Chapter 391
In less than half an hour, Yun Zhao, who had just returned to sit down, heard Suxi say that Concubine Ping was seriously injured.

She didn't quite understand, and with a flick of her fingers, the tea overflowed and wet her sleeves.

Yun Zhao took the veil and wiped it off, then asked, "Why did you get hurt...?"

Could there be assassins in this palace?

But all right, even if there were assassins, it would not be their turn to assassinate Concubine Ping.

It was not that Yun Zhao looked down on Concubine Ping in this matter, but felt that there was an emperor in this palace, and if there was an assassination, he could only go there.

As for Concubine Ping, she seemed to have nothing to use.

The words are harsh, but it is the truth.

Su Xi continued, "Wanmei wanted to keep the Eighth Prince, but Concubine Ping naturally didn't want to. First, there was a disagreement between words, and then she made a move."

"Although the nuns stopped them, they couldn't stop them. When the two were separated, their faces were scratched."

"The Eighth Prince was also very frightened. He fainted at that time, and now he is still fainting, and the imperial doctor has already watched him."

Su Xi paused, then said, "The Empress has also passed."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, stood up and straightened his sleeves, and then said, "Let's go and have a look."

Discord between concubines should be managed by the empress.

It wasn't a big deal at first, the queen just needed to send someone over to take a look at the two sides to appease each other.

It's just that the Eighth Prince has fainted and hasn't woken up yet, and the two of them don't seem to be able to calm down simply by comforting them, so the queen went there in person.

When Yun Zhao passed by, Cuiwei Palace was quiet.

Concubine Ping did not leave, but sat on the side, covering her eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing softly.

She also wore a veil on her face, and scratches were faintly visible.

Even the arm that was not covered by the sleeve had some red marks, obviously not long ago the fight with Wanmei was particularly fierce.

Concubine Ping was still complaining about her grievances to the queen, but when she caught a glimpse of Yun Zhao coming in from the corner of her eye, her voice froze for a moment.

She pursed her lips, wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief, and then sat upright, waiting for the Queen's disposal.

She could kneel and beg for mercy in front of the emperor, making a pitiful gesture, and she could do the same in front of others.

But in front of Yun Zhao alone, she doesn't want to show her humbleness in every possible way.

The two used to be very different.

But now the distance is getting farther and farther away.

Concubine Ping felt a little sad when she thought of this, but soon, these sad emotions disappeared.

She can't go back to the past, and she can't go back to the past.

It's not good for her to always think about the past. What she should do is grab what she has and look forward to the future.

She used to be the Princess of Chu State, with this status, her future life will not be bad.

Concubine Ping settled down, lowered her eyes and no longer thought about things that had nothing to do with her.

In any case, she could only look forward.

What she has, and what she can have, is not enough to make her wishful thinking.

Concubine Ping looked out the door, thinking of the Eighth Prince.

If this child was her own, she would have thought of fighting, but she wasn't.

The eighth prince was adopted by her, but he still has a biological mother after all.

If there is no biological mother...

Ever since she lost her pregnancy, Wanmei has been in a bad mood. I heard that she always sleeps less at night, and she doesn't eat well on weekdays.

If things go on like this, the body will definitely be deficient.

In fact, she... is not a bad heart, it's just a matter of time, Wanmei's body is deficient, and she won't live long.

Rather than make her suffer for the rest of her life, it is better for her to help her end this pain.

With such a mother, the Eighth Prince will not be able to get well in the future.

Mothers in the world are always willing to sacrifice for their children.

So thinking about it, Wanmei is also willing to do this last thing for the Eighth Prince.

The queen beckoned and asked Yun Zhao to sit over, then ordered someone to pour tea, and then looked at Wanmei, "Why did you do it?"

Wanmei sneered, "I want my child back, what's wrong?"

Queen: "..."

She was speechless for a moment.

The child was indeed born by Wanmei, but it was indeed raised by Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping looked at the queen aggrieved, then glanced at Yun Zhao, gritted her teeth and said, "If Miss Wanmei wants to see her child often, I am willing to bring the eighth prince to visit every day. Besides... I would like to invite the empress call the shots."

The queen stretched out her hand and pressed the center of her eyebrows hard.

Naturally, she couldn't return the eighth prince to Wanmei. After all, this was arranged by the emperor, and with the status of concubine Ping, she couldn't change it.

