Was it because the Emperor found out about her fake princess background, gave her to death in secret, and then declared her to be ill?
"Princess, other than the empress, do you and I have anyone else who knows about this?" Lian Ruyue suddenly asked.
"There's also Thirteen Sisters. She snuck into Changchun Palace and just happened to hear it." "Now that I think about it, mother knew that it wouldn't be long before she asked me to submit to her, but was afraid that I wouldn't leave, so she told me the secret and told me to leave the Changchun Palace peacefully." Feng Lingyue said hoarsely.
"This is bad!" Lian Ruyue recalled the scene when she entered the palace and saw Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Yunyao chatting together.
"What's wrong?" Feng Lingyue's heart shook. Her little heart could no longer withstand any other blows.
"Princess Thirteen must have told Xiao Zhenhai about this secret. She told Xiao Zhenhai to reveal the princess' identity, and that would ruin her reputation. My cousin is really scheming!" Princess, you can't beat her. "
Feng Lingyue suddenly sat up and said:
"What?" There was an agreement between us, and I followed everything she said. She helped me keep my secret and refused to tell royal father, so she … "
Feng Lingyue stopped talking, her face revealing a startled expression.
"She did abide by the agreement with the princess and didn't tell the emperor. It's just that she told the duke of Xiao." Lian Ru Yue thought about Feng Yunyao's usually gentle and weak face, coldly laughed, and said.
Thinking about it this way, her previous life, Feng Lingyue's early death, was probably related to Feng Ziyao.
"What do we do now?" Feng Lingyue gripped Lian Ruyue's hand. "It doesn't matter if I die, but in my ancestor's house …"
"Princess, you're not allowed to say such words. How can your death not matter? You are very important to some people, so you must stay alive. You cannot say such dejected words, and you cannot say them again in the future. Do you understand? " Lian Ruyue immediately said.
"But …"
"Princess, this matter suddenly happened. Please allow me to think about it." Lian Ruyue's mind was rapidly spinning — —
Why did Feng Ziyao have to go to Xiao Zhenhai to tell him this secret? Xiao Zhenhai and her had reached an agreement. What kind of agreement would that be?
"Princess, why did Princess Thirteen want to kill your little deer?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"She said that because her Imperial Father's dragon body was ill, the imperial physician said that the deer blood would heal her body, so she came to take the blood. But I feel that this is her excuse. She's only doing this to vent her anger, don't tell me …" Could it be that when they went to see Xiao He, Xiao He's not on time to meet up with her and angered her? " Feng Lingyue thought.
"Meet Xiao He?" Lian Ru Yue frowned.
"Thirteenth Sister wanted me to use my name to invite Xiao He to meet her. Afterwards, I don't know why, but she came to find trouble with me when I returned to the palace …" Feng Lingyue said as she thought back to today's situation.
Feng Tang wanted the Eleventh Princess to meet in her name? A princess, who was also the mistress of a house that had yet to leave, had arranged to meet with a young man, and after meeting with him, she had angrily gone to find someone who had replaced her appointment to vent her anger —
Then there was only one reason —
Feng Zhenhai's scorpion was definitely unsatisfied with Princess Eleven's daughter-in-law. Feng Zhenhai was sure to know this, so he told Xiao Zhenhai the secret. Xiao Zhenhai took the opportunity to break the engagement between Xiao He and Feng Lingyue, then asked the emperor to grant Xiao He and Feng Ziyao a marriage!
Yes, that must be it.
But now, what should he do?
When Feng Lingyue saw Lian Lianyue's troubled expression, she comforted her, "Lian Ruyue, the truth is that the empress died and Crown Prince Big Brother is no longer in the palace. I will also be lonely in the future, so there is no point in keeping the princess' position in my eyes. If it weren't for my consideration for the empress and the ancestor's family, I wouldn't have been threatened by Thirteenth Sister.
"So, you don't need to waste your time on me. Just let them be. They thought they had something on me, but who would have thought that I didn't care at all? That something isn't."
