Chapter 846 The Princess's Marriage is Mighty and Magnificent
The aloof and arrogant young man finally bent his straight back in front of the charming princess.
Sheng Gui curled up in Xie Lang's arms and blinked silently.
After returning to the palace, she asked her confidant to give Xie Lang a purse and put a lock of her hair in it.
The previous dynasty was treacherous. The prince had no favored mother and no powerful maternal family. Even though he had a noble status, he was regarded as a stumbling block by many people.
Late at night, Sheng Gui received the news that the little prince was poisoned. She crushed the jade comb she used for combing her hair, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
After a while, he calmed himself down and went to visit the prince.
The young boy looked pale. Seeing Sheng Gui coming, he forced himself to smile, "Elder sister."
Sheng Gui stepped forward and held the prince's cold hand, "I'm glad you're okay. I will help you get revenge."
Such a serious matter as poisoning a country's crown prince should be investigated to the end.
After much investigation, the suspicion finally fell on the favorite concubine in the harem. The foolish monarch could not bear to investigate further and hastily concluded the case, even ignoring the fact that his actions would undermine the foundation of the country.
Sheng Gui was sitting in the palace. When she heard the news, her fingers that were drawing her eyebrows paused slightly, and then she continued to draw lightly towards the end of her eyebrows.
A few days later, news came from outside the palace that the fifth prince had accidentally fallen off his horse and had been unable to walk since then.
It seems accidental, but it is actually man-made.
But no matter how the Fifth Prince or the imperial concubine in the palace investigated, they could not find anything on Sheng Gui.
She didn't do anything at all, but just asked her confidant to briefly mention her grievances in front of Xie Lang, and the rest happened naturally.
But when Sheng Gui went to see Luo Feng the next day, he looked at her carefully.
"There's always a bit of murderous intent in your eyes lately." Luo Feng suspected that the fifth prince's fall from his horse had something to do with her, and frowned in worry.
"If the teacher's brothers and sisters were persecuted, the teacher would do the same as me." Sheng Gui smiled calmly.
In fact, at this time, Luo Feng had already realized that Sheng Gui was not the simple girl he originally thought.
However, no matter what Sheng Gui looked like, she was always shining in his eyes.
After watching in silence for a while, Luo Feng sighed in his heart, "No matter what happens, you can tell me."
"Okay, I'll talk to the teacher." The expression on Sheng Gui's face was extremely sincere.
But, it's not just what you hear.
It was midsummer and there was some trouble in the south. Luo Feng had not thought of going there at first, and even thought that Sheng Gui's birthday was coming up soon, so he could ask the emperor to grant them a marriage.
In the court, Xie Lang, the illegitimate son of the Xie family, suddenly recommended him to go to the south.
Luo Feng felt vaguely surprised, but didn't think too much about it.
When he arrived there, he heard the news that Sheng Gui was married to Xie Yu, the eldest son of the Xie family.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a bolt from the blue. Luo Feng felt that he had never been so miserable in the first twenty years of his life.
He always thought that he and Sheng Gui had a tacit understanding.
Xie Yu is a gentle man like jade. He marries the princess according to the assigned marriage and treats Sheng Gui wholeheartedly after marriage.
Also because of Sheng Gui, the neglected prince in the Eastern Palace was treated with special courtesy.
One sunny afternoon, Sheng Gui was alone and blocked by Xie Lang behind the rockery in the garden.
The cold and silent young man lowered his head and looked at her intently.
He squeezed out words one by one from between his lips and teeth, "What do you want?"
"What can I do?"
Sheng Gui stared at Xie Lang steadily, her beautiful and lively eyes not blinking at all. Her eyes were clearly filled with tears, but they refused to fall.
"Everyone outside thinks that the princess is noble, but I am walking on thin ice in the palace. What can I decide on my own?"
The stubborn tone, every word was like a needle piercing Xie Lang's heart.
Later, Sheng Gui was diagnosed with pregnancy by the imperial physician.
The Xie family was very happy from top to bottom, after all, Xie Yu was the future head of the family. After he married Sheng Gui, he had no concubines, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to Sheng Gui leaving blood for the Xie family.
Sheng Gui's confidant who knew the inside story was worried, "Your Highness..."
Sheng Gui lost a lot of weight after she became pregnant, and there was always a gentle smile on her lips. When she saw her confidant frowning with worry, she just smiled indifferently and gently brushed her lower abdomen with her slender fingers.
"This child... is good enough for the crown prince to secure his throne."
She had good intentions, but unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and she did not survive the process of giving birth.
But it's worth it.
With the protection of the Xie family and Luo Feng, the prince has no worries about his future.
Until the last moment when he closed his eyes on that stormy night, Sheng Gui only had his brother and sister-in-law in his heart.
