Chapter 147
Chapter 147
The shopkeeper of the Shuyu Pavilion unfolded the portrait that Yu Ruyan had given her, and after seeing the person in the portrait clearly, he frowned unconsciously!
He put the portrait back on the table and said in a low voice, "What does the girl want to know?"
What the shopkeeper said meant that he knew the person in the portrait!
The portrait unfolded quietly on the table, An Ge and Dongcao couldn't help but stare at it, they were all taken aback.
The person in the portrait is none other than Kuang Qinqin, the concubine who disappeared in the mansion for several days without news!
Brother An was very curious about why Yu Ruyan came here to inquire about Aunt Kuang's news, but Dongcao was trembling uncontrollably, her little face turned pale!
Yu Ruyan didn't need to look at her expression anymore, she took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If the shopkeeper has time, I want to know everything about her!"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and finally poured out everything he knew about Kuang Qinqin to Yu Ruyan——
"About five or six years ago, it was the busiest time for Yuejia's business, and Yuejia would personally take care of the business matters in each store. Xiao Ke remembered that at that time, when Yuejia often came to the store, Always follow a girl, that's the one in the portrait, I hear her being called by the head of the house, it seems her name is Qinqin!"
"Because the head of the family has never had a wife, and this girl is also good-looking, so many fellows discussed in private at that time. Some people said that she was the future wife of the head of the family, while others said she was not. Both sides argued endlessly. Later, someone quietly I went to ask Qing Cha, the closest servant around the head of the house, and Qing Cha said that the girl was just a girl accidentally rescued by the head of the house, and she was just serving the head of the house, not a lady!"
"I don't know if it was Qingcha who passed on the words of the guys to Master Yue. Since then, I have never seen the head of the family bring that girl out again. So, as time goes by, everyone gradually forgets about her... "
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's tone paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face, Yu Ruyan knew that there were successors, so she didn't rush him, but silently poured a cup of tea and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said softly: " Please drink tea!"
The shopkeeper took the teacup in her hand in trepidation, took half a sip carefully, and spoke again.
"There has been no news of this Qinqin girl since then. Many people in the Yue family said that she may be married. Xiao Ke originally thought so, but unexpectedly, just a few days ago, an official letter was suddenly issued within the Yue family. , disqualified her from being a family member, and no longer treat her as a family member."
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. She looked at the shopkeeper in a daze and asked, "Why did you cancel her status as a Yue family member? What did she do?"
The shopkeeper also looked puzzled, frowned and said: "The specific reason is because of Xiao Ke, but I don't know about it, but the Yue family does have such a rule. If you make a mistake, you will be disqualified from the Yue family."
After that, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, looked at Yu Ruyan in confusion and said, "From what the girl said, it seems that she doesn't understand the rules of our Yue family? Isn't the girl already a Yue family!"
After hearing his words, Yu Ruyan was confused, and said in a daze: "This is the first time I've heard of the Yue family, and I'm not the Yue family either!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression was startled, and he was surprised: "The girl actually has a token feather card from our Yue family, how could she not be from the Yue family? This kind of feather card, except for the head of the Yue family and the girl, our Yue family has no other feather card." Anyone who has owned three of them before knows that seeing a feather card is like seeing a master, and this is the only token of the master.”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yu Ruyan was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously took out the simple and elegant bamboo plaque that she was carrying with her, staring at it, her heart couldn't stop being fluctuated——
I really didn't expect that the sign Yue Yu gave her was actually his only keepsake, no wonder that every time she showed this sign in Yue's shop, those guys were very respectful to her, it turned out that this was the reason!
Yu Ruyan suppressed the turmoil in her heart, showed the feather badge to the shopkeeper, and said hesitantly: "You... are you sure that this badge is the only token of the Yue family? It... What is the use of it?"
The shopkeeper was so in awe of the feather card that he didn't even dare to touch it, and said in an affirmative tone: "Actually, after this feather card was given to the girl, the owner of the house specially notified all the shops of the Yue family, saying that it was Seeing Yupai is like seeing him!"
"No matter what kind of request the girl puts forward, she will definitely meet it. To put it bluntly, the more the master is equivalent to sharing all his property and things that belong to him with the girl, even if the girl took out this card that day, the It is also possible to sell all the store property of the Yue family."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked. She looked at the small feather badge in her hand in disbelief. She never thought that it contained all the wealth owned by Yue Yu, and it could even be said to include all the wealth of the Yue family. thing!
Everyone in the world knows that the Yue family's business is spread all over the world. They only know that they are wealthy, but they don't know how much property the Yue family has. However, Yue Yu gave all of such inexhaustible and immeasurable wealth. her!
The little feather card in her hand became extremely heavy in an instant, Yu Ruyan's hand trembled, and she almost dropped it to the ground!
Almost in the next second, the idea of returning the feather card to Yue Yu had sprouted in her heart. This feather card was too precious, and she already owed him too much kindness, how could she still take such a precious thing from him!
But since we left the battlefield a few months ago, she has never heard from him again. She went to the Yue's store in Qi State to inquire, but found nothing. Since then, Yue Yu seems to have disappeared without a trace, let her go Where can I find him, and how can she return his only token? !
The shopkeeper retreated silently, leaving only Yu Ruyan, An Ge and Dongcao in the private room.
Yu Ruyan sat with a frown, after all, Brother An has been by her side for so many years, and he somehow guessed her thoughts, knowing that she knew Yue Yu's thoughts, felt uneasy, and could not help but softly persuaded: " Don't think too much, princess. When Mr. Yue gave you the feather card, the princess didn't know the meaning of the feather card. The princess is a good person. , Princess, don’t feel guilty, just like returning his precious scarlet dress back then, if you see him again in the future, just return this feather card to him.”
After listening to Brother An's persuasion, Yu Ruyan solemnly put the feather badge close to her body, and never dared to take it out casually again.She originally wanted to put the feather card with the shopkeeper and ask him to return it to Yue Yu on his behalf, but she was worried about giving such an important thing to others, so she had to keep it in person, and then return it to Yue Yu face to face Yu was relieved.
Thinking of this, she no longer struggled, and got up to leave Shuyu Hall.
Seeing that the carriage was not heading towards the palace, Brother An looked at the sky outside, turned his head and said to Yu Ruyan: "Princess, it's getting late, I'm afraid His Royal Highness has come back from the palace, so we don't want to go back." ?"
