Chapter 265 Actually, I Laid a Backup Plan Back Then

ngrily, "I am innocent and have never had anything to do with your younger sister. I haven't done anything improper at all. Please don't slander me and don't force strange people on me!"He stared at L...He had a bitter expression. “I once prepared for the throne in many ways, even when my father was disappointed with me, I never thought of giving up.” 。Until the Return to Moon Nation proposed a prisoner exchange, when I learned that my father had chosen me as the hostage, my first thought was that I absolutely could not go because once I did, everything would be over. 。So I accused Lady Li of adultery with a guard, causing my father to fly into a rage. 。Lady Li was the biological mother of the fourth prince. She was exceptionally beautiful, and everyone who saw her called her a fairy-like beauty. Her beauty was unforgettable and gave people a feeling of detachment from the world. 。The emperor had doted on Consort Li almost exclusively back then. So when he heard that she was having an affair with a guard, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered her to be sent to the Cold Palace. In his fury, he also directly banished the fourth prince. 。He recalled those things from years ago, though so much time had passed, the memories were still vivid. 。That's how I escaped, that's how the fourth brother came to resent me. 。But I didn't lie, and I didn't set any traps like others said. 。If there were no real evidence, if it weren't for Lady Li that she actually committed adultery, who else could have slandered a favored concubine But the fourth brother doesn't believe it, he always thinks everything is my plan, yet unaware that I knew about Lady Li's disloyalty to the emperor many years ago, but I kept it under wraps. 。"If it weren't for the matter of Gu Yue Country…"

He looked at Ye Wenyan, his attitude sincere, "I haven't lied. Everything I've said is true." 。But do not doubt Lao Si's origins, he is the Emperor's son, there is no mistake. Li Fei and the guard should have met during a winter encampment. 。During that winter siege, several concubines were attacked by a beast. It was one of the guards who saved her life. 。I'm just expanding on the topic and haven't added any embellishments; I've simply stated the facts. 。But I didn't expect that later, the Cold Palace caught fire and everyone was burned to death inside, not a single one escaped. 。At that moment, I knew that this feud with the fourth brother was a deadly one, and there was no way to resolve it. 。Night Wind listened to this story, and before her eyes appeared the scene of that year. She seemed to see a young woman riding horses around the field, drawing her bow and shooting arrows, full of vigor and joy. 。But unexpectedly, a ferocious beast suddenly burst out and charged straight towards her. 。At the brink of death, a guard rushed out to fight the beast, ultimately saving the person. 。 。Although Lao Si has been in Guiyue these years, he has never given up on his revenge against me. 。"Prince Qingyun, the royal children are all troublemakers. He might seem far away, but his hand can still reach into Lin'an Inner City. Every time he trips me up and sets traps for me, I don't find it too troublesome." 。“ The fire in the Cold Palace wasn't started for no reason, was it”Quan Qingyun nodded. “Of course not, there had to be a reason. I’ve long suspected something, but unfortunately, I haven’t found any evidence all these years.” 。I guess so, she must be confident enough to pull it off silently. 。"Sister Four, do you know who my man is" "The former Empress Li, now the Dowager Empress." 。"Ye Wenyan didn't even think about it before giving this person up. 'The Cold Palace is the inner court, who in the inner court could have such great power Who could do such a thing so flawlessly without leaving a trace, except for the Empress.'" 。Sister Four is intelligent. 。"Quan Qingyun rushed towards her, cupping his hands in a gesture of greeting." 。Ye Wen didn't bother with these polite words. She was only thinking about how to resolve this situation. 。"What did my second brother steal"Quan Qingyun honestly replied, "It was the three letters General Gui Yue wrote to me. I didn't receive them. The fourth brother intercepted them." 。He handed the three letters to Ye Wenyan one by one, "Before I didn't know what Fourth Sister's identity was, now that I understand, then naturally I will not have any more concealment, nor dare to conceal" 。Ye Wen took the letter in his hand and read it carefully, but the more he read, the more he felt something was wrong with the letter. 。She asked Quan Qingyun, "Do you have a relationship with General Guiyue Are you close" Quan Qingyun shook his head, "No..." 。I have actually only met him once. He came to Lin'an with the envoys of Gui Yue. 。He invited me to drink with him, so we could be considered good friends! But it was just a drinking session, the whole thing lasted no more than two hours. Could that really be a deep friendship "Did you promise him anything For example, if you ascend the throne, what benefits would Yue receive" "No..." 。Then we have to discuss the authenticity of this letter. 。"Ye Wenyan returned the letter, "Keep it safe and don't lose it." 。" Quan Qingyun was a little less confident. "Fourth Brother sent so many experts to protect these three letters, but in the end, Fei Zhou still got his hands on them. So I don't think I can keep them safe forever. " 。"I was originally going to burn everything down. Why did Fourth Sister have to stay"

