Chapter 39 Min Yucheng Climbs Over the Wall
Looking at Xianxian's resolute back, Min Ning let his hands clench into fists under his sleeves and suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
Yier, I will definitely clear you of the charges and bring you out in a grand manner.
Originally, Xianxian only wanted to go to the cold palace alone, but Zhenzhu knelt in front of her.
"Mother...Miss, even if you are abolished and no longer the Zhaopin, I am still willing to acknowledge you as my master and only want to follow you for the rest of my life!"
Zhenzhu's family members had passed away, and she entered the palace hoping to make a living, but she never expected that Xianxian would treat her so kindly.
This made Zhenzhu feel valued, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would be loyal to Xianxian for the rest of her life.
Looking at the loyal Zhenzhu in front of her, Xianxian felt very relieved.
But she sighed and said, "It's not easy to live in the cold palace. Life will only become more impoverished. His Majesty still feels a little guilty towards me. I will ask Kang Fushou to arrange a good job for you so that you don't have to suffer with me."
Unexpectedly, Xianxian is still planning for herself. Zhenzhu shook her head vigorously.
Even though Pearl had been in the palace for many years, she was only a teenager.
"I don't want it, Miss, please don't chase me away."
"Okay, then I will take you with me. I will never let you down in this life."
The cold palace is locked and the dust has settled.
Xianxian stood in the yard feeling a little melancholy. Zhenzhu, who was standing beside her, reacted quickly and went into the house to help Xianxian clean up the room.
Fortunately, although Min Ning sent Xianxian to the cold palace, he did not restrict what she could bring with her. Xianxian took her own money and beloved things with her, and did not take anything else.
Xianxian gently stroked the jade butterfly hairpin on her hair, and there was a hint of tenderness in her beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
When Min Yucheng learned that Xianxian had been deposed and sent to the cold palace, he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Mother, how could Concubine Zhao harm Concubine Wang? Did Father make a mistake?"
Thinking of that gentle woman, even if she has a bit of a temper, she will never hurt anyone.
Concubine Quan sighed and shook her head, "Who knows? Even if Concubine Zhao didn't harm anyone, I'm afraid she won't be able to turn things around in the future. It seems that she has given up on your father completely."
"Your grandmother has taken action this time, using three lives to frame her. Even if Concubine Zhao is truly innocent, she cannot stand such dirty water."
When Min Yucheng learned what happened today, he felt even more distressed for Xianxian who was isolated and helpless.
Therefore, after he finished his greeting, he could not wait to run towards the cold palace. There had been many disturbances in the palace these days, so naturally no one noticed Min Yucheng's actions.
What's more, Min Yucheng was very smart and knew to change into eunuch's clothes.
When Xianxian saw Min Yucheng climbing over the wall into the cold palace, she was still a little slow to react.
Min Yucheng has a handsome face, but he acts like a flower thief.
"Empress Zhao."
Hearing Min Yucheng addressing her, Xianxian smiled bitterly and corrected, "Second Prince, I am no longer Zhaopin, but the sinner He Nianyi."
He straightened his clothes gracefully, but his fair face was covered with dirt. Even so, he still looked dazzlingly handsome.
"Don't be sad, Nianyi. Father has no other choice. Believe me, one day you will be able to leave the cold palace."
At that moment, Xianxian saw a brilliant light appearing on Min Yucheng's body. Compared with Xilinchun, he seemed more saintly.
Xianxian changed out of her silk and satin clothes and dressed more simply. She only had a rain butterfly hairpin in her hair, a jade pendant on her earlobe, and a light blue long skirt without any decoration. A criminal could not dress extravagantly.
She lowered her eyes slightly, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry, but Min Yucheng couldn't help feeling distressed, because her figure was too frail, as if a gust of wind could carry her away.
At this moment, Min Yucheng felt a little resentful towards Min Ning. Why didn't he protect her? She had done nothing, but she had to bear all the bad credit.
"Second Prince, I brought your painting with me. It would be too dusty for such a good painting to be left in the cold palace. Why don't you take it back with you?"
