I have the beauty of the villain's love

The prince blatantly resisted the marriage, which angered the emperor, and many people in the palace were discussing it secretly.

Hearing these rumors, Bai Lian was also upset, but there was nothing he could do.In a blink of an eye, it is September, the midsummer has passed, and autumn has entered.The crown prince was confined to the East Palace. Even if Bai Lian didn't ask about the government, he knew that the situation in the palace had changed.

The fourth prince has a problem with his legs, but because of his outstanding talent, the emperor is paying more and more attention to him.In addition, he was the son of Concubine Hui, even if the emperor promised the queen, he still had some criticisms against him because of the prince's resistance to marriage this time.However, the crown prince was banned from visiting, and he was still idle in the East Palace, as if he didn't want to get involved in the government anymore, which made the emperor feel more and more dissatisfied.

Concubine Hui fell ill in late autumn and was bedridden. The emperor left the government and went to Guanghe Palace to accompany her. Only then left Guanghe Palace.

Bai Lian was leisurely in Changle Palace, and when he was lamenting that the emperor had true love for Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui, who was rumored to have just recovered from illness, came to Changle Palace to invite Bai Lian for the same reason.

Bai Li'an gritted his teeth and went. When he arrived at Guanghe Palace, he saw Concubine Hui with a pale face leaning on the couch.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here."

The maid next to Concubine Hui spoke, Concubine Hui opened her eyes, glanced at Bai Lian, and said nothing.

Bai Lian was a little afraid of her, and when she saw her looking over, he lowered his eyes.

Concubine Hui was also a little weak because of the illness. When she saw Bai Lian, she waved her hand, and the maid next to her took Bai Lian to the fourth prince's palace.Bai Lian thought that once he entered, it was the previous scene again, but he didn't want to think that although the doors and windows of the fourth prince's palace were still closed, there were no disturbing musicians.Many musical instruments that were originally placed in the palace are now collected elsewhere.

Bai Lian saw the fourth prince sitting on a chair, in front of him were two palace maids holding puppets in their hands, the fourth prince bent down and pinched the arm of a puppet, as if he was talking to the palace maid.

When Bai Lian approached, he realized that the fourth prince was also holding a plywood in his hand. The plywood was pulling a puppet with silk thread. The puppet was half a body shorter than the two palace men, and the hem of the clothes embroidered with silk thread was dragging on the ground.

Bai Lian asked, "What are the four emperors doing?"

Only then did the fourth prince know that he was coming, and he turned around and smiled at him. Although his face was still covered by a mask, looking at his crooked eyes, he was indeed smiling.

"I heard that it's a puppet show outside the palace. I think it's interesting. Let them show it to me." The fourth prince said.

Bai Lian had heard him speak in Guanghe Palace, and he was still timid at that time, for fear of being noticed.

Bai Lian leaned down, looked at the puppet led by the palace man, and praised, "What a delicate puppet."

The fourth prince moved his fingers, and the arm of the puppet he was holding suddenly lifted up.

Bai Lian found it interesting, so he stretched out his hand to stroke it, and the fourth prince walked away from him with the puppet as if deliberately teasing him.

"Did Brother Four let them act just now?" Bai Lian saw that the two palace maids were holding the puppets and were motionless.

The fourth prince said 'hmm', "Do you want to see it?"

Bai Lian said, "I have never seen such a rare thing in the palace."

The fourth prince glanced at the two palace servants, "Go ahead."

Only then did the two palace men start to move with the puppets.

Sitting beside the fourth prince, Bai Lian watched, and saw that the two puppets in front of him seemed to be acting as a pair of mother and daughter or sisters. They were warm and dependent on each other in the front, but they suddenly looked like enemies in the back.Finally, the puppet on the left gave a silver bead to the one on the right, and the puppet on the right gave him back a gold bead.

Bai Lian felt that there was a metaphor in it, but he couldn't see it.Until the fourth prince's fingers moved slightly, the puppet hanging on his fingertips also entered the scene.

When Bai Lian was fascinated, the two palace maids each took out a handful of gold scissors and cut off the silk thread controlling the puppet.For a moment, the two flexible puppets prostrated themselves on the ground.