Yu Ruyan didn't answer her words, but stared straight at Dongcao sitting in the corner, and said in a cool tone: "I want to take Dongcao to meet her former master. Dongcao, are you happy?"
Hearing this, Dong Cao's whole body trembled, her body swayed, and she slid to the ground, her face was ashen, she bowed her head and knelt in front of Yu Ruyan.
Looking at her description like this, even though Yu Ruyan understood the truth in her heart, she still couldn't stop the trembling in her heart——
When Gu Qing'er died of arsenic poisoning, all the evidence pointed to her, making people think that she was the murderer who poisoned and killed Gu Qing'er.
She took the medicine for Gu Qing'er, and after Ziluoyuan was closed, no one else had any contact with Ziluoyuan, only she walked around in Ziluoyuan, and everyone in the palace knew that Gu Qing'er was very sad before She has had hatred with her many times, so all of this makes people have to believe that the murderer who killed Gu Qing'er was her Yu Ruyan.
After she was imprisoned at that time, she had been thinking hard in her heart, among the female relatives of the palace, who killed Gu Qing'er?And she knew in her heart that the murderer not only wanted to kill Gu Qing'er, mother and son, but also took the opportunity to blame her, and at the same time took her life...
So, she checked in her mind the female relatives in the palace who hated her—
When the incident happened, apart from Gu Qing'er herself, there were five other female family members in the palace. She ruled out Huaying and Kuang Qinqin first, because these two not only saved her life, they would not harm her, and they did not compete for favor in the mansion. Therefore, Gu Qing'er and the child in her stomach will not be their hands.
Only the side concubine An Lirong, his wife An Lan, and Chen Yanfei who had just been raised as his aunt were left.
An Lirong has a grudge against her, but she planted yellow heart grass on Gu Qing'er to make her a living dead, just wanting the child in her belly, so even if she wants to kill her, she won't do it again when Gu Qing'er is about to give birth For her life and the child in her womb, An Lirong was the first to rule it out.
And Chen Yanfei had only been raised as an aunt for a few days at that time. Although she hated Yu Ruyan, but hearing her beg for copper coins in the garden, she had always wanted to be favored by Mu Lingzhi at that time, and she would not have just become an aunt. It's also unreasonable for Gu Qing'er to die.
The only one left was An Lan. Although she was the most suspected, she had never even approached the door of Ziluoyuan, so she had no chance of poisoning her.
After investigating one by one, it seems that no one has much suspicion.It wasn't until she returned to the palace and found Dongcao, the maidservant who served Gu Qing'er, that she found some clues from her.
If her calculation is true, then the person who killed Gu Qing'er was really beyond her expectations!
Brother An didn't know why, so he asked with a confused face: "Her original master? Princess, who is her original master?"
Yu Ruyan looked at Dongcao with cold eyes, and said indifferently: "Dongcao, now, don't you have anything in your heart that you want to confess to me?"
Dongcao knelt in front of Yu Ruyan, her whole body curled up into a ball, not daring to look into Yu Ruyan's eyes, she felt that as long as she looked at her, the secret in her heart would not be concealed.
She trembled and said: "The servant is guilty of hiding her background from the master. In fact, the servant was a maid in Qin Xianglou before entering the palace. Because she was afraid that the people in the palace would look down on her, she concealed it without authorization when she entered the palace. Please forgive me, master!"
Yu Ruyan already knew these things, she said coldly: "Not only did you come from Qin Xianglou, but your previous master was Aunt Kuang from the palace, so you don't want to sell yourself for money, and you don't want to be paid to stay in the mansion, just for Is it right to repay her kindness to you?"
Dongcao knew that she couldn't hide it from her, so she nodded silently and said: "The master is right. When the servant girl was in Qinxianglou, she served Master Kuang. They redeemed their bodies together, and gave the servants money to return to their hometowns to start a new life. However, the servants’ parents died, and they had no brothers and sisters. They were single and lonely, so they thought it would be better to enter the palace and continue to serve Master Kuang, so they found the palace. up..."
"Then why didn't you go to Bihe Courtyard to serve after you entered the mansion? You entered Ziluo Courtyard but she let you go?" What Dongcao said was not much different from what she had guessed. The truth seemed to be approaching step by step, even though she had already With the answer, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.
Yu Ruyan also couldn't figure out what Yu Ruyan asked about Dongcao. She thought that when she went to see Kuang Qinqin after entering the palace, she thought she would be happy to accept her, but unexpectedly, when she saw him, she not only refused to keep her by her side Waiting, still very angry...
She murmured: "Master Kuang said it was pitiful that Master Gu was pregnant and no one would take care of her, so I asked Mama Liu to take care of her, but the slaves couldn't figure out why Master Kuang refused to let her go when she first entered the mansion. I'll serve her by her side..."
"That's because she has too many secrets, and she doesn't want you to get too close to her to let you know!"
Before Dongcao could speak, Yu Ruyan coldly interrupted her.
Hearing this, Dongcao looked up at Yu Ruyan in disbelief, but she had already closed her eyes with exhaustion.
There is nothing to doubt anymore, when I learned from Dongcao that the moment Kuang Qinqin arranged for her to enter the Violet Courtyard, the truth became clear.
While speaking, the coachman had arrived at the place where Yu Ruyan was going. Brother An helped her get off the carriage. When he saw the familiar courtyard wall, Brother An was slightly taken aback——
In front of them, the plaque hanging on the gate of the familiar courtyard read the four characters of "Wuwei Medical Center".
Brother An wondered: "Young Master Yue has long since ceased to see patients in Wuwei Clinic, why is the princess still here?"
Yu Ruyan suppressed the panic and suffocation in her heart, and sighed: "I didn't come to look for Brother Da, if I guessed correctly, Aunt Kuang must be here."
After all, she took a deep breath and stepped forward to push open the courtyard door first.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed. When they entered, they saw medicinal herbs drying on the shelves in the courtyard. The courtyard looked clean, and under the eaves, there were two or three people in rags sitting in line. Seeing a doctor, everything in front of him is actually the same as when Yue Yu was there.
Brother An already thought that Yue Yu was back, so he couldn't help but excitedly said to Yu Ruyan: "Princess, it seems that Mr. Yue is back, it's really great!"
