Chapter 571 It’s ridiculous that you miss your sister-in-law
Unlike Prince Rui’s Mansion who was calm about what just happened, everyone in the capital was frightened by this turmoil.
Qi concubine died, even faster than Qi Yansong.
Qi Yansong was imprisoned in the sky prison and was executed after a trial.
And Qi Concubine killed herself with three feet of white silk early the next morning.
With her death, Concubine Hui had no chance to defend herself.
No matter how much she insisted that she had not harmed Queen Xu, the emperor chose not to believe her, demoted her status and banned her.
Some people even speculate that the reason why the emperor did not directly send Concubine Hui to the cold palace was probably because of Chu Lan's face.
The emperor just dealt with people related to the Qi family last year, and the turmoil in the court has just stabilized. It is difficult to move King Jing at this time.
Although he is the emperor, he is often constrained and cannot do things as he pleases. It was not easy to deal with the Qi family last year.
So this time, he only dealt with Concubine Qi and showed mercy to Concubine Hui.
This incident has once again made the already clear and clear situation in the DPRK turbulent again.
The whole capital couldn't help but get their thoughts started again.
Originally, everyone felt that with the downfall of the Qi family, the position of crown prince undoubtedly belonged to King Jing, but now it seems that the matter has not been settled yet.
Concubine Qi and Concubine Hui both harmed Queen Xu, so as far as the emperor was concerned, King Jing and King Yu were almost the same, and no one was more popular with him than the other.
Although King Qin has a tendency to be reused by the emperor, his qualifications are so poor that it is difficult to surpass King Yu and King Jing.

Tianlao.
It was dark everywhere, it was winter, and it was so cold here that my body was shaking.
Zuo Lingyue huddled in the corner.
The sound of footsteps approached, and a tall figure appeared outside the cell.
Through the cold iron cell door, Zuo Lingyue saw the person coming clearly. She was originally weak, but she didn't know where she got the strength to rush to the door.
Looking at the man in front of her who she longed for, Zuo Lingyue's trembling lips seemed to have a thousand words, but they were all stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
Chu Lan looked at Zuo Lingyue with cold eyes. Instead of his usual demure and dignified appearance, he was only left looking embarrassed and pale.
Chu Lan asked: "Why are you doing this? Princess Rui has no enmity with you. Even your interactions are very few. You should have only met a few times."
“That’s right, she and I have probably only met twice from a distance, and we only really talked about her during the Lantern Festival Banquet.” Zuo Lingyue admitted.
“Why on earth did that make you have such vicious thoughts towards her?”
"You asked me why? You actually asked me why? Don't you know why, Your Majesty? Ask yourself, where were you on the wedding night?" Zuo Lingyue laughed angrily, looking at Chu Lan with tears in her eyes Guang, the smile on the corner of his mouth is uglier than crying.
Chu Lan frowned: "You know?"
"If I had a choice, I would rather not know! But I still know! My husband left me on our wedding night to meet his sister-in-law! What a joke is this?"
Zuo Lingyue said with ridicule.
She was mocking Chu Lan and herself.
Chu Lan’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
"It's not that you are ill, but because you have another woman in your heart. You are willing to keep yourself safe for a woman you can't get! I would rather you have a health problem and you are inhumane, and I don't want you to put you to death. Give all your love to others!”
Zuo Lingyue's eyes were full of resentment and anger.Because she loves Chu Lan.
She fell in love with him a long time ago.
Before she was given the marriage as Princess Jing, her heart and eyes were full of him.
She was so happy to be his wife.
She was looking forward to their wedding so much.
However, just because the expectations are high, the pain will be deeper in the end.
Zuo Lingyue asked Chu Lan: "My lord, don't you think you are ridiculous? You stay in the study every night and miss your sister-in-law. Do you think you are keeping your integrity for her?"
Chu Lan did not answer Zuo Lingyue's question directly, but said: "You shouldn't do such a thing. Your resentment comes from me. The person you should hate is me, not her."
“But the person I love is you! What I want is your love, not your life!”
love him.
is the root of everything.
If she can't cut off this source, she can only cut off his thoughts!
Facing Zuo Lingyue's sudden confession, Chu Lan frowned and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't be like this."
"Is there anything that should be done and what shouldn't be done? I am just an insignificant person to you, so why not you, Princess Yu Rui? You don't think you are so important to her, do you? She would rather choose someone who is dying than choose you!" Zuo Lingyue shouted towards Chu Lan.
Chu Lan did not refute. Maybe he knew in his heart that Zuo Lingyue was telling the truth. He was an insignificant person to Wei Qingruo. She had saved him, but she had also saved countless ordinary people. Her caring Not only for her, but also for any refugee on the roadside.
Chu Lan did not stay any longer, he turned and left.
"Chu Lan, you won't get what you want! You won't get what I can't get! You will die the same as me!" Zuo Lingyue shouted heartbreakingly at Chu Lan's back.
Chu Lan’s footsteps stopped.
Zuo Lingyue thought he was going to say something to her, but no, his footsteps started to move again, then drifted away, and finally completely disappeared from her sight.
Zuo Lingyue looked at the empty and dark cell and slumped on the ground helplessly.

In Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Wei Qingwan was happy to receive the news from the palace.
It was Qi's concubine who died, but what she got in exchange was a glimmer of hope for King Yu.
Furthermore, King Yu obviously cannot wear filial piety when Concubine Qi dies, but he must keep his integrity secretly in order to prevent others from thinking that he is ruthless and unjust, so he will not favor anyone again for at least the next six months.
It just so happens that she is pregnant now and cannot serve the prince well.
And it also means that no one else in the palace will be pregnant in a short time.
However, Wei Qingwan only dared to hide this happiness in her heart and did not dare to show it at all.
She used to have two confidants, but now the only person she can trust is herself.
She just needs to protect herself now and give birth to the child in her belly with peace of mind.
Wei Qingwan carefully ate the bird's nests brought by the maid and was about to go back to the bed and lie down for a while.
The maid outside the door came to report: "Hi, Madam, Aunt Cuihe is here."
