After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

"Brother Prince, this cake is so sweet and delicious. You need to eat it well to have the strength..."

A burst of fire swept over, like a beast with its bloody mouth wide open, instantly swallowing the little girl.

“Rui Er!!”

Murong Jingyan woke up from his desk in shock.

What caught my eye was the familiar furnishings in the study.

He Hong's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"

Murong Jingyan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

As long as he closed his eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao's appearance and Rui'er's appearance would alternate in his mind.

He sighed and gently rubbed his sore temples, "Nothing, leave."

"Yes."

The study fell silent again.

Murong Jing glanced at the sky.

The half moon is still hanging in the east.

It is probably the beginning of the Xu hour now.

I haven't dreamed of Rui'er for a long time.

"It is probably that what you feel during the day you dream at night."

He murmured, leaning back slightly in his chair.

Looking at the beams in the room, the day when he first met Gu Xiaoxiao involuntarily emerged in his mind.

That day, in order to find a key token in Prince Rong's Mansion, he personally performed on stage in Prince Rong's Mansion.

But he didn't expect that someone in Prince Rong's Mansion would dare to drug him.

If that little girl hadn't dragged her to an abandoned old house, he would have been knocked unconscious...

Seeing the little girl's unclear pronunciation made him let down his guard, Murong Jingyan thought in his heart that he must not be soft-hearted.

But he couldn't help but take the pill that still had the little girl's body temperature.

At that time, he looked at the direction where Gu Xiaoxiao left, but he thought of his half-sister.

Rui'er has only been in this world for six years.

When she was thirteen years old, five-year-old Rui'er took advantage of the palace servants' inattention, ran to him crying, hugged his thighs and begged him to save his mother.

Only then did he realize that in the cold palace, there was actually a pitiful mother and daughter, Concubine He.

In Murong Jingyan's impression, his other imperial sisters were all domineering and arrogant.

But Rui'er is just the opposite.

The moment she knew his identity, Rui'er was scared and wanted to stay away from him.

He did not force her. After sending the imperial physician to treat Concubine He, he only instructed the palace maids to take good care of the mother and daughter. After that, he did not take this matter to heart.

later...

The Queen Mother was slandered, and everyone avoided the Eastern Palace.

The first people to stand up and speak up for his mother were the group of abandoned concubines in the cold palace who had no status.

Except for a few who had gone mad or disabled, the remaining abandoned concubines all participated in the blood petition, begging the emperor to give justice to the empress.

Murong Jingyan couldn't imagine how much effort Concubine He had put in to be able to gather the resentful deposed concubines together in such a place.

That dirty little girl even sneaked into the Eastern Palace when he was seriously ill and under house arrest, and brought him a piece of hard cake.

"Brother Prince, this cake is so sweet and delicious. You must eat more. Only when you are full will you have the strength..."

In the freezing winter, even the palace maids and eunuchs who guarded him hid aside to keep warm.

Not to mention that there are people who care about his life or death at that time...

The hard pastry is still warm.

That was the true heart that his half-sister presented to him.

That day, he ate the hard cake with snow water and cried.

The cake must have been stored for a long time; it was a bit stale and dry, but it was the sweetest cake he had ever tasted...

Those days were the darkest and most difficult times for him, so difficult that he even thought he would not survive that winter.

But the next day, he miraculously woke up.

From that moment on, he secretly made up his mind that he must clear his mother's grievances and rescue Rui'er and her daughter from the cold palace.

But later, before the witchcraft case was overturned, his mother and grandfather all passed away.

Later, the cold palace was also burned down.

That night, the fire in the cold palace dyed half of the sky over the imperial palace red, and no one survived the blaze.

It was not until last year that he found out that Concubine Zhao was behind everything.

The support behind Concubine Zhao is the Anping Marquis Mansion.

Shen Xi had once been engaged to the Anping Marquisate, and from the very beginning, she was just a chess piece in his chess game.

After drinking a cup of cold tea, Murong Jingyan suppressed the strange emotions he felt when he saw Shen Xi today.

His expression returned to coldness again.

There were two quick knocks on the door.

Murong Jingyan looked outside the door, "What's going on?"

He Hong's voice came from outside the house again, "Your Highness, Du Heng went to the Shen Mansion."

...

Shen House.

At this time, Shen Muxi was standing upright in the middle of the front hall and was being questioned.

In addition to Old Madam Shen, Shen Chuanhai also sat at the top.

On the lower left was Du Heng, who was holding his stomach and looked pale. Shen Rou was standing beside Du Heng, looking at him with a distressed look on her face.

"Brother Du Heng has lost so much weight, how could he possibly be lying?"

Shen Chuanhai looked at Shen Muxi fiercely again.

"Are you sure you didn't do anything like this?"

Just as Shen Muxi was about to speak, Du Heng retorted indignantly, "How could it be possible that there wasn't any? If that wasn't poisoning, then what about the diarrhea I've had these days? Is it just bad luck?"

Shen Muxi shrugged and spread his hands innocently, "If you think so, I can't help it."

"you..."

Du Heng's half-extended finger was pushed back by Shen Rou.

"Sister, I know you have something against me, but you can't take your anger out on Brother Du Heng because of me."

She looked timid, but when she looked at Shen Muxi, there was a smug glint in her eyes.

It was as if telling her: If you can threaten me, can't I use other people to suppress you?

Shen Muxi glanced coldly at Shen Chuanhai, who was sitting at the top, and Shen Rou's words, whose face darkened instantly as he wished he could kill her, and Old Madam Shen, who had a calm expression.

"Does father and grandmother think so too?"

Without looking at any evidence, as long as someone comes out to accuse her, you will push her out to calm the situation down without thinking?

Although Shen Chuanhai thought it was a bit outrageous that Du Heng came to Shen Muxi's house to pick on her just because he had diarrhea for a few days, he was still his future son-in-law after all...

He changed his gloomy expression and looked at Shen Muxi in embarrassment.

"Xi'er, we are family after all. If there are any misunderstandings, let's talk them out and resolve them properly. Don't damage the harmony."

"A family?" Shen Muxi sneered at Shen Chuanhai, "I treat you as a family when I need you to give in. Do you treat me as a family at other times?"

Fortunately, neither she nor Shen Xi had any hope for the people in the Shen family, otherwise Shen Xi would have been so angry that he would have died.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If we weren't a family, we..."

"Xi'er, the prince is here, there's no point in you quibbling." Old Madam Shen's cold words interrupted Shen Chuanhai's self-justification and brought the topic back.

Shen Muxi had no intention of bringing up old matters with them, but just wanted to buy some time.

After Mrs. Shen interrupted her, she did not get angry, but turned to look at Du Heng.

The deep and calm gaze made Du Heng feel uneasy.

"Your driver also clearly saw you put the poison into my mouth."

He emphasized.

Shen Muxi sneered, "Have you seen a doctor?"
