Lady Changning

Chapter 184
Xi Hanxue shook his hand, what Yan Xiufeng said was not impossible, given the emperor's feelings for Xi Changning, he never cared about her marriage to the prince, so how could he care about a dead person?

"No! She must not be allowed to return to Beijing!" she screamed.

Yan Xiufeng is already a little tired of Xi Hanxue's sensitivity, ignores her, and is still thinking about the emperor's thoughts, but unfortunately, although he has been with the emperor for so long, if he really talks about guessing his thoughts now, he is still not sure, especially On the matter of Xi Changning.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Xi Changning is absolutely not allowed to return to Beijing. She is not a fool. Without the handle of the Second Prince, how can we fight her? Then you are not afraid that she will burn it on you?"

Xi Hanxue continued to use her thoughts to lure Yan Xiufeng. He is not stupid, but his thoughts are not careful enough, so he has been used by her all the time.On the other hand, maybe they all have a common enemy.

"What do you want to do?" Yan Xiufeng felt that once Xi Hanxue led him by the nose, he would not be able to move.

Now she said that the key point was at stake, maybe he was restless because he was worried that the emperor would desperately take her back to the palace.Maybe it's waiting for the second prince to die now, or maybe it's because the empress dowager's power has made the emperor confuse. In short, it is most likely that the emperor still cares about Xi Changning, otherwise why not keep him by his side but instead monitor Xi Changning?

"Of course it's preemptive. The emperor is very busy with the Queen Mother's affairs. Is it up to you whether Xi Changning lives or dies?"

Xi Hanxue made wishful thinking.

"Xi Hanxue, although I am greedy for your beauty. But I don't need to risk my life. The emperor asked me to monitor Xi Changning. Although he didn't say it clearly, he will never let her die. If she really dies, the emperor will not let her go. mine."

Although Yan Xiufeng didn't want Xi Changning to return to the palace, it was very suspicious for the emperor to monitor Xi Changning. If he killed Xi Changning rashly, he always felt that the emperor was testing him with this move.

Seeing that Yan Xiufeng was unwilling to take risks, Xi Hanxue was very upset.Leaning away from Yan Xiufeng's side, he pretended to be angry.

"If you don't want to, then you just wait and see, you will regret it."

It's hard to say if you don't regret it in the future, but the crow's mouth of the two of them guessed right. They were still thinking about whether to kill Xi Changning, so Hengshan's spies ran in in a panic.

The spies hesitated to speak, feeling panicked.He was sent to monitor a couple of men and women without explaining the situation. The master also seemed to be lacking in interest. Naturally, these spies were very lax. Who knew that something would happen after they went to drink flower wine.

"The girl is dead, and the man is still half dead."

The spies had no choice but to report truthfully.But he didn't expect the master to push away the woman beside him immediately, and stood up suddenly, his face pale.

"What did you say that Xi Changning is dead?"

Yan Xiufeng was so frightened that he almost fell off the soft couch, why did he just say what?

But Xi Hanxue yelled in her heart, Xi Changning finally died, and finally no one in this world dared to oppose her.She didn't care whether Yan Xiufeng was still in shock, she walked into the bedroom and looked at the mirror and laughed.

"Xi Changning, you finally died, you still died before me! Haha!"

She finally succeeded, she is still better than Xi Changning, she will always be number one in the capital, and it is impossible for anyone to surpass her.Xi Hanxue smiled crazily, completely without her usual ladylike appearance.

Royal Palace
Yan Xiufeng kept walking back and forth outside the emperor's sleeping hall, not daring to go in, and now he was in trouble.It's all his fault that he listened to Xi Hanxue's nonsense again, ignored Xi Changning's movements and only said good things and not bad things.

It's all right now, the people sent by Hengshan said that Xi Changning was dead.How did he explain to the emperor?If the emperor knew what would happen if he didn't know.

"Is Your Majesty Ji Gong here?" Yan Xiu Feng Xin stepped forward and asked.

Ji Gonggong used to follow the prince, and after the prince died, he followed Xi Changning, which can be regarded as his dedication. Even Xi Changning was isolated and helpless in the palace, and he never suffered a disadvantage as a personal servant.

After Xi Changning left, the emperor kept Eunuch Ji by his side for some unknown reason.

"General Yan, wait a moment and I'll report to you."

Yan Xiufeng was named a general after the third prince came to the throne, he can be regarded as inheriting his father's career, honoring his ancestors, and he is the third prince's confidant, there are very few people in the palace who do not betray him.

Ji Gonggong came and went for a short time, but Yan Xiufeng suffered a lot and didn't know how to speak to the emperor. In any case, he had failed the emperor's great trust.

