Chapter 259 If Wei State still existed, she would grow up with her cousin
Kunning Palace.
Upon learning that Xie Xiang and Xie Mingrui not only did not hand over Wen Xingluo's note and ask someone to sentence her to death, but also burned the note, Empress Mei couldn't help but tremble in her hands as she was pruning the peonies.
With a "click", the most beautiful Yaohuang flower fell from the branch in an instant.
Queen Mei suppressed her emotions and said, "Two idiots!"
He can't even use the evidence that's right at his doorstep!
She threw away the golden shears and added, holding her breath, "As stupid as their mother!"
The female official felt distressed, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself. The future and glory of our Mei family depends on you."
Queen Mei sat down on the recliner, suppressed her anger and closed her eyes.
Over the years, the emperor and the empress have been affectionate with each other on the surface, but in fact he is unwilling to promote the young people of the Mei family.
If the Mei family wants to make further progress, they can no longer rely on the emperor, so they can only wait for the prince to ascend the throne.
She slowly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Isn't Zhang Tingliu planning to host a spring banquet? Prepare a serving of Crane's Beak Red for me..."
The spring breeze blew away the woman's voice.
The Yao Huang that fell to the ground was gently blown away.
The next morning.
Wen Xingluo took the note that the little palace maid found under the pillow and went to Yuhe Palace.
Xie Xiang and Xie Mingrui hid in the flowers and watched her step into the palace. They couldn't help but smile at each other as if they were enjoying the show.
The palace is dilapidated and the curtains are hanging low.
Wen Xingluo sat in front of the low desk and quietly read the stack of notes.
——Your name is Wen Xingluo, and you are Xie Xiang and Xie Mingrui’s dog.
——You hate the Zhenbei Palace, hate Xie Guanlan, and hate your mother Wei Si.
——You were abandoned by your mother when you were young, so you have been secretly planning to kill Wei Si.
——You don’t like men, you like eunuchs.
…
The contents of the note were varied, describing in detail how she had been servile and fawning towards Concubine Zhang and her two children, and how she harbored deep resentment towards the people in the Zhenbei Palace.
Wen Xingluo had no expression on his face after reading it.
Stroking the stack of notes with her fingertips, she looked at the one under her pillow.
The handwriting is different.
The note hidden in Yuhe Palace was not written by her.
Although the person tried his best to imitate her, the vitality in her brushstrokes was something he could never imitate.
Someone destroyed the notes she hid in Yuhe Palace and then forged these.
There was something eerie about the whole thing about the note.
She left a note for herself, but she couldn't remember it at all. This proved that she must have experienced some very complicated things recently, and even those things were very unfavorable to her. She was forced to leave a note for herself secretly under extremely dangerous circumstances.
The most likely scenario is that her memory has been tampered with.
The note she hid in Yuhe Palace was to remind herself.
But now someone has tampered with her note as well.
His eyes fell on the two names "Xie Xiang" and "Xie Mingrui".
The two people who benefited from the content of the note were these two people, so they must have been the ones playing tricks on her.
If the contents of the note were completely opposite, she should deeply love the Zhenbei Palace and her mother Wei Si.
The note mentioned "Xie Guanlan" specifically, proving that this man was very important to her.
Wen Xingluo nodded affirmatively.
She hid the notes in her sleeves and slowly walked out of Yuhe Palace.
Xie Xiang and Xie Mingrui appeared outside, both with smirks on their faces.
Xie Xiang raised his chin and called out arrogantly, "Wen Xingluo, do you know who we are?"
Wen Xingluo bowed and said, "Long live the Third Princess and the Ninth Prince."
Seeing her so obedient, completely devoid of the sharp tongue and sharp words she had that day in Hanshuang Palace, the brother and sister couldn't help but feel proud.
Xie Xiang whispered to Xie Mingrui, "Tomorrow is Mother's Spring Banquet, and He's cousin will be there too. Let's pick a time when there are the most people around and have Wen Xingluo kneel down and bark like a dog, acting like a dog for us and making her look bad."
"What the Imperial Sister said is that the people of the Zhenbei Palace deserve to be humiliated!"
