When Wu Epidemic came back from the palace, he was just in time for Zhao Xiqing to prepare a table of meals, Zhao Xiqing was obviously taking advantage of the fact that the family had not been together for a long time, and secretly planned to catch up with Wu Bao.

learned from Ruyue that Zhao Xiqing's warm invitation, Hua Rongying didn't want Du Yao to pay attention to this matter at first, in Hua Rongying's opinion, Zhao Xiqing was an insignificant character, no matter how Zhao Xiqing fluttered, he would not turn the situation around in the end. But Du Yao doesn't think so, Du Yao always feels that Zhao Xiqing is a person worthy of attention, not to mention Zhao Xiyan's status in the Fang Mansion, just say that Zhao Xiqing survived to the step of the prince's concubine without the support of her mother's family, her ability cannot be underestimated.

Under Du Yao's insistence, Hua Rongying couldn't resist her, so she had to agree to go with her.

When Du Yao and Hua Rongying came to Zhao Xiqing's residence, Wu Epidemic had not yet arrived, and as soon as they entered the inner and outer rooms, Du Yao was attracted by the food on the table.

Seeing the delicacy of the meal, Du Yao could guess that Zhao Xiqing had used her heart in this matter, and thinking so, she also admired Zhao Xiqing's perseverance.

"The crown princess is here, and the concubines greet the princess."

Seeing that the person who came was Du Yao, Zhao Xiqing's heart was not too comfortable, she thought that with Du Yao's physical condition, she would not attend the meeting, which meant that she could whisper something with Wu Yao.

"Your Highness is still in the future, you and I don't have to be so formal."

"The crown princess's illness is not yet cured, don't stand, sit down quickly."

After sitting down with Zhao Xiqing, Du Yao looked at Zhao Xiqing carefully.

Today's Zhao Xiqing is dressed very gorgeously, wearing a rose-red dress with a big peony embroidered on it.

"The side concubine's dress today is very flattering."

"Concubine Xie Niangniang praised, how can such a small fight as a concubine be able to enter the eyes of Niangniang?"

Listening to Du Yao's praise, Zhao Xiqing was somewhat unable to grasp Du Yao's thoughts. Du Yao's illness has not improved yet, and she doesn't care about dressing up, but this beauty blank is still a beauty blank in the final analysis, even if her face is haggard, people can't help but feel pity when they see it. At this time, she regretted a little, she shouldn't have invited Du Yao here.

Du Yao didn't know what Zhao Xiqing was thinking, she didn't like to talk too much with Zhao Xiqing, but as the hostess of the Prince's Mansion, she still had some things to do.

"The affairs of the house have been handled smoothly in the past few days?"

On the day Du Yao woke up, he specially recommended Zhao Xiqing to Wu Epidemic to preside over all matters of the Prince's Mansion, according to Du Yao's words, Zhao Xiqing is also an old man in the Prince's Mansion, and it seems that he is more handy in doing these things.

"Niangniang, please rest assured, the concubine will do her best to take care of the affairs of the house."

"His Royal Highness and the palace both feel that the side concubine is a rare housekeeper, and the palace still needs to take care of this disease for a while, so you have to worry more."

"Rest assured, the concubine will live up to her mission."

"Okay."

Just as the two were greeting, the appearance of Wu Epidemic broke the original tranquility.

Seeing Wu Plague, everyone in the house saluted him, but Du Yao was supported by Wu Plague, and his lightly leaning body was helped back by Wu Plague.

"You are not yet well, so this gift will be spared."

"Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette, I hope Your Highness will think twice."

"These rules are all set by people, so why should you stick to them?"

Noticing that Zhao Xiqing looked at her with some hostility, Du Yao still argued with Wu Fang with an unchanged face.

"Your Highness, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

"What is etiquette! Could it be that these minions raised by the crown prince will not be able to report the news! If anyone has such a rotten tongue, this prince will not be spared! ”

Wu Bao's words became more and more certain, which made Zhao Xiqing, who was sitting on the side waiting for a long time to say the last word to him, feel very sad.

Looking at Wu Bao and Du Yao's affectionate appearance, Zhao Xiqing hated it so much, but it was a pity that she couldn't do anything now, and she didn't have the courage to compete with the three princesses of Qi Yan Kingdom.

"Your Highness."

Hearing Wu Yao's overly angry words, the flower shadow beside Du Yao was startled at first, she turned to look at Du Yao, and after seeing Du Yao's calm face, her heart was slightly relieved.

Du Yao's sentence of "Your Highness" somewhat woke up Wu Plague, who had already been carried away, and after returning to his senses, Wu Plague realized how confused his actions were.

"Your Royal Highness, the concubine carefully prepared these meals today is not for you and Niangniang to wait here, Ruyue, make the shadow girl, and serve His Highness and Niangniang to eat."

"Yes."

Zhao Xiqing, who knows how to see Wu Epidemic's previous gaffe, just wants to show it in front of Wu Epidemic, and give Du Yao a favor by the way. In fact, Du Yao didn't need her at all, but she wanted Du Yao to owe her a favor.

