Chapter 194 A Friend Who Hits Both Sides (Two in One)

After returning from the Queen Mother, Shen Lingxi returned to Anhua Palace, and saw Yun Huang who had hurried into the palace in the morning.

"I was going to follow into the palace yesterday." Yun Huang's face was full of apology, "I didn't expect that the Yun Kingdom had a secret envoy to look for it, and it was delayed..."

He asked with concern: "I heard that many things happened in the palace last night, were you injured?"

Shen Lingxi shook her head.

She invited Yun Wang to the side hall where she lived last night, and told Yun Wang everything she knew about the little aunt from the female ghosts.

In the end, she said: "Danzhu publicly revealed that there was another hidden story about the sudden death of the former prince. If it is true as she said, as the little aunt Donggong Liangdi, and the princess who is married, and has no relatives or reasons in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be true." I don't have the ability and contacts to do things like 'intercept Dr. Liu' and 'go to the Imperial Hospital for leave for Dr. Liu'."

"Now that this case has been brought out by Danzhu, I believe Chu Yan will take this opportunity to investigate further, and this happens to be an opportunity to reverse the case for my little aunt."

"Right now, since I know that my little aunt is in the imperial tomb, and the imperial tomb is not accessible to ordinary people, I have decided to marry the emperor's grandson on a false basis. I hope to use this opportunity to clear up my grievances for my little aunt."

"Fake marriage..." Yun Wang frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I'm just temporarily being the concubine of the emperor's grandson in name, to help him avoid the current stigma, and to save him from being bothered by the gift of marriage." Shen Lingxi said with burning eyes: "In exchange, he promised me three conditions .”

Yun Zhuang's eyebrows were almost raised to the sky.

No matter what, he never expected that the two people who were struggling with each other before would make such rapid progress in just one night. It was really...beyond his imagination.

"He proposed it? Did he take the initiative to make a deal with you?" Yun Huang hurriedly asked.

Shen Lingxi nodded, "When I sneaked into your mansion with him, Duanyin Yuege lair, I used to pretend to be a couple with him. He said that as long as I acted with him like that then, I would fool the queen mother, the emperor and the ministers, let They don't urge marriage anymore."

Speaking of this, she paused, "When Ah Weng was alive, the marriage was urged so much that I wanted to hide in the coffin. It was really uncomfortable. I also understand his difficulties, so let me repay his kindness. "

Yun Wang looked at her strangely.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

Forget it, if you pretend to be married, you can pretend to get married.

As the saying goes, those who are close to the water first get the moon.

After getting married, the two are "close" to living under the same roof——
If that emperor's grandson still failed to make my sister open her heart to accept him.

It means that they really have nothing to do with each other.

At that time, he might have tried his best to find a way out for sister.

As long as he is alive, he will definitely protect my sister and never let her repeat the same mistakes in her previous life.

Yun Huang secretly made a decision, raised his eyes to Shen Lingxi, and said in a warm voice: "Originally, I planned to go back to Yunjiang after I found my little aunt with sister..."

"Nowadays there are some changes in Yunjiang. Since my sister chooses to marry the emperor's grandson temporarily, then I should have made a plan early. If you don't want to be the concubine of the Great Zhou in the future, there is a place to go..."

"Make plans earlier?" Shen Lingxi asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?"

Yun Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yesterday, the secret envoy came to report that the father was seriously ill. He learned of my situation in Da Zhou, so he specially sent someone to pick me up. It will be handed over to the Great Zhou Emperor."

"I'm going to Yunjiang... I don't know when I will be back, sister must protect herself."

Shen Lingxi looked at his expression, saw his elegant eyebrows and eyes, and when he mentioned his father and Yunjiang, there was a little bit of gloom.

Thinking again, when she first met Yun Wang, the scene when he was locked in the cellar by the people from Yinyue Pavilion.

Although Yinyue Pavilion was backed by the Zhao family back then, because of the relationship between Concubine Zhao Gui and Concubine Zhao, the Zhao family had all hands and eyes in Da Zhou.

However, as the most favored youngest son of King Yunjiang, Yun Wang should never have been reduced to the point where he was imprisoned for four full months and no one cares about him.

There must be some reason for this.

"Will there be any danger when you go back to Yunjiang?" Shen Lingxi asked tentatively.

Yunluan paused for breath.

But immediately, he raised his eyelids, with a smile on his lips, and looked at her in amazement, "Why would sister ask such a question suddenly? It's not like you don't know that my father has always loved me the most, so what danger can I have?" ?”

Shen Lingxi: "Then the Yinyue Pavilion..."

"The Zhao family blocked the news, it was an accident."

