Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Rongxian's mouth, and he asked me, "If I had told you the truth that day, would you believe it?" ”

Hearing Zhao Rongxian's words, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Rongxian chuckled, his face full of pain, "Look, you won't believe it." ”

Yes, if Zhao Rongxian were to tell me the truth, I wouldn't believe half a word.

So, he simply chose to let me accept it? I thought that after the child was born, I would prove his innocence.

It just so happens that during this time, the Jiang family can also be used ruthlessly.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the people in the household department and the ministry are all his people.

In addition, the most important thing is that he took advantage of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's relationship to catch up with General Weiyuan Chang Xiu.

Therefore, he could obviously avoid Jiang Wan's calculations, but he had to go to the scheme, that is, to use the Jiang family.

When I think about this, I feel so tired.

I looked at Zhao Rongxian silently for a moment, nodded slightly, and sighed, "Yes, you're right, even if you tell me the truth, I won't believe it." Even if I believe the truth, I will not tolerate it. ”

Yes, Zhao Rongxian and I were originally two kinds of people.

He lived two lifetimes and was still obsessed with imperial power.

And I just want a peaceful life, I want to live well.

At this moment, I feel that Zhao Rongxian and I have gone further.

In fact, when I forced him to see Jiang Wan, I understood that we couldn't go back.

In the past, I still had feelings for him, and I couldn't tolerate him being nice to other women, but now, I seem to him as if I am just a familiar stranger. The entanglement of two lifetimes has completely worn out the little feelings in my heart.

Actually, I really don't understand what Zhao Rongxian likes about me, he used to say that he liked my looks, but now I have become like this.

Is he in love, or is it possession? Or because of my sincerity, the one I once had.

Looking up at Zhao Rongxian's deep eyes, I asked again.

"Lord Wang, the concubine has always been very curious, what do you like about the concubine? You used to say you liked my looks, but now that I'm like this, why do you have to keep me around? ”

Zhao Rongxian didn't speak, just looked at me silently, as if he couldn't answer for a while.

After a while, he whispered, "Ah Huan, I said it, liking is liking, no matter what it becomes, how can there be so many reasons?" ”

"The reason why the prince is so obsessed with me is because of Jiang Wan's calculations? Because of the intrigues of your warblers and swallows? Because I'm the only one who treats you with all sincerity? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Rongxian was silent again.

Really...... Is that so?

Actually, after going through so many things, I probably thought about it.

Zhao Rongxian is a prince, or an emperor who once ascended the throne, why does he chase after a worthless woman like me, if it is appearance, there are many women in the world who are better than me.

Therefore, Zhao Rongxian's dedication to me is mostly because at that time, I was the only one who was sincere to him.

Or rather, I was the only girl who didn't have any calculations to love him.

Growing up in the palace of intrigue, he felt that my true heart was particularly precious.

Therefore, after living a lifetime, he still holds on to me.

If it is said that he loves me more, it is not necessarily, it is more of a habit and a peace of mind.

But now, I must admit that my true heart is gone.

The reason why I always forced him to see Jiang Wan was because I felt empathy, and secondly, I wanted to use Jiang Wan to push Zhao Rongxian away, but I never thought that Jiang Wan's child was not Zhao Rongxian's.

I couldn't help sighing, looked at Zhao Rongxian, who had been silent, and said with a wry smile, "Lord Wang, have you ever thought about how much you love me?" Or is it obsession with guilt? ”

"Ah Huan, now that the matter has passed, what are you doing all this inexplicable?" Zhao Rongxian didn't seem to be willing to answer the blame question, or he didn't know it himself.

He stretched out his hand and took me into his arms, and immediately diverted the conversation, "Okay, don't talk about this, it just so happens that I am free today, let's go to your Baijia Restaurant for a meal in a while." I think your mom and dad would love to see you. You don't have to hide it now......"

As he spoke, he was going to pull me out the door.

I know that Zhao Rongxian is trying to distract me, so that I don't always chase him and ask him questions he doesn't want to answer.

I wanted to ask, but ...... I don't want to see my mom and dad even more.

I don't want them to see me like this......

So I withdrew my hand heavily and poked him directly, "Lord Wang, if you don't want to answer the concubine, don't ask, don't ask, don't divert the conversation." ”

With that, I turned around and left.

"Bai Huanxi, are you trying everything to push me away?" Zhao Rongxian, who was still friendly to me just now, instantly had a cold face, his temper was not very good, and he broke out after being tossed by me a few times.

