like a blooming flower......
