The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

【Meng Ying extra】

My family was in a state of decline, and my grandfather's sister took me to the general's residence since I was a child.

It is said that living under someone else's roof is a sad life, but I have never experienced what it feels like to live under someone else's roof.

It's not because I'm young and don't understand what it means to be under someone else's roof, but the people in the General's Mansion are very nice to me, very nice.

Since I came to the General's Mansion, my grandmother has raised me as her own granddaughter.

There are only two young ladies, Xiao Shu and me, in the General's Mansion. I am loved as much or even more than Xiao Shu.

In the General's Mansion, both the master and the servants regard me as a member of the General's Mansion.

My grandmother was afraid that I would be bullied, so she often looked at me with loving eyes. She would give me some small gifts every now and then, and she would go to my yard to see me from time to time.

The second aunt only has two sons, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi, but no daughter, so she treats me as her own daughter. She buys me new clothes and jewelry for me. My clothes and tidying are better than Xiaoshu, a serious general. The eldest lady of the mansion has more.

Third Aunt, Xiao Shu's mother, would also touch my head and say, our Yingying is so beautiful, she is the most knowledgeable and gentle among all the ladies I have ever met.

There is also Xiao Shu’s sister-in-law, I also call her sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law is very gentle and treats me like a sister-in-law.

The servants saw that the masters of the General's Mansion treated me like their own child. No one dared to insult me ​​because I was an orphan, and they all treated me with respect.

I thought Xiao Shu would be unhappy if I received too much pampering, but no, it never has.

She regards me as a biological sister and a good friend. The relationship between the two of us is even better than that of biological sisters.

Xiaoshu is very smart and has a calmness that is beyond that of a woman.

Although I am one year older than her, Xiaoshu feels like a big sister to me, taking good care of me.

In this way, the two of us grew up together and have a deep relationship.

When I was a child, the General's Mansion held a banquet and invited many prominent people in Yong'an City. This was something I had never thought of and it was also the most touching thing for me.

After I got my haircut, my third aunt relied on her own connections to find a good match for me. He was the legitimate son of the Minister of Punishment. He was a steady man and a person worthy of trust.

I was very satisfied with this engagement, and during our subsequent interactions, I fell in love with this young man named Zhou Ziyan.

I thought that my future life would be to get married and have children, and live in peace for the rest of my life.

But what happened next made me miserable.

At the same time, it was not only my destiny that changed, but also the destiny of the Gu family and Helianguo.

Because of the mistakes I made, the Gu family was ruined, the nine tribes were destroyed, and the Helian Kingdom finally fell into ruin.

......

In winter, the weather is cold.

As usual, the palace holds a winter banquet every year, and this year is no exception.

All civil and military officials accompanied Helian Ao in the Jinluan Palace, while the family members of the officials were entertained by the empress and noble concubines.

There is nothing special about the process of the banquet. It is nothing more than appreciating Google, chatting, eating and drinking.

Because of its distinguished status, the General's Mansion sits closest to the Queen and Concubines.

I looked at the incredibly beautiful woman sitting at the top.

Her face is like a blooming peony, graceful and majestic.

The other party was Concubine Wen who was sent by Nalan Kingdom to Helian Kingdom for marriage. After arriving in Helian Kingdom, she was favored by the old emperor Helian Ao. For her, he built a palace lavishly and did whatever she said.

A few days ago, I was molested by a playboy on Taiping Street. My fiancé Zhou Ziyan kicked the playboy in a rage, and unexpectedly kicked the playboy to death.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he was just a dandy, but he didn't expect to be told later that this dandy was the younger brother of Concubine Wen.

It was originally a small matter, but with her and Zhou Ziyan's status, no one cared too much about it.

But just because the person who was kicked to death was the younger brother of the emperor's most favored concubine, this matter was no longer a trivial matter.

Zhou Ziyan was thrown into death row and was about to be beheaded.

Zhou Ziyan ended up like this all because of me, how could I just sit back and ignore it, and my only chance was this banquet.

I looked at Concubine Wen from time to time, hoping to find an opportunity to negotiate terms with her.

