Zhao Zhen was silent for a while, and in the dark, Yixuan couldn't see his face clearly, so he couldn't figure out his mood, and waited anxiously in silence.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhen smiled.

It's a bit of an empty kind of laugh.

He rubbed his hand into her hair and said, "After all, you didn't like me at that time." โ€

Yixuan opened her mouth in surprise.

"You don't like me, and naturally you won't think about me. There's nothing wrong with you just being loyal to what you're supposed to be loyal to. In your position, you have done a good job. In fact, if you hadn't hidden it from me, I would have rushed back to the capital to see my mother at all costs, and in that case, my prestige in the northwest would have plummeted, and I would not have the status I have today. โ€

"And not long after Your Majesty ascended the throne, I knew that you were hiding my mother's illness. I've never blamed you. I only blame myself for not being able to protect my mother. โ€

Zhao Zhen's tone was very soothing, a little, reminiscing about the past, and the people who listened to it were very comfortable.

He was never a complainer.

When Yixuan spoke, her voice was muffled, she rubbed her sour nose, and said, "Why do you always have to take things on yourself, it obviously has nothing to do with you." โ€

Zhao Zhen just smiled.

"You can blame someone for things once in a while, and it will make your heart feel better."

Zhao Zhen "um" and patted her back, "I know, let's sleep." Come here, I'll hold you. โ€

Yixuan was a little shy, but here she and Zhao Zhen were just two people, and in the middle of the night, she said "hmm" softly, twisted into his arms and snuggled up.

It's so warm.

*

Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen and Yixuan had breakfast alone, he went to the study to deal with official documents, and there were ministers to come in the afternoon, and the day was full of arrangements. Yi Xuan brought some things to Herui Hall.

The concubine didn't see her son coming, so she refused to eat breakfast in anger, and the porridge was cold. After Yixuan entered the house, she found that the atmosphere was very depressing, and the concubine closed her eyes on the kang to recuperate, and her face was pale, because she had not eaten breakfast. Hearing the movement, the concubine opened her eyes, thinking that her son was coming, and the smile on her face had been outlined for most of it, but when she saw that it was her, her face hung down and she stared at her coldly.

Yixuan met her gaze very fearlessly, made a formal salute, and called "concubine".

The concubine ignored her and let her be cold.

Yixuan didn't feel embarrassed at all, calmly looked around the room, and asked the maid, "Hasn't the concubine had breakfast yet?" โ€

"Back to the Princess, yes."

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "The porridge is cold, go change the bowl." โ€

The maid left with the porridge bowl in her hand.

When the concubine saw that this girl seemed to ignore her, she was very unhappy, and looked at her with a frown and disgust: "Don't you call around in my house, what kind of thing are you, dare to support the maid in my house?" โ€

Yixuan glanced at her lightly, and her tone was calm: "I am your daughter-in-law and the wife of the prince, and it is natural to care about the concubine." I called the maid in the concubine's house so that the concubine could have a hot breakfast, not for myself. โ€

The concubine spat on the ground, "Cat crying mouse!" It's good that you don't get angry with me, care about me? Phew, who wants you to care? Less embarrassing in front of me. What about my son, why can't my son come? Is it that you are a fox blowing the wind on the pillow and instigating him to ignore his mother? โ€

The corners of Yixuan's mouth sank downward, and her gaze gradually cooled. Her eyes were originally big, her eyes were pitch black, her eyes were bewitching in the shape of peach blossom petals, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and there was a tear mole in the corner of her eyes.

Cold sharpness.

It makes people's hearts hairy.

The concubine was embarrassed by the staring, sat up straight, and gritted her teeth: "What are you doing?" Want me to die, don't you? I'm telling you, if you dare to do it to me, Zhen'er will hate you for the rest of your life! โ€

Yi Xuan took a few steps closer to her.

The concubine hid back in fear, put her feet on the kang, looked at her with a frightened face, and swallowed saliva without saying anything.

Yixuan stood still in front of her, and the two looked at each other for a while.

The concubine actually didn't dare to look at her, but as a mother-in-law, how could she not even have the courage to look at her daughter-in-law? So I held on for a while, and I felt like my heart was about to pop out of my chest.

"The concubine should still pay attention to her words and deeds in the future." Yi Xuan said warningly: "The concubines of the first emperor, no matter what their background, have been taught by the etiquette of the palace, how can they be as open-mouthed as the servants in the market?" If you continue like this, your identity will be unconvincing. โ€

She spoke very slowly, not loudly, but there was a kind of intimidating power.

The concubine's eyes widened, shocked and angry.

"The prince said that he has business to deal with, and the concubine will be served by me. Therefore, the concubine can't wait for the prince if she waits any longer, so it's better to eat breakfast as soon as possible, so that she can take medicine next. โ€

The concubine was extremely angry, her angry teeth chattering, "You mean, I fell into your hands, and I can deal with me as much as you want, don't you?!" โ€

Yi Xuan looked at her in silence for a while.

