Chapter 116 Birthday Celebrations Upstairs ([-])
Until she was protected in someone's arms, Ye Lingxi was still covered. There was a buzzing in her head and a buzzing in her ears, as if someone was calling her, "Princess, princess, princess..." in a voice like Covered in thick fog, it was blurry. Gradually, the voice became clearer and clearer, until those dark pupils like cold stars came into her field of vision. She stared at those eyes and suddenly thought of a person, that person. The man was running towards her, his armor reflecting the light in the snow, as if he was wearing the stars and the moon...
An indescribable feeling of grievance came to her heart. She didn't know why she felt so wronged. She only knew that she felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. In fact, she did the same, crying in Yanfei's arms and almost passed her body. I was so angry that I finally sobbed for a while, and then burst into tears, as if I wanted to cry out all the grievances and pain I had suffered in my past and present lives, and let them out with these tears.

Yan Fei just sat on the ground with his knees bent, gently patted Ye Lingxi's back and silently comforted her.

Later, Ye Lingxi felt tired from crying, so she fell asleep in Yanfei's arms. She didn't care whether the snake was still there or not, and no matter how Yanfei got her downstairs, her hands were like eight. The claws were wrapped around Yanfei's waist like a fish, and she slept peacefully with her head buried on his chest.

.......
When Ye Lingxi woke up, it was already the next morning.Lingdang couldn't wait to tell everything about what happened last night. Listening to Lingdang vividly talk about how she cried in Yanfei's arms last night and how she hugged Yanfei without letting go, she felt a little embarrassed to see others. It would be fair to assume that he was overly frightened.

"Are your father and mother and concubine okay?" "Both your emperor and your empress are okay. I don't know where the snake came from. Later, the imperial doctor looked at it and said it was a water snake and was not poisonous. But princess, where you almost fell, The railings were sawed in advance and only stuck with paper. They broke with a little force. When the emperor found out, he became very angry and ordered a strict investigation of the matter. By the way, Mr. Yan is still in the palace. Princess, you have been I hugged Mr. Yan and didn’t let go. It was too late for Mr. Yan to leave the palace, so I stayed at the Third Highness’s place.”

When Ling Ding said this, Concubine Lan came over with Zhu'er. Seeing that Ye Lingxi could talk and laugh as usual, she felt at ease.Afterwards, Dr. Han from the Tai Hospital came over with Bai Hu. After checking Ye Lingxi's pulse, he gave instructions on dietary precautions and asked Bai Hu to go back and prepare the medicine first. He went to report back to the emperor.

When Bai Hu came back with the prepared medicine bag, he happened to meet Yan Fei on the road, and the two came together. Except for Yan Fei asking if Ye Lingxi was okay and Bai Hu replied that it was no big deal, the whole journey was uneventful. talk.Then Ye Xingye also came. When he saw Yan Fei, he asked him why he didn't tell him first. As soon as he turned around, he disappeared.Yan Fei didn't explain this, and Ye Xing Ye made a few complaints and put them aside.

Seeing Yan Fei, Ye Lingxi felt a little embarrassed. After all, she cried like that in her arms last night. She probably had snot and tears all on her clothes. She took another peek and saw that Yan Fei had indeed changed her clothes, even more so. I'm sorry, but her third brother insisted on asking, "Lingxi, why did you cry so hard last night? I heard it even from a distance."

"The princess almost fell. Can you not be frightened and cry?" Yan Fei explained for Ye Lingxi, then changed the subject and said, "Someone must have deliberately caused chaos last night, and the railings were sawed open in advance." At this point, he pondered for a moment, glanced towards Ye Lingxi, and said nothing further.

Ye Xingye held his chin and thought for a while, then speculated: "Is it possible that someone deliberately wanted to harm Lingxi?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The situation was chaotic at the time, and other people might have crashed into it," Yan Fei said.

Ye Lingxi carefully recalled the situation at that time. When Yanfei came over, someone suddenly shouted that there was a snake, and there was a commotion in the crowd. Before Yanfei could reach her, she was pushed away, and Hehe and Lingdang were also pushed away by the crowd. The crowd broke up, and she almost fell to the ground again. Before she could stand still, she was pushed away again. Then her back seemed to be pushed or hit, and she hit the broken railing. I concentrated on recalling whether I was pushed or hit over and over again, and finally decided to verify it myself.

"Third brother, put your hand on my back and push me." Ye Lingxi stood up and turned his back to Ye Xingye.Ye Xingye didn't know what the little imperial sister meant by this move, but Yan Fei already understood.

"Is it like this?" Ye Xingye raised a hand and put it on Ye Lingxi's back and pushed gently, "Harder." Ye Xingye increased his strength again, "A little harder." Ye Xingye this time He increased his strength and accidentally pushed the person staggering. He quickly went to help the person, but was shocked by the expression on the little princess's face. Ye Lingxi's eyes widened and his expression was extremely serious.

Upon seeing this, Yan Fei already knew the result, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Lingxi, are you... okay?"

Ye Lingxi took a deep breath, put away the serious look on his face and replied: "It's okay." Ye Xingye also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Yan Fei with concern: "Isn't Lingxi scared out of his mind?" ?

Yan Fei obviously ignored it and focused on Ye Lingxi, "Is there anyone you're thinking of?"

Ye Xingye looked at the two of them, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing. Seeing that the little imperial sister looked thoughtful, he did not interrupt even though he was full of questions.

The first thing Ye Lingxi thought of was Concubine Xiao. Yesterday was her mother-in-law's birthday. On such a special day, if she fell from upstairs, it would definitely be an unbearable blow to her mother-in-law. Therefore, Excessive grief can lead to depression at worst, and depression at worst. The other party's move is really insidious and ruthless, and it is nothing more than murder and heart-wrenching.

In the previous life, Concubine Xiao hated the Star-Zhaing Tower so much because her father only allowed her mother and concubine to celebrate her birthday there. She still clearly remembers that Concubine Xiao said that her mother-in-law was not worthy of the Star-Zhaing Tower, not to mention how jealous her mother was. Concubine, but Concubine Xiao just told her a few days ago that she wants her to help her second brother more in the future and mention her second brother more in front of her father. Even if she is unloading and killing the donkey, she still has to wait for the donkey to finish the grinding. , and according to the previous life, nothing happened on the birthday of her mother-in-law.

Could it be because she had previously designed to expose Aunt Li, the spy, and ruined Concubine Xiao's original plan.

According to Concubine Xiao's original plan, her mother-in-law would not survive more than three to five years. In Concubine Xiao's eyes, her mother-in-law was a person destined to die. Since she was destined to die, why bother bothering her anymore? Wouldn't it be self-inflicted if she was exposed? Troublesome, but Aunt Li exposed it in advance, and her mother-in-law's health was getting better and better under the care of the imperial doctor. So when Concubine Xiao heard that her father was going to celebrate her mother-in-law's birthday in the most magnificent Star-Zhaing Tower in the palace. She couldn't sit still and came up with such a vicious plan to kill her mother and concubine!