During the entire banquet, Concubine Wen didn't even look at me, as if she didn't know me at all, but I knew that she must know who I was.

I waited for the opportunity. In the middle of the banquet, Concubine Wen excused herself and wanted to leave first because she had something to do.

When I saw her walking out of the banquet hall, I quickly found an excuse to leave.

Concubine Wen walked forward with the support of the palace maid, and I quickly caught up with her.

"My dearest concubine, please stay."

Concubine Wen heard my voice, and she stopped as expected. She turned around with a faint smile on her face. She was beautiful and generous, and she seemed to be easy to get along with.

"Aren't you Miss Meng from the General's Mansion? Are you looking for something from me?"

I knew she was asking questions knowingly, but I still saluted her respectfully.

"I do have something wrong with you. Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, is in great numbers. Can you please spare the son of Shilang Zhou's family? Everything was caused by the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine wants to blame me, then punish the Imperial Concubine."

What I said is sincere. As long as Concubine Wen can spare her, I will do anything.

I was ready to be rejected, and I was also ready to stalk me, but I didn't expect that Concubine Wen didn't reject me immediately. The smile on her lips widened, with some deep meaning. I couldn't see it. Understand what that malicious smile means.

She stroked her bun and said slowly, "Is Miss Meng really willing to do anything for Young Master Zhou?"

I nodded: "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

"Really?" Concubine Wen chuckled.

"Really." I answered seriously.

I didn't know what my answer meant at the time, but I soon knew that everything I did next would push the family I cared about into a desperate situation.

"It seems that Miss Meng has a deep affection for Mr. Zhou. I am moved by your loyal feelings. In this case, I will give Miss Meng a good opportunity. It is not convenient to speak here. Miss Meng comes with me." .”

When I saw her agreeing, I felt happy and followed closely behind Concubine Wen without any hesitation. I just hoped that she would quickly agree and let her go.

I followed Concubine Wen all the way to Fengluan Palace.

This is a palace that the old emperor specially spent a lot of money to build for Concubine Wen. It is magnificent and beautiful inside.

I had no intention of watching, and I fully hoped that Concubine Wen would agree to my request soon.

However, I also know that there are many rules in the palace, so since I entered Fengluan Palace, I immediately lowered my eyes and stood in front of Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen sat on the concubine's couch, and the palace maid brought her a heater to warm her hands.

She looked around me with her eyes and said with a smile: "As expected of being raised by the General's Mansion, he has an extraordinary temperament."

I don't want to hear these useless nonsense from her, I just want the topic to quickly shift to the issue of Xi Zhi.

Perhaps because I was silent, Concubine Wen thought it was boring to talk about anything else, so she took the initiative to mention Xi Zhi.

"The disciple of Zhou Shilang kicked my younger brother to death. I didn't hold Zhou Shilang's godson responsible for his wrongdoings. I was merciful. As the saying goes, murdering people pays debts and money. My younger brother is dead. I only want Zhou Zi." Isn't it natural to pay for one's life with one's own life? Miss Meng, what do you think?"

I think that playboy deserved to die. Who allowed him to molest her in broad daylight and tease her with the intention of robbing a common girl?

Such scum will not do any good to the country even if they are alive, and they will die clean.

But I can't say this kind of thing to Concubine Wen face to face, I can only express it with emotion and reason.

"The Imperial Concubine clearly sees that Young Master Zhou did not intend to kick the younger brother to death. He was really forced to do so. If Young Master Zhou does not do this, I am afraid that my daughter's innocence will be destroyed in his hands."

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Zhou is at fault in this matter, he is also excusable. I hope your Majesty can spare her life. If your Majesty insists on punishing me, let me punish you."

After I finished speaking, I waited for Concubine Wen's answer, and what I received was indeed Concubine Wen's mocking laughter.

"Miss Meng, don't you think what you said is ridiculous? Zhou Ziyan kicked my brother to death with one kick. It can be seen that he showed no mercy at all with this kick. He was rushing to kill my brother. He was so cruel and ruthless , I really can’t see that he did it out of necessity.”

