"If..." There was no longer any grievance on Xu Mengyun's face.
This was her true self. She stared straight at Bei Mingxuan, "She's determined not to forgive you. After all, it was you who killed Gu Qingfeng."
"presumptuous!"
The rage in Bei Mingxuan's eyes seemed to burn her to death. "Which eye of yours saw me kill Mr. Qingfeng?"
"..." Xu Mengyun looked at Bei Mingxuan in surprise. After a long while, she slowly asked, "So, you are deliberately deceiving those princes and ministers?
If you didn't kill Gu Qingfeng, then who did?"
"Xu Mengyun, you have never been as smart as your brother. You don't have the ability, but you have to do things beyond your ability." Bei Mingxuan looked at her with disgust.
"Zichu is a man of great wisdom, appearing foolish. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. His brother and your father, for your sake, have almost retreated to the point of no return.
And you still don't know what you are doing, it's really hateful."
"hateful?"
Xu Mengyun sneered, tears quickly falling, "You were infected with the cold poison, and for you, I searched everywhere for the Drizzle Heart Method, but you never took it seriously.
In order to make you feel at ease and have no worries, I have been staying among men for several years.
And now you say to me, I am hateful?"
"You've always known that, apart from emotions, I can give you everything you want." Bei Mingxuan said bluntly.
"Just because of your loyalty to me, Zichu, I, Bei Mingxuan, will never treat you unfairly in this life.
But now you have used up all of this love.
You told Chang'an that I left women in the military tent and arranged the women sent by ministers in the harem. Don't you know that I did this because I needed the support of their families.
I have never touched them, and I would not even bother to look at them.
I have clearly told you these things, but you deliberately said them to Chang'an and didn't explain them clearly, causing her to misunderstand.
"I..." Xu Mengyun was speechless.
"Don't you admit it yet?" Bei Mingxuan asked.
Bei Mingxuan seemed to be talking about Xu Mengyun, but in fact he was explaining it to Chang'an.
He knew very well that if he told Chang'an alone, she might not believe it.
"Yes, I deliberately misled Gu Changan.
You kept those women, and you kept them in order to win over the families behind them.
But, you keep Gu Changan by your side, don't you want to take advantage of the power of the Southern Emperor?"
Bang!
Bei Mingxuan slapped Xu Mengyun hard on the face.
Xu Mengyun was not paying attention and fell heavily to the ground, with blood at the corner of his mouth and a disheveled appearance.
"Mengyun?" Xu Yitong was surprised and immediately supported Xu Mengyun, whose face was already swollen. "Xuan'er, she is your cousin, my niece."
"So what?" Bei Mingxuan glared.
"Queen Dowager, please persuade your niece not to bring trouble to the entire Xu family. If it weren't for Xu Zichu, I would have skinned her alive long ago.
Also, you must be careful and not challenge my imperial authority again and again. After all, my biological mother has long been buried in the imperial mausoleum by the late emperor."
"...Okay, you are from the Bei Ming family. You have guts!" After all, Xu Yitong didn't understand his son.
She didn't stop and helped Xu Mengyun up. "Let's go. We can't afford to offend you, but can we hide from you?"
"Someone come here." Bei Mingxuan ordered.
"Put Xu Mengyun in jail. If you release her again without my order, all your clans will be executed!"
"yes."
"Wait a minute." Chang'an spoke slowly, a smile on his lips. "Since you're out and your last name is Xu, there's no reason for you to go back in."
Xu Yitong blurted out, "What are you going to do?"
"What?" Chang'an smiled even more brightly, with red eyes and a smart voice.
"Of course I have to act like a demon, otherwise Queen Mother Xu will think I'm going to do something."
"..." Bei Mingxuan's eyes twitched constantly as he listened to Chang'an's words.
Are you going to cause trouble?
Not peaceful.
But, he just likes to see her act like this.
This kind of restlessness never stops.
As long as she is there, everything is good for Bei Mingxuan.
"!!! Making trouble?"
Xu Yitong didn't understand. She asked herself if she believed it. She protected Xu Mengyun under her nose. What else could she do? "I want to see how capable Gu Changan is."
The old queen mother listened, sighed, but said nothing.
Bei Mingxuan also looked on helplessly as his mother helped Xu Mengyun leave.
He originally thought that since Chang'an took the initiative to cause trouble, at least his mother would notice it and would definitely send Xu Mengyun back to jail.
In this way, Xu Mengyun would be safer than staying by her side.
However, his mother knew nothing about it.
There is no way, as for Xu Mengyun, we can only leave it to fate.
If something really happened, there was no doubt that Bei Mingxuan would definitely stand by Chang'an.
The old empress dowager watched Xu Yitong and Xu Mengyun leave before she spoke to Chang'an.
"Chang'an, Yi Tong is not a bad person. Like your mother, she is a kindred spirit. If others are kind to her, she will repay them with great kindness.
If anyone bullies her, she will hate that person to death.
She just misunderstood your parents and was taken advantage of.
you……
After all, she is Xuan'er's biological mother. Listen to the advice of the Empress Dowager and don't take it to heart."
Changan blinked, "Grandma Empress, she's not someone I care about, but she's not someone I care about like Xu Mengyun.
If you hadn't written me the letter last night, I would have just been happy and not cared about anything.
But... I am in a dilemma right now."
The old queen's eyes lit up, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "You, you finally understand that your father's death has nothing to do with Xuan'er, right?"
"..." Chang'an looked at the old man who was so excited and eager, and she couldn't bear to say no.
After thinking for a while, she glanced at Bei Mingxuan and found that the anticipation and nervousness in his eyes were even stronger than those of the old empress dowager.
Such a look made her heart soften, so she nodded hesitantly.
Noticing this, Bei Mingxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Chang'an seemed to think that he was being let off too easily, so he immediately glared at him with a cold face.
"There are still doubts that need further verification."
"Hahaha, okay, okay. I have to verify it, so that Xuan'er and you can live the rest of your life happily without any grudges."
"..." Chang'an looked at the old queen mother's happy expression, she really didn't know.
If I were to speak, I would know what to say.
But she didn't know.
The look she had just given Bei Mingxuan on purpose was seen by both the old queen mother and Bei Mingxuan.
She wasn't angry at all. Instead, she had a girlish, strange temper, as if she was acting coquettishly towards her man...
After chatting for a while, it was completely dark.
The old empress dowager stayed in Chang'an for dinner and accommodation.
Chang'an agreed.
Midnight.
Chang'an was not used to living in the palace and had places he wanted to go.