But when he thought of Xi Changning's passing away, he finally felt relieved of a major worry.And it didn't take any effort from him, which wasn't right.

"My minister sees the emperor."

Yan Xiufeng saluted everywhere, not daring to say a word that was unnecessary.

The third prince has changed, no, it should be the emperor who has changed.Although he knew that when the emperor was still the third prince, that kind of gentleness was pretending, but he never thought that when the mask was torn off, he would have a heart that was almost ruthless, but he had feelings for Xi Changning soft spot.

"What are you looking for?"

The emperor's voice was calm and restrained, not at all like that of her age.This is also the reason why the third prince will sit on the throne. The prince seems to walk casually but emphasizes feelings. The second prince is pure and careless, so he is not suitable for the emperor.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask any more questions, Yan Xiufeng knelt down consciously, hesitating and still not knowing how to report this matter to the emperor.

"The minister is guilty."

The emperor frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Say."

"Xi Changning, dead."

Yan Xiufeng lowered his head to tell the story, and there was a sound of a cinnabar pen breaking above his head, and he felt that something was wrong. The emperor's affection for Xi Changning was probably deeper than he imagined.

"What's going on?" His voice was visibly trembling.

"The spies came to report that he committed suicide for the sake of the second prince."

Yan Xiufeng didn't know what was going on. It was all because he had always been a spy monitoring Xi Changning, and he paid little attention to himself, so the spies acted casually. The reason was also that the spies said that he was no longer able to find out the truth.

The emperor kept silent, Yan Xiufeng was a little worried, so he dared to look up.The emperor's expression had an indescribable strangeness, maybe because of such sadness, it shouldn't appear on such a cold face.

"Why didn't you protect her?"

With the sudden questioning, Yan Xiufeng bowed his head again. It is better to say that he has never protected than to protect Xi Changning. He has long been resentful for Xi Changning's teasing. Now she died just as he wanted, but it was not easy to explain to the emperor.

"I know I'm wrong, please forgive me." He didn't believe that the emperor would kill him for the sake of a dead man.

Even if he wanted to blame him, but now he is the emperor's right-hand man, so he can't be attacked, let alone Xi Changning was not killed by him, so he has nothing to be ashamed of.

"go out!"

Yan Xiufeng still bowed his head and pushed out of the hall, until Mr. Ji closed the hall door before he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the emperor couldn't get rid of the news no matter what, he couldn't believe that Xi Changning passed away like this.Maybe they should have brought her back when they were there, instead of letting them get along in silence because of their brotherhood towards Huangfu Zimian and Xi Changning's affection.

He ignored Xi Changning's feelings for Huangfu Zimian, living alone was absolutely impossible, and he was still fanciful that as long as Huangfu Zimian died, she would gradually forget her, and he could pick her up.

The emperor looked around, but he couldn't find anything to vent his emotions. His chest was filled with sullenness, and he kept stroking his chest with his hands, hoping to relieve the sullenness.

But doing so not only didn't relieve him, but made him even more irritable. He understood that there were two reasons why he couldn't accept it. One was that he killed his most respected brother with his own hands, and the other was that he killed his most beloved woman, Xi Changning.

"Changning, why? Do you really hate me that much?"

Even if I die, I don't want to find him.

"Grandpa Ji, go get General Yan for me."

Ji Gonggong outside the door responded immediately when he heard the order, and went to find Yan Xiufeng who might not have gone far.

He had a long, long dream, the reality of which had overwhelmed all his feelings, including pain, wet tears, and laughter, but in the end, his eyes were full of red.

He is an unreal person, except for the name, Zi Mian, every word other people say makes him feel that it has never happened.He felt as if he was living in another person's story, because it all seemed so good.

The master said that he was seriously injured, and he recovered after a long time of recuperation. When he woke up, he could not remember everything that happened, including who he was.

Every day, different people tell him about the past, and he can't judge what is real and what is unreal. Whenever he calms down, his injured heart will ache, and the feeling of soreness makes him a big man. They couldn't help but shed tears.

Every night, he had the same dream, which seemed sweet and full of tears.In the dream, there was a hazy figure of a young girl holding her hand tightly, and the sweat from the palms of the two of them melted into each other. As for why there was so much sweat, I couldn't remember.Her voice has been floating back and forth in his ears, and even his lips feel the cold softness, mixed with salty and bitter moistness, I can't describe the feeling, but every time he wakes up, the pillow is wet, and even he is inexplicably crying. .

"Zi Mian, it's good that you live." Unspeakable sadness, unfamiliar yet so familiar.

This kind of dream has been tormenting him all the time. The master said that maybe he was rescued by a passing girl when he was seriously injured, so he was so impressed, but he kept silent about the process of his injury, not even to the savior. Silent.
