Chapter 218 Facts Informed
"He is the husband of the imperial sister, and Yongning's favorite man. I can't let him have trouble."

"What?" Murong Xiu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Yongning, you mean to let me let him go? You want to save his life, but have you ever thought that if Murong Sheng wins in the future, Will he ask Murong Sheng to spare your life? Yongning, don't you understand? Qi Chen doesn't like you at all, you like him, but he never liked you. "

"These royal girls know." Princess Yongning said quietly after lowering her head for a while.

Such a peaceful Princess Yongning made Murong Xiu speechless for a moment.

"I know that Yinzhi has never liked me, and this has always been just my wishful thinking. But he picked up paper kites for me and planted a garden full of sycamores. I also believe that one day he will like me. So I learned from him The head of the family settles accounts, learns to sew and embroider, for him I can humbly serve tea, and take famous calligraphy and paintings to honor my in-laws." Princess Yongning smiled sadly, and tears flowed down.

"But after doing all this, I found that there is no difference. Yinzhi still treats me lukewarm. Maybe a long time ago, I knew that no matter what I did, Yinzhi would not like me. But now it is too late , He is my husband, and I will do my best to keep him and not let him die. So the imperial sister begged the imperial brother to promise me, just this one time, just this one time."

Seeing Princess Yongning cry, and knowing that he paid too little attention to this younger sister since she was a child, which made her develop a domineering personality, Murong Xiu also felt sorry.

After a long time, Murong Xiu let go and said: "I promise you, but only this time." After speaking, he opened the door and left, leaving only Princess Yongning who was crying all the time.

When Princess Yongning returned to Qi's house, her tears had been wiped away without a trace, and she had become that noble and proud princess again.

"Princess, you are back." The terrified servant girl held the pattern and handed it to the woman respectfully, "This is the pattern sent by Nanny Gui. She said that it was chosen by the eldest lady. They are all patterns of your beloved phoenix tree. .”

"Really? My princess, take a look." Princess Yongning looked down at the exquisite flowers. The golden sycamore leaves fell with the wind and scattered all over the ground. Some of them were blown by the autumn wind to the long steps beside them, fluttering leisurely It is truly beautiful.

But the woman frowned and said: "Beautiful is beautiful, but the branches are already bare, and they are still standing alone in the wind. It's too unsightly. Let's change to another one."

The servant girl took the flower and said: "But princess, it's autumn now, the leaves of the sycamore tree are withered and yellow, and they will fall off, and the branches are all bare."

Although it was just an unintentional remark of the maidservant, the woman couldn't help being stunned. Looking out of the window at the sycamore trees in the garden, the leaves were already withered and yellow, and had already fallen down, leaving only the crooked trunk and the tree with irregular pimples. , uneven tree trunk.

That's right, it's already autumn, and the sycamore trees have begun to wither, but I haven't noticed it before.

But the woman still said: "What about autumn? It was summer when my princess and Yinzhi met, and sycamore leaves seldom fell off. How can I use this unlucky pattern to make clothes for my princess's children and change them for another one."

"Yes." The servant girl had no choice but to obey orders and retreat.

Princess Yongning had just sat down and had a few sips of tea when she saw a maid hurriedly passing by with a lunch box.

Originally, Princess Yongning wouldn't take it to heart, but the lunch box was covered with dirt, and there was a faint smell of rancid water. The sour smell made Princess Yongning frowned, and said sharply: "What's going on? Dare to pass by the door of this princess with rotten food."

The servant girl immediately knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy: "Princess, please calm down. This servant just wanted to send the food away quickly, but I didn't want to disturb the princess. This servant deserves to die."

The sour smell of rancid water was unbearable even for the maid, and she just wanted to send it away quickly, because the road in front of Princess Yongning's room was a short cut, so she picked up the lunch box and walked over, but forgot that Princess Yongning was in the room.

"Send it away? Where do you want to send it? Could it be that there are still people eating this food?" Princess Yongning would definitely be furious, but because she just met Murong Xiu today, she was in an inexplicable bad mood, and she didn't bother to argue with these maids.