Before I could take a step, he dragged me back again.

Zhao Rongxian's eyes were red, and he seemed to have endured it for a long time, "You think I can't see it?" You forced me to see the Jiang family, you deliberately treated me to be alienated and indifferent, you always refused to use medicine, you just wanted to force me to let you go! I know...... I know all of them, but ......"

"Since the prince knows, why is he so persistent?" I interrupted him, surprisingly indifferently.

Zhao Rongxian was slightly stunned, feeling a little stunned, "Are you ...... now?" It's too lazy to pretend, is it? ”

"I love you so much, are you not even moved?"

yes, I'd be touched if it were in the past.

But Zhao Rongxian hurt me again and again, and my feelings for him gradually disappeared.

Now, there is no more.

If I hadn't been forced by him at the beginning, I wouldn't have been willing to step into this palace again.

In the past, I didn't dare to tell the truth to Zhao Rongxian, but now I have said it to such a point.

I think I should have a serious conversation with him.

Facing his scarlet eyes, I shook my head, looking very calm, "Lord, if it was in the past, I think I would be moved to tears, but now, I really ...... I don't feel the slightest feeling. ”

"You ......" Zhao Rongxian's hand trembled violently, and at that moment, I vaguely saw that his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

If this had been before, I would have relented.

But after all this, I don't feel anything anymore.

However, seeing him like this, I was still a little scared in my heart.

Zhao Rongxian's possessiveness is surprisingly strong, when I was framed before, he almost strangled me, and then he knew the truth, and asked me like crazy if I was thinking about other men.

I was angry for a moment, so I broke the jar and broke it, and went straight to him, saying that I was thinking about other men in my heart, and that I didn't love him at all.

Then Zhao Rongxian almost strangled me to death again......

So this time, I didn't say anything to him right away, and I didn't have any feelings for him anymore.

I shook his hand and said softly, "Lord Wang, I think we need to have a good talk, don't be so excited." ”

"How can I be excited?" Zhao Rongxian's eyes were red, as if he was holding on, and said, "You say, what do you have to ask, let's make it clear today, you always think about those messy ...... all day long."

"Zhao Rongxian, I don't love you anymore." I didn't want to be so direct, but seeing Zhao Rongxian's look of caring about him, I think it was better for me to talk to him directly.

Zhao Rongxian is so persistent because he thinks that I am the only one among his wives and concubines who does not have any calculations, and the only one who treats him sincerely.

Just let him know that I don't have any feelings for him anymore, and I think he might let me go.

"You...... What did you say? You repeat? Zhao Rongxian was stunned, and seemed to dare not believe that I would say this.

It should be said that he couldn't believe that I was telling the truth.

Zhao Rongxian is a smart person, he can see whether I have him in my heart or not.

It's just that I didn't say it myself, and he kept pretending to be confused.

But if he continues to be confused like this, he is tired, and I am tired.

I looked at him and calmed down, "Zhao Rongxian, let me go, and let yourself go......"

The mist in Zhao Rongxian's eyes turned into tears in an instant, and the good-looking peach blossom eyes were full of desolation, looking at me like anger and panic.

The grip on my arm grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to crush my bones.

Just when I thought he was going to get angry with me, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, cold and distorted, "Let you go...... Unless I die......"

After saying that, he suddenly dragged me away. His movements were rough and brutal, and he didn't care if I could keep up or not, dragging me all the way.

Dragged into the house, he threw me onto the bed with a thud.

Then I told Mama Chen to take a good look at me, saying that from today onwards, I will not be allowed to take half a step out of Qinghui Courtyard.

After speaking, he heard a loud bang, and he slammed the door shut.

Mama Chen had never seen Zhao Rongxian be so rude to me, so she was frightened at that time, hurriedly helped me up, and asked me with a panicked face, "Princess, is this ...... What's going on here? Isn't it okay? Why did you make the prince angry? ”

"There's nothing ......" I don't want to tell Mama Chen that I let Zhao Rongxian let me go, Mama Chen is not Mama Du, she is more inclined to Zhao Rongxian.

And this kind of thing also hurt his self-esteem as a prince, I want to leave him, but I can't let him lose face in front of his subordinates.

I didn't understand this truth before, so that every time I provoked Zhao Rongxian's anger, I refused to let me go more and more.

I glanced at Mama Chen, and when I saw that she still wanted to ask, I immediately interrupted her again, "Okay, Mama Chen, you go down, I'm nothing." ”

After that, I did the same thing as usual, what I had to do.

