Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 26
Lian Yingtong turned to look at Zong Ting, "Is she the owner of the horse?"

"Can Weichen help you choose another horse?"

"No, I chose it first, and then she just returned to the palace, how did she become the owner of this horse?"

Before Zong Ting could answer, Xin Mei came over and took the reins of the horse, raised her head and looked at Lian Yingtong, with an expression that clearly said that the horse belonged to her.

"Miss Xin, there are still good horses in the stables, why are you fighting for my horse?" She knew that Xin Mei could not hear or speak, so she also grabbed the end of the rein and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Zong Ting had no choice but to go forward to persuade him, "Little Princess, this horse is called Mei Ye, and the emperor gave it to Empress Concubine Xin three years ago, and she used to raise and take care of it."

"You also said it was in the past, and the person who raised and cared for it in the past few years is not Concubine Xin!"

Lian Yingtong didn't know what was wrong, and after hearing Zong Ting say that Murong Yuchi gave it to Xin Mei three years ago, she refused to let go, and Xin Mei naturally refused to give up, and the two were at a stalemate.

Qi Beiyao said: "Ms. Xin, I have a Dawan bloody horse, which is also very good. I will order someone to bring it to you. How about lending the charm to the little princess first?"

Xin Mei caressed the horse's mane and glanced at Qi Beiyao, and then saw the stubbornness on her face that refused to let go. Xin Mei suddenly let go of the rein and stood aside.

"Thank you, Empress Xin."

Qi Beiyao took the reins and walked around the racecourse with charm. Lian Yingtong was riding alone for the first time, and she was really nervous. She must not make a fool of herself in front of Xin Mei. With this mentality, she tightly held the reins tightly and listened attentively to Qi Beiyao teach her.

Fortunately, after walking down for a few laps and Qi Beiyao taught her well, she was already able to control her charm very well.

"Stand on the stirrups and control the rein, don't run too fast, take your time." Qi Beiyao gradually let go of the rein and told her.

"understood."

Mei Se trotted away, Lian Yingtong was a little excited, as if she had returned to the feeling when her father was holding her and galloping on a horse when she was a child.

Xin Mei has been looking at Lian Yingtong, and when she passed by on horseback, Xin Mei's cold eyes brought a hint of mockery and just shook her head.

Lian Yingtong stared at her in return, and couldn't help secretly telling Mei Se to run faster.

Xin Mei suddenly raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and Mei Se, who was obedient and obedient, suddenly galloped forward. Lian Yingtong had no time to react, her two feet fell from the stirrups, her body leaned back, and she instinctively clenched the reins tightly.

"Little princess let go!" Qi Beiyao shouted, he was closer to Lian Yingtong than Zong Ting, leaped up, and quickly and agilely flew to hug her who was dropped by the horse.

Mei Se raised her hoofs and rolled up the dust, and ran to a stop in front of Xin Mei. Xin Mei caressed it, Mei Se was still a little irritable, and her horse hooves pawed the ground from time to time.

Qi Beiyao hugged Lian Yingtong, who was still in shock, and then looked at the suddenly irritable charm, his eyes moved.

Xin Mei quickly sat on the saddle deftly, shaking the rein with her wrist, and steered Charm to gallop forward, her movements flowing smoothly and smoothly.The breeze blew her loose hair from the temples, she smiled and walked past Lian Yingtong.

With a plain white figure and a black steed under her crotch, Xin Mei has a graceful and agile posture, shaking the reins to control her charm freely.

It is indeed beautiful, a different kind of beauty is eye-catching.

The servant brought Qi Beiyao's horse, and Xin Mei took the reins and rode over slowly, just looking at the horse, not very interested.

Turning to look at the frightened Lian Yingtong, she sighed softly with a hint of mockery just now.

"You did it on purpose!" Lian Yingtong regained her composure. She was rubbed by the reins and hurt her palm. Fortunately, Qi Beiyao made a timely move, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground hard.

"Little princess, Madam Xin should have no malicious intentions. I have invited the imperial physician to heal your wound."

Even Zong Ting seemed to have changed his personality to protect Xin Mei. Obviously it was Xin Mei who ordered Mei Se to be violent and then threw her down. Zong Ting saw all this by Xin Mei's side, and he actually said that Xin Mei had no malice!

Lian Yingtong clenched her palms tightly, and the pain from pinching her nails on the wound was even worse, unable to restrain the churning emotions in her heart.

"She did it on purpose!"