"If the concubine doesn't need my care, that's fine." She paused for a while and said, "The concubine should live in the palace, why don't you let the prince tell the emperor and let the concubine go back to the palace to live?" โ€

The concubine never expected her to say such a thing.

"You're driving me away?"

"It's not."

The concubine was extremely disgusted with her attitude! As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she be obedient and please your mother-in-law? If her mother-in-law doesn't like her, she should try her best to make her mother-in-law like her, and she will do whatever her mother-in-law says, and she must not disobey at all!

Look at it, this is out of nowhere, and it's still so horizontal!

The concubine almost squeezed out these words from her teeth: "You get out of here!" โ€

Yi Xuan ignored her scolding, lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Concubine, you hate me so much, is it because of Lord Dening?" โ€

The concubine felt that she was very ridiculous, and said sneeringly: "What point of your body is not hated? โ€

"Which point?"

The concubine was stunned and let out an unbelievable "ah".

"I'm asking you, what is it about that people hate?"

Yixuan felt that her first impression was generally good, and she was also curious about what she was so hated about.

The concubine choked.

After a while, she said: "Your aunt Wen Zhiluo once wanted to set fire to me, and you are her niece, so naturally she is just as hateful!" โ€

Yixuan knew she would say that.

"Then why are you always so excited to see me, but you don't react when you see Wen Zhiluo's own brother?"

The concubine frowned, her eyes were obviously avoided, and her fingers were clenched together, "The Wen family is all hateful, but you are the most hateful one, you dare to seduce me!" โ€

"That's it?"

The concubine raised her head in a bluff and glared at her angrily, "Just by that, you should be cut with a thousand cuts!" โ€

Yixuan raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe a word of what the concubine said, there must be some other unspeakable secret, and the concubine herself didn't dare to say it.

If she asks again, the concubine won't tell her.

She nodded and asked, "Then how did the concubine know that it was my aunt who wanted to set fire to you in the first place?" โ€

Did you see it with your own eyes? Or is it hearsay?

It was absolutely impossible to see it with her own eyes, because she had never done anything like that, and if the concubine said so, it would be a clear lie. But if it is hearsay, then the credibility of the matter itself is very small.

The concubine stared at her for a while, and there was consideration in her eyes.

"Someone told me."

"Who?"

The concubine sneered, "Why should I tell you?" โ€

"In order to find out the truth of the year and find out the source of the rumors."

"Okay, I'll tell you." The concubine said disdainfully: "It was he who told me the little yellow gate that was executed by Wen Zhiluo back then." โ€

Yi Xuan's expression, which was quite loose just now, suddenly became solemn.

Regardless of whether what the concubine said was true or not, the little yellow door was already dead, who could ask something from the mouth of the dead man? It is difficult to verify the truth of this matter.

Whether it was really that little yellow door who went to tell the concubine with bad intentions and came out to confess his guilt and send him to death, or whether the concubine deliberately put the blame on the dead little yellow door in order to avoid her verification, this matter must have something to do with that little yellow door.

Otherwise, there are so many palace people in the palace, why did he come out to die?

It's a pity that she was busy with Zhao Yan's ascension to the throne, so she didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters, and directly gave the little yellow door to death.

Check patiently, you can always find some clues.

Yixuan decided to entrust this matter to Wei Xiang, and Wen Changbai could also help, because Wen Changbai was searching for palace people who had served Concubine Gong, and the old palace people would always have a little impression of the little yellow gate at the beginning.

Thinking like this, Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief again.

The maid came back with hot porridge. Yixuan invited the concubine to go down to the kang for dinner, and the concubine "snorted" and made an unreasonable request.

"Call Zhen'er to come, I won't eat if he doesn't come to see me. If he can't bear to let his mother starve to death, don't come! โ€

"Don't you really want to eat it?"

"Don't eat it!"

Yixuan nodded, "Then please go to a place with me, I want to ask the concubine to see someone." โ€

"Who?" The concubine glared at her warily.

"You'll know when you get there."

The concubine thought for a moment and said stubbornly: "I won't go!" You wicked slut, I don't know your methods yet? If I go, I won't fall for you! โ€

Yi Xuan smiled, "Since the concubine is not afraid of starvation, why should she be afraid of my methods?" Also, as I said, please watch your words and don't sound like a shrew. โ€

The concubine said angrily: "I'll scold!" It's only natural for me to scold you for being a slut! โ€

Yi Xuan picked up the cup on the kang table and slammed it, and the sudden sound startled everyone in the room, including the concubine.

"What are you doing?" The concubine was a little frightened.

Yi Xuan looked at her coldly, "The palace has the rules of the palace, if outsiders know that the prince's mother is so vulgar, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the reputation of the prince, and there will be some bad guesses about you." Therefore, for the sake of the palace, please put away your dirty and foul language, otherwise, there will be no place for you to stay in the palace. โ€
