Your Highness, want to run after flirting?

It rained like a waterfall at night.

Xunyang was hidden in the darkness, only a lamp was on in the study room in the ten princes' mansion.

It makes the night darker.

"My third brother is really lucky. In the past, I was favored by my father and honored by the Sima clan. Now that I have lost power, I have Lan Xiang as your backer. How can it not be enviable?"

Su Qizhi sat at the table, lazily poured a glass of wine, and joked after drinking a glass.

Lan Ziqing, who was opposite him, had a face as heavy as water.

Lan Ziqing looked at the handsome man in crimson in front of him, said silently, "I can tell you where the Prince's troops are stationed, but you must promise me that you will never hurt the Prince's hair in the future."

The person on the opposite side laughed softly after hearing this.

"How can I be willing?"

Su Qizhi said with a smile, seeing Lan Ziqing staring at him, he curled his lips, and said, "Don't you believe me, Lan Ziqing, do you want me to swear to the sky?"

"No need."

Lan Ziqing withdrew her eyes, drooped her eyes and remained silent for a moment, pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what to think about, raised her eyes after a long time, and said expressionlessly, "I have one more condition."

While pouring the wine, Su Qizhi casually said, "All ears."

At this moment, a thunder "boomed" from the sky, just drowning Lan Ziqing's voice in the thunder. After the thunder, only Su Qizhi's "haha" laughter could be heard in the study.

"The only thing my Brother San Huang did right in this life was to win Lan Xiang's heart."

"Forget it, I promise you."

Su Qizhi laughed.

Lan Ziqing remained expressionless.

After the agreement, Lan Ziqing walked out of the Ten Princes' Mansion stiffly, and stood still in the pouring rain, staring blankly at the deep and vast night ahead. The heavy rain soon soaked his Tsing Yi.

The rain dripped down that pale and cold face.

Those black eyes were as dark and silent as if they were staring into an abyss.

Not a single ray of light.

Lan Ziqing, it turns out that you are nothing but a villain who betrays the Lord.

He closed his eyes deeply, as if extremely tired.

This night, only he himself knew that he had not only betrayed His Highness the Crown Prince, but also his own soul.

The boy sitting in front of the carriage saw him standing in the heavy rain, quickly took an umbrella and jumped down, stepped on several puddles, and hastily opened the umbrella to cover his head.

Lan Ziqing shook his head, stepped out in the heavy rain, and came to the carriage. Before getting into the carriage, his back trembled violently, and he almost fell, but fortunately, the servant at the side helped him quickly.

Lan Ziqing's body was so stiff that it took a lot of effort to get into the carriage.

"...let's go"

The boy raised his whip, the horse neighed, and the horse's hooves splashed in the night rain.

After Su Danchen was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by Lan Ziqing, he either got drunk every day, or knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion drunk, but no matter how he knocked, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was always closed.

Su Danchen, who was drunk at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will be taken back to the Palace by the servants who came after him.

On this day, before he had time to go to the prime minister's mansion, he first heard the news from the palace that Concubine Li Gui called him into the palace.

Su Danchen's whole body was shaken, he was mostly sober from the wine, and hurriedly asked the boy to prepare the horse.

After getting on the horse, he rushed to the palace immediately.

After the incident of the fifteenth prince, Concubine Li Gui was left out in the cold by Emperor Yang, and even Chenxia Palace was left out a lot.

Standing at the door, Su Danchen saw that the palace was deserted and dark, and couldn't help but have a sore nose.

The maids in the palace quickly greeted her, leaned behind her and said "Your Highness, please come with your servants" while leading Su Danchen inside.

Going around the layers of curtains, I saw a blurry figure reflected on the innermost bed curtain.

"Mother concubine!"

Su Danchen hurried over.

The maid who came with her lowered her eyebrows and retreated.

"Chen'er...cough...you're here."

It was just a few short words, but Concubine Li spoke with great difficulty, as if she had spent a lot of effort.

While coughing, he propped up his body.Su Danchen hurriedly stuffed a soft pillow behind her.

The woman in front of her was yellow and thin, her shape was as dry as onyx, and she almost lost her appearance. She still had the agile and cunning appearance in the past.

