The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Although Xuanyuan Yuqing said a lot, some of them were heartbreaking and sad.

The little princess is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager, has a noble status and is the true legitimate princess of Beiqiu.

The queen was so worried about her distant relatives that she had been kneeling in front of the palace for three days and three nights without eating or drinking. Her body was as frail as a dead tree that would break at the slightest bend. When she learned that her daughter had passed away suddenly, she, who had a daughter in her old age, felt as if she had been tortured by countless swords and knives. The endless grief hit her heart.

Her knees were numb from kneeling for so long that she couldn't stand up. She cried and crawled towards the imperial garden.

The servants around her hurriedly helped her up and stumbled to the little princess' side.

On the grass beside the hexagonal stones in the imperial garden, small flowers that were not afraid of the severe cold bloomed. The winter snow fell on the stamens and on the pale and silent face of the little princess.

At this moment, her mother wished she could open her eyes to see how beautiful the fluttering snowflakes were falling on the flowers.

Unfortunately, she closed her eyes forever.

When Hu Luanfei and Xuanyuan Yuqing arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen was holding the little princess in mourning clothes. The coffin for the little princess was already placed in Fengyi Palace, which served as the mourning hall for the little princess. Candles were lit on the table, and there were many fruits and snacks that the little princess loved to eat, as well as the small silk cloth she was born in.

The queen could no longer cry.

The inside and outside of the mourning hall were hung with white gauze. The palace maids had changed into white clothes to keep vigil for the princess, and wore white flowers on their heads. They all knelt in the mourning hall, looking sad.

Fortunately, Hu Luanfei changed into plain clothes on the way, otherwise the fiery red foreign clothes might have put him in a disadvantageous position.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and a group of concubines arrived. They all changed into plain clothes. When they saw Hu Luanfei was also there, Concubine Shu was stunned.

"I thought Concubine Hu was back, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Princess Zhan."

Concubine Xian took a quick look at Hu Luanfei's outfit today and said, "His appearance and figure are indeed very similar to Concubine Hu's."

Hu Luanfei stood among the concubines and whispered, "Now is not the time for idle chat. I hope that the Empress Shu, the Empress Xian, and all the other ladies will move into the palace to persuade the Empress."

The pain of losing a daughter cannot be comforted by others.

No one dared to say anything and stood quietly in the yard.

At this time, the queen gently put down the little princess, walked sadly to Hu Luanfei, and in front of everyone's eyes, she slapped Hu Luanfei hard in the face.

"You deserve to die, Concubine Hu! Why don't you kneel down!" The Queen pointed at Hu Luanfei and scolded her harshly.

In an instant, Hu Luanfei felt all the blood rushing to his face, especially the place where he was hit, which was hot and scorching. His eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, and he could not see people and objects near or far.

Xuanyuan Yuqing rushed over and protected Hu Luanfei behind him, "Mother, she is not Concubine Hu, she is Princess Zhan."

The Queen was so grief-stricken that she could not recognize anyone. She approached Hu Luanfei with red eyes, her expression full of deep hatred, and she could not stop shaking all over. She stared at Hu Luanfei, her eyes were red with anger: "Hu Luanfei is Hu Cuiwei, who died unwillingly 20 years ago, and now has turned into a fierce ghost and is back to take my daughter's life!"

Consort Shu and Consort Xian hurriedly stopped the queen from the left and right, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This person in front of you is really Hu Luanfei. If you don't believe me, take a closer look at her appearance. She is just a little girl of about 21 or 22 years old."

The queen was not listening at all. She was furious, veins popped out on her forehead, and her eyes were filled with poison. She wished she could poison Hu Luanfei to death. Her ten fingers were like green onions, and she pinched Hu Luanfei's neck viciously. Her long, sharp nails dug deep into Hu Luanfei's flesh.

"I don't believe it!" The queen abandoned her virtuous character and became as vicious as a street shrew. She shouted hysterically, "I saw her disappear out of thin air with my own eyes, and I also saw her transform out of thin air with my own eyes. How could what I saw with my own eyes be false? Hu Cuiwei, give me back my daughter's life!"

Hu Luanfei felt extremely miserable as new injuries were added to his wounds before the old ones healed.

The suffocation at this moment made her understand a lot. It was most likely the Queen's fault for A'niang falling into the water, but she just tested the law and got away with it.

"Mother, stop it. She is Princess Zhan!" Xuanyuan Yuqing used all his strength to pry open the queen's hands.

Hu Luanfei got a moment of freedom. He covered his neck like a fish that had come ashore, gasping for breath.

Shufei and Xianfei were also trying to persuade the empress, and the matter was brought to the Yangxin Palace. Xuanyuan Li, who had just woken up, had no time to be sad before he heard that Hu Luanfei was attacked by the empress. He rushed to Fengyi Palace without stopping from the Yangxin Palace.

The palace servant shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived—"

Everyone turned around and knelt down towards Xuanyuan Li.

The queen couldn't stop trembling and cried like an animal. Tears like pearls burst out of her eyes. "Your Majesty, please make the decision for Chao Yun and sentence Hu Cuiwei, who deserves the death of Chao Yun, to death."

Xuanyuan Li's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on the trembling Hu Luanfei, then moved away again.

He walked towards Princess Chaoyun with unsteady steps and a slight stagger.

There was a white soft couch on the floor in front of the coffin, and Princess Chaoyun was "sleeping" on it.

Xuanyuan Li half-knelt in front of the couch, gently stroking Chaoyun's forehead and pushing her bangs back again and again, "Good child, the new bed is too high for you to climb up, so let your father hold you up for the last time."

"No!" The queen knelt and crawled over, crying, "Don't put her in, she is afraid of the dark, she needs her mother!"

"Nonsense!"

The queen grabbed Xuanyuan Li's trouser leg and knelt down to beg Xuanyuan Li to let go of Princess Chaoyun. At this moment, she no longer had the graceful demeanor of a mother of a country. She was just an ordinary mother who lost her daughter.

The palace maid beside her pulled her up, and Xuanyuan Li carried Princess Chaoyun to the small golden coffin. He used all his tenderness to gently put the princess inside and ordered people to close the coffin lid.

When the eunuchs nailed the coffin with the nails several inches long, the queen's hope was completely shattered. She fell to her knees in front of the seemingly ordinary golden coffin. The hammers raised by the eunuchs seemed to hammer her heart again and again, and the overwhelming pain swept over her. She had never collapsed like this before.

"Hu Jieyu..." The queen lowered her head, her bangs slanting down, her face still the same, but a lot more depressed, she murmured: "I am sorry for you, please let Chaoyun go."

No one here is Concubine Hu.

The Queen's mind began to become abnormal again. She stared at her hands, crying and laughing. Suddenly, she turned her eyes away, her eyes were cold, and she stared at Hu Luanfei.

Hu Luanfei was not afraid of her, anyway, she came to the palace to stir up trouble. Coincidentally, the whispers between Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian angered the queen.

Concubine Shu said, "The carp pond in the Imperial Garden is really weird. Twenty years ago in the winter, the Empress and Concubine Hu both fell into the water. Concubine Hu was unlucky and died with two lives. Just a few days ago, it was the turn of Princess Nanqi and Princess Zhan, and today Princess Chaoyun drowned. I dare not say it is a coincidence."

Concubine Xian whispered, "I think there may have been an injustice in the carp pond."