Zhao Xiqing's attentive actions in exchange for Wu Bao's appreciative eyes, after sitting down, Du Yao looked at the two of them in her eyes, and her heart swelled with inexplicable restlessness.

Coming out of Zhao Xiqing, Du Yao didn't say a word along the way, and the flower shadow on the side looked at Du Yao's sullen appearance, although he intended to say something, but the taste changed when the words came to his mouth.

"What? Lost? ”

"What Senior Sister said, Du Yao doesn't understand."

At this time, Du Yao had long since lost the mind of bickering with the flowers, and her heart was constantly struggling, as if there were two forces that were evenly matched, making her unable to start.

"Your face is full of sorrow now, don't worry, Zhao Xiqing's small role will not affect you."

"Senior sister, I never seem to have mentioned that Zhao Xiqing will affect me, senior sister is doubting my ability?"

"Yao'er, you know I didn't mean that. Your ability is obvious to everyone in the past few years, but you still can't control your heart, and you still can't be ruthless with those old people. ”

"I'm not as cold-blooded as you."

"If I hadn't been cold-blooded, how would the Oblique Rain Building have lasted to this day! How much mess do you think I've cleaned up for you in so long! ”

"The same is true of cold arrogance? Then you two really have a heart! ”

"Du Yao, don't think that you can be lawless now that your wings are hard, I never feel that I owe you half a point, if it weren't for my brother who told me and Lian Chen in every way before he died, how could we take care of all this for you!"

"You're finally willing to tell the truth."

At this point, Du Yao's cheeks were already moist. Some things are only half-guesses if they are not said, and once they are spoken, they will be difficult to recover, and there will be no repentance.

Looking at Du Yao's increasingly ugly face, Hua Rongying also knew that Fang Cai's words were too heavy.

"Yao'er, I'm sorry."

"What's the use of saying I'm sorry now, I'm tired, go back."

Maybe at this time, Du Yao hadn't figured out the knot that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and she couldn't let go, and she couldn't let go.

Although she didn't want to mention the things back then, it didn't seem to be something she could control, and after so much, she couldn't turn back. She silently recited it countless times in her heart, and she loved Herd Wuji.

Yes, she loves He Wuji, but He Wuji also died because of her. Many times she blames herself, if she hadn't given her heart to He Wouji in the first place, would all this not have happened, if she could be her second miss of the National Teacher's Mansion well, waiting for Wu Zhen to marry her, He Wouji would not have taken a risk!

How about the oblique rain building! What about the country! These have nothing to do with her! The reason why she insists now is only because of him who has been in her heart for a long time.

But how long can her persistence last?

The kiss was lingering, and no matter how she justified it in her heart, she had to admit that her heart had shifted to Wu Epidemic.

This is not right! I love Hew-Ki! I want to avenge him! I want to avenge my dead souls! I want to make the Wu family pay! ……

The words lingered in my ears over and over again, and I couldn't get rid of them for a long time.

Perhaps, this is fate, and the fate that is too late to escape will only trap her to death.

Now she is no longer the second lady of the National Teacher's Mansion, nor is she a princess, the only thing that remains unchanged is that she is still respected by others as Niangniang, but she has already become the crown princess.

These are things that she would never have expected five years ago, who is she to blame for all this, and who will be responsible for all this!

In the end, she is still the one who bears all this silently......

Back in his courtyard, Du Yao locked herself in her room and saw no one. No one knew what this was for, only Hua Langying understood the pain in Du Yao's heart.

It was night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. The evening breeze caressed and took away many people's thoughts.

When Wu Yao came to Du Yao's room, he happened to see the scene of Du Yao standing by the window, and the lonely back only felt distressed in Wu Yao's eyes.

That inexplicable affection can't even be said by himself, maybe because of her difference, or maybe because of her past.

With such a strong woman, can he really bring her happiness? She married him because of love or because of family interests.

Wu Bao didn't dare to imagine, he was afraid that he would get an answer. How he wanted her to love him, but he didn't want her to go against her heart either. Perhaps, he is more afraid, afraid that what he has paid so much in exchange for a beautiful smile is just a smile.

"Didn't Your Highness come in without saying hello?"

From the moment she started fighting Wu Epidemic, Du Yao had sensed his existence, and the reason why she didn't poke him earlier was because she wanted to see what he would do, but he just stood quietly not far from her, staring at her.

Some feelings can be known without words, Du Yao is a wonderful person, how can he not know that Wu Yao has a deep affection for him.

This was what Du Yao was looking forward to at the beginning, but for some reason she was not happy at all now.

Perhaps, she has long been unable to control her heart.

"I just came to see you."

"Your Highness, sit down."

Closing the window, Du Yao came to the small machine and poured a cup of tea for Wu Bao.

Seeing Du Yao's haggard face, Wu Yao's heart also hurt.

"Why is your face so bad? But didn't get a good rest? It's cold at night, wear more, you're not in good shape now, remember not to catch a cold. ”

"Your Highness, taste this tea."
