"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If I hadn't destroyed the agency, these things wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault..."
Xiyan blamed herself. She shouldn't have touched those things because of her curiosity, causing him to live in dire straits again.
Seeing Miss Xiyan's sad look, Bei Mingchen felt very uncomfortable.
She can't be entirely blamed for this incident, after all, she did it unintentionally. Moreover, she is so innocent, she is also a victim.
"Girl, there is no need to wade into this muddy water. The girl is a smart person. She should have seen that the person who poisoned the person behind the scenes had a strong purpose. He knew that the king would definitely eat the plate of bitter melon on the table when he ate, so
Only the plate of bitter melon was poisoned. And the targets of his darts are also very clear, they are all aimed at me."
Bei Mingchen gently touched Xiyan's cheek and said distressedly. If Xiyan didn't take the initiative to stand up for what happened today, she would never be hurt.
"My lord, don't worry, my daughter is fine. Besides, these things are all caused by me."
Su Ningqing looked at Bei Mingchen, and she felt that her heart was full of courage at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I want to protect you, no matter the wind or rain. No matter how difficult it is, I will not be afraid. I will definitely protect you." Su Ningqing took a breath and mustered up the courage to say those words to Bei Mingchen.
The words that have been on her mind for a long time.
Bei Mingchen looked at Xi Yan's serious look, a warm current surged through his heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently.
Ever since he was a few years old, he has had to shoulder a heavy burden, many things need to be handled by him personally, and many people need his protection.
Just because he is the prince, he must be cautious in every step, and think twice about every decision. All these are his responsibilities. No one has ever asked him if he is willing or tired. Except Shuojin.
No one outside said anything about protecting him.
"Since the girl is willing to stay, I can't say anything else. But girl, when you want to protect others in the future, you should protect yourself first!" Bei Mingchen said to her with a slight smile, his face
Showing tenderness.
"Okay, my lord, my daughter obeys your orders."
Suningqing was very happy when she heard that Bei Mingchen no longer wanted to drive her away or say guilty words. She said to him playfully.
"Girl, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me in the future. You can just call me Young Master Chen like you did before."
"yes."
Su Ningqing hesitated for a moment and then asked curiously: "But, why do these people want to harm you?"
Su Ningqing was still very curious about this question. According to Bei Mingchen, there was a group of people who had always wanted to kill him, but who were that group of people?
Bei Mingchen turned around and looked at Su Ningqing's eager eyes, but hesitated several times.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, young master, forget it. It's all my fault. I shouldn't ask these things."
When Su Ningqing saw that he was so sad, she regretted and blamed herself. Why did she ask those things? Wasn't this poking at his sore spot?
"No problem, I am willing to talk to you about these things."
Bei Mingchen smiled softly and said to Xiyan.
"Let's go, I will take you to a place."
After saying that, he took her hand and took her to the highest building of the palace. From there, she could see the whole view of the palace and the prosperous scene of the capital.
Except for Shuo Jin and a few of his secret guards, he had never brought anyone else to this place, but Miss Xiyan was different.
He covered Miss Xiyan's eyes and took her there mysteriously.
"Are you here?" Xiyan asked him curiously.
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
…
"Okay, open your eyes!"
"Wow! So beautiful."
Xiyan opened her eyes and felt her eyes light up. This was the most beautiful bustling scene she had seen in so long. Standing on the high-rise building, she had a panoramic view of the beauty of the capital. The night view of the capital was far better than what she had seen before.
any city of.
"Looks wonderful, doesn't it?"
"Yeah." Xiyan nodded repeatedly.
At this time, she was only concentrating on admiring the beautiful scenery. It felt really good to overlook everything. However, she did not notice the gradual change in Bei Mingchen's expression.
"But behind these beautiful things, there are many dirty things hidden." Bei Mingchen said coldly.
Xiyan was suddenly startled when she heard this. She looked at him quietly. Although he was looking at the distant scenery like her, there was no trace of joy in his eyes. It was nothing like the one when he went out to play with her.
of Yunyi.
On the contrary, there was no life in his eyes and they were as calm as water, as if he was a dead person.
He can indeed be regarded as a dead person. He is dead, but he is not dead either.
As for Bei Mingchen, looking at these beautiful scenes only whips him over and over again, reminding him not to forget those painful scars.
Reminding him to never forget hatred.
