Lady Changning

Chapter 159 Xi Lin belongs to Baoer (2)

Xi Changning left Hefu Palace alone with Helianbao's body on his back, and the palace people avoided on the way.Some kind palace people wanted to help her, but she didn't answer.

Back in the East Palace, she changed He Lianbao into barbarian clothes, combed her hair into a beautiful bun, and put those precious red hairpins on her hair one by one.

"Give this thing to Young Master Xi Lin of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and tell him that his lover is dead. Just say that the third prince is looking for him. If it's not him, don't say a word."

The eunuch of the East Palace was ordered to leave quickly.

"Bao'er, you are still beautiful, and you will see Xi Lin soon."

The Empress Dowager's marriage strategy will also come to naught at this moment, just wait and see.

It seems that the eunuch met Xi Lin very smoothly, because when he came back, another person rushed over, and he pushed Xi Changning away to take her place.

"Bao'er, wake up."

Xi Lin kept pushing He Lianbao's body, but what a pity his shouts got nothing but cold answers.He smashed the candlestick like crazy, the palace people were too frightened to speak, and hid everywhere.

"Didn't you say that she can save her life as long as she becomes the concubine of the third prince? Now? You actually killed her yourself? Why?"

Xi Lin pointed the finger at Xi Changning when he had hit enough, and grabbed Xi Changning with great strength. Even if the pain was so painful that Xi Changning gritted his teeth and endured it, the pain was much less than the pain He Lianbao suffered.

Seeing that Xi Changning was silent, Xi Lin let go of his hand, stepped back decadently, returned to Helianbao's coffin, and took out a longevity lock from his bosom, which was wrapped in a blood book by Helianbao. It was also sent by Xi Changning.

Xi Lin put it on for He Lianbao himself, it was a token of their love.

"Bao'er, how could you leave me like this?"

"Xi Lin, if you have any intention of seeking death in your heart, you'd better not have it. Your death is useless at all. In a few days, you will be married to Princess Jing, so you'd better show up on time."

Xi Changning's words seemed to prevent Xi Lin from seeking death, but there were some deep meanings hidden in the words.

"Why should I believe it? Why should I believe a person who killed my beloved? I won't believe you, I won't marry Princess Jing, and I won't die. I want to see you like this How can the murderer survive here?"

Xi Lin dropped those words and left, still reluctantly looking at Helian Bao's coffin before leaving.

There was no expression on Xi Changning's face, as if all this was not talking to him coldly.She didn't care about Xi Lin's leaving and walked to He Lianbao's side.

"Bao'er, don't worry, Xi Lin will be yours soon." It's just that he must suffer a little before that, otherwise he will never know how cruel the reality is.

What people didn't expect was that at this time, someone came back to mourn a court lady.

"What are you here for?"

"Don't forget that you once said that the one who sent Helianbao to me as a side concubine, she is still Empress Bao in name. Isn't it right that I come to send her off?"

It was the third prince who spoke. He came alone, dressed in plain clothes, and he didn't know what play he was playing again.

"It's not that you didn't protect her well. But what else can I say, after all, I killed her with my own hands."

"Changning..."

The third prince stepped forward and grabbed Xi Changning, wanting to explain something, but Xi Changning dodged it.

Xi Changning flashed a pair of black and white eyes, with tears streaming down his face.

"I don't blame you. I only blame myself. I was self-righteous and killed Bao'er. It's me!"

The more Xi Changning spoke, the more excited he became, and his mood swings became more and more violent.

Seeing that she was emotionally unstable, the third prince stepped forward and hugged her, hoping that she would not hurt him. Xi Changning became more and more quiet in her arms, and finally wrapped his arms around his waist, sobbing softly in his arms.This is the first time that Xi Changning is so obedient in front of him.

"Bao'er won't blame you, don't worry, I will protect you in the future."

"Protect me? The Empress Dowager took Bao'er away from your palace. Who on earth informed the Empress Dowager?"

Xi Changning's soft voice pierced the third prince's ears, and doubts arose in his heart.

"There won't be another time."

With the third prince's guarantee, Xi Changning stopped talking, but was hugged by the third prince obediently.

Xi Lingyan, you can't think of it, even if you don't make a move, you can still trip her up.Xi Lingyan's weakness is so obvious, it's nothing more than the third prince, she can't stand any woman getting close to the third prince.

Huangfu Zimian, who was standing on the other side, could only bow his head and leave after seeing this scene.

Palace of the Three Princes
The third prince walked in a hurry, as soon as he returned to his bedroom, he kept looking for Xi Lingyan, and finally found Xi Lingyan who was coaxing the little prince to sleep in the little prince's room.

"Third prince, come and see the little prince. But he fell asleep."

Seeing this, Xi Lingyan immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"The little prince had an accident, why did the Queen Mother arrive in such a timely manner? Did you and the Queen Mother collude?"

Without giving Xi Lingyan any chance to breathe, he asked questions when they met.

Xi Lingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then saw that he was dressed in plain clothes, so she knew that he had been to the East Palace, so she knew that Xi Changning told him without asking.

"Did Chang Ning tell you? She will talk nonsense if she loses her confidant. She is trying to drive a wedge between our husband and wife. Don't believe these words, Third Prince."

"Then tell me what's going on?" The third prince changed his gentle look, exuding a majestic aura all over his body.