Xianxian took out the scroll from the bundle beside her and looked at Min Yucheng. It could be seen that she cherished this scroll very much because it was wrapped in beautiful brocade.
"I have already given it to you. It is your painting of boats and mountains. Why do you want to give it to me?"
Min Yucheng didn't answer, but just looked at Xianxian gently, which made Xianxian blush and bite her lower lip lightly.
This Min Yucheng is indeed a good-looking man. No matter how many times one sees it, Xianxian still sighs with admiration.
Nuwa was indeed biased when she created human beings.
In fact, Zhenzhu had already seen Min Yucheng, but when she saw him talking to Xianxian, she hid in the room to pack her things.
No matter what her master did, she would neither listen nor watch nor say a word.
Min Yucheng took a look around the cold palace and felt it was desolate and lonely. He couldn't help but feel even more distressed for Xianxian.
"This cold palace is boring. Next time I will bring you a gift. It will definitely help you relieve your boredom."
Xianxian bowed without refusing, "Thank you, Second Prince."
Although she was wearing the most ordinary eunuch's clothes, she still looked like a pearl that could not hide the glow of the sunset.
"How is Second Prince's hand?"
Perhaps it was too quiet, Xianxian took the initiative to find a topic to ask.
Min Yucheng raised the back of his hand and placed it in front of Xianxian, with some faint marks still left on it.
"It's better now. It doesn't hurt as much, but there are still some marks."
There was an obvious light red mark on the back of her jade-white hand, which must be the mark left by a burn.
Xianxian took out a bottle of ointment from her bag, opened the lid, dipped her fingers in the ointment, and gently rubbed it on the red marks.
The distance between the two was only a fist's length, and Min Yucheng could see the slender and smooth face.
The familiar sweet fragrance was refreshing and made his face slightly blush, but his eyes were still on her beautiful face.
The countless encounters in the dream made Min Yucheng's breathing become heavy and disordered.
At this time, her delicate and soft voice sounded, "The Second Prince is a good man. I only have this bottle of ointment now, which is the best. I hope it can remove the red marks of the Second Prince."
Xianxian lifted up the back of Min Yucheng's hand with her hand, and after applying the ointment, she lowered her head and blew it gently.
The icy cool feeling made Min Yucheng's heart tremble, and when he came to his senses, his voice was unusually soft.
"Thank you, Nian Yi."
Faced with Xianxian's gentle treatment, Min Yucheng felt like his heart was about to melt.
He didn't know what he was thinking about when he asked, "By the way, did you become father's concubine because you had no choice?"
The sudden question caused a hint of surprise to flash in Xianxian's eyes.
"Why are you asking me that? But do you know anything?"
She didn't choose to hide it.
Min Yucheng smiled and evaded the question, "I found out by accident."
Xianxian put down the ointment and nodded gently, "I became your majesty's concubine to save the lives of my father and my friend. Now that my father has left the palace safely and my friend is still alive and well, it doesn't matter whether there is Zhaopin in the palace or not."
There was relief in her voice, as if she had severed the ties of love.
"I have already sent some of my daily salary to my father, hoping that he can live a good life after receiving it."
Looking at the tenderness in Xianxian's eyes, Min Yucheng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
Ever since he heard the conversation between Xilinchun and An Yixue last time, he sent someone to investigate the details after leaving the palace.
The news that He's father had died was accurate, but it was obvious that Xianxian knew nothing about it.
At this time, Xianxian said to Min Yucheng, "My real name is He Nianyi, and my nickname is Xianxian. You can call me Xianxian in the future. Others don't know my nickname, so even if someone hears it, I won't be afraid of causing trouble for you."
"Xianxian?"
Min Yucheng couldn't help but murmur softly, but then he thought of what he had learned, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes.
Seeing that Xianxian has let go of everything in the past, I might as well let her still have a little thought about He's father.
Life in the palace is already dull and boring. If you don't even have that last hope, then living would be nothing but endless despair.
