Chapter 656 This Is Disloyalty to Brother Leng

the other side.

In the small corridor outside Zhaoning Palace, Princess Yuehai was walking in a hurry.

Today's palace banquet, Yuehai originally went very early, but on the way he was called by the imperial concubine.

Concubine Bein was Princess Yuping's biological aunt. After Concubine Lan died young, Princess Yuping relied on Concubine Bein to survive in the palace.

The two are so in love that it would not be an exaggeration to say they are mother and daughter.

The reason why Yue Hai was asked to go by the imperial concubine was naturally because Yue Hai had already heard about Yue Hai's retrieval of Princess Yuping's body and suspicion of murder.

It's not surprising that this empress, one of the four noble concubines, is well-informed. Although Princess Yuehai is delicate and unruly in front of these concubines, she never goes overboard and upholds the proper etiquette.

The imperial concubine asked sadly about Princess Yuping, and Princess Yuehai talked for a long time. By the time the inquiry was completed, it was said that the palace banquet in Zhaoning Palace was already halfway through.

Since it was already too late, Princess Yuehai did not rush there and left slowly from Concubine Bei, taking her leisure time all the way.

But before Yue Hai arrived at Zhaoning Palace, she heard a piece of news.

The fifth prince was assassinated.

This is as big a deal as a knife from the sky.

You know, the fifth prince is the Queen's treasure. Even the prince does not have the same weight in the queen's heart as the fifth prince.

Princess Yuehai walked very fast.

In the palace, what she most relied on was the pampering of the emperor and the queen. After her parents passed away and she had been in the palace for many years, these two treated her like jewels, and she would not treat any prince or princess lightly. Dare to treat the prince and the fifth prince lightly.

"Princess, this way." When the maid from Zhaoning Palace saw Yue Hai approaching at a tight pace, she hurriedly opened the curtain and showed Yue Hai a room.

Princess Yuehai entered and saw that the house was peaceful and quiet.

It seemed unusually quiet.

I thought that after the fifth prince was killed, the female relatives who were having a banquet in Zhaoning Palace would flock to the palace, but I never thought that there would be no one else here.

The Queen was sitting in front of the bed, with her back to the door, and Shu Zhen was waiting beside the Queen.

A figure could be vaguely seen on the bed, and Princess Yuehai guessed that it was the fifth prince.

"Empress..." She lowered her voice and Princess Yuehai approached cautiously.

Shuzhen turned around at this time, made a silent gesture to Princess Yuehai, and then looked at the Queen cautiously.

Princess Yuehai stopped talking. When she got closer, she realized that the Queen's face was extremely ugly.

It is human nature for a mother to look ugly when a parent or child is killed.

Princess Yuehai felt a little distressed. Just when she was about to speak, she heard a faint sound coming from the bed.

"Well……"

Princess Yuehai looked over, and so did the Queen and Shu Zhen.

Rong Fei didn't wake up. He had been sleeping since the imperial doctor left. Until now, he could only moan a few times, but he soon lost consciousness.

Princess Yuehai didn't know how the fifth prince was injured, but she didn't dare to ask rashly, so she had to stand obediently behind the queen, keeping her eyes on Shu Zhen.

Shu Zhen didn't speak, but her expression was very subtle.

After a while, the fifth prince fell asleep again. While Princess Yuehai was still making random guesses, the queen suddenly said: "Yuehai."

Princess Yuehai immediately responded: "Empress..."

The queen turned back, her dark eyes looked at Yuehai, and after a while, she stretched out her hand.

Princess Yuehai hurriedly handed over her hand to the queen's palm.

The queen caressed Yue Hai's little hand, and her voice was a little scornful: "I have something to entrust you with."

"Whatever your Majesty's orders are, Yue Hai will definitely live up to her orders."

The queen seemed very satisfied with this answer. She looked at Princess Yuehai for a while, then slowly said: "I want to withdraw from the Lin family's marriage."

