The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl

But Siyao, I seem to understand now why you insisted on dying...

He knew that Xu Siyao didn't like him, never liked him, but later Xu Siyao became pregnant with his flesh and blood, and she endured such a hard pregnancy, without a single complaint, maybe... even if it was for the child in her womb, She is also willing to accept him, and is willing to live a good life with him, but... his suspicion from the very beginning, his cold eyes after he listened to Lu Guinian's slander, his nightly singing, and the poisonous woman in the harem... He poked Xu Siyao so many wind knives and frost swords in places he couldn't see, all of which made Xu Siyao's joy of being a new mother disappear little by little. In the end, after she gave birth to Ming Wei desperately, he said he didn't care about her After the gift of injustice in the past, Xu Siyao finally had no reason to live anymore.

Zhong Zhiheng didn't know how bitter that glass of poisoned wine was at that time, but now he seemed to know it.

Siyao, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you and Mingwei! Siyao, don't... don't go...

Zhong Zhiheng sobbed in pain, letting his tears run down to the extreme, and he didn't care about it, his red and swollen eyes just stared at the corner of the wall without blinking, watching Xu Siyao become more and more blurred, and finally turned into a wisp of blue smoke disappeared without a trace.

Siyao!

Zhong Zhiheng died of dizziness holding his hands.

...

That night.

Princess Zou of Hui County hanged herself.

The first day of March in the thirty-fourth year of Jiasheng

Concubine Shu Cui died suddenly in Zhongcui Palace. Because it was the time of the Empress Dowager's funeral, it was not appropriate to hold a big funeral for Concubine Shu. After three days of inactivity, she was buried hastily.

Concubine Shu’s burial had not yet passed March 7th, and the former Minister of Criminal Affairs Yan Laoshangshu, who had originally returned to his hometown, reported the crimes of violence, cruelty and private use of punishments to the current Minister of Criminal Affairs, Zou Shijie. In early April, Zou Shijie was deposed and his family was exiled to Lingnan. During the investigation of the case, Fang Zhonglian discovered that the Zou family and the Cui family had secretly colluded and committed many dirty things over the years. The report was submitted to Lord Longevity. In order to take into account King Hui's face, Lord Longevity did not severely punish Cui's family, but released Cui Youan from the capital, demoted him to Ganzhou, and made him a fourth-rank prefect of Ganzhou. On the day the imperial decree was issued, Cui Youan As soon as he was born, he dragged his family out of the capital.

In just twenty days, Concubine Shu died, Concubine Huijun hanged herself to death, Zou's family collapsed, and Cui's family was afraid that it would be difficult to make a comeback. King Huijun was completely hopeless.

Jiasheng Thirty-fourth April Twelfth

capital.

An Junwang and his wife arrived in Beijing.

This is not Zhong Mingwei's first time entering the palace, nor is it Meiya's first time entering the palace, but the mood at this moment is completely different from before.

The carriage moved forward slowly, Meiya and Zhong Mingwei sat side by side in the carriage, the two of them were speechless all the way, and they didn't know what they were thinking, the heavy traffic outside made the tranquility inside the carriage even more apparent.

Candied haws! Candied haws with big red fruits!

Suddenly, there was a melodious cry from outside, Meiya was taken aback, then reached out her hand in a hurry and opened the curtains, her eyes wandered around the busy street, and finally fell on a little brother selling candied haws, and then I can't move my eyes.

What's the matter? Zhong Mingwei watched her leaning over to look out, and also came over, What are you looking at?

Zhong Mingwei, on the day I left Beijing, there happened to be a seller of candied haws on the side of the road. That's what he was selling at the time. It made me so hungry. Meiya still stared at the little candied haws seller. Brother, while sucking his saliva, he said, What should I do? I really want to eat now.

Well, when you come out of the palace, I'll ask Pang Yi to buy candied haws for you, Zhong Mingwei said softly, and while stretching out his hand to put down the curtains, he said, It's windy outside, so be careful not to blow the cold wind.
