There's something wrong with the lonely princess

In the next few days, Xie Yiyan watched several big dramas, such as the cat and dog in a certain palace died, which empress found illegal items on her body, whose palace maid disappeared inexplicably, who Who is good with whom, who is annoyed with whom, who is favored and arrogant, and who is neglected. On the surface, it looks like a quiet time, but this quietness always smells of blood.

It made Xie Yiyan feel a little flustered, especially when the eldest princess told him which dry well the lost maid was in, and she was very interested in taking him to see it, Xie Yiyan was dumbfounded.

"Let's not read it."

He shrank back, it was a bit unacceptable.

"It's already here, thank you if you don't take a look." The eldest princess seemed to want to show him some kind of style, seeing that Xie Yiyan really didn't want to go, so she didn't force her: "Poor girl, her master is now with her." The sisters and sisters of the people who killed her are so affectionate, anyone under Jiuquan will have their nose twisted by anger."

"Why don't you see Su Yi?" Holding the teacup, the eldest princess was a little puzzled: "I've been here for a few days, and everyone in other palaces knows to come to say hello, why doesn't she come?"

"I'm pregnant, the emperor granted permission, you don't need to salute when you see the emperor, she will come to see you?" The queen was playing with fragrant flowers, with a leisurely look.

"What are you pregnant? Pregnant?" The eldest princess laughed as if she had heard some joke: "She is pregnant? Why are the women in the Su family stupider than the other? She is pregnant? Is it dead? I didn't even ask when I entered the palace Ask, how long has it been since no woman in this palace has been pregnant, she dares to do this?!"

Xie Yiyan looked ignorant, he knew that a concubine's pregnancy was a major event in the palace, and whether or not she had children often determined the fate of the concubine for the rest of her life.

"Whose child, this woman is a bit stupid, but she is very courageous."

When the eldest princess asked such a question, Xie Yiyan dropped the teacup in her hand, and she didn't know what expression to put on her face, so she froze for a moment.

"Why are you panicking?" The Eldest Princess picked up the teacup and put it away again, sighing: "My good white tea is wasted."

The eldest princess is in a good mood today, and she washes her hands and cooks tea specially for Xie Yiyan to taste one or two. Although Xie Yiyan is born as a "big lady", she is actually a bit rough. The only one in the Xie family who can taste tea is his mother, so he can follow suit. Good or bad, it tastes the same in his mouth, and he can't taste it at all.

"Auntie, why don't I go back first?" It's fine for me to listen to your little gossip. It's such a big secret, and it has something to do with the blood of the royal family, so he better stop listening.

"Why don't you want to hear it anymore?" The Eldest Princess said lazily, "If Su Yi gives birth to a son, if that son is favored again, you won't be able to keep your crown prince's position. Listen, what's the matter? ?”

"Princess, why are you scaring her?" The queen was a little unhappy: "It's not like I haven't done it before. The princess doesn't have to worry about it. Although my bones are old, they are still hard. If you want to touch my son, you have to weigh whether you have that life."

The eldest princess nodded: "Well, then I won't scare you."

Then the tone became cold: "The people in the harem who dared to make such an idea are dead. This Su Yi is so stupid, what are you going to do?"

Xie Yiyan instinctively felt that this matter might have something to do with the little prince's leg disease, so he hesitated to speak.

"Follow her." The queen still had no expression on her face: "The left and right children can't be born."

"Sheng is definitely not born, but I don't know who she wants to bring down with this child."

"She is being favored right now, so what she wants is the queen's position." The queen finally raised her eyes, put the fragrant flower in her hand into the teacup, and said to the eldest princess: "Let me taste it."

"Bubbles." The Eldest Princess made tea in response, Xie Yiyan opened her mouth to speak again, but she dared not say it, he was rather timid in front of the queen.

"Just say what you want to say, what do you do like a little daughter-in-law who is being bullied, besides punishing you to kneel, have you done anything else?"

Xie Yiyan felt as if she saw the queen roll her eyes.

"No, it's just that after hearing what my mother said, I'm a little worried that my mother will fall into that person's trick."

"A trick?" The Eldest Princess laughed again, this time to thank Yiyan's youth and ignorance: "It's normal if you don't understand, everyone in the court knows that I am on good terms with Feng'er, so if you want to move her, you have to look at it." Look at my face, Crown Princess, do you know that there is a royal guard outside the city of Yejing? In name, it patrols the imperial city, but in fact it was left by your grandpa to keep your aunt alive. That army was secretly guarded by your grandpa I trained and only listened to my orders. When I was alive, they protected me well. If I died, they would avenge me. Whoever dares to touch my Feng'er, I will kill them all!"

Hearing this, Xie Yiyan was even more horrified, first the royal Zhu Yiwei, and now there are soldiers and horses, the grandpa of the emperor is fully prepared, even if the eldest princess rebels, he can make it happen, right?

"Not to mention Feng'er's father and brother's contribution to our Great Xia's opening up the land and guarding the frontier, dare to touch her? The people of the world agree, and the old general's old department can't agree, let alone, now Pei Zhao's father and brother, in the past It's under the old general's seat, don't say that I, Feng'er, are so kind, she is a poisonous woman, and no one can touch her!"