"No, Princess, this matter is not that simple. Xiao Zhenhai and Princess Thirteen should have an agreement." Lian Ruyue felt like she missed something, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Could it be that they have a conspiracy?" Feng Lingyue frowned. "I truly feel that living in this palace is tiring. Everyone has their own secrets hidden away in their hearts, and there is no time to say it out loud."
"Princess …" Lian Ruyue looked at Feng Lingyue's red and swollen eyes that were filled with tears. "If I can't be a princess, then I can?"
Princess Eleven was not the real princess. Since Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Yunyao already knew about it, it meant that they couldn't keep the secret anymore. Either Emperor Zhou Cheng thought of their old relationship and didn't kill her, and silently sent her into the cold palace, allowing her to die of old age in the palace, or Emperor Zhou Cheng secretly killed her, and then announced that Princess Eleven died from illness.
However, according to the trajectory of her previous life, Princess Eleven was dead, killed by either the Emperor or Feng Wu Yao.
In short, there would be no good ending for her if she stayed in the palace.
If he wanted to escape the doom of his previous life, perhaps the only way left was to leave the palace without anyone knowing.
How could he let Feng Lingyue leave the palace with her life intact?
Lian Ruyue frowned deeply — —
"Esteemed empress's funeral …" At this time, the eunuchs in the palace shouted loudly.
This time, she cried even louder than before. Seeing the phoenix robed empress being carried into the coffin, Feng Fengyue stood up in a daze, then quickly walked over to the coffin and knelt in front of it. Both of her hands held tightly onto the edge of the coffin — —
"Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother …"
"Princess, Princess, please forgive me." He ran over and hugged her from behind, comforting her.
At this moment, Lian Ruyue saw a few servants clean up the items in the empress's palace. She was stunned. The empress had just died, so why was she in such a hurry to clean up things?
She took advantage of the time it took for everyone to bury the empress, and followed the servants outside. When she turned the corner, she shouted, "Stop!"
The servants hastily stopped and bowed, "County Lord."
Lian Ruyue's gaze was cold and dignified as she looked straight at them and asked, "What did you take away?"
"County lord, esteemed empress dowager ordered this. Some, some things you don't need, you can take them out." One of the servants said.
"Even if it's an order from the empress dowager, all of you should do as she says. But all of the things in the empress dowager's palace are things that the princess values greatly. The princess sent me here to take a look, afraid you'd take something that shouldn't have been taken away." Lian Ruyue walked forward as she spoke.
The servants looked at each other and said, "Then let the county magistrate inspect the princess' work for you."
Lian Meng Yue went up to see them taking the Queen's seal and a medicinal bowl. Inside the bowl, there was still some medicinal dregs. She extended her hand …
The servant immediately took a step back, but when he raised his hand to look at Lian Yue, his heart trembled. The county lord in front of him emitted a force that made people feel timid, and he couldn't help but stop his steps —
Lian Ru Yue stretched out her hand to support the medicine bowl and said, "The things are done and broken. The princess won't forgive you. Go."
"Yes, County Lord." As if they had received an amnesty, the servants quickly left.
Lian Ruyue looked at her finger. Her finger was stained with some medicinal juice and a small bunch of medicinal dregs. She put these on her nose and smelled them, then carefully checked the dregs. Her heart immediately shook — —
There was something wrong with this medicine!
It turned out that the empress's death was not a simple illness, but … The empress dowager and emperor could no longer tolerate such a trash taking up the position of Changchun Palace.
She looked into the hall — —
The funeral of the empress had been completed, the coffin had been closed, and Princess Eleven had been replaced by a white-colored corpse of a deceased father. She was kneeling on the ground, crying her heart out.
The poor child had spent all his energy on taking care of the empress these days, but she had no idea that the empress dowager and empress had already secretly done something to allow this innocent and filial daughter of hers to drink the medicine that would gradually kill her.
If Princess Eleven knew, she would definitely blame herself.
Lian Ruyue expressionlessly wiped away the medicinal dregs and juice on her finger with a handkerchief and buried this secret in her heart.
