After finishing speaking, the man walked over, opened the wooden box and placed it on the table in a conspicuous place. Her eyes were extremely bright. Since Sheng Feifei wanted to frame Su Dai, it would be a good idea to ask Yun Biqing to be the scapegoat.
After a while, the figure of the man disappeared.
The next day, two things happened.
One thing that happened in the world spread throughout Kyoto overnight, that is, the Baisha sect not far from the capital was wiped out overnight. This happened when a disciple of the Baisha sect went down the mountain to do something.
Liang returned to the sect, but unexpectedly he saw a river of blood inside the sect, leaving no one alive, and the leader of the Baisha sect looked horrifying, killing him with one palm.
The disciple was so frightened that he rushed to Kyoto to report the case. The incident spread, making people in Kyoto panic. The Baisha sect was considered powerful in the world, but it was also silenced overnight.
, many people are guessing who is the one who did this.
Another incident was that Grandma Zhang's stolen things came to light.
In the main hall, Wen Yimo's face was calm. He was wearing a white robe with python patterns. His brown eyes were slightly raised and he stared at Nanny Zhang for a while before taking a sip of tea.
Everyone was waiting for Wen Yimo to speak. Even Aunt Zhang started to tremble and did not dare to raise her head to look at Wen Yimo.
"Ximei, tell me what happened again." Wen Yimo put down the white porcelain tea cup with a calm expression.
The maid named Ximei glanced at Nanny Zhang and then said slowly: "Today, as usual, I went to ask Nanny Zhang to get up. After pushing the door and going in, I saw something on the table. I walked closer to take a look.
See a slightly glowing... night pearl..."
"You're lying! Why is this thing in my room!" Nanny Zhang yelled, her fierce eyes almost killing Ximei.
Ximei's body trembled, her little face was as white as snow. She was used to being yelled at by Aunt Zhang, and she didn't dare to speak anymore at this time. And she was also serving Yun Biqing. If she continued to speak, Yun
Bi Qing will definitely torture herself to death in the future, but...this incident happened again...
Wen Yimo pursed his thin lips, looking a little impatient, and said: "Ximei, continue."
"My servant knew that Miss Sheng lost a night pearl yesterday... she couldn't help but screamed. The guards guarding outside the yard heard the scream and thought it was a thief, so they rushed in immediately and saw this scene."
Mei swallowed her saliva, "I really saw that night pearl as soon as I entered. I didn't lie. I know that it was given to Miss Sheng by the Queen. Even if I have ten lives, I don't dare to steal it. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."
ah!"
After listening to Ximei's words, Yun Biqing frowned. Naturally, she couldn't escape the relationship between the night pearl appearing in her peony garden.
"Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts. Ximei is a person without scheming, so I naturally believe her. But Aunt Zhang will not do such a thing. What thief would put his stolen things in a conspicuous place?
"Shang? Someone must have framed this matter and pointed the finger directly at me." Yun Biqing said through gritted teeth. It was hard for her to swallow this breath.
Wen Yimo didn't seem to hear anything. He raised his hand to pick up the tea cup next to the table, skimmed off the tea leaves with a tureen, took a sip of tea, but frowned. He handed the tea cup to a maid: "Tea.
If it's cold, put on something hot."
When Yun Biqing saw that Wen Yimo was still in the mood to drink tea, she couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I must get justice for this matter. Someone must want me to take the blame."
"Okay, let's let this matter go. It's pointless to continue to struggle." Wen Yimo said, "Sending Ye Mingzhu back to the prime minister's house is an explanation to Miss Sheng."
Yun Biqing opened her eyes wide and was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, this matter is clearly..."
"Someone picked up the Night Pearl, but no one stole it." Wen Yimo said lightly. He glanced at Yun Biqing, his expression unquestionable.
No matter how many complaints Yun Biqing had in her heart, she didn't dare to say them out at this time. Su Dai was clearly the one who blamed her for this incident. Now Wen Yimo is even thinking about covering up the matter and letting Su Dai go.
There was a way out, how could she not hate it in her heart.
Wen Yimo stood up, his face still indifferent, took the night pearl on the table, and walked out. After walking out of the door, he turned back and said, "As for Su Dai, let her go."
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the warm sunshine shone on Wen Yimo's body. His skin was better than snow, but in the eyes of others, Wen Yimo looked pale, as if he was seriously ill, without any color at all.
It seems that there is a clever and cunning person lurking next to Su Dai, otherwise Ye Mingzhu would not be placed in Grandma Zhang's room. This woman has to be guarded against.
The sky is gradually getting darker, and there is still a large red cloud on the western horizon, but that is also the afterglow of the setting sun, and soon it will be dark again.
There was no sound in the quiet boudoir. Yan Ling's steps were gentle, and she lit the candle with a kindling. The room became brighter, and everything was shrouded in the dim candlelight.
