Chapter 284 The Days Are Hard
In the front yard, Fang Yuan'er asked weakly, "Is the prince here?"
The heavy rain poured down, soaking Fang Yuaner from head to toe.
The spring rain is not cold, but it is mixed with a chill that penetrates into the body, making me feel like my bones are shivering.
She lowered her head and let the rain pour down on her head, looking extremely miserable.
No matter how gorgeous her clothes were, they would stick to her body and become uncomfortable when wet by the raincoat, which only made her thin figure stand out more.
Qiu Hua, the maidservant beside her, wiped her tears and said distressedly, "Master, please get up first!"
"The prince is not in the front yard at all. He went to Chunshan Courtyard a long time ago and is currently accompanying Concubine Xie."
"You kneel here, and the prince doesn't feel any pity for you. I'm afraid Concubine Xie will take the opportunity to slander you, and then the prince will be even more angry with you..."
Fang Yuan'er didn't get up. Although she looked disheveled, she had gotten rid of her restlessness.
"No, you don't understand."
"Xie Run always pretends to be virtuous in front of the prince, pretending to be indifferent to worldly affairs. She would not and would not dare to say anything bad about me."
Once you say something divisive, it will happen a second time, a third time, or even countless times.
King Jing is not a fool.
He favored Xie Run, who was law-abiding and non-confrontational. Once Xie Run developed desires and selfish motives, King Jing would gradually distance himself from her.
Because she knew this clearly, Fang Yuaner was not afraid of Xie Run instigating anything behind her back.
If Xie Run did it, he would be courting death.
Fang Yuaner: "I'm not afraid of anyone instigating anything, I'm just afraid that the prince will feel alienated from me..."
Now that King Jing has been named the Crown Prince, he will soon be enthroned and move into the Eastern Palace.
But Fang Yuan'er had the script in her hand and knew that the emperor had fallen ill just as in the original script, and would then fall seriously ill and almost die, so she wrote an edict to pass on the throne.
Prince Jing never entered the Eastern Palace, but became emperor directly.
She planned every step and put in countless efforts, just waiting for King Jing to become emperor so that she could get a high position and pave the way for becoming queen in the future.
If she had created a barrier in King Jing's heart before he ascended the throne, how could she have ascended to a high position in the future?
"I was foolish this time. I was tricked by that bitch Wan Linlang. My Qiong'er..."
When talking about her son, Fang Yuaner raised her hand to cover her panicked chest, then sat down on the ground with her body soft, her heart aching.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this. It shouldn't be like this..."
Fang Yuaner's tears couldn't help but fall, mixing with the rain and flowing down.
Although she valued power and status, she naturally loved the child she had carried for seven months and risked her life to give birth to.
Before leaving the mansion, she knew that there would be this disaster in Prince Jing's mansion.
This happened in the palace in the original plot. The guards broke in and scared Fang Yuaner's son.
The Third Young Master was also left with sequelae of shock, which later became a knot in Fang Yuaner's heart.
It also gave the Third Young Master an additional weakness in the fight for the throne.
At that time, Concubine Han was still alive and had given birth to the fourth prince, but she happened to fall ill.
The Imperial Guards broke into Prince Jing's mansion and searched it, disturbing all the women in the mansion. As a result, Han Shiqi's fourth son was killed, causing Han Shiqi's status to plummet.
Of course, there may be other people involved.
But since Fang Yuaner already knew the script, how could she not do something just in case?
Fang Yuaner had arranged everything before leaving home.
She only asked Qiuxiang to protect Xiao Qiong and keep her in her own yard.
Songyayuan was carefully managed by her, and the whole courtyard was filled with her own people.
Neither Xie Run nor Concubine Sun can interfere in the mansion.
When Fang Yuan'er was the housekeeper, she specially transferred a greedy old woman to guard the east corner gate.
Just wait for trouble to happen in the mansion in the future, and Qiuxiang will quietly take the child and leave from the east corner gate to avoid a disaster.
Who could have expected that King Jing gave his private order to Xie Run, and asked Guard Jin to follow Xie Run's instructions, and stopped the Imperial Guards at the critical moment, thus ensuring the safety of the palace.
When Prince An's men saw that they could not break into Prince Jing's palace, they sent people to guard the four corner gates, waiting to capture anyone who came out and take them hostage.
Qiuxiang and Qiong'er never returned.
Fang Yuaner almost fainted when she suddenly heard the bad news.
When King Jing heard the news of King An's rebellion, he immediately took the Yan family army and rushed back to the capital overnight.
She arrived half a day late.
After returning home, she was furious and suspected that Qiong'er's death was related to Xie Run. She also wanted to take the opportunity to make a scene in Qingsong Courtyard, preferably to stir up some trouble.
Later he was forcibly sent back to Songyayuan.
King Jing is here.
Before Fang Yuan'er could even cry, King Jing said coldly, "Since you have the ability to predict the future through dreams, why couldn't you predict the disaster that would come to the palace?"
"Or perhaps you had anticipated this and therefore instructed your maid to leave through the east corner gate?"
When Fang Yuan'er heard King Jing's words, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.
She didn't know how to answer.
If the answer to the prophecy came but she didn't tell King Jing in advance, wouldn't it expose her selfish motives, that she wanted to bring disaster to the palace, and that she had arranged for the maids and servants to send Qiong'er away to avoid disaster?
If the answer is not predicted...will King Jing believe it?
Fang Yuaner shuddered suddenly, and suddenly realized that Wan Linlang had cheated her more than once before he died!
Before Wan Linlang died, he must have told King Jing about the war in his palace!
If Wan Linlang could have predicted this and told King Jing in advance, but she didn’t say it...what would King Jing think of her?
Fang Yuan'er tried to explain to King Jing at the time: "I am incompetent and did not dream of this."
"Qiuxiang took Qiong'er away from home for no reason. How could I have known about this while I was far away in Qiangwu?"
"Losing Qiong'er is like being pierced by thousands of arrows, Your Majesty..."
Before she could explain further, King Jing said, "The servants in Songyayuan are all loyal to you, but the gatekeeper only cares about money."
"You paid more than a small amount of money to bribe her."
Fang Yuan'er couldn't help but shiver when she was stared at by King Jing's overly dark eyes.
King Jing knows everything!
She subconsciously begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I really don't know..."
King Jing didn't even bother to listen to her explanation and turned around and left Songyayuan.
The man's deep and low-pitched voice fell into my ears.
"If Qiong'er is alright, I will not argue with you because of our long-standing friendship."
"If something happens to Qiong'er..."
King Jing did not say how to deal with Fang Yuaner, but it was precisely because of this that Fang Yuaner was particularly afraid.
Fang Yuan'er was drenched by the rain and felt cold all over.
"I only wish the prince would punish me severely, whether it's with a stick or by being demoted... As long as I accept the punishment, this matter will be over, and I can rise again in the future."
"But the prince hasn't punished me yet. I'm uneasy. Life is so hard to bear..."
Fang Yuan'er clenched her fists. How could she not hate King Jing when she thought that he was currently accompanying Xie Run and his mother in Chunshan Courtyard?
