Blessed Daughter

Unlike Prince Rui's Mansion who was calm about the incident that just happened, everyone in the capital was frightened by this turmoil.

Qi Concubine died, even faster than Qi Yansong.

Qi Yansong was imprisoned in the sky prison and was executed after a trial.

And Qi Bin killed herself with three feet of white silk early the next morning.

With her death, Concubine Hui had no chance to defend herself.

No matter how much she insisted that she had not harmed Queen Xu, the emperor did not choose to believe her, demoted her status and banned her.

Some people even speculated that the reason why the emperor did not directly throw Concubine Hui into the cold palace was probably because of Chu Lan's face.

The emperor had just dealt with people related to the Qi family last year, and the turmoil in the court had just stabilized. It was difficult to move King Jing at this time.

Although he is the emperor, he is often constrained and cannot do things as he pleases. It was not easy to deal with the Qi family last year.

So this time, he only dealt with Concubine Qi and showed mercy to Concubine Hui.

This incident made the already clear situation in the DPRK once again become turbulent.

Everyone in the capital couldn't help but think again.

Originally, everyone thought that with the downfall of the Qi family, the position of crown prince would undoubtedly belong to King Jing, but now it seems that the matter has not been settled yet.

Concubine Qi and Concubine Hui both harmed Queen Xu, so as far as the emperor was concerned, King Jing and King Yu were almost the same, and no one was more popular with him than the other.

Although the King of Qin has a tendency to be reused by the emperor, the qualifications of the King of Qin are so poor that it is difficult to surpass King Yu and King Jing.

Heavenly prison.

It was dark everywhere, it was winter, and it was so cold here that my body was shaking.

Zuo Lingyue huddled in the corner.

Footsteps approached, and a tall figure appeared outside the cell.

Through the cold iron cell door, Zuo Lingyue saw the person coming clearly. She was originally weak and she didn't know where she got the strength to rush to the door.

Looking at the man in front of her who she longed for, Zuo Lingyue's trembling lips seemed to have a thousand words, but they were all stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.

Chu Lan looked at Zuo Lingyue with cold eyes. Instead of his usual quiet and dignified appearance, he only looked embarrassed and pale.

Chu Lan asked: "Why are you doing this? Princess Rui has no enmity or enmity with you. Even your interactions are very few. You should have only met a few times."

"That's right, she and I have probably only met from a distance twice, and we only really talked during the Lantern Festival Banquet." Zuo Lingyue admitted.

"Then what's the reason? That makes you have such vicious thoughts towards her?"

"You asked me why? You actually asked me why? Don't you know why, Your Majesty? Ask yourself, where were you on the wedding night?" Zuo Lingyue laughed angrily, looking at Chu Lan with tears in her eyes Guang, the smile on the corner of his mouth is uglier than crying.

Chu Lan frowned: "You know?"

"If I had a choice, I would rather not know! But I still know! My husband left me on our wedding night to meet his sister-in-law! What a joke is this?"

Zuo Lingyue said with ridicule.

She was mocking Chu Lan and herself.

Chu Lan's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Zuo Lingyue continued: "If it's just a one-night stand on the wedding night, I'm still a virgin to this day! Who dares to believe that I'm still a virgin to this day after I got married! My husband has never stayed in my room for a single night. !”

"It's not that you are ill, but because you have another woman in your heart. You are willing to keep yourself safe for a woman you can't get! I would rather you have a health problem and you are inhumane, and I don't want you to put you to death. Give all your love to others!”

Zuo Lingyue's eyes were full of resentment and anger.

Because she loves Chu Lan.

She had fallen in love with him very early on.

Before she was given the marriage as Princess Jing, her heart and eyes were full of him.

She was so happy to be his wife.

She was so looking forward to their wedding.

However, just because the expectations are high, the pain in the end will be deeper.

Zuo Lingyue asked Chu Lan: "My lord, don't you think you are ridiculous? You stay in the study every night and miss your sister-in-law. Do you think you are protecting your body for her?"

Chu Lan did not answer Zuo Lingyue's question directly, but said: "You shouldn't do such a thing. Your resentment comes from me. The person you should hate is me, not her."

"But the person I love is you! What I want is your love, not your life!"

love him.

Is the root of everything.

If she can't cut off this source, she can only cut off his thoughts!

Facing Zuo Lingyue's sudden confession, Chu Lan frowned and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't be like this."

"Is there anything that should be done and what shouldn't be done? I am just an insignificant person to you, so why not you, Princess Yu Rui? You don't think you are so important to her, do you? She would rather choose someone who is dying than choose you!" Zuo Lingyue shouted towards Chu Lan.

Chu Lan did not refute. Maybe he knew in his heart that Zuo Lingyue was telling the truth. He was an insignificant person to Wei Qingruo. She had saved him, but she had also saved countless ordinary people. Her caring Not only for her, but also for any refugee on the roadside.

Chu Lan did not stay any longer, he turned and left.

"Chu Lan, you won't get what you want! You won't get what I can't get! You will end up in a bad way like me!" Zuo Lingyue shouted heartbreakingly at Chu Lan's back.

Chu Lan's footsteps stopped.

Zuo Lingyue thought he was going to say something to her, but no, his footsteps started to move again, and then gradually moved away, and finally completely disappeared from her sight.

Zuo Lingyue looked at the empty and dark cell and slumped on the ground helplessly.

Inside Prince Yu's Mansion.

Wei Qingwan was happy to receive the news from the palace.

It was Concubine Qi who died, but what she got in exchange was King Yu's glimmer of hope.

Moreover, after the death of Qi Concubine, King Yu obviously could not show his filial piety, but in order to prevent others from thinking that he was ruthless and unjust, he had to keep his integrity secretly, so he would not favor anyone again for at least the next six months.

It happened that she was pregnant now and could not serve the prince well.

And it also means that no one else in the palace will be pregnant in a short time.

However, Wei Qingwan only dared to hide this happiness in her heart and did not dare to show it at all.

She used to have two confidants, but now the only person she can trust is herself.

Now she only needs to protect herself and give birth to the child in her belly with peace of mind.

After Wei Qingwan carefully ate the bird's nests brought by the maid, she was about to go back to the bed and lie down for a while.

The maid outside the door came to report: "Your Majesty, Aunt Cuihe is here."
