Loveless Cheng Huan in Another World

"Prince... What joke is His Highness the Crown Prince talking about?" Although Concubine De was afraid of warmth, she felt that all the causes were caused by herself, without any imperial brother or imperial sister?It's not all because of this 80-year-old rival who was held in the palm of His Majesty. "If His Highness the Crown Prince really wants a younger brother or sister, he can ask His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely agree. In this way, my Alves Dynasty will not only have a lonely prince."

"Your Majesty is really good." Nuan Nuan said every word. "I'll tell my father when he returns to the palace, okay?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty spoke rudely just now and did not mean to offend His Highness. Your Highness, please see that your Majesty has only been in the palace for 10 years, and she is the goddaughter recognized by the Empress Dowager. Please forgive me."

Concubine De also knew that her words just now were extremely offensive and sarcastic. When Lan'er, the maid beside her, apologized to Nuan Nuan, the woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally her haughty body lay on the ground submissively again. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Your Highness has a lot to say just now, so don't take it to heart."

The look in the warm golden eyes was sharper than the cold light on the blade. He was not angry at Concubine De's confrontation and sarcasm just now, and sighed, "Whose child are you pregnant with? Concubine De, to be honest, This hall does not blame you."

"Your Highness, my concubine..."

"The palace is very clear about the whereabouts of my father recently. If you are willing to become a corrosion product of sulfuric acid like other empresses, then you don't have to worry about it." There is something in the warm words.

The woman gritted her teeth, trembling and unable to speak.

"Lei Di, search Chonghua Palace." Wen Nuan picked up the small leather whip that Lei Di handed over, and walked towards the kneeling Concubine De while ordering.

"The empress dowager's goddaughter, Concubine De, you are really smart." Wen Nuan raised the whip, leaving a deep bloodstain on the woman's shoulder.

"Hmm..." Concubine De's expression turned ugly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The servant girl beside Concubine De was at a loss and was in a hurry.But dare not take a step forward.

"Lan'er, go and report to the empress." Concubine De struggled, "Let's say that Empress De concubine asked her for help. Just say that His Royal Highness...His Royal Highness has gone crazy...Ah!"

The next second the whip landed on the woman's back.

"Do you think she will come to save you?" Nuan Nuan said indifferently, and threw the whip on the ground after seeing Concubine De's maid leave, "Whip falling on your body is much more comfortable than sulfuric acid, isn't it?"

The woman was crying pear blossoms with rain, but now she stared at Wen Nuan with round eyes. "Your Highness... what do you mean? Don't punish the concubine?"

"I heard that you are not only the goddaughter of the emperor's grandmother, but also a good friend with the queen's empress Bingqian." Wen Nuan picked up the wet towel that Bingjia handed over, wiped her hands, and signaled Concubine De to get up.

"Yes, His Royal Highness is really observant." The woman struggled to get up while propping up the soft chair beside her, and was still in severe pain after being whipped twice by Nuan Nuan just now.

"Do you think she will come to save you?" Wen Nuan asked Concubine De with a smile on her face.

"My sister will definitely come to save me. Your Royal Highness, this concubine doesn't know what you want from this concubine, but the empress and I are good sisters, and she won't let me go."

……

Lei Di stepped forward, bent down and whispered a few words to Nuannuan.

"Bring someone here." Warm and flamboyant eyes looked at Concubine De whose face changed suddenly.

It was a little girl who came up.The little girl has long light gray hair, big gray eyes, and a red beauty spot on the center of her brow just like Concubine De. She shouted 'Mother' to Concubine De, while trying to break free from the ropes that bound her body.

"Mother, save Sheng'er, it hurts so much...the rope hurts so much, the tied Sheng'er hurts so much...they beat Sheng'er, Sheng'er wants to find mother!"

Concubine De's face was pale, but she was still plausible, looking at Wen Nuan, "I don't know what His Royal Highness means by this? This little girl was already 30 years old when she was found in the palace, but after being examined by the imperial doctor, it is definitely not His Majesty's blood. The day she was discovered was the turn of the god sacrifice ceremony, look at how beautiful she is. Empress Empress Mercy did not condemn her, but rewarded her as a goddaughter to Bengong."

"Your Highness, these things have happened in the harem too. The queen mother once agreed, because the emperor was unwilling to have an heir, some baby girls who were born with outstanding appearance were carried to the harem to be raised, and some especially beautiful babies were adopted by the harem concubines as foster daughters. When she grows up, she will be selected as a court lady and become one of the three thousand beauties." Bingjiao told Nuannuan in a low voice.

Wen Nuan nodded, walked to the little girl, looked at her indifferently for a moment, and said, "She is very beautiful."

"Sheng'er, send your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince." Concubine De's heart hung in her throat, "His Highness the Crown Prince has never intervened in the affairs of the harem, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will spare our mother and daughter."

The girl looked up at Wen Nuan, stopped crying just now, her big gray eyes were pure and peaceful, her cheeks puffed out, and she finally asked, "Beautiful little brother..."

