The young Xie Zhuohua still remembers that when the imperial edict arrived at the Xie family, the angel who announced the edict was sent away. The Xie family was silent and there was no smile at all.
In fact, the current Holy Emperor married the principal concubine long before he ascended the throne, so logically he should make the principal concubine the queen.
Unfortunately, everything changed with this edict. The principal concubine at that time was the eldest sister of the current Concubine Lu. In the end, because of the entry of the Xie family daughter into the palace, she retired from the queen position and became the concubine, and was named Chen Concubine.
Concubine Chen was pregnant at that time, and she was greatly affected by this incident, and her mood remained unstable during the pregnancy.
Five months later, the prince was born with difficulty. Unfortunately, the prince was born weak and died before he was one year old under careful care. Concubine Chen, whose physical condition had deteriorated after childbirth, also died.
The queen's position was taken away, and a prince who was supposed to be the prince was accompanied by him. How could the Lu family be willing to do so!
During that time, the current Empress Xie was particularly suffering in the palace. The forces of the Lu family were targeting her at every turn, and the emperor was also indifferent to her.
In the end, the young Queen Xie was almost forced to have no choice but to go. Fortunately, the Xie family continued to put pressure on the Lu family in the court through their official influence, and Mrs. Shen returned to Beijing in person.
The Lu family reluctantly stopped, and Queen Xie lost her fertility in this revenge.
The Lu family also sent Concubine Chen's younger sister, the current concubine Lu, into the palace.
Xie Zhuohua spoke to Shen Xingwan about these palace secrets in a low voice with a dark face.
Firstly, it was because Shen Xingwan was about to become her real cousins, and secondly, she was feeling panicked because of their recent attitude.
"Xingwan, you know, when I knew my thigh couldn't be healed, my first reaction instead of being sad was that I don't have to be a princess now." Xie Zhuohua laughed at himself, "The Xie family has produced two queens, one died and the other died.
If you lose the qualifications to be a mother, the palace is a terrible place."
Although when she came to her, the Xie family learned a lesson, and their energy and investment in raising her since she was young was no less than that of her boyfriend. They just hope that she can be better and more powerful, and not repeat the previous tragedy.
"I have known since I was a child that my battlefield is in that prosperous and magnificent palace, and I have always felt that I was ready." Xie Zhuohua's eyes revealed some sadness, "But the moment I saw the prince, I was disappointed.
Unwillingly."
Does she really want to spend her life with those people? She feels lifeless when she thinks about facing such people in the long palace.
"Although I originally fought for my responsibility and my family, I suddenly felt that I couldn't bear to spend my life in a gorgeous cage."
Xie Zhuohua rested his head on Shen Xingwan's shoulder, showing his vulnerable side.
She didn't dare to tell anyone in her family this. Outsiders thought that the Xie family was soaring, but she knew clearly that the Xie family had retreated and retreated over the years, walking on thin ice. She was afraid of letting them down.
Shen Xingwan understood her feelings and comforted her softly, "Fortunately, the prince has been abolished, and my sister has a chance to make a new choice."
"Although it is difficult, I hope my sister will have no regrets this time."
The little sisters talked privately in a warm atmosphere, and Fu Jingchao and Fu Siye finally came out of Mr. Xie's study.
It was already dark, and lanterns were hung along the road.
Fu Jingchao's whole body was tense, and his face was cold and stiff.
Fu Siye sighed, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
Fu Jingchao looked at him, and many memories came to his face.
The first sentence he learned was brother, the first step he took was towards Fu Siye, and the first word he wrote was taught by Fu Siye...
When he was bullied as a child, it was Fu Siye who helped him fight back. When he was sick, it was Fu Siye who stayed with him in bed all night long...
He occupies such an important position in his life that even his kung fu was once commented on by someone as having the same demeanor as Fu Siye's back then.
Although King Zhennan is his father, in a sense, he was raised by Fu Siye, and he was sculpted bit by bit into the person he is now.
Fu Jingchao's eyes were dark and bright in the night, and he said a little stubbornly and willfully, "I don't want to ask, and I don't want to know. Anyway, you will always be my brother, and no one can change this."
Fu Siye suddenly hugged him and said, "No matter what happens, I will always be your brother."
Ever since he was ten years old, Fu Siye rarely hugged him like this.
The two came to Xie Zhuohua's room in silence, and Fu Siye asked Lou Ran in a low voice about the condition of Xie Zhuohua's injuries.
Shen Xingwan noticed at a glance that something was wrong with Fu Jingchao, and he looked as if someone owed him eight million.
Fu Jingchao noticed her gaze and waved to her, "Come here."
Shen Xingwan asked her with his eyes, "Why are you so crazy?"
Fu Jingchao just kept looking at her. Xie Zhuohua also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and pushed her, "I'm fine here. I've said everything I need to say. You go over and take a look."
Shen Xingwan stood up helplessly and walked to Fu Jingchao. Fu Jingchao said to her, "How about we go out together?"
"Okay, ancestor." Shen Xingwan looked into his wet dog eyes and said angrily.
The two of them walked out side by side, and Lou Ran also stepped back.
Fu Siye and Xie Zhuohua were the only two people left in the room.
Fu Siye stood at the door with his backlight on, looking at Xie Zhuohua calmly and calmly.
"When will General Fu leave?" Xie Zhuohua asked first.
"It's almost time, just these two days." Fu Siye said.
Xie Zhuohua said seriously, "Then I wish the general a safe journey and hope he returns safely."
Fu Siye couldn't tell for a moment whether Xie Zhuohua knew about that incident.
Mr. Xie talked a lot today. At the end, Mr. Xie asked him, "What do you think of my granddaughter Hua Zhuo?"
How did Fu Siye answer?
He said that Miss Xie, who was famous all over Jiangnan, was naturally excellent.
Mr. Xie Lan is not talking about anything else, everything is still undecided.
Xie Zhuohua's foot injury doesn't know when it will heal. The Zhennan Palace doesn't know how long it will last. Shengjing is in chaos and doesn't know what the final result will be.
But Mr. Xie, it is thought-provoking to ask such a question at such a moment.
Under the bright candlelight, the two looked at each other without speaking to anyone.
It wasn't until Xie Fengyuan walked in that the silence in the room was broken.
Xie Fengyuan said hesitantly, "The envoys sent by the emperor are about to arrive in Jiangnan, and Imperial Concubine Lu has sent a female official to accompany them."
Xie Zhuohua sneered, "You're here to check if I'm really seriously injured. I'm afraid I'm just trying to avoid it."
This is because she has not given up on her. Even though the prince has been deposed, there is no chance that Concubine Lu Huang will start to make other plans again.
Fu Siye answered, "It's getting late, so we'll leave first."
"Thank you for your speedy recovery."
Xie Zhuohua watched Fu Siye's back disappear into the night with a complicated expression.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Fengyuan asked.
Xie Zhuohua said softly, "Do you think he will return safely?"
