The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Xingzhang Palace.

As soon as Gu Changxuan arrived, he felt the desolation here.

Although my mother always likes quietness, as one of the four concubines in the palace, her status is second only to the queen. The Xingzhang Palace where she has stayed in the past has never been so deserted.

More often than not, there is order in the midst of chaos.

Not like today.

Gu Changxuan looked over.

There were obviously fewer palace maids.

Looking at this scene, you can guess what is going on without thinking too much.

The people in this palace have always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.

Now that his mother has been neglected by his father and the Xiao family has fallen, he will soon leave Kyoto and go to his fiefdom.

These people felt that their mother had been defeated, so they naturally wanted to find a better place for themselves.

There's nothing much to say, it's just human nature.

He's been used to it since he was a kid.

Gu Changxuan said nothing and continued walking inside with a cold expression.

The palace maids in the corridor were originally gathered together talking and did not see Gu Changxuan coming. Suddenly, they heard footsteps in the yard and turned around to look.

Wait until you see Gu Changxuan.

Several palace servants first widened their eyes in disbelief, but when they realized that this was true, they immediately stood up with pale faces.

"Your Highness!"

They stood up and greeted Gu Changxuan.

Gu Changxuan ignored the palace servants' greetings and walked straight inside.

The palace servants were trembling with fear and did not dare to stand up.

At this moment, a young eunuch ran in from outside, panting and shouting, "Sisters, sisters, I heard a piece of news!"

Gu Changxuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his hearing is naturally better than many people. He also heard this sound.

He guessed that the eunuch was probably going to talk about him being crowned king and going to his fiefdom. Gu Changxuan ignored him, but the palace servants were so scared that they quickly shushed him and said, "Shut up, the prince is coming!"

Gu Changxuan walked to the inner hall.

Rong Yu was wiping her tears as she came out with a pale and tired face.

I saw Gu Changxuan coming towards me.

She didn't know about the crowning yet, and just thought that he had just been released from house arrest and came to see the queen.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness! You are finally out!" Finally there was something happy happening. Rong Yu was overjoyed and there was finally a smile on his face.

But just as her smile spread, she suddenly felt sad again. She cried and said to Gu Changxuan: "Your Highness, the princess is gone, the princess is gone!"

When Gu Changxuan heard this, he pursed his lips silently and did not speak for a long time.

Even if he usually disliked his sister's recklessness and arrogance, she was his biological sister after all.

It is the person in this world who is truly related to him by blood.

Now that she is gone, how could he not feel sad?

When he heard the news, he ignored the fact that he was still under house arrest and almost rushed out of the Prince's Mansion. After being stopped by someone, he asked Feng Li how An Cheng got into trouble.

He wants the person who killed An Cheng to pay with his life!

At that time, Feng Li hesitated for a long time before he finally told the truth with difficulty.

Gu Changxuan just thought it was ridiculous at that time.

His uncle accidentally killed his sister, and he couldn't even find anyone to avenge him.

Is he going to take revenge on his uncle?

Besides, his uncle has already had an accident.

"...Where's my mother?"

After a long time, Gu Changxuan spoke in a hoarse voice.

Rong Yu also quickly wiped her tears and said to Gu Changxuan: "The queen is inside. I will ask someone to go to the imperial kitchen to get food. You should spend time with the queen and talk to her today."

"The Queen..."

As Rong Yu was talking, she started crying again and couldn't go on.

The one who has suffered the most during this period is the Empress.

The queen regrets every day.

Gu Changxuan said nothing, just nodded and went in.

Rong Yu watched him leave, then immediately wiped her face and went out.

She thought that since the prince was coming today, she would have to persuade the queen to eat more. Since the princess passed away, the queen seemed to be punishing herself...

He refused to eat or drink water.

The queen used to be plump, but now she has become extremely thin.

Fortunately, His Highness was released.

Your Majesty still has some hope.

Thinking of this, Rong Yu also perked up a little.

As soon as she went out, she saw a few young palace maids gathered together whispering, and she subconsciously frowned.

No rules!

The Queen is very strict with rules.

But I can't say anything bad about the palace maids.

When Rong Yu was in charge of these palace servants, he seldom treated them well.

After all, she and the empress can't just be good people.

But looking at the desertedness of this yard, I thought that things are different now than before, and there are only so many people left. If it were the same as before, I'm afraid these people would not be able to stay.

Rong Yu thought of this and his expression softened a little: "What are you talking about?"

Those people didn't expect Rong Yu to come out.

Now, those who stayed in Xingzhang Palace were all young palace maids with no qualifications and nowhere to go. They were afraid of rain in the past, and now that they were caught, they trembled with fear and lowered their heads to call people "Auntie".