"Who are you calling a poisonous woman?" The queen glanced at her coolly: "Being more and more presumptuous, I can't even speak in front of the junior."

The Eldest Princess smiled: "For example, don't be angry. I see that the Crown Princess is not as smart as Feng'er you said, and I'm afraid she won't understand."

"So you see, no one dares to act presumptuously in front of the queen in this inner palace. Even if the emperor comes, he has to be polite. If he hadn't married Feng'er as the queen, would it be his turn to be the emperor? ?” The eldest princess sneered, and then said no more: “Drink tea, my tea is so good, I can’t be discouraged because of these people.”

Xie Yiyan stopped talking, he had something on his mind, went back to his room after drinking tea, sat there for a while, but still couldn't sit still, then quietly ran to find the Eldest Princess.

After waiting for a while, the eldest princess came back, and when she saw him coming, she joked: "Why, do you still want to drink tea? You are rich, next time Feng'er wants to drink tea, I will call you again."

"Auntie, I have something I want to ask my aunt." Xie Yiyan hurried over, turned around and then whispered: "Some things have been in my heart for a long time, but I just don't have the chance to ask them. Auntie must know. Please help me Tell me what you can tell me, and I'll feel more at ease."

"You want to ask about Jing'er's legs." The eldest princess waved her hand, telling Xie Yiyan to sit a little further away: "I saw you with a strange expression today, and you looked absent-minded. It seems that it is indeed for this matter."

"Crown princess, you have lived in the palace for a while, but if you have any insights, let's hear it."

Xie Yiyan replied truthfully: "It looks calm on the surface, but inside it is turbulent. Everyone is wearing a false mask, and they can stab the knife if they tell their sisters to turn around."

"That's right, at least I can see something. It's not in vain for me and Feng Er to waste time with you." The eldest princess nodded, and then took another look at Xie Yiyan: "You really want to know? Why?"

"Why?" Xie Yiyan answered naturally, "I just want to know."

"Then why didn't you ask him, instead you asked me?"

Xie Yiyan: "This is a sad thing, it's the prince's scar, I can't poke his scar, but I want to know the ins and outs, what happened, he is the prince, is someone trying to kill him?"

"It's just because she's the crown prince and the state reserve, that's why this kind of thing happened." The eldest princess sighed, pressing her forehead, she seemed to be extremely tired, looking at her figure, she seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden.

"You are the princess, so it's okay to tell you." The eldest princess warned: "But you are not allowed to tell Feng'er in front of Feng'er in the future. If you let me know, you will tear your mouth."

She was fierce as hell, Xie Yiyan only knew that the Eldest Princess was not easy to mess with, but she had always been kind to him, this was the first time, Xie Yiyan had no doubt that she would really tear her own mouth.

"It was the third day of April [-]th, and the winter was extremely cold that year, and a thick layer of ice formed on Weiyang Lake." The voice of the eldest princess was a bit vicissitudes: "It is also the fifth anniversary of the old general. People went to Huangjue Temple to offer incense to the old general and pray for blessings. In the past, Jinger also went there, but it was too cold that year. Fenger was afraid that it would be colder on the mountain and the child could not stand it, so he left him in the palace. Here, if she had known what happened later, she would definitely not have left Jing'er for half a step, and I was too late."

The empress left the palace, and the one who was in charge temporarily was Su Yu, the most favored concubine at that time. Su Guifei usually had some conflicts with the empress, but because the empress was powerful in the previous dynasty, she couldn't do anything about it. She relied on the emperor's favor to survive. He had a son who was half a year younger than the crown prince, and he was overwhelmed everywhere.

She wanted to bring down the queen, but she didn't have the ability, so she set her mind on the prince.

"If the crown prince is gone, in terms of elders, it will be her son, who is also the current King Heng." The elder princess's eyes were frosty: "It is an idea to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. It is ridiculous that the emperor acquiesced."

"She killed the prince?!"

Xie Yiyan immediately thought that Concubine Su Gui was said to have been thrown into the cold palace after the crown prince was born, and then died in the cold palace. The second prince helped his mother's coffin back home and never came back since then.

"Who knows, there is no evidence." The eldest princess was a little melancholy: "She left it too clean, with the right time, place and people, without any evidence, but she ruined my scene, so what if there is no evidence? I still want her life!"

Xie Yiyan listened to the eldest princess's words, thinking about the scene at that time in her mind, the little prince braved the wind and snow to pay his respects to his father, because the imperial concubine wanted to enjoy the red plums in the snow, so she had to be filial to His Highness. I went to the bank of Weiyang Lake where the red plum blossoms are the best, but slipped into the lake.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. The ice on Weiyang Lake is very thick every year. It's no problem for the palace people to play and play on it. It was even colder that year, and the ice was naturally thicker. Why did he fall into it as a child?"

There was hatred in the eldest princess's eyes: "Afterwards, I checked the people around the prince, and there was a servant who disappeared without a trace for no reason. If he made a fortune, he would have disappeared long ago.”

