"Yunlan suffered a lot from Hua Xiyue," Ming Feng took a sip of tea, "Yunlan was not favored in her family, but she was not tortured to death by her stepmother, Madam.
There are some capable people, and what Yunlan is best at is showing weakness, pretending to be weak, and letting the enemy relax their vigilance, and then she will show her claws and bite you hard, trying to get a fatal blow."
Yunlan couldn't let Hua Xiyue go, because she was too pampered. Yunlan didn't have Hua Xiyue's prominent family background, her father was just a minister, and she didn't have the blessing of her family. Even her appearance was inferior to hers.
In terms of appearance alone, it is not impossible that the beauties in the harem are more stunning than Hua Xiyue. Yun Lan also took action from this aspect, but the late emperor doted on her, as if he was fascinated by something, and always
She was excessively arrogant. Even though she suppressed her concubines and abused her slaves, the emperor at that time turned a blind eye. Hua Xiyue really enjoyed exclusive favor.
Even the queen at the time was somewhat neglected.
"Yun Lan is well aware of the extent of the emperor's exclusive favor towards Hua Xiyue, so he finally changed his strategy."
She started with the prince. The sixth prince had not been able to eat walnuts since he was a child. At that time, Hua Xiyue went to visit the prince and brought only a bowl of porridge. It passed through the hands of others on the way, which led to her future ending.
Hua Xiyue was very good to her own children, but even though she did not do anything cruel to the princes born to other concubines, they were tortured to some extent by her - when the sixth prince was eight years old, she found an excuse to punish him by kneeling on his head.
Two hours in the snow.
After eating walnuts by mistake, all the maids in Li's concubine's palace were transferred away in the name of Hua Xiyue. Some were bribed and some were transferred away. At that time, Li's concubine was visiting the imperial garden with Yun Lan, and the entire Jinglan Palace was unexpectedly...
No one noticed anything strange about the Sixth Prince.
I don't know who closed the ventilation window, and whose hand covered the mouth and nose of the child who had difficulty breathing.
The twelve-year-old little prince died in the bitterly cold winter of that year.
The prince died, the emperor was angry, the concubine Li went mad, the concubine Mu was in confinement, and Yunlan Wenwen had a night of joy in the countryside. In Ming Feng's memory, that winter had no color, but was extremely cold.
"No matter how angry the emperor was, he was not willing to throw Hua Xiyue into the cold palace. He just imprisoned her in Xihua Palace. She was not the first one Yunlan dealt with, but even until Hua Xiyue died, Yunlan did not
The one who really wins.”
In the Xihua Palace, the dagger Bai Ling poisoned the wine Yunlan Concubine.
"How is Concubine Mu lately?"
Hua Xiyue smiled mockingly, but she didn't know who she was mocking. She seemed to be the same arrogant and indulgent Hua Xiyue, and she had not become embarrassed and lonely because of everything that happened during this period.
This kind of pride is deep in the bones. Even in dangerous situations, she is just indifferent to the dangers. Such Hua Xiyue makes Yunlan jealous.
Why? She is a high-ranking eldest lady, but she can only walk through the mud. As soon as she enters the palace, she is a treasure held in the hands of the emperor, but she can only survive step by step carefully and prevent all kinds of intrusions.
Even in such a dangerous situation, Hua Xiyue was able to remain calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, and she continued her superiority, but she seemed to never be able to defeat her.
What a fate.
"You don't know whether I'm okay or not?"
Yunlan smiled, she was the winner, no matter what, she was the winner.
"The imperial concubine really flatters me. How could I know the imperial concubine's condition?"
Hua Xiyue stood up and fiddled with the withered flower, "I have to say, I really didn't expect this move. What I didn't expect was not that I would be framed like this, but that you were the one who planned all this.
.”
Yun Lan said nothing, just looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.
Hua Xiyue smiled, "You have a principle that you will never use your children as bargaining chips. I never expected that in order to deal with me, all your principles and bottom lines have been turned into decorations. How lucky I am!"
Yunlan didn't smile. Mingfeng was beside her, but he couldn't guess what this woman was thinking. In fact, he didn't know that when Yunlan did this, when he broke through the offline for the rights of a harem,
What's on your mind.
Hua Xiyue approached her, she was always smiling, "And why, is it the sixth prince?"
Yunlan's face seemed stiff for a moment, but Hua Xiyue didn't seem to see it.
"Let me guess," Hua Xiyue stroked the strings on the side, "I remember a year ago, your precious son Chenglan fell into the water and contracted the cold, which caused the disease. Was it the sixth prince who did it?
"
Yun Lan just looked at her and said nothing, but if you pay close attention, you will find that the corners of her mouth seem to be twitching.
"You seemed not to care about and comfort Concubine Li on the surface. The Sixth Prince obviously did this on purpose. Otherwise, after your son fell into the water, he would have called for help instead of running away directly. However, you told this matter
I suppressed it and told the emperor that the two children were playing carelessly. Yunlan, how did you feel at that time?"
Yun Lan looked at her expressionlessly. She didn't expect that Hua Xiyue, who had always been pampered and spoiled, would also be able to see into people's hearts, "What do you think?"
Hua Xiyue laughed, sat down again, held her chin up, and looked at her with interest: "I guess, what you were thinking at the time was, wait for me, you damn boy, sooner or later I will
I will take your life to avenge my son's drowning, right?"