Yun Huang quickly interrupted her, and explained with a smile: "Sister, think about it, my father is seriously ill and still calls me back, maybe he has a plan to pass on the throne to me... If I sit on the king of Yunjiang in the future If you don’t have the seat, sister will have an extra backer, and when I take you to the holy mountain to pay homage to Queen Zanxi, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”

The late Queen Zanxi of Yunguo was Shen Lingxi's biological mother.

Shen Lingxi saw that Yun Huang's expression was sincere and did not seem to be fake, so she finally felt relieved.

"Okay, you can go at ease. Now that you know where little aunt is, leave the rest to me. When little aunt is rescued, I will go back to Yunjiang with little aunt to reunite with you."

Cloud smiled and nodded.

Coming out of the side hall, Yun Wang happened to run into Chu Yan who had returned from Zhaode Hall.

He went into the study alone with Chu Yan on business grounds.

Yun Wang gave a big gift to Chu Yan in Yunjiang, "...Please don't tell my sister about my situation in Yunjiang, Your Highness, so that I won't think too much about it."

Chu Yan frowned invisibly, "The king of Yunjiang is seriously ill, and the son of the king of Yunjiang wants to put you to death. With your current ability, going back is tantamount to sending you to death. If Lingxi knows that you are taking such a risk to go back, I will definitely not agree. I can't keep this matter from her."

Yun Wang knew that he would say that, and maintained the posture of greeting him, looking humble, but his voice was very sharp:
"If Your Highness tells Elder Sister about this, then I will tell her that His Highness married her this time because he truly loves her, and he never thought of separating from her in the future..."

Chu Yan's eyes instantly turned cold, and his whole body was filled with a strong killing intent.

"No one dares to threaten Gu." He rapped in a deep voice, "Dead people don't talk too much, anyway, you will die when you go back, Gu doesn't mind if you can't speak anymore."

Yun Huang lowered his head and smiled.

"Your Highness may have forgotten that sister can see ghosts."

Chu Yan: ...

Yun Huang raised his eyes and looked straight at Chu Yan. His dark eyes were full of stubbornness that was not afraid of death, "Sister took this marriage as a deal to repay His Highness. But His Highness was really moved. My family aunt My sister never thought about getting married. If she knew His Highness's affection for her, then she would definitely stay far away, so as not to disappoint His Highness's affection..."

"My sister was like this to Mu Huai'an at the beginning. Your Highness and sister have only known each other for a few months. Does your Highness think that sister's affection for His Highness is deeper than that for Mu Huai'an? "

"Your Highness thinks, after my sister knows His Highness's affection for her, will she treat His Highness differently from Mu Huai'an?"

Chu Yan frowned deeply.

These words reminded him immediately that when he was in the Heming Tower, he had heard Shen Lingxi say to Mu Huai'an -
He and Mu Huai'an are "best friends".

And with him, it was a "meeting by chance".

Although Yun Wang's words sound harsh.

But Chu Yan had to admit that what Yun Wang said was the truth.

This marriage was originally forced by him through means.

Thinking of Shen Lingxi's various reactions when he first mentioned "marriage" with Shen Lingxi in the palace that day——
Chu Yan closed his eyes, "Okay, Gu promises you."

Yun Wang's eyes were slightly relaxed, and he bowed to thank him.

"This time I can't participate in the big wedding between His Highness and Elder Sister. Yun Wang first wishes His Highness to keep the clouds open and see the moonlight in the future..."

"Your Highness, please don't pay too much attention to those words just now. From what I know about Elder Sister, if she really doesn't have the slightest affection for His Highness, she will never agree to this marriage. After all... She didn't agree to the same Let Mu Huai'an get married."

"I think His Highness is definitely more important than Mu Huai'an to sister..."

"Okay, don't need to say much." Chu Yan interrupted Yun Huang's words with a cold voice.

Now when he heard the word "Mu Huai'an", he felt a headache.

"Guhui will dispatch a team to dispatch you and escort you back to Yunjiang." He said in a deep voice.

Yun Wang didn't expect that on the surface, he was just a brother "worshiped" by his elder sister, but he would receive such care from the emperor's grandson, his eyes were full of surprise.

"You'd better live." Chu Yan looked at him and said solemnly: "I don't want to see that she will be sad for your death one day. I don't want to let Gu lose her life by hiding it from her for you." trust."

Yun Huang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and rarely responded sincerely and respectfully: "Understood, brother-in-law. Sister, please take care of me..."

This "brother-in-law" sounded very pleasant to Chu Yan.

With his brows and eyes flattened, the corners of his lips slightly raised, he stretched out his hand, patted Yun Wang's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "I'll give you another team, take care of yourself. Go."

*
Even with Mu Xue'e's accident, the trip to the Emperor's Mausoleum will not be delayed because of it.