"This..." The servant girl was speechless for a moment.

Princess Yongning's expression froze, "What? How dare you refuse to answer this princess' question to you? Or is there some shady secret?"

The servant girl looked even more terrified, "I dare not, how can I dare to hide any secrets from the princess? It's just that the servant girl wants to deliver the meal to a certain place. This is the task assigned by the mother."

"Really? Where do you want to send it? Is it possible that someone really eats this rotten thing?" Princess Yongning asked casually.

But the servant girl replied seriously: "There is a person, who is in the firewood room. It seems that he has been imprisoned for a long time. The disheveled, often talking crazy, is a crazy woman."

"Imprisoned? Is anyone still imprisoned in our yard?"

"This servant doesn't know either. The servant is just delivering food. I have to ask the mother for details." The servant girl answered truthfully.

Princess Yongning got up on the spur of the moment when she heard the words, she stood up and said: "Someone is still imprisoned in our yard, it happens that the princess has nothing to do, so I might as well go and have a look."

The servant girl hurriedly stopped her and said: "Princess, wait a minute, that crazy woman starts to bite people at every turn, and often yells and cries. This servant girl is afraid that I will bump into your noble body."

"It's okay, it's better for my princess to stay away when the time comes. Besides, my princess is a rich man, that person dares to make trouble in front of her." Princess Yongning didn't think so, and walked out of the room.

The servant girl had no choice but to stand up quickly and lead the way for Princess Yongning.

When she arrived in front of a very remote firewood house, Princess Yongning heard a shrill scream, and then a disheveled woman lay in front of the window, shaking the wooden window vigorously, and said hysterically: "Let Madam Ben go out, Qi Chen, you dare to imprison Mrs. Ben but dare not kill me. What kind of man are you? If you have the ability to let Mrs. Ben out, you only dare to make things difficult for a mere girl. What kind of skill are you?"

This roar scared Princess Yongning into a fright, and she stood at a distance in front of the window, carefully discerning this appearance.Due to eating sour food for many days, this woman's face was already pale and thin, and it was no longer as bright and attractive as before.

But relying on this voice, Princess Yongning recognized it, and exclaimed: "Wang...Wang Rongxin?"

The unkempt woman immediately stopped shouting, and looked at the beautiful woman in the distance in surprise, "Princess Yongning, heh, I didn't expect my young lady to see you again. How are you doing this time?"

Princess Yongning sneered, "Oh, my princess is doing well, but looking at you, it seems that you are not doing well."

"Isn't all of this because of Qi Chen? If Qi Chen hadn't imprisoned my young lady here, would this young lady have become like this?" Wang Rongxin gritted his teeth in hatred, and said while holding the wooden window sill tightly.

"Resentment Yinzhi? Why did Yinzhi imprison you here? You must pay attention to evidence in your words, and you can't spout blood." Princess Yongning defended Qi Chen.

Wang Rongxin had a crazy smile on his face, "It's not important why Qi Chen wants to imprison Mrs. Ben here. The important thing is that the Wang family will definitely pick up Mrs. Ben, and Mrs. Ben is waiting here. , waiting to escape from this Qi family."

Princess Yongning opened her eyes wide, as if looking at a crazy woman, and said after a while: "Wang Rongxin, you are really crazy. The Wang family has been ransacked and beheaded a while ago, and there is no one left. How could you come to pick you up?"

Looking at Wang Rongxin's shocked eyes, Princess Yongning continued: "As the daughter of the Wang family, don't you know about this? Didn't your father send someone to ask about your situation? If you want to pick you up, you should have picked you up long ago." Let's go, why make you wait for so many days? You, you were obviously abandoned by the Wang family, and no one even told you about the extermination of the whole family?"

