"Then...the little princess is..."
When she thought that Yun Kai was not Concubine Xian's biological child, Bai Yanqing's first reaction was Yun Yi's parentage!
"Yi'er is indeed my and the emperor's biological daughter! Over the years, my friendship with the emperor cannot be faked! Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty loves me so much? Since I, I have decided When you stay and take the place of Sister Yurou, I will be ready to serve Your Majesty!"
Concubine Xian's eyes were soft and her tone was light. She never felt that Bai Yanqing's words had offended her at all.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought... that the virtuous concubine would pick up a girl from anywhere and coax the emperor just to maintain her favor!
From this point of view, the relationship between the virtuous concubine and the emperor should not be faked! It's just... As for what the two of them have in mind, outsiders don't know!
In just a few hours, Bai Yanqing knew the secret that Concubine Xian and Grandma Sun had kept for many years! Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing felt a little restless.
Concubine Xian will not...kill people and silence them, right?
Such absurd thoughts flashed through Bai Yanqing's mind! But soon, she shook her head and rejected her idea! If Concubine Xian really wanted to kill her, why would she invite her and Yunqi to come together? The noble concubine could just find a deserted place and assassinate herself! Why bother telling her these secrets?
At that time, Bai Yanqing suddenly woke up, and she suddenly thought of what Aunt An told her in her ear this morning before leaving the house!
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door!
It wasn't until this moment that Bai Yanqing finally understood what Aunt An meant by her words!
From yesterday's snow, Aunt An's hint, to this morning, Aunt An's clear statement when sending Bai Yanqing out! All these things reveal Aunt An’s good intentions!
It turns out that Aunt An already knew what would happen when Bai Yanqing entered the palace today! It turns out that she had already warned Bai Yanqing to stop meddling in her own business! But... Bai Yanqing's temperament never likes to owe others favors!
Earlier, it was because of the help of the noble concubine that Bai Yanqing was able to leave the palace smoothly! But now, Concubine Xian wants Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi to help so that Yun Kai and Xi Yue can get married smoothly! How could Bai Yanqing refuse? How could Yunqi refuse?
I have to say that Concubine Xian played a big game of chess! It seemed that she was repaying the favor she had with Ji Jinchu, but in fact, she was letting Yunqi and Bai Yanqing owe her a favor! After going back and forth like this, Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi couldn't refuse the noble concubine even if they wanted to!
Bai Yanqing began to secretly regret it. She really should have left the palace with Yun Qi at that time! Why bother to linger over this matter?
The marriage between Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi was the result of the two of them breaking their foreheads and getting swollen knees from kneeling in order to get the emperor to let go! Now their own marriage has finally received the emperor's nod! How can they have the ability to help Yun Kai and Xi Yue?
What's more, Xiyue's identity is also very embarrassing. She is the empress of Xingyue Kingdom. Maybe the emperor is unhappy and accuses Bai Yanqing of collaborating with the enemy and treason. That would be terrible!
"Miss Bai, First Prince, I know that my request has put you in a difficult situation! But... this is the last thing I can do for Kai'er! Please grant it!"
After the noble concubine Xian finished speaking, she quickly bowed to Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi! Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped aside to avoid it!
Concubine Xian is the elder of Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi in terms of status. How can an elder salute a younger one? If Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi really accepted this gift, it would really kill them!
"My Lady, what are you doing? My daughter and Your Highness are your juniors. Aren't you going to kill us by doing this..."
Bai Yanqing frowned slightly, pulled Yunqi aside, and after steadying herself, she spoke with some displeasure.
"Miss Bai, this is what I...have to do! Only by staying away from the palace and the capital can Kai'er keep the secret between our mother and son! Only then can we... keep it."
Save the lives of our mother and son! If the emperor finds out about these things... I'm afraid... we, mother and son, will not end up well! Now, only Kai'er left the Chen Kingdom and went to the Star-Moon Kingdom. With the identity of the husband of the Star-Moon King, the emperor could not touch him easily! "
The noble concubine's eyebrows were furrowed and her face was full of sorrow.
The emperor was suspicious by nature, and as the emperor's legitimate son, no one knew this better than Yun Qi! Otherwise, he wouldn't have intentionally hidden his stupidity for many years!
From what Yunqi knew about the emperor, he probably had never trusted anyone before! Including his favorite concubine Xian! Otherwise, after Bai Yanqing left the palace, the virtuous concubine would not have been secretly suppressed by the emperor!
When a thought arises, all things are emotions; when a thought disappears, all living beings are merciless!
The emperor has loved Concubine Xian for many years because Concubine Xian is the most "secure and self-disciplined" in the harem! She never let Yun Kai participate in the fight in the previous harem!
Over the years, with the decline of the Jiang family, the noble concubine lived in seclusion and gradually had no contact with the Jiang family! It is precisely because of these things that the emperor loves the virtuous concubine so much!
If one day, the emperor learns that the noble concubine he has favored for many years is actually an outsider who has nothing to do with the Jiang family, and is actually someone disguised as Jiang Yurou, will the emperor still love her? Will you still take care of Yun Kai? the answer is negative!
