Chapter 93 The Second Princess' Confession
Concubine Chen Gui also agreed with Lu Xingwan's words, so she said to Mei Ying, "I didn't expect Zhao Saiyuan to be such a scheming person. Remember to write a letter to your father and tell him to be careful of Zhao Saiyuan."
Mei Ying nodded, and the matter came to an end, and several people withdrew.
Concubine Chen stood up and stretched her waist. Things had been happening one after another these days, making her more tired than when she was on the march or fighting in the past.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Xingwan who was standing beside her and muttered, "Wanwan, mother is so tired. I really like the feeling of being alone in the palace when I was still Concubine Chen."
When Lu Xingwan turned around and saw her mother like this, she felt heartbroken. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward and hugged Concubine Chen Guifei's thigh.
[My dear mother, you are so pitiful. My dear mother, let Concubine Ning be the queen!]
[Although my daughter doesn't like her now, it's just right. Let her take care of all these annoying things, and I can just enjoy myself in the harem.]
[Father, please abdicate as soon as possible and give the throne to my brother, the Crown Prince. This way, I can take my mother out of the palace.]
[There is also my sister Qionghua, as well as Jinxin Jinyu, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Otherwise, let's bring Concubine Lan as well... and bring Pei Chuyan as well, he is my personal bodyguard. ]
Concubine Chen Gui was a little surprised after listening to what Lu Xingwan said just now. Is this little girl trying to usurp the throne?
But later on she couldn't help laughing, as there were quite a few people she was thinking about.
Concubine Chen Guifei suddenly realized, Wanwan, is she going to leave?
She is indeed a fairy. The child is only six months old, but she can already walk by herself with the support of things.
While Concubine Chen Gui was thinking, Jin Xin pushed the door open and came in: "Your Majesty, the Second Princess is here."
"Xingxue?" Concubine Chen Gui was surprised for a moment, but she understood in an instant. Xingxue seemed to be a filial child, and she thought she came to plead for her mother. However, she really didn't want to give in on this matter, and His Majesty had already spoken, so there was no room for maneuver.
Then he sighed: "Let her in."
"Empress Chen," the second princess did not look sad when she came in. She looked at Lu Xingwan who was now standing on the ground and said in surprise, "Is Wanwan going to die now?"
Concubine Chen Gui looked towards Lu Xingwan's position and nodded: "You can only walk a few steps with the help of something."
"Wanwan is really different. She is only six months old, but she can already walk with support."
After a moment of silence, Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but speak: "Are you here for your mother's matter?"
Lu Xingxue nodded awkwardly, but quickly shook her head: "Don't worry, Madam Chen, I'm not here to plead for my mother. My mother made such a big mistake, it's great that she can save her life. I'm here to thank Madam Chen for saving my mother's position."
Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen was also surprised, but she soon relaxed: "Thank you for your understanding."
The second princess remained silent for a long time, and the room was completely silent.
Lu Xingwan turned around and looked at the second princess in surprise.
[What is the Second Princess doing? Since you are not here to ask Mother for help, why are you making things so difficult for yourself?]
After a long time, the second princess finally spoke.
"Madam Chen, Mother has never liked you. I know that. I was ignorant at that time and was disrespectful to you..."
After saying this, the second princess looked up at Concubine Chen Guifei, her eyes full of regret.
"You are just children. How can I bother with you?" Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but comfort her. "Besides, it's all in the past. Why bring it up again?"
The second princess shook her head and said, "Madam Chen, you don't know that these things have been a hurdle in my heart for the past few days. My mother has done many wrong things. I thought that she is my mother after all, and even if I cover up for her, it is my duty as a child."
"But when I came to Qingyun Palace yesterday, I heard what my mother said. In her eyes, I am afraid that I have always been just a tool for her to consolidate her power!"
Lu Xingwan on the side couldn't help but exclaim.
[Look! Another one has awakened. You finally figured it out, princess.]
[Your mother is a very vicious woman. When I read the story, I thought she sent you to Yuefeng Country to help you have a good future. But I didn't expect that she would push your sister into the lake in order to frame someone else. Although she was rescued, she became weak.]
[That person was just a small nobleman, how could he hinder her path? The nobleman tried hard to explain that it was Shupin who pushed the Seventh Princess into the lake, but how could anyone believe it? ]
【But she is real. 】
[It was then that I realized that your mother didn’t care about you two sisters at all. You were just tools for her to consolidate her power.]
Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Lu Xingwan's mumblings, but she could only comfort her by saying, "How can a mother not love her children? Your mother was just confused for a moment."
The second princess smiled and said, "Madam Chen, there is no need to comfort me. If it weren't for Madam Chen stepping in and arranging a marriage for me without any grudges, I would have been forced by my mother to marry someone else to consolidate her power and position!"
Concubine Chen finally sighed and said nothing more.
"I came to Qingyun Palace this time, not only to thank Madam Chen, but also for one more thing." The second princess's expression suddenly became serious. "Madam Chen came to the palace late. This happened when I was a child. I was only about six or seven years old at that time."
"At that time, the Empress was not in good health, so Concubine De had already been in charge of the six palaces by my father."
The second princess seemed to be afraid that Concubine Chen would be sad when she said this, so she looked up at her and saw that her eyes were calm.
Fang continued, "At that time, everyone said that the Empress would not live long, and that Concubine De would definitely be the Empress in the future. No one in the harem expected that my father would allow Empress Chen to enter the palace."
"My mother has always been an opportunist. She used to flatter the Empress. After the Empress fell ill, she quickly became a disciple of Concubine De. I was still young at that time, and my mother often took me to show my face in front of Concubine De."
"But they thought I was young, so they didn't avoid me in everything. One time, I heard Concubine De ask my mother how long it would take, and my mother replied that looking at her current body, it would only take half a year."
"I didn't understand it then, but these days when I think about it, I feel that they are talking about the Empress."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen stood up suddenly and asked, "Really?"
The second princess nodded: "I thought that this matter should be made known to Empress Chen, so I came to Qingyun Palace..."
"It can be considered that I have lived up to the sincerity of Empress Chen towards me."