"No, it's impossible." Wang Rongxin seemed to be really crazy, with an uncontrollable crazily smile on the corner of his mouth, but tears fell from his eyes, making his already dirty face even more messy, which made people feel disgusted , and began to yell hysterically: "How could the Wang family be destroyed? Our Wang family controls the power of the Imperial Academy and is highly valued by the prince. How could it be possible to be executed by the whole family. You must have lied to me. Liar."

Looking at the crazy woman in the firewood room, Princess Yongning couldn't help sneering, and said leisurely: "Whether this princess has lied to you, you know in your heart. Didn't you just say that you were locked up here by Yinzhi? That princess I can tell you that Yinzhi has never mentioned you. Obviously, Yinzhi has forgotten you. As for why he forgot, it was because the Wang family was destroyed. People mentioned you again, so you have been forgotten, and you have been imprisoned here for a while. But you are so ridiculous that you think the Wang family will come to pick you up, Wang Rongxin, it turns out that you have always been so ridiculous, so pitiful."

Wang Rongxin finally calmed down, sat back on the ground weakly, and murmured to himself with blank eyes: "Qi Chen has forgotten me here, so he didn't kill me, so he forgot. The Wang family didn't come Pick me up, even the people who imprisoned me have forgotten me, it turns out that I was really forgotten, completely forgotten.” There was a sad smile on the woman’s face, “My life seems to be very short. It's ridiculous. Before I married into the Qi family, I kept comparing myself with others. I didn't want to fall behind. After I married into the Qi family, my life was in such a mess that I was about to suffocate and go crazy. So from the beginning to the end, I was a madman."

"Haha——" Wang Rongxin looked up to the sky and laughed, "Crazy, crazy, all crazy, everyone in this world is crazy, they are all crazy. Hahaha, it was my fault for marrying into the Qi family, yes, I was crazy .”

Seeing this, the servant girl at the side was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind her body trembling.Princess Yongning looked at Wang Rongxin like this in a daze for a moment, and inexplicably had a bad premonition in her heart, and wanted to escape.

As soon as he turned around, Wang Rongxin's voice came from behind, "Princess Yongning, do you know why I was imprisoned here by Qi Chen? It doesn't matter if I tell you now, I know a secret, a secret about you. secret."

Seeing Princess Yongning turn around and staring at her, Wang Rongxin smiled even more flamboyantly, "Do you know why you are not pregnant? After drinking the medicine for so long, why didn't your stomach respond at all. Princess Yongning Ah, didn't you suspect that it was a problem with the medicine? Didn't you suspect that it was Qi Chen who made you unable to conceive? "

Wang Rongxin's voice seemed to be some kind of curse, lingering in Princess Yongning's ears, "It was Qi Chen, your favorite husband who made you unable to conceive. That medicine is actually a contraceptive pill, which prevents a woman from getting pregnant for the rest of her life." Medicine. Nanny Gui was ordered by Qi Chen to bring you medicine on time every day, so the child you have been expecting for a long time is probably just a dream, and the one who ruined this dream is the man you love the most. Hahaha, isn’t it? Ridiculous?"

Wang Rongxin laughed crazily, but Princess Yongning was stunned in place like a lightning strike, "Wang Rongxin, you are lying, so you won't do it."

"Am I lying? Princess, go down and investigate and you'll find out everything? Anyway, I'm just a lunatic, and what a lunatic says can't be trusted, but sometimes, you have to believe it. You said I was right. Isn't that right, Princess Yongning?" Wang Rongxin was still smiling, and Princess Yongning couldn't help but want to step forward and tear the smiling face.

After a long time, Princess Yongning came to her senses, turned around and left slowly.

In fact, Princess Yongning was somewhat convinced whether Wang Rongxin was right or not.After all, after drinking the medicine for so long, why is there no reaction at all.Even if I didn't drink this medicine, I should be pregnant.

She should have suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine, but she still couldn't believe it in her heart, she couldn't believe that it was done by Qi Chen, by her closest pillow person.

Glancing at Wang Rongxin who was still laughing crazily, Princess Yongning felt inexplicably heavy in her heart. She was so heavy that she could hardly breathe, but she still lifted her heavy steps and left slowly.

