Xu Zhao died, and committed suicide by taking poison.

After hearing the news, Xie Jun went to Hongfu Temple like crazy, and only saw Xu Zhao's last face; Master Huiyuan also comforted Xie Jun, as for what he said, only God knows.

Emperor Cheng Ji felt like the culprit who killed his daughter, no matter who he looked at, including himself.

Mrs. Chu took Princess Zhaohua to Hanyuan Palace to ask for a visit to His Majesty, but the emperor still didn't see anyone from the harem, so he only ordered Mrs. and Princess to return to the palace.

"Mother?" Princess Zhaohua pulled Mrs. Lachu's sleeve and whispered.

"Xinfang, let's go back." Mrs. Chu thought about it and said.

Mrs. Chu's mother and daughter returned to the palace, and Princess Zhaohua sat beside her mother with some grievances: "Mother, my father doesn't even want to see his daughter now, how can this be good?" Mother? ”

Looking at her daughter's face similar to her own, Mrs. Chu sighed helplessly: "It's the woman that your eldest brother brought back, she not only confused King Qi, but also confused your father." Now she is finally dead, but she still doesn't stop, and she still makes waves. Xinfang, it's all because the mother concubine is incapable and can't do anything. ”

Princess Zhaohua didn't understand why Mrs. Chu said this, and asked, "Mother, do you mean Sister Xu Zhao?" The daughter once saw her once, and the eldest brother took her to Fengyitai, and met her daughter when she left the palace. The daughter thinks that Sister Xu Zhao is very kind and not a bad person. ”

"Xinfang, if you don't follow, you won't know. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is tired of our mother and daughter because of that woman. When Mrs. Chu mentioned Xu Zhao's name, her face distorted with hatred.

"But isn't Sister Xu Zhao the person next to the eldest brother?" Princess Zhaohua was even more puzzled.

"Your Majesty has four princes and three princesses, do you know why I like you the most?" Mrs. Chu's expression was stunned, Xu Zhao's appearance ruthlessly shredded her illusion of self-deception over the years, and she even wanted to tell her daughter those facts that she couldn't accept, "Your Majesty and Empress Zhaozhen have an illegitimate daughter, who is older than King Qi and Princess Guanghua, and she has a crescent moon birthmark on her neck, but that girl died not long after she was born. Shinfang, you know what? That Xu Zhao, she also has a crescent birthmark, you say this is not ridiculous? ”

Princess Zhaohua's face turned pale: "Crescent moon birthmark? ”

Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter with a sad smile: "I still remember the joy of Your Majesty when you were born, because you also have that exact birthmark, and Your Majesty has always felt that you are the reincarnation of that girl." ”

"Mother, why? I don't want it, I'm just Xie Xinfang, I'm not the sister who is no longer there. Princess Zhaohua was so anxious that she was about to cry, she had never known about these things, but now her mother told her herself.

"Until now, I don't want to think about what Yuming can do, Xinfang, the only thing the mother can believe in is you." Mrs. Chu said to her daughter with tears; As a mother, she knows Xie Xuan too well, and since she was a child, her daughter Xinfang is smart and wise, no worse than Xie Xuan.

Princess Zhaohua nodded, and let her mother hold her hand: "Mother, Xinfang will not let you down." ”

Xu Zhao was posthumously named a princess by Emperor Chengji, although she was still a righteous daughter.

Xie Jun went to see Xu Zhao off for the last time, and after he came back, he fell seriously ill; Princess Ji Ruoli of Qi took care of King Qi wholeheartedly, and others called her a good wife and mother.

Mrs. Yan visited King Qi's mansion in person, and I don't know what she said to Xie Jun, but it is said that King Qi vomited blood after Mrs. Yan left, and his condition was very critical; But after that, King Qi's illness miraculously improved, and he didn't look as kind as before.

During the serious illness of King Qi, Princess Guanghua and King Xie Xuan of Jin both visited the door, but they were both refused by Xie Jun because he was seriously ill.

Until Mr. Haiyi, the advisor of the King of Qi, came, it was Ji Ruoli, the princess of Qi, who personally welcomed Mr. Haiyi in; When Mr. Haiyi saw Ji Ruoli, he looked at her a few more times, and asked, "I heard that the princess is Ji's girl." ”

"Yes, the concubine was born in Huizhou." Ji Ruoli replied warmly.

When he entered the study and saw Xie Jun who had just recovered from a serious illness, Mr. Haiyi only gave up; Xie Jun was fiddling with the chess game, so he motioned for him to sit down opposite: "Sir, help me see how this game can be broken." ”

Mr. Haiyi looked at the chess game and thought about it, then looked up at Xie Jun: "Your Highness has something on your mind?" Is it related to Miss Xu? ”

"My mother came to tell the secret, saying that Ah Zhao is my own sister. Isn't that particularly funny, you say? Xie Jun was also laughing, as if this was really the biggest joke in the world.

"Isn't Miss Xu a Xilin woman?" Mr. Haiyi thought it was strange.

"My mother said that she was the illegitimate daughter of my father. It turns out that everything about me and Ah Zhao is a joke, and this is really a joke. Xie Jun sneered, but his heart was extremely bitter.

Such a ridiculous thing happened to him, what kind of sin did in his previous life!

Mr. Haiyi shook his head thoughtfully: "Your Highness might as well think about it again, you can understand that there are actually many loopholes in this." After all, now that Miss Xu is gone, no matter what she says, there is no proof of death; His Majesty and Niangniang have indeed worked hard for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness can also think clearly about the mysteries. ”

Hearing Mr. Haiyi's words, Xie Jun's face sank, as if he was thinking about this possibility, so he didn't say a word.

"After all, the princess is a woman from the eight tribes of the Central Plains, and after all, she is the wife of Her Royal Highness Ming Media; His Royal Highness will never forget Miss Xu's affection, but in the end, the princess is also a poor person, so His Royal Highness should treat the princess better. When His Royal Highness will inherit the throne of the world one day, he will no longer need to be controlled by others. Mr. Haiyi guided with a deep meaning.

"I understand, and I understand a lot of things this time." Xie Jun's expression softened a little.

"Miss Xu is indeed innocent." Mr. Haiyi sighed.

Xie Jun continued to lower his head and fiddle with the chess pieces, and only after listening to what Mr. Haiyi said, "Wen Yuan is not talented, and Mr. Lao will have to worry a lot in the future." ”

Mr. Haiyi arched his hand: "What His Highness said, this is what a contemptible person should do." ”

Xie Jun couldn't help but smile: "Mr. has always had a brilliant plan, and he doesn't have to be tied up in the future, just do what he did according to the original plan." As for the princess, in the final analysis, she is just a person who can't help herself; The Ji family has always ignored the affairs of the government, but the uncle's family is too fierce, what does Mr. think of this? "The mother family and the wife family have always been the strongest support for the prince, but the Yan family sometimes always drags him back, so Xie Jun is really helpless; And the Ji family, who has the name of his wife's clan, why should he and Ji Ruoli help him if they are in the current situation.

Mr. Haiyi laughed dryly: "Your Highness should understand that nothing in this world is necessarily impossible. ”
