Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 125 Wake Up
Lingling was led to the side hall by the maid.

Shen Xuhuai stood in the shadow, the weak light came in from the window and fell in front of him, only showing a rough outline.

Lingling couldn't see his expression clearly, but somehow felt a trace of fear from him. She didn't dare to go any further, and asked tentatively, "Did you come to me because of the jade pendant?"

"En." Shen Xuhuai's eyes were dim, like a beast lurking in the dark, ready to attack at any time.

Lingling didn't notice his abnormality, and put all her heart on the jade pendant, "Have you found out the origin of the jade pendant?"

However, Shen Xuhuai did not answer her, but instead asked: "I heard that you deliberately rode your horse to kill Yao'er?"

His tone was calm and slow, but it made Lingling's back feel chilly, and she subconsciously denied it: "No, no, I didn't mean to harm her."

"Do you think I don't know what you did?" Shen Xuhuai hooked his lips sarcastically, "I said, if you dare to attack Yao'er, I have ten thousand ways to make you disappear from this world."

Ling Ling stared wide-eyed in the night, her face full of horror: "It's not me, it's Su Lingxi's fault!"

Thinking of Su Lingxi, she seemed to grasp the only straw.

"That's right! All of this is Su Lingxi, she wants to marry Fu Mingjue, that's why she hates Ling Youyao so much, she even wants to use me to kill Ling Youyao!"

Hearing these words, there was no wavering in Shen Xuhuai's calm eyes.

He already knew that Su Lingxi wanted to marry Fu Mingjue, but he didn't expect Su Lingxi to have such a vicious heart?

Lingling was afraid that Shen Xuhuai would not believe her, so she said: "You believe me! Su Lingxi's gentle and generous appearance is all pretending, she"

In the middle of speaking, Shen Xuhuai suddenly interrupted her: "I don't want to hear about the grievances between you and her. Now that you have entered the palace, you should be more honest and peaceful. If there is another time, I guarantee that you will not forget how you died. None of them know."

Lingling's face turned pale again and again, and she had no choice but to respond: "You promised me that you would help me find out the origin of the jade pendant."

"I can tell you now that the jade pendant on your body has a different origin, it should be a token of a certain family."

Lingling was stunned, and couldn't help but squeeze the jade pendant in her arms, "Really?"

When her mother gave the jade pendant to her, she only told her to keep it safe and never expose it to others unless it was absolutely necessary.

In addition to these words, the mother also said that if she really wanted to fly on a branch and become a phoenix in the future, the only thing she could rely on was this jade pendant.

It was precisely because of the latter sentence that when Lingling was living in Suizhou, she would rather sell her maidservant into a brothel than sell her jade pendant.

Regardless of whether the words are true or not, she must keep the jade pendant.

Shen Xuhuai glanced at Ling Ling lightly, and said, "For the time being, only these have been found out, and the specific family has not yet been determined."

He was telling the truth, but he didn't tell Ling Ling all the facts. It wasn't that he concealed it on purpose, but there were still doubts about some things, and he needed to investigate thoroughly before deciding whether Ling Ling would stay or not.

Ling Lingguang felt a little excited when she heard the word family.

If what Shen Xuhuai said is true, isn't it very likely that she is the daughter of a certain family living abroad?

If so, she will be able to get rid of the stigma of being the daughter of a criminal minister
Ling Ling looks forward to changing her destiny with this jade pendant, and also hopes that she can become a real phoenix as her destiny says.

Shen Xuhuai took her expression into his eyes, the light in his eyes was extremely light, he didn't stay long, and left here quietly.

When Ling Ling came back to her senses, she realized that he had already left. Thinking of the jade pendant in her hand, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she also left the side hall.

Unexpectedly, after she left, the maid who was hiding in the dark appeared and watched Ling Ling walk away before returning to the banquet.

After hearing her report, Jin Meiren was surprised at first, and then showed a smug smile.

"Are you sure you see clearly?"

The palace maid lowered her head and replied: "Although I can't see the face clearly, what the servant can be sure of is that the man is a man."

"Sure enough, she's a flirtatious person," Jin Meiren smiled sarcastically, "She dares to have a private meeting with her lover in the palace, she is really not afraid of death."

"Master, what should we do now?"

"No hurry, there is a first time, there will always be a second time." Jin Meiren covered her face with a smile, and a sly look flashed across her eyes.

Not everyone can have the last laugh when they enter the harem. If they want to climb up, they have no choice but to step on other people's corpses.

In the long night, sporadic lights stubbornly radiate their faint light in the darkness.

Compared with the royal palace full of music, King Jing's Mansion is much quieter.

A gust of cool night wind blows down the begonias that are almost withered in the courtyard, and the petals fall, making layers of flute sounds.

The melodious sound of the flute hovers in the quiet night, and a peach blossom quietly blooms in the autumn night.

Like four years ago, Fu Mingjue stood at the place closest to Ling Youyao but at the farthest, playing the song Peach Blossom tenderly.

He was afraid that Ling Youyao would recall that memory, but he was even more afraid that she would not wake up.

The ethereal flute sound reached Ling Youyao's ears through the window. She closed her eyes tightly, and her brows that had been frowning for a long time finally relaxed at this moment.

Ling Youyao has heard this song before, but she can't remember when and where she heard it.

She was immersed in that bloody nightmare and couldn't extricate herself. The fear that was suppressed in her heart surrounded her like a tide, and the bone-chilling chill spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs and bones.

There was bright red in front of his eyes, blood on his hands, and blood on his face.

She tried to see the people behind her sister clearly, but this nightmare seemed to be endless, repeating and looping.
It will never be clear who killed Ling Qingwei.

Ling Youyao held on to the quilt tightly, feeling as if her whole body was hanging in mid-air, and she fell instantly weightless, causing her to suddenly open her eyes.

She hadn't seen the light for a long time, and even such a faint light made her feel very dazzling.

She subconsciously closed her eyes, but she heard Yinzhu's surprised voice in her ear: "Princess, are you awake?!"

Lu Bao then leaned over, her round eyes filled with tears: "Princess, you've finally woken up! I'm so worried about this servant."

Ling Youyao pursed her chapped lips, looked at them with confused eyes, her throat seemed to be glued together, and she couldn't make a sound.

Yinzhu knew that she was suffering, so she hurriedly poured her a glass of warm water.

Lu Bao helped her up and put a pillow behind her before feeding her water bit by bit.

After drinking water, Ling Youyao finally felt better.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Lu Bao asked with concern, "Physician Sun lives in the mansion, servant girl, please invite him to come and have a look?"

Ling Youyao shook her head, stared blankly at the withered begonia outside the window, and asked hoarsely, "How long have I been asleep?"

Yinzhu and Lubao looked at each other, Yinzhu replied: "Today is already the seventh day."

"Seven days." Ling Youyao muttered to herself, it turned out that she had slept for so long.
