"I know you don't remember. You don't remember anything! You have forgotten all about us, and you are now peacefully your would-be queen, but do you know how painful and painful it is for me? But I can't blame you for your unintentional actions, because you forgot all of this because you were injured, and you didn't do it on purpose. But you have to give me a chance to make it clear, I don't want to die from the depression in my heart! "
Murong Mingyue was like a volcano that had erupted as the words he held in his heart popped out without a care. Cui'er was completely stunned when she heard this, while Yun Shengyue could only look at him in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Shengyue doesn't understand what Imperial Brother is trying to say …"
"Royal brother! Royal brother! I don't want to hear you call me that. You used to call me Brother Yu. " What Murong Mingyue could not tolerate the most was Yunsheng's blank and clueless look. He could not help but grab her shoulders and shake her.
A fog floated up from Yun Sheng's eyes as he cried out in pain. Cui'er reacted and rushed over to protect her master. "Your Highness, quickly let go. You have hurt my young miss!"
With a raise of his right hand, he quickly pressed on Cui Er's acupoints, allowing her to collapse in the corner of the carriage. The entire carriage was wrapped in a thick blanket, so it did not hurt from the fall.
It was true that she owed him a favor for seeking his life and for nurturing and teaching him, but who could say who owed whom the feelings between them? It was because he didn't fulfill his promise in time that he married Murong Yu. Perhaps it was also because Imperial Concubine Lian stopped him.
He had thought that Murong Yu would agree to her two years of agreement. He had once said that regardless of whether her mother's illness was cured or not, he could divorce her under the name of "no child" after two years.
But now? Everything had changed! Not to mention that she was pregnant, Baili Yu wasn't Baili Yu, but the prince, Murong Chong. Furthermore, he had come to Jin City to become the imperial concubine. How could they live under the eyes of the masses?
Everything was impossible! Therefore, she had to forget everything that had happened in the past. She could only continue to live as if nothing had happened. However, she did not expect that Murong Ming's pain would be this deep. What did he want her to do?
"I know that you probably hate me, so you don't want to think about the past anymore. But you don't understand my helplessness. For the past ten years, the Brother Yu you've met has always been carefree and omnipotent, but do you know? "Only when I face you will I be like this. Only when I am in front of you can I be so easily satisfied. I don't need to think about anything, I don't need to worry about anything …"
Murong Yu relaxed his grip on her and looked at her deeply. He wanted to talk to her urgently, so he continued to whisper, "But when facing mufei, I often feel breathless, and when we were killed that year, we lost ourselves in the fire and had to hide outside the palace. For ten years, mufei has always been living in hatred and unwillingness, and she wants revenge, wanting to take back everything that belongs to her. She wants me to become the most outstanding prince, and I have always understood her, so I'm willing to cooperate with her.
What was Imperial Concubine Lian's plan? Did he just want to return to the palace and obtain the favor of the Emperor? No, it should not be just that. If it was just that, she did not need to hide it from everyone for ten years before returning to the Imperial Palace.
However, she had neglected the helplessness and pain of the man in front of her. She felt somewhat apologetic in her heart, but it turned out that the gentle and gentle noble young master, who had always been in high spirits, had sacrificed his freedom for his mother.
I know that you will definitely blame me for marrying Wei Yinglan, but whether it is Wei Yinglan or any other woman, they were all arranged by mufei and are not people I like. From the beginning to the end, I only wanted you. When Murong Yu saw that Yun Shengyue was still looking at him with a blank expression, an intense feeling of loss and grief struck him. You won't understand. You won't forgive me, will you? It's because I've repeatedly backed down when facing mufei's request that you've already moved on to Murong Yu, right? Why? "Why …"
Mu Rong Zhen's voice became softer and softer, almost inaudible, yet a tear leaked out from the corner of his eye. He dejectedly put down his hands and looked at the pearl on the carriage without saying a word.
If all of Murong Mingyue's explanations made Yunsheng feel that destiny made a fool of him and that there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation, Murong Mingyue's dejected and sorrowful expression made her heart ache. With a panicked glance, she quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to reveal her true emotions.
If she was just a simple little servant girl, no one would have noticed her existence. She just needed to quietly guard him, but now that she was his brother's wife and child, she couldn't even give him a word of comfort. She could only hope that he would forget about her after feeling pained and sad. She really didn't want to become the sinner that made these two brothers fall for her!
He did not even dare to glance at her again for fear of seeing her astonishment and confusion, afraid that she would have an innocent expression that did not concern him. Moments later, he lifted the heavy curtain and jumped down from the carriage that was still moving and quickly disappeared into the cold wind.