Zong Ting was silent, Qi Beiyao couldn't say anything more, Xin Mei couldn't hear it at all, and just rode Charm again.

"Weichen has wound medicine here. The little princess's palm is scratched a little, so let's apply the medicine first." Zong Ting took out the medicine bottle he carried with him and prepared to treat the wound on her palm.

"I don't care about it!" She waved her hand and knocked down the porcelain bottle Zong Ting handed over.

The porcelain vase was thrown out by an external force, and it hit Charming who was galloping impartially. She was suddenly frightened, the horse neighed, and it raised its front hooves high. Xin Mei was caught off guard. Grab the reins and clamp the horse's belly with your legs.

However, Mei Se is uncontrollable like crazy, bouncing up and down from time to time while speeding.

Xin Mei was thrown to one side by the jolting body, she let go of the reins and tried to jump off, but one foot fell off the stirrup, and the other foot got stuck in it, and she was about to be dragged along by the mad Mei Se.

Zong Ting was shocked, and rushed towards Xin Mei. The figure jumped, and someone moved faster than him. The black and shiny whip was flying in the air, with a slight harsh sound, gently enveloping Xin Mei, and at the same time, the short dagger in his hand flew The charm of stabbing and running wildly.

Quickly and ruthlessly, with one stab, the mad horse fell down on the spot, Xin Mei was wrapped up in the whip, the man pulled back gently with gentle wrists, and his body moved forward to firmly hug Xin Mei.

Black regular clothes with gold trim, dark eyes gazing slightly, frowning and looking at Xin Mei in his arms without saying a word.

Xin Mei turned pale, and turned to look at Lian Yingtong who was also frightened not far away.

Zong Ting knelt in front of him, "Your Majesty, it's the fault of my humble servant, Xin Concubine and the little princess..."

Murong Yuchi's arms suddenly sank, and when he looked down again, Xin Mei was unconscious in his arms.

Lian Yingtong's pretty face turned pale, and her three souls were almost terrified. Under the bright sun, she felt her whole body was cold, and her feet were so weak that she leaned on Qi Beiyao's shoulder.

The scene just now was extremely thrilling, and she had no intention of harming anyone when she was angry, but her unintentional action when she was angry almost hurt Xin Mei unintentionally.

Qi Beiyao put his arms around her, and he obviously felt the person in his arms trembling slightly. In fact, even he himself didn't think that things were serious enough to happen just now.

Murong Yuchi's face was ashen, but the corners of his lips curled into a smile, and he approached Lian Yingtong.

She only felt a huge sense of oppression swept over her whole body, and this sense of oppression carried a chilling anger all over her body.

Qi Beiyao hugged her waist tightly with his arms. The indifferent and feminine beauty of the man in front of him was too charming to everyone, but also too indifferent. The person in his arms was so scared that Qi Beiyao was willing to protect her willingly.

Lian Yingtong stood on the spot and watched the man approaching step by step, his expression was extremely gloomy and his eyes were cold.

Of course, the cold eyes were for her, for Xin Mei who had an accident, his eyes were full of panic, worry, and pity.

She knew that Murong Yuchi was angry, angry because Xin Mei almost had an accident, and angry because she hurt Xin Mei by her unintentional actions.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and she was almost thrown off the horse. At that time, she was also panicked and frightened to death.

Murong Yuchi's gaze fell to the arm that was hugging Lian Yingtong, his pupils suddenly sank.

"come over!"

He ordered, but Lian Yingtong turned a deaf ear to her. She didn't move a step, and Qi Beiyao stood in front of her calmly.

"Emperor, Qi Beiyao has been standing next to the little princess just now, and witnessed everything that happened with his own eyes. Although it happened too suddenly, the little princess really didn't intend to hurt Empress Concubine Xin, and he did it accidentally."

Hearing what he said, Lian Yingtong was so wronged that she almost couldn't help crying. She took a few deep breaths, desperately trying not to let herself cry.

Zong Ting chose to remain silent and not help her. Murong Yuchi was a completely different person to her. The doting in the past was also because she was Xin Mei's substitute. Other than that, she was nothing.

No one feels sorry for what's the use of crying, it's just self-defeating.

"I discipline my niece, Prince Qi, please go back." Murong Yuchi's voice was cold, Qi Beiyao had no choice but to leave, and Lian Yingtong suddenly stared into Murong Yuchi's eyes that couldn't see through the depths, "The emperor has already made up his mind, hasn't he?"

"I want to hear it from your own mouth."

