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

Knowing that Wei Zheng was in the palace, King Dongzhi relaxed his expression, but in the end he didn't know how to start the conversation.

When Wei Zheng came to visit him, he was able to see his face, which looked 50% like Wen Li, under the moonlight. He was terrified and avoided seeing him afterwards.

"What about others?"

Guan Ke said, "I am recuperating in Xiyuan..."

"Well, tell him to take good care of himself." King Dongzhi was silent for a moment, glancing at the white hair on his temples in the bronze mirror, "I am old..."

Guan Ke was terrified, "The prince is in his prime..."

Prince Dongzhi waved his hand and said, "I heard that the Prince Regent is going on a private visit in disguise and will host a banquet in the West Garden tonight."

The lights were on and the summer night was getting cooler. Two red lanterns were hung on the gate of the West Garden. Wei Zheng was helped in and walked towards the inner courtyard, holding his chest.

King Dongzhi sat high up, just like when he welcomed Wei Zheng before, Ning Rongzhang and Ji Mengshu sat side by side.

King Dongzhi said, "I haven't heard that the Regent has married a princess..." His eyes turned to Ji Mengshu behind him, who smiled.

"Before, it was forced by the situation. My daughter Ji Mengshu met the prince."

At the table, only Wei Zheng and King Dongzhi looked embarrassed.

The relationship of kinship is illusory, seeming to exist and not exist, but it cannot be ignored.

Wei Zheng did not change his words and still addressed him as uncle. The word "uncle" was like a thorn that pierced King Dongzhi's heart.

Ning Rongzhang, on the other hand, eased the situation. "Prince Dongzhi's illness has brought up a lot of old stories. Ah Zheng is injured, so I'm afraid he will have to continue to bother the palace for a while."

"So what does the Regent want to do this time?" After the words were spoken, King Dongzhi tapped the table with his fingertips, making a series of slight beeping sounds.

Ning Rongzhang twisted the teacup, the white porcelain teacup reflected the clear tea. Ning Rongzhang smiled and said, "The King of Dongzhi lives in a remote corner. No matter which emperor is in Kyoto, it cannot affect the peace and tranquility of the King of Dongzhi. But the prince forgot that Dongzhi is the territory of the Dali Dynasty..."

"what do you want?"

Ning Rongzhang said, "Donzhi is still your Dongzhi, but the Dali Dynasty is in danger. I believe your Majesty understands the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. I think it shouldn't be difficult for Dongzhi to contribute more money and effort, right?"

King Toshiba nodded. His only son was in Kyoto now. If the Dali Dynasty was stable, Kyoto would be stable, and if Kyoto was stable, Wei Zheng would be stable.

During the banquet, the important matter was settled.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

The banquet gradually ended, but King Dongzhi did not drink any wine and went straight to the East Garden.

Madam Xi stood in the yard with disheveled hair, food was scattered on the ground, and maids were kneeling on the ground in the yard. The maid standing in the yard held another portion of food and said, "Madam, please eat something..."

Madam Xi turned her head and said, "I am not a madam, so don't call me a madam."

"Madam, please stop talking nonsense. The guards in the front yard said that the prince woke up today..." The maid didn't know the secret yet, so she spoke rashly and speechlessly.

"He woke up, hahahaha, he was rescued by his own son. The brother and sister did all kinds of unkind and unjust things. It was Wen Li who caused me to be in this situation. She has been dead for so many years, but now she is still lingering around, leaving her son to take my life..."

The maids knelt on the ground, not daring to answer. A person stood at the gate of the courtyard, his shadow fell on the leaves of the geranium, and darkness grew in the corners.

"You have brought this upon yourself." Prince Dongzhi walked to the inner courtyard and looked at Madam Xi, who was in a frenzy. She stood with her hands behind her back and felt a dull pain in her heart, where she had vomited blood a few days ago.

“What’s the point of your saying all this now, Your Highness? The person Your Highness should thank most at this moment is me. If it weren’t for me giving Your Highness the twin inducer, how could Your Highness know that he and his sister had a child? Hahahaha——” Madam Xi was wearing a bright red peony skirt. Large patches of peony flowers bloomed in the night as her skirt turned, which was extremely beautiful.

"The prince and his sister are afraid of being in the spotlight, so they use me as a shield. Prince, do you still remember that when you were young, our parents introduced us, and I wore this dress to meet you. You see, it has been so many years, and I still keep it... But the prince still doesn't have me in his heart..."

King Dongzhi looked cold and said, "I told you long ago that I don't love you."

“Hahaha—Your Highness is right. For so many years, I have been too sentimental…” Madam Xi laughed and suddenly burst into tears. “My life has been a joke. The people I love don’t love me, and I can’t protect the people I want to protect. Maybe I should have died in that fire!”

Back then, she burned down Fushui Pavilion and wanted to burn Wen Li to death, but in the end, she was thrown into the fire by King Dongzhi. Perhaps from that moment on, she should have realized that King Dongzhi did not love her.

She had several burns all over her body and her arms were covered with large scars, which she never dared to show even in the summer.

King Dongzhi said, "Imprison him in the garden" and left.

Behind him came Mrs. Xi's long and short ghostly cries, which made people feel uneasy.

midnight.

Red and yellow flames shot up into the sky, burning everything that could be burned. The main house in the East Garden caught fire, and the flames illuminated the sky and the earth. The sound of the burning torches was accompanied by a "biting" sound.

After everyone put out the fire, the main house was basically burned down.

The door was locked from the inside, which meant that Mrs. Xi had deliberately set the fire and had never thought of coming out. She wanted to burn herself to death and end her life.

King Dongzhi drank a bowl of bitter medicine and said, "Well, let's bury him..."

Guan Ke accepted the order and asked, "Should we continue investigating Master Xi's death?"

King Dongzhi shook his head, "No need, evil will be punished."

Two people died in the Xi family at once. It was said that Mrs. Xi missed her deceased brother so much that she couldn't live and died of a serious illness.

Everyone sighed.

After dealing with Toshiba's affairs, Ning Rongzhang was about to leave. Wei Zheng watched Xiaoqi quietly packing her luggage and almost laughed out of anger, "Ning Rongzhang, do you still have a conscience?"

The latter raised an eyebrow and said, "Conscience is something that cannot be eaten or seen. It is dispensable."

Wei Zheng turned over, pointed at his chest where he had been operated on, and said, "Why, I'm still seriously injured and you're just leaving me like this, isn't that inappropriate?"

"You still want to go back to Kyoto? You know that Marquis Ningyuan doesn't want to see you, so why go back?" Ning Rongzhang made a big deal out of a small matter. Isn't it a hundred times better to have a strong father like the King of Toshiba than to have to live in Kyoto and have to please others?

That was true, but he didn't want to see King Dongzhi.

Wei Zheng just watched Ning Rongzhang and Ji Mengshu pack their luggage and leave him to say goodbye to King Dongzhi.

King Dongzhi did not try to keep them, but nodded and let them go.