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, but didn't say a word.
Soon the patients in front had finished their treatment and left. Yu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the room slowly.
At the moment when the door curtain was lifted, when she saw the white figure behind the desk, for a moment, Yu Ruyan felt in a trance that the person inside was Yue Yu!
Time seems to go back to the time when she first brought An Ge here to seek medical treatment. He was dressed in white and snowy, sitting quietly in front of the case, with a gentle and amiable face, treating poor people for free. ...
But the next moment, the person who was writing quickly at the desk raised his head, his eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
Although it was expected, Yu Ruyan was quite surprised when she saw Kuang Qinqin dressed as a young man in white and appeared in Yue Yu's room, and Kuang Qinqin was so shocked that his eyes dropped when he saw her. Out.
The next moment, Kuang Qinqin seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, and the wolf in his hand trembled slightly, and a cloud of ink fell onto the rice paper with a bang.
And on the rice paper in front of her, the general outline of a man has been drawn, that outline is very familiar, especially those clear and gentle eyes that make people unable to move away!
Yu Ruyan immediately recognized the person in the painting as Yue Yu!
Kuang Qinqin's painting is good. Yue Yu in the portrait, his facial expression and shape are very similar to his own imagination. Even his elegant and gentle temperament jumps out of the paper, making people who watch the painting feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing that Yu Ruyan noticed the portrait on the case, Kuang Qinqin's icy expression flashed a trace of panic, but she did not hide it, and gently put down the wolf hair in her hand, and said in a cold voice: "The new princess is not in the palace and stay well. , how did you come to such a dirty and dilapidated place?"
Yu Ruyan smiled slowly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she said calmly: "I have to ask you this, you are an aunt of the palace, but you are a man pretending to be a doctor here. why?"
There was no panic on Kuang Qinqin's face, and he said coldly: "In the eyes of His Highness, you are the only one, and you have already regarded the entire palace's female family members as passers-by. For an unfavored aunt like me, there are not many others in the palace. It's okay without me. Why stay in the palace and get in the way."
Yu Ruyan felt chills in her heart, she looked at Kuang Qinqin who was dressed as a man in front of her, even though she was wearing men's clothes, she still couldn't conceal her natural beauty, she was very handsome in men's clothes, but when she thought about what she had done, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "If my aunt said something like this before, I would have believed it, because my aunt has always kept aloof from the world in the mansion, she didn't compete for favor, she didn't want to be famous, and she didn't get along with other people. Just shut the door and live your own life."
"To be honest, I have always envied my aunt's indifferent and casual temperament before, as if she took everything in the world lightly and looked away, and lived a carefree life. But now I know that I am blind."
"It's not that Auntie doesn't fight or grab, but Auntie's sincerity has never been placed in the mansion, nor in His Highness's heart. That's why she doesn't care about everything. Am I right?"
As Yu Ruyan said, her eyes lingered on the portrait on the desk. What she meant made Kuang Qinqin unable to calm down any longer. His face blushed, but he did not refute, and retorted: "Since the princess knows , why are you still looking for me to go back? The less people in the back house of His Highness, the princess should be happier?"
Yu Ruyan ignored the sarcasm in her words, she said word by word: "Earlier when His Highness heard that Auntie was missing, he immediately sent someone to look for it. At that time, His Highness ordered that if you die, find a place to bury you properly. Now, if you are not dead, there is no need to take you back, just let you go."
"You should know that His Highness has left room for you. Although he is usually indifferent, he didn't kill you completely, but what did you do to him, what did you do in his back house? Are you clear? If you want to calculate this account carefully, who owes whom more?"
Kuang Qinqin suddenly understood the meaning of her words, her face turned pale immediately, she turned her face away and said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about?"
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and said with a dull expression: "When Gu Shi died, I was almost executed by Concubine Xie Gui, and then I was imprisoned in a prison cell. Gu Shi and I want to kill two birds with one stone at once. I have thought about and doubted everyone, but I never thought it would be you, because I always thought that in the dark back house of the palace, You and Huaying are good people worthy of trust and friendship..."
"Thinking about it now, the person you really want to kill is me, and Gu Shi is just an innocent pawn in the trap you designed to take revenge on me. Aunt Kuang, am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Kuang Qinqin was shocked, but Brother An was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. On the contrary, Dongcao, who had been calm since he came in, now has a calm expression, but the trembling of the whole body is still the same. She betrayed her true emotions at the moment!
Kuang Qinqin recovered from the shock, although his expression was flustered, he gritted his teeth and retorted: "Unexpectedly, the new concubine came here to make up stories to slander me for her sudden visit, heh, is it because Concubine Xie Guifei is still grabbing Gu Qing'er You will not let go, so you are anxious to find someone to cover this matter for you, so that Concubine Xie can accept you again! But don't forget, everything must be based on the basis, although I am just a little aunt, but you want to murder I'm afraid I have to come up with evidence."
Yu Ruyan's little affection for her also dissipated, and she said coldly: "Since I can find you here, it means that I have sorted out all the ins and outs of the matter, and I will not wrong you in vain."
After that, she pointed to the portrait on the desk, and said unexpectedly: "You can draw someone who is not in front of you so clearly with just your imagination, you can see that his every move, every eyebrow and every glance are carved into your bone marrow, From now on, it is not difficult to see that the person Aunt Kuang has always admired is Mr. Yue."
As soon as this remark came out, Kuang Qinqin was stunned, and stood there stupidly, without making a sound to refute, there was madness, pain, and viciousness in his cold eyes.
"But one thing I don't understand is, since you have your own heart, why did you fall into the Qinxiang Tower in the end? Why did you wrong yourself to marry into the palace when you clearly didn't like His Highness in your heart? Can you tell me why all this is because of it? ?”
Speaking of this point, Kuang Qinqin's sophistry is meaningless. In fact, from the moment Yu Ruyan entered the door, she had thought in her heart that she might be exposed for poisoning Gu Shi and framing her!
She was not afraid of being discovered, nor was she afraid of being taken back to feed Gu Shi, but she was not reconciled, she touched something in her bosom, and in the next second, her icy eyes flashed fiercely!
Kuang Qinqin looked at Dongcao fiercely, and said with a sneer, "What a white-eyed wolf, if you have a new master, you will sell the old master immediately."