"If you can't handle it, then I'll help you." 。She slipped the letter into her sleeve and then into her storage bangle. 。"As for why I should stay, or as I just said, we need to discuss the authenticity of this letter." 。" The letter is true. 。He told Ye Wen, "I have seen General Fengyue's handwriting. It is indeed his own." 。But logically, it doesn't make sense. 。She crossed her legs, finding it more comfortable this way. 。"Things that don't make sense logically must have a reason, perhaps this could be a breakthrough." 。She sighed again as she arrived, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm a well-to-do lady from a good family, why should I bother with your affairs But my second brother went against you, and I had to step in to save him. Now, the Fourth Prince made me his enemy, so I can't just ignore this." 。"

If these three letters really have ulterior motives, then how will she choose when the time comes Should she just watch as the Fourth Prince is sent away That doesn't seem right either >>> 。After all, when the incident with Lady Li occurred, His Highness the Fourth Prince was still a child. He couldn't see through the truth, only knowing that his third brother had harmed their mother concubine, making him his lifelong enemy. 。No wonder that person had an icy gaze, it was because they harbored deep resentment in their heart. They couldn't even return for their mother's funeral after she was burned alive. 。What she did today, isn't it too heartbreaking "Actually…" Quan Qingyun saw her silence, so he spoke again, bringing up a matter— "Actually, the breakthrough doesn't have to be solely focused on those three letters. I... I made a backup plan for myself back then..." 。"Eh" she was taken aback, "What back way"權青允 replied, “That night when the Cold Palace caught fire, my guards saved Lady Li from the flames…” 。"

Ye Wenyan was stunned for a long time before finally reacting. It turned out that all these princes had planted their eyes in the palace. " 。He was watching the court situation, and he was also watching their father. 。It's a pity the emperor had so many children, but in the end none of them were on the same page as him. 。Of course, the old emperor was also not to be pitied, because he had once done the same thing. 。From generation to generation, they learned by imitation. They learned the cold indifference of royalty, and the notion that only ruler and subject mattered, not father and son. 。"Where is that person now" She breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to discussing the authenticity of those three letters, the news that Empress Li was still alive was indeed a better breakthrough. 。Quan Qingyun told her: "People are arranged in a manor on the outskirts of Beijing, and Laosi's wet nurse's daughter is taking care of them. " 。But I can't tell him about this, because although Concubine Li is still alive, she was burned beyond recognition. Over the years, her mental state hasn't been good either. 。He hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "Fourth Sister, can you... cure her" Night Wenyan didn't speak. She was just pondering something. 。According to Quan Qingyun's law, the Fourth Prince's reach is very long. Although he is in Guiyue, he can still control things here in Lin'an. 。Such a capable person, Quan Qingyun had hidden Li Fei for so many years. He couldn't possibly not know If he truly didn't know, that would be fine, but if he did, what was his purpose "We can talk about treating it later!" She stood up and looked at Quan Qingyun for a while before asking him a personal question, "Did the Third Prince send those concubines away because of my second brother" Quan Qingyun nodded. "The night he came to get the deed for you, he saw me in the concubine's quarters and was very unhappy..." 。These years I have never been at peace with that throne, always wondering why my father was disappointed in me. 。So I want to show him, let him know that I'm no different from others. 。I will also keep many women in my palace, and I can have three wives and four concubines. 。It's all in vain, really. Fate plays tricks on people, even Empress Dowager Li who had meticulously planned for years ended up getting nothing in the end. 。He chuckled at this, wondering why Empress Li hadn't gotten what she wanted. Wasn't it because her son had angered Ye Wenyan 。He didn't understand until now, how things had gotten so out of hand, it was all because of Ye Wenyan. 。He was truly terrified, and also grateful that Ye Fei Zhou had some history with this fourth sister. Otherwise, he would have been targeted by Ye Wen Yan's connections, and they wouldn't know how many times they would have died by now. 。Given that person's temper, even if they were dead, they would be dragged out of their coffin and beaten to death. 。He instinctively wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was so close, just a little bit more and he would have been doomed forever. 。 Ye Wen glanced at him and sighed helplessly, “Before at the General’s Mansion, Your Highness called me ‘Fourth Sister.’ I found it quite flattering. Why don't you just call me that I really can't get used to this look of yours, besides, I'm not Shi Li Yuan...” 。“No, no, no. You're the same as the Emperor,” 權青允 immediately waved his hand, “ 。"So, does that mean you're not calling her Little Fourth Sister anymore" "This… call her, call her! Yeah, let’s just call her that!" He felt it was better to keep calling her that. It made things seem closer and allowed him to get closer too. 。Although he lost his throne, he could befriend the emperor. This is considered a turn for the better, like finding a glimmer of hope in the darkness. 。So he bowed again, earnestly saying, "Fourth Sister" 。"

Yè Wēn Yán nodded, "I'll keep the three letters for you, safe and sound."

As for Lady Li, who was rescued, there's no rush to find the Fourth Prince. 。"My five little sisters are still in his hands. I'll go take a look right away. We can discuss anything else later!"

Quan Qingyun respectfully sent the person out of the Prince Ren's Mansion, and he also took those six land deeds with him. Although everyone in the mansion thought he was strange this way, he felt very happy inside.r mother's daughter, and still a daughter. There's no need to yield to her as a younger sister." 。"Second brother, that's different. " 。She felt helpless and her mood remained low. 。"What's differen...
