Binglan knelt on the ground, tears falling, and her voice was filled with repentance but also extremely firm: "I deceived Your Highness, even if I die thousands of times, it is not enough to atone for my sins, let alone ask for forgiveness from Your Highness, I only ask for His Highness's forgiveness.
Take care of yourself and live a long life.”
"No! How could you, how could you be Concubine Jing's daughter? Binglan..." Xu Ning couldn't bear to hear this. She knelt down and took Binglan's hand, shaking her head with tears in her eyes and saying, "
This must not be true, right? Binglan, do you have any unavoidable reasons? You...you tell me..."
Lan Ling, who was guarding the door outside, heard such a loud noise coming from the house. Her eyelids jumped in shock. She couldn't help but walked quickly to the door and asked: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, you..."
When Xu Ning saw that she seemed to want to open the door and come in, she immediately yelled: "Don't come in!" Lan Ling subconsciously retracted her hand after being yelled at, but she was even more frightened. I'm afraid even Xu Ning herself didn't expect that one day,
You will also become a shrew yourself.
She looked straight at Binglan and asked softly: "Why? You know that marrying His Highness the Crown Prince is my usual wish. You know that I have been thinking about him since I was seven years old... I regard you as
As my sister, my mother, father and even the entire Xu family have never treated you badly..."
Xu Ning's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end there was only the sound of sobbing while covering her face.
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm sorry for Your Highness..." Binglan's heart was filled with endless shame and regret, and she didn't dare to look into her eyes. She just called "Your Highness" and then swallowed.
I couldn't help but cry.
The two of them have known each other since childhood and grew up together. From ignorance to marriage, the two have never been separated. The girl's throbbing that Xu Ning dared not speak to outsiders was only known to Binglan. But Xu Ning did not know that even
Their initial encounter was just a careful design by Concubine Jing.
Although Binglan did not do all this herself, she chose to cover up the truth for Concubine Jing and became an unforgivable accomplice.
"But she is my mother, and I have no choice." Binglan raised her eyes, and saw the undisguised disappointment in her eyes, and her throat was sore, "If there is an afterlife, I hope that I can meet His Highness again and be a good person."
The horse will make up for the sins committed in this life."
Seeing her kowtow to him solemnly, Xu Ning felt even more uneasy. She grabbed Binglan and didn't allow Binglan to get up.
"Are you crazy?" Xu Ning asked loudly, "She has committed a heinous crime and cannot be punished. How are you going to save her now? Do you want to die with her?!"
At the moment, Xu Ning's body was weak, and she was in shock and sadness. It didn't require much strength. Binglan just turned away slightly and got away from her hand.
"Miss..." Binglan lowered her head for a moment and looked at her affectionately, "She is my mother. I can't just watch her die. I have no face to face the young lady. From now on... please do more.
Take care of yourself."
"No!" Xu Ning cut her off sternly, but as soon as she stood up, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, her vision became dim, and her whole body went limp and she fell back.
Binglan placed her on the couch, carefully put a thin blanket on her, and said nothing. After a while, she turned around and walked towards the door.
"Sister Binglan," Lan Ling saw the door open from the inside and hurried forward to greet her. She asked worriedly, "You and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess...?"
"Keep your voice down, His Highness is asleep." Xu Ning turned slightly to let her see more clearly. Seeing her believing the truth, Xu Ning warned her seriously: "His Highness likes you very much. From now on, you will do your best by His Highness's side."
Just wait. Remember, Your Highness likes to be quiet, so you must not make too much noise, but you should talk to her more when she is alone to prevent her from having random thoughts."
Seeing her heavy expression, Lan Ling asked in confusion: "Why did Sister Binglan tell me this?" Then she grinned again, "Does Sister have something to do and needs to leave for a while? Your Highness may have been unconscious for several days! Sister
I don’t know, His Highness always praises Sister Binglan in front of us for her thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness... So we all know very well that His Highness likes you the most. As soon as your sister appears, Your Highness will definitely smile."
Why is she not? People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? After getting along day and night for so many years, how could she not sincerely regard Xu Ning as her biological sister. But God does not fulfill people's wishes, and things often go against one's own will.
, how great it would be if they could stay in Xu Mansion forever...
"Then thank you for your hard work." Binglan nodded to her, and turned her head reluctantly for a final look. When she looked back, tears had already burst into her eyes.
What happened that year has already determined today's outcome.
The majestic palace was silent at this time. Tong Zhuo stood outside the door of Qiankun Palace and looked at something solemnly, as if he was thinking about something but as if he was not thinking about anything. No one knew what he was looking at, because he had already
I haven't blinked in a long time.
Several masters were quarreling inside, and what they said seemed to have happened a long time ago, but it also seemed like it happened yesterday.
The fourth prince had been very intelligent, courageous and knowledgeable since he was a child, and he was very popular with the late emperor. The emperor could not compare with him in literature, nor could he defeat him in martial arts, so he could only rely on his status as the future prince to bully him. But no matter how angry he was,
However, it was just a fight between children. In his heart, the fourth prince was always his brother. Until one day, he overheard the conversation between the Queen Mother and the late Concubine Shu, and everything changed...