Dongcao's mouth moved with difficulty, just as she was about to explain to her weakly, Kuang Qinqin turned his head and looked at Yu Ruyan fiercely, and said coldly: "I put the poison on, what do you want to do with me now?"
Hearing her confession, Yu Ruyan's heart sank into an abyss. It should be a happy thing to find the real culprit, but she couldn't be happy at all.
She gritted her teeth to suppress the coldness all over her body, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Kill to pay for your life, since you did it, you can follow me back to the palace, and His Highness will personally determine your guilt!"
Hearing this, Kuang Qinqin suddenly raised her head and burst out laughing. She laughed wildly and recklessly, her entire face was distorted, but tears rolled down her smooth face...
The sun was setting, and the light in the house was gradually dimming. In the dim halo, she was dressed in white clothes, which was extraordinarily dazzling. The bun on her head was unfurled, and the blue hair that reached her calves was windless and automatic. It reveals a strange and stern beauty, which makes people feel cold!
The laughter stopped abruptly, Kuang Qinqin stopped the laughter and suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Ruyan, and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, you alone can't take me away, and those secret guards will not catch me if they want to catch me." Difficult. But I am willing to go back with you, as long as you help me accomplish one thing."
Yu Ruyan shuddered when she heard the words, she never thought that Kuang Qinqin would know martial arts!
She knew that what she said was right, if she was allowed to escape this time, it would be even more impossible to arrest her and bring her back to justice in the future.
But she also knew that Kuang Qinqin hated her, so what she wanted to help would definitely not be a good thing, so Yu Ruyan hesitated for a while, what should she do?
However, at this moment, her eyes blurred, and Kuang Qinqin actually appeared in front of her like a ghost, and in the next second, a hand ruthlessly grabbed Yu Ruyan's neck, with a sharp point on his hand. Her nails immediately pinched her neck with blood marks!
The sudden change frightened Brother An and Dongcao to scream, and Brother An's first reaction was to pounce on Kuang Qinqin, but Kuang Qinqin's figure was like a ghost, and he was already choking Yu Ruyan's neck and took him away. Watching her rush out of the house and onto the high roof!
Brother An's heart was about to jump out of fright, and he chased them out together with Dongcao, but when they came to the yard, there was no one outside, but there was a scolding sound from the roof. Brother looked up at the roof, and was so frightened that all his souls flew away!
On the high roof, Kuang Qinqin held Yu Ruyan in one hand and stood on the edge of the eaves. Yu Ruyan's whole body was hanging in the air. When the night wind blew, her concubine-colored dress fluttered and danced in the wind. That description seems to be about to fall off the roof at any time and be smashed to pieces!
Around Kuang Qinqin, five hidden guards also surrounded Kuang Qinqin with cold sweat all over their bodies, but fearing Yu Ruyan's crisis, none of them dared to act rashly.
Brother An was so frightened that her legs went limp and she was about to faint. She was at a loss as to what to do, so she had to kneel down and cried to Kuang Qinqin on the roof: "Aunt Kuang, please, please let me go!" Princess, you...you arrest the servant and replace the princess!"
Dongcao also knelt down side by side with Brother An with a 'puff', and begged her in the same way: "Master Kuang, let the princess go, you have already done something wrong, you can't make any more mistakes, the fate of this servant is If your Highness wants someone to take the life of Master Gu, this servant is willing to die for Master Kuang... this servant is an accomplice, I am sorry for Master Gu, this servant is willing to apologise with death!"
The hidden guard who was confronting Kuang Qinqin on the roof also sternly said: "Put down the princess, and spare your life!"
But no matter what they said, Kuang Qinqin didn't have the slightest intention to let people go. She coldly glanced at Yu Ruyan, whose face was pale but extremely calm, in her hand, and couldn't help sneering: "Princess is so courageous, to such an extent She didn't change her expression. But don't worry Wangfei, although I hate you, I said that as long as Wangfei helps me accomplish something, I won't hurt you."
After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and said to An Ge below: "Go back to the mansion and tell Mu Lingzhi to come to Wangyue Pavilion to find me, but if you want me to let him go, let me meet someone first!"
"Who do you want to see?" Before Brother An could make a sound, the leading hidden guard asked impatiently.
"You ask your highness to find a way to make Yue Yu, the head of the Yue family, show up. As soon as he shows up, I will release him immediately!" Kuang Qinqin's long hair was flying in the wind, and the moment he mentioned Yue Yu on his sharp face, he was shocked. It is unknowingly softened.
As soon as the words fell, she carried Yu Ruyanteng and flew towards the Moon Pavilion, her cold voice came from the wind——
"I don't give you much time. If you don't see Yue Yu before dawn, you can go to Wangyue Pavilion to collect the body for your princess!"
Before Mu Lingzhi left the palace, he heard the secret guard report the conflict between Yu Ruyan and the eldest prince in Qin Xianglou. .
But when he arrived at Qin Xianglou, there was no sign of Yu Ruyan in the building, and the First Prince was gone, only puddles of blood remained on the ground, and the people of Qin Xianglou were washing them with water.
When he saw the blood stains on the ground, Mu Lingzhi's brain exploded——
He knew that the first prince and the Mu family had always wanted Yu Ruyan's life. Thinking of the danger of the altar last time, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but think that the blood on the ground was left by Yu Ruyan, and almost drew his sword to find Mu Yun. He fought desperately with Mu Ziyang, but fortunately the copper money caught a nurse in Qinxianglou and asked him, knowing that the blood was left by the old bustard of Qinxianglou, not Yu Ruyan, so Mu Lingzhi let go of his heart , and hurried back to the mansion to look for Yu Ruyan.
But when he rushed back to Yunsong Courtyard, Yu Ruyan was nowhere to be seen in the house, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help feeling flustered, and was about to go out to look for her.At this moment, the guard who was following Yu Ruyan ran back in a panic, and reported to Mu Lingzhi what happened in Wuwei Hospital and Kuang Qinqin's request.
When Mu Lingzhi rushed to Wangyue Pavilion with a white face, just one glance made him dizzy and almost fell off the horse——
On the Wangyue Pavilion, the tallest building in the Eastern Capital.In the night, on the high eaves of the top floor, Kuang Qinqin sat decadently, holding a wine pot in one hand and Yu Ruyan in the other, while Yu Ruyan's body was leaning against the eaves...
