Rebirth Against All Odds: The Cunning Heiress's Eldest Daughter

It was already evening when we returned to Xiu Nu's Courtyard, all the Xiu Nu had dinner in their own pavilions, so the courtyard seemed much deserted.

On the way back, Shangguan Hui was thinking whether he should show his favor to Concubine Wu Hui and win her over to become a member of his camp.With the help of Concubine Wu Hui, a holy family member, if she wants to pull Xiao Yunxi from the back seat, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!It's just that Concubine Wu Hui is a woman with deep scheming, would she be willing to be someone else's 'pawn'?

Just as she was deep in thought, someone suddenly walked past her in a gust of wind.Before she could see the man's appearance clearly, her hand was already pulled up, and she passively followed the man to the outside of Xiu Nu's courtyard.

The faint scent of plums made Shangguan Hui recognize his identity even though he couldn't see the faces of the people around him clearly in the dark night.

"My lord, please respect yourself."

Shangguanhui tried several times to shake off his hand but to no avail.Helpless, and gave up struggling.

Feng Yebei took her to a strange palace.Unlike other palaces, which are full of flowers and brocades, this place is as desolate as a cold palace.

The yard is full of withered grass, and the dry yellow color makes people feel depressed unconsciously.But in the yard full of withered grass, there was a red plum tree blooming quietly by itself.

"This is..." Shangguan Hui's voice was full of doubts.The days when Xiao Lingyue entered the palace in her previous life were not too short, but she had never discovered this place.

"This is the palace where my mother and concubine used to be. Later, my mother and concubine were framed for having an affair with the commander of the guards at that time. In a rage, my father ordered someone to goug out her eyes and imprison her here. My concubine likes plum blossoms very much. When I was young, I often shuttled under clusters of plum shadows, playing happily. At that time, the concubine mother would stand aside, look at me lovingly and smile..."

Feng Yebei seemed to be caught in a good memory, his expression was soft and gentle, his thin lips were slightly curved, but that smile could see a sour feeling in Shangguan Hui's eyes unconsciously.

"And what happened?" She wondered what happened to the poor woman.

"My concubine hanged herself on the biggest plum tree in the yard on my fourth birthday."

Shangguan Hui suddenly took a breath, her beautiful eyes flickered, showing a trace of pity for the man.Why does it have to be on his birthday?In this way, wouldn't it be true that every birthday of his after that would plunge him into the desperate pain of losing his dear one.How did he survive year after year?The intrigues in this palace are so cruel to a prince who lost his mother...

"If it weren't for the strong protection of the second emperor brother, maybe I would have gone down to Huangquan with my mother and concubine."

With an imperceptible wry smile on the corners of Feng Yebei's slightly hooked mouth, he walked to the only plum tree with his slender legs.

No wonder... No wonder he would wholeheartedly follow his assistant Feng Zheliang and help him ascend to the throne step by step.Xiao Lingyue in her previous life once heard Feng Zheliang mention that once they were hunting in the royal hunting ground and were suddenly ambushed.If it wasn't for Feng Yebei, who was only 14 years old at the time, desperately guarding him, he might have been killed by an arrow shot by the enemy.

The only thing Shangguanhui couldn't figure out was that since Feng Yebei's concubine was hanged on a plum tree, he should hate plum blossoms.Why, but only in love with it?

As if understanding the confusion and incomprehension in her eyes, Feng Yebei said indifferently: "My world has always been lonely and deserted. Those who flatter me and spurn me, those who want me to give birth, The people I died seemed to be unable to leave any color in my black and white life. Until that day, when the emperor's brother got married, the red silk covering the bride's head was accidentally blown by the wind during the worship hall. That glimpse , let my heart as silent as ashes regain its beating rhythm. Since then, a person has lived in my heart. She loves plum blossoms, and I am also crazy about plum blossoms. I always find everything All kinds of excuses appeared in front of her. But the love for her is not tolerated by the world after all. Gradually, she seemed to be aware of it, and began to keep a distance from me..."