"Do you want to know my past? Do you want to know how my mother-in-law died?" Bei Mingchen looked into the distance and asked calmly.
Xiyan nodded.
Simply, Bei Mingchen told her about his own experiences, those experiences that were buried deep in his memory.
His mother was the favorite concubine of the dynasty, Concubine Lan. His father loved her very much, and she also loved his father very much. She had no other extravagant aspirations, she just hoped that she could spend her life in peace in the palace.
She grew old hand in hand with the one she loved, and that was it. She thought that as long as two people truly loved each other, they would be able to overcome all the hardships.
However, his mother and concubine never expected that those so-called true feelings would not be able to withstand the intrigues in the harem, especially the ruthless emperor's family. An accident happened, and his mother and concubine eventually became the victim of this fight.
Concubine Lan is really stupid for believing in the love of an emperor.
The cause of this accident was that Concubine Lan had the flesh and blood of her and Bei Mingshuo, that is, them.
After learning that Concubine Lan was pregnant, some people finally couldn't wait any longer. They were afraid that the existence of the child would affect the decision on the crown prince's position in the future, so people with evil intentions started to kill Bei Mingchen before they were born.
He did something to Concubine Lan.
They secretly poisoned the anti-fetal medicine that Concubine Lan drank every day, hoping to make Concubine Lan stillborn.
However, things did not develop as they expected. At least, Bei Mingchen survived safely.
After they failed once, they were very unwilling. From then on, they began to intensify their harm to them. They wrote letters in the court, found many people in the harem, and kept talking and talking.
Bad words about Concubine Lan.
Bei Mingshuo didn't believe these at first, but after hearing these rumors more and more, he gradually began to believe them. He actually believed that Concubine Lan had evil intentions and intended to rebel.
In the end, he found an unfounded crime and wanted to kill her.
Those people not only killed Bei Mingchen's mother-in-law, but they also didn't let him go. He was only ten years old at that time, but they wanted to kill him too.
However, things went against expectations and Bei Mingchen survived in the end. However, those people did not give up. They found a reason to let the prince live outside the palace, keeping him away from the affairs of the court and the position of the prince.
Even so, those people were still worried about Bei Mingchen and were always on guard against him.
However, after escaping from death, Bei Mingchen realized a lot.
He understood that he was helpless in the harem and had no one to support him in the previous dynasty. If he wanted to find out the truth of the past and avenge his mother and concubine, he must first survive well.
Even if he is barely alive, he must live!
Over the years, he has been pretending to be a stubborn kid, doing nothing all day long to numb those people. In fact, he is hiding his capabilities and biding his time, waiting for a suitable opportunity.
The villains have seen that his strength has increased greatly in recent days, and they can no longer hold back and want to take action. I am afraid that what happened today is just the beginning.
…………
Su Ningqing looked at him silently and listened to him talk about the past.
It turned out that Bei Mingchen also had such a painful experience. Although he was a prince of a country, he had never enjoyed princely treatment. What was even sadder was that he had not had the love of his parents since he was a child.
His life experience is truly incomparable to that of an ordinary family.
No wonder, no wonder Su Ningqing always looked at him with such cold eyes. Although he was only in his twenties, there was a hint of maturity in his eyes. It turned out that he was burdened with so much.
At this moment, Su Ningqing suddenly realized that the battle above the court was more tragic than the battle in the arena. Compared with the open guns in the arena, the hidden arrows in the battle in the court were really hard to guard against.
Young Master Chen, don't worry, since that is your biggest pain point, I will definitely help you heal this scar. Su Ningqing swore secretly in her heart.
"Prince, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice for your mother and concubine." Su Ningqing comforted him carefully.
"I must make them pay a corresponding price. I must make them pay with blood. Those who have hurt me, and those who have hurt my mother and concubine, all deserve to die." Bei Mingchen ignored Su Ningqing, and
As he continued to speak, his tone became more and more harsh.
The reason why I have been hiding for so many years is not because of cowardice, but because I am accumulating strength. Being indifferent to the world does not mean that I am weak and incompetent.
The more Bei Mingchen talked, the more excited he became. At this moment, his hands were tightly holding the handrail there, as if he wanted to crush those things, and his eyes were looking into the distance.
There seemed to be fire burning in his eyes.
Sun Ningqing gently held his hand, trying to calm his emotions as much as possible.
"Yes, yes, evil people will be punished." She said firmly.