…
"Do you understand now?" Concubine Jing looked at Fu Yunqi, with a trace of pity slowly showing on her face, "Your dear and respectable mother did a lot of harmful things back then, but it was rare that she showed kindness to you.
, has allowed you to come back to this day. What a pity, what a pity. I have been calling my mother-killing enemy my mother-in-law for so many years. I wonder how you feel now that you know the truth?"
In the whole room, Chu Miaoer and Fu Yunqi were like two outsiders. Listening to others tell about Fu Yunqi's life experience that he didn't know, they felt unprecedented shock and despair.
"What about you?" Fu Yunchi suddenly turned around and stared at Fu Yanshuo, and said unhurriedly, "Then when did you know about it?"
Chu Miaoer also followed his eyes and looked at Fu Yanxuan. His expression was not much better than that of Fu Yunqi. Anger, fear and guilt flashed alternately on his face. Under Fu Yunqi's burning gaze, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since childhood,
Just know..."
"Since childhood?" Fu Yunchi considered these two words repeatedly between his lips and teeth, and then burst into laughter. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of sadness, but the person he regarded as a mother was smiling, and the person he regarded as an elder brother smiled.
People folded their arms and gloated over his misfortune, but no one felt sorry for him. This may be the sorrow of the royal family.
"Yun Qi..." Seeing him like this, Chu Miao'er asked softly, "Let's go back home first. Can we ignore the things here for the time being?"
But before Fu Yunqi could answer, there was a sound outside the door. Eunuch Cao had a clear eye and quietly walked to the door and looked through the crack in the door. Then he turned around and said, "I'm telling you, Your Majesty, it's the maid next to His Highness the Crown Princess who is asking for an audience."
Binglan? Why did Binglan come here? Could it be that Xu Ning woke up? Chu Miaoer gently tugged on Fu Yunqi's sleeves. Seeing that he was unmoved, she sighed slightly and had to carefully lift up her wide sleeves to cover her and hold Fu Yunqi's hand.
small actions.
Fu Deyou glanced at Concubine Jing with unknown meaning and raised his chin to signal. He didn't expect that Concubine Jing had given him such a big surprise. Now he needed to exert great restraint in order not to show his excitement that he was about to burst out of the ground.
I saw Binglan walking in with a smile, carrying a wooden tray. There were some snacks, tea, fruits and other things on the wooden tray, and a crystal clear white jade cup was placed in the center.
"My servant has met the Emperor, Concubine Jing, and the two princes." Binglan bent down and saluted in turn. From her gestures and gestures, she could be seen to be an extremely well-behaved person.
Although Fu Deyou didn't like the prince, he had a special regard for the prince's concubine Xu Ning, and he also had some impressions of this maid.
"Get up." He asked with a smile, "Is the Crown Princess awake?"
Binglan still lowered her head and said: "Back to the Emperor, Your Highness the Crown Princess has woken up. I heard that the Emperor and the two princes had been talking for a long time. I was afraid that the Emperor would be hungry, so I asked my slave to bring some medicinal food to nourish the spleen and stomach."
"Hahaha, the Crown Princess is interested..." Fu Deyou praised loudly, and he liked this daughter-in-law even more in his heart.
According to palace regulations, everything eaten must be tested with a silver needle before it can be presented to the emperor.
Seeing Eunuch Cao take out the silver needle, Binglan smiled and added: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said that Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away and the Queen was hit hard and is now bedridden. As a daughter-in-law, she should fulfill her filial piety. If it were not for her physical inconvenience, she would definitely do it in person.
Come on this trip.”
Fu Deyou, who was already happy with Binglan's words, became even more delighted. He waved his hand and said to Eunuch Cao: "What else is there to test? Can I still believe the princess's sincere filial piety? I happen to be thirsty, please bring it up quickly.
"
Now that the emperor has spoken, Eunuch Cao could no longer refuse. He took the wooden plate from Binglan's hand and walked towards Fu Deyou who was sitting on the high seat with a smile.
It's normal for everything to look good, but it's not normal, because Chu Miao'er seemed to see Binglan's hands shaking slightly, while Concubine Jing, who was so showy just now, was very quiet at this time, as if she hadn't seen anything, and stood still.
It's like a statue there.
Eunuch Cao handed the white jade cup to Fu Deyou with both hands, and Fu Deyou raised his head and drank it with a smile on his face without any hesitation. But at this moment, Chu Miaoer once again saw a sinister smile flash across Concubine Jing's face.
Fu Yanshuo and Fu Yunqi were confused, but Chu Miaoer behind them could see clearly. But how could the people around Xu Ning do things for Concubine Jing? What went wrong?
"Thank you to the Crown Princess for me, and let her take good care of her health," Fu Deyou said calmly after putting down the white jade cup, "After all, she is carrying the Crown Prince's only bloodline."
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of Her Highness the Crown Princess and live up to the Emperor's trust." Bing Lan still replied in a polite manner, making it impossible to find anything wrong, but the smile on Concubine Jing's face became increasingly weird.
