late night song

Chapter 66
Zhang Mengyi learned that both of her children were harmed by the empress, and frantically wanted to settle the score with her. However, Emperor Ming ordered that no one be allowed to visit, and Fulin Palace was very strict, so she had no choice but to angrily go to the down-and-out Concubine Lan to vent her anger. .

Concubine Lan was imprisoned in her original palace. Zhang Mengyi ignored the emperor's order and ordered someone to kick open the door of Xiangyang Pavilion. She and her confidants searched for the shadow of her enemy in the large but empty palace, and finally found Concubine Lan alone with a calm expression. leaning on the bed in the cabinet.

"Bitch, how dare you go against me and harm my child." Zhang Mengyi rushed into the cabinet, grabbed Concubine Lan, and slapped her with her hand. Unexpectedly, she was choked by the wrist.

"I didn't do it." Concubine Lan pushed her away with one hand, with a cold look on her face. She just said goodbye and didn't bother to say anything else to her.

"You! Even if you are not the mastermind, you are still an accomplice! Come on, give me a beating!"

With an order, several internal prisoners filed in with whips in hand.

With a whoosh, the whip unfolded, and it was about to fall on Concubine Lan unscrupulously.

Unexpectedly, she actually caught the whip's tongue firmly with both hands, with a murderous look on her face. She opened and relaxed, and all the internal prisoners fell to the ground.

"You know martial arts?"

Zhang Mengyi was shocked when she thought that Concubine Lan, who always liked to pretend to be weak and inviting favors, was hiding so deeply, and then asked nervously: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am."

Seeing her being so oblivious, Concubine Lan smiled contemptuously and responded lightly: "The important thing is that you don't forget your identity."

"You all go down!"

Zhang Mengyi couldn't help but become suspicious when she heard what she said. She retreated from all the confidants around her with a guilty conscience. After they all exited the palace and closed the door, she pointed directly at the familiar but unfamiliar woman in front of her and continued. Asked: "What do you mean? It's so difficult that... you are also his?"

Concubine Lan was noncommittal. Zhang Mengyi's heart was turbulent and her hands were trembling. But more importantly, she felt loss and despair after a sudden realization. She murmured: "How could it be that you are also his, and he still doesn't believe me?! Why?"

"If you hadn't forgotten your duty, you wouldn't have rushed to me today to ask questions. It seems that the Lord is right to be worried."

Although Concubine Lan did not admit it directly, her words were enough for Zhang Mengyi to understand that she, like her, was Qi Ji's spy in the palace.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't betray him." Zhang Mengyi denied it, but her eyes evaded and her hands trembled.

Concubine Lan snorted and said nothing, laughing at Zhang Mengyi's duplicity.

"Then what's the difference between you and me? We're both scheming for our own organizations and competing for favor and love." Zhang Mengyi was dissatisfied with Concubine Lan's ridicule, and retorted by referring to others.

"I'm different from you. I entered the palace for revenge, not for the ridiculous love between children." Concubine Lan laughed at her stupidity and told her the truth.

"Revenge?" Zhang Mengyi was puzzled.

"My sister is the female official close to Concubine Jing. When Concubine Jing died of illness, my sister was just 27 years old. According to the convention, she can leave the palace and go home in another year. Who expected that she was pardoned and left the palace early? Haha, but this How can there be such a good thing in the world! As soon as my sister stepped into the door, the Queen, the poisonous woman, ordered the men in black to rush in and kill all the more than ten members of my family. If I hadn't escaped by running to the neighbor's house because of my gluttony, A disaster, otherwise our whole family will really die inexplicably."

Lan Fei recalled the past with misty eyes: "In the next eight years, I was homeless, sold into a troupe, made a living by singing, and suffered bullying. Later, I was fortunate enough to be rescued by someone who taught me martial arts to protect myself. He also told me the truth about what happened back then. Send me into the palace to search for evidence of the Queen’s crime.”

