Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 262 The Death of the Princess (7)
"Mother, you—" How come?How could mother be such a cruel woman?How could this be?Compared to his shock, Ling Xiqing had already understood it like a mirror.

The princess glanced at Ling Hong, guilt appeared in her indifferent eyes.

"Hong'er, I'm sorry." What she was most proud of in her life was having a good son.

Ling Hong was stunned, sitting on the chair slumped, his eyes were dull and unfocused.Ling Xihan also sighed, she still has some feelings for Ling Hong.She knew that this day would come, but this matter was related to her mother, so even if she couldn't bear it, there was nothing she could do.The princess has done so many evil things, and she should be punished.

After the princess finished speaking, she looked at the queen calmly.

"Miss, now you know everything, no matter what you want to do with me, I won't complain at all."

The queen was silent for a long time, and then called softly: "Han'er."

Ling Xihan walked over, "Aunt."

The queen looked up at her, her soft eyes mixed with guilt and exhaustion.

"Now the truth has come out, how to deal with it, you decide."

Before Ling Xihan could speak, Ling Hong suddenly knelt down and looked at the queen earnestly.

"Empress, my mother has committed a heinous crime, and I don't ask for forgiveness from the empress. I only ask that I let my mother suffer on behalf of my mother."

"Hong'er—" Wang Hao looked at her son with tears in her eyes, guilt and remorse.King Zhongyi was also a little moved, but he didn't speak.

Ling Xihan glanced over Ling Hong's painful face indifferently, "Brother—"

"Han'er" Ling Hong looked up at her, "Brother knows that you must take revenge for killing your mother, but she is my mother. No matter what mistakes she made, she is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. You want to avenge me I don't blame you, but my mother is old, and I believe she has already regretted it. If someone really needs to die to offset the resentment in your heart, then use my life to repay it." After he finished speaking, he slapped Split towards his own sky spirit cover.

"Hong'er—" the princess hissed.

King Zhongyi's figure flashed, he had already grabbed his hand, and glared at him angrily.

"Your body and skin are given to your parents, how can you easily seek death?"

Ling Xihan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the princess hurriedly knelt down in front of Ling Hong, crying, "Hong'er, why are you so stupid, my mother has done so many evils, death is not a pity."

Ling Xihan sneered when she saw it, the princess is really ridiculous, why didn't she think of today when she was trying to harm her mother?

"Mother—" Ling Hong's eyes were red, and his voice was choked up.Ling Xiqing was stunned, not knowing what to do.

The princess cried again and crawled up to the queen, "Miss, I did all of this, Hong'er and Qing'er didn't know anything about it, please...please don't hurt them..."

The queen looked down at her weeping face and didn't speak for a while.Biying beside her was also moved, "Miss..."

The queen shifted her eyes to Ling Xihan again, "Han'er, I told you, I will leave this matter to you." She stood up, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Hanyu who was standing aside: "Your name is Hanyu, right? ?”

Hanyu kept her head down, and timidly replied: "Yes."

"Will you come into the palace with me and be my maid?" the queen asked softly again.

Hanyu raised her head, her bright eyes looked at the empress's most beautiful face, she was a little shy.

"Hanyu is willing...willing to..."

The queen smiled slightly, "Bi Ying, take her back to the palace." She left without hesitation.

"Miss!" The princess suddenly turned her head and shouted, and the queen stopped at the door.

The princess stood up slowly, and said to the queen: "Miss, do you still remember what you said to Biying and me in the octagonal pillar pavilion in Baohua Temple 20 years ago?"

The queen's figure shook, her phoenix eyes burst into pain, and she turned her head slowly.But I saw the princess smiling like a flower and crying like rain.

"You said that day, if we have to meet a lover in the future. If that person cannot promise us the only one, then you will kill us with your own hands, and you will not marry us off. Do you remember?" Fresh blood pierced into the queen's clear phoenix eyes.

The queen looked startled, and her figure moved quickly, catching the fallen body of the princess.

"Huansha..."

"Mother..." Ling Hong rushed over with a loud cry, and Ling Xiqing suddenly came back to her senses and ran over immediately.The whole hall was shocked and flustered.Ling Xihan was also shocked, and walked over slowly, looking at the dying princess with a complicated expression.

"Why bother?" the queen sighed softly and said quietly.

The princess's eyes were filled with grief and anger, she held the queen's hand tightly, and said, "Miss, that day...why didn't you just kill me?" Tears had already soaked the queen's clothes, her eyes were blurred and painful. "Miss, why didn't you be more cruel back then? If... if you had killed me directly back then? If I had known today, I would rather, would rather you had killed me with a single sword, and it would be better...better than half my life... Life is better than death..." There was more and more black blood at the corner of her mouth, her voice gradually weakened, and her eyes were painful and desolate.

"Mother—" Ling Hong cried out with tears in his eyes.Ling Xiqing beside her couldn't help crying like rain, but couldn't say anything.

The queen squirmed her lips, "That's right, if I had known today, I shouldn't have cared about the child in your womb. I should have killed you directly."

The princess smiled softly, with a pure and clear smile.At this moment, she seemed to be 16 years old again, and she was still that innocent and kind little maid.

"Miss... If I could do it all over again... I would rather... I would rather... be your maid forever..." She looked at the queen and slowly closed her eyes.

"Mother—" Ling Hong cried out in pain and shed tears.

"Huansha..." Biying couldn't help but her eyes were red, she remembered that many years ago, she and Huansha were as close as sisters, but now...

The queen tried hard not to let her tears fall, and put the princess's body on the floor gently, and then slowly stood up.

"Bury her." The moment she turned around, Ling Xihan clearly saw the sparkling tears in her eyes, like the most beautiful pearls in the world, so bright that it made people feel distressed.She saw that the queen staggered and slowly...disappeared at the door.

Ling Xihan felt extremely complicated in her heart. From the words of the concubine just now, she knew that the death of her mother was really related to the queen.No wonder when she first transmigrated into this world, the queen was so sure that her mother's death was related to the princess.

That's because the emperor and the wet nurse witnessed the scene of her mother being poisoned to death by the princess, but she was hunted down and rescued by the emperor's people, but she was never allowed to testify against the princess.Coupled with everything she had deliberated before, she instantly understood that the emperor was using the princess to balance the various forces in the Zhongyi palace.
