Chapter 237 Cai Lian's Thoughts
Seeing that it was Yongqi, Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief and complained shrilly, "Yongqi, what are you doing? Making such a big noise, are you trying to scare Mother?"
Xinrong looked at Yongqi's dark face and knew that he must have heard something. He sat down calmly and waited for him to speak.
Sure enough, Yongqi's face was gloomy. "Mother, what's the meaning of Xiangjun? What happened to Xiaoyanzi? Who is going to be exiled?"
Upon hearing that it was indeed about Xiaoyanzi, Concubine Yu's face darkened. "What Xiaoyanzi? You heard wrong. Xinrong and I are discussing your wedding."
Seeing that Concubine Yu was still hiding something from him, Yongqi roared, "You're still hiding it from me! I heard everything you just said! Don't I even have the right to know the truth now?"
Her dignity as a mother was challenged, and Concubine Yu slammed her hand on the table, "Who are you yelling at? What's the point of you knowing something that has nothing to do with you?"
"How is it not related to me? Xiaoyanzi's matter is related to me, Xinrong, tell me!"
Xinrong was rolling her eyes inwardly. Could he please not take his anger out on her whenever they had an argument?
Xinrong naturally didn't answer. She stood up and saluted: "Empress Yu, Xinrong will go back first."
Concubine Yu forced a smile at Xinrong, and after Xinrong left, she looked at Yongqi angrily and cursed him.
"Could you please stop yelling at Xinrong for every little thing? She's going to be your wife in the future, the one you'll spend your life with. Could you please be a little more polite to her?"
Hearing Concubine Yu start chanting again, Yongqi interrupted coldly: "What on earth happened to Xiaoyanzi?"
Concubine Yu was helpless: "What's going on? What's going on? What could it be? Her life story is clear, and the emperor has even made her a Xiangjun. Isn't this a good thing? Why are you so angry?"
Yongqi didn't believe it. How could such a good thing happen? He insisted on forcing Concubine Yu to explain clearly.
Concubine Yu was the mother, so how could she just follow Yongqi's words? The more he wanted to know, the less she would say. "You are disrespectful to me, so I won't punish you. Go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes."
"Mother! I apologize to you. I was impulsive just now, but you can't hide everything from me. Do you think I'm a lifeless piece of wood that you can manipulate at will?"
Yongqi is now worried to death. He always feels that Xiaoyanzi is not doing well at the moment.
Seeing him like this, Concubine Yu became even angrier. "Why? I gave birth to you and raised you for twenty years. Now that you've grown up and become independent, you feel like you don't need your mother anymore, so you want to piss me off to death?"
Outside the door, I heard the quarrel between the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu.
Cai Lian did not step forward to mediate as usual. She stared at the floor in a daze, and the words of the young eunuch kept echoing in her mind.
The benefactor was arrested? Exiled?
For a moment, Cai Lian didn't know whether she should be sad or happy.
The mission assigned by Duke En made no progress, but he had already failed in the assassination, and even failed because he assassinated two unrelated outsiders.
It's simply unbelievable.
Cai Lian even began to doubt Xiao Jian's ability.
She was thinking randomly, thinking about what Xiao Jian said after he rescued her. He said that he was carrying a blood feud and needed help from a beautiful woman like Cai Lian. After being rescued, Cai Lian was so excited that she agreed without asking.
Later, Cai Lian followed Xiao Jian to learn kung fu, learned a lot of things, and followed him to many places.
He ran from the south to the capital, and then traveled all the way back to the south.
Until she was really needed to take action, Xiao Jian actually wanted her to get close to the emperor or the prince and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor.
Even her benefactor had never told her before that the leader of this group of wealthy businessmen was the current emperor.
Cai Lian thought they were ordinary wealthy businessmen, so she shamelessly pestered the nobleman.
It was not until Cai Lian realized their true identities that she broke out in a cold sweat. That night, Cai Lian tossed and turned all night and could not sleep.
Cai Lian had thought about sacrificing herself for her benefactor, but she knew that with her level of skill and mediocre kung fu, she was simply not capable of assassinating the emperor.
Later, when she was assassinated in Qijiang Town, Cai Lian had the opportunity to take action in the chaos, but for some reason, Cai Lian hesitated, and because of this hesitation, she was swept away by the crowd.
No one noticed she was missing, and it was the Fifth Prince who came to rescue her.
It is undeniable that the Fifth Prince is a kind person.
So Cai Lian didn't want to do it anymore. She comforted herself that there was no good opportunity, and just like that, she entered the palace in a daze.
She was taken into Yonghe Palace by the Fifth Prince.
Cai Lian kept comforting herself that she could find an opportunity to complete her benefactor's mission and there was no rush. So she stayed in Yonghe Palace every day, dealing with Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince every day.
Although the Fifth Prince was too useless, not only could he not marry his beloved, he also refused to take a concubine, causing her to waste too much time in Yonghe Palace, and the mission made no progress at all.
But Cai Lian was happy from the bottom of her heart. She was not a fool. On the contrary, she was very selfish. Once exposed, no matter what the outcome, her death would not be very pretty. In the end, whether to choose to be a concubine of a stupid prince or to choose to die, Cai Lian did not hesitate at all.
She admitted that she did not want to use those means on the Fifth Prince. If she was willing, she had ten thousand ways to get the Fifth Prince to accept her, but she wanted the Fifth Prince to fall in love with her willingly.
Although benefactors are important, your own life is the most important.
But she was still uneasy in her heart. She was afraid to meet her benefactor. After all, her benefactor had saved her, and she should repay him.
But I didn't expect that the truth behind the blood feud that my benefactor mentioned would be like this.
Cai Lian really didn't expect that her benefactor was so impatient. After years of operation, he actually used the manpower he had accumulated to assassinate others, and was caught so easily.
Obviously, he was not a very capable person. Cai Lian felt a little relieved. If she followed him, she would not be able to accomplish anything and might even lose her life.
The truth was out, her injustice was redressed, and now she really didn't have to do anything.
Cai Lian kept comforting herself in her heart, thinking that at least her benefactor didn't need her to repay him.
Thinking of this, Cai Lian felt relieved for no reason.
But I didn’t expect that my benefactor actually has a younger sister, and this sister is Xiaoyanzi. The two siblings really don’t look alike at all. I don’t know if my benefactor knows about the relationship between Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince.
He probably doesn't know. If he knew, he would never tolerate it.
The quarrel between Concubine Yu and Yongqi inside the palace is still intensifying.
Both of them forgot their original purpose. Concubine Yu was only concerned with recounting the sacrifices she had made for Yongqi, how devotedly she had taken care of her, and how well-behaved and obedient Yongqi had been in the past.
"The thing my mother regrets most now is going to Mount Wutai to pray for you! My well-behaved and sensible son was led astray by Xiaoyanzi!"
Yongqi heard Concubine Yu say this almost every day, and he was fed up with it.
"You were never so tyrannical before! You never cared about me before, and now I can't even leave Yonghe Palace!"
"It's all for you that Mother didn't return it. Once you get married and have a family, you can go wherever you want!"
The two parted ways unhappily again, and Concubine Yu threatened that if Yongqi dared to step out of Yonghe Palace, she would hang herself. No matter how angry Yongqi was, he still had to think twice.