(End of this chapter)
The shopkeeper of the Shuyu Pavilion unfolded the portrait that Yu Ruyan had given her, and after seeing the person in the portrait clearly, he frowned unconsciously!
He put the portrait back on the table and said in a low voice, "What does the girl want to know?"
What the shopkeeper said meant that he knew the person in the portrait!
The portrait unfolded quietly on the table, An Ge and Dongcao couldn't help but stare at it, they were all taken aback.
The person in the portrait is none other than Kuang Qinqin, the concubine who disappeared in the mansion for several days without news!
Brother An was very curious about why Yu Ruyan came here to inquire about Aunt Kuang's news, but Dongcao was trembling uncontrollably, her little face turned pale!
Yu Ruyan didn't need to look at her expression anymore, she took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If the shopkeeper has time, I want to know everything about her!"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and finally poured out everything he knew about Kuang Qinqin to Yu Ruyan——
"About five or six years ago, it was the busiest time for Yuejia's business, and Yuejia would personally take care of the business matters in each store. Xiao Ke remembered that at that time, when Yuejia often came to the store, Always follow a girl, that's the one in the portrait, I hear her being called by the head of the house, it seems her name is Qinqin!"
"Because the head of the family has never had a wife, and this girl is also good-looking, so many fellows discussed in private at that time. Some people said that she was the future wife of the head of the family, while others said she was not. Both sides argued endlessly. Later, someone quietly I went to ask Qing Cha, the closest servant around the head of the house, and Qing Cha said that the girl was just a girl accidentally rescued by the head of the house, and she was just serving the head of the house, not a lady!"
"I don't know if it was Qingcha who passed on the words of the guys to Master Yue. Since then, I have never seen the head of the family bring that girl out again. So, as time goes by, everyone gradually forgets about her... "
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's tone paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face, Yu Ruyan knew that there were successors, so she didn't rush him, but silently poured a cup of tea and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said softly: " Please drink tea!"
The shopkeeper took the teacup in her hand in trepidation, took half a sip carefully, and spoke again.
"There has been no news of this Qinqin girl since then. Many people in the Yue family said that she may be married. Xiao Ke originally thought so, but unexpectedly, just a few days ago, an official letter was suddenly issued within the Yue family. , disqualified her from being a family member, and no longer treat her as a family member."
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. She looked at the shopkeeper in a daze and asked, "Why did you cancel her status as a Yue family member? What did she do?"
The shopkeeper also looked puzzled, frowned and said: "The specific reason is because of Xiao Ke, but I don't know about it, but the Yue family does have such a rule. If you make a mistake, you will be disqualified from the Yue family."
After that, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, looked at Yu Ruyan in confusion and said, "From what the girl said, it seems that she doesn't understand the rules of our Yue family? Isn't the girl already a Yue family!"
After hearing his words, Yu Ruyan was confused, and said in a daze: "This is the first time I've heard of the Yue family, and I'm not the Yue family either!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression was startled, and he was surprised: "The girl actually has a token feather card from our Yue family, how could she not be from the Yue family? This kind of feather card, except for the head of the Yue family and the girl, our Yue family has no other feather card." Anyone who has owned three of them before knows that seeing a feather card is like seeing a master, and this is the only token of the master.”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yu Ruyan was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously took out the simple and elegant bamboo plaque that she was carrying with her, staring at it, her heart couldn't stop being fluctuated——
I really didn't expect that the sign Yue Yu gave her was actually his only keepsake, no wonder that every time she showed this sign in Yue's shop, those guys were very respectful to her, it turned out that this was the reason!
Yu Ruyan suppressed the turmoil in her heart, showed the feather badge to the shopkeeper, and said hesitantly: "You... are you sure that this badge is the only token of the Yue family? It... What is the use of it?"
The shopkeeper was so in awe of the feather card that he didn't even dare to touch it, and said in an affirmative tone: "Actually, after this feather card was given to the girl, the owner of the house specially notified all the shops of the Yue family, saying that it was Seeing Yupai is like seeing him!"
"No matter what kind of request the girl puts forward, she will definitely meet it. To put it bluntly, the more the master is equivalent to sharing all his property and things that belong to him with the girl, even if the girl took out this card that day, the It is also possible to sell all the store property of the Yue family."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked. She looked at the small feather badge in her hand in disbelief. She never thought that it contained all the wealth owned by Yue Yu, and it could even be said to include all the wealth of the Yue family. thing!
Everyone in the world knows that the Yue family's business is spread all over the world. They only know that they are wealthy, but they don't know how much property the Yue family has. However, Yue Yu gave all of such inexhaustible and immeasurable wealth. her!
The little feather card in her hand became extremely heavy in an instant, Yu Ruyan's hand trembled, and she almost dropped it to the ground!
Almost in the next second, the idea of returning the feather card to Yue Yu had sprouted in her heart. This feather card was too precious, and she already owed him too much kindness, how could she still take such a precious thing from him!
But since we left the battlefield a few months ago, she has never heard from him again. She went to the Yue's store in Qi State to inquire, but found nothing. Since then, Yue Yu seems to have disappeared without a trace, let her go Where can I find him, and how can she return his only token? !
The shopkeeper retreated silently, leaving only Yu Ruyan, An Ge and Dongcao in the private room.
Yu Ruyan sat with a frown, after all, Brother An has been by her side for so many years, and he somehow guessed her thoughts, knowing that she knew Yue Yu's thoughts, felt uneasy, and could not help but softly persuaded: " Don't think too much, princess. When Mr. Yue gave you the feather card, the princess didn't know the meaning of the feather card. The princess is a good person. , Princess, don’t feel guilty, just like returning his precious scarlet dress back then, if you see him again in the future, just return this feather card to him.”
After listening to Brother An's persuasion, Yu Ruyan solemnly put the feather badge close to her body, and never dared to take it out casually again.She originally wanted to put the feather card with the shopkeeper and ask him to return it to Yue Yu on his behalf, but she was worried about giving such an important thing to others, so she had to keep it in person, and then return it to Yue Yu face to face Yu was relieved.
Thinking of this, she no longer struggled, and got up to leave Shuyu Hall.
Seeing that the carriage was not heading towards the palace, Brother An looked at the sky outside, turned his head and said to Yu Ruyan: "Princess, it's getting late, I'm afraid His Royal Highness has come back from the palace, so we don't want to go back." ?"
