Zhang Wanyin never expected this disaster. Xu Anjiao would die, and something happened to her on her wedding day.
Because of this matter, she has not yet consummated her marriage with Prince Duan. Prince Duan has been at Yu Yuxi's place almost all the time in the past few days. Thinking that this was originally her wedding day, she had to deal with the funeral and leave her husband.
Given to another woman, Zhang Wanyin couldn't help but feel angry and jealous.
I am angrier and more jealous than when I was in the palace.
Is Yu Yuxi really dying? She doesn’t believe it!
This time, Zhang Wanyin even guessed that Yu Yuxi did it. Only Yu Yuxi was the most likely, but she couldn't find any evidence. Others even said that she was more likely than Yu Yuxi.
After all, although Yu Yuxi and Xu Anjiao didn't get along well, they had been together in Prince Duan's Mansion for a while, and Yu Yuxi had always been the one giving in between them.
Yu Yuxi had an excellent reputation in Prince Duan's palace. Not only was she loved by Prince Duan, she was also generous to her servants. It was said that she even saved the life of a servant who was about to die.
Compared with her, who was thrown aside as soon as she entered the house and was only seen as handling affairs, Yu Yuxi was the one who received countless favors.
Everything was entangled in one place, and Zhang Wanyin finally got married. The person she married had the feeling of someone else in her heart, and this feeling weighed heavily on her and made her uncomfortable.
Of course, she couldn't just sit back and die.
She checked the Yu sisters and found that the relationship between the two was extremely bad. She heard that Yu Yuxi was disliked by Marquis Xuanping, largely because of Yu Xijiao. At this time, she desperately needed Yu Xijiao.
She had sent someone to guard her early, and the person guarding it was Yu Xijiao. She guessed that the person coming from Xuanping Mansion was also Yu Xijiao. In order to show her contempt for Xu Anjiao and Princess Minghe, Yu Xijiao was the most suitable.
Sure enough, she was asked to wait until she found someone. I heard that Yu Yuxi's maid was also there at the time, but she was the royal concubine in name, and Yu Yuxi would not compete with her openly.
"Miss Yu San, I know you are extremely smart, and there is something I want to say to you." She pursed her lips, and seeing that Yu Xijiao didn't speak, Zhang Wanyin had to continue speaking on her own.
"Princess, you're welcome. Princess, please speak." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Miss Yu San, I would like to ask about the situation when Madam Hou paid homage. I heard that in addition to people from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, there were also Concubine Xu and Concubine Yu."
Zhang Wanyin went straight to the point. This was a very important point she got from the information she inquired about. Since then, the relationship between Xuanping Mansion and Yu Yuxi has become cold.
"What do you want to ask specifically, princess?" Yu Xijiao said unmoved.
Zhang Wanyin opened her mouth, her mood seemed very low, but she spoke honestly: "Many people think that Concubine Xu's matter has something to do with me, but in fact, I just entered the mansion that day, how could I know where Concubine Xu lived and what happened?
The lake she would pass by on her way over."
Yu Xijiao felt that she shouldn't say this to herself.
Since Zhang Wanyin said this, she just listened without interrupting Zhang Wanyin's words. She raised her watery eyes and listened quietly to Zhang Wanyin's continued words.
"Miss Yu, please help me." Zhang Wanyin stood up and bowed to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao helped Mingyue stand up and leaned to the side, not accepting her courtesy.
"Princess, please tell me something. If I can do it, I will definitely help." Yu Xijiao said, if she can help, of course she will, but if she can't, how can she help!
I really felt ridiculed in my heart. A moment ago, Zhang Wanyin was still trying to kill her, but now she looked like she had a very good relationship with her, and even looked like she was confiding in her heart. Zhang Wanyin really looked a bit like the queen.
With a warm and kind face.
When I need you, I am my best sister. When I don't need you, I will never hold back when I stab you in the back, I just want to kill you with one blow.
"I know it may be wrong to think this way, but at that time, besides Concubine Xu, Concubine Yu was the only one in the mansion. If anyone else has the ability to do this, besides Concubine Yu, I can't think of anyone." Zhang Wanyin sat down again,
He sighed and kept his eyes on Yu Xijiao while speaking, observing the expression on her face.
She was certain that there was something going on between Yu Xijiao and Yu Yuxi, and it was definitely not the rumors heard outside. It might also have something to do with the Qian family.
"Princess, I don't know what you mean by this, but you are Princess Duan and the real master of the Duan Palace's backyard. Aren't you afraid of saying this?" Yu Xijiao suddenly smiled, with a faint smile.
, not reaching the eyes.
Has it passed? It has indeed passed. Even if she doubted Yu Yuxi again, these words should not have come out of her mouth.
"I...I'm just desperate..." Zhang Wanyin's eyes suddenly turned red, "I know what I said was unworthy of my duty as a princess, and also unworthy of my honor as a concubine, but...but that's what I think,
If you help me this time, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay Miss Yu San."