Now I have made everything I need to say to Zhao Rongxian clear, as long as I am cold to him, when his enthusiasm is over, maybe he will let me go.

Even if he is unwilling to let me go now, after a long time, I have been so cold, and his attachment to me will fade.

So for a few days, I seemed to be nothing.

Every time Zhao Rongxian came back, I was also cold and indifferent, and always found a reason not to let him touch me.

If he had to touch it, I would lie on the bed like a dead fish and let him toss.

After a month of repeating itself, Zhao Rongxian finally couldn't stand it.

After venting on me, he didn't hug me like before.

"Ah Huan, you just want to leave me like that?" Looking at my cold and expressionless face, Zhao Rongxian's eyes were full of loneliness.

I closed my eyes and didn't speak, this is a question that he has asked me many times in the whole month.

I used to answer him, but now I don't talk to him anymore.

In the past, Zhao Rongxian would be angry with me whenever I had such an attitude, but this time, he was also silent.

"Tomorrow, I will restore your identity, and tomorrow I will give you a letter of resignation." After being silent for a long time, Zhao Rongxian finally opened his mouth, he smiled bitterly, his voice was hoarse and sad, "Your goal has been achieved, I let you go, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future......"

Xu is because I have become accustomed to his existence over the years, and when I heard his words, my heart suddenly felt a little empty.

But at this moment, I was much more relaxed.

All of a sudden, I hated him so much.

I opened my eyes and spoke to him for the first time in more than ten days.

"The concubine has thanked the prince, and I hope that the prince will find someone who treats him sincerely as soon as possible."

"Let's be separated from each other, and each of us will be happy."

Zhao Rongxian didn't speak again, only got up and grabbed his robe, quickly put it on, and then stepped out of Qinghui Courtyard without looking back.

The next day, when I woke up, I had a letter of resignation next to my pillow.

There are also a lot of soft clothes, which were given to me by Zhao Rongxian.

Then, when I walked out, I saw Jin Yu standing in the lobby.

Did Zhao Rongxian pick her up?

"Big girl......" This time, Jin Yu smiled at me, her eyes full of tears.

This big girl made me feel a lot of emotion, and no one had called me that for a long time.

From today on, I will no longer be the fourth princess, I am a serious girl from the Bai family.

From today on, I will no longer have any entanglement with Zhao Rongxian......

I turned my head, pointed to the soft bedside, and instructed Jin Yu, "Jin Yu, help me take out all the clothes and jewels inside......

"Master, what are you going to do? Don't want any of these things? Jin Yu frowned slightly, and he didn't understand my intentions.

I shook my head and smiled lightly, "These things were originally given to me by the prince, but now that I am no longer a princess, naturally I can't ask for them, so let's go as we come." ”

"Master, in fact, the slave maid thinks that this prince is also very pitiful." Jin Yu sighed, his eyes full of sympathy, "When the slave saw the prince this morning, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, and the whole person looked like he had lost his soul. ”

Hearing Jin Yu's words, my heart couldn't help but twitch, but I knew very well that no matter what, I must not be moved by compassion at this time.

Zhao Rongxian may be a little sad at this time, but this sadness will not affect him to climb up by any means.

He and I have always been two completely different people, long pain is better than short pain, and now that we are separated, everyone will be better.

So I didn't show any soft-heartedness, I gently patted Jin Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Maybe he didn't rest well last night, and you also know that these four princes are so busy that they don't even want their lives." ”

"But ......"

"Don't do it, pack your things, let's go."

Sensing that I was reluctant to continue to bring up this topic, Jin Yu didn't say any more, and immediately started to help me clean up.

In this parting, I didn't take anything in the palace, including the silk scarf that Zhao Rongxian gave me, I didn't take it away.

But I didn't leave any of my own things in the palace.

I really took it away, so I simply ordered Mama Chen to burn it.

After packing up, it was already noon to set off again.

It is said that Zhao Rongxian does not have to go to court today, he should be in the house, but I didn't see him at all when I went out all the way.

It's okay, it's not comfortable to meet anyone.

The autumn breeze was blowing, the sun was setting, and when I arrived at Baifu, it was already evening.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Du's mother and our whole family at the door to greet me, thinking that Zhao Rongxian had already sent someone to say it.

This time, he was generous, and it was good to get together and disperse.

My mother and they all knew the ins and outs of the matter, and when they saw me, my mother's tears immediately fell out.