"Third prince, the child just fell asleep, let's talk in another place."

Xi Lingyan was also frightened by the third prince's sudden questioning, and lost her senses for a while.

"Child? Are you still worried about the child? Don't you want the child to die?"

"Third prince, how can you wrong the concubine like this? What is wrong with the concubine? Or... just because the concubine is not Changning?"

She is just Changning's substitute, as long as Xi Changning doesn't die, he will always pretend to be Xi Changning in his heart, now that the crown prince is dead, he naturally doesn't have to worry anymore.

"what are you saying?"

"Third prince, are you guilty? I've seen it all. You have deep affection for Chang Ning. I'm just her substitute!"

Xi Lingyan looked at the third prince whose eyes were twinkling, he was suffering from the heart, and he didn't care about any friendship.

"Now that you know, you should understand that I will not let her be harmed, you will only set yourself on fire. I hope this is the last time."

"The last time? Should the concubine thank the third prince, but do you know what kind of person Xi Changning is? Only the concubine truly loves you. Xi Changning and Hucheng Zifu have long been involved, even She single-handedly created Hucheng, and she walked step by step with Zimu already behind her, so where is your place?"

Xi Ling yelled like crazy.

"What are you talking about?" The third prince asked in disbelief.

"Why are you so surprised? Dou Da Furen in Xiangfu, Dou Dou in the imperial palace, where does she get such a fortune as a woman, I don't believe you can ask your confidant Yan Xiufeng, he said it was a slip of the tongue. Otherwise, why did the Queen Mother rush to deal with He? Lian Bao, because He Lian Bao is also from Hucheng."

Now that this point has been said, Xi Lingyan will not make Xi Changning feel better.

After thinking for a while, the third prince still cared about the relationship between husband and wife, and decided to forgive her such a mistake.But it was too dangerous for Xi Lingyan to follow the Queen Mother, so she must be punished.

"From today onwards, the little prince will be taken care of by the nanny. Just be good as your third concubine."

When Xi Lingyan heard this, she was astonished. The third prince was taking away her authority, and the third concubine was just a title. Without the existence of the third prince and the little prince, she would be nothing.

"No, you can't do that. Third prince, my concubine made a mistake, don't treat me like this, okay?"

Xi Lingyan knelt on the ground, holding the third prince's hand tightly, she couldn't lose him, all she did was for him, how could he abandon her like this?

"Even if you want Xi Changning, the concubine won't say much, please, third prince, please don't do that."

Xi Lingyan's crying woke up the little prince, who was crying unceasingly.The third prince was so annoyed by the cries of the child and Xi Lingyan, he simply did nothing, threw up his sleeves and left to call for the nanny.

Xi Lingyan was pushed away heavily by the third prince, and she fell to the ground because she lost her center of gravity. Her calling was of no avail.

"Why? Why Xi Changning?"

Yan Xiufeng wiped his sweat and looked at the stern third prince. Neither of them spoke, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.It was only at the end that the third prince spoke slowly.

"Does Xiufeng mean that I treat you badly and you plan to find another master?"

When Yan Xiufeng heard this, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately knelt down on one knee.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Why don't you dare? Your slip of the tongue seems to have caused a lot of trouble. I don't believe that this is a strategy that you can come up with alone."

When Yan Xiufeng heard the leak, he knew that the matter of Xi Lingyan was exposed, she must have said it, and women are just unreliable.

"The subordinates don't understand, please ask the third prince to clarify."

"It's really time for me to make it clear, you can't talk to me here."

The third prince could see that Yan Xiufeng had concealed something from him, which was not a small matter, but Yan Xiufeng grew up with him, and he was not the kind of unreliable person.

"Damn the subordinate, there is one thing to hide from the third prince."

Yan Xiufeng really sweated for himself, thanks to Xi Hanxue who saved his hand, now he has to admire Xi Hanxue's excellence, but why she couldn't beat Xi Changning before she faked her death?
"The subordinates also unintentionally exploited the loophole of the Purple Mansion in Hucheng. Although the land was found to belong to the Xuan Mansion in name, it was taken over by Xi Changning a few years ago. She summoned the Hu people who occupied the land to reorganize the Hu city, and the outsider is Zimu, the young master of the Purple Mansion in Hucheng."

Yan Xiufeng told the third prince everything he knew. All of this was directed by Xi Hanxue. She said that sooner or later this matter would be exposed by Xi Lingyan or the Queen Mother. If he told the third prince at that time, By the way...

"The reason why my subordinates didn't tell the third prince is because Xi Changning was involved, and the third prince's intentions are clear to me, so I want to collect the evidence of the matter before reporting. As for the third concubine, it was my subordinate's mistake. I originally thought they were on good terms when they were in the prime minister's mansion. I hope I can find out something, but the Third Prince and Concubine saw the clue."

This kind of rhetoric pushes the matter away, and the rest is up to the Third Prince to deal with it himself.

"Hucheng Purple Mansion, Purple Mansion."

The third prince repeatedly chanted the word Zifu, and finally his brows were full of murderous intent.Unexpectedly, Xi Changning had him in his heart so long ago.

This may be what Xi Changning himself did not think of. Behind the net, Xi Hanxue also wove a net for her.Xi Lingyan was exposed, but she was also exposed.
