Xianglian was ashamed, and only thought about dying, so as not to face the master and others without shame.

The others all glared at Xianglian, feeling that she had betrayed her master and was not worthy of life.

Among them, Haruka's emotions are the most complex.

She and Xianglian have always been friends, and they are both the princess's right-hand man, almost inseparable, and they sleep in the same shrine.

Yu Gong, Chunxiang should hate Xianglian like others, but in private, Chunxiang saw Xianglian's expression of grief and death, and felt equally uncomfortable.

Chunxiang and Xianglian have a pitiful background. Although Haruka has a father and a brother, it is even more miserable than nothing. Her biological mother died early, and her father remarried a wife, which was fine at first, but later after her stepmother had her own biological child, she scolded Chunxiang's sisters and brothers, which was very bad.

Chunxiang's father is another soft-eared person, and his stepmother casually provoked two or three sentences, and agreed to sell Chunxiang, a "money-losing goods".

Chunxiang was sold by her biological father, and she was very aggrieved, and she suffered a lot in the hands of human teeth. Therefore, she has always had no good impression of people like stepmother and little wife.

Xianglian and Chunxiang also suffered a hard life, Xianglian's family suffered, and all her relatives were gone. Xianglian has always thought that she is the only one left in the family.

Chunxiang felt that she and Xianglian had the same illness, so they became more intimate.

No one understands Xianglian's feelings better than Chunxiang, even though Xianglian has always refused to say what happened to her family in the past, but Chunxiang saw Xianglian holding a silver lock more than once, crying silently. More than once, she talked about her brother's interesting story.

Just now Xianglian said that her younger brother is still alive, and with Chunxiang's understanding of Xianglian, Xianglian will definitely save her brother at all costs.

However, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma, no matter how much Chunxiang understands Xianglian, she can't forgive her for betraying her master.

"Xianglian, why are you so confused?" Haruka hated iron a little, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet, and there were tears in her eyes.

Xianglian knew that Haruka was really disappointed in herself, so she lowered her head and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Haruka, it's my sister who let you down. I did it, and I will never give up. Don't be as foolish as me in the future, and take good care of the princess. You know? Even at this time, Xianglian still didn't forget to tell Chunxiang.

Song Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, "Xianglian, don't you believe me and the prince so much?" Why do you have to do all the problems yourself? ”

Xianglian looked at Song Yi with surprise in her eyes, but more tenacity, "Princess, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

"Do you think I'm such a cautious person that I don't investigate the people around me?"

"Princess, you ......" Xianglian was shocked.

"You don't have to doubt it. Even if I don't have this ability, the prince does. In fact, he has already investigated your origins. I'm just waiting for you to tell me about it. Unexpectedly, I waited until the last moment, and I didn't wait for your confession. ”

Xianglian is finally convinced that the princess has known her secret. But she is not what the princess said, she doesn't believe the princess, but ......

Song Yi saw that Xianglian showed some signs of collapse, and waved the others away, leaving only Xianglian and Chunxiang.

"Princess, what the hell is going on? Sister Xianglian, she? Although Chunxiang was angry with Xianglian, she still hoped that there was a reason for it, and Xianglian was forced to do so.

"Let Sister Xianglian, tell you yourself" Song Yi spoke slowly, and his tone was unbearable.

"Princess, when did you find out?" Xianglian asked.

"When did I find out? I think it should be when Haruka talked about Taeyan's unruly style. You were angry, as if you had been through the same experience. At that time, I was skeptical. I wonder if you've ever met someone like Taeyan? So, I begged the prince to investigate your background for me. The prince's people have already investigated your life history, but I didn't ask because you didn't say it. I just thought that when you feel that you believe in me enough and believe in the prince, you will take the initiative to say it. But I didn't expect it, but I waited for your betrayal. ”

"Princess, you really know" Xianglian's tears couldn't stop flowing, her eyes were full of remorse.

"Princess, what grievances does Sister Xianglian have, I'm confused" Chunxiang was so anxious that she couldn't do it, but neither of them explained, so she could only get angry in a hurry.

"Chunxiang, you shouldn't call her Sister Xianglian anymore, you should call her Miss Tao, right?"