So the queen waved her hand and asked people to go to the emperor, and then appease Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping understood what the empress meant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were reddish and tears were seeping out, she looked very pitiful.

Wanmei stood up suddenly, and ran in front of Concubine Ping frantically.

The two nuns behind her gained experience and pulled her back.

But the Wanmei who went crazy, obviously cannot be held back by the two nuns.

In addition, the nuns should not use too much force, for fear of really hurting Wanmei.

So after a while, Wanmei appeared in front of Concubine Ping and raised her hand to slap her.

Concubine Ping stood up in panic and ran out, Wanmei followed behind, followed by a group of palace servants.

There was so much commotion and movement in the hall, Yun Zhao stared blankly, not knowing where to look first.

The queen stretched out her hand to rest her forehead, when she heard a presumptuous sound from the door.

It was Shouan's voice.

Followed by, there is a very loud slap.

And Shouan knelt down with a "plop", shouting for help and apology.

Yun Zhao: "?"

Kneeling on the ground outside, Yun Zhao naturally couldn't sit down so peacefully.

She stood up and walked over to salute, and when she looked up, she saw the obvious slap marks on the emperor's face.

The emperor's face was dark, and he looked at the imprisoned Wanmei with cold eyes.

Yun Zhao: "..."

The queen coughed lightly, and spoke for Wanmei, "Wanmei has lost her child, and her behavior will inevitably be inappropriate. If your majesty wants to punish, it must not be too much."

Shou'an lowered his head, not daring to speak at this moment.

He had been with His Majesty for so many years, and it was the first time he saw a woman other than the Empress Dowager dare to attack His Majesty.

And there is still a reason for the empress to do it.

Wanmeiren... Based on his understanding of His Majesty... Anyway, Wanmeiren will definitely not be able to please her.

"Since I'm crazy, what are you going to do? Find a place and lock her up. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach her."

Hearing this, Concubine Ping suddenly raised her head, surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She was still thinking about how to deal with Wanmei, but she didn't have many people under her command, and she didn't know what the status of Wanmei was in His Majesty's heart.

If you are lucky enough to leave no traces, that's fine, but if you leave traces...

His Majesty may treat her as ignorant because of her identity, but her life will be difficult in the future.

Now that she doesn't need to do anything, Wanmei has already been rejected and imprisoned.

Concubine Ping lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile, then she walked to the emperor's side with concern, reached out her hand and gently touched the emperor's slapped half of his face with a handkerchief.

The emperor wanted to dodge subconsciously, but for some reason, he paused and did not dodge.

Yun Zhao came here to see if there was anything she could do to help, but the whole process was just a mere spectator.

The queen was too lazy to stay and look at that face, so she took Yun Zhao's hand and left.

The emperor was about to speak out, but Concubine Ping had already held his arm and placed it over her heart, "Your Majesty, I am really scared today."

The emperor still regarded Concubine Ping seriously, even if he knew that she was faking it, he would not expose it, so he looked at the empty place for a long time, and went to Concubine Ping's palace.

The eighth prince just woke up, the emperor stared at it for a while and frowned, and asked someone to carry the eighth prince into the side hall.

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Concubine Ping couldn't help but thump in her heart.

Your Majesty... don't like the Eighth Prince?
Although Wanmei is out of favor now, and I'm afraid she won't be favored again in the future, but it's not like the previous favors didn't exist.

As for?He even hated his own son.

Concubine Ping felt apprehensive, but really felt uneasy.

After she put in so much effort, she definitely didn't want to raise a child who was rejected by His Majesty by her side.

"Your Majesty hasn't come here for a long time, and I don't even know that Jin'er can recite a lot of poems now."

The emperor held the teacup in his hand, and saw the green tea leaves floating in the tea with his eyes downcast. He glanced impatiently at Concubine Ping, "I don't have time today, let's talk about it another day."

Concubine Ping looked at the emperor, and she couldn't help retracting her curled hands into her sleeves, and her heart sank bit by bit.

Yun Zhao returned to the East Palace, and began to think about his brother's return.

Staying here is not a long-term plan.

Ask Xiao Changyin... He seemed to be planning something, Yun Zhao rested his chin on his hands, and couldn't figure out why after thinking for a long time.

