Chapter 363: Ningsi Appearance

Chapter 363

He left the residence, no one knew where he went, and was gone for three days.

She had no choice but to enter the palace again. This time, she accidentally saw Concubine Wan and the commander of the Imperial Guards, Xia Zixi...

That day when she came out of the palace, she knew that she probably wouldn't live much longer...

She had no other extravagant hopes, she only wished to safely give birth to the child in her belly...

She began to live reclusively in the residence, feigning illness.

Zhao Hui seldom came back to see her. Occasionally when she was too afraid Concubine Wan would take action against her, and wanted to find him to help her, even if it wasn't to help her, just to let him do it for the sake of the child, and block Concubine Wan.

But as soon as she went to look for him, she saw him together with Cheng.

The sourness in her heart rushed up quickly, she stood not far away in a daze, she could only force down her helpless heart and walk back. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Her heart felt stifled, and was eventually replaced by fear.

Since Zhao Hui couldn't protect her, she went to find her elder martial brother.

Her elder martial brother wanted to bring her back to the Lin family, but Zhao Hui was unhappy about it. He refused to allow it, and flew into a violent rage. His eyes were as cold as ice as he dragged her back to the room, and ordered the servants to nail shut all the doors, not allowing her to leave.

She lived in the Prince's residence, anxious and afraid all day. Her face was haggard from crying. When she gave birth to Du, she heard that Zhao Hui had rushed back from Cheng's courtyard.

At that time, she was thinking that it would have been better if he hadn't returned.

This child was hers alone, and had nothing to do with him.

He stayed with her peacefully in the residence for a period of time after she had given birth. The two of them did not get along very well. Soon after her confinement period ended, Cheng became more and more unrestrained.

She repeatedly came to the door to provoke them, and spread all kinds of rumors. In Bianjing, she and the Lin family's reputation was completely ruined. Her father and mother sighed every day. Not long after, her mother passed away due to illness.

After her father finished organizing her mother's funeral affairs, he followed after her.

Her health was already poor to begin with. After hearing those words, and losing her parents, she became distressed. Her health deteriorated.

Sometimes she thought about directly divorcing Zhao Hui, but he dragged his feet and refused to divorce her. Instead he wanted to take her to the winter hunting event to distract her.

She thought that she was still too naive, and believed he would restrain himself to live peacefully with her.

Until at the Winter Hunting Party, she encountered Cheng disguised as Zhao Rou's maidservant, and saw Zhao Rou, and also saw Concubine Wan.

Standing on the Jixue Cliff, she was gradually driven to the edge by Cheng.

Gu Shuang also hurriedly stood up.

Mrs. Lin gratefully glanced at her. "Thank you, Ying'er."

Gu Ying chuckled lightly. "Mother, you and I are family. What's with the polite words?"

As she spoke, she went to instruct Yin Lan to come prepare the carriage.

She and Gu Shuang personally escorted Mrs. Lin to the palace gates, only letting down their guard after watching Mrs. Lin's carriage leave the palace under the protection of the Prince's guards.

The palace banquet had not yet started, so they could not leave yet.

After sending off Mrs. Lin, the two of them started to head back.

The long, wide imperial avenue seemed endless. The tall palace walls encircled this narrow piece of land.

Gu Shuang was still somewhat distracted. "Second sister..."

Gu Ying spoke solemnly, "Younger sister, pretend you never heard any of today's events, and absolutely do not speak of it to anyone, understand?"

Gu Shuang hurriedly covered her mouth. "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Gu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Today's revelations had too great an impact on her. After sending off Mrs. Lin, she could finally calm her heart to think back on her past life.

Concubine Wan did not meet a good end in the end. Xia Zixi and Li Yang's palace coup failed, and they died in the palace.

But how could this make up for the harm Mrs. Lin suffered?

Concubine Wan's actions harmed an innocent woman for life. She wanted to quietly turn the page?

Even if she agreed, she still had to ask if the Heir Apparent agreed!

She absolutely could not let Mrs. Lin be threatened by Concubine Wan again. No matter what, she had to strike first this time.

"Second sister, isn't that Elder Sister Ning over there!"

Gu Shuang's delighted voice pulled Gu Ying's thoughts back.

Gu Ying had made up her mind. Looking up to glance at the Imperial Gardens, she saw Ning Si dressed in splendid, wide palace attire. She looked emaciated, like a little white flower in the wind that could topple over with the slightest breeze.

She had an anxious expression, appearing to be looking for something in the crowd, looking like a pitiful, unwanted child.

Gu Ying hurriedly walked over and grabbed her thin, white wrist, propping her up. She laughed, "Sis Ning, what are you doing here?"
