"Master, something happened in the Imperial City!" Ben Lei hesitated for a moment before sending the note in his hand to Yao Mowan.
When she saw clearly what was written on the note, Yao Mowan felt her heart stop, her blood all over her body solidified, her tears bursting out like a flood, her body shaking like a fallen leaf, and her heart hurting like a needle prick.
"What happened?" Seeing Yao Mowan's tears welling up, Ye Junqing stood up immediately and walked over. The four words "Liu Xing was killed" on the paper were extremely clear!
"Go back to the imperial city!" Yao Mowan clenched the note tightly without thinking, her choked voice was filled with a bone-crushing chill. Just when Yao Mowan was about to leave, she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and she finally fell into darkness.
.
When Yao Mowan woke up, the group was already on their way back to Chu Palace.
"Empress! You're awake!" Ting Yue wiped her tears at Jizhou Hotel and hurried to the bedside, her voice filled with tears.
"Are I dreaming? Where are Ting Yue and Liu Xing? You call him over, I have something to give you." Yao Mowan stood up in confusion, blinking her slender eyes, looking at Ting Yue expectantly.
"Your Majesty... wake him up!" Ting Yue burst into tears, tears streaming down her face, her hands kept wiping her eyes that were swollen with peach kernels, and she cried so hard that her flowers trembled.
"It's true! I'm so confused! How could I leave Liu Xing alone in the imperial city! It's a hell there! Liu Xing...I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" Yao Mowan burst into tears and tried her best with her hands.
Hitting himself on the head, his voice trembled.
"Empress! Don't be like this. Liu Xing doesn't want to see you like this. It's not your fault!" Ting Yue hurriedly took Yao Mowan's hand and dissuaded her sadly.
At this moment, Ye Junqing walked in with the decoction. When Ting Yue saw it was Ye Junqing, she immediately retreated wiping her tears.
"Mo Wan, drink the medicine first." Looking at Yao Mowan's grief-stricken expression, Ye Junqing's heart seemed to be pinched and hurt. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak. Ye Junqing knew very well that Liu
Wake up to the place in Yao Mowan's heart.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't been careless, Liu Xing wouldn't have died at all! It was me who harmed Liu Xing, and I promised him that I would protect him, but..." Yao Mowan didn't
He paused and shook his head, his tears falling on the brocade quilt like broken beads, soaking a large area.
"Mo Wan, it's not your fault! No one expected such a thing to happen! Don't worry, I have asked Yin Xue to return to the palace first. No matter who harmed Liu Xing, he should pay the price! You have to cheer up
, Liu Xing's revenge is still waiting for you to avenge, so you can't fall!" Ye Junqing touched Yao Mowan's snowy shoulders with both hands, as if to give her endless courage and strength.
"Yes, revenge... I still have revenge to take! Give me the medicine!" The sad face is like the ice that has not melted on the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years. Yao Mowan's desperate eyes gradually become colder, like a sharp knife.
Through everything. Ye Junqing felt sorry for Yao Mowan at this moment. He suddenly realized that Yao Mowan was carrying too many burdens. Those burdens were already weighing her down and she couldn't breathe. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to give those burdens to Yao Mowan.
Carrying the burden off, even just a little bit, will make him feel better.
"Who in the palace dares to attack Liu Xing? Chungui? Impossible, she doesn't have the courage! Ji Concubine? Nor should she. Although she is jealous of me, she is not ready to take risks. Zhou Meiren...
." Yao Mowan's hand holding the porcelain bowl continued to tremble, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the brocade quilt on the couch, seeming to see further through the brocade quilt.
"Mo Wan, don't be like this. Yin Xue has already returned to the imperial city to investigate. As long as we wait for Yin Xue to come back, we will naturally know who committed the murder. It will not be too late to think of countermeasures." Ye Junqing has never been like this for a moment.
Feeling sorry for Yao Mowan, seeing Yao Mowan frowning and racking his brains to meditate, he couldn't do anything but sit like this.
