"Concubine Ning died due to dystocia giving birth to the third prince, and the third prince did not survive in the end. However, shortly after Concubine Ning's death, Princess Xining also died of illness." Tian Qiyu vaguely felt that Princess Xining's death had something to do with Concubine Ning.

I can't think of any clues related to the death of the third prince.

"Fourth prince, do you also think that the deaths of the third prince and Concubine Ning are related to Princess Xining?" Mu Yingxi asked in a low voice whether she should continue to pursue the case with Tian Qiyu. She was afraid that she would get something bigger.

conspiracy.

Tian Qiyu sighed lightly and said slowly: "I have never seen Princess Xining, but by chance, I saw the portrait of Princess Xining. She was an extremely beautiful woman. I didn't know what to say.

How to describe her beauty? Princess Xining’s mother-in-law is a foreigner. Princess Xining’s hair is different from ours, it is black curly hair. You are a princess, but Princess Xining’s dress is very simple, with only a wooden hairpin.

With her hair pulled up, Princess Xining in the painting is wearing Tsing Yi. Just one glance is unforgettable."

Tsing Yi with curly hair? Gu Chenxuan's figure suddenly appeared in Mu Yingxi's mind.

She remembered the first time she saw Gu Chenxuan, and she had only one thought in her mind: why a man could be so beautiful. If Gu Chenxuan were a woman, his beauty would never be inferior to hers.

"Fourth Prince, if the Third Prince is still alive, how old would he be?" Mu Yingxi said fearfully, holding her hands together tightly. There are many people who like Tsing Yi, but there are very few people with curly hair...

"One year older than me." Tian Qiyu answered truthfully.

Mu Yingxi was so shocked that she knocked over the tea cup. She was dressed in green and had curly hair. She was one year older than Tian Qi Yuxu. Could Gu Chenxuan be the third prince who died in infancy?

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong? Did you think of something?" Tian Qiyu looked at Mu Yingxi worriedly and wanted to hold Mu Yingxi's hand, but Mu Yingxi quickly withdrew his hand.

"It's okay, I accidentally touched the teacup with my hand." Mu Yingxi lowered her head slightly to prevent Tian Qiyu from prying into her expression.

If Gu Chenxuan is the third prince, and Gu Chenxuan has inherited Princess Xining’s curly hair, Mu Yingxi feels fear, bone-crushing fear, if Gu Chenxuan is the son of Princess Xining, and the son of the emperor. Emperor

He fell in love with his own sister, and in order to keep his throne, he had to kill his son and his favorite woman, and even sacrifice innocent concubines.

Mu Yingxi felt the cold, kept trembling, and said slowly: "Fourth Prince, I am feeling a little unwell. Can you let me take a rest now?"

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? I'll ask the imperial doctor." Tian Qiyu looked at Mu Yingxi worriedly.

"No, just let me sleep on the couch for a while." Mu Yingxi stood up hesitantly and walked directly to the small couch. Only she knew the turbulence in her heart.

She privately created an official status for Gu Chenxuan. If Gu Chenxuan entered the court and became an official, Gu Chenxuan's curly hair would remind people of too many things, and it might even put Gu Chenxuan in a situation that is beyond redemption.

What on earth should she do to help Tian Qiyu get the throne without letting anyone hurt Gu Chenxuan in the slightest.

Slowly closing his eyes, pretending to be asleep, but secretly thinking in his heart, how to prevent Gu Chenxuan from getting hurt.

"Xiao Xi, are you asleep?" Looking at Mu Yingxi's back, Tian Qiyu couldn't help but asked.

"No, I was just thinking about what kind of beauty Princess Xining is. Maybe it is Princess Xining that the emperor can't let go of." After a while, Mu Yingxi responded calmly. She wanted to ruin her relationship with Princess Xining.

Everything, if her guess is true, Princess Xining is a taboo in the palace, and not many people know about it.

"I can't describe that kind of beauty. I have seen the portrait of Princess Xining. After a long time, what remains in my mind is just a vague figure. The only description is that she is an extremely beautiful woman.

Tian Qiyu said with a frown, observing Mu Yingxi's condition.

If Gu Chenxuan is the child of Princess Xining and Tian Qijing, Mu Yingxi would rather he remember that he is the son of a prostitute and the son of incest. How could the royal family allow such a stain to exist?

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?" Tian Qiyu waved his hand in front of Mu Yingxi's eyes.

Mu Yingxi came back to her senses and shook her head gently, "I was just thinking about hunting."

"Don't worry, I won't lose to Tian Qixiang when it comes to riding and shooting, not to mention that I still have you. You didn't see Tian Qixiang's face during that hunting..." Tian Qiyu's voice became weaker and weaker.

The hunt had unpleasant memories for the two of them.

"Xiao Xi, aren't you tired? Have a good sleep, I will be here with you." Tian Qiyu carefully observed Mu Yingxi's face and quietly changed the topic.

Mu Yingxi gently turned sideways, with her back to Tian Qiyu. Some things happened, and if you don't forget them deliberately, the memory will no longer exist.

The scorching gaze from behind never left, but Mu Yingxi did not dare to turn around. She just wanted to completely destroy everything about Princess Xining when Gu Chenxuan appeared in front of Tian Qiyu.