Being watched by Rong Yu, they were a little hesitant, but they did not dare to hide anything.

The leading maid said hesitantly to Rong Yu, "We heard that His Highness was named Prince Jing."

"what?"

Rong Yu was stunned.

His Highness was crowned king?

when did it happen?

Her first reaction was happiness. Being crowned a king was a good thing, but why didn't His Highness say anything just now? She subconsciously wanted to go in and congratulate His Highness so that the Queen could also be happy. However, seeing those maids hesitating and not looking happy at all, her heart sank.

"Anything else?" she asked in a deep voice.

The maids dared not hide anything, and buried their heads, and told the truth: "His Majesty has granted Your Highness a fief in Guizhou, and people outside are saying that Your Highness will go to Guizhou soon."

"what!"

Rong Yu was shocked by these words and his eyes widened suddenly.

Go to the fiefdom?

that……

She turned around and was about to go in.

When he reached the threshold, he stopped again.

Even if I get in, what can I do?

His Highness has just been released and the Queen has been neglected by His Majesty. His Majesty has not visited her once during these days of illness. Even if she goes in now, what can she say and what is the use?

For a moment, Rong Yu felt that the road ahead was hopeless.

Originally, I still had His Highness as my hope, but now...

Rong Yu's face turned pale, and tears really fell like rain. If His Highness passed away, what would the Queen do in the future?

Inner Temple.

Empress Xian was also crying.

The moment she saw Gu Changxuan appear, she thought her tears, which had dried up long ago, began to fall uncontrollably again.

"It was me who harmed An Cheng."

"I am sorry to your uncle. I am the one who harmed the Xiao family!"

Empress Xian has really lost weight.

There was no extra flesh on his body and he was so skinny that he was afraid that if the wind was strong enough, he would fall down.

But even if there is no wind in the room.

She looked pale and didn't look like she could last long.

I get out of breath if I speak quickly.

After she learned the news of An Cheng's death and how she died, she could no longer hold back.

She has killed countless people in her life.

She usually eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures. She seems compassionate, but in fact, she never cares about other people's lives in her heart.

Otherwise, when she thought that Mingyao would become an obstacle to Changxuan, she would not have made up her mind so quickly and asked her brother to send someone to kill her.

Stop her from marrying Xuan'er.

But she never expected that this knife would actually stab her relatives.

Her daughter...

The daughter whom she had loved since childhood died because of her!

Just thinking about this incident, Empress Xian was so sad that she burst into tears. It seemed as if she couldn't stop her tears from falling down in strings.

Gu Changxuan looked at her tears, and felt a little bit of blame in his heart.

If it weren't for the mother's self-determination, how could the matter have turned out like this? He didn't care about Mingyao's death, and he also knew that Mingyao's death was the best thing for him.

He was just annoyed that his mother and uncle were not careful.

Now that the Xiao family has fallen, his greatest support outside is also gone.

Those ministers who followed him in the past will probably also surrender to the prince.

I'm going to Guizhou again soon.

From now on, his mother will be in the deep palace, and he doesn’t know how to understand the affairs of Kyoto.

But what's the use of blaming?

Would blaming him bring things back to the beginning? Would it make his father not be disappointed in him? Would it make him stay in Kyoto instead of going to Guizhou?

No.

Besides, he also knew that his mother did these things for his future.

Seeing his mother crying so hard that she started coughing violently, Gu Changxuan silently lowered his eyes, raised his hand and gently patted his mother's back, while comforting her: "It's over, mother, you have to look forward. You are the only one my son has now, and you can't get into trouble again."

Empress Xian cried and said nothing.

If it weren't for Xuan'er, she really couldn't let it go.

Otherwise, she would have followed Jiarou as soon as she knew something was wrong.

So she just sobbed and said nothing at this time.

Gu Changxuan waited until she had almost finished crying, helped her sit up, and then handed her a handkerchief. After Concubine Xian took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, he continued to say, "My son came here today, and I have something else to tell you."

In fact, seeing his mother's behavior, Gu Changxuan didn't want to say this.

There's no point saying this now.

I’m afraid it will make my mother even more sad.

But judging from his father's expression, he is now disgusted with him and his mother. After he leaves the palace today, it will be difficult for him to enter the palace again in the future.

I'm afraid this was the last time they met before he went to Guizhou.

There are some things he has to say.

There are some things that he must explain in advance.

Empress Xian wiped her face and replied, "You say."

Gu Changxuan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before telling his mother everything his father had just said to him.

"What did you say?!"

Empress Xian widened her eyes and looked at Gu Changxuan in disbelief.

When she came to her senses, she immediately panicked and said, "No, no, you can't go. Once you go, how can you come back? I'll go see your father and talk to him in person!"