Black Six, who was driving, jumped in shock. Black Two and the others, who were riding on horses, also approached curiously. Black Six pulled open the curtain of the carriage and asked with their head lowered, "Princess, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" "Continue on our way and hurry back to the manor." Yun Sheng calmly replied.
"Yes sir!" Black Six immediately put down the curtain and turned around to continue driving. Although the others had their doubts, it was inconvenient for them to ask any more questions.
Not only was the crown prince's carriage luxurious, but the walls of the carriage were also extremely thick and tightly packed. When people spoke in the carriage with ordinary voices, the outside world would not be able to hear them. Only when the carriage's curtains were opened would people be able to hear the voices coming from inside.
In fact, the discomfort and hesitation he felt in his heart was not inferior to hers. However, she had been thinking too much over the past two days. Although she was extremely confused about her and Murong Yu's future, she knew very well about the relationship between them.
It was obvious that she didn't want her to think about the past either, because she had always wanted to be the diligent princess in peace from the very beginning. The reason her mother had such a thought was also for her own good, so she couldn't blame her for not understanding. Her mother's disappearance at that time was still a mystery, but fortunately her health hadn't deteriorated at that time, so she wanted to be a daughter that she could rest assured.
Murong Ming, I'm sorry! I can only let you down now. I might not be able to repay all your love for the rest of your life! Yun Sheng muttered as tears began streaming down his face.
Murong Yu, when will you be back? How am I supposed to face you? Yun Sheng shook her head, unwilling to think any further. She could only avoid him at the end. After a while, she finally wiped away her tears and reached out her hand to open Cui'er's acupoints.
"Miss, please eat some more." Inside the small flower house, Xiao Jin was trying to persuade Wei Yinlan to eat again. The food on the table was so little that it was hard to tell that anyone had eaten it.
Wei Yinglan shook his head and said softly, "I really don't have any appetite."
"But you still can't eat that little. Miss, what do you want to eat? If you say so, I'll go to the kitchenette right away. " Xiao Jing was burning with anxiety as she looked at her Master, who was getting thinner and thinner.
"I'm really not hungry, don't worry about me." She really didn't want to eat it. She was disgusted by the sight of food.
"Miss, if you don't eat it, the child must eat it as well. How can his body continue to withstand this?" Xiao Jing looked around and whispered. Although she didn't understand why Wei Yinglan had to hide such good news, she still listened to her master's words.
"It's been a few days since Your Highness has come, but this servant has already asked around. Your Highness also doesn't have a place to stay on either side, so Miss, please don't be upset."
"Heh." Wei Yinglan laughed bitterly, "I'm not feeling bad. What's there to feel bad about me now? He never cared about me from the beginning. No matter what I do, it doesn't matter! Do you think it's okay if he doesn't go to either side? "That's only because his heart hasn't been retracted at all. All three of us are pitiful people …"
"Then what should we do? Now that the New Year is almost over, we heard that there's a snowstorm outside, and that the palace has organized two more happy events. The emperor has already instructed us to take care of the new year, we have nothing much to prepare, after the new year, are you really going back to the palace? "
"Yes, I must return to the manor. When the time comes, you can also return with me. It's too lonely here in the palace. I'll help you find a good family to marry to."
"Miss, this servant doesn't want to marry. This servant has followed you since young and will follow you for the rest of her life. You still need me to take care of you right now, don't send me away." Xiao Jin was anxious.
Wei Yinglan grabbed her hand and said, "I'm not just carelessly sending you off, there's nothing good about following me around. I hope that you can have your own life, don't talk about it now. Just pay attention when you go back home. If there's anyone you like, just tell me."
"Miss!" Xiao Jin always had an ominous feeling, but she also didn't believe that Wei Yinglan could leave the palace completely. Forget about the palace, even the lord and mistress wouldn't agree to it.
"Princess, Imperial Concubine Xiu, Xue Fei requests to meet you! We've already taken him to the Orchid Hall. " A palace maid came in to report to him.
Wei Yinglan nodded her head. She immediately straightened her dress and walked towards Orchid Hall. She was dressed in the most ordinary of palace outfits. Her black hair was casually tied up with an orchid hairpin, and her face was a little gloomy.
"Baili Xiu and Zhong Hanxue greet the Royal Concubine!" Both of them were new players, so they were very careful with their manners.
Wei Yinglan sat down and casually said, "You two don't have to be so polite, just call me Yinglan."
"Yes, I heard that elder sister Ying Lan is having her meal right now. We were the ones who disturbed her." She was dressed in a light red palace dress, and her hair only carried one Eight Treasures Jade hairpin. Her face was like a hibiscus, and her voice was soft and sweet. Her red lips were slightly pursed. There were small dimples on her cheeks, which were very attractive.