The fourth prince suddenly turned his head and asked Bai Lian, "Does it look good?"

Bai Lian didn't even react yet.

Seeing Bai Lian's stunned look, the fourth prince suddenly threw the puppet in his hand into the two puppets, and the three broken silk threads were entangled together, which seemed to have some indescribable hints mean.

"Fourth prince, it's time for you to see the memorial that was delivered today." The palace attendant reminded.

The fourth prince responded, and before leaving, he said to Bai Li'an, "Young brother, go back."

what?

Concubine Hui asked him to accompany the fourth prince, and now she wants to let him go so easily?When Bai Lian came out of Guanghe Palace, he still couldn't believe it.

Bai Lian suddenly thought, did Concubine Hui invite him here, or the Fourth Prince invited him here?

After this incident, winter entered in the blink of an eye, Concubine De followed by Concubine Hui who had just recovered from her illness for a few days, also fell ill suddenly.Princess Yuzhen went back to the palace to accompany her around, and when she saw the unconscious Concubine De on the bed, she was holding on to the edge of the bed and crying almost to death.The relationship between Bai Lian and Princess Yuzhen is naturally to be seen in the past. He went to Ziwei Palace, and saw Concubine De's face pale as paper under the bright yellow curtain.Princess Yuzhen had only returned to the palace to visit Concubine De a month ago, how could she accept her sudden serious illness, she lost her temper in Ziwei Palace, and forced to question the servants, saying that she wanted to find out whoever killed her mother and concubine.

How could the emperor let Princess Yuzhen gossip and scolded her? When Princess Yuzhen cried, the emperor softened again. In addition, Concubine De and him did have some feelings over the years, and suddenly he was bedridden. feel good.Seeing Princess Yuzhen crying endlessly in Ziwei Palace, the emperor couldn't control her, so he flung his sleeves and left.

Bai Lian followed Princess Yuzhen, watching her rummage through the palace looking for 'criminal evidence' against her concubine mother, and all the maids serving Concubine De were ordered to kneel on the ground by her.Seeing the former Princess Yuzhen in this state, Bai Lian felt extremely uncomfortable.But Concubine De was really sick, there was no news in the palace, the maid who was close to her only said that Concubine De's hysteria had worsened, and she often woke up talking in her sleep.

Princess Yuzhen asked Concubine De what she said, but the court lady couldn't tell.Later, a silver bracelet was found in Concubine De's jewelry box.

That silver bracelet, Princess Yuzhen also had one in her hand, but as she grew older, the bracelet was taken off, although she didn't know where she kept it, but Concubine De pressed this one under her pillow, it was old-fashioned with a dark color The bloodstain is definitely not the one of Princess Yuzhen.

Princess Yuzhen asked about the origin of the silver bracelet, but none of the maids serving in Ziwei Palace could tell.

Standing behind Princess Yuzhen, Bai Lian looked at the blood-stained silver bracelet, and inexplicably remembered the puppet show he saw in Guanghe Palace that day.

He came out of Ziwei Palace with a heavy heart, and asked Ruyan to find a few older maids in the palace for him, and asked about the situation in the palace back then, and when he asked, he really asked some old things— —It turned out that Yuzhen's biological mother, Concubine De, was not favored by the emperor when she entered the palace. Later, it was because Concubine Hui supported her many times in front of the emperor that she had the glory she has now.

A speculation arose in Bai Lian's heart, but he was a little uncertain.It happened that Changle Palace was fine recently, so he went to Guanghe Palace again.

This time, he met the emperor, the emperor just came out of Concubine Hui's bedroom, his brows tightened, and when he came out to see Bai Lian, he was stunned for a moment.

It was Bai Lian who reacted quickly and saluted quickly.

"Why did An'er come to Guanghe Palace?" the emperor asked.

Bailian said, "I have something to ask Brother Pope."

As the emperor got old, he liked to watch those scenes of warmth between brothers and sisters. Hearing what Bai Lian said, the expression on his face softened a bit.

Bai Lian waited for the emperor to leave, and went in to see that the fourth prince was sitting beside the bed feeding Concubine Hui to take medicine, but when Bai Lian came in, Concubine Hui pushed the fourth prince and turned his face away. The brown concoction in her mouth slid down the corner of her mouth.