"Sheng'er! Don't be rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Concubine De tried to go forward to Wen Nuan's side, but was stopped by Lei Di holding a sword.

Wen Nuan waved her hand, then turned to look at Concubine De, "Look, your daughter is so cute, if you let her be corroded by sulfuric acid, wouldn't it be a waste of everything in this palace?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Your Highness!" Concubine De's face turned pale again after recovering, "Your Highness, I will give you whatever you want, don't harm Sheng'er."

"This hall wants Sheng'er." Nuan Nuan expressed no emotion, walked in front of Concubine De and lowered his voice, "If you don't want Sheng'er to die in front of you, give it to this hall as soon as possible... Tell the truth."

"His Royal Highness..." Concubine De took a step back.

"Your Lan'er is going to report to the empress. If she doesn't tell the truth before she comes, you can't stop me from asking Sheng'er."

"His Royal Highness..." Concubine De gritted her teeth and seemed to be firm for a moment, "This concubine is telling the truth, please don't harm Sheng'er. She...she is my daughter, the daughter of a concubine."

"Whose daughter?" Nuan Nuan asked forcefully, as if Concubine De's answer was already in his mind. "If the paper can't wrap the fire, answer the hall."

"Your Highness, please..."

"This hall will find out the palace records, you can't cover it up, answer this hall!" Wen Nuan raised her voice.

"It's General Mandela."

Wen Nuan turned his face slightly, Lei Di understood, nodded and turned to leave.

"Your Highness, please... don't harm them, it's my wife..."

"You are also pregnant with his child now?"

Seeing that Nuan Nuan didn't intend to pursue it, Concubine De boldly nodded.

"How many months?" There was a tenderness in Nuannuan's eyes.

"Two... two months." Concubine De lowered her eyes, avoiding the warm gaze.

"Sheng'er is so beautiful, this child of yours must be very beautiful too." Wen Nuan reached out and caressed the woman's abdomen carefully, "Be sure to treat him well."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The sudden change of attitude of Wen Nuan not only made Concubine De overwhelmed, but also Huo Xi and Bing Xiao who were standing by the side also looked at each other.

……

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that she is not feeling well, please ask your Majesty...to make amends to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine De's complexion changed drastically, she clenched her fists, and said angrily, "I'm going to pay my respects this morning, how could the Empress fall ill so quickly!"

"Perhaps it's time for the palace to visit the Empress Empress tomorrow, Bingjiao, and tell the Shangyao Palace to prepare some supplements for the Empress Empress." Nuannuan said to Bingjiao.

"Yes, Your Highness." Bingjiao said respectfully.

"Empress Defei," Wen Nuan smiled, "Recently the empress has adopted a adopted son in Ruoqian Palace, I wonder if the empress knows about this?"

Concubine De nodded, "Your Highness, the empress only told one concubine about this matter. The child is only in his 70s. Although he is the adopted son of the empress, the empress considers him to be a prince. He has an ice hairpin in his hand. The ice hairpin was stolen from the palace, and the empress did not arrest him because he said his father was His Majesty, and the empress was raising him in the palace."

But ordinary people would be very angry when they heard this, but Wen Nuan still had a pleasant expression, "I don't know if the empress can do something for the hall."

"This……"

"Sheng'er's living conditions here are not as good as those in Han Chan Palace." Nuan Nuan watched Concubine De's expression closely from the corner of her eyes, "It's better to let her live in Han Chan Palace."

Concubine De immediately knelt on the ground, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Tonight, while the queen is not paying attention, bring the 'little prince' in her hand to the main hall. The guard of the main hall, Bing Xiao, will wait in Chonghua hall to pick up the 'little prince'."

"Yes."

……

late at night.

The dark blue night is decorated with starry sky, but it is quiet and eerie.

Nuannuan was still helping Xuanyuan Kaiao review the memorial in the study, when Bingjiao pushed open the door violently.

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

"What's wrong? Bingjiao?" Nuannuan hurriedly got up.

"Concubine De hanged herself with white silk."

"Suicide?" There was a sharp look in Nuan Nuan's eyes, "Did you see anyone from the Empress around?"

"Only her personal maid is here."

Looking at the candlelight, Nuan Nuan seemed to think of something, sighed, and was silent for a long time, "That maid must have been placed by the Queen next to Concubine De. When pleading for mercy, the only thing that was not mentioned was that she and the queen are good sisters."

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Wen Nuan walked to the window and looked at the dark night in front of him. "It seems that the queen cherishes the card in her hand."

"Your Highness is talking about the little boy who escaped from our Han Chan Palace?"

"Bing Xiao, get ready, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will visit Ruoqian Palace."

"Your Highness, what should the little girl do? Since her mother is dead, why don't you kill her too?" Bing Xiaoli asked.

Before Nuan Nuan could reply, Lei Di opened the door, saluted Nuan Nuan, and said, "Your Highness, General Mandela asks to see you."
