Chapter 223 The Reason for Betrayal

Nanyi Xuancheng, the imperial palace.

Gu Yunxi sang a lullaby while gently shaking the cradle at hand.In the cradle, a beautiful little princess is sleeping soundly, looking very cute.

She suddenly heard a strange noise in the hall outside the dormitory, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, she hurriedly asked the nurse to take care of the little princess, and walked out of the dormitory with her skirt, and went to the hall to have a look.

There was no one in the hall where there should have been maids on duty.

"Someone here?" Gu Yunxi shouted, "Is anyone there?"

A figure walked out from the bead curtain, and it looked particularly intrusive under the candlelight.

Gu Yunxi took a closer look and covered her mouth in surprise: "Xiaoman? Why are you here?!"

"Long time no see, Yunxi." Xiaoman lifted the bead curtain with one hand, and walked in front of Gu Yunxi, "I heard that you gave birth to a little princess, I really congratulate you."

Seeing Xiaoman's expression, Yunxi immediately felt guilty.

But suddenly hearing the sound behind her, she turned to look, and found that Yingying was walking out of the bedroom holding her child.

Gu Yunxi suddenly became frightened, and turned to look at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, what are you doing?!"

"Nothing? I just want to ask you a few questions." Xiaoman put his index finger to his lips and asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping child: "Shh, keep your voice down, I just want you to be clear Chu Di, tell me, did you leak the news about me in Xuanji Temple back then?"

Yunxi thumped in her heart, looked at the delicate child in Yingying's hands, and said to Xiaoman, "It's not me..."

Hei Yao stood out from the shadows, staring at Gu Yunxi's eyes as if he could see through people's hearts, then shook his head at Xiao Man.

Xiaoman tilted his mouth upwards, pointed at the baby in Yingying's hand, and threatened, "Yunxi, tell me the truth."

Gu Yunxi bit her lip and looked at her child, and said angrily to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you and I love sisters, and you suspect that I leaked your tracks to Brother Jiuhuang?!"

"Huh?" Xiaoman was a little puzzled, "I thought you leaked my whereabouts to Jinyun Villa, but I didn't expect you to leak it to Gu Yunshen? This surprised me."

"!!!" Gu Yunxi covered her mouth, her eyes immediately panicked.

Yingying didn't know when to insert four silver needles between her right fingers, aiming at the sleeping baby in her arms.

Gu Yunxi was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Xiaoman, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Xiaoman, Xiaoman, don't hurt my child... Please, don't hurt my child..."

Xiaoman squatted down and faced Gu Yunxi face to face. Seeing that her face was pale with fright and tears were rolling in her eyes, she asked, "Why did you do this?"

Gu Yunxi covered his face and wept, trying to keep his crying down, afraid of waking up the sleeping child: "Because you are in Nanyi for a day, I feel uneasy..."

"I never thought of hurting you, and I regard you as my best friend and sister," Xiao Man shook his head and said, "And your brother Gu Yunzheng is competing with Gu Yunshen for the throne, so why do you help Gu Yunshen? not understand?!"

"Because... because..." Yunxi replied guiltily, "Because as soon as you entered the Nanyi Palace, I could see that His Majesty's friendship with you is definitely not an ordinary friend. I know that His Majesty once rejected me as a marriage partner , and it was you who was appointed to marry me, and you came to Nanyi suddenly, I felt a deep threat..."

"What?!" Xiao Man could hardly believe it, "You think He Lianjing likes me?!"

"It's not that I think, it's for sure!" Yunxi replied, "The way he looks at you and when he talks to you is very different from usual. He not only likes you, but also respects and admires you. I'm not afraid that Jialian will be favored, But I'm afraid that your appearance will snatch away His Majesty's favor from me. Xiaoman, you don't know how precious and special you are in the eyes of those men. So when Brother Jiuhuang learned that you were in Nanyi, he came to ask where you are Where. I know he also likes you very much, so even if he knows where you are, he won't hurt you, so...so..."

Xiaoman stood up, looked down upon Gu Yunxi who was lying on the ground, and sneered, "Are you jealous of me?"

"Yes!" Yunxi looked up at Xiaoman, "I'm jealous of you, not just me, every one of my sisters is jealous of you. You were originally just a child bride in Leifu, with a low status, but you became the cure for the plague in Kyushu. Hero, because of the relationship between your aunt and aunt, your father valued you, and your mother and concubine also spoke highly of you. Not to mention Lei Yuxiu's friendship with you, even Gu Yunzheng and Gu Yunshen never forget you. Later, you became Beibei again. Princess Rong Daizheng has the highest power. These are things that we people dare not even think about, but you snorted and ran to Nanyi suddenly! I don’t want you by my side like this, as if your existence is to show off My own specialness makes me ashamed... So, I thought that as long as Gu Yunshen is willing to take you away from Nanyi, then His Majesty can give up..."