Wei Yinglan smiled lightly and said, "No, I've slept past the hour limit, so now is not the time to eat."
Elder sister, I don't know what the prince is busy with, but he's been locked up in the study. He even ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him …" Zhong Hanxue was a little girl, wearing a treasure blue brocade dress with plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. Her black hair was tied into a small bun, and she only had a plum blossom blue jade hairpin stuck on her head. She looked simple, but was also very fresh and refined.
Wei Yinglan said indifferently, "I haven't seen His Highness for a few days already and have been plagued by disasters among the people. Since His Highness is in the study room, I believe he is trying to find a way to help His Majesty share his worries."
"Oh, but politics is important, why must you keep us out? Sister Xiu and I have only been at the palace for a few days." Zhong Hanxue didn't even try to hide her annoyance.
Baili Xiu smiled, "Your highness has some important matters, so we shouldn't disturb you. Don't mention Huan Xue. I've come here today just to chat with elder sister Ying Lan."
Wei Yinglan glanced at Baili Xiu and said, "I should have been more concerned about you two sisters entering the palace just now, but I was a little lazy when winter arrived. Please forgive me, my two sisters!"
"Sister, you're too courteous. As long as we can become a family, it's fate for us. As long as sister doesn't mind, then just take me as your little sister." Zhong Huan Xue replied sincerely. Baili Xiu also smiled and agreed.
Zhong Hanxue didn't know what Baili Xiu was thinking, but she was originally a bit jealous of Wei Yinglan. Although she had grown up in Jincheng, she had seen Murong Ming a few times and knew that she was going to marry him when she grew up.
She had thought that she would become a main wife, but who knew that she would just be a side concubine who entered the palace with Zhong Hanxue. Although Murong Ming had entered his new room that night and didn't have a room to sleep in, he still went back to sleep with Wei Yinglan.
For the past few days, he didn't even see a trace of Murong Chong. Originally, he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, but seeing Wei Yinglan's haggard appearance, he endured it. Could it be that her news was true? Was Murong Chong still unable to let go of that darn girl, Yun Shengyue?
In the past, he had gone to the Wind City to live for a few days and had a falling out with her. At that time, Murong Chong was always biased towards Yun Shengyue, and the people from the Baili family knew that Murong Mingyue liked her, but she was only a servant girl, so under Imperial Concubine Lian's consolation, she did not care about it anymore. What she did not expect was that the girl was actually the prime minister of the court, and in the blink of an eye, she had even married the king.
"I've been alone since I was young. I have no brothers or sisters, and now that I have two sisters, I'm very happy. I can't figure out what's on the mind of the prince anymore, so I'll have to rely on them from now on." She was clear about the intention of the two of them to probe her, so she had to make it clear, in case the two of them decided to treat her as their opponent, and Murong Chong's heart was not in Jade Palace, while the few girls were actually fighting inside, that would be a huge joke, not worth it!
Baili Xiu gave a slight smile as he spoke in an astonishing manner, "I know a little about the prince's thoughts."
"Really?" Sister Xiu, quickly tell me. " Zhong Huan Xue was the youngest. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked anxiously. Wei Yinlan just stared at her without saying anything. However, her attitude showed that she was looking forward to it.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, he slowly said, "Your highness had always liked a servant girl from the Baili family. However, that maidservant girl is already married. If Your highness marries someone, we'll probably forget about her, right?"
"I was wondering what it was. So it was a little girl. Since Your Highness likes her, why did you confiscate her? Why are you still thinking about her now that you're already married?" Zhong Rongxue asked in confusion, "Elder sister, could it be that the prince only has that little girl in his heart?"
"I'm not sure about that. Although the prince has always been gentle and kind, he never told me about it." Wei Yinglan frowned slightly, deliberately not concealing her disappointment and doubt.
Baili Xiu smiled at Zhong Hanxue, "That girl isn't a normal person. Your highness would probably let her go. She probably ignored us because she's been busy with political affairs."
"I hope that's the case. Your highness isn't even here with big sister, so we can't say anything." Zhong Hanxue really didn't know what to say. However, although Wei Yinglan felt a slight stabbing pain in her heart, she was too lazy to care.
Seeing that Wei Yinglan looked exhausted, Baili Xiu got up to leave. Zhong Hanxue also left with her, but she still couldn't forget to ask her about the maidservant girl. Other than not having revealed Yun Shengyue's identity, Baili Xiu did not hide anything from her, nor did he hide anything from Murong Ming.
Wei Yinglan sent the two away with a bitter smile on her face. It was obvious that the two of them were unwilling to give up, just like herself when she was first married. She hoped that they could obtain his heart, because she had already given up!
