Secretary Song stood outside the shadow of the candlelight, his expression flickering in and out, a bit mysterious.
"Actually, after all, you didn't do anything wrong. You just fell in love with someone who will never like you and lost everything for him."
The queen bowed her head on the futon and cried heartbrokenly.
"So, I return the red lotus to you." Secretary Song said softly, "Because you and I are both the same person."
After saying that, Secretary Song turned around and wanted to leave. Honglian also wanted to leave with him, but he said: "Honglian, you stay, she is your mother."
"I don't know her." Honglian's voice was as small as a mosquito buzzing.
"You have been away from her since you were a child, so naturally you don't know her, but you will gradually become familiar with her. Remember what I taught you."
Honglian nodded and watched his back disappear, then turned around and looked at the Queen crying without saying a word.
"Queen, please don't be sad." The old nanny who was waiting here also advised with tears in her eyes.
The queen's shoulders twitched slightly, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Honglian's face.
God, is such a face a punishment for her?
Honglian also looked at her silently, hesitated, and cautiously called out: "Mother."
The queen was slightly startled, then turned away unbearably and pretended not to hear.
No, that's not the case, her Yingye, her daughter is Yingye!
The child who fell under Xiao Chen Huan's knees and pleased her was clearly Ying Ye.
The old grandma couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this, but no one could imitate the mark of the crescent hairpin, and no one could erase this vivid evidence.
Back then, only Wenpo and Prince Zhanye knew that the princess was scalded. Now that Wenpo is dead, Prince Zhanye was too young to be in a hurry. Now only the crescent hairpin is the only evidence.
"Queen..."
"Go and invite the Crown Prince to come down!"
The old nanny knew that the queen had an idea, so she quickly got up and went out.
The queen slowly sat up, wiped away the tears on her face, adjusted her grief, and then looked at Honglian: "Your name is Honglian?"
Honglian slowly shook his head and said: "Honglian is just a title."
"Then what's your name?"
Honglian shook her head, she couldn't remember her name.
"Forget it, let's call it Honglian." The queen's attitude was a little cold. When she was choosing a name for Ying Ye, she thought about it for several nights and was very interested. But now, she can't summon up the slightest energy.
Is she old or...
Honglian nodded blankly and said, "The deceased Cao Yingye was the sister of Cao Yunxiong, Marquis of Huaibei, and the daughter of Cao Wan."
Cao Wan......
The queen vaguely remembered such a person. That year, there was a banquet in the palace during the Hundred Days of Cherry Blossom Night. Cao Yunxiong happened to be in the capital, so she brought Cao Wan into the palace. She was a dignified and elegant woman with bright eyes and good eyesight. She was a little sick and was not in good health.
However, Cao Wan liked Ying Ye very much and kept holding her and refused to let go, even crying silently.
"Look at me, today is Her Royal Highness the Princess's happy day, why am I crying?" I vaguely remember that when Ying Ye was taken away by the nurse, Cao Wan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and whispered.
Because Huaibei Hou was present, no one said anything. The wind was a bit strong that night and Cao Wan was not in good health, so he was sent back early and was never seen again.
Two years later, I heard that there was a funeral in the Huaibei Marquis Mansion.