After hearing this, Xianglian stiffened, and only looked at Song Yi and Chunxiang with a wry smile.

"Sister Xianglian, was your original surname Tao?" Haruka never knew Xianglian's original name.

"Yes, my original name was Tao Hong. I am a native of Datong, Shanxi, and my family has been farmers for generations. Although the family is small, only our family of five remains. Although it is hard, we live a very simple life. I thought I would live happily ever after. ”

"I didn't expect such a quiet day to be ruined by one person. One day, a richly dressed boy passed by my house with two subordinates, and happened to meet my sister who had just returned from the town. That boy took a fancy to my sister and wanted to spoil my sister. At that time, there were no adults in the family, and my parents went to the fields. My brother and I were the only ones left at home. ”

"When the brute saw that my sister would not comply, he used me and my brother to blackmail her. My sister had no choice but to be ruined. Afterwards, my sister was afraid that her father and mother would be humiliated, afraid that the village people would gossip, and she was unwilling to live in the world, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Princess, did you know? At that time, I watched my sister throw the well. I was only five years old at the time, and my brother was only babbling. We don't even know why my sister is dying."

"After my sister died, the people in the village accused my sister of being an unclean woman and did not want to let her go to her ancestral grave. My parents were honest farmers and never had a grudge against anyone in their lives. But what's wrong with my sister, it's clear that she is the victim, but she can't be buried even if she dies. ”

"The gossip of the people in the village made my parents unable to raise their heads. My father was furious, and after much inquiry, he found out that the brute was the son of the squire of the town. Because the family has money and the county government is covered, he has become a little bully in my hometown. Bullying men and women all day long is a well-known evil boy in our town. When my father found out who the enemy was, he found someone to write a complaint and filed a complaint with the county government. ”

"But the county magistrate was in cahoots with the squire, and not only did he not redress our grievances, but also said that we were extorting others for the sake of money, and beat my father to eighty boards. My father was beaten to the ground, and my mother had to pull him back. That day, it was snowing heavily, and my father was severely punished and could not walk. My mother could only use a flatbed truck to pull my father home from the county seat, all the way for more than 20 miles, and my mother alone pulled my father, and I could only carry my younger brother and follow my mother. But when we arrived at the door, we saw only ruins. It turned out that the squire blamed us for complaining, so they let people burn down our house."

"When the people in the village saw us, it was like hiding from the plague, and our family of four could only live in the broken temple at the entrance of the village. There was no possessions, no money, it was freezing, and my father was seriously injured and soon died. My mother felt that there was no hope of revenge and no way to live, so after taking care of my father's funeral, she took my brother and me out of her hometown. After a long journey, my mother finally broke down, but she couldn't rest assured of our sister and brother, so she took me and my brother to the river together, wanting to follow my father and sister. Unexpectedly, I was rescued, but my mother and brother were gone. ”

Speaking of this, Xianglian cried so well that she was not sad, and tears fell like rain.

"I can remember, but my brother was just a three-year-old. I thought he wouldn't have survived, so I kept pretending he was dead. ”

"Incense...... Miss Tao, no, Sister Xianglian, haven't you taken revenge all these years? Chunxiang listened to Xianglian's story and was very angry, and she felt even more pity for Xianglian.

"Yes, why don't I want revenge" Even after more than ten years, Xianglian still gritted her teeth.

"After I was rescued, I was helpless and taken in by well-wishers, but the family also lived a very difficult life. In the end, he sold me to someone else to be a girl. I ran out and returned to my hometown, but unexpectedly, my hometown suffered and flooded. The squire's house, which ruined my sister and ruined my family, was also broken into by the bandits who came down the mountain to rob, and the whole family was killed by the bandits. The village where my family used to live was also flooded, and everyone in the village moved away. The county magistrate was even reported for bending the law for bribes, dismissed from office and imprisoned."

"It's over my hometown, and I feel like I've got my wish. I wanted to die a hundred times, but I was rescued again, and I came to Kyoto and entered the real palace. The days with the princess were the happiest days of my life, and I thought that I had fallen into a nest of happiness since then. But just last month, I was told that my brother was still alive."