Hua Xiyue: "So when you think of using this method to deal with me, your first choice is the Sixth Prince, right?"
"That's nonsense! Don't think everyone thinks the same as you!"
Yun Lan moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything. Hua Xiyue smiled even happier.
"Yunlan, Yunlan, you are much more ruthless than me. I am unhappy. I bully others. I am unhappy. I always show it on my face. I will never cause trouble behind my back. You are different.
Ah, you are just a venomous snake. You can bite people off guard and be fatal. I have to say, I really admire you."
Yun Lan sneered and said: "You are about to die, if you want to say something else, say it quickly while you can."
Hua Xiyue didn't seem to care whether she was alive or dead, and continued to talk about her reasoning: "You know that the emperor will not give up on me easily. In all the battles between women, you can't beat me.
You can't sow discord between me and the emperor. He dotes on me and helps me but ignores me. It is precisely for this reason that you can be so cruel to me, right?"
Of course, no one would answer her questions. Hua Xiyue laughed to herself for a while, then looked up at her: "What now? I'm going to commit suicide, right?"
If Hua Xiyue doesn't die, she will turn around sooner or later. Whether it's the power of her mother's family or the emperor's current partial attitude, Yunlan knows it very well.
"My own life, when you put the blame for these things on me that day, I no longer care about it. I am the winner or the loser, and I, Hua Xiyue, am not a person who cannot afford to lose," Hua Xiyue said softly:
"I can give you another gift to please him."
"What?" Yunlan has not yet reacted to Hua Xiyue's attitude.
"After my death, Chengyu and Baiyuan will be raised by you. Your Majesty has long heard of all the difficulties I have made to you. Isn't this a good opportunity to set an example of virtue and virtue?"
Yun Lan looked at her with a look of surprise and disbelief.
Hua Xiyue continued to think about herself: "Don't think that because I am imprisoned here, I can't get in touch with the outside world and become deaf and mute. I have a personal nanny who has been with me since I was a child. As long as I want, I can
How he died and how he was framed will be passed to the Mu family verbatim, to the ears of my father and brother. Compared with our family, what is your family? Oh, by the way, it will be passed to the emperor.
It's not impossible to hear it in my ears, I really want to see what his reaction will be under the underworld."
"you--"
"You don't have to get angry. I didn't say I was going to do this. It's not easy for you to climb to this point. I'm almost dead, so why ruin it? I want you to swear that you will raise Chengyu and Baiyuan.
, while using them to win the favor of the emperor, you must not mistreat them or mistreat them. You must raise them in peace and security, and no one can touch a hair on them."
At this time, Hua Xiyue fell into Yunlan's eyes, and suddenly she was different from the Hua Xiyue she knew before.
Probably at this time, she became not a royal concubine, nor the eldest daughter of the Mu family, but just a mother.
"How can I trust you? That nanny, maybe you made it up? Why should I trust you and do as you say?"
Hua Xiyue shrugged indifferently, "I didn't ask you to agree. Besides," she looked at her sympathetically, "I really have one less grandma around me, the one who beat you several times before.
The one who slapped me."
The expression on Hua Xiyue's face was "Aren't you mad at me?" which made Yunlan almost rush to strangle her to death.
Hua Xiyue lived her whole life proudly and never compromised until her death.
She was not a pure and kind person. Before she died, she was angry with Yunlan, and then drank the glass of wine neatly. When she fell down, she seemed to see her little princess covering her little prince's eyes, crying.
Looking here with tears in my eyes,
Don't cry, my mother-in-law is gone, I am very happy.
I'm sorry, my mother-in-law lost.
My mother-in-law can no longer accompany you.
But it doesn't matter, mother-in-law, I have tried my best to help you arrange a place for you, and your uncle will also help you take care of you. Your uncle is very capable.
Sorry, I can't... accompany you.
Your Majesty, I'm sorry for that promise, Xiyue.
When Yun Lan came out, she was holding on to the wall and breathing heavily - Hua Xiyue's analysis before her death was actually correct.
Ming Feng supported her with a worried look on his face - but no one knew whether he was really worried in his heart.
After Yun Lan completely calmed down, she waved her hand towards Ming Feng. For a moment, Ming Feng's body froze and he looked down at the knife inserted in his abdomen, which was a little weird.
He heard the woman say to him with tears in her eyes——
"Xiao Feng, I'm sorry."
Fortunately, he is a fox who has cultivated into human form and will not be stabbed to death by a knife so easily.
There is another thing that Yunlan has not thought of, and that is the emperor's expression when he learned that Hua Xiyue committed suicide.
As if he was crazy, he ran into Xihua Palace, hugging the already cold body of the emperor, and he cried.
No one knew, but Ming Feng knew that at that time, he turned into a fox and hid in that corner, looking at the emperor - Li Yanchen, crying so hard that he called Hua Xiyue's name.
"I'm sorry, Xiyue, I'm sorry, Xiyue, look at me, open your eyes and look at me! I am your Yan Chen, that silly boy, I..."
After that, Li Yanchen suddenly became depressed. He never had a night of spring supper and spent the whole day dealing with political affairs, so he died young.
"Hua Xi and Yuexiang died, and Li Yanchen died young. They were really a couple."
I don't know if Ming Feng's words were sarcastic or something else.