"Furthermore, Zhou Ziyan killed someone for your innocence. Is your innocence more important than a human life?"

"You just lost your innocence, but my brother lost his life. You and Zhou Ziyan are still alive and well, but my brother will never come back. How can you ask me to show mercy?"

Listening to her words, I just felt harsh.

But in order to rest, I have to be patient.

"If the imperial concubine wants to vent her anger, I am willing to take the punishment on Mr. Zhou's behalf."

"Haha." Concubine Wen sneered: "If there is someone to blame, how can I let you take my place?"

I gritted my teeth and came to Naofengluan Palace. Concubine Wen gave her hope. Why was she unwilling to give up now?

I was a little at a loss, and my voice became quite stiff: "Then how can the imperial concubine let go?"

"It's not impossible to let him go." Concubine Wen changed the topic and gave me hope again.

I raised my head and met her eyes.

Just listen to Concubine Wen continue to say: "As long as Miss Meng makes a small sacrifice, I guarantee that Zhou Ziyan will be released from the death row intact."

I said impatiently, "What kind of sacrifices are you asking me to make?"

Concubine Wen smiled softly: "He Lianjin will have a small accident in a while. You only need to identify it as Gu Wangshu, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, and your mission will be over."

When I heard this condition, I had a look of disbelief in my eyes.

Is Concubine Wen going to deal with His Highness He Lianjin?

why?

He Lianjin is just a child, why doesn't Concubine Wen let him go?

After much thought, she couldn't figure out why Concubine Wen made such a request.

Xiao Shu has always been a wealthy young lady who stays close to home. She has never offended Concubine Wen. Why did Concubine Wen frame her?

It is impossible for me to make such a request.

The look I looked at Concubine Wen was no longer respectful, but angry.

"Xiao Shu and I are like sisters, and I will never limit her."

After I said this, I turned around to leave, but I was stopped by Concubine Wen.

"Have you considered it? Are you really unwilling?"

I didn't look back and said coldly: "If you don't want to, I will find other ways to save him."

"Haha." Concubine Wen suddenly sneered: "Other ways? What other ways can you come up with? Go and ask the queen? The queen today is just a decoration in name only. Go and ask your majesty? Your majesty will obey my words. As long as I don't let go, Your Majesty will definitely not agree to let Zhou Ziyan go."

After listening to Concubine Wen's words, I clenched my fists.

She said it was true, the old emperor was fatuous and lustful, and in his heart there was only Concubine Wen.

I turned around sharply: "What do you want?"

"I just said that as long as you identify Gu Wangshu and pushed He Lianjin into the water, I will let your lover go."

No, absolutely not, I know this is wrong and will harm Xiao Shu.

Xiao Shu regarded her as the best sister, and the General Mansion had nurtured her. She must not harm Xiao Shu just because Zhou Ziyan was alone.

I thought about it and decided to give up.

It was painful, but there was nothing I could do about it.

"I am sorry that I cannot agree to the request of the noble concubine. I will resign."

I walked out resolutely, but before I had taken a few steps, Concubine Wen's sinister voice came from behind.

"You can leave here. As long as you immediately, I will inform His Majesty the Emperor that the general's residence has surrendered to the enemy and is treason."

The four words "surrender to the enemy and treason" locked me in place like a binding spell.

I can't imagine how miserable the fate would be if the General's Mansion was accused of surrendering to the enemy and treason.

My maternal grandmother was a first-grade official, my maternal grandfather was a general with military power, my second uncle was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and my brother-in-law also led troops to guard Qingyunguan.

The men of the Gu family all held military power and were already feared by the old emperor. If Concubine Wen said that the General's Mansion had evil intentions, given her favored status and the old emperor's incompetent and suspicious character, she would definitely believe it.

The cost of throwing dirty water on someone is very low, and it is very troublesome to find evidence to prove one's innocence. This will bring huge trouble to the general's palace. The fatuous old emperor is very likely to find evidence without evidence. Dispose of the general's mansion.

My heart began to beat wildly, and my anger rushed to the top of my head:

"The imperial concubine's actions are too vicious."

