Kneeling on the white jade stone steps to welcome Shen Xiyao. I bowed down, and he personally supported each other. As he walked into the hall, he looked back at me, and I responded with a smile. The hall is full of princes and nobles, humeral ministers, harem beauties, and state envoys. He talked and laughed happily, I laughed sweetly. In everyone's eyes, there is a pair of loving and harmonious empresses, so tacitly, so proportionate. But only we know that everything is just a mirror of water and moon, not a manifestation of inner truth.

After Xihe brought Princess Rouran into the hall, the noise in the room was quiet. I fixed my eyes, but my eyes fell on the man. There is a smile on his face, like a happy smile. It's just that this laugh is the same as the laughs between Shen Xiyao and I, but made.

Until the ceremonial officer next to me took out the imperial edict and said: "Here is the princess Nangong of Rouran, Dan Zhong Cuimei, and Han Zhang show up. Gu Neng Wei Fan Sucheng, softness from far away, Xiu Ming internal Zhan, Shu external Zhao. So choose The applicants, try their best to follow the feudal kingdom. Shiguangshidian, Biye Lamou. Married to the fourth son of Emperor Daxi, Yuwang Shen Xihe, to show the sincerity of the two countries’ friendship. Hope the two of them?” I didn’t listen to the following words. A pair of eyes looked at the woman below.

This princess Rouran is really beautiful, beautifully decorated, bright palace, Gu Ying hovering, moving around. A room of elegance, mostly occupied by her. And because of the noble birth, his own elegant temperament is revealed.

There was a movement in my heart, this woman is worthy of being a princess of a country, and she is indeed worthy of Yu Wang Shen Xihe.

After the ceremony, two pairs of eyes always fell on me from time to time. One decisive, one deep. And I only brought the most moving, elegant, dignified, and noble smile, like an exquisite royal doll, watching various performances with unique tenderness and Daxi characteristics in the celebration. It seemed, very happy, very Comfortable.

Whose sigh sounded low in his ears, in that sigh, everything in his life was turned into a cloud of smoke.

I don't know when I returned to Kunning Palace, I don't remember anything, I only knew that I was drunk and thoroughly drunk. With only a vague impression, Xihe brought the princess forward, I followed the ancestral system of admonitions and then blessed, and then issued a golden seal and a golden book to Princess Rouran, so it was done. Princess Rouran officially became Princess Yu of Daxi, one of the most noble wives, and the person I admire most.

The Xihe wedding that I attended was equivalent to announcing that the queen was cured and the harem power returned to her hands. Concubine Yi was not unwilling at all. Instead, she complained to me that she was not suitable for handling everything and was really tired. Now I finally hope that I will be cured and I can rest for a few days.

After that, Shen Xiyao stayed in Kunning Palace for three consecutive nights. Although I didn't see him, he just slept in the apse, but he confirmed to the palace that the emperor was harmonious and happy, and all the rumors about that day were false.

I don't care about what he does, and he doesn't care if I'm indifferent to him. The most important thing right now is Haoyue.

According to her guilt, it would not be a pity to die a hundred times. But I know she is just being used by others, and what I really want to get rid of is the person behind her. At the same time, I also want to know, what on earth is it that made her want to subvert Ling's family over and over again, regardless of her childhood friendship?

The mottled walls, the stale straw, the choking smell, the torture device that emits cold light, and the gloomy cell where only a ray of sky light penetrates, is now empty, and it makes people feel that it is in the Jiuyou Difu.

When she reached the end, a woman sat on the rotten straw, her white dress was stained with a disgusting yellow-brown color, and her whole body also exuded a choking stench. Her hair was scattered around her shoulders, no longer the blackness and smoothness of the original, just like a mess of grass. The once beautiful face added a hideous scar from the corner of his eyes to the bottom of his lips, which looked as terrifying as a Yasha.

I looked at the familiar and unfamiliar figure inside. The innocent and carefree Haoyue in the mansion seemed to come from before me, smiled and held a plate of snacks, and said with joy: "What did Kanyue'er bring?" My favorite bergamot cake, or Yangzhi nectar. It was as if she lost the hairpin when she first entered the palace, and she risked her death to retrieve it from the Liufei Palace for me, and said softly before she left: "Miss, Yue'er will go back." But in a blink of an eye, this companion will protect me. The two Haoyues, who are cuddling together, filled me with poisoned wine with their own hands, and said that they would not harm me if they turned things upside down. Could it be that this harem is really a place that changes people's minds and temperament and makes people turn into demons?

"The lady has something to ask her, you can freshen her up and take it to the hall." Hui Ju said to the prisoner who came with her.

The man nodded hurriedly, instructed others to take Haoyue to freshen up, and greeted me into the front hall for questioning. It was much cleaner here, but the torture instruments on the wall glowed with a faint cold light in the candlelight, and there was a slight smell of blood. It's not going away.

Soon Haoyue changed clothes and was taken in, with shackles on her hands and feet. I motioned for her to sit down, then waved to the jailers and said, "I have something to ask her, you are waiting outside."

Several jailers showed hesitation on their faces, and one of them boldly said: "Back to Niang Niang, the emperor has instructed you to take good care of Niang Niang in safety, minions?"

I glanced at Xiao Xizi next to me, and said lightly: "Forgive her for not doing anything to my palace. Go down."

Seeing me resolutely, a few people said: "The minions are waiting outside the door. If there is any lady who shouts." Then they retreated.

