Chapter 39 The princess who died in the secret room (4)]
Fangqing gave a few instructions and hurriedly left the inner hall. Meng Hui looked at her back and signaled that Chenxiang and Zitan were standing not far away, and went forward and sat down next to Liangfei.
Liang Fei's eyes were inactive, her hair was mostly white, not only because she was not clear about her consciousness, but also looked a little dull.
"Qinghe, you have always been able to speak to Pingyang. You should help your aunt persuade her so that she will not be angry with Zhao'er."
Sun Yian disliked Sun Zhao, the younger brother. Although he didn't tell anyone about it, Sun Youyi was more or less clear. In the past, Liang Fei often said this, and Meng Hui could only respond vaguely: "Yes, I will persuade her."
Since Sun Zhao was born, Liang Fei's attention has been on him, and she has ignored Sun Yian, who was favored by the past. This is one of the reasons for the discord between brothers and sisters, but not the most important reason.
The two of them were completely unfamiliar because of something more than ten years ago.
*
That year, Sun Yian was seven years old, Sun Zhao and Sun Youyi were five years old. The three of them played hide-and-seek with a group of brothers and sisters in the palace, but they ended up having a life of life.
Sun Yian had a strange temper at that time, but she was not as withdrawn as she later. Every time she played hide-and-seek, she would stay with Sun Youyi, whisper for a while, waiting for someone to find her.
As for Sun Zhao, he was born to be competitive and would hide in a strange place every time. If the last one was not found, he would be unhappy all day long.
The one who caught people when he was a ghost was the young prince of the Wang family of Pingchuan County, who was born in the same year as Sun Zhao. The young prince was weak and often fell ill, so he rarely went to the palace and did not understand the temper of every brother and sister.
Since he had never played with so many of his peers, he was very happy even if he was a ghost. He counted to one hundred and panting loudly, and began to look for people within the prescribed range, shouting excitedly all the way. Sun Youyi and Sun Yian secretly joked about him.
The place where they play is not dangerous. There are waiters standing every few steps, which can be regarded as almost without dead corners, except where everyone hides.
The little prince ran around excitedly and soon found the first person, Sun Zhao, who hated the most to be a ghost.
But this time, Sun Zhao did not show any special anger. When the game ended, he took the initiative to talk to the young prince for a while, and soon blindfolded his eyes and became a ghost.
Everyone scattered again. Sun Zhao faced a tree and counted one hundred slowly before he dragged his steps to find someone.
He was good at hiding and searching. He found that he was about to get dark when he found the sun set, and then he found everyone except the little prince.
The waiters who guarded these dragon sons and grandsons, when they saw that it was getting late, quickly advised them not to play anymore and began to look for the little prince everywhere.
No matter how much he shouted, the little prince did not respond, and there was no sign of him in the entire range of hide and seek.
The waiters were frightened and quickly informed them, increasing their personnel to search everywhere. It was not until dark that Sun Yian and Sun Youyi fell asleep, and the little prince was found in a hole under a crack, and the body was already cold.
The narrow gap is located between two rockery, covered by dense weeds. The little prince fainted when he stepped on it and suffocated to death in the narrow stone cave.
Children who often play here know that there is danger there and it is not easy to hide. A little further away is that it is outside the specified range and it is easy to commit fouls, so no one has ever gone there.
There is also a dead corner of the waiter's sight, and there is a path full of flowers and plants that can be reached directly. The little prince, who is not familiar with the palace, chose that place.
The precocious Sun Yian immediately suspected Sun Zhao because at the beginning of the game, she and Sun Youyi saw that Sun Zhao was whispering to the young prince.
The death of the young prince did not cause much trouble in the palace. The emperor gave the Prince of Pingchuan, and later the princess passed away and found a good marriage for him.
The game in the palace did not end because of this, but changed to a safer location and added more guards. Since then, Sun Yian refused to participate in it anymore, and his personality has become more introverted and dull.
Except for the emperor and empress, Liangfei and Sun Youyi, she has never given anyone a good face.
*
In fact, Sun Youyi remembered it very clearly. Sun Zhao did talk to the little prince for a while, and she also thought that the hiding place might be what Sun Zhao told the little prince.
But no matter who asked, Sun Youyi would bite her to death and see nothing. She knew very well that sometimes she had to think that she was deaf, blind and dumb, otherwise it would cause trouble to her family...
Concubine Liang suddenly stretched out her dry hand, held Meng Hui's wrist tightly, and lowered her voice: "Zhao'er is for her good, for our good, you must persuade her..."
Meng Hui saw her worried eyes and felt something was wrong. Even though Sun Yian had a fight with Sun Zhao before being killed, Liang Fei's appearance was too horrible.
"Auntie, don't worry. Sister Pingyang and the third emperor are brothers and sisters, so how can there be a hurdle that cannot be overcome?" Meng Hui took the risk and tempted her, but she became even more nervous.
Liang Fei looked strange and opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something when a notification suddenly came from outside, interrupting her words.
"The third prince is here-"
Meng Hui was so angry that she almost took her on the spot. As soon as Sun Zhao came, Liang Fei took her back all of a sudden.
Liang Fei suddenly stood up and seemed very happy, but for some reason, the happiness lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, replaced by fear.
When Sun Zhao walked up to hold Liang Fei's hand, her anxiety gradually disappeared.
Meng Hui stood up to see the greeting. Sun Zhao, who was a little haggard, shouted affectionately: "Sister Qinghe." Then he told her not to be polite and just sit and talk.
Although he was gentle, Meng Hui felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his arrival interrupting Liang Fei's words.
If he could come a few minutes later, maybe Liang Fei would be able to reveal some clues. This is first-hand news that neither Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Justice could get.
Meng Hui, who missed the opportunity, could no longer continue to speak up. In front of Sun Zhao, she did not dare to speak easily.
Sun Zhao said that he was here now, first to visit Liang Fei, and secondly, when he heard that she had arrived, he came over to say hello. He greeted Xian Wang and Xian Wang Fei, and thanked her for entering the palace to accompany Liang Fei.
When they were chatting for a while, the third prince suddenly replied to Meng: "Sister Qinghe, can you send me a ride?"
Meng responded, and asked the careful Chenxiang to take good care of Liangfei, and took Zitan and the maids of Ningxi Palace to send him out.
The two of them remained silent until they walked out of the hall and everyone said respectfully, and the third prince said with a little apology: "My mother is in poor health recently, and her words and deeds are inevitable that she will be different from her usual days. She occasionally has fantasies and slandering words, so please take care of her sister Qinghe."