Facing my anger, Concubine Wen actually smiled brighter and brighter, not caring about my rude words.

"There are only two ways before you. You can either listen to me and frame Gu Wangshu, or you can disobey me and watch the entire Gu family be executed for collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"you......"

No matter which one it is, I don't want to choose. I would rather the condition put forward by Concubine Wen is to let me die than frame Xiao Shu or watch the general's mansion be destroyed.

But Concubine Wen doesn't give me any other conditions, what should I do?

I was caught in a dilemma. At this moment, I even regretted going to Concubine Wen to intercede about Xi Zhi.

Compared with Xiaoshu and Gu Jia, Xi Zhi's status in my heart is ranked lower.

"There is not much time left for Miss Meng, you must make a decision quickly."

Concubine Wen's eyes flashed with a cunning light. She made me feel very hateful and terrifying.

After about half a cup of tea, Concubine Wen saw that I had not yet made a decision. She snorted coldly, stood up from the concubine's couch, and walked straight out the door.

"What are you going to do?" I yelled in horror.

"Since it is so difficult for Miss Meng to make a decision, I have no choice but to go to His Majesty and inform Your Majesty of General Gu's mansion's collusion with the enemy and treason."

"You...you vicious woman."

"Haha, I am a poisonous woman to begin with."

After she finished speaking, she ignored me and continued to move forward.

I chased after her and wanted to stop her, but I was caught by the rough messenger, making me unable to move.

I watched helplessly as Concubine Wen walked out of Fengluan Palace and was about to walk in the direction of Jinluan Palace.

No, she must not be allowed to frame the General's Mansion.

I struggled desperately, but I couldn't break free at all. My eyes were so anxious that my eyes were red. Faced with such a dilemma, I was forced to have no choice but to choose to save the General's Mansion first.

I chose to wait for Xiaoshu alone, and the hundreds of people in the general's mansion.

"Your Majesty, I agree to your request." I cried out these words.

My whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. At this moment, I hated myself.

I don't have much ability, so I can't save Xi Zhi, but now I want to frame Xiao Shu.

I don't have to die well, I deserve to die, I will never be able to repay the harm I did to Xiao Shu in my lifetime.

But, I have no choice.

Concubine Wen stopped and looked at me with a bright and kind smile.

"That's right."

She cast an approving look at me, and I wanted to rush forward and kill her to relieve my hatred.

I was almost dragged forward by my grandmother. Instead of going back to the banquet hall, I went straight to the Royal Garden.

I don’t know what method Concubine Wen used to attract Xiao Shu to the Imperial Garden.

When we arrived, His Highness had been rescued, and Xiao Shu was pressed to her knees by the palace maid and eunuch. She struggled desperately, and no one would believe her explanation.

After we arrived, the Queen's Empress, the Gu family's female family members and others also came to the Royal Garden soon.

I saw my grandmother and others looking puzzled, and I saw the Queen, so distressed that Her Highness was drowned, that she passed out and was carried away by the palace maids.

I saw the proud look on Concubine Wen's face.

And everyone's eyes were turned to me.

Concubine Wen pretended to be distressed and asked: "What happened? How did His Highness fall into the water? Who killed His Highness?"

This seems to be said to everyone, but in fact I know that Concubine Wen is asking me. She hopes that I will identify Xiao Shu now.

I stood in front of Xiao Shu and hesitated.

No, I don’t want to frame Xiao Shu.

His Highness is dead. Once I identify Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu will die.

However, if Xiao Shu is not identified, the entire General Gu mansion will be destroyed by Concubine Wen.

Just when I was hesitating, the person next to Concubine Wen pushed me hard and pushed me out of the crowd.

Everyone looked at me at the same time.

Before I could say anything, the palace maids and eunuchs who pinned Xiao Shu to the ground answered Concubine Wen's questions in unison.

"Returning to the concubine, your highness was pushed into the lotus pond and drowned alive by Gu Wangshu, the legitimate daughter of General Gu's mansion."

