Chapter 221 Dare not kill
Chapter 221 Dare not kill
Although the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu seem to be at loggerheads with each other these days, compared to the drama, the Fifth Prince has become much softer.
Perhaps it was because no one instigated him, and now the Fifth Prince could not even leave the palace, let alone the gate of Yonghe Palace. He was in a desperate situation and no one could help him.
A few days ago, Jingyan accompanied Xinrong to Yonghe Palace for a visit. Before leaving, he saw the Fifth Prince, who had lost a lot of weight due to all the hard work.
However, what shocked Jingyan even more was the attitude of Concubine Yu and Xinrong. The Fifth Prince was so miserable, but they didn't care at all, as if they didn't see it.
Jingyan felt a little sad for a moment, and he didn't know why Concubine Yu could be so cruel this time. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Fifth Prince gave in.
However, driving Xiaoyanzi out of the palace actually helped Concubine Yu and Xinrong in disguise. Compared to when they were only far away and could see each other with a little effort, now the high palace walls separated not only people, but also feelings.
However, Yongqi was trapped, and Ziwei was also implicated.
Ever since her last unpleasant parting with Erkang, Ziwei came back and locked herself in her room, thinking a lot.
It is undeniable that Erkang has changed. The moment he threatened her with his innocence, both parties should have clearly realized that the so-called love between them had long since dissipated.
Originally, Ziwei thought that after all, love should end in peace, but Erkang did not know how to cut losses in time and even tried to drag her into the abyss.
Xia Ziwei has come this far not to be like the love-brained Fifth Prince who is willing to go against his father in pursuit of so-called love.
Erkang is such a lowly person that he is definitely not worthy of her.
She is a noble royal princess who will become a princess in the future. How can she let a villain tarnish her reputation?
After thinking for a long time, Ziwei finally made up her mind.
She called Jinsuo and told her the current situation in an exaggerated way.
Sure enough, Jinsuo was very angry: "Gege, why didn't you tell me earlier? How could Master Erkang be so vicious? He wants to destroy you."
Ziwei smiled sadly: "Yes, Erkang hates me so much now, he wants to force me to death."
As she spoke, Ziwei gathered her clothes and cried miserably.
Jinsuo hugged Ziwei distressedly: "Gege, let's tell the emperor, he will definitely vent his anger for you."
"No," Ziwei refused without a second thought, "I'm still unmarried, and this matter cannot be known to others. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined and I won't be able to live anymore."
Seeing Ziwei crying so sadly, Jinsuo was so anxious that she wanted to slap herself. She was really bringing up something that was irrelevant.
But Jinsuo was still a little hesitant. Her young lady had never concealed the fact that she was in love with Erkang. From this point of view, her reputation had been ruined long ago, and it seemed that she could not marry anyone else if she did not marry Erkang.
But seeing Ziwei crying so sadly, Jinsuo felt for a moment that Erkang was really cowardly. He had brought this upon himself. Otherwise, if he was still the glorious Young Master Fu, her young lady might have been married by now.
"Miss, you better think of a solution quickly. You can't let him bully you like this."
Ziwei cried for a long time before she said, "Maybe I need your help."
When Jinsuo heard this, she nodded repeatedly: "Miss, it's my duty to do things for you."
Ziwei looked conflicted and whispered her plan into Jinsuo's ear.
"Miss, this won't do!" Jinsuo was almost scared to death. How could she dare to kill someone? Besides, they were trapped in the palace and couldn't get out.
Seeing Jinsuo's refusal, Ziwei sighed and said, "Forget it, let him drive me to death, so I can go down and accompany my mother."
When Xia Yuhe was mentioned, Jinsuo bit her lip. The Xia family had done her a favor. If it weren't for the lady, she would have died long ago.
Thinking of this, Jinsuo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Miss, if it weren't for Madam, I would have frozen to death on the street. Please let me go down and serve Madam in your place."
Ziwei touched Jinsuo's cheek lovingly: "Silly girl, how could I bear to let you die? Don't worry, as long as we plan well, no one will know."
But before that, she had to ask the Fifth Prince how to leave the palace.
Upon learning that Ziwei was coming to visit, Concubine Yu refused without a second thought. The matter of the real and fake princess had caused a lot of uproar at the time, and both Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi left a very bad impression on Concubine Yu.
Hearing that Concubine Yu was taking a nap, Ziwei said sympathetically, "Thank you very much, eunuch. I'll wait here."
After hearing the eunuch's message, Concubine Yu scoffed coldly, "Sure enough, my son learned these coercive tactics from this group of people. Will he faint in front of my door later?"
Ziwei really thought so, but she waited for only quarter of an hour. Instead of fainting, she waited for Xinrong.
Xinrong came to deliver the potted plants that Concubine Yu had mentioned a few days ago, but unexpectedly she happened to meet Princess Huanzhu.
"Princess Huanzhu." Xinrong stepped forward and saluted.
When Ziwei saw Xinrong, her eyes turned and she had an idea.
Now everyone in the palace looked down on her to some extent, but it was simply because she never went out of Shufangzhai and had no friends from noble families. Jingyan had never liked her, and Xinrong was a good stepping stone.
Moreover, Xinrong has always been loved by the Empress Dowager, and being on good terms with her will only benefit her.
"Princess Xinrong, I'm here to pay my respects to Concubine Yu. It's just that I came at an unfortunate time, as she's still taking a nap."
Xinrong nodded, but Concubine Yu usually doesn’t take a nap at this time.
Xinrong understood Concubine Yu's attitude in one sentence. She also knew that if she went in at this time, she would slap Concubine Yu in the face. She chuckled and said, "Really? Then I won't bother you."
After saying this, he handed the potted plant to the palace maid and was about to leave.
Seeing that Xinrong didn't take the bait, Ziwei laughed dryly and stamped her sore feet. "Then I'll come back later. I wonder where my sister is going?"
Unexpectedly, Ziwei would suddenly ask him this. Xinrong was a little surprised, but still said politely: "I will go back to Cining Palace."
Unexpectedly, Ziwei immediately followed Xinrong, "Sis has been in the palace for so long and we haven't had a good chat yet. Do you mind if I come with you?"
Don't hit a smiling person, especially when this person is the emperor's daughter. Xinrong could only smile and take her back to Cining Palace.
The two of them first paid their respects to the old lady, and then Xinrong took her back to her room.
Ziwei had been racking her brains to find topics to talk about all the way, but she didn't know whether Princess Xinrong in front of her didn't want to pay attention to her or was just a talkative person, and only spoke two words at a time.
Ziwei was a little discouraged and could only use her ultimate move: "I haven't congratulated my sister yet, but she will be getting married to my fifth brother soon."
"Thank you."
Xinrong keenly heard Ziwei calling the Fifth Prince "Fifth Brother", and instantly thought that Ziwei seemed to have a good relationship with Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince.
"I don't know if Fifth Brother will take that little swallow back. If there are more little swallows in my sister's backyard, it will be a headache."
Aren't they good sisters? Hearing Ziwei's words, she couldn't help but become curious.
"How to say?"