She took a deep breath and faced Murong Yuchi, "I didn't mean to hurt her, but I was right." Slowly spread her palm, several scars of different depths oozed blood, "I was hurt too, it's Xin..."

The half-closed black eyes suddenly opened, lightly brushing over the wound in her palm, Murong Yuchi's indifferent voice chilled her heart.

"Sim Mae almost died."

Even Yingtong's throat was blocked by his words, and she was so choked up that she couldn't speak. If it wasn't for Qi Beiyao, she would have lost at least half of her life.

"You hate me, it has nothing to do with Xin Mei."

She turned her head to the side and looked at him provocatively, like a little hedgehog with all its spikes standing up, ready to prick him into a thousand holes at any time, and would not be reconciled.

His handsome face was tight and his black eyes narrowed, staring at her silently crying.

Lian Yingtong wiped away her tears fiercely, "Why don't you ask Xin Bin if she is wrong? She fainted from the fright, and she will wake up later. You can ask her what is wrong. If she can tell you, I will Just reflect on yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, Murong Yuchi pinched her jaw with such force that it hurt her, and anger was clearly welling up in his dark eyes.

Murong Yuchi was terribly angry, Lian Yingtong didn't know it, but this time she was isolated, she felt sad and wronged, and she had to face him for protecting Xin Mei, as well as the inexplicable blame and anger towards her.

Why did she have to bear this pain alone?So she would rather hurt herself, and at the same time, let Murong Yuchi feel how much pain she has, these are what he has always imposed on her.

"Oh, I forgot, Sim Mae can't talk, so you'll never ask her. Because what she does is right and what I do is wrong!"

He pinched her small and delicate chin, and the strength hurt her more and more.

"Listen to me, I don't want to hear anyone mentioning Xin Mei's shortcomings in the palace!" Murong Yuchi smiled extraordinarily coquettishly when he was angry, "Let's not say whether Xin Mei is right or not, what about you? You What did you do right again? You kept telling me that you liked Murong Bixiao, and even wanted to disobey me for this man. But when you turned around, the man next to you became Qi Beiyao. Lian Yingtong, while you like a man, you can Getting intimate with other men? You are such a grown man, yet you seduce a man to fall in love with you!"

Her beautiful eyes widened, the blood in her whole body seemed to be frozen, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Because I said Xin Mei's shortcomings, so you have to slander my reputation! Murong Yuchi, you are the one who is the least qualified to say that I am!" Lian Yingtong waved his hand vigorously, "If you want to say something wrong, don't you have it? !"

It was he who started it. He disrupted her life, but in the end he blamed her for the unwarranted accusations!
"I raised you, pampered you, held you in my hands like pearls and treasures, what did I do wrong?" Murong Yuchi poked her brow with his fingertips, with a hint of helplessness in his angry voice, "But What about you? Is a person who doesn't even know how to reciprocate worthy of such pampering? Heartless thing!"

Don't know how to reciprocate, heartless... So that's how he sees her...

Lian Yingtong closed her eyes and let the tears flow, but only for a moment, she opened her eyes, the clear eyes were covered with frost, it was the first time that Murong Yuchi saw the complicated emotions in her eyes.

"I don't know how to repay, I'm heartless, you're right! To a person who killed more than a hundred members of the Lian family, how should I repay, how should I take out my heart and put it in front of you? So no matter how many men I seduce/attract, don’t worry, I will not seduce my blood relatives, I still know what shame is, I don’t know how to reciprocate, no matter how heartless, I am still a person anyway. Unlike some people You clearly know that morality should not be messed up, but you try your best to force others to submit, my good uncle, what are you like this!"

Approaching the handsome face in front of her, her black pupils were darker than Ziye's, Lian Yingtong's heartbeat gradually beat like a beating, provoking Murong Yuchi's anger, hitting his sore spots, watching him get hurt and angry, only in this way did she have a sense of revenge carefree.

Should have smiled more happily, she won again.There was some itching in the nose, and then something warm dripped down, Lian Yingtong reached out to wipe it.

It was blood, she was stunned, the blood quickly fell on the back of her hand one drop after another, she wiped it again, the blood gushed out as if it couldn't stop.

She didn't feel dizzy, but her eyes quickly blurred.

It was vaguely visible that the man who stepped forward to hug her had a panicked expression, calling her anxiously and worriedly.

"Little boy, don't move!"

She hated him for calling her that. She was not his woman, and she never wanted to have anything to do with this man again.

