Chapter 235 235: Sisters recognize each other, what happened back then
His eyes fell on the exposed skin of Murong Qingying's wrist, which was full of bruises. Wen Nianruan's eyes trembled, and he held Murong Qingying's wrist, speaking softly and unconsciously: "Why are you so seriously injured?"
The moment she held her wrist, a warm current flowed through Murong Qingying's heart, but her face was still timid: "I, I accidentally dropped it."
How could he get bruises all over his arm? Wen Nianruan obviously didn't believe it.
Zuo Rong looked at Murong Qingying with a cold look. Didn't he tell her to take care of her injuries? This bitch just didn't listen!
She calmly withdrew her eyes and smiled softly at Wen Nianruan: "When His Highness was in Beihe, he accidentally fell off a horse and his wrist was injured and has not yet fully recovered."
Wen Nianruan ignored her and didn't even look at her, knowing that what she told was a lie.
She asked Murong Qingying: "Is there any medicine?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of scaring the timid Murong Qingying.
"Yes," Murong Qingying nodded softly, stood up and went to get the medicine bottle.
Wen Nianruan took it from her hand, lifted up her sleeves, and looked at the scars all over her arms, silently taking a breath of air.
There were blue marks on the delicate arms, as if they had been whipped.
Wen Nianruan's heart was sore and he felt very uncomfortable.
Wen Nianruan had never felt this way before when facing the sisters Wen Ruchu and Wen Ruchu.
Maybe she and Murong Qingying really have blood thicker than water, and there is a familial bond between them.
Wen Nianruan took the medicine and applied it gently on her arm, chatting casually: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is here to get married. If you have a man you like, you can tell me and I can give you a clue."
".Um."
Murong Qingying bit her red lips and responded, not daring to say anything.
"I wonder if Empress Huimin is well now?"
"The Queen Mother is in good health."
Wen Nianruan chatted casually, and Murong Qingying answered with trepidation. Wen Nianruan knew that she was afraid of Zuo Rong beside her.
And Zuo Rong was always on guard in his heart, fearing that Murong Qingying would say something he shouldn't have said.
After a moment, she issued an order to expel the guests: "Concubine Wen, it's time for Her Royal Highness to rest."
Just as Murong Qingying had applied the medicine, she seemed to accidentally touch Wen Nianruan's palm. Wen Nianruan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tightened his palm, and then his expression remained as usual.
She didn't stay any longer, stood up and said with a smile: "If Your Highness the Crown Princess is bored, you can come to Fuhua Palace to play with me. It's not far away anyway, and I have nothing to do in the palace."
"Okay." Murong Qingying lowered her eyes and responded.
"."
Back at Fuhua Palace, Wen Nianruan released her palm and held a note in her hand, which Murong Qingying took the opportunity to push into her hand.
She unfolded it and looked at it: See you at Fuhua Palace at Haishi.
Wen Nianruan's eyelids trembled slightly, and he clenched the note tightly in his hand.
**
When night fell, Wen Nianruan felt a little uneasy. She didn't even have the appetite to eat dinner. She was thinking about Murong Qingying all the time and didn't know how she would come here soon. Zuo Rong guarded her so strictly.
Wen Nianruan had been guarding the entrance of the palace. At Haishi, a figure quietly entered the palace and landed behind Wen Nianruan. She had not noticed it yet.
"younger sister."
With a gentle call from behind, Wen Nianruan's body stiffened instantly. She turned around, and Murong Qingying was standing behind her.
Wen Nianruan was startled: "You know martial arts?"
Murong Qingying nodded and chuckled: "Aunt Lan taught me since childhood, that is General Xiao."
If she didn't know martial arts, she would have died many times in Beihe Palace.
"So, all your cowardice is just an act?"
"Well, in order to survive under the eyes of the empress."
Wen Nianruan felt sorry for her. It could be seen from the injuries on her body that she was having a difficult time in Beihe Palace.
She smiled and called softly: "Sister."
Both of them knew each other's identity, and there was no barrier between them. Everything fell into place naturally.
Murong Qingying's face was moved, she hugged her gently, and sighed with a smile: "I will no longer be alone in the future."
Wen Nianruan brought her to the bedroom, while Qiu Bai kept watch outside.
Murong Qingying saw the baby in the cradle and was startled: "You already have a child?"
Wen Nianruan shook his head and chuckled: "It's not my child. Her mother-in-law passed away not long ago, and she has a deep friendship with me. The emperor asked the child to be raised with me first."
She stroked her belly and said to Murong Qingying: "But I'm almost done."
Murong Qingying's eyes fell on her belly, and she said with a clear smile: "Congratulations."
Wen Nianruan didn't tell her about the child's life experience. Now was not the time. The most important thing right now was Beihe.
Wen Nianruan asked: "Can you tell me what happened to my mother back then? And what is the use of the Dragon and Phoenix Order?"
"Do you have the Dragon and Phoenix Order in your hand?"
"Um."
Wen Nianruan took out half of the token, and Murong Qingying also took out the other half, and when they were put together, they formed a complete token.
Murong Qingying said: "This dragon and phoenix order symbolizes the identity of the Crown Princess, and can command Beihe's 200,000 cavalry troops. Every late emperor will pass the Dragon and Phoenix Order to the Crown Princess, and she will be in charge of the cavalry army."
Beihe's cavalry army is famous for its ability to defeat hundreds of people and is invincible on the battlefield. Many people are frightened by the cavalry army.
The cavalry army only obeyed the orders of the Dragon and Phoenix Order. All the Dragon and Phoenix Orders in the past were controlled by the crown princess, except for Empress Huimin, because she was not the crown princess at the time, and the throne was not obtained through serious means.
Murong Qingying continued: "Back then, our mother was the crown princess conferred by the late emperor, but Murong Wan was dissatisfied and deceived her behind the scenes, plotting to murder our mother together with our father and concubine."
"Our father's concubine?" Wen Nianruan was stunned, "Who is it?"
"His name is Xuanbi, and he is the most favored imperial husband around Murong Wan. He abandoned his mother and hooked up with Murong Wan, and later he poisoned his mother. After her mother escaped death, she disappeared, and the throne of Beihe fell to Murong Wan.
Xuanbi will follow her openly from then on."
After a pause, Murong Qingying pursed her red lips: "Moreover, Murong Longyue is also his biological child."
Wen Nianruan frowned. This incident was a bit unexpected for her. So, they and Murong Longyue can be considered half-sisters?
What's more, she didn't expect that their father would be such a beast, as good as Wind City.
When Murong Qingying talked about Xuanbi, her tone was calm. She had no relationship with him as a father and daughter.
"When my mother was murdered by two people, I was only about one year old. I was blackmailed and used as a bargaining chip by Xuanbi and Murong Wan. Later, my mother was framed by these two people with a vicious plan. At that time, the two people's goal was not only the throne, but also the money in my mother's hands.
Dragon and Phoenix Order, mother divided the Dragon and Phoenix Order into two, gave one half to Aunt Lan, and kept the other one herself."
"Later, after being tortured by the two people, my mother disappeared. They thought her mother was dead. It wasn't until people around Murong Wan saw you in Xiliang that they suspected that my mother was not dead, so they kept secretly investigating in Xiliang."
