Chapter 616 You don’t think I’m your sister, do you?
"You all stand down." Ximen Jingxuan and the palace guards ordered.
The people surrounding Yi Yao took a few steps back to make way for a larger space.
During the fight, Yi Yao had already thrown off the ill-fitting gray cloth shirt, and a lot of red plum petals fell on her long skirt.
The winter night was very long, and the servants in charge of holding the lanterns around them did not forget to hold up the lanterns in their hands, so although the courtyard was not brightly lit, the general brightness was sufficient.
Ximen Jingxuan walked to Yi Yao, stood still, and stared at that face. It seemed that besides the fact that she had impersonated Lin Xiner, there was something more.
Except for Lin Xiner and Wu Mei, he has never paid close attention to other women who have nothing to do with him, including Yi Yao. He has not paid special attention to her since he knew that she was a fake.
"Your Highness, why are you staring at me like this? I'm not Xin'er, let alone your Mrs. Mei." Yi Yao glanced sideways at Ximen Jingxuan and snorted coldly.
He also said that the omnipotent Prince Xuan could be poisoned by a woman with no skills. It is really ridiculous...and hateful!
But no one is perfect, and everyone will make mistakes sometimes. He and Xin'er were destined, but she couldn't say anything.
Just like she has been holding back, but can't hold it in completely, and thinks of Ximenche from time to time?
Ximen Jingxuan saw clearly the sarcastic anger and helplessness in Yiyao's eyes.
"Where are you from and how did you enter Shuiyue Palace?"
Ximen Jingxuan's question surprised Yi Yao. He didn't seem to care about her disrespect, and he asked about her background.
After asking, Ximen Jingxuan regretted it. Since Lin Xiner once told him that his sister was still alive, didn't he find anything from Yi Yao?
The wild thoughts just now must be unreliable hallucinations.
"Prince Xuan, what do you mean by this? You don't think I am your long-lost sister, do you?"
Yi Yao reacted quickly. She knew that Prince Xuan had a sister. Although she returned to Shuiyue Holy Palace late that day, she also got what Zheng Xianlun had said from the mouth of the fake shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower.
The shopkeeper followed the disciples to search for the palace master, and there has been no news yet, but Yi Yao has not forgotten what he said.
Hearing Yi Yao's rhetorical question, Ximen Jingxuan thought that he was really overthinking.
If Yi Yao can ask this question, she must understand her own life experience.
"My parents were traveling merchants. They both died at the hands of bandits in the mountains. I saw it with my own eyes. They were later rescued by the Lord of Shuiyue Palace. It's that simple and has nothing to do with your royal family." Yi Yao said no.
Knowing why, even though he disliked Ximen Jingxuan, he still gave a brief summary of his life experience.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want her blood to be related to the royal family.
Although he thought this was impossible and she would not be a little princess at all, Ximen Jingxuan's suspicion was ridiculous, but after asking the question, he answered Ximen Jingxuan's question seriously.
"If the prince is interested, I will take the prince to see the tombs of my parents and my surviving relatives." Yi Yao did not forget to add in the end.
"You talk too much." Ximen Jingxuan was no longer interested in Yi Yao's life experience, "I really should ask you to stay in the palace for a few days to see how Lin Xiner will take responsibility for what you did today!
"
Just when Ximen Jingxuan was about to attack Yi Yao personally, a strong wind broke through the night and swept towards the Plum Blossom Court.
Several lanterns were blown out by the wind, and the courtyard suddenly became dark. Only the candles in the house were swaying feebly.
Good opportunity!
Yi Yao planned to take advantage of the chaos and rush into the house to assassinate Mrs. Mei again.
However, a strong wind swept by, and a figure grabbed Yi Yao while fighting with Ximen Jingxuan who was on guard. The guards in the palace had already targeted this uninvited guest based on his movements.
"Follow me!" The person who came here didn't want to fight, and pulled Yiyao and rushed out.
Yi Yao already knew that it was Huangfu Yanchong who came to save her, so she did not refuse and followed Huangfu Yanchong to move out.
Huangfu Yanchong was able to get rid of the palace guards, but he could not easily get rid of Ximen Jingxuan.
Relying on the profound shadow-breaking skill, Ximen Jingxuan blocked Huangfu Yanchong's path in the blink of an eye. The three of them stood on the roof, looking at each other in the sky.
"Xin'er...is she okay?"
Ximen Jingxuan moved his dry lips and asked a broken question with difficulty.
"Can she be okay?" Yi Yao asked first.
"I know." Ximen Jingxuan said in a deep voice. The sky was dark and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
He was just guessing Lin Xiner's mood from the perspective of a bystander. She must have been in a bad mood when she left in pain that night.
He should care about her. He also tried to ask Huangfu Yanchong about her, but the words he said were so boring and boring, which even made him feel a strong sense of betrayal. Who did he betray?
Ximen Jingxuan glanced sideways at the candlelit room, where Mrs. Mei's figure leaning against the window was clearly visible.
"You know? What do you know? If you know everything, kill that bitch immediately!" Yi Yao had a rare hot temper.
"I can't do anything," Ximen Jingxuan admitted. Being close to Wu Mei was like facing a loved one. He couldn't do anything.
He also knew that if Wu Mei died at this time, he would be very sad, just like losing a loved one, and he would go crazy with pain.
What he didn't know was whether such madness would leave Liu Fusheng helpless, who had not found a way to rescue him. When targeting the enemy, he must first ensure his own safety.
We can't say that he is selfish, we can only say that he doesn't want to waste his life and destroy himself. Otherwise, what can he give to Lin Xiner?
"If you can't do it, I'll do it!" Yi Yao said unceremoniously.
Isn't it just to kill a person, and die with one knife, or she will strangle that hateful woman to death like Nao Yan did.
"Yiyao!"
If Huangfu Yanchong hadn't been pulling her, Yiyao would have rushed out again.
"Young Master Huangfu!" Yi Yao couldn't get away from Huangfu Yan Chong, so she turned around and said angrily.
"We are not sure of the outcome. Mrs. Mei cannot be killed, and Xin'er will not let you kill her. But -" Huangfu Yanchong said in a deep voice, "After this, it would be good to let her know that someone will really kill her.
.”
Listening to someone discussing the murder of Mrs. Mei in front of him, and trying his best to think about Lin Xiner and face the "killer" in front of him peacefully, Ximen Jingxuan felt that his head began to hurt badly again.
And the conflict between his two thoughts of wanting to kill Wu Mei but not being able to kill her was constantly tearing apart in his body.
"ah--"
Finally, Ximen Jingxuan couldn't help holding his head and roaring again.
"Let's go."
When something strange happened to Ximen Jingxuan, Huangfu Yanchong took Yi Yao and left quickly.
The guards of the palace looked up from the bottom to the roof, and saw that their master suddenly seemed to be attacked by something, and they all became nervous.
Yang Chen didn't care about Huangfu Yanchong and Yi Yao leaving, and hurriedly jumped to the roof.
