Chapter 793: Parting in Peace
Jing Shilan's mother was not Mr. Jing's original wife, but Mr. Jing's second wife.
His original wife died of illness, leaving behind only an eldest daughter, who is Jing Shilan's sister.
Jing Shilan's sister is a very domineering person. In order to win the love of her father and elders, her sister can do anything. The young and naive Jing Shilan has suffered several times at the hands of her sister.
Later, Jing Shilan grew up and became smarter.
She understood that tolerance and forgiveness would not make the other party stop, but would instead put herself in a more miserable situation.
Only by fighting and competing can you get what you want.
So she started to go against her sister.
My elder sister is overbearing and wants to grab everything.
Jing Shilan pretended to be tolerant and generous, gave away all her things, and then inadvertently let the elders in the family know that her things had been taken away by her sister.
As time went by, the elders became increasingly fed up with my sister's behavior and began to criticize her for being too domineering.
Later, I heard that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was going to choose a Crown Princess and intended to choose one from the Jing family.
At that time, the only women of marriageable age in the Jing family were Jing Shilan and her sister.
Everyone is more optimistic about Jing Shilan's sister because she is the only daughter of the original wife, and her status is more advantageous than her, the daughter of the second wife.
During that time, Jing Shilan's sister was very arrogant. She felt that she would soon be able to enter the palace and become the Crown Princess, and she mocked and suppressed Jing Shilan in various ways.
Not long after that, Jing Shilan's sister accidentally fell into the water while out for fun and was rescued by a scholar.
She was hugging a man in public, her reputation was ruined, and her candidacy for the Crown Princess naturally fell through.
Jing Shilan successfully took over and ran for the Crown Princess in place of her sister.
Although she failed to become the Crown Princess in the end and only got the position of the Crown Prince's concubine, she did not regret scheming against her sister at all.
Because she still has a chance, she can still move up.
Maybe in the future she will be able to sit on the throne and become the queen who rules the country.
And her stupid sister could only marry that poor scholar, dealing with the daily necessities of life, and never have a chance to make a breakthrough in her life.
Jing Shilan still remembers that when she went home to visit her parents, her sister looked at her wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes and accessories, and the envy and jealousy in her eyes were almost unconcealable.
She would feel extremely happy in her heart.
She likes power, likes to be looked up to, and likes the feeling of being superior.
However, at this time.
She could only lie on the bed, dying, being looked down upon by another woman.
The other person looked down at her.
That look seemed indifferent, yet also seemed to be full of pity.
Jing Shilan didn't know where she got the strength from, she suddenly propped herself up and climbed up, grabbed the imperial concubine's sleeve, and said word by word,
"What qualifications do you have to look down on me?
You are just a substitute. The emperor has only liked Concubine Xiao from beginning to end.
The reason why he dotes on you is simply because you look similar to Concubine Xiao.
You are not the only one in this world who is similar to Concubine Xiao.
Maybe in the future the emperor will see someone else who looks more like Concubine Xiao. What will you do then?
You can only be like me. In order to win favor, you have to use all means and make yourself hateful.
Sooner or later...sooner or later, you will become like me."
If Xiao Xixi was really a substitute, even if she wasn't angry to death after hearing these words, it would feel like a thorn in her heart. Over time, this thorn would torture her beyond recognition.
But Xiao Xixi is still lucky after all.
She did not allow herself to become a pitiful substitute, and Luo Qinghan did not fall to the point of relying on a substitute to deceive himself.
Their identities have changed, but their feelings have never changed.
Xiao Xixi bent down, approached Concubine Jing, and whispered in her ear.
"I'll tell you a secret.
In fact, I am Concubine Xiao.
There has never been any so-called substitute. The emperor has only loved me from the beginning to the end."
Concubine Jing couldn't help but open her eyes wide, her face full of shock.
She retorted incredulously.
"No way. This is impossible."
Xiao Xixi straightened up and pulled back her sleeves little by little.
She turned and left, but when she reached the door, she stopped again, looked back at Jing Fei who was still in shock and unable to recover, and spoke softly.
"I didn't let you back to lure you into a trap.
I just want to give you a choice.
If you choose to sincerely repent, I will give you a lighter sentence.
Unfortunately, the path you ultimately chose is a path of no return."
Concubine Jing was still shocked by the truth that the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Xiao were the same person, and she didn't hear what Xiao Xixi said at the end.
Xiao Xixi pushed the door open and walked out, and saw Luo Qinghan standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back.
Luo Qinghan heard the door open and turned to look at her.
Those dark eyes glowed softly in the night.
"Are you done talking?"
Xiao Xixi walked over quickly, took his hand, nodded and said, "Well, it's all said."
Luo Qinghan looked at Eunuch Chang.
"Send the poisoned wine to Princess Jing."
He took the lives of Huachun and Zhier, hired someone to assassinate Lady Shao, and tried to murder the imperial concubine three times.
These charges combined were enough to cost her life.
If the Jing family could work harder, perhaps they could have saved Concubine Jing's life.
However, the Jing family can hardly protect itself now.
No one could save Concubine Jing, and she could only bear the consequences of her wrongdoings alone.
Eunuch Chang walked into the bedroom carrying the poisoned wine.
The door was quickly closed again.
Luo Qinghan took Xixi's hand and walked out of Yingfu Palace.
After tonight, there will no longer be a Concubine Jing in the palace.
After returning to Yunxiu Palace, the sky was already gray and dawned.
Normally, Luo Qinghan should get up and prepare for court at this time, but now he is still on New Year's Day leave, so Luo Qinghan does not have to attend the court early. He pulls Xiao Xixi to lie down on the bed again, planning to take another nap.
Xiao Xixi snuggled in Luo Qinghan's warm embrace and asked in a low voice.
"Can you promise me something?"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You say."
Xiao Xixi used her fingertips to gently pick at the embroidery on the edge of his clothes and whispered, "If one day in the future you don't like me anymore, you must tell me. I will never pester you, and I will never resort to any means to harm others just to get you back. Then we can just part ways in peace, okay?"
She has always tried to keep a distance between herself and the harem struggles.
Not just out of laziness, but out of fear.
She was afraid that one day she would become like Concubine Jing, disregarding human life and using any means necessary to get what she wanted.
Human desires are like a whirlpool. Once you fall into it, it is difficult to climb out.
Xiao Xixi waited for a long time before she heard Luo Qinghan utter two words indifferently.
"not good."
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
She looked up and met the man's dark and deep eyes.
Luo Qinghan said: "We can only get together, not part."
…
Good morning everyone!
Luo Qinghan: Want to break up? Unless I die.

Please give me a monthly ticket~~
