"Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law … Brother-in-law … "Xiao Minglan called out Brother-in-law thrice. She was shocked at the beginning, then hesitant and unwilling to believe it. Finally, she was at a loss for words.
In a short period of time, Xiao Minglan seemed to have re-evaluated her life.
He couldn't be blamed for being so despondent. Who in the capital didn't know how deeply in love Eldest Princess Xiao Mingxue and her husband's consort were? It was a beautiful story. His gentle and generous brother-in-law also doted on his sister so much for twenty years. His brother-in-law also took good care of him because of his love for the house and its crow. Ever since they had a falling out because of that embarrassing matter, that good brother-in-law had personally come to the manor several times to earnestly persuade them, hoping that they could reconcile as before. Because of this, he felt guilty and could not sleep for many days and nights. He threw himself into a wine jar to torture himself, hoping that his conscience would be slightly better.
He did not expect it, he did not expect it at all.
Xiao Minglan climbed up from the ground numbly and staggered towards the door, "He treated Helui so well. He was afraid that she would fall in his hands and melt in his mouth. He watched Helui grow up from a young age. How could he bear it, how could he bear it … how could he bear it!!!"
Xiao Minglan's eyes were about to pop out. She let out an earth-shattering cry from the bottom of her throat. She slammed the door open and a dazzling light shone in from another world. It tore a big hole in the darkness and sorrow that was imprisoned in the hall. Then, it swallowed Xiao Minglan completely.
Seeing Xiao Minglan dashing out with her sword like a madman, Jiu Si hesitated whether to chase after her. Xiahou Qing slowly shook his head, "You can't stop her. No matter how hard you try, you can't stop her. Sixteen years of grievances, you can't escape today but you can't escape tomorrow. They have endured for so many years.
Jiu Si stopped in his tracks and could not help but shake his head and sigh, "Sixteen years without acting, this Prince Consort has really engraved the word 'endure' into his bones."
For almost six thousand days and nights, that Prince Consort looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly beside him. He looked at his daughter who grew up to be lively and adorable but had someone else's blood. No one knew what kind of entanglement he had in his heart. And when he saw the corpse of his daughter who called him "father" and leaned against his leg sweetly and coquettishly, and when he saw his wife break down overnight, did he ever feel a moment of regret?
No one was a winner in this war.
Xiao Minglan went crazy and Little Red Smoke followed her in tears. Prince Ke's residence was in a mess. In this chaos, the only one left was Xiahou Qing.
After leaving the Prince's mansion, Xiahou Qing suppressed his coughing for a long time. It was not until Jiusi fed him three times the dose of pills that he recovered some color. Ever since he saw the severed tongue, his body visibly became haggard. However, he forced himself to hold on and clenched his teeth, forcing himself not to fall. He must not fall!
Jiusi looked at him worriedly. He was careful not to expose his trembling chest. He said, "Heir Apparent, are you suspecting that Empress Zhou's daughter, Princess Mingjia, is not dead?"
That year, Xiao Mingcheng's wet nurse could change her appearance and hide in the palace for many years. Why couldn't Empress Zhou's only daughter do the same? Empress Zhou's ability and courage always exceeded their imagination.
Xiahou Qing leaned against the carriage and said tiredly, "Regardless of whether she survived or not, and regardless of whether she is the mastermind behind this, we will meet in the end. It is right in front of our eyes. Jiusi, do two things for me. First, inform the Fourth Prince's residence that Imperial Concubine Qi is dead. Second, spread the news that the Emperor is sick. I want the capital to be in chaos first. After doing these two things, wait for me at the Duke's residence. I want to see Princess Hexin. "
Jiusi was always loyal and silent. He accepted the order and left.
He turned and got off the carriage. Xiahou Qing lifted the curtain and called him back. His face was as white as paper. His thin lips said, "Jiusi, remember, what you hear may not be true. What you see may be false. From now on, don't listen to anything, don't believe anything. Follow your heart."
"Yes."