The emperor ordered the case of Mu Xue'e and Suohunjing underground palace to be handled by Chu Yan with full authority, and then he drove to the imperial mausoleum with the empress dowager and empress.

And Shen Lingxi, as the person who was ordered by the emperor to "drive away evil spirits" for Chu Yan, was naturally retained.

Mu Huai'an stayed with them.

Mu Huai'an was the young minister of Dali Temple who was most trusted by the emperor, and the emperor sent him to stay and assist Chu Yan in investigating the case.

Although, Mu Huai'an knew from Shen Lingxi that she was about to marry Chu Yan.

But the emperor's imperial decree and the empress dowager's imperial decree were not issued one day later, Shen Lingxi was still the Taoist Miaoling, the shopkeeper of Shen's coffin shop, not a concubine.

Naturally, Mu Huai'an would not let it go, one of the few opportunities to get along with Shen Lingxi as an equal.

So, in the study of Anhua Palace.

When Shen Lingxi was listening to the descriptions of those female ghost sisters, while drawing on the rice paper ten years ago, the portrait of the suspect who carved the name of the former princess on the wall of the Suohunjing underground palace——
Mu Huai'an was standing beside her, holding the sleeves of his robe with his slender white hands, cutting paper for her, grinding ink, and refilling her tea from time to time.

It can be said to be extremely attentive.

Because of the evil spirit around him, Chu Yan was a hindrance to the female ghosts, so he could only lean against the far window, unable to get close.

He watched Mu Huai'an's movements with cold eyes, his black eyes seemed to be splashed with thick ink, and the displeasure and jealousy were deeply hidden in the bottom of his eyes.

Shen Lingxi really couldn't stand Mu Huai'an's sudden hospitality.

He lowered his voice and said to him: "I can do it myself, without the help of Shaoqing..."

"What? Afraid Your Highness will be jealous?"

Mu Huai'an squinted at her, and replied in a low voice, "The decree of marriage has not been made yet, you are afraid of this and that, and if you get married in the future, won't you be controlled by him? I heard that newlyweds In between, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, you have to test his bottom line, you have to be able to hold him, so that you can do whatever you want in the future."

Shen Lingxi looked at him strangely.

Mu Huai'an: "You're welcome, young master, I'm also giving my life to help you."

Shen Lingxi: ...

She and Chu Yan are not real at all, so why "explore" them.

But it was hard to tell Mu Huai'an such words, so she could only say, "Your Highness knows that you and I are just good friends, so you won't think too much about it, Shaoqing doesn't need to do anything unnecessary."

Mu Huaian clicked his tongue.

The words "just friends" really hurt my heart.

He took a deep breath and turned sideways, facing the sight of death from the window.

"Whether it's unnecessary or not, we have to try to know."

"If I disappear without a trace tomorrow, I will be your future husband. You are not generous enough, just remember to save me."

"This time, I can be regarded as stabbing you in both sides. You have to be loyal, after all, we two are 'friends'."

This time, Mu Huai'an did not deliberately lower the volume, to ensure that Chu Yan could hear him with his hearing.

Just the word "friend" still hurt his cheek from biting.

Chu Yan's black eyes became darker when he heard these words.

It seems that the purpose of granting marriage has to be urged again.

Shen Lingxi, who was concentrating on the portrait, didn't notice the long-distance maneuver between the two.

For her, this was the first time that Mu Huai'an called himself a "friend" in front of her.

No longer talk about "marriage proposal" and "marriage" all the time.

It means that after the candid conversation in the morning, Mu Huai'an has completely let go.

This freed Shen Lingxi from the psychological burden, and it was rare to feel that she could get along with him easily.

Shen Lingxi smiled.

It's hard to explain, so I don't want to say anything more, so I just let him go.

The female ghost sisters surrounded the three of them, while helping Shen Lingxi draw the portrait of the suspect, they did not forget to eat melons.

"There's such a strong smell of vinegar by the window, I, a ghost who has lost all five senses, can smell it."

"Tsk tsk, little Shaoqing has red lips and white teeth, so handsome, especially those peach blossom eyes, so tender. Let me, a sister, look at her, and my heart will melt."

"Little Shaoqing won't be interested in our little girl, right? Hey, hey, what a pity, our little girl has already agreed to Xiao Langjun's marriage proposal. In fact, little Shaoqing is not bad..."

Shen Lingxi's heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, when I was talking with Mu Huai'an outside the Shou'an Palace in the morning, these female ghost sisters all went to Zhaode Hall with Chu Yan to watch the excitement.

If not, this moment would not be just such a joke...

Shen Lingxi finally finished drawing the portrait of the suspect, dried the ink on it, walked to the window, and showed it to Chu Yan.

When Chu Yan saw the face of the person in the painting, his face changed slightly...