Yan Ling turned her head, looked at Su Dai lying on the bed, and sighed.
Su Dai didn't fall asleep, but she lay there motionless. It had been a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Yan Ling felt guilty, so she walked over with a bowl of rice porridge and said softly: "Miss, why don't you eat it?"
Something."
Su Dai seemed not to hear anything and had no reaction at all.
Yan Ling was a little anxious. It would be very difficult for Su Dai to be world-weary at this time. She had no choice but to say: "Miss, things will get better in the future."
When Su Dai heard this, she smiled bitterly. After a while, she said, "Yan Ling, do you think Sheng Feifei intends to frame me?"
Yan Ling paused. She didn't want to mention it at first, but now that Su Dai mentioned it, she was so annoyed that she even raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth and said: "There are very few people in this world who are kind. Miss, next time
Don't trust someone so easily. But... Sheng Feifei had a good relationship with the lady in the past, but I don't know why this happened this time."
Su Dai's fingers clenched the quilt tightly, and she slowly felt resentful in her heart. Could it be that the women here are as poisonous as snakes and scorpions?
But if you think about it carefully, Sheng Feifei is about to marry the prince. This can be regarded as a marriage with the Su family. Why should she do this?
"Yan Ling, I really don't want to live like this." Su Dai closed her eyes tiredly, her butt still aching faintly. When had she ever suffered like this? If she stayed here any longer, she would probably go crazy, "No
A little bit of self-esteem, why in this era, women live like this..."
There were tears in Yan Ling's eyes. She put down the bowl of rice porridge and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, Miss. Didn't I say that I will protect Miss? In fact, I have already discovered that the luminous pearl is in the cabinet of the dressing table.
So she collected it by herself, thinking that there was no physical evidence, and Sheng Feifei couldn't do anything to the young lady, who knows... After that, the slave girl put it in Grandma Zhang's room again, and the slave girl bribed Ximei, originally thinking of passing the matter off to her.
Aunt Zhang, who knew that the prince would still give up hastily."
Su Dai was also clear about what she discovered later. She glanced at Yan Ling and saw that such a childish face could do such a thing. Her body felt chilly and she couldn't control it.
"Then...you also took the five hundred taels of silver notes from Yao Yue Lou?" Su Dai said quietly.
Yan Ling's expression changed, she lowered her head and could only nod her head: "The slave took it."
Su Dai sighed. She had already thought carefully about it in the dungeon. The girl from Yao Yue Lou would not be so bold, and she did not take it. So Yan Ling was the only one who followed her that day.
"I didn't expect that it would harm the young lady. I will return the favor right now." Yan Ling was a little panicked, fearing that Su Dai would drive her away.
Su Dai, however, stared at the candlestick on the table and raised her eyebrows: "They bet me that I don't need to pay back this small amount of money. You keep it well. Once my injury is healed, we will leave this hellish place."
Yan Ling's eyes widened, and she quickly lowered her voice and asked: "Miss, do you want to go back to Su Mansion...or leave Kyoto?"
Su Dai said firmly: "What's the use of leaving Kyoto and returning to Su Mansion."
"No!" Yan Ling frowned, "If the young lady leaves Kyoto, the Su family will definitely be implicated. The young lady cannot act on her own initiative."
Su Dai bit her lower lip, was she going to be trapped here? If that were the case, it would definitely be more uncomfortable than death.
Suddenly, Yan Ling's expression changed and she quickly stepped aside: "Miss! Be careful!"
Su Dai looked confused. Before she could react, she heard a sound of breaking wind, and then the whole bed shook.
"What happened?" Su Dai asked with lingering fear. She raised her head and saw Yan Ling pulling out a hidden weapon from the beam on the bed, with a note on it.
Yan Ling hurriedly walked out and looked around, not seeing even half a person. It seemed that the person's light attack was extremely high. If she hadn't heard Po Feng's voice, she wouldn't have noticed it.
Back in the room, Su Dai had already taken out the note, spread it out and saw that the handwriting was very vigorous and powerful. Su Dai frowned and looked at it for a long time before she could roughly see the word clearly, and murmured: "Tomorrow night at Haishi
Backyard bamboo forest?”
"Miss, is it signed?" Yan Ling asked urgently.
Su Dai took a closer look and found that apart from these few words, there was nothing else.
"The bamboo forest in the backyard?" Yan Ling thought for a while, "The backyard of Prince Chun's Mansion is indeed a bamboo forest. It seems that I want to invite the young lady there, but I think the young lady should not go there. This may be a trap."
Su Dai glanced at Yan Ling. What Yan Ling said was not unreasonable, but she remembered that a mysterious man said those two words to her on the day she was imprisoned in the woodshed, and she still couldn't let it go.
It seems that Su Dai married Prince Chun just to monitor Wen Yimo, but who was the instigator behind this?
