C178

She didn't dare to turn around and open the curtains of the carriage. She had already heard Wang Su's shout and almost shouted out her name to get off the carriage and return home with her … He himself had prepared a carriage, but he did not allow Da Feng's army to prepare a carriage. How could Wang Su possibly catch up?

Zhuang Li had always thought that wherever there was Wang Su, there would be a home. Whether it was in the barren wilderness or the deep palaces with high walls that she didn't like … She even felt that as long as Wang Su was here, she would be able to live a good life.

But at that time, she had never thought about how she would survive if she had to leave Wang Su's side one day. She kept patting her abdomen that had yet to swell.

Now I'm going to give you a home...

Although the battle on West Cold's side had already settled down and what they wanted had already been obtained, they could even withdraw. However, it was not so easy for the Great Phoenix to stop. They had to reorganize the soldiers and prepare to attack again …

He had lost control of his West Cold and lost his concubine … How could a large country take this lying down? Although Xi Cuo knew that he had not recovered his strength, the West Cold Army was still much weaker than the army that the Great Phoenix had operated for many years. However, Xi Cuo did not seem to care at all, as if he was saying 'Great Feng, just come at me'.

He had already tried to lose more, so he wasn't afraid of losing more. The lost land could still be returned to him. What was there to be afraid of … After all, he had already escaped from death once …

Moreover, the West Cold was not alone in battle … These past few days, Zhuang Li had almost forgotten about him.

She did know that Wang Bi was in this camp of the West Cold army, but Wang Bi had never come to see her, so Ge Ya was the one to explain to him why he was doing this …

Speaking of which, it was Wang Bi who found them on his own accord …

Zhuang Li did believe that maybe Wang Bi had really planned to forget about the conflict within the imperial government, and find a beautiful place to live the life of a rich man. But his mother was unwilling …

The reason behind this matter was not too far from Zhuang Li's guess. Zhang Mengyu's identity was noble, no matter if it was her family's power or her own unique methods, all of these made her the unquestionable empress, ruling over the imperial harem.

At that time, the imperial harem was exceptionally lively … There were hundreds of concubines and Imperial Noble Lady s on the list … Although many people had stayed in the palace until their deaths and never had the chance to meet the late emperor … No matter what, Zhang Mengyu was a woman who had reached the pinnacle of the great phoenix race in every aspect. With her there, all the women in the imperial harem would keep their guard up, and being able to bear the concubine of a prince was something that she had carefully selected, so it was definitely not a threat to her. But later on, no matter how many children the emperor received, they would never waver over her position …

because she gave birth to Wang Bi …

The so called Wang Bi, was the jade from the royal family.

The late emperor was especially fond of him, and that child was indeed exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, it was also extremely intelligent and had almost obtained all the attention of the late emperor.

So when he was two years old, the emperor had already made him Prince Bi … A mother to her son, and that Zhang Mengyu was originally the Sovereign Queen, so naturally she was even more noble …

As a matriarch to the world, she was naturally in charge of all the rights in the harem. Although the princes were born one after another, they were all within the range that she had agreed to. The only exception was Wang Su …

She was just a child of a mere servant, and her mother was exceptionally obedient. Even if the emperor conferred her the title of an imperial concubine, she was still willing to live in a remote place like the Plum Court. The emperor probably wouldn't go there even once every ten years …

She didn't care about this woman at first, she was just a fool without a brain. She spent the entire day taking care of her rundown little yard, teaching her child to be no different from a farmer in the mountains and plains outside the palace. She passed around all her gossip in the palace, and everyone only treated her as a joke …

What made Zhang Mengyu pay attention to her again was the child …

When Wang Su finally reached the age to study, regardless of whether his mother was willing or not, she had to realize that Wang Su was the Emperor's child. Thus, that child finally got the chance to go to the palace to study, and unexpectedly had a particularly good relationship with Wang Bi.

That was probably the first time he realized that his father was the king of an entire country, and what he possessed was the same inherent and noble authority as the other princes.

He loved to read and knew countless of things, but they could be obtained through his own efforts. For example, his mother had stayed in the deepest part of the palace, but had never seen the Emperor.

However, if he were to diligently study, the Emperor would be able to notice him.

His studies in politics had been recognized by the emperor, and he had even gone deep into the palace to visit that woman as a reward. In the end, this still made Zhang Mengyu unresigned in his heart.

