Chapter 4: The Wanderer's Return

After returning from Cining Palace, Su Zirong was depressed, she sat in the room in a daze, sometimes crying, sometimes muttering to herself, Ziling was afraid that she would be stimulated, and she was very worried.

However, what made Ziling even more puzzled was why Su Zirong had such an abnormal reaction just now in Cining Palace? She said that "I remembered the past for a while", what kind of past did she have?

Ziling walked over, gently put her arm on Su Zirong's shoulder, and asked her, "Sister Rong, are you ...... Are you okay? ”

Su Zirong suddenly turned around, hugged Zi Ling's waist, leaned his head on Zi Ling's stomach, and couldn't help crying: "Sister Ling, my child...... My child is gone, gone...... Concubine De brought me a bowl of bird's nest, saying that it was rewarded by the Queen Mother...... Who knows, there is saffron in the bird's nest......"

Ziling listened to Su Zirong's words, and was extremely surprised in her heart - it turned out that Sister Rong was also pregnant with a child! And her child was killed by Concubine De! No wonder, a person like Sister Rong, who has always been plain and kind, hates Concubine De so much, I see!

Zi Ling hurriedly pulled the chair next to him and sat down, reached out and gently wiped away the warm tears on Su Zirong's cheeks, and asked distressedly, "Sister Rong, what the hell is going on?" What happened? ”

Su Zirong sobbed and said intermittently: "After Concubine De stole the letter I wrote to my cousin, the emperor sent me into the cold palace in a fit of anger...... A few days later, Concubine De and I were pregnant at the same time, but who knows, they concealed that I was pregnant and did not tell the emperor. ”

"Later, Concubine De brought me a bowl of bird's nest, saying that it was given to me by the Queen Mother...... Sister, I was as simple as you at that time, how could I have thought that she would want to harm my child? My child is gone...... like that" Speaking of this, Su Zirong couldn't help crying.

"Then doesn't the emperor know? Why didn't you tell the emperor! It seems that Meng Hongyu really didn't know that Su Zirong was once pregnant with his child! Zi Ling was really angry, and Su Zirong didn't even tell Meng Hongyu about such a big thing!

"How can I tell the emperor? The Queen Mother said, if I tell the emperor, she will say that the child in my womb is my cousin's! When the time comes, not only will I be in a different place, but my family and cousin will also be affected! Whining...... How can I tell the emperor? How can I ......" She lay on Zi Ling's shoulder and cried bitterly.

"Therefore, in Cining Palace just now, would Sister Rong be so abnormal?" Zi Ling stroked her shoulder and asked distressedly, "Then why did Sister Rong go to Cining Palace with me today?" Didn't you never go to Cining Palace? ”

"After yesterday's incident, I have a sincere relationship with the emperor, my heart is like ashes, and I want to ask the Queen Mother to let me go out of the palace and let me go to Jiuhua Mountain Ganlu Temple to practice, so I went with you."

"Over the years, what the hell has my sister ...... How did you live......" Thinking that Su Zirong was silently enduring such a huge pain alone, Zi Ling couldn't help but redden, "Zi Ling originally thought that my sister was just disappointed in love......

"Sister Ling, falling in love with that man is destined to be a catastrophe, whether you can survive the rest of your life depends on his reward......" Su Zirong said heartbrokenly, "Until now, I finally saw ......"

What about me? Will I be able to survive the disaster? Zi Ling couldn't help but secretly ask in his heart-Meng Hongyu, what kind of ending will you reward me?

The two of them were sad to themselves, Aunt Qiu Ji came to report that Bai Rushuang was coming, Su Zirong wiped away her tears, and said in a cold tone: "You tell her to go back, I don't want to see her!" ”

"If I don't see my sister today, I won't go back." Zi Ling looked back, but saw that Bai Rushuang was already standing at the door, her expression was resolute, and there was undoubted firmness in her tone.

Ziling knew that Bai Rushuang was here to reconcile with Su Zirong, so he instructed Aunt Qiu Ji to step back and give them a space to talk freely.

Bai Rushuang entered the room, and Aunt Qiu Ji gently closed the door and left.

Su Zirong sat on the chair indifferently, didn't turn his head to stare fixedly at the wooden flower outside the window, and never turned his head to look at Bai Rushuang. Zi Ling could only stand quietly, not knowing whether to break the suffocating silence.

Suddenly, Bai Rushuang knelt down on Su Zirong's knees with a "plop", her tears dried up, and she sobbed: "Sister Rong, I really don't mean to harm you!" It was my brother who told me to apologize to you sincerely and told me to get along with you. That jade pot ice was transferred to you by my brother...... Whining...... I can swear to God...... I really didn't mean to hurt you......"

Seeing Bai Rushuang's heartbroken and remorseful appearance, Zi Ling couldn't bear it: "Sister Rong, Sister Rushuang is also an unintentional mistake, sister, you can forgive her." ”

"Hey......" but Su Zirong let out a long sigh and shed two lines of tears, "Your brother and cousin are like brothers...... This jade pot ice is still destroyed in my hands after all......"

Su Zirong pulled up his thin sleeve and gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, turned around, and lifted up as white as frost, with a sad smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth: "Get up!" It's all my fault after all......"

Bai Rushuang slowly stood up on the table, because she knelt for a while, her legs couldn't help but weaken, and Su Zirong hurriedly supported her. Bai Rushuang raised her head, with tears still in her eyes, and she said to Su Zirong gratefully, "Thank you, sister." ”

Su Zirong helped Bai Rushuang to sit down on the couch, Ziling hurriedly poured her a glass of water, Su Zirong looked at Bai Rushuang, as if she had something to say, but she looked like she wanted to say something.

Bai Rushuang saw that she was hesitant, knowing that she had something to say, so without waiting for her to ask, she spoke: "Some time ago, the fourth prince secretly went back to the capital, stayed at my house for a few days, and then left Beijing. ”

"Did my cousin say where he went?" The corners of Su Zirong's eyes glistened with tears, and he asked faintly, "He...... How are you doing now? ”

The "cousin" in Su Zirong's mouth is Meng Hongyu's fourth brother, Meng Hongye, the king of Luoyang! Meng Hongye's mother, Su Lanruo, is Su Zirong's aunt and the first emperor's favorite concubine, so Meng Hongye has been loved by the first emperor more than other brothers since he was a child. Back then, the first emperor intended to appoint Meng Hongye as the crown prince, but because the queen mother and the Lin family obstructed in every way, the Su family was no match for the Lin family's power and intrigues, and Meng Hongye passed by the crown prince.

When he was young, Su Zirong once accompanied his mother into the palace to visit Concubine Lan, and Meng Hongyu, who was still the prince at the time, secretly fell in love with Su Zirong after seeing him. Later, Su Zirong ran for the crown princess, Meng Hongyu was very happy, and insisted on making Su Zirong the crown princess, but the queen mother did not follow, and wanted to establish Lin Yueyu as the crown princess, the two sides were deadlocked, and the position of the crown princess was vacant.

Meng Hongye and Su Zirong have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, he has been silently liking Su Zirong, after Su Zirong became Meng Hongyu's side concubine, he was heartbroken and disheartened, and began to linger in the Qinglou wine shop, indulging in the gentle township, like stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate himself, gradually, the "Merry Prince" Meng Hongye is famous all over the world.

After Concubine De stole the letter and framed Su Zirong, Meng Hongyu learned of Meng Hongye's intentions for Su Zirong, Long Yan was furious, Meng Hongye knew that it would be difficult to live at the feet of the Son of Heaven again, so he left the imperial capital and wandered the world......