Yu Ruyan didn't answer her words, but stared straight at Dongcao sitting in the corner, and said in a cool tone: "I want to take Dongcao to meet her former master. Dongcao, are you happy?"
Hearing this, Dong Cao's whole body trembled, her body swayed, and she slid to the ground, her face was ashen, she bowed her head and knelt in front of Yu Ruyan.
Looking at her description like this, even though Yu Ruyan understood the truth in her heart, she still couldn't stop the trembling in her heart——
When Gu Qing'er died of arsenic poisoning, all the evidence pointed to her, making people think that she was the murderer who poisoned and killed Gu Qing'er.
She took the medicine for Gu Qing'er, and after Ziluoyuan was closed, no one else had any contact with Ziluoyuan, only she walked around in Ziluoyuan, and everyone in the palace knew that Gu Qing'er was very sad before She has had hatred with her many times, so all of this makes people have to believe that the murderer who killed Gu Qing'er was her Yu Ruyan.
After she was imprisoned at that time, she had been thinking hard in her heart, among the female relatives of the palace, who killed Gu Qing'er?And she knew in her heart that the murderer not only wanted to kill Gu Qing'er, mother and son, but also took the opportunity to blame her, and at the same time took her life...
So, she checked in her mind the female relatives in the palace who hated her—
When the incident happened, apart from Gu Qing'er herself, there were five other female family members in the palace. She ruled out Huaying and Kuang Qinqin first, because these two not only saved her life, they would not harm her, and they did not compete for favor in the mansion. Therefore, Gu Qing'er and the child in her stomach will not be their hands.
Only the side concubine An Lirong, his wife An Lan, and Chen Yanfei who had just been raised as his aunt were left.
An Lirong has a grudge against her, but she planted yellow heart grass on Gu Qing'er to make her a living dead, just wanting the child in her belly, so even if she wants to kill her, she won't do it again when Gu Qing'er is about to give birth For her life and the child in her womb, An Lirong was the first to rule it out.
And Chen Yanfei had only been raised as an aunt for a few days at that time. Although she hated Yu Ruyan, but hearing her beg for copper coins in the garden, she had always wanted to be favored by Mu Lingzhi at that time, and she would not have just become an aunt. It's also unreasonable for Gu Qing'er to die.
The only one left was An Lan. Although she was the most suspected, she had never even approached the door of Ziluoyuan, so she had no chance of poisoning her.
After investigating one by one, it seems that no one has much suspicion.It wasn't until she returned to the palace and found Dongcao, the maidservant who served Gu Qing'er, that she found some clues from her.
If her calculation is true, then the person who killed Gu Qing'er was really beyond her expectations!
Brother An didn't know why, so he asked with a confused face: "Her original master? Princess, who is her original master?"
Yu Ruyan looked at Dongcao with cold eyes, and said indifferently: "Dongcao, now, don't you have anything in your heart that you want to confess to me?"
Dongcao knelt in front of Yu Ruyan, her whole body curled up into a ball, not daring to look into Yu Ruyan's eyes, she felt that as long as she looked at her, the secret in her heart would not be concealed.
She trembled and said: "The servant is guilty of hiding her background from the master. In fact, the servant was a maid in Qin Xianglou before entering the palace. Because she was afraid that the people in the palace would look down on her, she concealed it without authorization when she entered the palace. Please forgive me, master!"
Yu Ruyan already knew these things, she said coldly: "Not only did you come from Qin Xianglou, but your previous master was Aunt Kuang from the palace, so you don't want to sell yourself for money, and you don't want to be paid to stay in the mansion, just for Is it right to repay her kindness to you?"
Dongcao knew that she couldn't hide it from her, so she nodded silently and said: "The master is right. When the servant girl was in Qinxianglou, she served Master Kuang. They redeemed their bodies together, and gave the servants money to return to their hometowns to start a new life. However, the servants’ parents died, and they had no brothers and sisters. They were single and lonely, so they thought it would be better to enter the palace and continue to serve Master Kuang, so they found the palace. up..."
"Then why didn't you go to Bihe Courtyard to serve after you entered the mansion? You entered Ziluo Courtyard but she let you go?" What Dongcao said was not much different from what she had guessed. The truth seemed to be approaching step by step, even though she had already With the answer, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.
Yu Ruyan also couldn't figure out what Yu Ruyan asked about Dongcao. She thought that when she went to see Kuang Qinqin after entering the palace, she thought she would be happy to accept her, but unexpectedly, when she saw him, she not only refused to keep her by her side Waiting, still very angry...
She murmured: "Master Kuang said it was pitiful that Master Gu was pregnant and no one would take care of her, so I asked Mama Liu to take care of her, but the slaves couldn't figure out why Master Kuang refused to let her go when she first entered the mansion. I'll serve her by her side..."
"That's because she has too many secrets, and she doesn't want you to get too close to her to let you know!"
Before Dongcao could speak, Yu Ruyan coldly interrupted her.
Hearing this, Dongcao looked up at Yu Ruyan in disbelief, but she had already closed her eyes with exhaustion.
There is nothing to doubt anymore, when I learned from Dongcao that the moment Kuang Qinqin arranged for her to enter the Violet Courtyard, the truth became clear.
While speaking, the coachman had arrived at the place where Yu Ruyan was going. Brother An helped her get off the carriage. When he saw the familiar courtyard wall, Brother An was slightly taken aback——
In front of them, the plaque hanging on the gate of the familiar courtyard read the four characters of "Wuwei Medical Center".
Brother An wondered: "Young Master Yue has long since ceased to see patients in Wuwei Clinic, why is the princess still here?"
Yu Ruyan suppressed the panic and suffocation in her heart, and sighed: "I didn't come to look for Brother Da, if I guessed correctly, Aunt Kuang must be here."
After all, she took a deep breath and stepped forward to push open the courtyard door first.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed. When they entered, they saw medicinal herbs drying on the shelves in the courtyard. The courtyard looked clean, and under the eaves, there were two or three people in rags sitting in line. Seeing a doctor, everything in front of him is actually the same as when Yue Yu was there.
Brother An already thought that Yue Yu was back, so he couldn't help but excitedly said to Yu Ruyan: "Princess, it seems that Mr. Yue is back, it's really great!"
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, but didn't say a word.