"Yes, this is what we saw with our own eyes. When we wanted to save His Highness, Gu Wangshu kept blocking us, which delayed the rescue of His Highness. After we finally fished His Highness out of the water, When he arrived, His Highness was no longer breathing."

"Impossible." Grandma retorted immediately, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs with eyes as cold as knives.

"My granddaughter has no reason to push His Highness into the lotus pond? You have no evidence, so don't slander anyone."

The second aunt, the third aunt, and the pregnant sister-in-law also stood up to defend Xiao Shu.

I saw it in my eyes and felt pain in my heart. I really wanted to help my grandmother and others deny it right away.

But at this moment, Concubine Wen walked up to me and whispered in my ear in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "You can only choose one of the lives of Gu Wangshu and the more than 100 members of the Gu family. "

"By the way, if you choose to save Gu Wangshu, then when I report to His Majesty that the general's palace is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the Gu family is executed, Gu Wangshu will also die."

When I heard this, my body was shaking, my fists were clenched, and my nails were digging into my flesh.

Concubine Wen's cruel heart drove her to a dead end.

Suddenly, one of the palace maids who was pressing Gu Wangshu pointed at me and said: "

"You want evidence, right? Of course we have witnesses. You don't have to believe our words. Then you should believe Ms. Meng's words, right?"

"When Gu Wangshu threw His Highness into the lotus pond, Miss Meng was also present. She saw it clearly."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on me again.

I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, and my whole heart was colder than ice.

My grandmother looked at me with disbelief. She believed that Xiao Shu would not kill His Highness for no reason, and she did not believe that I would become a witness to Xiao Shu's murder.

The rest of the Gu family also had the same look in their eyes.

There was hope and prayer in their expressions, hoping that I would not say anything detrimental to Xiao Shu.

Of course I don't want to frame Xiao Shu, but I have no choice. If we don't do what Concubine Wen said, everyone will die.

I gradually raised my hand and pointed my finger at Xiaoshu.

At this moment, the air was deathly silent, and Xiao Shu's eyes flashed with confusion, when he heard me say:

"I saw Xiao Shu throwing His Highness into the lotus pond."

A look of disbelief flashed across Xiao Shu's face. She didn't understand why I wanted to frame her.

"Say it again?" Xiao Shu's tone was colder than ever before.

I didn't dare to look at her, so I quickly looked away, my body shivering, and my heart hurt as if it was about to be torn apart.

I kept saying sorry to Xiaoshu in my heart, and I swore silently that if Xiaoshu died because of me today, I would pay for her with my life.

"I asked you to say it again, why didn't you say it again?"

Xiao Shu's mood became extremely excited, and he looked fiercer than I have ever seen before.

"Meng Ying, my Gu family treats you well, why do you want to frame me?"

Grandma and others also didn’t believe what I said. Their eyes looked at me with incomprehensible and angry eyes.

I understand how they feel at this moment.

A child who is raised as his own daughter bites him when he grows up. Isn't this the story of the farmer and the snake?How chilling.

Grandma rushed to me, grabbed my collar and shook me hard.

"Yingying, are you talking nonsense? How could Xiao Shu harm His Highness? You must have seen it wrong, right?"

I remained silent and lowered my head in defiance.

"Tell me, you must have seen it."

I squirmed my lips, but didn't dare to say anything.

Next I heard the voices of my grandmother and others pleading for Gu Wangshu, hoping to investigate the matter thoroughly and hope that Concubine Wen would be lenient with Xiao Shuwang.

Concubine Wen's goal is to have unlimited comfort, so how can she be lenient?

Her cold voice sounded: "Gu Wangshu, the remnant royal heir, deserves to be punished for his crime. He will be beaten to death with sticks on the spot."

After giving an order, Xiao Shu was pressed hard to the ground. Two eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right, hit Xiao Shu's waist, hips and thighs with sticks.

Xiao Shu kept shouting that he was wronged, but Concubine Wen was unmoved.

Because I begged for mercy, what I got in exchange was Concubine Wen's expression as cold as a snake and a scorpion.