After thinking about it, he unconsciously fell asleep lying on the couch like this. Tian Qiyu remained motionless and looked at Mu Yingxi, and then fell asleep next to Mu Yingxi.

It was almost lunch time and neither of them woke up.

Mu Yingran was afraid that Tian Qiyu would forget to eat because he was busy, so he personally took lunch to Tian Qiyu's study.

She knocked softly on the door outside the study but no one answered. Mu Yingran gently opened the door. What she saw in front of her shocked her so much that she almost knocked over the food in her hands.

In the quiet scene, Mu Yingxi was sleeping sideways on the couch, while Tian Qiyu supported his forehead with his hands and leaned quietly on the couch. Such a harmonious scene could not accommodate anyone.

Hearing the noise, Tian Qiyu slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Mu Yingran standing at the door holding food, he immediately got up and walked over, took the food, and whispered: "Let's go out first, don't disturb the little one."

Hope’s sweet dream.”

Mu Yingran followed Tian Qiyu numbly. His care and doting were all given to Mu Yingxi. She got nothing, even though she was the real fourth imperial concubine.

"Brother, are you tired?" Mu Yingran asked in a low voice, following Tian Qiyu's steps step by step.

Tian Qiyu suddenly stopped. Mu Yingran was caught off guard and bumped into Tian Qiyu's back. He was so shocked that he immediately knelt down.

Tian Qiyu placed the food in his hand on the stone beside him, leaned over and helped Mu Yingran up.

"You don't have to be so restrained in front of me." Tian Qiyu said softly.

Mu Yingran's eyes turned red instantly, and she could not tell anyone about her grievances. She had such privileges not because she was Tian Qiyu's wife, but because she was Mu Yingxi's sister.

So what if she has the same appearance, after all, she cannot replace Mu Yingxi's position in Tian Qiyu's heart.

Mu Yingran hugged Tian Qiyu with tears in her eyes. When Tian Qiyu wanted to push her away, she begged: "Don't push me away, just for a while, just for a while. Let me hold you like this, just for a while."

Tian Qiyu was afraid that pushing Mu Yingran away like this would make Mu Yingran sad, so he hesitantly stretched out his hands and hugged Mu Yingran gently.

When Tian Qiyu left, Mu Yingxi had already woken up. When she could no longer hear any movement outside the door, Mu Yingxi got up from the couch, opened the door, and saw this scene.

A smile of relief appeared on Mu Yingxi's lips. She shouldn't cry, she should laugh. This was her own decision, and she must not regret it.

Tian Qiyu raised his eyes, but his eyes met Mu Yingxi's. However, in his dark pupils, Tian Qiyu could not see any sadness, only deep blessings.

Tian Qiyu couldn't help but force his hand on Mu Yingran's waist. Why did she only have blessings in her eyes.

Feeling Tian Qiyu's emotional change, Mu Yingran raised his head, only to find that Tian Qiyu's eyes were fixed on one spot, with a look of pain in his eyes.

There was no need to guess who the person in the pupils was. Mu Yingran slowly turned around and called with a smile: "Brother, are you awake? Are you hungry? I ordered someone to make some love for you and the Fourth Prince.

I wanted you to eat the food in the study, but you fell asleep, so the Fourth Prince and I couldn't bear to wake you up, so we carried the food out of the study again."

"I actually slept for so long." Mu Yingxi walked towards the two of them with a smile.

"Brother, can we have lunch together?" Mu Yingran looked at Mu Yingxi coquettishly. Only when Mu Yingxi was around, she could get a moment of Tian Qiyu's tenderness.

Mu Yingxi couldn't bear to disturb Mu Yingran's time with Tian Qiyu, and looked at Tian Qiyu pleadingly, "Fourth Prince, I have something urgent to do today, can you allow me to leave the palace?"

Mu Yingxi never thought that her concession would make Mu Yingran even more disappointed with her. Mu Yingran never realized Mu Yingxi's good intentions, and even blamed Mu Yingxi in his heart, not even the last falsehood.

Willing to maintain.

Tian Qiyu didn't want to deliberately pretend to be good to Mu Yingran in front of Mu Yingxi. Mu Yingxi proposed to leave, but he didn't try to stay.

Tian Qiyu sent Mu Yingxi away with a smile. Mu Yingran looked sadly at Mu Yingxi's leaving figure, and bitterly leaned over to take the tray Tian Qiyu placed on the stone in his hand.

"Fourth Prince, can I have dinner with you?" Mu Yingran looked at Tian Qiyu pleadingly, begging him not to reject her sad begging.

But the truth is always cruel. Tian Qiyu glanced at her in embarrassment and said apologetically: "Xiaoran, I have something else to do, so I can't have dinner with you." As soon as he finished speaking, before Mu Yingran could say anything,

In response, he immediately ran away.

The hand holding the tray trembled slightly. After Tian Qiyu left, Mu Yingran slammed the tray in his hand to the ground.

The porcelain plate shattered on the floor, making a harsh sound, like the sound of Mu Yingran's heart breaking.

"Why are you unwilling to give me the last bit of charity?" There was a tingling sensation in the palm of her hand. Mu Yingran glanced at her injured hand in despair. She no longer knew when it was broken. The bright red blood flowed along the

When her fingertips fell, she felt no pain and walked slowly towards her room.