Lian Yingtong hadn't had a dream for a long time. In the dream, she was wearing a bright red dress and waiting for Murong Bixiao under the dragon and phoenix flower candles. Someone raised her hijab, and she looked up at those beautiful eyes. couple.

However, Murong Yuchi suddenly appeared, he killed Murong Bixiao with a single sword, and then pulled her hard, he was so strong that he wanted to tear her apart before he was willing, his voice was icy cold.

"Tongtong, uncle loves you and forbids you to marry another man!"

He pulled her across Murong Bixiao's body, and then set her on fire. The flames shot up into the sky, and Lian Yingtong cried loudly, "Xuanzhi, Xuanzhi...Murong Yuchi, I hate you to death!"

Murong Yuchi always wanted to destroy the things and people she cherished the most, leaving her alone in this world, and then had to accept the warmth he forcibly gave and the love she didn't want at all.

Xuanzhi?

Murong Yuchi frowned tightly, another man in Lian Yingtong's heart?It was so important that she cried and chanted this name when she was in a coma, and his name was always connected with her hatred.

The golden needle in Murong Huaixiu's hand quickly and accurately pierced Lian Yingtong's acupoint again, she frowned slightly and snorted, half-closed her eyelids and looked blankly, then closed them again and she was still in a coma.

Murong Yuchi held her hand, the coolness penetrated into his heart through the skin, her hand was still so cold in midsummer.

"Brother Huang, I have thought about something for a long time and decided to say it."

"What happened to her body?" Murong Yuchi looked away from Lian Yingtong's face, staring at Murong Huaixiu gloomily.

Murong Huaixiu's heart sank suddenly, his brother was always so nervous about his little niece.

"I didn't want to hide it, I couldn't be sure before. She was seriously injured before, so it's not bad to be able to save her life to this day. Brother Huang, you have found a lot of ancient prescriptions to treat her and recuperate her. These are not harmful to her. However, my little niece has been getting sick recently, and I remember that when I took her pulse, I found something abnormal, so I concluded that someone must have secretly drugged my little niece."

Drugs?Murong Yuchi's dark eyes became even darker.

"The younger brother knows that the emperor's brother is careful about the little niece, but the person who prescribes the medicine is very clever, and even the younger brother didn't investigate for a while. But this person definitely didn't intend to harm her."

"Prescribing the medicine is not to harm her, is it to save her?"

"At present, this is indeed the case, just like the poison that is properly controlled is the best medicine for saving lives. I checked the records of the imperial physician who was in charge of taking care of the little niece before. The medicines used are contradictory, and the little niece is emotional..." Murong Huaixiu glanced at him who lowered his eyebrows in thought, "Brother Huang, Xin Mei means something different to you, what about the little niece? You used to spoil her so much, suddenly Indifference to her, she made it like this because she was too angry and sad, you said she is your life, do you even want her life?"

When Murong Huaixiu finally left, she turned around and looked at the silent Murong Yuchi, lowered her eyebrows and eyes, so soft and even a little fragile, just quietly watching her in a coma.

He knew that the relationship between the two should be unusual, and there was really no one who could make the emperor care about him all these years, even if it was Xin Mei in the past, the emperor still had a subtle difference between her and his little niece.

In the front yard of Bailu Hall, Xin Mei appeared in front of Murong Huaixiu, he was slightly taken aback.

"Sister Mei, long time no see."

Xin Mei, who was always defiant, smiled at Murong Huaixiu in surprise.

Seeing that she was holding a teacup in her hand, he said, "Brother Huang is taking care of my little niece."

Sime shook her head and pointed at him.

"Sister Mei makes the tea herself, Huaixiu is lucky." He immediately understood that the person Xin Mei wanted to meet was him.

The two sat down not far away, the moonlight was clear and cool, and the night wind blew from time to time, a rare cool night in midsummer.

"Sister Mei's craftsmanship is still the same, there is no second person with such good craftsmanship in the palace." He praised with a smile.

Xin Mei smiled lightly and gestured unhurriedly, he watched intently, and suddenly asked in confusion: "As a man, Huaixiu really doesn't understand a woman's mind, you made her almost fall off the horse, why are you suddenly concerned about her condition? "

Xin Mei dipped her fingertips in water and wrote on the stone table. After reading it, Murong Huaixiu looked very hard to make a choice, "You, you insist on doing this? Brother Huang won't let you do this!"

She nodded resolutely, looked meaningfully at the place where Murong Yuchi was, with a little warmth in her cold eyes, and a warm smile could not help but spread out on her ice-like face.

If it wasn't for him, why would she bother.
