Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 3 The Murderer
"Cough cough!"

When Xie Jinhua was lying on the bank, coughing heart-piercingly, everyone who was on the other side also surrounded her, and a dress with a little sandalwood scent was draped over her shoulders, giving her a cold feeling. His body brought some warmth, and King Qi’s anxious voice rang in his ears: "Huaer, how are you? Hurry up and prepare hot water to dry your clothes! And invite the Chinese medicine practitioners here!"

While speaking, King Qi stretched out his hand to half-support Xie Jinhua up.

Xie Jinhua is now sure that she is not dreaming. After all, what she sees in front of her eyes is too real, and the pain she feels is too real. She reaches out to block King Qi's supporting hand: "Thank you brother-in-law, cough cough, men and women can't kiss each other. Forgive me."

Her eyes were full of rejection.

Those around who originally thought she was a little ignorant of good people who had repeatedly rejected King Qi's kindness, now listened to her explanation, but showed appreciation for Xie Jinhua in their eyes.

Although noble women in Shengjing have a lot more freedom than folk women and can meet and talk with men before marriage, they still advocate women's chastity in general.

Thinking of Xie Jinhua, who would rather sink to the bottom of the lake than be touched by those boys and the king of Qi, even the person she rescued later was just a boy who was not tall enough. Will be so persistent.

This comparison makes many men feel that she has a chaste temperament.

If Xie Jinhua heard the voices of these people, she would probably laugh three times. Even though she was the princess of Qi in her previous life, she never had anything to do with the word Zhenlie.

From the beginning, she used her beauty to seduce her brother-in-law, and deliberately fell into the water to attract King Qi to have a physical relationship with her. Later, a series of things happened. Her reputation was bad to a certain extent, and she didn't know why King Qi was so "kind" 'I was still willing to take over her, and gave her the title of Princess Qi.

Even though she has only been the second concubine of Qi Wang for more than ten years.

But Xie Jinhua doesn't have much time to think about those irrelevant people around her now, her eyes are looking around, looking for something.

"What about Qin?"

There are pairs of concerned eyes around, but there are no gloomy and somewhat indifferent eyes.

Qin Zheng quietly climbed out of the water from the other side, looked at Xie Jinhua who was surrounded by the crowd and caressed him from a distance, stroked the hand he had held Xie Jinhua just now, his eyes were very pale, he looked at her Zhang Mu looked for something, turned around and left quietly.

The Second Miss of the Xie family has never been short of caring people. He saved her only to repay the affection that the other party gave him a bottle of wound medicine for him that day.

Qin Zheng left quietly, and Xie Jinhua naturally couldn't find anyone here.

"Second Miss Xie meant to save your servant just now. I don't know which one is so long-hearted. Saving my sister is what he should do as a servant of Prince Rui's mansion. Speaking of which, if he doesn't look big, he will touch it. If I touch the Second Miss of the Xie family, I will definitely kill him to keep the Second Miss innocent."

Princess Anle spoke, and pointed at the maid beside her: "Don't you help Second Miss Xie to change and wash? Fortunately, Second Miss Xie didn't have any accidents in Prince Rui's Mansion today, otherwise, I really can't say goodbye The fault is that the birthday banquet is not held."

Princess Anle's words contained obvious meaning, accusing Xie Jinhua of almost ruining her banquet.

"Don't blame the second sister, princess. It's all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't keep an eye on the second sister, which made the second sister almost have an accident."

Xie Jinyao bit her lip, with an expression of ready to cry.

"Yao'er, how can I blame you, Second Miss Xie is older than you, but she didn't know that it's better not to wander around other people's mansions, and this happened."

The daughter of the Xu family, whom Xie Jinyao had a good relationship with, squinted at Xie Jinhua, saying so.

Xie Jinhua withdrew his gaze from looking around, and turned to look at Xie Jinyao who was about to cry.

"Third sister, ahem, didn't you ask me to look for earrings with you? This is an earring. I accidentally found it after falling into the water."

Xie Jinhua opened one hand that was half-held all the time, and a silver lotus-shaped earring on it was shining in the sun, extremely delicate.