"What's the matter with you, kid? You said that if you live, bring a letter to your home, why don't you say a word, do you know how sad your father and mother are. My mother hugged me and cried with tears in her eyes, "Promise my mother, I won't do this again in the future." ”

"Hmm......" I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes.

I finally ...... Finally changed my fate, and my family will finally not be implicated again.

I am happy......

"Mother, our family will never be separated in the future." I choked up and said one more thing.

Hearing this, my mother cried even more, and she cried and scolded me at the same time, "What stupid things are you talking about, child?" Tell me what you think? Why do you have to be separated from the four princes......

"Mother, don't ask this, you just need to know, it's good that our family can be together safely in the future......"

When my mother heard this, she was even more upset and sad, and when she saw the scars on my face, she cried a lot again. said that my face has become like this, and now I am an abandoned woman, what can I do in the future?

If this had been before, I would have been sad, but now I am very indifferent.

I didn't rush to tell my mother that I won't marry in the future, and I will guard our Bai family's restaurant in the future, and my brother will be an official, and I will manage our family's business.

When I get old in the future, let Bai Yuan Bao send me to the end.

When my mother heard this, although she was not very happy, she still didn't blame me anymore, she just said that it didn't matter anymore, just live.

Yes, nothing matters, it's good to be alive.

But I really don't want to marry anymore, although I don't love Zhao Rongxian anymore, but I feel like I won't love anyone anymore.

When I got home, I either learned to manage the accounts, read books, or went to the restaurant to help.

At first, my father was too willing, and he was still thinking about finding me another family.

But I couldn't resist it, and gradually I had to let it go.

In order to make the restaurant more prosperous, I specially developed a few new dishes, but this taste is surprisingly good, provoking the magnates of Chang'an City to come to visit.

Several times, Zhao Rongxian also came.

Sometimes I came with other officials, sometimes I came with my brother.

Speaking of which, since my brother was in high school, he has been getting closer and closer to Zhao Rongxian.

Originally, I was very worried, but several times, he should have been framed, but he successfully avoided it, and I think Zhao Rongxian mentioned it on the side.

I am grateful for this from the bottom of my heart, but I am still reluctant to see him.

So every time Zhao Rongxian came to the restaurant, I deliberately hid in the kitchen.

After going back and forth for half a year, Zhao Rongxian slowly stopped coming to the restaurant.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, I also went home from the restaurant early and bought a number of New Year's goods.

My brother is also very busy now, and he has time to stay at home as he sees the Chinese New Year.

When I entered the door, I was dragged by my mother to look at the portraits of the girls in each family.

"Ah Huan, what do you think of this girl?" I had just entered the door when my mother pulled me over.

I glanced at it, and the girl was beautiful.

I nodded and gave a thumbs up, "This girl is very beautiful, and she is a good match for my brother." ”

"Really? I think so too, and this girl has a good family background, but your brother just won't agree. "Speaking of this, my mother's face is full of unhappiness.

My brother was a little impatient, and said that he was still young and that there was no need to rush to get married.

I wondered, my brother and Zhao Rongxian are the same age, and in a few months, he will be twenty-one, and he said that he was young.

As soon as he said this, my mother was immediately unhappy, and said a few words to my brother, saying that he must get married this year, and also said that let him pick and choose, if he does not marry this year, my mother will hang himself.

But before she could finish her sentence, my brother turned and left.

I saw that those girls were all as beautiful as flowers, no matter how you looked at them, they could be worthy of him, what was wrong with him.

Isn't it, my brother likes men?

While I was curious, I was also anxious about my brother's marriage.

I didn't want to, so my mother whispered in my ear again.

So I hurried out.

"Brother, what are you doing? I see that those girls are all very beautiful, why don't you agree? ”

Chasing all the way to the garden, I grabbed my brother by the sleeve.

My brother looked back with a sad face, "How can I have the heart to get married now?" ”

What do you mean? Why didn't he have the heart to get married?

Don't...... Something big happened in the DPRK? My brother was framed! The events of the previous life are repeated!

My heart was shocked, and I hurriedly asked him, "Brother, ...... What happened? ”

"The fourth prince went to the border a few days ago, was ambushed by the enemy, and now he has been lying for more than ten days, and he has been unconscious......"

"You...... What did you say? ”

"Now the life and death of these four princes are uncertain, and I don't know if they can survive it......"

He ...... How is he doing now? I couldn't help but tighten my heart and stammered.

"Ah Huan, I think you should go and see the fourth prince......" My brother sighed and said with a serious face, "He has been in a coma for more than ten days, so he called you for ten days......"
