This banquet, as I expected, was not a good banquet.

A life who was still alive at the beginning of the meal was dragged out and beaten to death at the banquet. Once such a thing happened, even the Iron Whip King, who was as fierce as one of the eight kings on the grassland, faced with the table full of delicacies, he had no appetite to taste it.

So the banquet ended early.

Because it was still early, Pei Yuanxiu had to go to the imperial study room to deal with some things. He asked two girls who had been waiting beside him, one named Xiaochan and the other named Xiaowan, to come and support Han Ruoshi, who was pale and unable to stand firmly on the edge of the table, and to instruct them to send their wife back to rest and take good care of the baby.

Han Ruoshi looked back at him, her eyes flashing, as if she had something to say, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

She was like a completely defeated rooster, hanging her shoulders, allowing the two maids to hold her shoulders one by one, as if holding her hostage, and slowly walked out.

Pei Yuanxiu then looked at Han Zitong: "You should go back early and rest."

Han Zitong didn't say a few words from beginning to end. At this time, she had to speak, her voice was hoarse and no longer like herself. She coughed as soon as she opened her mouth, and then she said softly: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as she left, I followed her and didn't even need to remind her.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't really remind me, but just held the edge of the table and watched us all leave, then he heard a sound of cautious footsteps beside him. Gardi slowly walked to him and shouted softly: "Young Master..."

Han Zitong and I have already walked out of this side hall.

It’s already spring, but the wind at night is still chilling.

After Han Zitong walked half a step, I saw that although she kept walking forward, her steps were very stiff, as if the blood in her legs had frozen into a disease. Maybe if one step was wrong, she would collapse. But I didn't say anything, just walked with her. As she saw that she was about to reach the fork in the road ahead, she should go back to her Chonghua Palace. However, when she was about to turn around in a daze, I shouted softly: "Miss Zitong."

“…”

She paused for a moment, reacted for a while, and then slowly turned her head to look at me.

I smiled and said, "It's still early, do you want to sit there for a while?"

“…”

"Anyway, it's okay for you to go back now. Why don't we talk for a while?"

“…”

"OK?"

My tone seemed to be coaxing her, but she really had no warning or sensitivity. Her eyes were confused for a long time before flashing, she looked up at me and said, "Okay."

After all, Pei Yuanxiu is only targeting Han Ruoshi and Shengjing's people. Neither of me nor her was affected, and no one would have to watch her go back and stay calm. She was still free, so she walked side by side with me to the bedroom. When she entered the door, I asked Hua Zhu and the others to send some daughter tea. I had eaten a lot at the banquet just now, but I was afraid I would stop eating.

Once the door is closed, the chill of spring night is completely isolated outside.

But when I saw her sitting at the table, her face was still pale, as if she was staying in the snow and ice, I gently pushed a cup of hot tea to her hand and said softly: "I think you have a bad face, drink some hot tea to warm up."

She didn't say anything, but she obediently picked up the cup and took a sip.

Drinking the warm tea soup did bring back a little blood on her pale face and also made her eyes lively. She looked at the reflected appearance of herself swaying in the tea. After a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at me: "You have known it a long time ago."

“…”

"You have known for a long time that Yuan Xiu will do this."

“…”

"Did you know for a long time that he would use Xiaolian's life to calm the dispute between the two sides? Xiaolian will definitely die, right?"

“…”

"Yan Qingying, have you known it a long time ago?"

I was silent for a while, and looked at the clear tea water swaying slightly in the tea bowl, which also reflected my appearance. It was better than her, but it was a little pale. I smiled faintly and said, "I don't have the ability to predict the future, but I have always believed that what kind of ending a person often depends on what kind of person this person is. You once said that I can see through people's hearts, but what I see through is not the human hearts, but the good and evil of people."

“…”

"As the saying goes, good will be rewarded with evil will be rewarded with evil. This is the law of nature. Your sister's slave has been domineering for a long time. Isn't it natural to have such a result?"

When he heard me say the four words "natural", it seemed to shock her. Han Zitong looked up at me, and his expression was a little stunned for a moment.

She looked at me for a while and felt confused. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said, "What about her?"

