Hua Yanxi stared at the guards in front of her, her lips slightly raised: "Why, you guys think so too?"
Ah Ying and others did not dare to look at Madam's face. They cursed Ah Yu in their hearts and felt more regret.
How can they place their hopes on a person with abnormal brains? What they say is good at the front, but what the hell is behind it.
It's impossible for normal people to believe it, let alone a very smart lady.
"I bought you guys, right?"
"Yes, Master."
In the past, Hua Yanxi might not have thought too much when she heard these words about Madam, but once she had doubts in her heart, all the clues were connected bit by bit to form a big web.
Even the ordinary title is a bit more suspicious than usual.
Hua Yanxi's thoughts changed: "Send people to search everywhere to see if they can find those people. After all, they were lost at the door of our house, so we should look for them no matter what."
After saying that, before anyone could say anything, Hua Yanxi said: "If you can't find me, I will punish you for dereliction of duty and kick you out of the house.
Several people looked at each other, and when they agreed again, their expressions were a little more solemn.
When the guards dispersed and everyone started busy with what they were doing, Hua Yanxi did not go to Ye Yibai. Instead, she went to sit in a pavilion in the courtyard.
From here you can see the atrium, which is the home of today's banquet.
The servants were sorting away the leftovers, taking away and setting up the table, and were busy. Compared with them, Hua Yanxi looked even more alone.
From the time she came here, everything she did was for that person, and everything she did was for him, but now, she felt that everything was so ridiculous.
Perhaps, Ye Yibai was secretly mocking her for not knowing her own abilities, and she was more like that fool.
If the emperor didn't come today and he didn't hide his temper, would she still be kept in the dark by him and take everything into his own hands?
The more she thought about it, the more depressed Hua Yanxi felt.
She was no longer an innocent girl. She thought she had already seen through people's hearts and was immune to all kinds of poisons. However, she didn't expect that she still fell into the trap.
"Yan Xi, why are you sitting here?" Yang Qin planned to come over to say goodbye to her. He originally thought that she would be taking care of Ye Yibai in the backyard, but he didn't expect her to be sitting here.
Although the expression on her face was no different from usual, Yang Qin could still see the depression in her heart at the moment.
"Foster mother."
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Yang Qin asked with concern.
Hua Yanxi didn't speak, she didn't know where to start, and she didn't have the habit of talking to others.
"Did the fifth prince make you angry?" Yang Qin asked clearly.
Hua Yanxi was stunned: "Why do you think it's him?"
In the eyes of uninformed people, Ye Yibai fell into the water and was lying in the room to rest.
Yang Qin smiled and said: "My adoptive mother is someone who has been here before, so I can see clearly."
Hua Yanxi stopped talking again.
Yang Qin sighed and sat next to Hua Yanxi: "Yan Xi, I know you are a mature child, and you are not a petty person. If you are angry, it must be because the fifth prince has done something to make you unhappy.
, you are still just a child, there is no need to try to be patient, being angry is not the privilege of the weak."
When Hua Yanxi heard this, her heart moved. She opened her mouth, pursed her lips, and repeated it several times before saying, "Foster mother, has his adoptive father ever lied to you?"
When Yang Qin heard this, he didn't understand anything. It was because he felt sad when he found out that he had been cheated.
"Have Yan Xi ever heard the fifth prince mention anything about his mother and concubine?"
Hua Yanxi frowned, how could she mention a person who was no longer alive so well.
"I mentioned it before, saying that I was not loved and ended up depressed."
"Not to be pampered? That's what those who don't know are saying." Yang Qin smiled, with memories on his face, and said slowly: "When that man was brought back by Jinshang, Jinshang was just a prince, and there was only one person in the house at that time.
The two concubines on both sides of the main concubine, who are now the empress and the two concubines, were all served by the late emperor during his time.
He granted the marriage. After the woman entered the house, she learned that she was already married, so she planned to leave. But then she found out that she was pregnant, so she stayed. Later, she failed to keep the child.
She suffered physical losses, and later, Jinshang ascended the throne and named her the imperial concubine, with a status second only to the queen."
"The imperial concubine was in poor health, and the emperor accompanied her day and night. She even treated the harem as a decoration, which even aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers. They thought that the concubine was a witch and deceived the country, so they begged the emperor to banish her to the cold palace. The emperor refused, but he had just settled down in the court.
, other forces in the court got involved, and finally compromised, relegating the imperial concubine to a corner, rarely visiting her, and even not moving her when she gave birth. Instead, they began to favor Empress Duan, who had just entered the palace."
"When the little prince was five years old, his mother and concubine passed away, and no one took good care of him. People in the palace worshiped each other one by one, and one can imagine how difficult life would be. When he was seven years old, he
He was teased by the palace guards, pushed into the pond, and had his head pressed repeatedly. Fortunately, my father passed by the imperial garden and rescued him. At that time, he was thin and small, and he didn't look like a seven-year-old child at all."
When Hua Yanxi heard this, she couldn't help but feel worried. He was only five years old when his mother and concubine died. He didn't know how much he had to bear during those years in the deep palace. Yang Ge only encountered relief once, so if he didn't
What about when we meet?
What can a child of this age do? He is alone and helpless, and even the palace people dare to bully him at will. If he didn't have some calculation, he would have died in the palace long ago.
"Then, his face is also..." Hua Yanxi pursed her lips.
Yang Qin sighed: "At that time, my father was angry with the palace man, so he punished him. Who knew that the man actually held a grudge and did not dare to do anything to my father. He actually spread his resentment on the fifth prince, sneaking in late at night and setting fire to him.
Burning down the palace where he lived, the fifth prince noticed
He ran out desperately, and although he saved his life, he also suffered various injuries on his body, and his face was ruined. From then on, the fifth prince became crazy, and my father felt uncomfortable every time he mentioned it.
It's a pity that the fifth prince is so talented and intelligent, but he ended up like this."
"An ordinary person cannot protect himself in the palace, let alone a mentally retarded person. Traces of beatings were often found on the fifth prince's body. What's more, after the fire, although the palace people were dealt with, the fifth prince was also regarded as unknown.
, and then the fifth prince was sent out of the palace to the current fifth prince’s residence.”
"So, I really can't blame him for this. For so many years, he has been confused and doesn't understand anything. No one taught him, so he can only live by instinct. If he really deceived you, my adoptive mother also hopes that you can
Understand him a little bit, but of course, you still have to be angry when you should be angry."
Hua Yanxi always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it now. It was just that her original disappointment and sadness seemed to be relieved a lot.