The fourth prince wiped her clean with a white silk, and no longer forced her, he raised his hand and handed the medicine bowl to the palace man behind him.

Bai Lian stood hesitantly at the door, and a palace official notified him, only then did the fourth prince realize that he was coming, turned to look at him, and waved to him.

As soon as Bai Lian walked in, he smelled an inexplicable aroma.

"Why is the emperor here?" The fourth prince looked up at him.

"I have something to ask Brother Pope." After Bai Lian finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a gaze looking at him.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Concubine Hui staring at his face.This realization made Bai Lian feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.

The fourth prince also saw his discomfort, "My mother and concubine want to rest, let's go out and talk."

Bai Lian responded, and after Concubine Hui resigned, she went out with the palace servants who were pushing the fourth prince.

When they arrived at the fourth prince's bedroom, after the palace guards were pushed back, the fourth prince asked, "What do you want to say to me?"

Bai Lian made an embarrassed look, "The last time I saw the puppet show at Brother Huang's place, I have been thinking about the story since I got back."

When the fourth prince heard that Bai Lian really brought it up, the deep meaning in his eyes became more and more incomprehensible.

"This time, I came here specially to ask Brother Pope." Bai Lian said.

The Fourth Prince suddenly said, "I thought you wanted to ask, are my legs good or bad?"

Bailian didn't know how to answer.

There was no one else in the palace, the fourth prince, who had been sitting on the chair in front of him, held on to the armrest and stood up from the chair.It was just because he had been sitting for a long time, when he got up, he almost fell back again.Bai Lian held his hand and told him to stand still.

The fourth prince looked at Bai Li'an's hand, his eyelashes drooped even lower.

Then, Bai Lian learned the story of the puppet show from the mouth of the fourth prince. The puppet play was about a pair of sisters. For a gold bead.

This is a very simple story, but when Bai Lian related this matter to what happened many years ago, he felt that each puppet seemed to be dealing with a person, "Where did you see it, Brother Huang?"

"I made it up myself."

Hearing this, Bai Lian became more determined, but seeing the strange look on the fourth prince's face, he found it difficult to speak.

"Do you want to ask me, what is it that I gave up?" said the fourth prince.

If Bai Lian didn't have an answer in his heart, he wouldn't have come here today.He came here just to prove one thing.

"It's me who gave up."

Bai Lian didn't expect that he would directly say what he guessed in his heart.

The fourth prince's disabled legs were fake, and Concubine Hui imprisoned him in Guanghe Palace and forced him to wear a golden mask, just to hide this fact.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know—what the torture I have suffered all these years is for." What the fourth prince said was the truth, and if he hadn't seen Yuzhen who was so similar to himself, he wouldn't have known With such doubts, you will not know the truth that has been buried for a long time.

"Tell me, don't be afraid of me..." Before saying the word 'tell the prince', Bai Lian thought of the three puppets with their strings cut.

Now Concubine Hui is seriously ill, and Concubine Hui's hysteria is getting worse...

The fourth prince really said, "After I kill them, tell the prince, okay?"

It was a negotiating tone.

Bai Lian suddenly understood, and the Fourth Prince would tell him the reason.

"you--"

Because the fourth prince was wearing a mask, the golden hoop was strangled on his head, only his eyes, lips and nose were exposed.He was sitting in a wheelchair again. His appearance was so weak that he reminded people of livestock raised in captivity.

Who would have imagined what kind of life the majestic fourth prince lived in Guanghe Palace.

"Brother Huang, you don't have to do this, you can tell your father that when the time comes..."

"Nothing will change at that time." He had already made up his mind, the emperor took care of Concubine Hui with his clothes untidy, and he couldn't see how affectionate he was in it.Even if he said it at that time, the best result would be to return him, or worse, the emperor would make the mistake.

Such a thing, in the eyes of others, is indeed forgivable, but in the heart of the person involved, it leaves more pain that cannot be forgiven.