"Did he save you?" Zhang Mengyi was very concerned about this.Back then, King Qin met her for the first time in Tongcheng and followed her for several days before they got to know each other. That man had put a lot of thought into her, so she was willing to sacrifice herself for him.

Over the years, King Qin had treated her especially with all the thoughts in her heart. If even this was her delusion, then all her efforts would really be a big joke.

"You actually care about this? Haha."

Concubine Lan smiled in disbelief. She looked at Zhang Mengyi's complicated expression and said frankly: "Of course he didn't save me. I only found out about him when Princess Nanxi came to the palace to find me after the invasion of Xirong." He is my lord."

"Princess Nanxi?" Zhang Mengyi said silently, recalling all the previous signs, with a look of disappointment on his face, "He still can't trust me after all."

"I'm curious, why do you have second thoughts about him when you are in love with him?" As a woman, Concubine Lan can understand her current mood, but she doesn't understand Zhang Mengyi's betrayal.

"From the moment I entered this palace, I knew that I would never be able to stand side by side with him in this life." At this point, Zhang Mengyi had to admit the fact that she had always denied, but her lost look was still beautiful.

"Is that why you forced yourself to take medicine to get pregnant?"

Concubine Lan seemed to understand why after Zhang Mengyi became pregnant for the second time, Princess Nanxi came to the palace and ordered her to take the initiative to serve the queen and do her best to gain Emperor Ming's favor. Why did she repeatedly ask and warn her not to do it? Taking the forbidden drug Qiushi Pill may lead to pregnancy.

In this way, because he was old and had hidden diseases, Emperor Ming was pregnant with Zhang Mengyi twice when he was old. It was indeed her extraordinary means that aroused the suspicion of King Qin.

"I just made more plans for myself. Even if I am wrong, the child is innocent." Zhang Mengyi couldn't help crying when she thought of her two unborn children, one she didn't want and the other she wanted. .

"Qiu Guo Wan is a desperate prescription, not to mention hurting the mother and child. Even if the child is successfully born, it is not sure whether it can be raised until the age of hair. In the end, you are only doing it for yourself."

Although Concubine Lan doesn't like the concubine's arrogant character, her current fate is pitiful.

"I walk my own path, and there is no need for you to make irresponsible remarks!" Zhang Mengyi felt resentful and angry when someone exposed her immediately, "Why did I lose my child? Tell me!"

"It was the Queen who ordered me to put the kite on the day when the battle report from the front line was sent to the palace. The purpose was to lure you out of the palace, and at the same time, I had tampered with the wheels of the car you were traveling on. I only knew that my hairpin was intact while praying for blessings. As for why you stepped on the Dongzhu from my hairpin and fell down the steps, I don’t know.”

"Dare you swear?"

According to Fuxiang's confession, the queen originally planned to order someone to tamper with the car on the way back, but later she fell down the steps and the original plan came to nothing.Concubine Lan's words corresponded exactly to this, so Zhang Mengyi had to believe this fact, but he couldn't help but question her like this.

"It's not necessary. Believe it or not, your child has been expected to be crown prince before he was born and has become the target of public criticism. Many pairs of eyes are staring at him. Even if the queen does not take action, there will be others who are destined to not be able to come to this world safely."

What Lan Fei said was pertinent and realistic, but Zhang Mengyi remained silent and regretful.

She should have understood this truth earlier, but desire overwhelmed her reason and blinded her eyes.In such a bloodthirsty imperial city, she had no foundation at all, and she could only hope to occupy a place based on a few years of honor. In the final analysis, it was her own stupidity that cost her two children their lives.

"Shut up! You'd better think about your own fate." Even so, Zhang Mengyi still refused to give in. After saying this, she angrily walked away.

Concubine Lan looked at Zhang Mengyi's pink skirt disappearing into her eclipsed Xiangyang Pavilion, and murmured to herself: "Sister, she's not dead yet, but she's not far away."
