After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang pushed these clothes aside, patted Murong Zhixi and said, "You still have hope for her, that's why you will be disappointed."

"You mean I shouldn't have hope in her?"

"It shouldn't be." Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "You clearly know that she no longer has a mother-daughter relationship with you, and she doesn't even have sincere feelings for you. Is it good to be false and fake, is it worth cherishing?"

After hearing this, Murong Zhixi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "You are right, I have actually understood it a long time ago, but I just deceived myself, thinking that it would be better to be confused, but in exchange for being confused, It’s an insult from others.”

While the two were talking, they heard someone shouting something outside, and it was a mess.

Soon a maid came in and said hurriedly: "Princess, the maid from Qingyuanxuan jumped into the lake."

Murong Zhixi sat up in shock, "Jumped into the lake? Has anyone been rescued?"

"The person was rescued, but he kept crying, saying that he couldn't live anymore, and he still wanted to jump in."

Murong Zhixi got down from the Arhat bed and asked the maid to help her up, "But what happened?"

The maid looked at a loss for words, "You'd better go and have a look."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Murong Zhixi was a little panicked, so he stepped forward to comfort her and said: "You are inconvenient now. Just leave this matter to the steward of the palace to deal with it. There is no need to go and ask in person."

Murong Zhixi frowned, "If it were someone else, I would have left it to the person in charge, but this Yuanyang is different. She is the maid next to Concubine Ming. Since His Highness was injured and could not recover well, she was specially transferred to take care of His Highness. Yes. I can’t explain to Concubine Ming what happened to this mandarin duck.”

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, his thoughts changed: "You really have to go and see it."

"Please come with me." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "I'm afraid I can't handle it well."

"Isn't this bad?" After all, it was a family matter, so why should she get involved.

"Yunxiang, please, I'm afraid that Concubine Ming will blame me if I don't handle it well."

After the death of the British King's mother-in-law, she was raised by Concubine Ming, so Concubine Ming was half of Murong Zhixi's mother-in-law. Looking at Murong Zhixi again, she was obviously afraid of this mother-in-law. She looked uneasy and held her hand tightly.

Liu Yunxiang held Murong Zhixi's hand and said, "Okay."

The group of people arrived at the lakeside of the back garden, where many people were already gathered. The maids and servants were all whispering and giving directions.

When Murong Zhixi came over, they quickly dispersed.

Liu Yunxiang saw a maid wearing a purple gown lying on the ground, her whole body wet, leaning on the arms of a nanny with lace hair and wearing a brown gown.

She woke up and was out of breath crying.

"Mama Duan, what's going on?" Murong Zhixi asked the nanny with a frown.

Nanny Duan put down the mandarin duck, stood up and saluted Murong Zhixi, "Princess, this child entered the palace at the age of 12. The imperial concubine saw her cleverness, so she stayed with her to take care of her. This time, the empress is really worried about your highness. I asked Yuanyang to take care of my body because I didn’t want something like this to happen. I dare to say something fair, I don’t blame this girl.”

Murong Zhixi became even more confused after hearing this: "What happened, you have to explain clearly!"

At this time, the mandarin duck struggled to get up and knelt down in front of Murong Zhixi, "I have no shame in being a human being. I can't stay in the palace any longer, let alone go back to the palace. Please be kind to the princess and let me die!"

"What happened? Why don't you let me make the decision for you?" Murong Zhixi said with a headache.

As a result, when she asked this question, the mandarin duck started to cry again, crying so much that he lay on the ground, repeating in his mouth: "I can't survive this slave, I have no shame in living."

Murong Zhixi was upset by her crying and turned back to look at Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to support Murong Zhixi, and shouted: "The princess came here in person, not to listen to your cry. She can't survive one mouthful at a time. Even if she really wants to die, she shouldn't die in the palace to bring bad luck to the palace! "

After saying this, Nanny Duan looked up at Liu Yunxiang, looked her over, and then asked Murong Zhixi: "Princess, is this not from our palace?"

Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand and said, "She is my good friend."

“You shouldn’t interfere in the palace’s affairs over there.

"This……"

Liu Yunxiang snorted: "I don't want to get involved in the affairs of your palace, but I feel sorry for the princess who is about to give birth, and you slaves are giving her troubles one by one!"

Aunt Duan glanced at Liu Yunxiang again and was about to say something when Murong Zhixi intercepted her words.

"Yuanyang just wants to cry. Aunt Duan, please tell me."

Aunt Duan took a deep breath after hearing this, "That's what the old servant said. His Highness drank wine outside last night, and when he returned to Qingyuanxuan, he was waiting for his arrangement. It's just that His Highness was drunk, and the princess was pregnant. , the body has been inconvenient, maybe... ahem... He pulled Yuanyang to the bed, the girl was crying and shouting, and she was afraid of hurting His Highness, so in the end, His Highness took her body. "

"What?" When Murong Zhixi heard this, she couldn't help but stumbled back, tears welling up in her eyes, "You said His Highness wanted her?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, I can't help the princess, I can't help the noble concubine." The mandarin duck knelt down and kowtowed a few more times. His forehead was swollen from the kowtow, and he looked very pitiful.

Murong Zhixi couldn't stand, so Liu Yunxiang helped her sit down in the pavilion.

Nanny Duan also came over with Yuanyang, "Princess, if you give this Yuanyang a beating, she deserves it, but things have happened after all. She is a yellow-flowered girl, so you can't really force her to death."

"Mother Duan, tell me clearly, who wants to force her to death?" Murong Zhixi slammed the table in anger.

However, Grandma Duan was not afraid and said: "So please, Princess, make the decision and give Yuanyang a way to survive."

"A way to survive?" Murong Zhixi frowned, "How can I give her a way to survive?"

"Of course I'll ask the princess to make the decision and take her as His Highness's concubine."

Murong Zhixi clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling angry and hateful, but she didn't know what to say or how to deal with it, so she subconsciously looked at Liu Yunxiang again.

Liu Yunxiang's heart turned and said, "Princess, you can't just listen to her words. You need to confirm this with His Highness."

"Woo!" Yuanyang cried louder.

Aunt Duan also darkened her face, "What do you mean by this? It's a matter of innocence. Could it be possible that she could still throw dirty water on herself? Besides, she is a maid next to the imperial concubine. The empress has long been interested in finding a good marriage for her. She can never be someone else’s concubine, that would be enough to wrong her!”

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "It's really not easy to talk nonsense when it comes to innocence. But I think, this maid looks... ahem... barely able to see. Even if His Royal Highness is drunk, he won't be able to face such a person." You have such a promiscuous face, don’t you think so?”

As soon as these words came out, the mandarin duck stopped crying. She was sad and angry for a moment, but she couldn't refute it. She couldn't just yell that she was good-looking.

Aunt Duan's face darkened: "There is no need to be so troublesome. This morning, a maid saw Yuanyang on His Highness's bed and was still pressed in his arms."

"If the princess cannot make the decision for Yuanyang, we will go to the palace and ask the imperial concubine to administer justice!"
