"I am getting further and further away from that position. I am afraid that I am weak-minded. Zhou Mu has the favor of his father and is the eldest son. The position of crown prince will not fall into my hands under any circumstances." Zhou Xing
He has never been at a loss: "Zhou Mu can get the position I want without any effort, make Xi Yan fall in love with him without any effort, and everything I care about has been taken away by him."
Without Zhou Mu, he still felt that taking the throne would be like taking something out of a bag, but now he knows that it is too difficult.
"Everything depends on human factors. You don't know who will win until the last moment. Even if Zhou Mu is really allowed to win the position of crown prince, His Highness can still find a way to pull him down!" Zhao De has never seen his master look so decadent.
Feeling sad.
Zhou Xing waved his hand: "Step back and let me be alone."
Zhao De turned around silently and exited the room.
Thinking that His Highness has been getting wind and rain in recent years, and when Zhou Mu came, His Highness became like this, how could he not feel uncomfortable?
On the other side, Wanqinghou Mansion.
Liu Chaoyan did not dare to take a step outside Fenghe Hall.
She was afraid of seeing the strange looks in her servants' eyes when they looked at her, and she was even more afraid that Zhou Xing would suddenly break off the engagement and make her the laughing stock of the whole city.
It all happened so fast that she was caught off guard.
She never thought that it was the Li family who killed the eldest Gu family. Why was the matter exposed by the Li family at this juncture?
Why didn't you wait until she became the Princess of Qin before exposing this matter? Then it was a foregone conclusion. When she became the Princess of Qin, who would dare to say anything wrong with her?
Liu Chaoyan was sitting uneasily in this room, but Gu Xiyan felt that the Marquis of Fire was almost done, so she went to see the old lady at Zaohui Hall.
The old lady looked at Gu Xiyan who was kneeling in front of her, saw her crying silently, and wanted to help her up, but she avoided it: "Please grandma give my mother justice and punish Mrs. Li!"
The old lady was a little embarrassed, she was only worried that Mrs. Li would not be able to survive before Sister Chao married into Prince Qin's palace, and she would die.
"Ms. Li is now in decline, and my grandmother is afraid that she won't be able to withstand the hardship..."
"Do evildoers still want her to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth?! My mother died in an unknown manner. If Mrs. Li hadn't said it herself, who would have known that my mother died at the hands of this vicious woman? I know what my grandmother cares about.
, I’m just afraid that something bad will happen to Mr. Li before my second sister gets married. I don’t want Ms. Li’s life, but I just want her to have a taste of being relegated to the cold palace. Isn’t that too much?” Gu Xi
Yan interrupted the old lady, her eyes red.
When the old lady heard what Gu Xiyan said, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Good boy, grandma will definitely make the decision for you and your mother. Don't worry, grandma will imprison Mrs. Li in Siguo Yuan, and she will never be released again in this life!"
”
Gu Xiyan's eyes filled with tears: "I would like to thank my grandmother on behalf of my mother."
The old lady stepped forward and took Gu Xiyan's hand, her voice hoarse: "Good boy, it's the Liu family who can't stand your mother, and they can't stand you."
Back then, she also believed the Taoist priest's nonsense and almost rushed Sister Xi out of the Hou Mansion, which almost led to regret.
Gu Xiyan lowered her eyes and took away the sharpness in her eyes.
It is indeed the Liu family who felt sorry for their mother. If her mother had not met Liu Shuzheng, a heartless man, how could her mother have died so unjustly?
When Liu Chaoyan learned that Mrs. Li was going to be imprisoned and sentenced to prison, his expression was blank.
She suddenly felt that this was okay. After a while, no one would remember Li Shi anymore, and the incident of Li Shi killing Gu Shi would also be forgotten with the passage of time.
When she has been Princess Qin for a long time, the world will also forget that her biological mother is Li.
When the weak Mrs. Li was dragged out of bed, she cried out repeatedly. She pulled the corner of Liu Chaoyan's skirt and said, "Chaoyan, your grandmother has always loved you. If you go to the old lady to beg for mercy, the old lady will change her mind..."<
/p>
She obviously slept deeply last night, so why did everyone say that she went crazy in the middle of the night and said that she caused the death of the great Gu family. There was something fishy about this matter, and she had to find a way to find out.
Liu Chaoyan pulled open the hem of her skirt and said with a steady gaze: "Mom has done something wrong and should be punished. Grandma has shown mercy. You can go to Siguo Yuan and take good care of yourself."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t come out again in the future, the world will always forget all this.
Mrs. Li instantly understood what Liu Chaoyan meant, and her face suddenly changed: "Liu Chaoyan, I do everything for you! If I hadn't found a way to gain power and capture your father's heart, you would be just a concubine with no status.
.I have sacrificed everything for you, but you can even abandon your own mother..."
"Mama Yi, cover my mother's mouth and take her to Siguo Yuan." Liu Chaoyan said impatiently.
As expected, Mother Yi covered Mrs. Li's mouth. Mrs. Li struggled desperately in her hands, but in the end she couldn't get out of Mother Yi's control.
Her eyes were red and she looked at Liu Chaoyan fiercely.
This is the good daughter she gave birth to. She hates that she can even abandon her own mother!
Why did her beloved husband and the daughters she had loved for so many years betray her one by one? She loved their father and daughter so much and devoted half her life to them. Look what she got?!
She was so angry that she vomited out a large mouthful of blood and passed out in the hands of Yi's mother.
Mother Yi dragged Mrs. Li to Siguo Courtyard with a dull expression.
It's night, thinking about the courtyard.
Siguoyuan is located in the most remote corner of Wanqinghou Mansion. It is a deserted place with no one coming or going all year round. It has long been covered with spider webs and no one has lived here for more than ten years.
After Mrs. Yi threw Mrs. Li into Siguo Yard, she guarded the yard and allowed Mrs. Li to fend for herself.
When Gu Xiyan and Hu Die arrived, Yi's mother immediately came forward and said, "Big girl."
"You have done a good job. Your son and his family are all well. As long as you obey, I will not touch them. I will not blame them for the sins you have committed." Gu Xiyan opened her lips indifferently.
Mother Yi knelt down weakly on the ground, with tears streaming down her face: "Thank you, Miss, for showing mercy. It is a fact that I was stained with Madam's blood back then. When Mrs. Li left, I followed her. Only my son didn't know.
I hope the girl will be merciful, and all the sins will be punished on the old slave."
"When the time comes, I will let them go." Gu Xiyan passed by Yi's mother and saw the dying Li in the dilapidated east wing.
Mrs. Li had already heard Gu Xiyan's voice, but she was so weak that she couldn't move.
Thinking back on everything that had happened in the past few days, she finally figured out that Gu Xiyan was behind it all that she ended up in this situation.
Only Mother Yi, the closest person to her, could leave her undefended and harm her to this point.
She just didn't know when she had revealed her secret, and why Gu Xiyan knew that she had killed the eldest Gu family. She clearly did this without knowing it. Apart from her and Mother Yi, there would be no other person.
Three people know.
Could it be that Yi’s mother has already betrayed her?