Wen Xingluo lowered his eyes.
She has a disordered memory, but she is not a fool.
But the two siblings completely treated her as a fool and didn't even avoid her when talking in private.
Xie Xiang ordered her, "You must go to the Spring Banquet tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Wen Xingluo responded “yes” obediently.
Returning to the bedroom, Wen Xingluo dismissed the palace maids and searched everywhere.
She found many small notes from various corners, such as inside pillowcases, under dressing tables, and deep in the closet.
The same name was written on all the slips of paper:
——Xie Guanlan.
It was her handwriting, but I didn't know when it was written.
Wen Xingluo sat on the glazed floor tiles inlaid with golden lotus flowers, propped up his face, and looked at the scattered notes on the ground.
"Xie Guanlan..."
The next day.
Wen Xingluo sat in front of the dressing table combing her hair.
She is the Princess of Wei, and she wants to restore the kingdom together with her cousin...
"Miss, there is a note under your pillow." The palace maid respectfully presented a note.
Wen Xingluo took it and found that the note said "Go to Yuhe Palace quietly."
She was about to put on her pearl shoes when she found another note inside them:
——Don’t go to Yuhe Palace and open the dressing box on the seventh floor.
Wen Xingluo opened the seventh layer of the dressing box, and found a stack of notes hidden inside. These were the ones she brought back from Yuhe Palace yesterday.
After looking at them one by one, she gained a new understanding of the current situation.
She was in a dangerous situation.
Someone tried to tamper with her memory, distort her past, and even forged the contents of the note in order to take away her loved ones.
"Xie Xiang, Xie Mingrui..."
She stared at the bronze mirror expressionlessly, murmuring the two names.
Wei Ying just came in from outside and placed the brocade box on the table. "To make the color more solid, I fired the little clay figurine a second time."
She took out two small clay figurines from the box.
The little clay figures are wearing brightly colored skirts, each of them proudly raises their chin, and hold hands, looking like the best sisters in the world.
Wen Xingluo looked at the little clay figurine, and a memory popped up in his mind:
My cousin is the apple of my uncle's eye and the last princess of the Wei Kingdom.
She and her cousin depended on each other in the deep palace. Although the times were difficult, her cousin was particularly good to her. They would always run hand in hand through the palace alleys on rainy days, sit in front of the dressing table to choose suitable palace flowers for each other to dress up, lie side by side on the ice mat on midsummer night and tell stories, and hide in the corner during palace banquets, covering their faces with round fans and quietly chirping for others.
Her cousin would help her make clay figurines and fold little mice with handkerchiefs...
Wei Ying leaned forward to stare at the little clay figurine, poking their cheeks with her fingertips. "You know what, Xie Zan has good taste. This little clay figurine really does look a bit like us. Wei Ning, the little clay figurine is in your bedroom, so don't break it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Wen Xingluo extending a hand towards her.
On the white and tender palm of her hand, there lay a little mouse on a handkerchief.
Wei Ying was puzzled, "What?"
Wen Xingluo argued confidently, "When I was a child, my cousin taught me how to fold a handkerchief mouse. Did she forget it herself? This little mouse is for you. If you dare to give it to someone else, I will never be friends with you again."
Wei Ying picked up the little mouse.
Wen Xingluo stepped forward and took her arm, with an innocent look on his face, "Cousin, we must be as good as these two little clay figurines!"
The little mouse made of a handkerchief is very light.
Wei Ying held it in her palm, but felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
She didn't live with her cousin when she was a child, and she never taught her how to fold a mouse.
Complex emotions surged in my heart, some sour and some sweet.
If the State of Wei still existed, she and her cousin would certainly have grown up together.
Maybe, she will really teach Ningning how to fold little mice.
But……
Wen Xingluo didn't notice Wei Ying's emotions. She sat back at her dressing table and pinned a palace flower into her bun. "The emperor is on a tour south of the Yangtze River. Since we want to restore our country, why not take advantage of his absence and kill all of his concubines? Since everyone is gathered together for the Spring Banquet today, why not take this opportunity to do it?"