"Um?"

"You know who I'm talking about."

"..." I was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: "She can't escape the four words "She is so clear about the truth of heaven."

Han Zitong said: "I mean, she wants to be the queen." She gritted her teeth and looked at me: "Is it impossible?"

I smiled faintly and said, "She has never had the chance to be a queen from the beginning."

Han Zitong was stunned: "Why?"

"Not mentioning what she did, she has violated the taboo of the Tian family. Can the people who are in the world behave like this?"

“…”

"It's like being an illiterate person to be a king, prince, general, and minister. It's not stable. Many things need others to give you opportunities, but you also need to practice by yourself."

Han Zitong was silent for a while and said, "But when she was born, there was obviously a minister who once said--"

"The Han family has a female general who plays the world, right?"

I interrupted her, and Han Zitong glanced at me, her expression on her face was a little complicated, and she nodded gently.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I said: "This is why I said that she had no chance to be a queen from the beginning."

"Why?"

"Because... the Han family has a daughter, which daughter of the Han family?"

“…”

"You never thought that it was you?"

Han Zitong was stunned for a moment, but this stunned was not because she was stunned by hearing what she had never heard before. On the contrary, she had not only heard this, but probably thought about it countless times. So the moment she was stunned just now was because my words coincided with some of the thoughts in her heart that they dare not be known, which made her stunned like this.

She bit her lower lip, was silent for a moment before saying softly: "But, it's not me."

"Why can't it be you?"

"Because--" She looked up at me, her eyes seemed very conflicted, and even a little painful. She hesitated for a while before she said softly: "When my parents passed away, I told me to take good care of my sister. I will be fine as long as my sister is well."

“…”

"Their words clearly mean that I can only have a place to live if my sister becomes the queen."

“…”

I looked at her in conflict and pain and couldn't help but chuckled.

She immediately looked at me: "Why are you laughing at?"

I said, "I laugh at you, Lingzun Lingtang, and it is rare to work hard."

"What's the meaning?"

I didn't answer her immediately, but took another big sip of the tea. I dipped it with my little finger and gently wrote her and Han Ruoshi's names on the table, and then said, "Ruoshi, Zitong, do you think there is anything strange about your name and your sister?"

"Strange? What's strange?"

"Even if you are all daughters, you can't enter the family tree and use your family's genre. However, if you are a pair of twin sisters, you have the same appearance, and your family's names will not be too biased. Right?"

She looked at me blankly.

I smiled and said, "But the names of you and your sister are very different, one is Zitong and the other is Ruoshi."

"So what?"

"Because there is a secret in your name."

"What?"

Under her surprised gaze, I dipped my little finger in some tea, and gently wrote two more words next to the two words "Zitong" on the table-

Zi Child.

She was stunned: "This is-"

I sighed softly and said, "After the Pei clan entered the pass, many old rules were abolished, and some titles, etiquette and laws were gradually disappeared in the Central Plains. Therefore, most of the people born in this generation of you and your sister do not know this title, but your parents must have known it, so they gave you this name."

Han Zitong frowned and looked at me: "What does this name mean?"

I said, "Zi Tong, it means the queen."

"What?!"

She was shocked and couldn't believe her ears, and looked at me with wide eyes.

I also looked up at her and said calmly: "The person with the Queen's life is not your sister, but you - Han Zitong."

“…”

"The Han family has a female general who is in charge of the world, and it is not about her Han Ruoshi, but about you."

“…”

"I think the reason why your parents say those things to you is because your sister is born weak and sickly. If you consider that you have the fate of a queen and only plan for yourself and ignore your sister, she will inevitably suffer a lot of grievances, and may even not survive. Let you take on the responsibility of taking care of your sister. If you really become a queen in the future, your sister will have a good life."

“…”

"They don't tell you, but I hope you don't lose your true intentions."

“…”

"It's a pity that their consideration is for your sister, and your sister... is really just for her."

I said this and stopped because I looked up and saw Han Zitong's face, which was as pale as paper.

She seemed to have experienced a storm inside. Although nothing was revealed on her face, her eyes were completely in chaos.