Soon the patients in front had finished their treatment and left. Yu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the room slowly.
At the moment when the door curtain was lifted, when she saw the white figure behind the desk, for a moment, Yu Ruyan felt in a trance that the person inside was Yue Yu!
Time seems to go back to the time when she first brought An Ge here to seek medical treatment. He was dressed in white and snowy, sitting quietly in front of the case, with a gentle and amiable face, treating poor people for free. ...
But the next moment, the person who was writing quickly at the desk raised his head, his eyes met, and both of them were stunned.
Although it was expected, Yu Ruyan was quite surprised when she saw Kuang Qinqin dressed as a young man in white and appeared in Yue Yu's room, and Kuang Qinqin was so shocked that his eyes dropped when he saw her. Out.
The next moment, Kuang Qinqin seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, and the wolf in his hand trembled slightly, and a cloud of ink fell onto the rice paper with a bang.
And on the rice paper in front of her, the general outline of a man has been drawn, that outline is very familiar, especially those clear and gentle eyes that make people unable to move away!
Yu Ruyan immediately recognized the person in the painting as Yue Yu!
Kuang Qinqin's painting is good. Yue Yu in the portrait, his facial expression and shape are very similar to his own imagination. Even his elegant and gentle temperament jumps out of the paper, making people who watch the painting feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing that Yu Ruyan noticed the portrait on the case, Kuang Qinqin's icy expression flashed a trace of panic, but she did not hide it, and gently put down the wolf hair in her hand, and said in a cold voice: "The new princess is not in the palace and stay well. , how did you come to such a dirty and dilapidated place?"
Yu Ruyan smiled slowly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she said calmly: "I have to ask you this, you are an aunt of the palace, but you are a man pretending to be a doctor here. why?"
There was no panic on Kuang Qinqin's face, and he said coldly: "In the eyes of His Highness, you are the only one, and you have already regarded the entire palace's female family members as passers-by. For an unfavored aunt like me, there are not many others in the palace. It's okay without me. Why stay in the palace and get in the way."
Yu Ruyan felt chills in her heart, she looked at Kuang Qinqin who was dressed as a man in front of her, even though she was wearing men's clothes, she still couldn't conceal her natural beauty, she was very handsome in men's clothes, but when she thought about what she had done, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "If my aunt said something like this before, I would have believed it, because my aunt has always kept aloof from the world in the mansion, she didn't compete for favor, she didn't want to be famous, and she didn't get along with other people. Just shut the door and live your own life."
"To be honest, I have always envied my aunt's indifferent and casual temperament before, as if she took everything in the world lightly and looked away, and lived a carefree life. But now I know that I am blind."
"It's not that Auntie doesn't fight or grab, but Auntie's sincerity has never been placed in the mansion, nor in His Highness's heart. That's why she doesn't care about everything. Am I right?"
As Yu Ruyan said, her eyes lingered on the portrait on the desk. What she meant made Kuang Qinqin unable to calm down any longer. His face blushed, but he did not refute, and retorted: "Since the princess knows , why are you still looking for me to go back? The less people in the back house of His Highness, the princess should be happier?"
Yu Ruyan ignored the sarcasm in her words, she said word by word: "Earlier when His Highness heard that Auntie was missing, he immediately sent someone to look for it. At that time, His Highness ordered that if you die, find a place to bury you properly. Now, if you are not dead, there is no need to take you back, just let you go."
"You should know that His Highness has left room for you. Although he is usually indifferent, he didn't kill you completely, but what did you do to him, what did you do in his back house? Are you clear? If you want to calculate this account carefully, who owes whom more?"
Kuang Qinqin suddenly understood the meaning of her words, her face turned pale immediately, she turned her face away and said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about?"
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and said with a dull expression: "When Gu Shi died, I was almost executed by Concubine Xie Gui, and then I was imprisoned in a prison cell. Gu Shi and I want to kill two birds with one stone at once. I have thought about and doubted everyone, but I never thought it would be you, because I always thought that in the dark back house of the palace, You and Huaying are good people worthy of trust and friendship..."
"Thinking about it now, the person you really want to kill is me, and Gu Shi is just an innocent pawn in the trap you designed to take revenge on me. Aunt Kuang, am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Kuang Qinqin was shocked, but Brother An was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. On the contrary, Dongcao, who had been calm since he came in, now has a calm expression, but the trembling of the whole body is still the same. She betrayed her true emotions at the moment!
Kuang Qinqin recovered from the shock, although his expression was flustered, he gritted his teeth and retorted: "Unexpectedly, the new concubine came here to make up stories to slander me for her sudden visit, heh, is it because Concubine Xie Guifei is still grabbing Gu Qing'er You will not let go, so you are anxious to find someone to cover this matter for you, so that Concubine Xie can accept you again! But don't forget, everything must be based on the basis, although I am just a little aunt, but you want to murder I'm afraid I have to come up with evidence."
Yu Ruyan's little affection for her also dissipated, and she said coldly: "Since I can find you here, it means that I have sorted out all the ins and outs of the matter, and I will not wrong you in vain."
After that, she pointed to the portrait on the desk, and said unexpectedly: "You can draw someone who is not in front of you so clearly with just your imagination, you can see that his every move, every eyebrow and every glance are carved into your bone marrow, From now on, it is not difficult to see that the person Aunt Kuang has always admired is Mr. Yue."
As soon as this remark came out, Kuang Qinqin was stunned, and stood there stupidly, without making a sound to refute, there was madness, pain, and viciousness in his cold eyes.
"But one thing I don't understand is, since you have your own heart, why did you fall into the Qinxiang Tower in the end? Why did you wrong yourself to marry into the palace when you clearly didn't like His Highness in your heart? Can you tell me why all this is because of it? ?”
Speaking of this point, Kuang Qinqin's sophistry is meaningless. In fact, from the moment Yu Ruyan entered the door, she had thought in her heart that she might be exposed for poisoning Gu Shi and framing her!
She was not afraid of being discovered, nor was she afraid of being taken back to feed Gu Shi, but she was not reconciled, she touched something in her bosom, and in the next second, her icy eyes flashed fiercely!
Kuang Qinqin looked at Dongcao fiercely, and said with a sneer, "What a white-eyed wolf, if you have a new master, you will sell the old master immediately."
