Since entering the capital, she has been thinking about this man. She just wants to be with him for the rest of her life, or she is greedy for his unparalleled beauty, or she is greedy for his wealth and glory, or she just wants to walk into his heart and become what he wants. She protects the person at the top of her heart, but now, there is only despair and sadness in her eyes.
Tears fell unconsciously, and she tightened her hands tightly on the dry firewood on the ground. It turned out that there had been someone in that position for a long time, and it was no longer what others could think of. It was in vain that she thought she could rely on Concubine Zhao. Her strength and her appearance firmly pushed Mo Xuetong down.
It turns out that everything was wishful thinking!
Holding her hands tightly, she let the sharp thorns on the firewood pierce her palms. The pain made her scream for a few moments. Tears fell one by one, but a smile appeared on her face. This wishful thinking was given to her by the He family. Since entering the He family, what the He family has instilled in them is that marrying into the royal family will bring prosperity to the He family.
"Princess, do you find it strange that He Yufen, I, Empress Zhao, and Concubine Xian look alike, but why do people who are clearly not related by blood act like they are biological children?" He Yufen raised her teary eyes and stared at Mo. Xue Tong, tears rushed out with dirty marks on her face.
"Why is that?" Mo Xuetong asked calmly, and the answer was actually ready to come out.
"Ever since Concubine Xian entered the palace and received the favor, the He family has been looking for a woman who is similar to Concubine Xian to keep in order to maintain their favor. Concubine Zhao was selected at that time, the woman who most resembled Concubine Xian. , and then sent to the palace, something happened to the He family and they were kicked out of the capital, but even in a small town, the He family never gave up looking for a beautiful girl similar to Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhao."
He Yufen's eyes fell on the dirty window, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and continued: "This is how He Yuxiu and I were selected, and were given the status of the eldest lady and second lady of the He family. The usual upbringing is all based on what the He family provided to Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhao in the past."
Both myself and He Yuxiu were recruited by the He family from the prostitutes in the brothel. She was only eight years old at the time and He Yuxiu was seven years old. Later, the He family gave them the best education, from behavioral etiquette to playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She and He Yuxiu always knew that they were going to serve the eighth prince Feng Juoran in the prince's palace. In their hearts, they had long regarded themselves as Feng Jueran's people.
The He family had been waiting for the opportunity to go to Beijing, but unfortunately they never had the chance. They had to wait for Prince Xuan's wedding, and the He family hurriedly accepted an offer before they had the chance to go to Beijing.

"How many years have you lived in the He family?" Mo Xuetong frowned and asked suspiciously.
"It's been almost nine years." He Yufen couldn't help but shed tears again. During these nine years, what they heard the most was how the Eighth Prince was doing. Although the Eighth Prince was sent out of the palace later, the He family did not give up.
For nine years, it was Concubine Xian who should have died at that time, Concubine Zhao was imprisoned in Mingyue Palace, and Feng Juoran was sent out of the palace after almost dying. How could the He family predict what would happen to Feng Juoran in a few years? If you don't return to the palace, what makes the He family so persistent and spend so much time training two women similar to Concubine Xian to be sent to Feng Juoran.
"In the past nine years, you and He Yuxiu have been staying at home?"
"Yes, He Yuxiu and I have been learning all kinds of etiquette. We usually stay at home and don't show up when the He family is socializing, so people outside have no idea what He Yuxiu and I look like. It is said that the two ladies of the He family are usually quiet and chaste, and are the real ladies of the family."
He Yufen lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. At that time, she and He Yuxiu were extremely disdainful of the ladies in the He family. They felt that they were neither beautiful nor elegant in behavior and could not be compared with themselves. Yes, but who would have thought that after going around and around, he would almost be sent to the building again.
"There has never been a break in these nine years?" Mo Xuetong suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked again.
"No, it has never stopped in the past nine years. A specific nun comes every day." He Yufen turned around, knelt down facing Mo Xuetong again, raised her face that was dirty from crying, and said to Mo Xuetong He kowtowed and said: "Princess, what happened that day was also decided by the He family. I don't know who specifically operated it. The two brothers of the He family are also very wary of me. I still find out some things from other people's mouths." Come."
"Tell us about Concubine Zhao!" Mo Xuetong blinked her watery eyes smartly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and skipped He Yufen's words and went straight to the topic. In fact, she had already guessed about the He family's affairs, and she also I think this is the most likely thing, otherwise Concubine Xian is not the biological daughter of the He family, why would she look similar to Concubine He Yufen, He Yuxiu, and Concubine Zhao.
If there is no real blood relationship, it means that the He family found them specially.
"I... I don't know much about Concubine Zhao. The two of the He family... sometimes talk behind our backs." He Yufen said timidly.
"Since you don't know anything, why bother asking people to come to me." Mo Xuetong stood up suddenly, looked at He Yufen coldly, turned around and was about to walk out.
He Yufen's intuition was not good. Looking at Mo Xuetong's absolute figure, she had a feeling that if she missed this time, she might really have no chance. His Highness Prince Xuan looked at her with ruthless and cold eyes that day. Her eyes made her feel scared every time she thought about them.