At this time, He Lianjing and Jia Lian suddenly walked in from the door.

He Lianjing looked angry, while Jia Lian was full of surprise.Obviously, the two of them heard exactly what Yunxi had just said.

Seeing the two of them, Yunxi immediately panicked, "Your Majesty, Empress Empress..."

Yingying put down the silver needle between her fingers, handed the little princess into Jialian's arms, and stepped aside.

Jia Lian hugged Yunxi's child and sighed: "Concubine Yun, you not only betrayed Xiao Man, but also made this palace and His Majesty wrong, can you be convicted?"

"..." Only then did Yunxi understand that Chang Xiaoman had expected her to reveal her secret in Weishan, and told He Lianjing and Jialian about it.At this time, Xiao Man just wanted her to admit it in front of the two of them.

He Lianjing looked at Gu Yunxi disappointedly: "Concubine Yun, I always thought you had a straightforward and benevolent temperament, but I didn't expect you to be like this."

Yunxi looked at He Lianjing, smiled lightly and said, "It's because your majesty thinks I'm Xiaoman's cousin, so you think I have the same temperament as her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Lianjing asked frowning.

Yunxi stood up and looked at He Lianjing: "In the eyes of Your Majesty, I am just a substitute for her, Chang Xiaoman, right? I have a similar appearance and a similar personality, so that's why I take a few more glances at me." , isn’t it? At that time, Chang Xiaoman really came to Nanyi and lived in Weishan not far from Xuancheng. No one can see how happy you were in those few days. Even the food you gave me The names given to the children all carry her shadow!"

He Lianjing was furious: "Concubine Yun, I think you are crazy to say such crazy words!"

Yunxi looked at Xiaoman, pointed at her daughter in Jia Lian's arms, and said with a sneer, "Chang Xiaoman, do you know what this child's name is? Her name is Helian Sangxue. When the mulberry becomes the snow' poem!"

He Lianjing immediately denied it and said, "Just talk about it."

"Concubine Yun! You have misunderstood! This name was not thought of by His Majesty, but by Bengong." Jia Lian put the child into the arms of the nurse who rushed over, and said helplessly to Yunxi, "At that time, Your Majesty gave it to you. The child in her belly was named Sad, so she asked Bengong for his opinion when playing in the countryside. It was May at that time, and seeing the farmers in the suburbs raising silkworms to harvest rice, Bengong thought of "making it into white snow, mulberry and green, and cutting it all The poem "Huang Yundao Zhengqing" suggests to His Majesty that if it is a girl, it should be called Sang Xue, and if it is a boy, it should be called Zhengqing..."

Yunxi took a step back and looked at He Lianjing in a daze.

He Lianjing nodded to him and said: "Concubine Yun, you presumptuously guessed my intentions. I never confused you with Xiaoman, but really admired your straightforward, talkative and considerate character. But you underestimated me My feelings for you really make me chill."

Hearing what He Lianjing said, Gu Yunxi didn't know whether he was happy or worried for a moment.

She bowed her head to reflect on herself, and slowly knelt down in front of him, weeping uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake..."

"It's not me that you should apologize," He Lianjing said to Yunxi, "Because of you, Xiao Man lost her child indirectly, you should apologize to her."

Gu Yunxi was taken aback, and looked at Xiaoman in disbelief.

Xiaoman's eye circles were already red at this time: "Yunxi, I came to Nanyi at that time to find a place where no one knew about the world to give birth to my child safely. But now, my child is gone. But you can live happily in this deep palace with your daughter in your arms. Do you think this is fair?"

"I don't know...I..." Gu Yunxi never thought that things would turn out like this, and said guiltily, "Xiao Man, I didn't intend to harm you. At that time you broke up with Lei Yuxiu, and Brother Jiuhuang found me Please let me know your whereabouts, I think he likes you so much, maybe you will have a result... I... really didn't mean to hurt you... I'm sorry, Xiaoman, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Man took a deep breath, ignored Gu Yunxi, turned around and bowed to He Lianjing and Jia Lian: "The matter finally came to light, and I have no regrets. It's a pity that there is one less sister and friend in the world. "

Hearing this, Gu Yunxi covered his face with his hands and burst into tears of self-blame.

"Then where are you going after that? Do you want to stay in Nanyi?" Jia Lian took Xiaoman's hands and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty and I are both responsible for your child's matter, so we didn't protect him well. You, why don't you just stay here for now, so we can have a chance to make up for it."

Xiaoman shook his head and said goodbye: "Empress, I can't stay in Nanyi for long. I have to take the child's coffin to Beirong and bury him next to someone I trust the most."