Zhang Wanyin said eagerly, and the following words almost blurted out. She looked particularly sincere, and she felt that she was really desperate and would say such disrespectful words. She was very weak and helpless.
"Princess, you have always been dignified and polite, and you have always been raised under the Queen Mother's knees. Now you say this to me, it is really too much!" Yu Xijiao said again with a serious look on her face. This was to test her own intentions.
After saying that, he stood up to say goodbye.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhang Wanyin became anxious. She had already started the matter and had no intention of turning back. "Miss Yu, do you want to know the secret of the jade pendant?"
Yu Xijiao paused slightly and looked at Zhang Wanyin with watery eyes.
Sure enough, I am interested.
Zhang Wanyin's voice trembled slightly: "Miss Yu, I am willing to use one of my father's secrets in exchange for your help this time. No matter what happens in the future, I will never repeat the request again, let alone implicate Yu because of this matter.
Three girls."
"Princess Duan, do you know what you are talking about?" Yu Xijiao said after being silent for a while.
"I only know...if I can't clear away the suspicion this time, I, Princess Duan, will be nothing more than a decoration in Prince Duan's palace." Zhang Wanyin said sadly, her eyes immediately turning red, "This is actually my father's secret.
It is also the only secret left by my father. It has a slight relationship with the Southern Tang Dynasty, but actually it is not that big."
Yu Xijiao sat down again: "Princess, I really don't know how to help you!"
Yu Yuxi finally waited for Yu Xijiao.
Jin Yu was overjoyed when she saw Yu Xijiao coming slowly at the gate of the courtyard. While calling people to report Yu Yuxi, she took two steps to greet her: "I have seen the third girl."
Yu Xijiao's eyes were as indifferent as ever, and she walked towards the main room. The woman who was leading the way stepped aside and waited respectfully for her to enter the room before turning around and leaving.
Jin Yu looked at the old woman warily. She was someone close to the princess.
In the inner room, Yu Yuxi's face was pale and haggard, making her look sickly. She looked up at the door and saw Yu Xijiao, and tears fell down before she could speak.
"My dear, your health is important. You can't be sad anymore. The imperial doctor asked you to be more open-minded, but you can't be like before, which will hurt your body." Jin Yu took two steps to the bedside and consoled her.
Yu Yuxi shook her hand and sat up holding Jin Yu's hand.
She looked so thin that there was almost only a handful of bones left. She was alive at this moment, but she was really about to leave the next moment. She tried her best to purse her lips, and suddenly waved her hand.
Everyone else waiting in the room retreated.
"Sit down." Yu Yuxi said to Yu Xijiao with a wry smile.
Yu Xijiao looked at her silently, then sat down on the chair beside the bed, looking at Yu Yuxi with watery eyes, but did not speak.
"Do you think I...should be like this?" Yu Yuxi wiped her tears and asked suddenly.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Yu Xijiao said.
"I know...you may think that I deserve it, and that I...just treat it like this, but these are my mother's wishes, and this is what my mother wants me to do. Can you blame me for these? It's my mother's wishes, and my mother will fight to the death.
What can I do to make me comply with her wishes? There is nothing I can do."
Yu Yuxi was filled with grief and anger.
Yu Xijiao's eyes were as calm as ever.
Today was really a good day. Everyone was speaking to her sincerely, and they all expressed that what they said was the truth.
It was really ironic. One or two of them felt that she was actually very easy to deceive. Each of them pretended to say a few words to them sincerely, completely changing their previous strategies, which made her very uncomfortable for a moment.
Habit.
The meaning of these words is really not surprising. Looking at Yu Yuxi's tangled and painful expression, she may have fallen into the lies she made up and was moved by herself.
Others don't know what happened to Qian, so how could Yu Xijiao not?
Even with Qian's character, she couldn't sacrifice her life to fulfill Yu Yuxi's life.
This is beautifying the Qian family, and also beautifying herself into a filial daughter who has to do it entirely because of the Qian family. No matter how painful, fearful or difficult, she will obey her mother's wishes. After all, the mother at that time had already done it for her.
She gave up her life.
This reason is really outrageous.
Yu Xijiao even felt that Yu Yuxi was feeling genuine pain and sadness now. She was suffering and sad because of Qian's death, but she had no self-blame or regret.
She told a lie so many times that she even believed it herself.
This ability is truly extraordinary!
"Mother... what she said... I am just a concubine. She was afraid that I would not even have the chance to enter Prince Duan's Mansion in the end. Princess Duan was raised in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's most beloved niece, and Princess Minghe's eldest daughter.
My granddaughter, and I even blame my father because of my mother."
Yu Yuxi said in pain, but no longer shed tears. She looked at Yu Xijiao with red eyes, "Third sister, can you blame me for these things? My mother decided it, but it was too late when I found out. I... what can I do?
What should I do? I have to obey my mother's will in everything, otherwise I will be unfilial and my mother will be in vain... she will die in vain!"
"So, Mrs. Hou is dead!" Yu Xijiao's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Yu Yuxi heard it, and she reached out to cover her chest...
