After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Yongning Palace.

Concubine Shu had already dismissed all the people in the hall and sat at the top, her phoenix eyes looking at the child she once held in her arms.

"Xing'er has finally grown up."

A soft sigh contained her sadness and disappointment.

Xu Xing didn't want to go to this point with his aunt, but for the sake of that position, his aunt wanted to kill Jiang Hao based on mere suspicion, and he really couldn't just sit back and watch.

More importantly, based on his understanding of Jiang Hao, if he hadn't intervened, his aunt might not be sitting here in good health now.

"Aunt, why bother?"

"Why bother?"

Concubine Shu seemed to have heard the best joke in the world: "My Lord, how can you ask such a question?"

Xu Xing remained silent.

Concubine Shu's eyes turned red, she sneered a few times, and pointed at everything in the hall: "These are not what I want!"

That year, Emperor Suwen fell in love with her at a banquet, and secretly expressed to the deceased old Duke that he wanted to take her into the palace. However, with the merits of the Duke's Mansion, as long as his father refused firmly, Emperor Suwen would not force it.

She didn't want to marry Emperor Suwen, who was old enough to be her father. She had someone she loved, and she cried and begged not to enter the palace.

But what did her father say?

He said, "My daughter, I am sorry for you. The Duke's Mansion is at the center of the storm, and I don't know how long I can last with this illness. If you enter the palace, you can protect your brother and nephew for a while. It is a blessing to be favored by the emperor."

She doesn't want this kind of blessing!

But, as the daughter of a Duke, she had no choice.

What's wrong with which position she wants Jin'er to take now? Her mother went to the palace to persuade her again and again, but her elder brother kept his head down and didn't say anything. Now her nephew turned against her for a woman...

This is the Duke’s Mansion where she sheltered!

Xu Xing naturally knew about the past. He also cried and didn't want his aunt to enter the palace, but his aunt still left.

During that half month, he woke up every night, and his aunt's shadow was seen in his dreams.

"It is the Duke's Mansion that is sorry for you."

If possible, he would protect her.

"What's the use of being sorry?"

Concubine Shu refused to give in, because after she entered the palace, the man she loved became disheartened and finally jumped into the moat.

From then on, she wore a mask and lived in the palace, which made Emperor Suwen very happy. Over the years, she has experienced both honor and disgrace.

But the person she loved would never come back.

"but--"

Xu Xing still raised his eyes to meet his aunt's eyes that seemed to want to eat people: "All this has nothing to do with her, aunt shouldn't have involved her. It is us who are sorry to aunt and let her sacrifice for the Duke's Mansion..."

"I don't want to hear this!"

Concubine Shu interrupted Xu Xing in a harsh voice, the hairpins on her head rustled, her face was ferocious and distorted: "Since she is from the Ji family and is in cahoots with Prince Ning, I will never let her go."

"aunt--"

Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with hatred: "As long as they are stumbling blocks that stand in my way, I will not let them go."

The implication is, don't push me!

Seeing that he couldn't communicate with her, Xu Xing sighed heavily in his heart.

Concubine Shu then said, "Are you heartbroken now? Okay, you have to know that not all lovers in the world can be together."

Xu Xing looked at Concubine Shu, full of strangeness: "Aunt, nephew... is just worried about you."
