"Mother, you have treated me with all your heart and encouragement over the years, and my son will never forget your teaching and nurturing grace for the rest of his life. Our mother and son are both prosperous and lossy, and our son is not an ignorant person, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say. I also know what words will cause trouble. ”

The second prince sincerely took Wan Guifei's hand and said: "Mother, don't you trust your son? In any case, your son is also your son, even if you know the truth, your son will not have a grudge against you, because in a place like the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, there is no one who understands your hardships better than your son. ”

When Concubine Wan Guifei heard this, her eyes filled with water when she looked at the second prince: "God bless, it's good that you understand the hardships of the concubine." As long as you can understand, it doesn't matter how much the mother concubine suffers. It's just that where did you hear those unbelievable remarks just now? No matter how good Bai Zijin is, how can he be compared with my son? You are the child of the emperor and the palace, and the child who was easily conceived and born in October by the palace. How can you say that you are not born in this palace? How can Bai Zijin be said to be born in this palace?"

The second prince was suspicious.

Is it not admitted?

The second prince carefully looked at Wan Guifei's face, as if he wanted to see the slightest clue from Wan Guifei's expression, to prove whether Wan Guifei was telling the truth or lying.

However, how can a woman who has been fighting in the harem for many years be able to easily distinguish emotions from her look?

Wan Guifei seemed to remember the many difficult things back then, and her tears couldn't stop falling, "Do you remember the incident of Li Guifei when you were five years old, from the beginning of that incident, the mother knew that in this life, we girls can't escape the turmoil in the harem." ”

The second prince remembered that he was just a child, he was killed and fell into the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and the small palace people around him were actually bought by Li Guifei, and said in advance that something was wrong, and avoided it from afar. The lotus pond was originally not deep, but he was only five years old, and the silt in the pond was deposited, and it was still very slippery. He was crying, struggling and no one could save him, how desperate he was. If it weren't for his luck, he happened to catch Concubine Wan Guifei in the palace and couldn't find her, so he specially took someone out to look for him, and jumped off the lotus pond to pick him up at a young age regardless of his own danger.

It was also from that time that he began to understand that he was different from ordinary children, and knew that his living environment was impossible to be the same as the children of ordinary courtiers, let alone the children in the market who were greasy and coquettish in their mother's arms, or they would be naughty to climb over the wall and dig out birds' eggs.

When he was a teenager, there was a time when he hated his life and hated that he was unable to do anything about growing up in such an environment. It was also at that time that he clearly realized that in this place called the Imperial Palace, which was actually a dark purgatory, only Wan Guifei could trust and rely on him wholeheartedly.

Thinking of Concubine Wan's kindness to him, the second prince's heart couldn't help but soften. After all, the grace of nurturing and teaching are all experiences of genuine value, and they cannot be ignored by others.

Wan Guifei's love for him, he will always remember.

But if it really involves life and death, he has asked himself thousands of times, and he will never easily abandon the power of his life.

The current matter involves his net worth and life, and decides whether he will be able to be above 10,000 people in the future, or whether he will never recover, and he really doesn't dare to be sloppy at all. He also wants to talk about human feelings, and he doesn't want to do anything ruthless. But he wanted to live more, and he didn't want his life to be ruined by an irrelevant person.

If Bai Xiyun was really the prince, would he have spared his life? He believed that with Bai Xiyun's cleverness, if he had known the true situation, he would definitely not have left him with this way of life. And if their relationship is reversed, he becomes the prince who has been wiped out among the commoners, and he will never tolerate the person who took his place.

No matter how you think about it, it's either you die or I die.

Between life and death, all the choices he made were also forced. Even if he is reluctant in his heart, in order to survive, for his supreme position, he will only hesitate.

The second prince's heart hardened because of this contemplation, and he said faintly: "Yes, but I think the rumors seem to be true. ”

Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier, and a brilliant purple light tore through the sky, illuminating the diamond flower window pasted with Goryeo paper for a moment. also outlined the faces of Wan Guifei and the second prince in light and dark. Wan Guifei looked slightly pale and wrinkled, and a moment of horror and disbelief flashed on her nascent but still beautiful face. And the killing intent in the eyes of the second prince that could not be concealed was finally exposed.

Wan Guifei opened her mouth to scream, but at the moment she spoke, she was covered by a big palm, and the man's arm was full of irresistible force, pulling her to the bed in the dormitory.