After returning to the room, Princess Yongning sat for a while, and then assigned her cronies brought from the palace to investigate the matter.

She had to investigate this matter completely, and she couldn't just listen to Wang Rongxin's one-sided words.

That night, the crazy woman in the wooden house took out the long rope that had already been packed, and walked around the high beams, stepped on the high stool, and put her head in the middle of the tied hemp rope.After a relaxed smile, he decisively kicked down the high stool, and hung himself in the middle of the damp and dark wooden house, waiting to be discovered by the little maid who delivered meals the next day.

After Qi Chen came back from the official department, it was already late at night the next day.When he saw a long thing wrapped in a straw mat passing by, and several servants were carrying this thing, panting and struggling to move forward.

"Wait, what's in here?"

Looking at Qi Chen not far away, the lead servant replied: "Master, this is the crazy woman in the wooden house, who was found hanged on the beam this morning."

"The crazy woman in the wooden house?" Qi Chen read aloud, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that this was Wang Rongxin who he had forgotten.

After the Wang family was destroyed, the affairs in the court became more complicated and messy. He plunged into the official documents, obeyed Murong Sheng's instructions, and forgot to deal with Wang Rongxin.Anyway, the Wang family was destroyed, and Wang Rongxin, the prostitute, was also dispensable.

"Then did she meet anyone before she died?"

"Probably not." The servant shook his head and said, "This wooden house is remote, except for the maids who deliver meals, few people pass by."

"That's good." Qi Chen looked disgusted, and said in a cold tone: "Throw this crazy woman into the mass grave, as far away as possible."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." After the servant responded, he and the others continued to carry the straw mats and left.

In Fusheng Pavilion, Cang Zhu reported what happened in Qi Mansion recently.

When it came to the news of Wang Rongxin's death, Cang Zhu couldn't help sighing a few times: "It's really pitiful. She used to be a good daughter of a family, but in the end she died under the forgetfulness of everyone, and she died like a crazy woman. It can be said that the world is impermanent."

"Cang Zhu, do you think it's okay to die as a lunatic?" Qi Ze asked seemingly casually, practicing calligraphy in his hands.

"Of course it's not good. If a lunatic dies, he will die in a dishonorable way. In the end, he is just wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave. Since he wants to come, he must come in a good manner. If he wants to leave, he must Walk in a dignified manner." Cang Zhu replied without thinking.

"A person's life is too short, so short that you have no time to do anything. You have passed away before leaving your trace in this world. Sometimes, the way you come and the way you go are not important, what is important It is someone who can remember you, remember that you have been here, and send you away. But Wang Rongxin, no one remembers her, and she passed away in the forgetfulness of everyone, so she looks pitiful and sad." Qi Ze put down his hand to practice calligraphy. He walked to the window and looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky outside, his eyes became more and more peaceful.

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with leaving as a lunatic. As long as you are relaxed, it is enough. Because this world is crazy, everyone is a lunatic deeply hidden, it is only when you are crazy When you arrive, you will become a lunatic in the eyes of the world. Although this world is crazy, it also has its charm, which makes you yearn for this world and make you believe in the beauty of this world. Even if the cruel truth is crushed and placed in front of you , you can't bear to leave, just because your future is very long, and this long future may be beautiful."

The man in indigo turned around slowly, his eyes were very calm, and in an instant, they were more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky.

After being dazed for a moment, Cang Zhu joked, "Master, when did you become so sentimental?"

"Sentimental?"

"Yeah." Cang Zhu nodded, then smiled and blinked and said, "But, what you said makes sense. As for you, master, you have always been sentimental. Haha, oops——"

Qi Ze threw down the pebble in his hand, and said calmly, "Go back and do the task."

"……Yes."

When Qi Ze walked out of the study, walked into the room, and was about to take off his outer clothes to sleep, he found a person lying on the bed.

That person's gorgeous and charming face became more and more refined under the moonlight, his eyes were lightly closed, and he was already sound asleep.
