The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

It was as if they had met after many years of time and space, and he said, "Mother is indeed as beautiful as a fairy."

King Dongzhi poured himself a glass of wine. As the strong liquor went down his throat, he felt dizzy and before he could say a few words, he was already drunk.

As the night deepened, Madam Xi looked at the drunken Prince Dongzhi and said apologetically to them, "It's getting late. I've already ordered people to clean up the west wing. If you don't mind, you can stay here."

What does it mean to keep someone here? Ji Mengshu has been serving as Ning Rongzhang's wife obediently throughout the whole process. She is a quiet and non-troublemaking wife, and Ning Rongzhang's presence is also extremely low.

Instead, the two of them did not attract the attention of King Toshiba.

Ning Rongzhang bowed and said, "Then I'd better obey your command respectfully..." The servants around came up and led the few people to the west wing, while Madam Xi's own servant half-supported and half-carried Prince Dongzhi away.

Ning Rongzhang saw it all, and when the sound of brocade boots' footsteps gradually faded away on the bluestone road, he turned around, gave Wei Zheng a wink, and followed the servant to the west wing.

Ji Mengshu looked at the room with only one bed and asked in embarrassment, "What does it mean to have only one room?"

"What I mean is that you and I live together." Ning Rongzhang saw that there was no one outside, so he closed the door tightly.

She...she is still innocent.....Luckily there are two quilts on the bed. Ji Mengshu hugged the soft quilt and pointed to the floor, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors! Whoever loses will sleep on the floor!"

She is very fair and just.

Ning Rongzhang glanced at her and took the quilt from her hand. "Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to know that you and I are pretending to be a couple?"

Ji Mengshu curled her lips and said, "You just spoke too quickly. What do you mean by husband and wife?"

"If you are not mine, believe it or not, Xi Wenxuan will be able to take you to his house tomorrow." Ning Rongzhang described the result in a bland manner, scaring Ji Mengshu so much that he dared not speak.

If she had known earlier, she would have brought a few more secret guards with her. If they had not had to stay in Kyoto to protect her family, why would she have been forced into this state?

While his thoughts were going back and forth, Ning Rongzhang had already spread the bedding on the floor and lay flat on the carved wooden bed. "You sleep on the bed. It's not good for men and women to sleep together."

It seemed as if she was narrow-minded.

Ji Mengshu was lying on the bed, watching Ning Rongzhang put out the candle. The moonlight shone through the window, soft and gentle. Ji Mengshu hesitated and said, "Thank you very much..."

Then he fell into sleep.

Ning Rongzhang chuckled, this guy is really carefree.

The West Wing was quiet, but the East Garden seemed noisy. Madam Xi asked someone to bring some warm water. She twisted the handkerchief with her fingers that were peeling onion roots and wiped the man's face bit by bit.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

"Brother..."

"Who?" King Dongzhi seemed to hear someone calling him, "Wen Li...A Li..."

Mrs. Xi's fingers paused suddenly, and then she acted as if nothing had happened and wiped the man's face calmly, while stating the most heartbreaking fact.

"Your Highness, Wen Li died a long time ago. After she married in the capital, she gave birth to a son, the Wei Zheng you saw today. He is handsome. I think he looks 50% like Wen Li... It's a pity that Wen Li had a bad fate and passed away at a young age. Your Highness, please don't be sad..."

Someone suddenly grabbed his wrist. When King Dongzhi opened his eyes, he saw a bed curtain with brocade patterns. There were iron hooks tied to the four corners of the pear wood bed, reflecting a distorted and pale face.

"Your Highness! Your Highness..." Madam Xi struggled to break free from the shackles on her hands. Her well-maintained arms were already bruised. "I said something wrong, Your Highness... It's late at night, you should rest first."

The woman's tearful appearance was enough to make people feel sorry for her, but King Dongzhi had no intention of showing any sympathy for her. He sat up from the bed and held his dizzy head. The wine he drank today was so strong that he lost his composure. He tilted his head to look at Madam Xi and said, "I warned you a long time ago not to mention Wen Li again."

Madam Xi, who had always been obedient, showed some signs of resistance. She stared into the eyes of Prince Dongzhi and said, "Your Majesty was the first to bring it up. If you don't want to see the son of an old friend, why did you ask me to place him in the mansion?!"

The slender white neck was suddenly pinched, and the man pinched it effortlessly with one hand, as if he could break her neck bone with a slight bend. "I warn you, don't get involved in my affairs. Know your own status. If you do something like this again, I will not forgive you for the sake of our past relationship!"

The cold wind made people sober. After coming out of Dongyuan, King Dongzhi went straight back to his bedroom. On the contrary, the lights in Dongyuan's bedroom were not turned off all night.

The next morning.

Madam Xi is still Madam Xi.

All past events can be mentioned late at night. Long-accumulated past events are like clouds that can easily drag people into the abyss.

A wave of waves has risen again.

After the night watchman strikes the gong, the vendors go out to do business along the designated route.

Suddenly, screams were heard one after another in the alley, and then someone ran out in a panic, pointing inside and shouting, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead inside!!"

After the report was made, the government arrived a quarter of an hour later. After carefully questioning the person who discovered the bodies, they instructed people to move the bodies away.

It was not a big deal to see this, even the captain almost screamed in surprise. Among those people, there was a man in gorgeous clothes, and it was Xi Wenxuan.

"Someone! Someone! Hurry up and inform King Dongzhi! Oh, and Madam Xi too!"

Xi Wenxuan and several servants around him died in the alley. Madam Xi listened to the panicked words of the maid below, put down the teacup, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Xuan'er die?"

The maid was also terrified, "Madam, the body has been brought back by the captain. I have checked it and it is indeed...it is indeed Master Xi!"

Her fingers trembled involuntarily and fell to the ground with a clang. Madam Xi stood up and almost fell to the ground. "How...how did he die?"

Mrs. Xi was helped out of the front hall. There were five stretchers neatly placed in the yard, all covered with white cloth with dried blood on the edges.

The smell of blood filled the air, and Madam Xi almost fainted. The captain knelt down hurriedly, "Greetings, Madam. Master Xi has been killed. Please accept my condolences. The government will investigate the matter thoroughly and give you a result!"

"What's the use of that!" Mrs. Xi roared, crawling and kneeling to Xi Wenxuan's pale face, "Ah - my brother -"

Xi Wenxuan's face was as pale as a ghost, and after examination by the coroner, there were at least a dozen knife scars on his body.
