The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 244

Chapter 244 The Meaning of Concubine Xiang
Imperial concubine Yan had just left the Chongde Palace when she saw Imperial concubine Xiang standing at the door wearing a moonlight white embroidered auspicious cloud palace uniform. Seeing her come out, Ying Ying blessed her, “Big sister.”

“Why is little sister still here?” Concubine Yan looked at Concubine Xiang and smiled indifferently.

“It’s been a long time since I went to pay my respects to sister. I hope sister doesn’t blame me.” Xiang Fei Fu said with a faint smile on her face.

Imperial Concubine Yan raised her eyes to look at Imperial Concubine Xiang. A moment later, she smiled and said, “It’s been hard for my sister to take care of His Majesty. Coincidentally, I also have something to ask my sister. If my sister is free, can you accompany me for a walk?”

“How dare you? Big sister, please.” Concubine Xiang took a step back and raised her hand to make a’please ‘gesture.

Imperial Concubine Yan smiled sweetly and helped Ruo Su down the stairs with her hand.

The two of them walked farther and farther away. When they entered the wide palace dao, there was no one around. Imperial concubine Yan finally said indifferently, “Is His Majesty in better health?”

Imperial Concubine Xiang didn’t want to, but when she heard Imperial Concubine Yan’s words, she smiled and said, “Is it really better to look outside?”

Imperial Concubine Yan looked at Imperial Concubine Xiang in surprise. “Sister, I don’t understand what you’re saying. What do you mean by watching from the outside?”

Imperial Concubine Xiang stopped and raised her eyes to meet Imperial Concubine Yan’s scrutinizing gaze. Her expression calmed down. “Sister, do you really not understand?”

Imperial Concubine Yan curled her lips and raised her eyebrows to look at Imperial Concubine Xiang, but she did not say anything.

Of course, she knew that Concubine Xiang had something to say to her when she was waiting at the door. However, whether she could believe these words or not, she really had to think about it carefully in her heart.

Imperial Concubine Xiang has been in the palace for so many years. Although she is tactful in terms of means and tactics, she still has the ability to observe her beauty. “Big sister, don’t talk in secret in front of people. I accidentally heard what you and His Majesty said just now.”

“Oh?” Imperial Concubine Yan’s phoenix eyes were slightly misty, and the smile at the corner of her lips deepened a bit.

Seeing that Imperial Concubine Yan was still suspicious of her, Imperial Concubine Xiang finally couldn’t hold back any longer, “I want revenge! In this palace, it’s not only Big Sister who doesn’t want the Crown Prince to be better off!”

Imperial Concubine Yan didn’t expect Imperial Concubine Xiang to reveal her thoughts so quickly. She couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, “Is it because of the Little Prince?”

Hearing Honored Concubine Yan mention that name, Concubine Xiang felt as if her chest had been ruthlessly scratched by the claws of a giant beast. The wound that had just healed was suddenly torn open and blood flowed out.

“I, I can’t let my child die in vain …”

All the women in the palace were trapped in this huge cage, and the only thing they could hope for was their own children …

Once upon a time, she also had hope.

However, it was deprived by Chu Yanzhi.

That child was so young, he had just been born, and he didn’t even have time to open his eyes to see this world …

Imperial Concubine Xiang felt this kind of pain, so did Imperial Concubine Yan. Back then, when the Emperor sacrificed Xizhi to help Chu Yanzhi, she was in the same mood as Concubine Xiang.

The people in the palace, be it the concubine or the prince, in the end, they were just chess pieces that that person casually played with …

Yan Guifei reached out to hold Concubine Xiang’s hand and patted her, sighing deeply, “Sister, condolences. The dead are over. In the end, life will continue …”

“Elder sister, are you willing to believe me?” Imperial Concubine Xiang raised her eyes to look at Imperial Concubine Yan. Su Ri’s silent eyes suddenly became serious.

Imperial Concubine Yan was stunned for a moment. Then, she pulled her hand out of Imperial Concubine Xiang’s hand. She smiled faintly and said, “What does little sister want this palace to do?”

“Big sister is overthinking things. Sister doesn’t need to do anything. On the contrary, it’s little sister. Is there something you can do for big sister?” Concubine Xiang smiled faintly.

“Oh? What does sister mean by that?”

“Although His Majesty suspects the Crown Prince, he will not easily cripple the Crown Prince unless …”

“Unless what?”

“Unless the Crown Prince did something that made His Majesty have to cripple him.” As Concubine Xiang spoke, a strange light suddenly surged in her eyes.

Looking at Concubine Xiang’s current expression, Concubine Yan faintly guessed something in her heart, but she was still a little uncertain. She pursed the corner of her mouth and looked at her tentatively as she softly said, “Does this palace still not understand what Sister means by this?”

Imperial Concubine Xiang raised her eyebrows. She was originally a palace maid serving the emperor. Later on, Jin Feng had naively thought that he was a dragon pet, and even thought that he could contend against Imperial Concubine Yan. But later on, it turned out that she was too naive and stupid. Now, although she had made her intentions clear, it was impossible to make Imperial Concubine Yan completely believe in her. However, this was not important to her, because, most importantly, she knew what she was doing …

“Although elder sister is not in the Song De Palace, I believe elder sister is still well aware of what happened in the Song De Palace.” Concubine Xiang looked at Concubine Yan and said.