Only then did Wan Guifei realize in horror that the person in front of her was no longer a small soft baby, nor was he a young man with a pure heart. He is now an adult man, a man who has inherited the blood of the Bai family, and is extremely selfish and ruthless!

I am afraid that he came into the palace in the rain today in order to kill people and kill people! He asked so many questions just now, just to confuse her! He chatted with her to relieve her boredom, and accompanied her to dinner, all of which was to make her think that he had no malicious intentions and let her relax her guard.

Wan Guifei was pressed on the bed by the second prince, and then was pressed on her face by the pillow. Her hands struggled to push and struggle, and even scratched indiscriminately, but she didn't hurt the second prince in the slightest, but let her strength and the oxygen she relied on to survive lose faster.

She thought that as long as she could live a serious life with peace of mind, she would be able to watch her parents and her adopted son live in peace, watch the well-behaved Brother Yuan grow up, and watch the family be safe.

It was she who was too naïve, overestimated her adopted son's humanity and underestimated his ruthlessness.

She knew she was going to die.

Tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes while he fell asleep, and he was immediately stained by the pillow.

At this moment, countless pictures flashed in Concubine Wan's mind, including joy, sorrow, regret, helplessness, the emperor, and the scene when they changed their sons, as well as when Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao entered the palace with Brother Yuan to visit her, obviously everyone didn't dare to have the slightest abnormality on their faces, but there was indescribable happiness brewing in their eyes.

With Qi Miao and Brother Yuan, her child will be happy, right? But the person in front of her who covered her head and face with a pillow was her son's biggest hidden danger.

No, no, she can't die like this, at least she has to remove the hidden danger for her children!

The pain of suffocation robbed her of her thoughts, and gradually, she was powerless to struggle or think, and her wrist wearing a white jade bracelet fell to the edge of the bed, touching the soft mattress without making the slightest sound.

In the quiet dormitory, you can only see the picture of the second prince kneeling on Concubine Wan's lap, bending down and pressing her face with a pillow with both hands, and you can only hear the heavy panting of the second prince in his rage.

I don't know how long it took, the second prince felt that his soul didn't know where to fly, and he finally came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the person under him had not moved for a long time.

Is it over?

Slowly took away the pillow, and when a familiar face with dead eyes and wide eyes and a slightly open mouth came into view, the second prince finally realized what he had done, gasped and sat aside, and threw the pillow away like a hot hand.

He killed his mother, he killed the mother who raised him!

No, how can he be blamed for all this? It is the impermanence of the world and the fate of fate! He must not let go of anyone who may hinder him or hurt him, and he must extinguish all dangers in the cradle.

The second prince came back to his senses instantly, quickly gave the pillow to Wan Guifei, took off the hairpin on her head and spread out her long hair, touched her face again, made her close her eyes, and then took off her robe and soft-soled embroidered shoes, let her only wear the middle coat and long skirt, lie down properly, and then cover her with a quilt.

It looked like she was asleep.

The second prince stood by the bed with shaking hands, looked at this familiar woman for a long time, and then laughed and said, "The mother concubine is sleepy, just rest, and the son will go back to the dormitory first." ”

Then he saluted decently, and after careful inspection, he made sure that he had left no traces, and turned to leave.

When he went outside, he saw Luo Xia and Sun Dequan, the second prince smiled and lowered his voice: "I just talked about the concubine and said that I was sleepy, this time I have already fallen asleep, don't go and quarrel with her, let her sleep peacefully, she is busy with official business on weekdays, and the concubine is really too hard." ”

Luo Xia and Sun Dequan smiled and bowed their heads, and Sun Dequan smiled and said, "Your Highness, will the slave send you to the dormitory?"

"Good. The second prince smiled, glanced back at the direction of the hall, bowed to Luoxia again, and went to the dormitory to rest as usual.

Luo Xia entered the dormitory, lifted the veil and looked inside, and saw that Wan Guifei had already removed her hair and slept peacefully, so she didn't bother her, carefully covered the veil, and slept outside for the night.

The rain poured down, and there was no thunder or lightning, but the rain seemed to wash over the bright tiles of the palace and the bluestone brick floor that had been stained with I don't know how many people's blood. In the silence of the night, how many cries were hidden.

%

In the grange, Bai Xiyun did not sleep peacefully. He felt like he was asleep. But the tense spirit was very clear, he could hear the sound of the rain, and he could also hear the cry of Brother Yuan'er and the comfort of Qi Miao's soft voice at night, and he could hear all this, but he couldn't open his eyes, as if he was caught in a nightmare.
