The queen is so good at teasing that she makes the abstinent prince tremble

Just when Jiang Tangxi was about to recognize him, Xiao Yunxuan also saw Jiang Tangxi's reaction. She smiled and said to Jiang Tangxi, "How about it, are you surprised? Why does the person in this painting look almost exactly like Xiao Yuchen?"

Jiang Tangxi was puzzled and frowned as he asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Xiao Yunxuan cleared his throat and began to narrate: "The person in this portrait is an outstanding general. He...is also the childhood sweetheart of the Empress Dowager in the palace. Back then, the Empress Dowager coveted wealth and glory, and resolutely chose to enter the palace to become the favorite concubine of the Emperor. This general suffered a heavy blow, and in despair, he chose to join the army.

Unexpectedly, he won great victories on the battlefield. When he returned to the palace to be honored, the emperor married the then-favored princess to the general. On the one hand, it was to win over the general and make him continue to serve the royal family; on the other hand, it was also to keep him from changing his mind and be honest.

Jiang Tangxi stood there quietly, staring at Xiao Yunxuan, listening attentively to her story of the past.

Xiao Yunxuan showed a complicated expression on her face, and continued, "Originally, everything was fine. The general married the princess. The princess was gentle and kind, and they loved each other. Later, the princess became pregnant. This should have been a happy day for everyone. But the empress dowager suddenly went crazy, as if she was jealous of others living too well. One day, while the general was away, she actually sent someone to invite the princess to the palace.

I don't know what the dispute was about, but when the emperor and the general arrived, the queen mother fell off the high wall on purpose. Fortunately, the general reacted quickly and caught her in time, otherwise she would have died. As a result, she turned around and accused the princess of murdering her. She also produced a bunch of so-called "evidence" and caught the princess red-handed. The princess was stunned and had no power to refute, so she was locked up in the cold palace. "

"In the cold palace, the princess suffered a lot of torture. No one knows what terrible things she went through. In the end, the princess and the baby in her belly were not saved. When the general heard the news, his heart died. Later, he only wanted to find the truth. I don't know where he got the news from, but he finally knew that everything was deliberately framed by the Queen Mother.

He was so angry that he had a big quarrel with the Empress Dowager. Then, he could no longer tolerate it and started a rebellion, saying that he wanted the Emperor to give him an explanation.

But the emperor had long been fascinated by the beauty and family of the empress dowager, and he did not listen to the general's explanation at all, and even said that the general was ungrateful. In this way, the emperor mobilized the power of the whole country to strangle the general. The general had no choice but to escape from Dongli and go to that hellhole of Guquan. "

Heading to Koizumi?

Jiang Tangxi asked: "Then what?"

"Then?"

Xiao Yunxuan took a deep breath and continued, "When I was in Guquan, I met that great general. At that time, he was already an extremely powerful figure in Guquan, second only to the general. But a few years ago, he died of old age and illness. Why has Dongli always been unable to defeat Guquan in all these years? Most of the reason is because of his meddling over there. He has a deep hatred for Dongli and has been helping Guquan deal with us."

After listening to all this, Jiang Tangxi felt relieved.

She finally understood why the Queen Mother disliked her from the first moment she saw her. This was the reason.

It turns out that the old woman regarded herself as a substitute for her enemy.

Xiao Yunxuan continued to talk nonstop, recounting the grievances she had suffered in Guquan over the years. Her voice was sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, as if she wanted to pour out all the pain that had been pent up in her heart for many years.

Jiang Tangxi listened quietly at the side, without saying a word and without interrupting her.

Xiao Tingzhou, who was guarding the door, just listened curiously at first, but gradually, he understood the hatred and unwillingness in Xiao Yunxuan's heart.

Later, Xiao Tingzhou really couldn't bear to listen any longer. He felt very upset and chose to retreat quietly.

After a while, Xiao Yunxuan's emotions calmed down a little, and she started talking about Xiao Yuchen again.

"Xiao Yuchen, you are so disappointing. Originally, the position of the crown prince belonged to him, but he gave it to someone else." She pointed at Jiang Tangxi and said, "All this is because of you. If it weren't for you, how could he become like this?"

Jiang Tangxi shook his head and retorted: "Xiao Yunxuan, you don't know your own brother at all. For so many years, Xiao Yuchen actually felt guilty towards Xiao Yuxi."

Xiao Yunxuan didn't listen to her explanation at all. He shook his head vigorously and said loudly: "Humph, you only know the part he wants you to know. In fact, Xiao Yuchen wants the throne more than he thinks. He is just pretending that he doesn't care. I know him too well. He has great ambitions."

Jiang Tangxi looked at Xiao Yunxuan's crazy look and knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Xiao Yunxuan looked at Jiang Tangxi's already visibly pregnant belly, gently reached out and touched it, and asked Jiang Tangxi, "It's almost seven months, right?"

Jiang Tangxi felt a little uncomfortable when Xiao Yunxuan suddenly touched her belly, and she shrank back slightly.

But when Xiao Yunxuan asked about the month, he still replied: "Yes, it's almost seven months."

Xiao Yunxuan's hand stayed on Jiang Tangxi's belly for a moment, and there was an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

Then, she smiled incomprehensibly and said calmly, "It's just the last two or three months. I can still wait."

These words made Jiang Tangxi's heart skip a beat, and a feeling of uneasiness instantly surged into her heart, but she didn't understand what Xiao Yunxuan meant.

Then, Xiao Yunxuan's tone suddenly became gentler, and she said to Jiang Tangxi: "I hope you can take good care of the baby in your belly. This is Xiao Yuchen's last hope. Many things will happen in the capital later, and I hope you can accompany Xiao Yuchen."

After saying these words, Xiao Yunxuan turned around and left without hesitation.

Jiang Tangxi stared at Xiao Yunxuan's back in a daze, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

She felt that Xiao Yunxuan was indeed a little different today. He was no longer in the completely crazy state as before, but had a depth that was difficult to understand.

She really couldn't understand why Xiao Yunxuan, who she and she were not familiar with, would come to her in the middle of the night and say so many inexplicable things to her.

Moreover, the fact that Xiao Yuchen left the city had been lingering in her mind.

Why did he leave the city? He had said before that he was going to the palace, so what had happened in between?
