The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 291 Keep your voice down

The palace was naturally decorated magnificently, comfortable and warm.

Xue Qingyin took a bath and changed her clothes, then got into bed.

Back in the capital, there was no tension as imagined, and no wolves around.

Probably because they hadn't really torn their faces apart yet...

Hey, go to sleep!

On the other side.

The lights in the palace had been on for a long time, and the palace servant came in and was about to bow and turn off the lights.

"Don't move." The person on the bed sat up suddenly.

The palace servant startled: "Your Highness... Are you still not sleeping?"

"I... can't sleep."

The palace servant comforted her: "That bone steaming disease is over, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

"I know."

"Then why is Your Highness having trouble sleeping?" The palace servant was surprised.

She remembered that the princess hadn't had nightmares and couldn't fall asleep for a long time...

The fourth princess gathered her thin coat and sat blankly at the head of the bed, without answering.

She just... because an old friend came.

She wanted to see him, but couldn't, and couldn't sleep.

"Your Highness, go to sleep. If you have anything on your mind, we'll deal with it tomorrow." The palace maid advised again.

Since the fourth princess left Wanpin, her status in the palace has become higher and higher. She has changed her temperament, and the palace maids around her have gradually treated her sincerely.

She now has a few confidants.

Hearing the palace maid's sincere advice, the fourth princess came to her senses and said with more energy: "You are right."

She should go to bed earlier.

After a good night's sleep, she will be able to see him tomorrow.

When Prince Xuan takes her back to Beijing, the emperor should set up a family dinner... Then, she will be able to see him naturally.

The fourth princess quickly lay back.

"Turn off the lights." She said.

The speed of the action surprised the palace maids.

So... is it persuaded?

Prince Xuan slowly got up and prepared to follow the palace maid to see the emperor.

Xue Qingyin woke up suddenly and grabbed his sleeve: "Where are you going?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

King Xuan looked back at her.

She was half asleep, but she still forced her eyelids open. She looked pitiful and cute.

He raised his hand to cover her eyes and said, "I'll be there soon."

Xue Qingyin barely pulled herself together: "Going to see the emperor?"

"Yes."

"Without me?"

"Yinyin, take a rest."

"He... won't bully you, will he?"

King Xuan looked at her.

She had seen his scheming, but she still said such words.

Did he not want him to suffer any grievances?

Xue Qingyin muttered: "I'm much better at choking people than you. If I go, I only need to say two or three words to make him feel uncomfortable."

King Xuan embraced her: "Well, then I'll carry you over."

Xue Qingyin thought this was good, and immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

After a while,

Emperor Liang De: "I only summoned you."

Prince Xuan said calmly: "Yinyin can't leave me."

Emperor Liang De: "..."

Not surprising at all.

When she was not pregnant, she was so delicate. Not to mention the current state.

What should be said should be said.

Emperor Liang De asked about the situation in Yizhou, the Meng clan, and showed concern for Prince Xuan and his wife. Then he said: "The prince should be waiting for you."

After speaking, Emperor Liang De observed Prince Xuan's reaction.

Prince Xuan said: "I will go to the East Palace to visit her."

"Go."

Prince Xuan got up and hugged Xue Qingyin again.

There was a stove next to Xue Qingyin, and she slept more soundly in the warmth.

When Emperor Liang De saw Prince Xuan's actions, he couldn't help but ask, "You still took her with you?"

Prince Xuan looked directly into Emperor Liang De's eyes and said, "Yes. If Yinyin wakes up and sees that I didn't take her with me, she will be angry. She can't be angry now."

At that moment, Emperor Liang De felt that Prince Xuan seemed to be observing his reaction.

The atmosphere in the palace was silent, and there was a kind of indifferent and silent confrontation.

Some unclear emotions emerged in Emperor Liang De's eyes. He smiled and broke the silence: "I am waiting for an ancestor to come back."

Prince Xuan's mouth twitched, and he seemed to smile a little.

Then he carried Xue Qingyin out.

The East Palace had already gone to bed at this time, but because of Prince Xuan's arrival, everyone in the palace was pulled out of the winter quilt.

The prince was in particularly bad health after entering winter.

Seeing that the bone steaming disease was about to pass, the prince could breathe smoothly and sleep well.

The palace servant walked to his side quietly and called out, "Your Highness, King Xuan is here."

The prince woke up with a start.

"What time is it?" he asked.

The palace servant replied, "It's midnight."

The prince: "..." "When did King Xuan care so much about me? He was so impatient to come to see me in the middle of the night?"

The prince was served to sit up, his face was long, and the four words "like losing one's parents" were the most appropriate to describe it.