"Do you know, what is my only evidence?" The eldest princess smiled and pressed the corners of her eyes, Xie Yiyan saw that her eyes were red: "A belt, that servant has an affair with Su Yu's slut's maid! Feng'er is careful with children and knows all the dirty things in the palace. She has put a lot of effort into Jing'er's body. Even the clothes of the palace servants are uniformly equipped and embroidered with dark patterns of names, which is originally for them. Favor, hehe."

"Weiyang Lake is so deep and so cold, and it's still snowing heavily outside. I was worried that Jing'er hadn't recovered from typhoid fever, and his mother was not in the palace. I was afraid that the people below would not do their best, so I wanted to come and see him. But who knows, who knows... "The eldest princess waved her hand and shook off the teacup on the table: "Everyone fell, that bitch Su Yu dared to delay me, if I hadn't gone, she would have buried me at the bottom of the lake!" "

"When the child was rescued, his face was livid and he couldn't breathe. I thought, I thought he was dead. If he died, wouldn't Feng'er's life be taken away as well?"

"Guess what I did?" Xie Yiyan looked at the eldest princess with a sinister smile: "I drew the guard's sword and put it on the emperor's neck. I told him that if Jing'er died, he would Don’t even think about living, don’t they all say that I want to rebel? After thinking about it for so many years, so what if I just made it?”

"He is afraid of me, haha, he is afraid of my natural good life, and he is afraid that I want soldiers and people." The eldest princess smiled, but tears kept streaming down: "I want soldiers and soldiers, people and people." , but can't protect her Jing'er, it's really ridiculous."

"Fate was picked up, but the water in Weiyang Lake was too cold, which delayed the time and frostbitten the child's tendons, heart and lungs. He could no longer stand up after the damage to the heart and lungs. After the heart and lungs were damaged, his health became worse and he often coughed. , My leg hurts when it rains on a cloudy day." The eldest princess took it easy for a while: "After that, something went wrong, and I have been raising it for all these years, but it has not healed."

"As for that bitch Su Yu, no matter how domineering I am, I can't kill her whole family with just one belt, so I gave her a belt, and his son is also deposed by me. Even if I, Jinger, don't want the throne, it won't be his turn. !"

Xie Yiyan felt that he seemed to understand something, but also didn't seem to understand. He was straightforward, and said whatever he thought: "Since my aunt has soldiers and others, why didn't she replace her at the beginning?"

He really doesn't understand, the eldest princess and the queen have a good relationship, and anyone with long eyes can tell that if the eldest princess takes her place, then Xiao Jing may not suffer this catastrophe, be victimized by the harem conspiracy, and will not suffer This bitter man will grow into a handsome young man from Yushu Lanzhi, and the smile on his face will be brighter.

"Replace it?" The eldest princess glanced at him, a little helpless: "You really dare to say, I now understand why Jing'er sent you into the palace."

"How can you say such a rebellious thing? You just think, just think about it, how can you say it?"

"Naturally dare to speak in front of my aunt."

"Okay." The Eldest Princess beckoned Xie Yiyan to go over: "I haven't even said that to Feng'er, if you ask, I'll tell you."

"You must have heard the rumors in the court, saying that the father wants to abolish the prince at that time and make me the eldest daughter of the emperor. In fact, there is no such thing. The father has no such plan. The heir to the throne favored by his elderly family is the youngest grandson, three years old. Look at the old man, Jing'er was a good kid when he was young, and he will definitely be able to stand up to the world of Daxia in the future." The eldest princess flatly narrated the past: "Of course I won't touch Jing'er's father, I am indeed favored, but Father didn't intend to give me that position, and I didn't have that ambition. It was only after rumors spread that Father favored me so much that it was too late to save me. He knew that if he passed away, I would suffer disaster, so he prepared it for me. Some manpower and horses have been recruited."

"It's enough to make people afraid. When Jing'er becomes an adult, I can help him ascend to the throne, and then I will retire." The eldest princess's finger slowly slid across the rim of the cup: "You ask me why I didn't replace him?" , if I do this, I will disobey my father and be unfilial."

"Also, I can't leave Feng'er alone. If I do that, where will I put Feng'er? Where will I put the prince? He was originally a legitimate prince, but suddenly I came to usurp the throne. To discredit the two of them, I think I will endure it for a few years, and when the scene grows bigger and can support the world, I will help him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"But who would have expected that there would be such a big accident in the middle." The eldest princess squeezed the cup tightly: "I failed to protect their mother and child."

"Princess, remember, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's easy to ward off a hidden arrow, but it's fine, you go back, I'm tired."

Xie Yiyan looked at the tired-looking eldest princess, and slowed down her tone: "Auntie, I don't blame you, and I don't blame the queen mother either. Your Highness's leg can be cured, and it will be done!"

"You little girl, no wonder Jing'er is protecting you, that's all right, you are only a few years old and still want to comfort me, I am half buried in the ground, how can I use you to comfort me." The eldest princess warned him: "Just a little, no In front of Feng'er."

"Otherwise I'll tear your mouth off!"

Xie Yiyan immediately covered her mouth: "Don't even mention it!"

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction: "Good."