When Xiao Changyin came in, he saw her leaning against the window with her chin resting.

He waved his hand, motioning the palace attendant to leave, and then he took off his coat and put it on the screen, asking, "Yi, how is today?"

Qiuyue said simply.

Xiao Changyin nodded, and asked Qiuyue and several palace attendants to go out, then walked to the window.

Yun Zhao turned around and blinked, just as he got up but his shoulder was held down.

"In two or three days, we will send brother off together."

Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Two or three days?"

She looked at the man suspiciously, and her tone was unconsciously strange. Based on her understanding of him, these words must be a certainty and had already been arranged.

So two or three days later, is something going to happen again?

She couldn't help holding onto the corner of the man's clothes worriedly, and asked softly, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Changyin took advantage of the situation and took her hand, held it and rubbed it carefully, "It's nothing serious, but my brother will return to Yunguo safely."

He sat down, looked at her level, and said seriously, "Zhao Zhao, you trust me."

Yun Zhao pursed his lips, knowing that the most important thing he should do at this time was to respond to him and tell him that she believed in him.

The relationship between the two is good, whether it is pretending or not, it is obvious that the relationship between Bei Xiao and Yun Guo is good.

This is also her responsibility.

But she pushed the man away, her eyes were clear, "Actually, you don't need to do these things."

It's not that Yun Zhao didn't think about it from his perspective, putting himself in his shoes, if she were him, she wouldn't do much better than him.

But that's just putting yourself in the shoes, she's not him.

It is impossible for her to forgive what he did from his point of view, and it is impossible for her to forgive herself from his point of view.

When she was in a daze, her hand was held again. Xiao Changyin seemed to be thinking for a while, and said in a low voice, "In two days, the palace will be more chaotic."

Yun Zhao unconsciously looked at him, frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

He caressed her face, with extremely obscure emotions in his eyes, "A few words, I can't make it clear for a while, but don't worry, I won't hurt you again."

Yun Zhao felt strange when he heard this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.

And when her eyes touched his hot emotion, she unconsciously turned her head and wanted to look away.

"I, I remembered, I said I would go and see one by one."

Panicked, she got up abruptly and was about to leave.

But the man grabbed her sleeve, not giving her a chance to escape, "Together."

Yun Zhao looked at him for a while, confused and bewildered emotions intertwined in his eyes, finally nodded and went out with him.

Xiao Changyin was busy for a few days, so it can be said that Yunzhao didn't see him much every day when he left early and returned late.

After finally finding time, Qiuyue thought that the two masters wanted to spend some time alone.

Seeing the two people come out at this time, he was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess..."

Xiao Changyin shook his head, signaling to everyone not to follow.

Xiao Yandi was very obedient in the side hall, flipping through the book by himself. Although he is young, he is smart, and he can already read quite a few words.

There are literate palace people by his side, if he encounters someone he doesn't know, he will know when he asks.

……

On the other side, the imprisoned Wanmei fainted because of her physical discomfort and was released temporarily.

She opened her eyes soberly, rolled her eyeballs, thought of something, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

"Beauty, Your Majesty has said that you are allowed to rest in this palace, and you are not allowed to go out without His Majesty's permission."

Wanmei lowered her eyes, suddenly looked at the nanny sadly, and then began to count her sad things these days.

The baby in my stomach is gone, and it will be very difficult to get pregnant again in the future...

Probably these words came from her heart, so Mammy felt very uncomfortable hearing them.

But it's uncomfortable, she can't disobey her order and let Wanmei out.

However, at this time, Wanmei suddenly pulled out the sharp hairpin from her bun and put it on her neck, saying that if she was not allowed to see His Majesty, she would splatter blood on the spot.

The nuns were a little shocked, thinking of the way Wanmei was favored in the past, they hesitated and sent someone to find the emperor.

Shou'an listened to Mammy's words and was silent for a while before going in to report.

After a while, the emperor went to Cuiwei Palace.

Shou'an was guarding outside, at first he thought he would hear Wanmei's quarrel, but it was very quiet inside.

It was so quiet that he felt a little weird, so he poked his head and ears against the wall to listen.

Before hearing the movement inside, the door was opened from the inside.

The emperor came out and frowned slightly seeing Shou An's movements before he could take back, "What's wrong?"