Imperial Concubine Yan smiled and looked at Imperial Concubine Xiang without speaking.

However, Concubine Xiang did not care about this. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and continued calmly, “Since that’s the case, then sister should also know about the Crown Prince letting people do something to the pill.” “Although the medicine is not fatal, it can make one’s body collapse. After a long time, one will be confused … And in the past two days, His Majesty has been in a daze for a bit longer than before. I think those pills should have increased the medicinal properties.”

Hearing Concubine Xiang’s words, the smile on Concubine Yan’s face gradually condensed.

She did know about the Crown Prince’s actions in the pill. However, the pill was not fatal. Besides, after that day, the Emperor had avoided her like a snake and scorpion. Even if she said that there was something wrong with the pill, it only made the Emperor more suspicious of him. Moreover, her heart was really cold towards him.

Now that she heard from Concubine Xiang that the Crown Prince had increased the medicinal properties of the pills, she was suddenly unable to tell what it was like. He deserved to be scolded? But in his heart, why did he feel unspeakably uncomfortable?

Chu Lian, it’s all your fault that you ended up today. But I really want to know, don’t you have any regrets for what you’ve done to me and Xizhi? Could it be that Xizhi and I are insignificant passers-by to you?

In the end, she could not be heartless and heartless towards him. In the end, that person, no matter how heartless and cold-blooded he was, was still the person she had loved her entire life with all her heart …

“It’s useless for you to say this to me. He won’t believe me.” Imperial Concubine Yan lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes hanging down, hiding the indescribable loneliness and gloom in her eyes.

“I know. But if that pill can kill me, I think he will believe it.” Concubine Xiang looked at Concubine Yan with an unusually calm expression.

Imperial Concubine Yan was shocked when she heard her words, “What are you saying … Imperial Concubine Xiang, what do you want to do?”

Concubine Xiang lowered her head and smiled miserably. He then looked up at the sky and said, “I was sent to that palace at the age of twelve, Being punished by the upbringing of Nurse, Being humiliated by the steward’s father-in-law, With great difficulty, he was made imperial concubine, I thought that I could jump out of that desperate swamp with my eyebrows raised, but I didn’t expect that … I would enter an even more terrifying hell … Concubine Xiang, I’m actually just a palace maid that can be trampled on by others. My life is not worth anything at all. Even if I die in this palace, I won’t be able to afford any splashes of water, but I’m still unwilling! I once had a child, There was a deep expectation, But in the end … all of this was just a spectacle … “As she spoke, tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks. She raised her sorrowful eyes and looked at Consort Yan,” Consort Yan, I don’t want anything. I just want to wait for me to go underground and give that child an explanation … I want to tell him that Mother has avenged him. ”

Looking at Concubine Xiang’s grieving expression, Concubine Yan felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

They were all mothers, so how could she not understand the heartache of Concubine Xiang at this moment?

If it was her Xizhi, she would have done something even crazier than Concubine Xiang, but now …

“Actually, there’s no need to be like this. It seems that the Crown Prince has grasped the overall situation, but in fact, there is still a turning point …” Imperial Concubine Yan looked at Imperial Concubine Xiang with a frown and whispered.

At this moment, Concubine Xiang wanted to put all her eggs in one basket and risk her life. If she hadn’t heard Concubine Xiang’s words, perhaps she should have called out, but … they were all women who had been betrayed and hurt in the palace. Who was better off than who? Suddenly, she felt that she couldn’t bear it anymore.

Concubine Xiang did not expect Concubine Yan to say this to her. She knew what she was going to do, so she should be clapping her hands and cheering. Therefore, she cast her eyes at her in surprise. She did not want to, but she saw unbearable pity in her eyes …

Inexplicably, a sentence appeared in her mind-both of them were descended from the horizon.

“Imperial concubine, you don’t have to be like this. People like me are like ants, dying like grass … Besides, I really don’t want to be trapped inside this palace wall for the rest of my life.” Imperial Concubine Xiang said. She raised her eyes to look at Imperial Concubine Yan again. “Imperial Concubine, if you still have a trace of pity for this servant, please bury this servant next to my child. No matter what status you have, I want to accompany him properly and do my mother’s last bit of kindness …”

Imperial Concubine Yan looked at Imperial Concubine Xiang. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she was unable to say anything …

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Imperial Concubine Xiang looked at Imperial Concubine Yan and smiled faintly. Then, she took a step back and bowed solemnly to Imperial Concubine Yan. Finally, she lifted her feet and walked towards the direction of Zongde Palace step by step.

Light golden sunlight passed through her body, leaving behind a huge shadow on the spacious palace path. Imperial Concubine Yan looked at Imperial Concubine Xiang’s lonely back and her nose ached. In the end, her tears couldn’t help but fall.

“Sister.” Imperial Concubine Yan suddenly shouted.

Imperial Concubine Xiang, who was walking, paused for a moment, but very quickly, she walked again. A moment later, her figure disappeared into the corner.

Do not love the palace wall willow, only by the leading edge of the wrong.

When flowers blossom and fall, they always depend on the Eastern Monarch.

He who goes must go, and how he dwells.

If the mountains are full of flowers, don’t ask where Slave will go …
