After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Qin Xiaoning left the Gu family's main hall and met Sun Mengli when she walked to the second door.

This was the first time Qin Xiaoning had seen her since the Gu family came to Beijing.

Sun Mengli was very thin and haggard, with a pale face, and she looked completely lifeless. She was completely different from the cheerful northwestern woman she had met in the Gu family's old house before.

Fortunately, this was at Gu's house. If she saw this person on the street, she would never recognize him.

Sun Mengli had just had a miscarriage, so she should be resting in the house, but now he is here, as if he is waiting for her on purpose.

"Princess--" Sun Mengli hesitated for a moment and finally called Qin Xiaoning like this.

Qin Xiaoning walked towards her, glancing at her haggard and pale face, she sighed slightly: "How did you get yourself into this state?"

Although Zhang was also haggard, she was a noble lady after all, so it was understandable that she could not bear the decline and decadence. But Sun Mengli was different, she was a Northwest woman, she was able to cross mountains and mountains to deliver life-saving dry food and drinks to her lover, even men could not catch up.

She is indestructible.

Sun Mengli just shook her head slightly, and finally, she explained: "Princess, please don't blame me for being abrupt. I am waiting for you here, but I just want to see my old friend before I die."

Qin Xiaoning frowned, "Such sad words should not come out of your mouth. In the past, you were able to survive so many difficulties. You went to see Gu Jianshen with dry food on your back, even things that men could not do. Even now, my prince often mentions your bravery."

Sun smiled bitterly: "So what? Everyone has to die. Not to mention me, even kings, princes, generals and ministers have to die too."

"Yes, no one can escape death." Qin Xiaoning said, "But not at this time. If we die, it should be when we are very old, so old that we can't even lift our legs."

Sun Mengli smiled, with the corners of her mouth pulled up, and that smile made her face look even paler, but it was obvious that she was not just trying to please Qin Xiaoning, but was smiling from the bottom of her heart.

She said, "Thank you. I have no relatives here and feel lonely. In fact, I have always wanted to talk to you, but I am of low status and cannot freely enter and leave this high gate."

She did not complain about the world, but just calmly described her situation. At the end, she sighed: "In the past, although I was not free, I always had hope. It was not until I lost my child that I realized that the hope in my heart was nothing but a mirage."

Qin Xiaoning felt a lump in her throat when she heard this.

Fortunately, Gu Jianshen came in from outside at this time. When he saw Sun Mengli, he hurried over and said, "Why don't you just stay in the room and rest."

There was concern on his face, and it could be seen that he truly loved Sun Mengli.

"I was so bored. I knew the princess was coming, so I wanted to talk to her here." Sun Mengli didn't even look at Gu Jianshen, but just replied indifferently.

Qin Xiaoning advised her, "It's windy outside, go back inside. If you feel bored, when you're well, let Marquis Gu take you to my house for a walk."

Sun Mengli said nothing, just nodded.

Qin Xiaoning left Gu's house and just walked to the gate of the mansion, she saw a bright yellow carriage waiting there.

"It's the carriage from Prince Xian's palace." said the coachman outside.

Qin Xiaoning ordered: "Stop, I'll get off and take a look." The coachman shouted and stopped the carriage. As soon as Qin Xiaoning got off the carriage, she saw the Princess of Prince Xian coming towards her.

The blind date princess looked anxious and cautious. When she hurriedly approached her, she seemed to not know what to say. After hesitating for a while, she said to her, "I heard that you went out with the Duke's wife? They said you would not be back today."

After saying this, she seemed to have calmed down a little, and continued: "I heard that you were not in the mansion, so I was about to leave, but I thought it would be better to wait. I didn't expect that I would wait for you to come back like this."

She spoke softly, and Qin Xiaoning had to admit that her words and actions were actually very similar to that of this princess.

It's just that the other party has always been protected too well, while she has had a rough life since childhood, living under the care of others. She looks weak on the surface, but she is actually a bit cruel at heart.

If she hadn't had the previous ordeal, she would have really grown up to be a woman like this princess, gentle from the inside out, truly naive about worldly affairs, and unaware of the dangers and sufferings of the world.

"I was going to spend the night with my mother-in-law in the villa, but I had something to do today, so I came back early." She replied, and then invited, "Sorry to have kept you waiting here for a long time. Please come into the mansion and talk."

She was just being polite, but the wife of the virtuous prince seemed flattered and kept repeating, "Don't bother me, don't bother me. As long as you are willing to see me, I can wait as long as you want."

She was so emotional that tears even welled up in her eyes.

She is so weak and pitiful that even if people are angry with her, they can never vent their anger on her.

Qin Xiaoning invited them to Qingsong Garden, but after only one night away from home, the two children were so excited when they saw Qin Xiaoning that they opened their hands and kept shouting, "Mommy, hug me, mommy, hug me."

It was the first time that Princess Xian saw her two grandchildren. She became excited again, her eyes sparkled, tears welled up in them, and her expression was very complicated.

Qin Xiaoning held one of them in her arms, and the princess was so surprised that the tears in her eyes suddenly fell. Qin Xiaoning pretended not to see it and held the other one, reminding the princess: "The nurse said that she hasn't peed for a while. Be careful when holding her, don't let her pee on you."

"It's okay, it's okay." The princess replied repeatedly, then wiped away her tears, looked at the child in her arms without blinking, and asked Qin Xiaoning: "The children are seven or eight months old now, right?"

Qin Xiaoning nodded: "Seven months and twenty days old, he can already speak, and can walk with the help of something."

Upon hearing this, the princess said "OK" twice repeatedly and her tears couldn't stop flowing out.

The wet nurse came over to take the children to be fed, and Qin Xiaoning ordered the little maid, "Bring two cups of 'Xue Ding Han Cui' that the empress dowager gave me a few days ago."

The maid took the order and left. After a while, she came back with a cup of fragrant tea. Qin Xiaoning said politely, "Try this. It tastes quite good."

The Princess of Xian agreed again.

Seeing her tearful appearance, Qin Xiaoning felt that it was not strange. She took a sip of tea and said, "You don't have to feel guilty about me. Look, I'm living a good life now."

As soon as she said this, Princess Xian cried even harder and couldn't get up.

"A Ning, I am sorry for you." She said, "I hate myself. How could I be so useless that I actually lost the child's child? A Ning, I hate myself." (End of this chapter)