At first, she thought that she was wrong. She thought that the Imperial Consort Mei was just an honest and brainless person, but now, she realized that the son that she had taught was not simple at all … She had instinctively considered that it was all because of the Imperial Consort Mei …

First, he forced Imperial Consort Mei to teach his son a good lesson so that he wouldn't rise to the top. Since Imperial Consort Mei couldn't do it, he might as well kill his son …

Wang Su knew about this matter, and Wang Bi also knew about it. He knew that his mother was cruel and that his own unwillingness to fight for the throne was the greatest revenge he could take against his mother …

Zhang Mengyu was the late emperor's rightful and proper Queen, so no matter who inherited the position of emperor, she was still the legitimate empress dowager. Even if Wang Bi didn't fight for it, for Wang Su to be able to climb up the throne of emperor right under her noses was already heaven defying …

But how could Wang Su bear to see his enemy, who killed his mother, sitting in a position that could block his control? Not long after, he found a reason to keep the empress dowager under house arrest in the Broken Jade Pavilion outside the palace.

But Zhang Mengyu was not an ordinary person, even at this step, she was still controlling the movement of the court, she had always hoped that Prince Bi would carry out a coup, and had prepared many times, but was rejected by Wang Bi.

Until when the Lord Yin Tai fell and Liu Yiyi went to inform the Empress Dowager Mengyu who was on top of the broken jade. When she felt that the chance was here, she purposely argued with the soldiers and lost her life.

Her obsession for the throne. Even if she had to throw away her life, she would still enrage her own son and make him fight for it …

Thus, when Xi Cuo once again made a request for an alliance with Wang Bi, Wang Bi almost agreed without hesitation …

Thus, the current situation …

"Then how is he now?" Zhuang Li asked.

"Put yourself in the tent, and drive out all the servants. Drink all the liquor by yourself, and you won't wake up …"

"Let me go see him …"

"He doesn't want to see anyone …"

"He will be willing to see me …"

Wang Bi's tent was built exceptionally wide and exquisite, there were beaded curtains inside too. Just as she entered the house, he heard Wang Bi throw a jug of wine in front of her, causing her to take a step back in shock.

"Scram …"

Zhuang Li would not shrink back because of this, instead, she became even calmer …

"I'm not coming in. I'm just sitting here." There was a string of pearl curtain separating her and Wang Bi, so she could vaguely see his figure on the reclining chair.

"Do you hate me?" the man asked.

"Why should I hate you?"

"Because of my obsession, I wanted to let that man taste the taste of loss as well. That's why I helped West Cold … "He's actually just my favorite brother …"

"You're not wrong... No matter if I hate you for it or not, you should not continue to live. Live well, and you should still be that Prince Bi … "

"But you will never see him again … When I knew that you had already entered the West Cold Palace, I already knew exactly how much you loved him, which was why I was willing to exchange myself for it, even if it meant that I wouldn't be able to see him again … I've regretted it for a long time, but there's no medicine for regret in this world … "I'm a bad guy. Even if I've already regretted it, you can't become happy …"

Sometimes, I feel that my life isn't lucky. After being the crown prince for so many years and enjoying a wealth that ordinary people can't even enjoy, I have fallen to the point that I don't even have someone to talk to me with …

"When I was young, I was just an ignorant girl from the Zhao Mansion. My appearance was not very pretty, and I wasn't favored by my father.

At that time, I lost my mother, so I was too young. Without the protection of that powerful mother, I was pushed around and bullied.

But then I met someone.

He was so noble and quick that I could not bear to look him in the eye. He was willing to listen to all the nonsense I said and never laugh at me, and he was willing to understand all the strange things I did. I was so ugly that even my own father would despise me, but he was willing to accept me, saying that when I grow up, he's going to boat and drink with me on the lake …

He was clearly a good friend, but because of various matters, I was unable to get along with him as properly as before …

I always thought maybe this was fate,

But one day I suddenly did not miss him because of this, we not only drank wine together, but also walked the streets together, have tea together... I didn't know it was him...

Speaking to this point, Zhuang Li was already filled with tears.

"Am I right?" Young Master Baishi... I have never been able to understand why you are called Young Master Baishi. "It's Wang Baishi …"