"Haoyue, do you know what wrong you committed?" I said coldly as I looked at the woman with her head hanging down in front of me.

She raised her head, revealing a sullen face, and sneered: "What did I do wrong? It wasn't you who framed me."

"This is ridiculous. This palace thinks that you are not worthy of you, and did not do anything to sorry you. At the beginning of the Ling Mansion, the main palace you like must be given to you first. After entering the palace, you admire the emperor, and this palace will also find a way. The emperor loves you and teaches you skills. Why do you want to kill my father, poison me, and reverse things to frame me and King Yu?"

Haoyue squinted at me with a voice like Ye Xiao: "You and Wang Yu are at odds with each other, why should I frame it? As for harming you, huh," she suddenly burst into tears: "If I didn't know my life, it would be Treat you as a fairy like a fool, loyal to you."

"Your life experience?" I was taken aback. Haoyue was an orphan who was sold into the mansion by the tooth-wife. She only said that she was a farm child whose parents had died. She had a life experience again?

"My real name is Cui Yingxue, and I am the daughter of King Pan Cui Shicheng. At that time, your father framed my father for hoarding eight thousand soldiers to build bows and crossbows and bought people's hearts. He had a heart of disobedience. The queen mother ordered to investigate, but secretly instructed the shadow guard to assassinate. A fire ignited and no one came to save it, and the door was locked from the outside. More than 300 people in the house were killed. Who knows the relationship between the queen dowager and your father, the situation in the hall is basically the same as Ling Xiang. Pity my father is the country. Dedicated loyalty for a lifetime, but in the end came to a terrible end."

I was shocked that Wang Cheng's conspiracy did happen in this dynasty, and it was indeed the clue that my father discovered when he went to Nanyue to celebrate his birthday with the Cheng Wang. After a secret investigation, he played the emperor dowager. After seeing the incident, Cheng Wang didn't want to be humiliated. All drank the wine, then set fire to himself and died. When I was still young, I only heard my father complain about the tragic situation. He didn't intend to rush to kill him. He just wanted Cheng Wang to hand over the power to protect the throne of the little emperor.

Haoyue snorted coldly: "I have an identity comparable to you. I could have spent my life without worries or worry about being a concubine in the palace, but because of your father, I became a slave and maidservant, extremely lowly. Becoming a concubine, there is no backing and not being taken seriously, and living grievances!" She pointed at me with a **** finger: "You said, should I hate the Ling family, should I take revenge on you?"

I looked at her calmly, only to feel that she was almost madly trying to get rid of the shackles, and cried out, "I am the honorable county lord. Why am I a maid for you? Why am I a little nobleman? Want to live a life?"

Seeing that she couldn't control her emotions, her nose and tears made her face muddled. I couldn't bear to look any more. Xiao Xizi knocked her on the back of the neck suddenly and Haoyue fell softly. Huiju took a scoop of water from a water tank and poured it on her body, and Haoyue woke up in a spirited manner.

I wondered: "Do you have an impression of your own childhood?"

Haoyue shook her head: "How can there be such a small memory."

I smiled and said, "Then how do you say that you are a sincere prince?"

Haoyue threw up her clothes "sucking", and on her black body covered with blood and sweat, there was a flower-shaped birthmark under her left breast. She smiled triumphantly: "This is proof."

I frowned and looked at her, "Who told you this is the proof?"

"It's Concubine Hui." Haoyue said, "I was met by her when I was crying in Yuhuayuan. Later, I came to see me several times, telling some stories in my free time, and once about King Cheng." Haoyue wiped her eyes and said: " Her father had fought side by side with King Cheng and also went to congratulate King Cheng for getting a daughter. He heard that the nurse said that the peach blossom birthmark on the owner of the county was very special. Later, she felt that King Cheng was killed by Ling Xiang, and all the people in the palace were killed. Sincerely, the king is noble, and now the middle palace belongs to the little county owner."

"So you believe it?" I questioned: "On the basis of an unfounded birthmark, you have identified yourself as the prostitute of King Cheng, and you have determined that my father has harmed your family and that you have revenge? You? Without even looking for any evidence, just rely on her to believe it?"

Haoyue turned her face away: "This kind of birthmark is so special that everyone has it. Concubine Hui also said that since the Royal Palace is so big, there must be a secret way to escape. Maybe a pair of children escaped, but Li Daitao died. Son of an offender. It’s not bad to live incognito for a lifetime, but it’s a pity that it’s a family feud."

"So you think you are the little county lord who might escape?" I sneered, "I don't know whether there is secret way in the Royal Palace. I only know that the emperor said that the emperor was rewarded for his merits. People gathered in the main hall will not be false. The emperor indeed gave Cheng Wang a first-class father, a son who is hereditary, and his daughter is the head of Chenghui County, but at the same time he ordered the king to reprimand Cheng Wang for supporting the soldiers and self-respecting family. Wei uniform, he couldn't make the people drink the wine, but he went crazy after witnessing the tragic situation, and when he went crazy, he overturned the candlestick and caused a fire. The shadow guards confirmed that they were all dead before leaving. So how come the county lord escaped Said." I stared at her evasive eyes: "And you believe that you are the daughter of King Cheng based on a few nonsense words of Concubine Hui? Who have you confirmed with the daughter of King Cheng if there is a birthmark on her? The old man or the midwife? What's more, you also said that no one came to rescue the Cheng Royal Mansion from the fire, and the number of shadow guards is not bad. How can the small county owner escape?"
