Chapter 411 Sorrow
In the early morning, the bright sunshine shines into the house through the window, making the room bright.
Chen Tang was well rested, he opened his eyes lazily, and a handsome face came into view.
Chen Tang's first reaction was, "Why didn't you get up?"
She rarely saw Xie Guimo get up. When she woke up, Xie Guimo had already finished his morning exercises.
Thinking about how Xie Guimo went to bed late last night, it was normal for him to get up late. The next second she realized, "Why did you go to bed?"
Xie Guimo turned over and pressed Chen Tang under him, "If you don't let me sleep on the bed, I will sleep, isn't that good?"
That's because her lochia is almost gone, okay?
For his own good, he still has opinions.
There was a sound of a door opening, and Chen Tang punched Xie Guimo on the chest, "Stop making trouble."
Xie Guimo lay back down. Since he had slept on the bed last night, he could sleep on the bed in the future. Sleeping on the small couch made his back and waist sore.
Gingko Qiutong brought in the copper basin, Xie Guimo got up, put on his brocade robe and went out, Chen Tang took a while before getting out of bed to wash.
The maid wouldn't let her get out of bed, and wanted to wash up in bed, but Chen Tang felt that she was fine, so she kept lying in bed, and she was almost sick.
After washing up, the small kitchen brought the food into the house. Chen Tang and Xie Guimo sat down to eat. Si'er came in from outside and said, "Master and Consort, Prince Yu sent eight large boxes."
Chen Tang was curious and wanted to go out to take a look, but just as he stood up, Xie Guimo grabbed his hand and sat back down, "You dare to go out and see the wind?"
Chen Tang, "..."
I have forgotten that I am still in confinement.
Fearing being scolded, Chen Tang had an expression on her face that she knew she was wrong, and Xie Guimo was reluctant to scold her, "Prince Yu sent this thank you gift. If you want to see it, wait until after dinner and have someone bring it in for you to see."
Shen Tang nodded repeatedly and continued to eat breakfast.
As for the princess, she has also been getting up late since the old lady and the other families moved out of the palace mansion.
Just as she woke up, Mother Yun came in and said, "Princess, you are finally awake. I don't know what happened in the palace last night. Concubine Ye was banished to the cold palace, and Prince Yu brought the emperor's personal guards to raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight..."
The princess was shocked.
Although her relationship with Concubine Ye was no longer the same as before, and she even knew that Concubine Jiang was given to the prince by Concubine Ye, the princess felt somewhat uncomfortable when she heard that Concubine Ye was banished to the cold palace.
The princess got off the bed and the maid helped her comb her hair. Just as she finished combing her hair, a maid came in quickly and said, "Princess, Concubine Ye is not your cousin!"
The princess didn't understand, and Mother Yun was also confused, "If Concubine Ye isn't the princess's cousin, who else could it be?"
The maid gasped, "Concubine Ye is the biological sister of the Earl of Changping. She killed the princess's real cousin and took her place as an impersonator."
Mother Yun's face changed drastically, and she looked at the princess, "How, how is this possible..."
The princess also looked unhappy.
The maid said, "Not only that, even the princess's father and brother died on the battlefield, and they were poisoned by Concubine Ye and the Earl of Changping..."
Hearing this, the princess stood up suddenly. Because she stood up too quickly, she felt dizzy and had to hold on to the dressing table to steady herself.
The princess couldn't believe what she heard, "Say what you just said again!"
The maid reported it again.
The princess burst into tears.
Mother Yun was so angry that she started to curse, "The Duke loved Concubine Ye so much when he was alive. Even if she is an imposter, she can't harm the Duke like this, right?!"
Mother Yun even wanted to go into the palace with a knife and stab Concubine Ye.
One must be extremely cruel and ruthless to do such a heartless thing.
The princess asked, "Who found out about this?"
The maid was a little confused, "They said that the prince and Prince Yu investigated."
The princess didn't have time to eat breakfast and hurried to Chenxiangxuan.
At that time, Chen Tang and Xie Guimo had finished breakfast. Chen Tang wanted to move around in the room, but Xie Guimo asked her to lie down on the bed. Chen Tang had no choice but to listen to her.
"princess……"
As soon as Shen Tang lay down, he heard the maid's voice coming from outside the room.
Chen Tang looked towards the beaded curtain and saw the princess walk in. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously heard about Concubine Ye being banished to the cold palace. The princess stepped forward and asked Xie Guimo, "It's widely rumored outside that your grandfather was killed by Concubine Ye and the brother and sister of the Earl of Changping. Is it true?"
Xie Guimo nodded, "It's true, Concubine Ye confessed last night."
The tears that the princess had been holding back suddenly burst out.
She could never believe that her father and two brothers would die on the battlefield, and die together, but she also never thought that someone would harm her father and brothers, especially their most trusted "cousin".
The princess asked, "You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you tell mother?"
Xie Guimo said, "Father forbad me to tell Mother."
Chen Tang, "..."
Shen Tang's eyes twitched when he heard this.
If this guy gets beaten by the prince one day, it will definitely be his own fault.
Please don't say that.
The princess's face froze, "Your father also knew about this a long time ago?!"
Xie Guimo said, "My father told me that my grandfather and uncles died on the battlefield and might have been murdered by someone. There is another hidden story. My father has been investigating this matter for years. My mother trusted Concubine Ye too much. My father was afraid that you would worry. He was also afraid that you would let the secret slip one day and tell Concubine Ye, which would alert the enemy. My father was afraid that I would tell you, so he kept it a secret from me. He only told me when I asked him."
The princess burst into tears.
Xie Guimo said, "Father is also doing this for Mother's good. As for Concubine Ye not being real, Mother, do you still remember those letters? Tang'er and I asked Mother if she felt that Concubine Ye and the person who wrote the letters had very different personalities. Mother didn't suspect anything and even explained for Concubine Ye. We didn't have any solid evidence, so we didn't tell Mother."
The princess still remembered what happened more than a month ago.
She thought Xie Guimo and Shen Tang were asking out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that behind their questions, they suspected that Concubine Ye was not her cousin with whom she had correspondence. She had also been suspicious back then, but her doubts were easily dispelled. If she had been more careful and exposed Concubine Ye's imposter, her father and brother would not have been killed, and the Zhenguo Mansion would not have almost become extinct.
This incident was such a huge blow to the princess that she was on the verge of collapse. Finally, she was helped out by Mother Yun and the maid.
After being helped back to the Peony Courtyard, the prince returned home from court and saw that the princess was heartbroken. He knew that the princess already knew about it.
The princess cried, "Why did you hide it from me?"
Xie Guimo explained for the prince that the princess was angry, but not that seriously.
The prince hugged the princess distressedly and said, "I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I'm glad I did. You should know that Concubine Ye would never let you live until now."
The prince did not expect that it was Concubine Ye and the Earl of Changping who killed the Duke of Zhenguo and his son. He was just afraid that the princess would know about it and was distressed for not being able to find the enemy, so he chose to conceal it.
The princess' eyes were blurred with tears, and there was overwhelming hatred in her eyes.
"I want to see Concubine Ye!"