Seeing her appearance like this, Su Danchen was shocked.

"Mother, are you seriously ill again?"

Tears welled up in Taohua's eyes instantly, and with red eyes, she held her cold and thin hand resting on the outside of the quilt, blaming herself terribly in her heart.

"It's all because the child didn't take good care of the concubine mother..."

The voice became hoarse, and finally he couldn't help but bury his face in the quilt, and the choking sound came from below.

Concubine Li stretched out her hand to caress his trembling back, looked tenderly at the crying man lying on her lap, and said softly: "Life is a destiny, Chen'er need not be sad."

"I don't allow you to say that, mother concubine! I'll go to the imperial doctor right away."

He stood up suddenly, and was pulled by a force when he was about to step out.

Concubine Li looked at him with a trace of sadness, which was fleeting, and her eyes became more gentle, and said: "Chen'er, let's talk to my concubine."

Su Danchen sat back crying.

Concubine Li stared at the handsome young man in the blue robe and brocade crown in front of her. She was also pregnant in October, and she devoted all her love and care to her flesh and blood.

Now that her father has resigned and returned home, the Sima clan no longer has the glory of the past, and she is... dying, who will take care of her Chen'er in the future.

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with water, her heart was bitter and astringent, she tried her best to restrain the hoarseness in her throat, and said softly: "Chen'er is drinking again."

When Su Danchen rushed over, the smell of alcohol came from his body.

"Chen'er was wrong, Chen'er will never drink again."

Su Danchen held her hand tightly against his cheek, sobbing softly.

Concubine Li Gui's eyes flickered, she was silent for a while, and then said: "It's better to see flowers in the fog than to have flowers. Chen'er, you must cherish the person in front of you." After a long pause, she replied: "If Chen'er really likes you Lan Xiang, don't care about the eyes of the world."

Su Danchen was startled, "Concubine Mu...do you know about Ziqing and I?"

Concubine Li Gui sighed softly, "Fool, do you think that Mother Concubine really doesn't know that you have been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Mother, aren't you angry..."

Su Danchen looked at her carefully.

Concubine Li Gui shook her head lightly, as if recalling something, intense pain flashed in her eyes.

She closed her eyes deeply, and said with a tired face: "My concubine really didn't understand back then, she hated a person for this, and even did a terrible thing... Now, concubine mother has figured it out, It's a pity I can't go back to the beginning..."

The sadness and guilt in the almond eyes was too strong to dissolve.

Su Danchen couldn't understand what she said, but seeing her pale as paper, as if she was trying to suppress something, she suddenly panicked and said worriedly: "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Li Gui forced a smile on her face and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother is fine." With her palm gently pressed against that handsome face, after a while, she said softly, "Lan Xiang is brilliant and wise, you are with him , Mother Concubine is also relieved."

Hearing what she said, Su Danchen's nose became more sour, and he couldn't bear to tell her that Ziqing no longer wanted him.

When Concubine Li told him to treat Lan Ziqing well, Su Danchen could only nod his head.

Concubine Li Gui said suddenly, "Chen'er, your jade pendant."

The jade pendant in Concubine Li's mouth refers to the piece that every prince will get after birth.

Su Danchen subconsciously touched his waist, but found nothing, then remembered that he left the jade pendant outside Shuntian Mansion in order to squeeze into Shuntian Mansion from the crowd, and he was no longer with him.

Embarrassedly telling this to Concubine Li Gui, Concubine Li was startled and anxious after hearing this, coughing low in her throat, "Chen'er, how could you throw away such an important jade pendant at will."

"Mother, don't be angry, it's Chen'er who made a mistake."

Su Danchen's face became anxious, and he quickly stretched out his hand to comfort her.

Concubine Li Gui gradually calmed down, sighed, and said: "This jade pendant is originally handed over by every prince to the couple when they get married. The mother concubine originally wanted you to give the jade pendant to Lan Xiang...Since it has been lost, I have no choice but to give up."

Su Danchen felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help thinking that even if the jade pendant was still there, Ziqing wouldn't want it now.

But he said: "Ziqing won't care about this..."

