My Princess Has Been Reborn - Chapter 99
After returning from the Donggong Palace, Lu Qipei had a good talk with Qi Yang. She assuredly said that the prince would not find anything, Qi Yang was also at a loss from the beginning, and gradually calmed down.
For the next period of time, the East Palace was very calm, as if the thorough temptation of that day had never existed.
Qi Yang was worried for a while, seeing everything as usual, he really let go. But because the prince knew about these things, even if they were not verified, once he became suspicious, Qi Yang would no longer be able to trust him as before.
On the other hand, Lu Qipei also took the time to return to the Lu family to remind Qi Bo to restrain everyone and not to let the prince grab the handle. At this point, even if Qi Bo was still resentful and dissatisfied with Lu Qipei, he still implemented it well. And Qi Bo’s execution ability, Lu Qipei, never doubted, after all, he was the one who could keep his influence under Xie Yuan, so that he had to plot north!
At the beginning of August, King Wu was finally found, but unfortunately he is no longer what he was when he left Beijing in high spirits.
What Mingzhou sent back to the capital was a coffin. The people in the coffin are wearing brocade robes and crowns, but their bodies have gone through blisters and long-distance transportation in this hot weather. They have long been corrupted.
It is said that Princess Wu opened the coffin and saw it, crying so hard that she became seriously ill afterwards. However, there are also rumors that the body of King Wu was too corrupt, and that Princess Wu was vomited and frightened again, which made her fall ill. But in any case, Prince Wu’s Mansion did lose its master, and the emperor’s son was just like that, one less.
The emperor didn’t value the other princes except the prince, but after all, they were all the emperor’s parents and children. Even if he was prepared for the news that King Wu was being rushed by the flood beforehand, he was still heartbroken when he heard the news of his son’s death.
It happened that an autumn rain in August dispelled the summer heat that had lasted in Beijing, and the emperor fell ill inadvertently.
After all, it is an elderly person who cannot withstand the toss of illness. Don’t look at the prince who has been ill during the past three years. He has to stay in bed to recuperate for a while, but he is young and can slowly recuperate after he is well. The emperor was different. It was obviously just a minor illness, but it seemed to destroy his health, making the originally energetic people gradually appear old.
Qi Yang had always been keen on the emperor, but when it came time, she couldn’t help but worry: “Today I went to the palace to see him. Looking at the emperor, his eyes seemed to be a bit less brilliance than before, and there were silver threads in his hair. “
While she was speaking, she looked at Lu Qipei, with worries and fragility in her eyes that she had never noticed.
Lu Qipei hugged her and patted her back lightly as if soothing, but there was no more comfort to say-people are born, old, sick, and die. No one can stop this, even if you are the emperor and rich in the world. What’s more, the emperor has nothing to do now. He is just sick and getting older. He will still be old day by day.
Qi Yang naturally understood this truth, and after worrying about it for a few days, and after asking the emperor of the imperial physician to be well, he gradually let go of his mind. Only after a while, she ran to the Palace of the Xuan Room more, but went to the East Palace less.
The emperor was aware of this, and one day he smiled and shook Qi Yang’s hand and said: “The emperor is the most intimate. I am sick, and everyone runs diligently. When I recover from my illness, one by one will disappear again. The emperor always thinks about me, and even your emperor brother has gone less recently.”
When Qi Yang heard this, his heart was slightly stagnant, and he immediately smiled: “Where is my father? My sons and ministers used to go to the East Palace frequently, but because the emperor is weak and always sick. Now the father is sick, of course he is better than the emperor. More important.”
The emperor laughed after hearing her remarks, and only believed a few points, or whether he believed it or not, it was beyond the imagination of others. He raised his hand and touched his daughter’s temples, and said: “Your emperor is kind and self-denying, and he will be a wise monarch in the future. You have been close to him since you were a child. This is a kind of affection that no one else can exchange. Little things, you share with him.”
Qi Yang raised his eyes in a daze, and then met the emperor as if he knew everything, but with a warm look. Suddenly, she felt sore in her heart. All the grievances and knots in the previous life seemed to disappear at this moment.
The emperor saw her eyes a little red, he was startled, and laughed again: “Why, you have been wronged? Don’t hide the emperor if you are really wronged, now there is still the father and you in charge, if the prince makes you wronged Yes, I will scold him for you!”
Qi Yang couldn’t help but laugh again, as if time had returned to a young age. But she also knew in her heart that this kind of warmth only existed for this moment, and she was broken by herself after a while: “No, the emperor didn’t make me wronged. It’s just that there was some misunderstanding between me and the emperor. It’s a bit unpleasant… I can’t hide anything from my father.”
The emperor didn’t ask the specific reason, and after a few words at random, he pushed Qi Yang and said, “Go and tell your emperor brother earlier, so that it won’t take a long time to really create suspicions.”
After this conversation, the emperor seemed really old and started to care about everything for his children.
Qi Yang felt ashamed that after coming out of the Xuanshi Hall, he still went to the East Palace.