"Princess, Princess, I said, I... I will tell you everything I know..." She couldn't care about anything at this time. She thought of the helplessness she felt after being dragged out that day, and the despair of being locked up here these past few days. I feel that if she stays like this, she will go crazy. She will definitely go crazy.
She doesn't want to be here anymore.
Mo Xuetong stopped, turned her head slightly, and looked at He Yufen coldly, with a smile on her lips, which made people look cold for no reason.
"He Yufen, this is your last chance. If you can't even grasp this opportunity, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely tell everything I know. I will never, never dare to deceive the princess." He Yufen just wants to survive now. She doesn't care about anything else. She keeps kowtowing. She has lost her mind at this time. How can she dare to To hide it, there might have been some intention to take advantage of Qiao before, but seeing Mo Xuetong's determination, how could he dare to raise conditions.
"Princess, I... I really don't know much. I heard it secretly a few days ago. He Yuxiu disappeared a few days ago. That night, the two brothers of the He family were sitting in the study room discussing the matter. I don't know if it was in the mansion. There were so many people sent out, even the housekeeper in the yard was not there, I secretly hid under the window and heard some."
He Yufen said that she thought of that night, the night when He Yuxiu escaped. She was very happy at the time. She and He Yuxiu had always been at odds. Both of them knew that when they entered the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the future, there would be the same man who would compete for favor, so when they were young, , two people appear to be respectful sisters on the surface, but privately each wants to pull the other down.
Unexpectedly, after thinking about it for so many years, He Yuxiu was really gone. Why not make He Yufen happy? At that time, she thought about adding insult to injury and saying a few words to the He brothers to let them understand that she was the only one who was valuable now and let them You can take a higher look at her and help her more.
Normally, when the He brothers were discussing things in the study, the housekeeper would always guard the door. As soon as he saw him coming, he would stop him before going in to report. This has been like this for many years. Unexpectedly, this time He Yufen came all the way, and there was someone there. She didn't see anyone, which made her curious.
He simply stepped lightly, turned around, and turned to the back of the study. Only when he reached the back window, he heard the second son of the He family angrily said: "Brother, what should I do? Do you want to inform Concubine Zhao in the palace and tell her What about the disappearance of that little bitch He Yuxiu?”
"Don't be anxious. Even if you want to see the empress at this time, you won't be able to see her. Even the adults have said, please be patient and wait." The voice of the uncle of the He family also sounded very anxious, and he heard the words on the table There was a heavy knocking sound when the teacup was put down, and it was obvious that the two people inside were very upset.
He Yufen hid there and became more and more afraid to make a sound.
"Lian An is not a good guy either. We, the He family, have spent so much effort to put him in the position of minister. Now that the He family is in trouble, he actually told us to wait a little longer. We can wait a little longer." Now that we're out of the mountain, if we wait any longer, that little bitch He Yuxiu will run away." The second master of the He family turned around in circles in annoyance. He couldn't bear it any longer, and Lian Lianan also scolded him.
"Shut up, second brother, you don't want your life!" The eldest son of the He family lowered his voice and cursed angrily.
"I'm right. Lian An and Concubine Zhao had such a relationship back then. They have been in the capital for so many years. It's not easy for them to meet and talk about things. It must be Lian An who doesn't want to pass the message for us." Although the second child of the He family was frightened and lowered his voice, he was obviously still a little dissatisfied and muttered a few words.
"After that, the housekeeper went back and forth to report the matter about He Yuxiu. I was afraid of being seen and didn't dare to listen more, so I secretly went back to the backyard." He Yufen said.
The relationship between Concubine Zhao and Lian An? Mo Xuetong frowned, looking a little confused. What relationship does Concubine Zhao have with Lian An? According to He Yufen, Lian An was favored by the He family. No wonder he became the youngest minister among the six books at a young age and with no background.
But what is his relationship with Concubine Zhao
Mingyu and Mingxia's faces that were somewhat similar to Concubine Zhao suddenly appeared in his mind. A flash of inspiration flashed, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes: "Lian An was engaged to a young lady from the He family. You Do you know who it is?"
"I've never heard of this." He Yufen thought for a while and replied.
Mo Xuetong pondered for a moment, nodded, and then turned to He Yufen and said, "He Yufen, I can give you a chance, a chance to survive, but can you grasp it..."
"I can definitely do it, I can do it. No matter what the princess asks me to do, I am willing to do it!" He Yufen just wants to survive now. She doesn't care about anything else. She doesn't want to stay in such a dirty place anymore. Mo Xuetong said it's okay. Give her a chance to live, her eyes lit up, and she kowtowed excitedly.
As long as she can survive, as long as she can leave here, she is willing to do whatever is asked of her! After being imprisoned for these few days, she understood clearly that for her crimes, even being cut into pieces was not an exaggeration. However, these crimes were not what she wanted to commit. It was the He family and Concubine Zhao who gave her this Wishful thinking, it's all them.
This time she had long forgotten how she wanted to get rid of Mo Xuetong. She only put all the blame on others and felt that she was the most innocent... (To be continued)