Bai Lian recalled how she looked when she saw Concubine Hui just now, how hideous Concubine Hui was in front of Liu Qingwu at that time, but now she has really become a doll, at the mercy of the Fourth Prince.

Bai Li'an, who got the truth he wanted, felt a lot heavier. He could talk to the prince now, but he remembered the fourth prince who was sleeping in the quilt when he first went back to Guanghe Palace. At that time, even a court lady could make him tremble, which was completely different from what he saw today.

But if you don't say...

Will the result really be as the fourth prince said?

"Where did the sixth prince go?"

Startled by the sudden sound, Bai Lian woke up, and found that after he came out of Guanghe Palace, he walked back to Changle Palace unknowingly.

Ru Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty was still asking you just now."

Bai Lian raised his foot and was about to go in, when he saw two familiar maids standing outside the palace, but they were not from his Changle Palace, "Are they?"

Ru Yan glanced at it and said, "Princess Yuzhen came over just now, seeing that you are not here, she is waiting inside."

Thinking of Princess Yuzhen crying in Ziwei Palace, Bai Lian felt a little complicated for a while.

If he didn't know about it, at most he would comfort Princess Yuzhen, but now that he knows about it, if Princess Yuzhen cries in front of him...

After thinking about it, Bai Lian walked in, and saw Liu Qingwu and Yuzhen sitting together, and they seemed to be talking.

Seeing him coming back, Liu Qingwu got up and stood up, "Where did the emperor go, I asked Ru Yan to look for you for a long time."

Bai Lian said, "Turning around in the imperial garden."

The imperial garden is very big, and it is impossible to find a few court ladies, so Liu Qingwu didn't ask any more questions, but only glanced at Princess Yuzhen, "The princess has something to say to you."

Bai Lian looked at Princess Yuzhen, compared to Princess Yuzhen who was crying and making a fuss that day, the current calm appearance is really a bit pitiful.

Liu Qingwu entered the bedroom, and Bai Lian looked at Princess Yuzhen and said, "Is your mother and concubine feeling better?"

"I woke up in the morning." Princess Yuzhen's eye circles were still slightly red, she didn't know how many times she cried for Concubine De.

When Bai Lian didn't know how to respond, he saw Princess Yuzhen and said, "I came here today to apologize to the emperor."

Bai Lian was startled when he heard the latter sentence.

"I have been self-willed since I was a child, and I told you to be tolerant everywhere." Princess Yuzhen's cheeks became thinner, and she has changed a lot compared to her previous arrogant temper in the palace. The imperial brother actually agreed to me - what the prince taught me is that in the entire palace, only the mother concubine and you treat me best, but I..."

Bai Lian thought that it was because of Concubine De that she had so many worries. He was indeed angry with Yuzhen for a while, but he was originally to blame for this matter. Risk, "Isn't it all right now?"

Princess Yuzhen couldn't help crying when Bai Lian touched her cheek.

"The prince knows, so he won't tell the truth." Bai Lian said, "You have been living in the consort's mansion these days, and I have no chance to ask how you are doing."

Luo Wenpei was indeed an upright gentleman. Princess Yuzhen lived in the concubine's mansion for many days and lived in seclusion, not much different from being in the palace.If there is a difference, it is only because of the absence of Bai Lian's company.

"Emperor brother, I'm sorry." Yu is really a face-to-face person, she can take the initiative to admit her mistake, how could Bai Li'an make things difficult for her.

Bai Lian comforted a few words in a gentle voice, and Princess Yuzhen stopped the wetness in her eyes.

Bai Lian thought about the fourth prince and said, if he wanted to take the life of Concubine De, he asked again.

Although Princess Yuzhen held back her tears, Bai Lian could still tell that Concubine De was seriously ill this time.

"The concubine mother kept clutching her abdomen in her sleep, as if she was in great pain, tossing and turning on the bed, I called her, but she couldn't wake up no matter what."

Bai Lian knew that it was a trick played by the fourth prince, but if he really got his wish...

"If the concubine is gone, I..."

Seeing Princess Yuzhen's appearance, Bai Lian's heart became more and more complicated.

The fourth prince and Yuzhen... He would rather not go to the Guanghe Palace today, and he would rather not know the secret of the fourth prince.