One day, if the emperor really learns the truth, then Concubine Xian and Yun Kai must be the first to suffer!
It can be seen from this that Concubine Xian’s concerns are indeed not unreasonable! She has protected Yun Kai for many years and has long regarded Yun Kai as her own son! As a mother, she naturally wants to make all possible preparations for her son’s future!
"My dear concubine, you must also know why the little girl entered the palace today! The emperor originally intended to separate the little girl from His Highness. Today, if it weren't for the help of Grandma Sun and His Highness, the little girl and His Highness would be separated. , will not leave the imperial study room unharmed! To put it bluntly, we are also unable to protect ourselves now! I am afraid...it will be difficult to help His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
Bai Yanqing thought about it again and again, and decided to politely refuse the noble concubine! It’s not that she doesn’t want to help, it’s that she really doesn’t have the ability to help!
I thought that Concubine Xian would stop forcing them after hearing what Bai Yanqing said, but...
"Miss Bai, do you still remember that I once gave a luminous pearl to Emperor Xingxu?"
Concubine Xian suddenly spoke and mentioned the luminous pearl!
Bai Yanqing was stunned when he heard this! She subconsciously tightened her cuffs! His eyes were full of vigilance!
"Presumably, that luminous pearl is in Miss Bai's hands now, right?"
Concubine Xian continued to ask Bai Yanqing, without giving her any time to think.
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly if you have something to say. I am stupid and don't know what my concubine's actions mean!"
Bai Yanqing didn't like the feeling of being threatened. This feeling would make her feel like her neck was being pinched severely!
"If Miss Bai is willing to help Kai'er with this favor! Then I will tell Miss Bai the secret on this night-light pearl!"
Concubine Xian clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked deeply at Bai Yanqing! She didn't want to take such a risky move, but this girl from the Bai family was very stubborn! Concubine Xian had no choice but to be cruel!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing suddenly laughed for no reason. She reached out and took out the wooden box containing the night pearl from her sleeve. Then, without thinking, she threw it to Concubine Xian!
"If the imperial concubine is reluctant to part with it, I can just give it back to you! Such a luminous pearl is of little use if left in my hands!"
Bai Yanqing doesn't want to know what kind of secret this luminous pearl hides! Judging from what happened today, knowing more secrets may not be a good thing!
Looking at the wooden box in her hand, Concubine Xian fell into deep thought again! Even Ye Mingzhu couldn't make Bai Yanqing relent. Could it be that... she had to make her words clear before this girl would help?
"Your Highness, it's getting late, and I want to go home for lunch!"
Bai Yanqing turned her head and spoke to Yunqi.
It was as if Bai Yanqing's words brought her back to her thoughts instantly.
, Yunqi was stunned! After a moment, he took Bai Yanqing's hand, without saying a word, just nodded slightly towards Concubine Xian and Grandma Sun, and then pulled Bai Yanqing to go out!
"What if I tell you that I know who killed you in those years?"
When Concubine Xian saw that Yun Qi and Bai Yanqing were leaving, she immediately dropped a heavy blow!
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Yunqi stopped! Bai Yanqing's steps also stopped! I have to say that the weight of these words in the hearts of Yun Qi and Bai Yanqing is far more powerful and important than that luminous pearl that came from nowhere!
"Miss Bai, I not only know the causes of death, but I also know...who set the fire in the Bai Mansion, the fire that burned Mrs. Ji to death!"
Just when Yun Qi and Bai Yanqing were still immersed in the words "Who killed each other?", Concubine Xian suddenly spoke and dropped another sentence. It was this sentence that made Bai Yanqing's feet no longer able to move outward. Moved!
Ji Jinchu's death has always been something that Bai Yanqing can't let go of!
Just when Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi were stunned in place, Concubine Xian suddenly walked up to them slowly! She put the wooden box containing the night pearl into Bai Yanqing's hand again! Then, under the gaze of Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi, she stood upright in front of them without fear!
"Queen An did not die of illness! She was killed by others! This is something that Nanny Sun knows better than me. If the eldest prince doesn't believe it, you can ask Nanny Sun in person now in front of me!"
Concubine Xian stared at Yun Qi without a trace of timidity in her eyes.
Queen An did not die of illness. Yunqi always knew about this! He has been secretly investigating the cause of his mother's death for so many years! Therefore, Yunqi has no doubts about Concubine Xian’s words!
"I know!"
Yunqi suddenly changed from his usual foolishness, stared into Concubine Xian's eyes, and said three words straightly.
Looking at Yun Qi, whose eyes were clear and not a trace of turbidity at this moment, Concubine Xian felt as if she had been hit by a wooden stick, and she understood instantly! After all these years, it turns out that Yun Qi has always known that there was something fishy about Queen An’s death!
It seems that the Yunqi in front of me is the real Yunqi!
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian suddenly laughed! After all these years, it turns out that the eldest prince has never been stupid!
So, who is the person who has been really stupid all these years?