Xiao Shu's personal maid Qiuchi wanted to save her, but was kicked into the lotus pond. She fluttered in the cold pond,

The third aunt couldn't see Xiao Shu suffering, so she ran over and lay on Xiao Shu, thinking that this would stop the stick from falling, but she never expected how cruel Concubine Wen was.

The stick fell hard on the third aunt. I looked at this scene and my heart hurt beyond measure. I went to beg Concubine Wen, but Concubine Wen slapped me in the face and asked me to drag me aside.

I couldn't struggle, so I could only watch helplessly as Third Aunt and Xiao Shu were beaten until they were covered in blood, and finally beaten to death next to the lotus pond.

The blood flowed into the lotus pond, dyeing the water red.

My grandmother burst into tears when she saw such a tragic situation, and then turned her head to look at me, full of hatred.

"The thing I regret most in my life is bringing you, a wolf-hearted person, to the General's Mansion."

The old voice was extremely penetrating and resounded throughout the Imperial Garden.

When I looked into my grandmother's eyes, which wanted to cut me into pieces, I felt so painful that my tears kept falling.

"Grandma..."

I wanted to explain, but my grandmother didn't give me a chance to explain.

Her body froze, her eyes rolled up, and she was so angry that she died.

"Grandma—"

I screamed and tried to pounce, but someone kept holding me, a palace maid and a eunuch, and I couldn't move.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the sister-in-law was so frightened that blood flowed from her skirt, and her body fell limply.

"Sister-in-law—" I screamed and saw my sister-in-law struggling painfully on the ground.

My heart was filled with fear, and I went to beg Concubine Wen: "Concubine Wen, please be kind and save my sister-in-law. I beg you."

When Concubine Wen looked at me, she said with a smile: "When Gu Wangshu killed His Highness, the Gu family were accomplices and traitors. As a concubine, I must not bend the law for personal gain."

"You...you said that as long as I identified Xiaoshu, you would let the Gu family go."

"When did I say that?"

"You lied to me? You actually lied to me?"

I struggled hard and wanted to die with Concubine Wen, but there was nothing I could do.

I can only watch helplessly as my sister-in-law has no way to ask for help, killing one person and two others.

Everyone else who came to the lotus pond in the Royal Garden, as long as they were related to the Gu family, including the Yun family and the Lu family, were all executed on the spot by Concubine Wen for committing rebellion.

The lotus pond was like purgatory. The blood of the ladies who were beaten to death dyed the entire pond red.

I went crazy and finally managed to get out of comfort.

"Concubine Wen, you must die well——"

I roared angrily and rushed towards Concubine Wen, but before I could reach Concubine Wen, I was knocked to the ground, and his fists and soles fell on me mercilessly.

My body hurts, but it's not one thousandth as painful as my heartache.

The Gu family is gone, and so are the relatives who raised me from childhood to adulthood.

I am guilty, I am the sinner who killed Xiao Shu and the entire Gu family.

I don't deserve to live. A useless person like me only deserves to go to hell.

If I could do it all over again, I would never be deceived by Concubine Wen again.

I couldn't withstand the heavy blow, and my head fell on a bluestone pillar.

There was a loud "bang" and I felt the sound of my skull breaking.

The pain quickly spread throughout my body. I was not afraid. Useless people like me would have died a hundred times.

Life is gradually passing by, my body is slowly getting cold, and I feel like I am floating.

I was floating in the air, watching Concubine Wen laughing proudly.

At this moment, I wish I was an evil ghost so that I could kill Concubine Wen.

My soul was sucked in by a white light. I thought I had escaped into reincarnation and would be a pig in my next life, but I didn't deserve to be a human.

But when I opened my eyes, I found myself sitting in the banquet room.

Sitting next to me were Xiao Shu, my grandmother, and others. They were all still alive and well.

The people at the head were the Queen and Concubine Wen, and everything was back to before the tragedy happened.

I thought I was dreaming, but do ghosts dream?

Or was everything before just my imagination?Nothing actually happened?

I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Just when I was confused, Concubine Wen left the table.

When I saw this scene, my brain buzzed and went blank.

