There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the sound of rain pounding on the ground made people feel chilly unconsciously.
On the corridor, a woman in a lavender dress looked at the rain outside the curtain, a look of worry flashed across her beautiful face.
At this time, a man dressed in black walked in holding an umbrella.
Hearing this movement, Helian Chunqiao quickly looked over, stepped forward quickly and asked, "How is it? Is there any news?"
Chu Zhihan put the umbrella in his hand aside and stepped forward to take Helian Chunqiao's hand. He frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold? Come in quickly."
"Leave me alone, tell me quickly, is there any information about the whereabouts of the young lady?" He Lian Chunqiao held Chu Zhihan's hand tightly with her backhand and said nervously. Ever since she knew that the young lady fell off the cliff, her heart had been racing.
She couldn't calm down no matter what. If it weren't for being pregnant, she would have rushed to Liangdu.
Seeing Helian Chunqiao's nervous look, Chu Zhihan did not force her. He pulled her to the table and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "The people over there have reported that there is no news of her whereabouts yet.
, the cliff is too deep, and there is a river below, so it will be a bit troublesome to find people."
"So, Miss is in trouble this time? How could it be like this?" He Lian Chunqiao gritted his teeth and looked outside the curtain, tears falling unconsciously, "Miss is so kind and has helped so many people.
, Why does God still make things difficult for her like this? Does the sky have eyes?"
"Boom -" thunder passed by, drowning out the voice blaming God.
Seeing Helian Chunqiao's excitement, Chu Zhihan quickly stood up and went to her side, comforting and saying: "Don't be so pessimistic now. I just said that there is a river below. If she falls in the water and is washed outside, there will be someone."
Maybe she will be rescued, but we can't give up until we see her body. You think so, right?"
Seeing Chu Zhihan's concerned look, Helian Chunqiao gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "You're right, we can't give up until the end. I'm fine here. Go to Liangdu quickly and take a look.
Can you help me find the lady?"
When Chu Zhihan heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can't leave."
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." He Lian Chunqiao thought Chu Zhihan was worried about her and said quickly.
Chu Zhihan shook his head again. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. An idea suddenly emerged in his mind. He murmured, "It seems that all this has been as she expected. She is really thoughtful in taking such precautions.
"
"What are you talking about?" He Lian Chunqiao looked at Chu Zhihan in confusion, "You'd better leave for Liangdu as soon as possible."
Turning his head to look at Helian Chunqiao, Chu Zhihan said in a condensed voice: "There is Leng Xue over there in Liangdu. As long as Yun Yan is still alive, Leng Xue will definitely find her. You know this better than I do. And
There is something going on at the border. Yan Lingxiao and his troops are at the border town with 200,000 soldiers. You and I both understand what he is thinking. Now I can't leave."
He Lian Chunqiao's eyes widened and she said in shock: "You mean Yan Lingxiao has already started taking action?" Then she said angrily, "He is the one who caused the young lady to fall off the cliff. We must not let him go."
Seeing He Lian Chunqiao's angry face, Chu Zhihan felt helpless. Whenever something happened to Yun Yan, his little wife would not be calm.
"Someone has already taken revenge on Yan Lingxiao before you did." Chu Zhihan said, he raised his feet and walked towards the curtain, raised his hand to lift the curtain and looked at the misty rain outside, "No wonder Yan
Ling Xiao was so troubled by her that she finally killed her. "If such a woman cannot be used for herself, it is better to get rid of her quickly. Yun Yan is really a terrible woman!
Ninghe Palace, inner hall
These days, Mu Xuening has been sick, always groggy, and extremely vague about the things around her. When she learned that Mu Yangtian passed away, she couldn't even breathe and passed out directly.
I finally woke up today, but my whole body looked haggard and lifeless. My originally beautiful face was now as pale as paper, and there was no trace of blood on my lips.
"Ahem..." Mu Xuening held on to the edge of the couch and kept coughing.
"Eldest Princess, you'd better lie down and I'll bring you medicine now." Hui'er said while patting Mu Xuening's back. Her eyebrows were full of worry, and the eldest princess didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly she became so seriously ill, and she was not allowed to go to the imperial doctor. Later, the emperor became seriously ill, and no one from the imperial hospital had time to come here. Now, what should we do?
It took a long time for Mu Xuening to regain her composure. She opened her mouth with blurred eyes and shouted in a low voice, "Hui'er..."
"Princess, my servant is here." Hui'er said quickly.
Mu Xuening moved her body, and Hui'er realized that she wanted to sit up, and quickly took the pillow and let her lean on the edge of the couch.
After taking a breath, Mu Xuening calmed down and whispered: "Your Majesty...really, really..."
"Princess..." Hui'er shouted in a low voice but said nothing.
There was another cough, and Hui'er wanted to step forward, but Mu Xuening raised her hand to stop her. She shook her head slightly, looking at the bright snowy weather outside, with a hint of bitterness on her lips, "Life and death are determined by God, this is all.
Life. Brother Huang is not a god, he is a human being. He will die one day. However, I always thought that if I continue to hate him like this, Brother Huang can always be by my side. He will always be in my memory.
