Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, it didn't stop, but directly entered the palace.

It was already early morning.

But because it was cloudy, the sky was still gloomy.

It looks like night.

When the carriage stopped, the door was pulled open from the outside.

Habayashi Mamoru who was standing by the car spoke.

"Princess, please get out of the car."

Hua Manman bent down and got out of the car.

She lifted her skirt, stepped on the footstool, and slowly got out of the car.

With the help of the dim light emitted by the lantern, Hua Manman could clearly see the plaque hanging above the gate, on which were written the three characters of Yuhua Palace.

Yuhua Palace is the residence of Concubine Xian.

There had been a maid guarding the door for a long time, and when she saw Princess Zhao coming, she immediately went forward with a lantern.

"His Royal Highness, please come with your servants."

Hua Manman stepped over the high threshold and followed the maid into the Yuhua Palace.

The area that a lantern can illuminate is very limited.

Except for the small area under their feet, the rest of the place was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

It wasn't until they came to the entrance of the main hall, and the warm yellow light poured out through the door and window, that the sight in front of them became clear.

Since she didn't sleep all night, Concubine Xian looked a little tired.

She asked someone to prepare a pot of strong tea for herself to refresh her mind.

Seeing Princess Zhao walking in, Concubine Xian put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Hua Manman: "Didn't you say that the Empress Dowager summoned me?"

"The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, and I will receive you temporarily," Concubine Xian said unhurriedly, "Sit down as you please."

Hua Manman knew in her heart that the so-called summoning by the Queen Mother was just a lie fabricated by Concubine Xian and King Dongyang.

But she did not expose this layer of window paper.

She silently sat on the seat opposite Concubine Xian, intending to see what Concubine Xian wanted to do to her?

Concubine Xian poured her a cup of tea with her own hands.

"I'm really sorry. I called you here in the middle of the night and disturbed your dreams. Let's have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."

Hua Manman didn't touch the teacup.

Concubine Xian said softly: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the tea."

After speaking, she took a sip of tea in front of Hua Manman.

Hua Manman: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I didn't doubt what you meant."

Concubine Xian gently put down the teacup: "You are a smart person, even if I don't tell you about some things, you should be able to guess them."

Hua Manman knew in her heart that this was a serious matter.

Her expression remained unchanged, but her ears were quietly perked up.

Concubine Xian: "Recently, many things have happened in the palace. First, Concubine Liu Gui passed away, and not long after, the Fifth Prince also died..."

Hua Manman is very surprised.

The Fifth Prince actually died? when did it happen? Why doesn't she know?

Concubine Xian saw what was going on in her heart and took the initiative to explain.

"I don't know who the fifth prince was bewitched by. He believed that Concubine Liu Gui was killed by the King of Dongyang, so he insisted on seeking revenge from the Palace and the King of Dongyang. In order to protect the Palace, the King of Dongyang accidentally killed the Fifth Prince."

She sighed softly at this point, very helpless.

"I really didn't expect that things would develop to this point."

Hua Manman really wants to ask, is this the reason for your rebellion?

But reason suppressed her impulse.

She didn't say anything, just listened so quietly.

Concubine Xian: "The sage wants to kill Dongyang King to pay for the life of the fifth prince, but Dongyang King is the child born by this palace at the risk of her life in October. How can this palace watch him die? You are also a woman , you should understand my mood, right?"

Hua Manman is still silent and silent.

Concubine Xian slowly revealed her plan.

"Tomorrow the sage should come back from Yuqing Mountain, we have to control the whole of Shangjing before the sage returns.

Bengong has already taken care of the Patrol Division, and now there is only one Tiger Roaring Battalion missing.

And it depends on you, Princess Zhao. "

Hua Manman twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled: "You think too highly of me, King Zhao won't give up Huxiaoying just for a mere woman."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Concubine Xian said unhurriedly, with a calm and firm tone.

"You are special to King Zhao.

He tried his best to make you his concubine, and even sent away all the women in the backyard of the palace, leaving you alone by his side.

When you were taken away, King Zhao almost went crazy looking for you.

Knowing that you were kidnapped by Xiliang people, King Zhao went out of the city overnight to rescue you regardless of the danger.

For you, he would even give up his own life.

What is a mere Tiger Roaring Battalion? "

The flowers are long and silent.

Concubine Xian looked at her with complicated eyes: "You are luckier than most women in this world, because you have been treated wholeheartedly by a man."

Obviously they are all men, but the emperor has a lot of concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, but King Zhao can only love his concubine wholeheartedly.

As a member of the Sixth Court of Sangong, Concubine Xian couldn't help feeling a little envious.

If she can also marry a man who treats her wholeheartedly like Princess Zhao, she won't have to be forced to take this road of no return.

Hua Manman thought to herself, if she was really lucky, she wouldn't inexplicably travel to the book and be forced to die by the dog-forced system.

The dog forced the system: "..."

In the future, it must apply to add the word dog force to the list of harmonious vocabulary!

Concubine Xian smiled lightly again.

"But then again, it is precisely because King Zhao is too affectionate towards you that you become his weakness.

The original luck has also turned into your misfortune at this time.

This is probably the saying that misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings rest on misfortunes. "

The other party spoke very clearly, and Hua Manman knew that she could not get away with pretending to be a fool, so she simply opened the skylight to speak frankly.

"Even if you control the imperial palace and Shangjing, so what? Can you and King Dongyang stay in Shangjing for the rest of your life?"

The smile on Concubine Xian's face faded.

How could she not know this truth?

When the sage came back, he ordered people to surround the upper capital. Even if they guarded the city gate, they could only linger on.

The rebellion was doomed from the start to fail.

But Concubine Xian had no choice.

She said softly, "You don't need to worry about that."

Hua Manman tries to persuade her to turn around.

"Before things get serious, hurry up and let King Dongyang confess to the saint. For the sake of the relationship between father and son, the saint may be able to spare him."

Concubine Xian sighed faintly: "It's already too late."

There is no turning back when you open the bow.

When they put the Queen Mother under house arrest and killed Commander Habayashi, there was no turning back.

Hua Manman wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Concubine Xian.

"There is no need to persuade me, I have already prepared for the worst."

Just then, a eunuch hurried in.

"Report to Empress Xian, the Seventh Prince is ill!"