"Is it Ye Hongyi? He found out that I was pretending to be stupid, so he got angry at Liu Xing?" Yao Mowan suddenly raised her eyes and grabbed Ye Junqing with both hands, her eyes full of panic.
"No! Don't think too much. Wait until Yin Xue comes back!"
"No, I can't think about it! As long as I stop, all I can think about is Liu Xing. He is willing to enter the palace for me! Do you know what that means! If it's not Ye Hongyi, who is it? Huan Cai'er?
Impossible, she has no reason... Uh..." Seeing that Yao Mowan was about to collapse, Ye Junqing couldn't help but hit Yao Mowan on the back of the neck.
"Mo Wan, I'm sorry, but other than this, Jun Qing really can't stop you from thinking. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, Jun Qing will be by your side. Your hatred is Jun Qing's hatred, whether it's Liu Xing or Mo Xin
?" Ye Junqing gently placed Yao Mowan on the bed, his deep eyes rolling with intense blackness.
Five days later, when Yin Xue appeared at Pingyang Hotel, Yao Mowan, who was in a daze on the couch, suddenly stood up and rushed down to grab Yin Xue.
"Who is it?" Bingzhe's voice was filled with weakness that could not be concealed. Since knowing that Liu Xing was killed, Yao Mowan has not had a good meal and is now extremely haggard.
"Returning to the master, it was a woman named Yingli. After his subordinates returned to Chu Palace, they found that this woman could enter and exit any place in the palace at will, even Guanju Palace and Longqian Palace. She could enter and exit as if no one was around. At that time.
.....It was because Liu Xing stopped that woman from searching the queen's inner room, and she stabbed her to death with a sword." Yin Xue's voice was choked with sobs, and a glint flashed through her eyes.
Her heart hurt so much, as if she was thrown into a bush of thorns, and the thorns pierced her hard, leaving her completely injured. Even though she was mentally prepared, Yao Mowan couldn't help but fall to the ground, crying.
My vision was blurred.
"Master!" Yin Xue suppressed the sadness in her eyes and hurriedly helped Yao Mowan back to the bed, feeling heartbroken.
"Who is Ying Oriole?" Di Ge's voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness. Yao Mowan clutched the brocade quilt fiercely, her sharp eyes like awls.
"Returning to the master, Yin Xue asked the tribe to investigate, and also found out through other channels, but nothing was found. This woman seemed to have fallen from the sky, no one knew who she was, and no one knew where she came from!
"Yin Xue looked solemn. This was the first time since she became a hidden guard that she felt so powerless.
Speechless, Yao Mowan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Yin Xue with some surprise. If Yin Xue couldn't be found out, then this woman must be a ruthless character. When had Ye Hongyi ever met such a woman? Yao Mowan
She forced herself to suppress the sadness in her heart and cheered up. When facing a powerful enemy, she could no longer be decadent.
That night, Ye Junqing sat alone at the table, his eyebrows furrowed and he thought for a long time, but he just shook his head.
"I have never heard of the name Yingli. I am very sure that she is not a member of the royal family, nor is she a member of the military." Ye Junqing looked solemnly at Yao Mowan, who was half leaning on the couch, with a worried look in his eyes.
"But she actually dared to kill people in Guanju Palace and was not punished by the emperor. Obviously she holds enough weight in the emperor's heart." Yin Xue analyzed calmly.
"Isn't the emperor the one who dotes on the empress the most? It's only been a little over a month. Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times, and that's absolutely right!" Ting Yue murmured angrily. At this moment, she was really glad that her master was not as affectionate as the eldest lady.
A heartless man.
"Indulging her does not necessarily mean doting on her. Since it does not mean doting on her, it means that this woman has enough value for Ye Hongyi to take advantage of. I now want to know what the value of this woman named Yingli is!" Yao
Mo Wan's every word was like frost, but her weak voice was absolutely cold.