With Yuchen, he will always live in my heart."
"Eldest Princess, don't be sad." Hui'er advised her. In fact, she had always known that the eldest princess said she hated the emperor, but in her heart she couldn't let go of her brother. They were brothers and sisters.
The friendship was so deep that even Concubine Yu felt emotional about it back then.
"Sad? Am I qualified? In the end, I didn't even see the emperor's last face. He must be very angry. He must be blaming me. I should have told him earlier that I don't hate him anymore. I
I don’t hate him anymore.” Mu Xuening bit her lip, and her lips that had lost blood were stained with blood, and her tears fell down.
Seeing Mu Xuening shed tears, Hui'er couldn't help but shed tears too.
At this moment, Mu Xuening seemed to have thought of something, "Where is Jingnan? Is he in the palace? The emperor should want to see him the most."
When she mentioned this, Hui'er became even more heartbroken. She sobbed and said, "Actually, the Sixth Prince has been missing for several days."
Missing? Mu Xuening was stunned, how could this happen? She looked at Hui'er in disbelief, "What happened? How could he, who was so good, disappear?"
"In fact, not only the Sixth Prince is missing, but also the Sixth Princess. The news from the palace is that the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess had a quarrel, and both of them fell off the cliff. Now their life or death is uncertain." Huier bit her lip,
She turned her head and looked away. If something happened to the Sixth Prince, how would he ask her to explain it to Concubine Yu?
Hearing this, Mu Xuening frowned deeply. She coughed and whispered: "Who brought this news back?"
"It seems to be the Fourth Prince." Huier wiped her tears and replied.
Mu Qingyuan? Mu Xuening closed her eyes and whispered: "Now that the emperor has passed away, who will be elected by the court as the new emperor?"
Hui'er was about to answer, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, accompanied by a arrogant female voice, "Of course it is the prince. In our dynasty, the throne is usually inherited by the prince. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess did not even go to the emperor's funeral.
, It’s really a lot of courage.”
Hearing this, Mu Xuening frowned and looked at the entrance of the palace. Queen Gao Yueli walked in wearing plain clothes, followed by a maid, Xiuhe.
"The queen is not waiting in front of the late emperor, but she is interested in coming to this palace. Does she want to show off that she will soon ascend the throne of the queen mother?" Mu Xuening turned her head and said coldly.
The corner of Gao Yueli's mouth twitched slightly, and a coldness flashed in her eyes. She walked directly to Mu Xuening's bed, looked at her pale face, and suddenly smiled softly and said: "If I say, I am here to talk to you."
How about reminiscing about old times? Looking at the eldest princess, she is probably very ill. Could it be infected by others?" As she said that, she covered her mouth and nose with a wary look on her face.
Hui'er looked on and couldn't help but feel angry. She had resented Gao Yueli because of Concubine Yu's incident, so she immediately said, "The eldest princess's disease is not contagious. The queen should not wrongly accuse others.
"
"Oh, even the maid next to the eldest princess is so arrogant now, do you dare not to take me seriously?" Gao Yueli's originally smiling face quickly condensed as the words moved, and she glared angrily
Hui'er suddenly thought of something and sneered, "Who was I at that time? It turned out to be the maid next to Dugu Jinyu. No wonder he was so arrogant. It's a pity that your master didn't live long, and now he has become an unjust ghost. You
Are you afraid that your mistress will be lonely, so you plan to accompany her?"
It was okay not to mention Dugu Jinyu, but when he did, the hatred in Hui'er's heart spurted out like a fountain, and she was immediately ready to speak.
"Queen, please don't make a mistake. She is now the maid of this palace, and it is not your turn to comment." Mu Xuening looked at Gao Yueli coldly, "Don't forget, the eldest princess is not subject to the queen in our court.
Constraints."
Hearing these words, Gao Yueli's face instantly turned pale. She glanced at Mu Xuening and said with a sneer: "Now that your imperial brother can't protect you, you'd better understand your superiority and inferiority."
"Inferiority? The queen really thinks that the fourth prince, no, it should be the prince, can be superior to all living beings?" Mu Xuening sneered and said, "Do you think that what you did back then was flawless?
"
Seeing Mu Xuening's provocative look, Gao Yueli was stunned for a long time, alarm bells ringing in her heart. Did she know something? Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked outside the hall, and said loudly: "Now that the emperor will be buried in heaven, the elder will be buried."
The princess is grieving excessively and may be infected with a serious disease, which may spread to the palace people. Therefore, Ninghe Palace is temporarily closed until the eldest princess recovers." She looked back at Mu Xuening, "Although I can't ask the eldest princess to do anything, but this Ninghe Palace
I still have the final say on the peace palace." After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and went out directly.
"Elder Princess, this..." Hui'er was shocked. She looked at Mu Xuening and said worriedly, "The queen clearly wants to imprison you."
"Ahem..." Mu Xuening coughed, her eyes darkened, and she looked at the door of the palace, "Rather than saying that she wants to imprison me, it is better to say that she is afraid that I will reveal the secret."
