After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

After Xuan Yelan left completely, Mei Xue knelt down beside Qi Wuyou, tears welling in her eyes, "Don't be afraid, Princess. I will always be with you."

"Mei Xue, please don't be like them. I'm really afraid that you will leave me like them. I hate it so much." Qi Wuyou grabbed his clothes.

Mei Xue hugged Qi Wuyou into her arms and coaxed her, "I am here. I will always be with you. That person will not live long. We will definitely avenge them."

Qi Wuyou curled up in Mei Xue's arms, unable to stop crying.

In the imperial study room.

Xuan Yelan, Lu Yu, He Yun and Ye Jiu are all here.

"Are you sure Mei Xue will come?" Lu Yu complained.

It turns out that these people have gathered in the imperial study since they left Fengyi Palace, because Xuan Yelan said that Mei Xue would come to tell them what Qi Wuyou was afraid of.

"Wait a little longer, she will come." Xuan Yelan said.

Sure enough, after about a cup of tea, Liu He came outside to report that Mei Xue had arrived.

"Ask her in," Xuan Yelan ordered.

When the door opened, Mei Xue appeared at the door. After she came in, Xuan Yelan signaled Liu He outside the door to close the door.

"No need to be polite," Xuan Yelan spoke first when he saw Mei Xue was about to bow, then he spoke worriedly, "How is she?"

Mei Xue knew that this was another question about Qi Wuyou, so she replied, "Yuqin has already coaxed the princess to sleep."

Xuan Yelan nodded, frowned, and asked, "What exactly did Qi Zi have against her?"

Mei Xue was silent for a while, and finally said, "There is no grudge between the princess and him."

"I have been serving Madam before the princess was born. After the princess was born, Madam gave me, and..."

Mei Xue paused here, her eyes reddened, trying hard to hold back tears, and continued, "Han Xiang and Man Xiang were also transferred to the princess."

Xuan Yelan frowned. He had never seen these two maids by her side.

"The princess was quiet and cute when she was little. She loved playing hide-and-seek with us in the imperial garden. We also raised a very cute white raccoon." Mei Xue recalled Qi Wuyou's childhood and a happy smile appeared on her face.

But the smile soon disappeared. Mei Xue said with red eyes, "But the princess used to be soft-hearted and was often bullied by other princes and princesses, but Princess Twenty-Seven always appeared to protect her."

"She was only seven years old at the time, but she beat several princes who were older than her until they cried loudly."

Everyone was confused, isn't this a good thing?

"The princess was only five years old at the time. She liked this sister who was kind to her very much and often went to play with her."

"Madam doesn't know about these things, because Madam and Concubine Yin don't get along. To be more precise, Concubine Yin doesn't get along with everyone in the palace, so the princess only dares to play with the twenty-seventh princess secretly."

"What happened next?" Xuan Yelan asked puzzledly. What happened next?

"Later, I don't know what happened, but Princess Twenty-Seven changed. She began to distance herself from the princess and even started to bully her. The princess was very sad and simply stopped associating with her," Mei Xue wiped away her tears.

"At first, Hanxiang was the one who was weird. She obviously loved playing with the princess the most, but at that time she always locked herself in the room and took a bath over and over again."

"I didn't understand what happened at the time, and she wouldn't tell me when I asked her. Later, Hanxiang seemed to return to normal and started playing and fighting with the princess again."

"Three months passed like this. In the morning, the princess asked for the shortbread made by Hanxiang. I searched the entire Huayang Palace but couldn't find her. She rarely left the palace."

"When I asked Manxiang, I noticed that she looked strange and just said she was going to look for it."

"But many days have passed and neither of them has come back."

Xuan Yelan couldn't help but feel distressed. It was normal for one or two palace maids to be missing in the palace for no reason, but this matter involved the girl who was the apple of his eye.

"I can only lie to the princess and tell her that they have asked for grace to return home to visit their relatives and will be back soon."

"The princess's expression at the time told me that she knew I was lying to her, but she didn't say anything."

So when the princess' birthday came, I left for a while to serve her the longevity noodles made by her wife, and when I came back, the princess was gone."

"And then what?" Xuan Yelan asked anxiously.

"There is a box on the table, and inside the box is a rattle. There is also a tiger puppet."

"Rattle? Doll? Nothing else?" Xuan Yelan asked.

Mei Xue nodded, "I thought it was a gift from the Madam, so I kept it well. The princess came back soon after. That night, she started having nightmares. After she woke up, she started crying. She lay in my arms and trembled."

"The next day, when I was tidying up the princess' bed, I found a note saying, 'There is a birthday gift for you in the side hall of the cold palace.' The handwriting was very familiar. It seemed to be from the twenty-seventh princess. I felt that the princess's change was related to the cold palace."

"So that night I went to the cold palace and saw..." Mei Xue suddenly burst into tears.

Although Mei Xue didn't finish her words, Xuan Yelan felt that he knew what the so-called birthday gift in the cold palace was.

Xuan Yelan clenched his fists, "Is it Hanxiang and Manxiang?"

Mei Xue nodded, covered her mouth and spoke incoherently, "They were all skinned and their bodies were torn into pieces. Hanxiang's stomach was ripped open, and the side hall was full of blood."

"I was terrified and left immediately. When I got back, I saw the princess staring at the box that day."

"At first I thought it was just an ordinary rattle, but the mark on the rattle really looks like the birthmark on Manxiang's hand."

Xuan Yelan suddenly had a bad guess, "What about the puppet? What's inside the puppet?"

"An unformed fetus." Mei Xue said sadly.

The room was unusually silent, as no one had recovered from the fact that a little girl could be so cruel.

After a long while, Lu Yu asked, "According to what you said, the two of them have been missing for a long time. How did you determine that they were the ones imprisoned in the cold palace?"

"They have been missing for a long time, but there was no bad smell in the cold palace except the smell of blood. I remember it very clearly, and the bodies were still dripping with blood, just like..."

Just been killed.

Mei Xue didn't finish her words, but everyone understood.

Xuan Yelan clenched his fists, furious. He wished he could rush to Qi and skin Qi Zi alive.

She was so vicious at such a young age. She knew how important these two people were to her, but she still let them die tragically on her birthday, as well as the fetus...

It seems that this was a crime committed by a brother and sister. Six years have passed now, and I'm sure more people have died tragically at their hands.
