The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

The housekeeper stood in the corridor and looked at the rain curtain, saying meaningfully: "It is poetic and picturesque to keep guests on a rainy day."

Ling Ze looked at the two people in the pavilion from afar, hoping that Miss Shangguan would not let the prince down.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was indeed difficult to walk. The maid brought an umbrella, and Shangguan Haitong and the others returned to the main hall.

It was already autumn, and the rain had driven away all the heat. There was a chill in the air, and Shangguan Haitong felt a little cold.

Seeing that her skirt was wet, Xie Qiuguang arranged: "The rain will not stop for a while, you should go to the guest room to rest first. Summer is over, and the weather is getting colder. You should change your clothes to avoid catching a cold. Go quickly, it will be uncomfortable if you get sick."

"Okay. Thank you." Shangguan Haitong and Huanshuang went to the guest room.

The maid brought clean clothes and they changed into them.

Huan Shuang combed her master's hair again: "The clothes the prince sent do fit me well. I wonder how long he spent preparing them."

Shangguan Haitong just smiled and said nothing.

She was dressed in a light yellow dress, which was warm and beautiful. The prince even ordered people to prepare matching jewelry.

I think since the agreement was made, we have been carefully preparing every aspect.

After combing her hair, Shangguan Haitong stood by the window and stared out.

The rain was getting lighter and would stop soon. When it stopped, she was about to say goodbye to the prince.

Unexpectedly, a little maid came to report: "Miss, the prince suddenly came. The prince asked you to hide and come out after the prince leaves."

Huan Shuang was puzzled: "Prince? What is he doing here? Didn't the emperor ask him to check the arrows?"

Shangguan Haitong looked outside: "There is no clue. The prince will naturally visit every suspicious house. He will definitely find an excuse to investigate everywhere. We can't stay. Where is the back door? We leave through the back door. Please inform the prince."

The little maid bowed and led the way.

When passing by a guest room, Shangguan Haitong noticed through the open window that there was a woman lying inside.

The housekeeper came hurriedly and stopped when he saw them.

The prince exchanged a few pleasantries and then walked around on the pretext of touring the palace.

Shi Wangxi and others have already hidden themselves, and the housekeeper has come specially to protect that important woman.

No matter how Xie Qiuguang tried to dissuade him, the prince rushed forward, clearly wanting to see what was going on today.

Footsteps are approaching.

Shangguan Haitong immediately opened the door: "Go in first, I have my own way."

The housekeeper came in immediately. Shangguan Haitong went in and left the door ajar, then slowly opened it when he heard footsteps approaching.

When they met face to face, she was slightly surprised and then bowed.

The prince looked at the prince and said, "I was wondering why you blocked my way everywhere, my ninth brother. It turns out that you have a beautiful mistress hidden in your golden house. You look familiar. I remember you are..."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and replied: "I am Shangguan Haitong."

"Yes, yes, the daughter of the Shangguan family. Very good, very good. A talented man and a beautiful woman, not bad." The prince patted the prince on the shoulder.

One was in mourning, and the other refused the marriage. I didn't expect that these two people were secretly doing something fishy.

Although no evidence related to the case was found, it was worth the trip to discover such a secret.

The prince smiled and said, "I came at the wrong time. Sorry to bother you guys. You guys continue chatting."

"Farewell, Prince." Shangguan Haitong bowed.

Xie Qiuguang felt relieved only after he personally sent the person out. When he came back, he pursed his lips a little embarrassedly: "Thank you."

Shangguan Haitong looked around the room and said, "You're welcome. Can you please tell me who that girl is?"

Xie Qiuguang's eyes darkened. "She was the personal maid who accompanied my mother when she was in trouble. Her name was Chanyan. After my mother passed away, she disappeared. I finally found her, but I discovered that she was poisoned and didn't have much time left. I had no choice but to bring her back to take care of her."

Shangguan Haitong recalled the quick glance she took on the day she returned home from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that the prince was so anxious because he had found this person?

She was confused and asked directly.

Xie Qiuguang nodded: "Yes. I have been looking for her for many years, and finally got some news about her. I didn't dare to delay and rushed out of the city without stopping. My father had a big quarrel with me because of this, and punished me to kneel outside the palace. Fortunately, I have found her, and I will know the truth when she wakes up."

Shangguan Haitong hesitated for a moment: "What if the truth is cruel and you can't accept it? Do you still want to know?"

"I must know." Xie Qiuguang smiled sadly, "No matter how cruel the truth is, no matter how hard it is to accept. I must know how much pain and despair my mother felt back then. As a son, it is only natural to avenge my mother. No matter who the murderer is..."

"Your Highness..." Shangguan Haitong hesitated to speak.

The prince had already realized it and guessed some things.

If the truth is more cruel than the speculation, how should the prince deal with it? How much should he blame himself?

On the way back, Shangguan Haitong sat in the carriage in a daze.

Arriving at the mansion, Huan Shuang helped her master out of the car: "Miss, are you worried about the prince?"

Shangguan Haitong sighed: "Revenge for his mother is his knot. But the truth..."

No matter in the previous life or in this life, the prince has been persistent in pursuing the truth.

Did you abandon your identity in your previous life because you couldn’t accept it?

On that day, the emperor passed away, the prince died, and the queen died.

The third prince ascended the throne with the imperial edict in hand, while the imperial concubine became the empress dowager and ignored all other matters.

She wasn't there and didn't know what happened.

It must, must tear apart all the hypocrisy and expose the bloody truth.

Huan Shuang said optimistically: "I don't think we need to worry about the prince, he will get through it."

People who are strong inside will naturally be successful in everything.

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words. I will ask for your reward another day."

"We agreed that you are not allowed to go back on your word. I'll keep that in mind."

"Okay." Shangguan Haitong felt relieved. There was no point in worrying, what was going to happen would eventually happen...

Wangfu.

Xie Qiuguang stood by the window with his hands behind his back: "When will she wake up?"

The housekeeper had just finished the injection: "It's hard to say. Your Majesty, be patient. I promise she will wake up."

"Okay. I'll wait." Xie Qiuguang clenched his fists.

Waiting for the day when the truth will be revealed...

It rained for a day and a night, and the temperature dropped sharply. We should put on more clothes and prepare winter supplies in advance.

Shangguan Haitong put on her earrings: "Are you sure? He's leaving the palace tonight?"

"Yes." Huanshuang put down the comb and put on the hairpin.

With a smile on his lips, Shangguan Haitong stared at the person in the mirror and said, "Take the person with you and leave the house tonight."

Huanshuang nodded.

In the blink of an eye it was evening.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Huanshuang helped her master get in. Mo Ying had recovered well and stayed by her side.

"Let's go." Huanshuang shouted as she walked beside the carriage.

The car moved slowly.

The capital city is very lively at night.

The vendors and jugglers were busy all the time. It was not easy for anyone to make a living.

The carriage stopped at the teahouse and Shangguan Haitong got off and went to the private room on the second floor.

She sat down by the window: "No need to serve me here, you guys go and have fun."

Huan Shuang said happily: "Thank you, young lady. There is a lantern festival every fifteenth day of the lunar month. I guessed the riddle and brought back the lantern."

Mo Ying was a little afraid of crowded places: "I won't go, I'll stay here with the girl."

"What nonsense are you talking about. Come on, let's see who can guess more riddles." Huanshuang dragged people downstairs.

Mo Ying had no choice but to follow.

Shangguan Haitong smiled as she drank a cup of tea and looked at the sky. The moonlight was beautiful. Will the thing she has been waiting for for so long go smoothly?
