Chapter 58 Family
After finishing the meal, Prince Ning and his wife talked for a while before leaving the palace.

Qinghe watched them leave, the infatuated look in his eyes could not be taken back for a long time.

Then, she looked up at the empress dowager, her eyes were clear, after the empress dowager's express hint tonight, she knew more or less in her heart, only to see if the empress dowager would break it.

"Sit down, Aijia wants to talk to you." The Empress Dowager pointed to the chair beside Qinghe.

"Yes!" Qinghe sat down, feeling a little distressed.

The Empress Dowager didn't say her identity, but asked: "The Ai family can't trust Yuan Su and that Li Xiangyu. Xuan'er is now in the mansion, and the Ai family is worried. What can you do?"

This question is something Qinghe thinks about day and night, but with her strength, it cannot be done.

Now it would be great if the ancestors came forward.

The blood in her heart rose, and she said: "If the emperor's grandmother is worried about Yuanxuan, why not take him into the palace and stay by her side?"

"In what name?" The empress dowager's eyes flashed.

"The Seventh Prince and Xuan'er... Yuan Xuan are about the same age, you can let him enter the palace to accompany the prince to study, and take him into the palace on the grounds of treating illnesses along the way."

"If the Ai family orders this matter, then Xuan'er who entered the palace will be a corpse." The Empress Dowager said unequivocally.

Qinghe smiled slightly, "That's because the emperor's grandmother has always shown that she doesn't believe in Yuan Su and Li Xiangyu. If the empress dowager orders them to enter the palace, she pretends to comfort them and then rewards them. Stay for two days, let Li Xiangyu also follow into the palace, when the time comes, the imperial concubine asked to stay Xuan'er in the palace to accompany the seventh prince to study, Li Xiangyu will naturally not refuse."

"What you said is a solution, but it is not the Ai family's doing to make the Ai family pretend to comfort Yuan Su and Li Xiangyu." The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold.

Qinghe stared at her and sighed slightly, "I was once taught by an elder that to be a human being, you must know how to endure. If you can't bear even a little humiliation, you may suffer more humiliation in the future."

This sentence was said by the empress dowager to Qinghe, and, in the process of her growing up, she kept saying it repeatedly.

The empress dowager's eyes flickered, and her tears flickered. Didn't she say this in the same way as admitting it in front of her?

Qinghe stood up slowly without making a sound, sat next to the empress dowager, snuggled up to her arm like when he was a child, and asked softly: "I asked myself that I concealed it very well, how do you know? And this matter, even if I tell you I find it absurd and unbelievable, but you actually believe it?"

The empress dowager stroked her hair, her voice choked up, "I saw in my dream that you were still alive and married to Chu Jinyu. Seeing that you had a close relationship with Chu Jinyu, the Ai family began to suspect you, so set up On the night of the banquet for the envoys, Aijia was unwell and had to attend. That night, seeing the different Princess Yili, Aijia was even more skeptical. Then, I heard that you proposed to the emperor to reopen the imperial examination. This is you The sudden illness happened because of the things I mentioned to the Ai family before."

Qinghe's eyes widened, "Are you pretending to be sick?"

Aunt Gui wiped her tears beside her, "Where's the pretense? The illness is a real illness, but it's not that serious. Drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is more painful than being ill."

"You grew up next to the Ai family. The Ai family is very familiar with your words and deeds. The Ai family has already sensed your existence. It is impossible for you to hide it from the Ai family."

The empress dowager looked serious, staring at her with fiery eyes, "Say, how did you die? Did Yuan Su harm you?"

Qinghe knew that if her identity was made public, she would definitely ask, but if she were to know, she would kill Yuan Su and Li Xiangyu at all costs.

But Yuan Su is a great general of the Liang Kingdom, killing a great general can't lead to an unknown person, especially now that there is a shortage of generals, if he kills a general for no reason, it will make Yuan Su's old army unstable and the soldiers will complain.

If you want to kill Yuan Su, you must have conclusive evidence to convict him. At that time, you can’t say that Princess Qinghe is not dead. It is Princess Yili who died. Now Princess Yili is Princess Qinghe, and she will testify against Yuan Su’s murder. Princess Qinghe, will anyone believe this?

Since no one believed it, she followed her method to take perfect revenge. She wanted Yuan Su to be ruined and Li Xiangyu to live more than die.

Therefore, she hid the hatred in her heart, and said lightly: "Before I died, I was ill for a long time. You also know this. It wasn't Yuan Su who killed me."

"He didn't kill you, so why do you hate him? Also, did you ask him to marry Li Xiangyu before you died?" the empress dowager asked sternly.

Qinghe smiled bitterly, "I don't hate him, how could I hate him? It's just that I don't love him anymore. In fact, the relationship between me and him has gradually faded in the past two years. He is busy with political affairs, and I always complain. Over time, the two always quarrel As for me before I died, I really asked him to marry Li Xiangyu, and I asked him to marry Li Xiangyu quickly, because Li Xiangyu and I were sisters anyway, and it was better for her to be Xuan'er's stepmother than outsiders, I was afraid , once Yuan Su does not marry Li Xiangyu and falls in love with another woman in the future, if that woman is a vicious person, wouldn't Xuan'er's situation be even more miserable?"

"Really?" The empress dowager obviously didn't believe it.

Qinghe looked at the empress dowager with clear eyes, "It's true, you also know my temperament, I've always been stubborn, and I don't let others go, so there are many conflicts between us, as a wife, I don't have the slightest tolerance for my husband , it must be something bad."

Although Qinghe's words seem sincere, they are insincere. In the relationship between her and Yuan Su, she is actually very humble. In order to keep his heart, she has paid a lot, but in the end, his heart still left her , Betrayed love betrayed oath.

The empress dowager knew that she was honest and straightforward, and she didn't like to lie. Now that she saw her words clearly and logically, she believed her a little bit, but how did the empress dowager know that today's Qinghe is no longer the Qinghe of the past, and she already knows how to hide herself. mind, and well hidden.

"Well, Aijia thinks about it too. If he really killed you, why don't you tell Aijia to cut him into pieces? With your temperament, how can you suffer half a grievance?"

"It's still my ancestors who understand me!" Qinghe coquettishly hid in her arms, put his face on her shoulders, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Go away!" the ancestor said disgustedly, "I hate people like you the most, no matter how old you are, you still only know how to act like a baby."

Although he hated her in his mouth, he didn't stretch out his hand to push her away, but instead showed a smile on his face.

"If you don't get out, just stick to you." Qinghe continued to lean on her shoulder.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and said: "In this way, Yuan Su can't be regarded as a heinous crime. The Ai family will not feel embarrassed by this false consolation."

Qinghe endured the cold poison in his heart, and calmly analyzed it to the empress dowager, "Actually, it is wrong for him to marry Li Xiangyu. After all, Li Xiangyu's background is unknown, but I just like her because she doesn't have a prominent natal family. But Yizhu, if she wants to gain a foothold in the General's Mansion, she has to treat Xuan'er even better, if it's a young lady from another noble family, she might be so mean to Xuan'er."

"Well, you have considered it thoroughly." The empress dowager completely believed her now.