Someone subconsciously looked at Xie Jinyao.

"Hey, Yaoer, where is your left earring?"

Xie Jinyao's pair of lotus flower earrings is extremely exquisite, but it has caught Xu's daughter secretly paying attention to it for a long time.

Xie Jinyao subconsciously covered her empty ear on the left, and put it down pretending to be natural after noticing the difference in vision around her, with a guilty expression on her face: "Second sister, I just asked you to help me find earrings together, Lily and Baimo also I went to look for it, but I didn't expect the second sister to find this way, but the tired second sister slipped and fell into the water, I don't want this earring!"

While talking, Xie Jinyao tore off the pendant from her right ear with shaking hands, and threw it into the grass.

Xie Jinyao's defense seemed natural, but in fact there were many mistakes and omissions. After all, she said a lot of "good things" about Xie Jinhua in front of everyone, but she didn't mention that Xie Jinhua was looking for a pendant for her.

Under her downcast eyes was the light of hatred, she hated Xie Jin to save face for her and expose her in public.

Seeing Xie Jinyao's behavior, Xie Jinhua felt disgusted, but his face was bitter: "After all, this was specially made by mother for you. You have always liked it, but I am so tired that you discarded your beloved thing."

"Can you help me to wash up!"

Xie Jinhua didn't say anything more, but she didn't need to say any more, there were no fools present.

Many young masters looked at her disappearing figure, and couldn't help showing pity in their eyes. They looked at Xie Jinyao with displeasure, and even the young ladies quietly moved away from Xie Jinyao.

"I remember just now, Yao'er, you seem to have been to the lake."

The daughter of the Xu family said seemingly unintentionally.

Xie Jinyao clenched her hands tightly, and the handkerchief was clenched into a ball. She felt extremely isolated and helpless, and couldn't help but looked at King Qi who was a little lost in thought: "Brother-in-law."

She called to him, with a faint light of pleading for help in her eyes.

King Qi frowned imperceptibly. In the past, he thought Xie Jinyao was pretty cute, but today he was so reckless. Thinking of Xie Jin's pale lips, he looked at Xie Jinyao with displeasure.
"I did see Yao'er walking by the lake just now, and thinking of the danger here, I persuaded her to leave. I think that's when she lost her pendant."

The King of Qi opened his mouth and testified, even if he had doubts, he wanted to appear convinced, but it was just an appearance.

-

Xie Jinhua soaked in hot water, and after being soaked in the ice lake, his stiff body eased bit by bit, but the extreme cold suddenly met the heat, but it was tingling and uncomfortable.

Xie Jinhua felt the pain in every inch of her body, and thinking of Xie Jinyao's embarrassment just now, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Xie Jinhua stretched out her jade-like fingertips, twisting the silver lotus flower pendant on her vaporous fingertips, shaking it gently, the delicate lotus pattern came into view, it was not designed by herself pattern?

With a slight lift of the fingertips, the lotus pendant was thrown to the ground without any regrets.

The only difference between the previous life and the present life is that she was willing to defend Xie Jinyao in the previous life, but now, she is not willing.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the door was slammed open, and Lily, who had always been stable, rushed into the room with anxiety on her face: "Miss, how are you doing? I heard that you fell into the water, what are you doing?" Will fall into the water, didn't you go there with the third miss? Don't the third miss call for someone on the spot?"

Lily's words were full of dissatisfaction with Xie Jinyao.

In her previous life, Lily had always had doubts about Xie Jinyao, but unfortunately Xie Jinhua wholeheartedly regarded Xie Jinyao as the most important little sister, and she never looked at or thought about it even though there were so many doubts and flaws.

Xie Jinhua reached out and patted Lily's arm, and said with a smile under the hateful eyes of the other party: "I will be careful in the future."

"Miss, woo, fortunately you are fine, if you have something, what can we do, Lily, don't say anything, Miss San, I saw her waiting outside and said that she wanted to come to Miss you Apologies, I guess she was also frightened for a while."

The one who came in after crying was Baimo.