At this time, it was less than half a month since the previous showdown of the prince. According to the frequency that Qi Yang entered the palace in the past, she only came to the East Palace one or two times less than usual. In the meantime, the emperor was sick, and no one else could see that she was alienated from Donggong.
But they were bystanders. Qi Yang and the prince, who were the parties involved, naturally understood that their brothers and sisters had been separated from each other since that day-not only their brothers and sisters knew it well, but even the emperor saw it. Maybe the time is longer and others can see it, but fortunately, the emperor reminded them that the two brothers and sisters would not drift away.
In the front hall of the East Palace, the prince was discussing with several ministers, and he did not show any difference when he saw Qi Yang’s arrival.
The prince sent away a few staff at will, and the prince greeted Qi Yang as usual: “The imperial sister is here, sit down. Recently, my father’s dragon body is insecure. You may not have been here for a long time. You just came from the palace hall today, right? ?”
Qi Yang nodded, seeing the crown prince’s face unchanged, and then sat down peacefully.
The maid of the East Palace quickly brought tea and snacks, and was immediately repatriated by the prince waved, and suddenly there were only two of them in the huge front hall. This time even Lu Qipei was not there, and the two brothers and sisters were able to talk frankly and honestly.
The prince held the tea and did not drink it. The slightly hot temperature passed through the tea cup, warming his somewhat cold palms after the fall: “The emperor is here today, I must have something to say to the lonely.”
Qi Yang didn’t drink tea either, and the gesture of holding the tea cup was the same as that of the prince: “No matter what the emperor thinks, I believe in cohorts.”
Her straightforward words made the prince startled. The prince wanted to laugh but couldn’t laugh. When talking about business matters, he took a serious face and said to her in a rare and solemn tone: “The imperial sister is so emotional and disappointed.”
To be honest, Qi Yang was almost brought up by the prince. He taught her to read and learn how to write, and to teach her the principles of essays. He spent even more effort than his own children. And the more you pay, the greater your expectations. Seeing Qi Yang estranged from the East Palace recently, the prince was already disappointed because of her children’s love. Now that I hear her opening, I don’t have to mention my mood.
Qi Yang suddenly felt heavier when he saw the disappointment in the eyes of the prince. But there are some things she has to say, and some things can’t escape, so she still straightened her back and said: “I am not using emotions. Today I am here to reason with the emperor brother.”
When the prince heard this, his face eased a lot: “Then you say, listen alone.”
Qi Yang stared at the prince, his bright black eyes frankly and purely: “I don’t know where the emperor brother found Xie Yuan’s news, but it is unwise to suspect the prince in this way. You don’t need to mention the looks of her and Xie Hongyi, I’ve seen this too, but besides that, can the emperor see what the husband has done to be unfaithful to the emperor, to the detriment of the country, or to hinder you and me?”
Hearing the words, the prince was dumb, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: “I don’t know. Maybe she didn’t do it, maybe I didn’t find it.”
When Qi Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but twitched his mouth: “Brother Emperor didn’t find out, so he suspected people first?” After finishing speaking, he didn’t wait for the prince to say anything, and continued: “Brother Emperor needs to know, people in this world have acquaintances. , It’s not surprising. Even if the horse and Xie Yuan of Rongguo were born exactly the same, what can it explain? In this world, there may be someone born exactly like you and me.”
The prince was not easy to refute this. His suspicion was inherent to the royal people, and Qi Yang should have it, but she was completely blinded by feelings now. However, the prince was not an arbitrary person, and he spoke suddenly that day. In fact, it was mostly for temptation.
Unfortunately, Lu Qipei was too stable, he didn’t try anything out, but Qi Yang couldn’t calm down first.
At this moment, the prince faced Qi Yang’s questioning, and he had a headache. At the same time, he still felt a little unbelievable: “Even if I didn’t show evidence, but the emperor sister, have you really doubted the messenger? Nothing at all?”
Qi Yang shook his head, his face full of confidence: “No, nothing at all.”
The prince stared at Qi Yang for a long while, and naturally saw that what she said was true, but he still felt unbelievable. Qi Yang was taught by him personally, and he was the most like him. He thought she would face anyone calmly. anything.
Of course the prince at this time would not know what kind of waiting and searching Qi Yang had experienced, and what desperate loss he had experienced. When you think that you are hopeless, you lose and regain it. Such cherishment is beyond the control of your mind. Fortunately, she met Lu Qipei, a glorious Jiyue, and Lu Qipei who was at a loss for her. She would never use her, let alone betray her.
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other in silence, and Qi Yang suddenly said, “Brother Huang, have you forgotten that before we talked about Xie Yuan that day, the husband was reminding you to pay attention to your own safety. She has never been wicked towards you.”
The prince was dumb, and the doubt in his heart might not have subsided, but he also knew that Qi Yang was right. At least at this moment, Lu Qipei not only did not harm him, but did everything possible to help him protect him in the past few years, and his proposal that day was even more selfish.
The emperor was right that the prince would be a benevolent gentleman, so he couldn’t be as fierce as he could not let his mistakes go.
After a long time, he sighed: “Perhaps you are right.”
