Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 259 The Death of the Princess (4)
Seeing her again, it was Ling Xihan who had passed through her soul, and she was still able to discover the intimacy and trust hidden in the depths of her heart, which made her eyes blush slightly.

"Nurse."

Madam Cheng was startled, then raised her head and saw the slim Ling Xihan, her eyes were wide open, tears were streaming down her face.

"You, are you Miss?"

Ling Xihan walked over and squatted beside her with a soft voice.

"Yes, it's me. Nanny, you're finally back." She held Nanny Cheng's hand, with a gentle smile on her lips.

Madam Cheng couldn't help crying, and suddenly hugged her in her arms.

"Miss, it's a good thing you're alive. It's not in vain that Madam has tried her best to protect you." She was crying as she spoke. Once the hatred and worry that had been suppressed for many years broke out, she couldn't stop it no matter what.

Ling Xihan was taken aback, and let go of her.

"Mammy? What did you say?"

Over there, King Zhongyi's face also darkened, looking coldly at the princess who could no longer maintain her composure.The queen's expression was even more cloudy, exuding a heavy chill.

Nanny Cheng wiped her tears, and looked fiercely at the princess.

"It was her, the concubine, who killed Madam. She was the one who put chronic poison in Madam's medicine. Madam Empress..." She threw herself at the Empress's feet again, crying: "Madam, please make the decision for Madam. It was she who poisoned the madam when she was sick, and the servant hid behind the window that night and heard it with her own ears. The madam died unjustly, she died unjustly."

The queen tried her best to calm herself down. Of course she knew that Yun Shang's death was unusual, otherwise she wouldn't have been investigating secretly for so many years.And Mother Cheng should have been silenced in the first place.But she was rescued by someone, and the one who saved her was none other than her husband, the current emperor.

Closing her eyes, the Queen's voice was hoarse.

"I really want to know, you just want to know, how did you make Yunshang lose guard? Besides, Yunshang often entered the palace at that time, if she was poisoned, I couldn't have noticed it at all. Unless..." She As if thinking of something, his pupils shrank leisurely, his expression was painful and guilty, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Princess Zhongyi raised her head and suddenly smiled lightly.

"Miss is extremely intelligent, how can you not understand the true meaning?" She didn't deny it, and said in a calm tone: "Since Miss has already guessed it, why do you need to ask me again?"

"Mother!" Ling Hong called out with pained eyes.

The queen's tense nerves broke in an instant, and as soon as she let go of her fingers, the bloody cloth fell lightly to the ground.

"Why?" She said hoarsely, her eyes were sad and desolate.Ling Xihan's heart tightened for a while, and he couldn't bear to see such a queen.

"Why? Hehehehe..." The concubine suddenly laughed lightly, but tears appeared in her eyes. "I also want to know why, miss..." She raised her head, her eyes were sad and tired. "Then why did you let Leng Yunshang enter the palace? Why did you let her be my equal?"

The queen sneered, "Just because of this?"

The princess was silent, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

"The emperor's love for the empress is as deep as the sea. For you, he will not hesitate to be a villain."

Ling Xihan narrowed his eyes and looked at the queen, but saw that her phoenix eyes were cracked, and a look of pain flashed in her eyes.

The princess looked at the silent King Zhongyi again, with the corners of her mouth raised.

"My lord, why don't you speak? Actually, you already knew it, didn't you? Why didn't you stop it? Hehe..." She laughed at herself, "Actually, I know, you are just using me. There are so many people in the palace. Women, they are all worth a lot of money and powerful. The emperor needs someone to balance and suppress all the intertwined forces in the court. But I am the best candidate. Because I don't have any background, don't I? "

King Zhongyi's eyes moved slightly, and he pursed his lips in silence.Ling Xihan was silent, she had already seen this.As for the other concubines sitting in the hall, their hearts skipped a beat, and the corners of their eyes trembled, suppressing the fear in their hearts.

The princess smiled sadly again, and looked at the queen.

"But miss, you know that people have ambitions and desires."

The queen suddenly sneered, and looked at the princess with some disappointment. "Huansha, you have changed, and I don't know you anymore. Back then, I was disabled and everyone hated me, but you were the only one who was willing to serve me. At that time, you were simple and kind. But when did you start? When did that innocent little girl become so scheming and cunning? Is power really so alluring, even obliterating your original kindness and innocence? You disappointed me too much, and made me sad too. "

The princess was startled, mist gathered in her eyes, and a confused and disillusioned smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Yeah, why, why did I become what I am today?" She looked at her hands, which were clean and tidy, but she felt warm blood flowing from between her fingers, like a hand The sharp knife cut across her heart, bloody pain.

She suddenly closed her eyes sadly, "Yes, I killed her."

Ling Xihan's eyes moved slightly, she didn't expect the princess to admit it so quickly.Ling Xiqing closed her eyes, her expression filled with pain.

"Mother!" Ling Hong cried again in pain and disbelief.

The princess opened her eyes, her eyes were calm and relieved.

"Miss, you are right. I poisoned her. Drunk and dreamy, it was the poison you prepared. Back then, you were hunted down and narrowly survived. Later, because you were worried that Biying and I would be harmed by others, you gave us two People are 'drunk, dreaming and dying'." She glanced at Bi Ying who was standing silently beside the queen, Bi Ying looked gloomy, and shook her head with a sigh.

"You said, 'drunken life, dream and death' is just like the name. Anyone who has been poisoned by this poison will get what they want in their life in their dreams, and then gradually eat into the bones of their hearts, and the poison penetrates into the bone marrow without knowing it. And after being poisoned by this poison People who plant the poison will not feel any discomfort, but they cannot be damaged by a little wind and cold, otherwise the poison will be accelerated and they will die slowly."

The queen looked at her seriously, "Tell me, how did you poison her? 'Drunkenness and Dreams' is a slow poison, and it will take five years before she dies."

The princess suddenly laughed, "Five years, that's right, five years...hehehe...Speaking of which, Miss has forgotten? Twelve years ago, you had a conflict with the emperor, and you lived alone in Fengqi Palace with the prince for two years. years. During those two years, you stayed behind closed doors and didn't see anyone."

The queen swayed, "It's true." She tried to calm down, "But even so, Yun Shang will not let you poison you unsuspecting."

"Hehehe..." The concubine laughed even more happily, her eyes were a little blurred and coquettish. "Yes, she is guarded against me. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you, miss. If you hadn't quarreled with the emperor, if you hadn't quarreled with the emperor, she wouldn't have been worried about you every day. Losing my guard gave me the opportunity to bribe her maid and poison her." She seemed a little gloating and a little sad.
