Chapter 402: Shangyang Flowers Fall

Even if Shangyang hadn't said this, Zhaohua had already started doing this.

Jiang Deshun has been serving Xiao Jingheng since he was a child, and has watched him grow up.

It is really difficult to make use of him.

However, his leg disease is difficult to cure and he is old, so he will retire soon.

By then, Xiao Yinzi, as his apprentice, will most likely replace his position as eunuch and become the new favorite of the emperor.

Zhao Hua has always known that if she wants to win the Phoenix Crown, she must change her origin.

It happened that she had lost her memory and was pregnant at that time. As long as she was depressed because of the matter of being the "daughter of a guilty minister", Xiao Jingheng would solve her worries for her and let her rest assured to take care of her baby, even for the sake of the royal heir.

In fact, it doesn't matter who says this. All Zhao Hua wants is to successfully change his family background.

But in the end, she chose to let Xiao Yinzi take the blame. [Chapters 359, 360]

On that day, Xiao Yinzi accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and Xiao Jingheng was so angry with him that he wanted to sentence him to death.

It was Zhaohua who asked Xiao Fuzi to arrive in time and save Xiao Yinzi's life.

Zhaohua was not sure whether little Yinzi would remember such a kindness.

But I believe that after this incident, Xiao Yinzi will understand the truth that "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger".

In the future, he became the eunuch of the capital, the most glorious but also the most dangerous.

He is a smart man and naturally knows how to plan a way out for himself.

If Zhaohua extended an olive branch to him at that time, I think he would probably not refuse it.

*

Shang Yang had kept the secrets of the previous dynasty in his heart for a long time.

After all, she had to rely on Jamel Xiao to climb up in the past, so of course she wouldn't say such things.

Now that she had let it all out in one breath, she felt relieved.

She leaned lazily on the warm seat, laughing wildly.

After a long while, when the laughter stopped, Shang Yang suddenly stood up, tightly grasped Zhao Hua's hand, and said:

"Song Zhao, I have always been very accurate in judging people and things. I believe that your future will be bright and glorious."

After saying this, he quickly withdrew his hand, smiled bitterly, and stroked his bloodstained cheek.

"If I go out like this to see my child, I'm afraid I'll scare him. Queen, can you give me a basin of clean water so I can wash and go clean?"

Zhao Hua didn't say much, but just turned around and gave Xiao Fuzi a look.

Xiao Fuzi immediately understood and bowed and left.

When he came back again, he placed on the table in front of Shang Yang a basin of rose water, a shiny horn comb, two boxes of rouge and powder, a bottle of hair oil, and a dagger inlaid with a sapphire and with a very sharp blade.

Shang Yang looked at the objects one by one and understood what Zhao Hua meant.

I heard her say to Zhaohua with a smile: "Thank you, Queen."

Zhaohua was silent for a moment, only nodded in response, and then left with Xiao Fuzi.

After leaving the house, Zhao Hua stood at the gate of Zhaochun Palace, looked back at the golden plaque on it, then turned and looked quietly at the foggy sky, and said with emotion:

"Tonight the sky is cloudless, I think tomorrow will be a very sunny day."

Xiao Fuzi looked in the direction where her gaze was going and said:

"It has been raining for so many days, and the sky is always gloomy. Now the clouds are clearing, and it's time for the sun to rise."

The night wind blew up, blowing up the sleeves of Zhaohua's wide phoenix robe.

As Xiao Fuzi protected Zhaohua and helped her get into the sedan chair, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Majesty is kindhearted after all. Concubine Hui schemed against you in the past, but you still wanted to give her the last bit of dignity."

His voice, along with the rustling sound of the wind, entered Zhaohua's ears.

She smiled blankly and said calmly:

"In this palace, who can really plot against whom? They are all trapped in the spider web woven by the same person. They have no choice but to fight and kill each other all day long until they die."

Xiao Fuzi nodded and said, "Although Concubine Hui is vicious, she is also a smart person. Now she is sentenced to death, which is retribution. However, with the thoughts left by the queen, she will not die too sadly."

Hearing this, Zhao Hua suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Fuzi with uncertain eyes, and smiled faintly:

"Since you said she was smart, how much do you think she believed the white lie I just told her?"

"this......"

Xiao Fuzi was speechless for a moment, and Zhaohua was unwilling to continue talking.

He just lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and gave a casual instruction.

"It's late at night, and the children are still waiting for me in the palace. Let's go."

The thick darkness of the night drowned out the Queen's procession and also extinguished the only faint light of a candle in Shangyang's inner chamber.

In this dark place,

Shang Yang stared at herself in the mirror. Only after she adjusted to the darkness did she see clearly in the mirror that her face was still beautiful after she had dressed up.

She took a silk handkerchief and carefully tied it around the neck of the person in the mirror, covering the obvious neck wrinkles.

Looking at her this way, it seems that time has left no trace on her.

She is still that bright and pure girl.

Just like when she left her motherland and Jiang Muye.

At this moment, Shang Yang had already cut the wrist of his right hand and soaked it in the basin of water he had just used for washing, letting the blood trickling out dye the clear water into a bright coral color.

She opened her tightly clenched left hand, looked at the broken red coral ring in her palm, and smiled peacefully.

"Yelang, I'm here to look for you."

She knew Jamel Xiao so well, she certainly knew that Jamel Xiao would never let Jiang Muye go.

What Zhaohua said to her was nothing but a white lie.

But she was awake all her life.

In the end, I just want to be completely confused for once and act like a fool.

The vision in front of me gradually became blurry.

Shangyang felt his eyelids were heavy.

But at the moment when she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly saw a dazzling light.

Someone came against the light, getting closer to her.

This time, she saw her young man clearly.

After many vicissitudes, its appearance remains unchanged.

Still dashing and full of vigor.

He stretched out his hand to Shangyang from a distance, smiled, and said to her in an extremely gentle tone:

"Yang'er, I will take you home."

On the third day of April in the ninth year of Qiyuan, Concubine Hui, Wei Linlan, died of illness in Zhaochun Palace at the age of twenty.
