In the backyard of Prince Gong's Mansion, the food was simple, and the leftovers were untouched. Bai Xiaohui's eyes were red, and she looked at the food angrily, with tears of grievance rolling in her eyes.
"Why, why should you treat me like this?"
Her throat was choked with sobs. She had never thought about this life of falling from the clouds to the earth.
Tao Hong, the personal maid, didn't dare to show her excitement, and waited on her side carefully.
When there was a knock at the door, Bai Xiaohui looked happy and quickly wiped away her tears. She thought it must be Beichen Yixuan who sent someone here to keep her cold for many days. She didn't believe that he would be so heartless. After all, a few days ago,
He also doted on her to the core. She didn't do anything wrong, but she had a conflict with the woman who seemed to be the princess that day. Did he treat her like this?
But she knew that even if it was a big mistake, she was the Queen Mother's niece after all, and he would definitely not stay cold to her like this for the rest of her life.
She thought it was Beichen Yixuan who sent someone here. When she opened the door and took a look, all the excitement on her face disappeared.
"why you."
The woman in front of her was what she hated to see the most. She didn't understand. The Mei family had already declined. What qualifications did this woman have to show off in front of her? Come to see her during the Lantern Festival. What?
Come to see her laugh?
She was not polite: "What are you doing here?"
Xiaoyu was about to say something, but Mei Xianer stopped her: "Wait at the door, Taohong, you can go out too."
The two girls went out and closed the door. Bai Xiaohui looked arrogant and indifferent. She thought Mei Xian'er was here to laugh at her and make sarcastic comments. Unexpectedly, after the door was closed, Mei Xian'er suddenly faced each other on her knees.
Then she knelt down.
"What are you..."
She panicked for a moment, but then snorted: "What are you doing?"
Mei Xian'er didn't speak, but kowtowed to Bai Xiaohui three times, then stood up again, with tears in her eyes, which made Bai Xiaohui look a little panicked.
"You, what on earth are you going to do?"
"After all, the prince is also our husband. Xiaohui, I just ask you to use everything you have in the future to save the prince's life."
"What do you mean?" Bai Xiaohui looked slightly panicked.
"The Emperor is dying. It will only take a day or two."
Bai Xiaohui was startled: "The emperor is going to die."
After saying that, he quickly and carefully covered his mouth and looked at Mei Xian'er: "Didn't you say it's getting better?"
After being locked up in the backyard for many days, she naturally didn't know what was going on outside. When she was locked up, she heard that the emperor was showing signs of improvement. He was about to die after just over a month.
It was naturally impossible for Bai Xiaohui not to know the stakes involved in the emperor's death. As for the new emperor's rank, the one who would bear the brunt of the disaster must be their prince.
At that time, everyone knew that their prince was always in trouble with the prince and wanted to be crown prince.
Since ancient times, it is impossible for a new emperor to become a king or lose a bandit without taking action against the prince.
Bai Xiaohui finally knew why Mei Xian'er came today: "Do you want me to use my family's power to try my best to keep the prince safe?"
"yes."
Even if Mei Xian'er didn't say anything, she would still do this kind of thing, but now that Mei Xian'er said it, she snorted coldly: "How can my mother's family's power be lower than your mother's family's power? Why don't you go and beg you?"
Father."
Mei Xian'er felt pain in her heart and resisted the tears in her eyes.
"Xiaohui, I will leave. From today on, you will be the mistress of Prince Gong's mansion. My natal family will bring disaster to the prince. I will take this disaster and go far away. Please..."
"You can go, the prince can agree, huh!"
Bai Xiaohui looked at Mei Xian'er coldly, and Mei Xian'er's face looked a little miserable: "Don't worry, once I leave, even if the prince is unwilling or agrees, he won't be able to keep me."
With such a tragic smile, Bai Xiaohui's smile grew thicker, and she reached out and patted Mei Xian'er on the shoulder: "This is the best, don't worry, I will take good care of your children and my prince, you are
The stain on the prince should have been wiped clean long ago, when will he leave?"
"tonight."
"Go, don't let me know that you lied to me, otherwise, your child will leave before you."
Bai Xiaohui's eyes were fierce, Mei Xian'er nodded, smiled, and gradually felt relieved.
If she dies, Bai Xiaohui will become the mistress of Prince Gong's mansion and will definitely spare no effort to preserve Prince Gong's mansion.
With the power of the Bai Xiaohui family, it is at least possible to save Prince Gong's life. What's more, the Queen Mother is also Prince Gong's biological grandmother. When the time comes, I'm afraid she will definitely not leave him alone.
Beichen Yixuan's only weakness and leverage is her. As long as she leaves, as long as she leaves, everything will be fine.

At this time, the palace was brightly lit, and the emperor was dying. His sallow face was thin, and his pair of cloudy eyes were wandering in the air. His breath faintly highlighted a few words: "Where is the imperial concubine?"
Everyone thought that the emperor was ill and confused. Didn't he personally order the imperial concubine to be thrown into the cold palace?
The young eunuch stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there is no more imperial concubine."
The sallow man was startled, and then said: "Where is Prince Gong? Prince Xuan Gong has entered the palace."
Hearing this, the little eunuch nodded, walked out of the room, and asked the queen who was waiting outside for instructions: "Queen, the emperor wants to see Prince Gong."
The queen's face turned ugly for a moment.
"Go and tell the Emperor that Prince Gong is infected with cold and is unable to enter the palace."
Yes, the little eunuch hurried in to report, and came out again after a while, carefully asking for instructions: "The emperor said that he wanted to see the imperial concubine."
The queen's face became increasingly ugly, and she pushed the young eunuch away: "I want to go in."
The little eunuch quickly stopped him: "The emperor said that he doesn't want to see you, the queen, right now."
"presumptuous!"
The queen shouted coldly, and the frightened little eunuch fell to his knees on the ground: "My dear, please forgive me, it is really hard to disobey the emperor's order."
"Get out of my way."
The queen raised her foot to kick the little eunuch, but was stopped by a voice: "Mother."
Looking back, it was Beichen Mofeng, wearing a long gown with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, coming with a group of minions.
Seeing her son, the queen felt even more aggrieved and indignant. She walked up to Beichen Mofeng and said, "Your father actually refuses to see me and insists on seeing Prince Gong and his mother."
"Then let him see you!"
Beichen Mofeng's expression was unusually cold, and the queen's eyebrows tightened: "Prince, why are you so confused? If he met Prince Gong and his son, and suddenly made up his mind to redraft the edict, then..."
"Mother!"
A pair of black eyes glanced at the queen with a complicated expression, and he smiled indifferently: "If the edict is drafted again, it will definitely not be able to bring out the Longju Palace. Let him see it."
——Digression——
It’s so evil that I can only update it by 2000 for the next five days. After I came back from the trip, I started writing the ending right away. In fact, it’s almost done. There’s still one plot that I haven’t written yet. I originally wanted to give it a try last night and finish the ending.
came out, but it turns out that unless I go at a speed of 10,000 per hour and code for 6 or 7 hours, I can’t even think about it, hahaha.
