Shui Muyao was stunned at first. When she saw Shui Lianyue's face clearly, she was like grabbing a life-saving straw in the deep sea. Regardless of her ragged clothes, she threw herself into Shui Lianyue's arms and started crying. .
"You're finally here, you want to save me, you want to save me, Yue'er."
Shui Lianyue's frown deepened, and she felt the slightly trembling body in her arms. She finally resisted the urge to let her go, raised her hand and patted her back gently, comforting her softly: "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it inside the house, Ang."
Shui Muyao nodded frequently and stood up slowly, but she still couldn't stop sobbing. She turned around and looked at the door, choking and saying, "Come with me to see something first."
After following Shui Muyao into the house, she was greeted by the stench of rotting corpses. She could also vaguely hear the sound of flies flying around. Shui Lianyue held her breath with her luck. This smell made her stomach ache. I writhed for a while and almost vomited.[
Shui Muyao took out the fire stick from her arms and lit the only half candle in the room. The light was weak, the candle made a roaring sound, and the fire light kept jumping, adding a strange atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, she walked towards the corner on the right side of the room. There was a quilt spread out in the corner. She slowly squatted down and pulled open the corner of the quilt. A corpse appeared in front of Shui Lianyue. Because Xia Tian It was hot and the body was covered with quilts, which caused it to begin to rot. As soon as the body was exposed, flies swarmed towards it as if they had seen a delicious meal.
Shui Lianyue took two steps forward but did not walk in. She vaguely saw that the corpse was a man. She suddenly said in a deep voice: "Who is he? Why did you kill him?"
At this time, Shui Muyao had regained her composure, except for the two lines of clear tears still hanging on her cheeks. She looked at the body with disdain and snorted: "On the night of your wedding, when I came out of the palace, I noticed someone. He followed me, but he didn't kill me at that time. Thinking about it now, he must have been waiting for his master's order. It wasn't until dawn that he finally took action. Because he was unfamiliar with Muyan Pavilion, he was knocked unconscious by me. , then I got the chance to kill him first."
"Who sent this person? You don't doubt King Xiang, do you?" Shui Lianyue looked at the corpse again and speculated in her heart that if it were King Xiang's subordinates, no matter how weak their kung fu was, Shui Manyao would not be able to do it easily. kill him.
Shui Muyao stood up, turned to look at Shui Lianyue, frowned and said: "Of course it won't be Prince Xiang. Although he was shocked that night, he also swore to me that he would never let me down. Furthermore, I believe His character, when this person wanted to kill me, he said one word and I knew who it was."
"What did you say?"
"He said that I robbed his master's people."
Listening to Shui Muyao's words, Shui Lianyue was shocked and said in surprise: "You mean, Geng Shaohua"?
"Who else could be there besides her? I didn't expect that she would be so unable to bear it. I didn't expect that she would send people to follow Prince Xiang and monitor his every move at all times. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to follow him from the palace. Someone will be following me when I come out." As soon as he finished speaking, a look of ferocity flashed across Shui Miyao's face.
"So, just now you thought Geng Shaohua sent someone to kill you again, so that's why you took action against me?" Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Muyao, a chill flashed through her phoenix eyes, and she asked in a deep voice.
Shui Muyao shook her head first, then nodded, and sighed softly: "Yes, and no, if the emperor really decrees a marriage between me and Prince Xiang, then Geng Shaohua will definitely not let me go, but right now What I'm more worried about is Shui Mushan, maybe she failed to pay for the murder, so she set her target on me."
"You are already down and out and you are in her way. Why would she kill you?" Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Muyao in confusion and said.
Shui Muyao snorted coldly, glanced at Shui Lianyue, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that now, Prince Xiang would become the object of competition for the daughter of an official family in the capital. Meng Qiuhe has been running around for Shui Mushan's marriage. She most wanted her daughter to be favored by the Crown Prince of Canglan Kingdom or the Second Prince of Dongshuo Kingdom, but she didn't want the threshold to be too high. She didn't even have a chance to meet the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, so she lowered her goal. There are only five princes who can be canonized among the selected princes in the capital: King Yu, King Yue, King Xiang, King Yi, and King Chen. Not to mention that King Yu’s first concubine is you, but just for the other princes, Prince Yue will not be able to accept them. The age of the concubine, and King Xiang already has Han Zixuan, and King Yi and King Chen are about to be in their middle age, so they are interested in accepting a concubine. With Meng Qiuhe's eyes, how can he let his daughter become a concubine?"
"So, Meng Qiuhe lowered his sights again and became a vassal king. But now the only vassal kings in the capital are King Xiang and King Rui. The other vassal kings have not come to the capital. Even if Meng Qiuhe wants to get married, he can't see anyone. King Rui was already over fifty years old, and he already had two grandsons. Only King Xiang was left. That night, her maid saw King Xiang’s carriage taking me to the corner. After returning, Shui Mushan came to Muyan Pavilion to have a meal. Meng Qiuhe has been testing me, and this morning Meng Qiuhe came again with a bunch of maids and women, and humiliated me severely. It seems that this mother and daughter want to get rid of me."
After Shui Lianyue heard Shui Muyao's words, she couldn't help but sigh softly and said lightly: "Not to mention you are relying on me now, even if there are people to protect you, in this huge Shuifu Mansion, if they want to get rid of you, they will definitely not do it. It’s difficult, I’ll kill you first, and then I can find any excuse and no one will doubt me.”
Shui Muyao's eyes turned red again. She took a deep breath and said: "So, I have to leave here. Today you entered the palace. I wonder if you have mentioned this matter to the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"
"I didn't get a chance to speak to the emperor, but I mentioned a few words when I met with the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother didn't agree immediately, I think that if Prince Xiang can come to the palace at this time and ask for a marriage, the matter can be done." , Shui Lianyue said lightly. Due to today's situation, she really couldn't say much. She only mentioned a few words in her words and was taken over by the Queen Mother in an understatement. As for whether it was successful or not, she really didn't know.
After Shui Muyao listened to Shui Lianyue's words, she squatted down in despair, tears falling down. The room was silent, except for the sounds of flies enjoying the food in the corner and the squeaking of a few mice. Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Miyao looked at her and said nothing. Perhaps, she didn't know what to say.[
"You have to worry about Shui Mushan. I will find someone to protect you." After a long time, Shui Lianyue thought of Li Shanshan. Maybe it was time to use her. She looked at Shui Muyao and comforted her.
"None of this is important to me, do you understand?" As soon as Shui Lianyue finished speaking, Shui Muyao stood up immediately, with tears on her face, trying her best to hold back her tears and shouted, "If the matter with Prince Xiang comes to fruition, It's a foregone conclusion, no matter how humiliating and dangerous it is, I can turn it into motivation and work hard for the future. However, the marriage grant makes me feel vaguely uneasy. I'm afraid that everything I do is just my wishful thinking. It’s the bubble of a dream.”
Shui Lianyue was slightly startled by Shui Muyao's drink, "But don't you trust his character? Didn't you say that he will never fail to promise you what he promised to you?"
"How much can you trust a man's words?" Shui Muyao looked at Shui Lianyue with tears in her eyes and shouted disdainfully.