This scene is very familiar to me, it is exactly the same as I have experienced before.

Concubine Wen expected that I would beg her for Zhou Ziyan's matter, so she left the banquet hall on purpose, just to let me leave with her, and then persuaded me to frame Xiao Shu.

My heartbeat was pounding. It turned out that what happened before was not a dream or my hallucination. It all happened.

I looked at Xiao Shu who was intact, at my grandmother who was still kind to me, and at everyone in the Gu family.

Sadness mixed with a lot of joy.

Everything happened in a hurry and everyone is still alive. This time, I will never be as stupid as in the previous life. I will change everyone's destiny and never let Concubine Wen's tricks succeed.

I sat motionless where I was.

As long as she doesn't go to Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen can't use her to frame Xiao Shu.

My mind then calmed down, and I ate pastries and drank tea mechanically, while my eyes kept observing the situation in the banquet room.

I looked left and right, but I didn't see His Highness He Lianjin.

I tried to recall, and then I remembered that His Highness began to feel sleepy not long after the banquet started, and was then taken away by the maid next to the Queen.

My heart lifted again.

I knew that His Highness would be in trouble soon, and I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't leave the banquet hall. Once I went out, I would definitely meet Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen would definitely force me to make a choice.

This time, I will not listen to Concubine Wen again. I will never leave Xiao Shu's side and guard her at all times.

I thought this would be foolproof, but I didn't expect that after a cup of tea, a palace maid came up to me and whispered in my ear: "Miss Meng, the imperial concubine invites you."

Concubine Wen is so evil that she would send someone to call her.

I glanced at the palace maid, her eyes were very cold, but her attitude was quite modest.

"You go back and report to Concubine Wen first, and I will be there soon."

The palace maid took the order and left, but I had no intention of going. I still sat in the banquet hall and watched the song and dance performance.

Xiao Shu leaned close to my ear: "What did that palace maid want from you just now?"

I didn't hide anything: "Concubine Wen sent someone to call me. I have no good intentions, so don't pay too much attention to her."

Xiao Shu frowned and rolled his eyes: "Concubine Wen is very thoughtful and there must be some purpose in handing you over. We must not be fooled by her."

I smiled and nodded, talking and laughing with Xiao Shu.

After about another cup of tea, the palace maid came back again. She may have been impatient and her expression was not good.

When he came to me, he said in a commanding tone: "Why don't you go?"

I glanced at her casually: "Where do you want me to go?"

I didn't lower my voice, and almost everyone present heard it.

Everyone looked over with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The palace maid's expression became even worse: "The imperial concubine has invited me. If you don't go, you will be disobeying me."

It is better to disobey orders than to ruin the Gu family.

When she died in her previous life, she was thinking that she was willing to die as long as the Gu family could be healthy.

In this life, she would rather die than watch Xiao Shu, her grandmother and others die tragically.

I remained silent, and no matter what the maid said, I would not go out.

Xiao Shu, grandma and others all looked puzzled. I knew they must be wondering why my character suddenly became so stubborn, but I didn't care what others thought, I only cared about my family.

Seeing that she couldn't call me, the palace maid left angrily.

Grandma asked with concern: "Yingying, are you okay?"

I requested and reassured: "It's okay. Today is the first time that Concubine Wen and I met. It must be up to her to suddenly call me. Concubine Wen is very scheming and must be planning something. I don't want to be fooled by her." .”

Everyone felt it made sense, so they didn't say anything else. Everything was left to her.

I have always known that I am not smart, so I can only avoid it. As long as I am always by Xiao Shu's side and don't come into contact with Concubine Wen, she can't take advantage of me.

Until the banquet was over, Concubine Wen never looked for me again.

My anxious heart finally relaxed a little, and I followed my grandmother out of the banquet hall and walked toward the palace gate.

As long as I leave the palace, Gu's family will be safe today. Victory is in sight, but I am getting more and more nervous.

Just when we were about to leave the harem, someone suddenly came out and blocked our way.

I took a closer look and felt a tremor all over my body.

