"Okay! I'll help you!" After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Xia finally nodded. If it was true as she said, she left the palace and Guo Wanrou was removed, then wouldn't the position of the principal wife belong to her.
"You're not helping me, you're helping yourself!" Leng Changxi raised her eyebrows and gave him a meaningful smile.
People, when helping others and when helping yourself, the effort you use is different.
Mrs. Xia took a breath, then showed a faint smile: "Yes, help myself."
At this moment, Xiaocui's voice sounded from outside the door: "Madam, Mr. Yuan seems to have returned early and is coming this way!"
Mrs. Xia was secretly shocked when she heard this and glanced at Leng Changxi hurriedly.
But Leng Changxi gave her a relieved smile: "Don't worry, no one knows about your visit!"
Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep look at Leng Changxi, and said, "I'll wait for your news." Then she quickly turned and left.
When Mrs. Xia walked away, Lingfeng and Li Xueyan walked out from behind the bed curtain.
Li Xueyan was always quick to talk, so she hurriedly walked up to Leng Changxi and asked, "Why are you helping her?"
Leng Changxi's eyes flashed, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly: "Xue Yan, I'm helping myself! To take revenge, sometimes you don't need to dye your sword red. There is such a saying,
Kill with a borrowed knife!"
Li Xueyan suddenly took a deep breath, understood what she meant, and became even more impressed by the woman in her heart.
At this time, there was a soft knock on the door. Zhao Yuan's voice came from outside the house: "Xiao Bao'er..." With a bit of hesitation and expectation, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Leng Changxi asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
"Tonight is New Year's Eve. I want you to watch the fireworks with me." Zhao Yuan's voice was filled with humility and pleading, which made people feel a little sad.
But no matter how humble Zhao Yuan was in front of Leng Changxi, he could not wash away his guilt in her heart. Leng Changxi's eyes looked at him, and there was a hint of hatred in the cold eyes, but he hid it cleverly.
.
Although her emotions were hidden, Li Xueyan could not contain her emotions. As soon as she heard Zhao Yuan's voice, she immediately thought of Chen Shaoxuan's wasted death.
A wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart. With grief and anger, Li Xueyan rushed to the door like an arrow from a string. He opened the door with all his strength, grabbed Zhao Yuan's clothes, and shouted angrily: "The surname is Zhao."
Yes, you killed my fifth senior brother, and now you still have the nerve to appear in front of my senior sister-in-law? You killed someone and took your wife, so you won’t die a good death! So what if you are a prince? I don’t believe it, God is blind and let you live free for the rest of your life!"
Zhao Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard her resentful and vicious curses. She grabbed the collar of his clothes, and a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He was about to reach out and push her away, but gave up when he saw Leng Changxi's figure in the corner of his eye.
Putting on a sad and aggrieved expression, she looked at Li Xueyan and said: "Miss Xueyan, I didn't know that such an accident would happen to your senior brother..."
"Accident? How dare you say it was an accident? Could it be that it was also an accident that my senior brother became a wanted criminal?" Li Xueyan laughed angrily and grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand a little tighter.
Leng Changxi watched coldly, but had no intention of stepping forward to stop her. In the end, Lingfeng was a little worried that something had happened to Li Xueyan and she would not be able to escape the blame, so he stepped forward, pulled her away, and dragged her into the house.
"Master Yuan, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Leng Changxi looked at Zhao Yuan with an alienated expression.
Zhao Yuan's heart ached fiercely, and she said humbly: "Little Bao'er, I just want to watch the fireworks with you."
"Watching the fireworks, I don't think it's necessary. There must be many women begging to accompany you to watch the fireworks. Why do you bother to stay with me, an unwilling person, looking for bad luck?" Leng Changxi said with a cold aura.
The red lips are all cool.
Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with sadness, his thin lips parted slightly, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "You, you know everything?"
Hearing this, Leng Changxi sneered and glanced at him lightly: "If you mean three wives and four concubines, I do know."
Zhao Yuan's figure suddenly trembled, and a complicated cold look flashed across his eyes: "Have they come to see you?"
Listening to Zhao Yuan's words, Leng Changxi's eyes flickered slightly and she sneered coldly: "It's not that I don't have ears, it's not that I can't hear people's words. If I have to wait for others to come to my door to find out some things, wouldn't that mean I have to be tortured alive?
Bullied to death?"
Leng Changxi made it clear in one sentence that she knew about this matter from others, and at the same time she seemed to mention something to Zhao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Zhao Yuan gently lowered his eyebrows and said with determination: "Little Bao'er, don't worry, no one will dare to bully you!"
Hearing this, Leng Changxi slowly lowered her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of light flashed through her eyes. Then, she slowly raised a stunning smile and looked up at Zhao Yuan: "Let's go!"
Zhao Yuan suddenly lost consciousness, and even his breathing was stagnant. He looked at Leng Changxi blankly, his mind was empty, and there was excitement in his heart: "Where are you going?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to watch the fireworks?" Leng Changxi glanced across his face indifferently, and then walked out of the bamboo house first.
Zhao Yuan was ecstatic, but still a little confused. When he regained his composure, he hurriedly followed.
The two of them did not leave the backyard, but picked a big stone next to Nianxi Lake and sat down.
Every year on New Year's Eve, the royal family will set off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Therefore, everyone from the royal family to the common people will gather together with their families to watch the fireworks.
This was the first New Year that Zhao Yuan had returned to the palace, but he pretended to be unwell early and left the family banquet. After returning to Wende Palace, he went straight to Leng Changxi's bamboo house, just to be with her.
Watch the fireworks.
Leng Changxi sat quietly next to Zhao Yuan without saying a word, but Zhao Yuan still felt satisfied. They had not sat together for a long time, so long that he felt that this scene seemed like a world away, which made him cherish it even more.
The lake wind was blowing coldly, but Leng Changxi didn't feel any chill at all, because her heart felt even colder.
Three quarters of an hour later, the sky was suddenly lit up by a flash of fire, and with a "boom" sound that resounded through the sky, the sky was suddenly rendered into a colorful appearance.
In ancient times when there were no neon lights, only on this day would the night sky be dyed with a layer of colorful colors, which would make people's hearts flutter when they look at it.