"I'll go and beg him!"

As she spoke, she was about to struggle to get out of bed, but Gu Changxuan reached out to stop her.

"it's useless."

"The imperial decree has been issued. Father's words are golden and cannot be changed."

Seeing that his mother ignored him and insisted on getting out of bed, Gu Changxuan began to feel annoyed.

"Mother concubine!"

"Wake up!"

He suddenly withdrew his hands, stood up, looked down at Concubine Xian and shouted loudly.

Empress Xian was startled by the shout.

She looked up at her son.

Gu Changxuan looked at her and said, "Mother, why do you think the emperor didn't come to see you? Has the emperor come to see you during the days you were sick?"

Empress Xian's already pale face gradually turned even paler under Gu Changxuan's questioning.

The two bloodless lips trembled.

She was speechless.

She knew why His Majesty didn't come to see him.

Even if His Majesty personally determined his brother's guilt, whether he believed it or not had nothing to do with her, and I'm afraid only His Majesty himself knew.

"Even before, mother couldn't do anything, let alone now! Son, please stop making trouble!"

"My son has been tired and annoyed enough recently!"

He knew that he was taking his anger out on others. He was venting all his resentment that he had no place to vent for days on his mother.

By the time I reacted, it was too late.

But it was precisely because of these words that Concubine Xian, who had just been struggling to go out, finally calmed down.

Gu Changxuan looked at this scene and felt a little annoyed and a little self-blaming.

He pressed his hand against his forehead in annoyance and apologized, "I'm sorry, mother, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you."

"It's my fault. I've let you down."

Empress Xian also calmed down at this time.

Gu Changxuan looked at her, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Empress Xian was silent for a while before she asked him, "When are we leaving?"

Gu Changxuan sat down again and replied in a hoarse voice: "My father didn't give a strict order, but he also said that it would be just these few days. Today should be the last time my son will enter the palace before he leaves."

When Empress Xian heard this, her eyelids twitched again.

She clenched her hands tightly, and after a while, she looked at Gu Changxuan and said, "There will be a chance. Mother believes that you will definitely come back."

To be honest.

In fact, having come to this point, Gu Changxuan no longer had any hope in his heart.

The road ahead is uncertain.

He himself couldn't see where his hope lay.

But looking at his mother's stubborn eyes, Gu Changxuan nodded. Neither he nor his mother were willing to be inferior to others. Anyway, his father was still alive. No one knew what the final outcome would be...

"Mother can't help you in the palace, but your uncle has some people he keeps outside. You can contact them in the future."

This is more like his mother.

Seeing that his mother had finally recovered, Gu Changxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Son knows, son will."

The afternoon sun shines into the inner hall.

The mother and son knew that after today's separation, they wouldn't know when they would see each other again, so they talked a lot.

The two of them didn't rest until Rong Yu came over with the meal.

Gu Changxuan accompanied Concubine Xian for lunch before preparing to leave the palace.

Before leaving, Concubine Xian told him: "Your uncle's family is implicated by me. Your uncle is doomed to die and cannot be saved. But your aunt and several brothers are still alive. I heard from Rong Yu that they will be exiled."

"When you go out, remember to take care of it and don't let them suffer."

Gu Changxuan knew what to do without Empress Xian telling him. He nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, mother. I will."

Empress Xian naturally trusted him.

Just thinking about their separation and not knowing when they will meet again, she couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Guizhou is a long way to go, you have to take good care of yourself and don't worry about me."

When Gu Changxuan heard this, he suddenly felt sad.

His eyes were also red.

He said to Concubine Xian: "Mother, you must also take good care of yourself."

Concubine Xian smiled and nodded to him: "Don't worry, mother won't die if she doesn't see you sitting in that position."

"Mother is waiting for you to come back." After she said that, she wanted to raise her hand to touch Gu Changxuan's head. But when she reached out her hand, she found that her son was already much taller than her.

She could no longer reach it.

"Go."

Empress Xian took back her hand and said, "Your father is afraid of us now. It's not good for you to stay here for too long."

Gu Changxuan looked at her and nodded, then solemnly said goodbye to her.

Then he got up.

Rong Yu wiped her tears and went to see him off.

Empress Xian watched him leave, tears welling up in her eyes. She clenched her wrists tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

She can't die.

Nothing can happen to her.

She is waiting for Xuan'er to come back!

Empress Xian looked at Gu Changxuan's figure, her mind lingering on what Song He had said to her that day.

Empress Xian's eyes dimmed, but she had secretly made up her mind in her heart.

……

the other side.

Gu Changxuan walked out of Xingzhang Palace and met Song He.
