"I don't understand what my beloved concubine means!" Yang Guang's tone was cold as he glanced to the side.

I heaved a sigh of relief and slumped against the soft cushion. My body felt sore and weak. The noise outside made it impossible for them to hear the conversation between me and Yang Guang, nor did they know that the carriage was filled with distance.

He is my husband, and I should have trusted him, shouldn't I? However, I don't know why, but there was always an indescribable worry in the depths of my heart. A faint and strange feeling tangled together with the various conjectures within my heart, causing me to feel extremely exhausted.

I closed my eyes and said in my heart: Trust in Yang Guang, trust in my husband. However, he seemed to be talking to himself as he murmured:

"Is it really not you?"

I stared at Yang Guang, and felt a little scared in my heart. He originally suspected that I was the empress's man, but now that I suspect him so much, he must be even more suspicious of me now, right? I don't want to be the second Yuan family!

From the time the Yuan clan suffered the cold treatment to their accidental death, it was all because she could not bear the heart of the crown prince.

Through the faint light, I saw Yang Guang's shoulder tremble slightly. Was he about to explode? Would he turn on me? Would he abandon me forever? Would he be like the crown prince, ignoring me like the princess consort?

I had never thought that I would care so much about his love, his love, and perhaps I could take away all the glory and wealth from my sight, but what about my heart? I actually care about how he feels about me!

"What is my beloved concubine thinking?" Yang Guang turned around and instead of the previous coldness, gently embraced me and stared at me through the dim light. Other than the trace of light in his eyes, I couldn't see anything.

As my face inched closer, the heat from his breath rushed to my cheek. My eyes blurred even more, and the familiar smell slowly seeped into my heart …

Although the empress did her best to conceal the matter, the death of the Crown Princess due to arsenic poisoning was still known to the people of the streets within three days. Although the Emperor was trying to conceal the matter, but within three days, the death of the crown prince's consort due to arsenic poisoning was still known to the people of the streets.

The Crown Prince had almost been compared to a heartless and cold-blooded demon. The people had all lost their will, and there were even some civil organizations that had started an alliance to advise the imperial government.

The Emperor's rage led to the investigation of this matter. He even ordered Yang Yong to be annulled as Crown Prince and temporarily placed under house arrest in the Eastern Palace.

If they found out the truth, Yang Yong's life would be in danger. However, at this time, the official who was ordered to investigate this matter unexpectedly received a piece of evidence.

A concubine in the Crown Prince's Palace confessed to her crimes. According to her, the Crown Princess was so jealous of her that she was favored by the Crown Prince that she humiliated and made things difficult for her. She was so angry that she stole arsenic from the Crown Princess' porridge.

This is not real, definitely not real! Instinctively, I don't believe this to be the truth. There must be something more to it.

However, the woman's words were very convincing, and she confessed. She also found half a bag of arsenic in the hall where she lived, which matched the death of the Crown Prince's consort. It was reasonable, and the Emperor's Queen also agreed with this.

The day of the execution was the day of the princess' funeral. The whole capital was in an uproar. First, it was to watch the funeral of the royal family. Second, to see who was the man who had killed the princess out of jealousy.

As I followed her, I peeked back at the woman in the van. She was dressed in a moon-white satin dress, a muslin skirt, and blue and white flowers. Although she didn't have much jewelry, she had put it away neatly. She had put on some makeup to cover up her pale face. It was obvious that she had purposely dressed up before coming out.

Along the way, she maintained a calm smile, as if she wasn't a prisoner on the verge of death, but a graceful woman looking at the scenery from a high vantage point. That faint smile made me feel even more confident that she was definitely not the murderer of the Crown Princess. How could a girl who didn't care about life and death be jealous enough to kill someone?

"Look!" This was the jealous woman! I never thought that despite her beautiful appearance, her heart is like a scorpion's! "

"It's incredible that such a charming woman could do such a thing!"

"The most venomous woman's heart! Especially this kind of smart person, what can't he do? "

"Sigh, what a pity …"

The commoners by the side of the road were all chattering away. The imperial guards were able to stop them, but they were unable to stop them from speaking.

The woman in the carriage ignored the discussions around her, as if it was none of her business. She continued to smile, and the heavy Jia Suo fell on top of her. She wanted to move her head, but it was difficult.

At the side of the Crown Prince's wife's coffin, Yang Yong was riding on his horse with an expressionless face, staring fixedly into the distance. Although his eyes were empty, the sadness in the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden.

But who was he feeling sad for?

From start to finish, he had not once turned his head to look at the woman in the carriage. It was unknown whether it was because he didn't care or because he didn't dare to.

I didn't see even a hint of disappointment in the eyes of the woman in the carriage, as if everything had gone according to plan, as if the princess had really been killed by her and had not sacrificed herself to protect Yang Yong.

Yang Yong, to be able to obtain such admiration from a woman, truly had no regrets even in death.

He faintly sighed in his heart and felt a bit sad. He felt that this girl was not worth it, but he was deeply moved by her actions. She must have given her all of love and love to him, right? However, what kind of state did he have towards her?

The procession slowly moved forward. Due to the status of the Yuan family in the imperial court, the empress's funeral ceremony was quite grand as she tried to pacify the Yuan family and change from her usual frugal style.

I didn't see the woman in the van being executed, because all the women had turned away.

I tried to read something in Yang Yong's expression, but there were too many of them, and they were all dressed in white. I couldn't find a trace of him in the crowd.

The crown prince's wife had already been buried, and the case had been "brought to light", but Yang Yong's identity had become awkward. The emperor had already ordered him to cripple his reserve position, so there was no need for him to immediately take back the imperial edict. After careful consideration, he finally made a new one, saying that the crown prince had "doted on the crown prince, violated the laws of the world, was filial, and had come close to being a villain".

On the day of the royal decree, Yang Guang came back very early, and seeing that his expression was not too good, he personally served the tea, carefully attending to it, not daring to say a single word.

Yang Guang took a sip of tea, and with a "peng" sound, he slammed the teacup down onto the table, splashing the tea all over the floor.

"Chenqie is guilty! May I ask Your Highness if the tea does not flow to your mouth? " I was startled by his sudden anger, which he had never been so fond of since we were married.

Yang Guang stared at me, and I looked at him with fear and trepidation. I didn't know what to do, but I had the feeling that when he looked at me, he wasn't looking at me, but was deep in thought.

After standing like this for a while, Yang Guang suddenly recovered, the anger on his face completely disappeared. Just when I was wondering why he changed his expression so quickly, he pulled me down and changed into a doting expression.

"Has Gu Ruoyun scared his beloved concubine? These are all matters of the court, I shouldn't have gotten angry in front of my beloved concubine. "

I touched my chest and said, feeling wronged,

"Guanglang's actions just now really scared chenqie to death."

Yang Guang had an apologetic face, but laughed like he was coaxing a child:

"My beloved concubine is too timid. After all, I have a mother. Are you afraid of being bullied by me?"

I tilted my head in contemplation, cutely casted a glance at him, pursed my lips into a faint smile, and said:

"That's true. If Guanglang tries to scare Chenqie again, Chenqie will follow the lead of those poor families and find mother to make a ruckus!"