The leader was actually the old emperor, and the woman in his arms was Concubine Wen. Behind the old emperor were all the civil and military officials.

Concubine Wen cried so hard that her whole little face turned red from crying and she kept sobbing. She was so sad.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, wondering what tricks Concubine Wen was going to play.

Not only was I puzzled, but everyone in the Gu family was puzzled.

Before we could salute the old emperor, the old emperor asked sullenly: "Who is Meng Ying?"

Find me?

I stood in front of people nervously.

"My maiden Meng Ying, please see your majesty..."

Before I could finish what I said, the old emperor shouted angrily, raised his foot and kicked me out mercilessly.

This kick was extremely powerful, and it hit me right in the heart.

At that moment, I felt like my heart had stopped beating and my breathing had stopped.

I fell heavily to the ground and lay there, unable to get up.

There was a lot of noise in my ears, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

But I couldn't hear or see clearly. This kick almost killed me. Although I was still alive, I could only lie on the ground.

The old emperor walked up to me, condescending as if he were looking at a dead dog.

"In order to save Zhou Ziyan, you dared to kill my son, so as to blame my beloved concubine, and make my queen hate my beloved concubine to the bone and cause trouble for her."

When I heard these words, I felt like the sky was falling.

His Highness He Lianjin was still killed by Concubine Wen.

She couldn't find me, so she went to find the old emperor. I don't know what she said to this foolish emperor, so that he believed that I had killed His Highness and framed Concubine Wen as the blame.

If the Queen knew that Concubine Wen was responsible for the murder of Her Highness, she would definitely fight to the death with Concubine Wen. As long as Concubine Wen is dead, no one will hold Zhou Ziyan accountable for his fault.

This was the lie concocted by Concubine Wen. The lie was ridiculous, but the old emperor believed it.

I wanted to explain, but Hunjun's kick left me speechless but unable to speak.

Every breath I took hurt, and my heart was throbbing, as if it would stop beating at any time.

Everyone in the Gu family was pleading for me, saying there must be some misunderstanding.

But the old emperor didn't care whether an ordinary woman was wronged. He was determined not to let his imperial concubine suffer the slightest injustice.

"Come here, put this bitch on death row and interrogate her severely. Be sure to ask her for a confession about how she harmed Jin'er."

At the emperor's order, I was roughly dragged away and finally thrown into the dirty death row.

My days became dark, and I was tortured every day. From head to toe, there was no intact skin.

They forced me to tell them that the Gu family had instigated the drowning of His Highness. I kept my mouth tightly shut and remained silent, determined not to say anything.

With the experience of my previous life, I know that once I say it, the Gu family will be ruined again.

I thought that as long as I didn't say anything, the Gu family would be safe.

But Concubine Wen's determination to destroy the Gu family is as strong as a rock. She keeps whispering in the old emperor's ears that as long as the people from the General's Palace come to see me on death row, as long as the people from the General's Palace intercede on my behalf, all of this will become There is evidence of rebellion in the General's Mansion.

It was so far-fetched, but the old emperor didn't care about it. He obeyed Concubine Wen's words as if he had drunk some ecstasy soup.

In the end, I failed to endure the torture in prison and died miserably under the torture device.

After my death, my soul becomes three-dimensional.

My death made my grandmother so sad that she spurted out a mouthful of blood and was furious to death.

The second uncle had to report my affairs to the court every day, which angered the emperor and ordered his second uncle to be thrown out of the Jinluan Palace. The second uncle, who was already in poor health, froze to death in the ice and snow.

After learning about the tragic death of her second uncle, the second aunt broke into the palace and wanted to seek justice. She was beaten to death in front of the palace gate on the pretext of trespassing and intending to rebel.

Because the second aunt was from the General's Mansion, if she wanted to rebel, it would be equivalent to the entire Gu family wanting to rebel. Therefore, everyone in the Gu family was arrested and dragged to the Meridian Gate to beheaded in public.

I watched helplessly, unable to shut it down at all, and my hatred soared into the sky.

Then, I was sucked away by the white light again, and I woke up again, still in the banquet hall.