Princess Yuehai was stunned: "Is the queen talking about the Lin family, Miss Lian and brother Fei? Why? Didn't the queen say that Miss Lian is the most suitable candidate for brother Fei? She also said that although brother Fei is somewhat resistant to this matter now, But as time goes by, I naturally understand your painstaking efforts and how good Miss Lian is?"

Princess Yuehai knew about Rong Fei's marriage.

Not only did he know about it, but he also participated in a lot of it, including how to get the emperor to take back his life, cancel the engagement between Lin Qilian and the Seventh Prince, how to hire a son on his behalf, let the Lin family accept the betrothal gift from the Fifth Prince's Palace, and how to make it difficult for Rong Fei to ride a tiger. Yue Hai knew this idea.

The Lin family is the queen's mother's family. Now the Lin family is in full swing. In the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and the fifth prince will have the help of the Lin family. These brothers will only grow bigger and bigger in the future, and they will be in harmony with each other.

Princess Yuehai knew the stakes here, so the Queen's sudden decision to break off the engagement was confusing.

The queen didn't explain much, she just patted Princess Yuehai's hand and said, "Would you like to help me?"

Princess Yuehai said hurriedly: "Although I don't know what your Majesty wants, what I want to do will naturally have your own reasons. If anything happens, just give me your order, and Yuehai will definitely comply."

The queen smiled happily and said: "Then tomorrow, you can send the divorce letter to the Lin family. However, if you send it, you will need a name."

Princess Yuehai was about to say that it might not be good for an outsider to deliver the annulment letter, but after hearing what the Queen said again, she just waited for the Queen's words.

"Since you have decided to help me, if not, then as Fei'er's fiancée, go and see her off."

"Empress?" Princess Yuehai was startled, so frightened that she instinctively wanted to take a step back.

But the queen tightened Yue Hai's hand and did not let Yue Hai retreat. Her tone became more solemn, but her words were explaining: "Fei'er is currently inconvenient, and I have no time to spare. Although in such a name, I will feel wronged." I have killed you and ruined your reputation, but if I don’t entrust you, who can I count on? This palace is so weird, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Zhaoning Palace, how many people are looking forward to my death, Yue Hai, you are a good boy. Since you came to my knees, I have never wronged you in the slightest. This time, I am really at the end of my rope, so I am counting on you."

Princess Yuehai was really frightened this time. Who is the Queen? She is the lord of the harem and the mother of all people. She is beneath one person and above ten thousand people. They have been together for many years. This is the first time Princess Yuehai has seen her. The queen lowered her posture so low that she seemed to be pleading.

Princess Yuehai was in disbelief, but at the same time, she truly believed that the queen's current state was not good, very bad.

Perhaps the fifth prince's injury was so serious that the queen could no longer bear it.

Thinking of this, Princess Yuehai felt distressed. She held the queen's hand back, pursed her lips and said, "Mother, Yuehai is not afraid of damaging her reputation. No one inside or outside Kyoto knows that Yuehai is unruly and willful, so where can I be?" There is no reputation left at all, but if I go to the Lin family in this capacity, I am afraid that the Lin family will be angry. Your Majesty is from the Lin family, so even if you have something to say, you can say it directly, in such a roundabout way. Son, Yuehai doesn’t understand.”

A wry smile appeared on the Queen's face, and she lowered her eyes and said, "It is because I belong to the Lin family that I cannot come forward in this matter."

"Why?"

The queen didn't say anything, but looked into Princess Yuehai's eyes and asked, "Tell me, are you willing to do me this favor?"

Since it's about helping, I'm naturally willing to help, but I have to agree, but I'm always a little bit unable to say anything.

Thinking of Rong Leng, thinking that she had to go out as another man's fiancée, even though it was just once, just a day, or just an hour, Yuehai still felt uncomfortable, as if this was disloyalty to brother Leng. .