Dongcao's mouth moved with difficulty, just as she was about to explain to her weakly, Kuang Qinqin turned his head and looked at Yu Ruyan fiercely, and said coldly: "I put the poison on, what do you want to do with me now?"
Hearing her confession, Yu Ruyan's heart sank into an abyss. It should be a happy thing to find the real culprit, but she couldn't be happy at all.
She gritted her teeth to suppress the coldness all over her body, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Kill to pay for your life, since you did it, you can follow me back to the palace, and His Highness will personally determine your guilt!"
Hearing this, Kuang Qinqin suddenly raised her head and burst out laughing. She laughed wildly and recklessly, her entire face was distorted, but tears rolled down her smooth face...
The sun was setting, and the light in the house was gradually dimming. In the dim halo, she was dressed in white clothes, which was extraordinarily dazzling. The bun on her head was unfurled, and the blue hair that reached her calves was windless and automatic. It reveals a strange and stern beauty, which makes people feel cold!
The laughter stopped abruptly, Kuang Qinqin stopped the laughter and suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Ruyan, and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, you alone can't take me away, and those secret guards will not catch me if they want to catch me." Difficult. But I am willing to go back with you, as long as you help me accomplish one thing."
Yu Ruyan shuddered when she heard the words, she never thought that Kuang Qinqin would know martial arts!
She knew that what she said was right, if she was allowed to escape this time, it would be even more impossible to arrest her and bring her back to justice in the future.
But she also knew that Kuang Qinqin hated her, so what she wanted to help would definitely not be a good thing, so Yu Ruyan hesitated for a while, what should she do?
However, at this moment, her eyes blurred, and Kuang Qinqin actually appeared in front of her like a ghost, and in the next second, a hand ruthlessly grabbed Yu Ruyan's neck, with a sharp point on his hand. Her nails immediately pinched her neck with blood marks!
The sudden change frightened Brother An and Dongcao to scream, and Brother An's first reaction was to pounce on Kuang Qinqin, but Kuang Qinqin's figure was like a ghost, and he was already choking Yu Ruyan's neck and took him away. Watching her rush out of the house and onto the high roof!
Brother An's heart was about to jump out of fright, and he chased them out together with Dongcao, but when they came to the yard, there was no one outside, but there was a scolding sound from the roof. Brother looked up at the roof, and was so frightened that all his souls flew away!
On the high roof, Kuang Qinqin held Yu Ruyan in one hand and stood on the edge of the eaves. Yu Ruyan's whole body was hanging in the air. When the night wind blew, her concubine-colored dress fluttered and danced in the wind. That description seems to be about to fall off the roof at any time and be smashed to pieces!
Around Kuang Qinqin, five hidden guards also surrounded Kuang Qinqin with cold sweat all over their bodies, but fearing Yu Ruyan's crisis, none of them dared to act rashly.
Brother An was so frightened that her legs went limp and she was about to faint. She was at a loss as to what to do, so she had to kneel down and cried to Kuang Qinqin on the roof: "Aunt Kuang, please, please let me go!" Princess, you...you arrest the servant and replace the princess!"
Dongcao also knelt down side by side with Brother An with a 'puff', and begged her in the same way: "Master Kuang, let the princess go, you have already done something wrong, you can't make any more mistakes, the fate of this servant is If your Highness wants someone to take the life of Master Gu, this servant is willing to die for Master Kuang... this servant is an accomplice, I am sorry for Master Gu, this servant is willing to apologise with death!"
The hidden guard who was confronting Kuang Qinqin on the roof also sternly said: "Put down the princess, and spare your life!"
But no matter what they said, Kuang Qinqin didn't have the slightest intention to let people go. She coldly glanced at Yu Ruyan, whose face was pale but extremely calm, in her hand, and couldn't help sneering: "Princess is so courageous, to such an extent She didn't change her expression. But don't worry Wangfei, although I hate you, I said that as long as Wangfei helps me accomplish something, I won't hurt you."
After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and said to An Ge below: "Go back to the mansion and tell Mu Lingzhi to come to Wangyue Pavilion to find me, but if you want me to let him go, let me meet someone first!"
"Who do you want to see?" Before Brother An could make a sound, the leading hidden guard asked impatiently.
"You ask your highness to find a way to make Yue Yu, the head of the Yue family, show up. As soon as he shows up, I will release him immediately!" Kuang Qinqin's long hair was flying in the wind, and the moment he mentioned Yue Yu on his sharp face, he was shocked. It is unknowingly softened.
As soon as the words fell, she carried Yu Ruyanteng and flew towards the Moon Pavilion, her cold voice came from the wind——
"I don't give you much time. If you don't see Yue Yu before dawn, you can go to Wangyue Pavilion to collect the body for your princess!"
Before Mu Lingzhi left the palace, he heard the secret guard report the conflict between Yu Ruyan and the eldest prince in Qin Xianglou. .
But when he arrived at Qin Xianglou, there was no sign of Yu Ruyan in the building, and the First Prince was gone, only puddles of blood remained on the ground, and the people of Qin Xianglou were washing them with water.
When he saw the blood stains on the ground, Mu Lingzhi's brain exploded——
He knew that the first prince and the Mu family had always wanted Yu Ruyan's life. Thinking of the danger of the altar last time, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but think that the blood on the ground was left by Yu Ruyan, and almost drew his sword to find Mu Yun. He fought desperately with Mu Ziyang, but fortunately the copper money caught a nurse in Qinxianglou and asked him, knowing that the blood was left by the old bustard of Qinxianglou, not Yu Ruyan, so Mu Lingzhi let go of his heart , and hurried back to the mansion to look for Yu Ruyan.
But when he rushed back to Yunsong Courtyard, Yu Ruyan was nowhere to be seen in the house, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help feeling flustered, and was about to go out to look for her.At this moment, the guard who was following Yu Ruyan ran back in a panic, and reported to Mu Lingzhi what happened in Wuwei Hospital and Kuang Qinqin's request.
When Mu Lingzhi rushed to Wangyue Pavilion with a white face, just one glance made him dizzy and almost fell off the horse——
On the Wangyue Pavilion, the tallest building in the Eastern Capital.In the night, on the high eaves of the top floor, Kuang Qinqin sat decadently, holding a wine pot in one hand and Yu Ruyan in the other, while Yu Ruyan's body was leaning against the eaves...