Concubine Li nodded, and stopped talking about the jade pendant, and instead talked about some interesting things about his childhood.

Su Danchen listened to her seriously with red eyes.

The atmosphere is both sweet and sad.

Unknowingly, the sky fell and the room became dark. Su Danchen got up to hold the lamp, and when she sat back, Concubine Li was silent for a long time in the tent, and said: "It's getting late, Chen'er can't stay anymore, please leave."

Su Danchen glanced at the sky and nodded.

"Mother and concubine have a good rest, the baby will come back tomorrow."

A look of sadness flashed in Concubine Li's apricot eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Mother and concubine will copy Buddhist scriptures tomorrow, Chen'er will come back later."

Su Danchen believed it, and after answering, helped her to lie down, covered her with a quilt, and asked again if it was necessary to summon the imperial physician, seeing Concubine Li shaking her head, she turned and walked out reluctantly.

"Chen'er!"

The voice that came was so shrill that Su Danchen's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, he saw Concubine Li sitting up at some point, with never-before-seen reluctance and sadness in her almond eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Su Danchen went back to her bed in panic, panicked, and vaguely felt that something was going to happen.

"Mother and concubine, do you have something to hide from Chen'er?"

Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, Concubine Li felt bitter in her heart, held back her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: Don't be afraid, mother concubine is fine, mother concubine just wants to tell you to live a good life with Lan Xiang in the future. "

Su Danchen's eyes were red, and he cried: "Concubine Mu, don't lie to Chen'er."

Concubine Li smiled lightly, returning to her usual sly look, and said with a smile: "Chen'er has grown up, so it's not easy to lie."

Su Danchen stared blankly at the man in front of him who had changed his appearance, "Concubine Mother... were you teasing the child just now?"

Concubine Pear covered her sleeves and smiled.

Su Danchen immediately understood, turned his head to one side angrily, and finally it was Concubine Li who admitted her mistake in every possible way, then turned her head back,

Throwing herself into her arms, she said in a crying voice, "Concubine Mu, don't scare Chen'er anymore, Chen'er is really scared."

The corners of Concubine Li's eyes were sore, her jade hands caressed his still trembling back, her face was hidden in the shadow behind the bed curtain, she said softly: "One last time."

After being "scared" by Concubine Li, Su Danchen insisted on staying here to watch her fall asleep before leaving, but Concubine Li couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.

After a while, Concubine Li fell into a deep sleep, Su Danchen tucked her quilt, and Fang left lightly.

After Su Danchen left, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, put on her clothes and got out of bed, and came outside the palace.

The sky is filled with stars.

"Miss."

The maid who had led the way for Su Danchen before appeared beside her, looking at the woman in plain clothes with complicated eyes.

After looking at the night for a long time, Concubine Li looked away, and said calmly: "Do you remember what I told you?"

The maid knelt at the imperial concubine's feet with a "plop", and said anxiously: "Once the letter is delivered to His Majesty, His Majesty will know the truth of the year. At that time, His Majesty will definitely not let the empress go."

"I hope your mother will think twice!"

He kowtowed heavily.

The letter in the maid's mouth was Sima Lihou's personal letter confessing how he framed Emperor Li and Yin Ting back then.

A low sigh slowly sounded in the air.

"I have been wrong for more than 20 years, and I don't want to be wrong again..."

The maid wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by her weary wave.

"No need to say any more, I've made up my mind. Step back."

Seeing her being so decisive, the maid bit her lip and had no choice but to stand up and retreat.

After the maid left, the imperial concubine with no makeup and white clothes stood for a long time in the empty palace courtyard.

Separated by a wall, the inside of Chenxia Palace is deserted and quiet, while the outside of the palace is brightly lit.

Standing in the palace courtyard, Sima Liwan suddenly felt that the place was too small and narrow, it was like a birdcage and she couldn't breathe.

Back then, she plotted painstakingly to kill elder brother Yin Ting and elder brother Li Jing in order to put herself in this cage.

With a wry smile on his face.

Brother Li Jing... On the way to Huangquan, Hu'er will come to apologize to you again.

The night was thick and foggy.