But the play that should be performed still had to be performed.

Who asked the tiger talisman and those things to be lost... He could no longer replace King Xuan's name and gather the old subordinates of Prince Zhang.

Now that his father was tyrannical and ruthless, he had no choice but to live in grievance and put his hope on King Xuan.

When he heard the footsteps, the prince almost immediately spoke: "You are finally back."

There was fatigue and pain in his tone.

But when he saw that the man was holding someone in his arms, the prince's many emotions came to an abrupt end.

"Why are you..."

"Is the prince sick?" King Xuan asked.

The prince stood there for a while.

When King Xuan came to see him, he insisted on bringing Xue Qingyin with him... Didn't Xue Qingyin say she was pregnant again? Aren't you afraid that she will slip again due to the bumpy ride?

He should have recalled the past and aroused the deep brotherly love... but it was disrupted like this.

The prince cheered up and responded: "Yes. Father has entrusted me with many affairs of state.

"Congratulations, Prince." King Xuan said coldly.

"What are you congratulating? Do you think that Father has finally valued me again? Father is using this excuse to send me to death with a legitimate reason. He eliminated our in-laws, and from then on, he no longer regarded us as his sons." The prince smiled bitterly.

King Xuan didn't say anything.

The prince's heart "stomped", thinking that King Xuan was a little too calm.

While watching his face, the prince said: "Do you know who Father really likes?"

King Xuan: "The Seventh Prince."

The prince's face changed: "How do you know? "This should have been said by him.

When they have a common enemy, they can reunite as before. The prince thought very clearly.

But King Xuan was beyond his expectations.

King Xuan said coldly: "Including the seven princes and nine princesses born to Concubine Dong, a total of thirteen heirs were raised in the Western Palace. Since they were born, they have rarely met their mothers. They all have one thing in common... their mother's family is not prominent."

"...That's right. "The prince looked at King Xuan with a changed look.

"From the beginning, the crown prince should have been born from them." King Xuan said.

The prince changed his face: "How is it possible? "

Emperor Liang De was a qualified emperor, and he tried his best to run on this road.

The former Concubine Wan, now Concubine Wan, was not his love.

And the one he loved never left him any offspring.

He wanted to choose the future crown prince, all out of consideration for the court.

He eradicated the empress's mother's family, cut off the roots of the northern aristocratic families, and today overthrew the Xu family.

Emperor Liang De's thoughts have never wavered.

He wanted to eliminate the threat of foreign relatives to the imperial power.

Therefore, these royal heirs were raised alone in the Western Palace, with the regular The palace is far away from them, and they are also far away from their biological mother.

This way, they can avoid being bound by the mother-son relationship when they grow up.

A certain degree of neglect can also save them from the harm of palace fighting.

But Wanpin and others knew nothing about this.

Those imperial concubines with prominent families can raise their children by their side, and they think it is a symbol of their favor and power.

Whether it is the prince or the king of Wei. When they were still planning for themselves and competing for their father's favor, King Xuan had already seen it clearly.

"...Then why is it the seventh prince? Since you said that the crown prince was born from them, why is it the seventh prince? "The prince asked sternly.

He could accept that his father was a foolish man, who was cold and heartless because he loved only one person and disdained other people's children.

So his life today was caused by Emperor Liang De and the damned mother of King Xuan.

He couldn't accept... from the moment he was born, because his mother came from a big family in the north, he was destined to not be able to ascend to the throne!

He couldn't accept it!

If so... who should he blame?

blame himself for not being born well?

King Xuan took in the prince's expression and said, "Aren't you very clear? Concubine Dong was promoted, and the seventh prince and the ninth princess were taken out of the West Palace and moved into the main palace of Daliang. Others thought that Concubine Dong was favored, and the son was honored by the mother. In fact, the seventh prince was chosen. "

The prince showed a faint madness, and murmured, "Father also invited teachers for him... Shi Yuan, Qiu Zheng... are all great scholars. Father favors him, Father favors him... I can't ascend the throne. "

The prince lowered his head and laughed twice, then raised his head and stared at King Xuan: "What about you? Don't you envy the seventh prince? You have worked hard for several years, but you can only be driven to a place like Yizhou. The seventh prince, a child who hasn't even grown all his hair, how can he be the final winner? "

After saying so much, the prince finally said what he wanted to say.

King Xuan said to him indifferently: "Lower your voice."

The prince choked: "You..."

King Xuan covered Xue Qingyin's ears: "Don't wake her up."

The prince's chest was choked.

His pain and anger, his jealousy and collapse, and the imminent... To King Xuan, it was just "Don't wake up Xue Qingyin."
