slave like jade

Chapter 92
The door opened, and a group of people poured in, but it was An Lirong who came in with the royal family members, and the bloody cloth in An Lan's hand made Yu Ruyan's heart tremble, and the endless fear made her never Unable to support it, I fell to the ground!
Mu Lingzhi looked at the crowd who appeared suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

An Lirong didn't care about the coldness on his face, and slowly stepped forward with a smile on her face: "I just heard the news from the palace that the emperor has officially married His Highness to Miss Mufu. The sisters specially came to congratulate His Highness, so, when the concubine walks through the door, the palace will finally have a mistress!"

Mu Lingzhi's face darkened, and he couldn't help but look at Yu Ruyan in a panic, only to see her get up in a daze, with an unbelievable expression on her face——

In the Shuyu Pavilion before, Yu Ruyan wished Mu Ziyue to marry and become the third concubine against her will in order to slow Mu Ziyue from revealing her identity. In fact, in her heart, Mu Lingzhi married anyone better than Mu Ling Good morning, Ziyue, she has a vicious mind, an arrogant and hypocritical temperament, and cruel methods. It is definitely not the blessing of the palace, let alone the blessing of Mu Ling, for her to become a princess!

Seeing her disbelief, An Lirong smiled and said gently: "Your Highness is going to marry the princess, why does the girl have such an expression? Don't you want to see the new princess come in?"

She said "new princess" on the left and "new princess" on the right, just to make Yu Ruyan feel uncomfortable, and now she deliberately asked her how she felt.

Before Yu Ruyan could speak, Mu Lingzhi scolded angrily, "Stop rambling here, if there is nothing else, get out of here quickly!"

Hearing this, An Lirong took the lead and knelt down in front of Mu Lingzhi with a 'plop' sound, and everyone else also knelt down. An Lirong said sadly: "Your Highness, all the concubines have heard about the affairs in the palace. The concubines originally wanted to hide it from His Highness, fearing that His Highness would be sad, but now it seems that they have to say it, otherwise, the entire palace will suffer disaster with her!"

Hearing her speak so seriously, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help looking at Yu Ruyan, both of them were shocked, Yu Ruyan was trembling all over, but Mu Lingzhi was full of doubts——

"What on earth are you guys going to say?" Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy. After the copper coin reported the news that the pawnshop no longer existed, bad thoughts began to appear in his heart. Put it on Yu Ruyan.

There are so many pawnshops in Dongdu, why the one she went to closed down? All of this is too unusual, which means there is a conspiracy. Now that he heard what An Lirong and the others said, his heart shivered, and he was determined. Looking at Yu Ruyan next to her, she saw that she was already covered in cold sweat!

An Lirong motioned to An Lan who was kneeling beside her, and An Lan quickly stepped forward and presented the bloody gauze in front of Mu Lingzhi, and said slowly, "Your Highness, let's see if this bloody cloth looks familiar to you? "

Mu Lingzhi's eyes flashed, and he picked up the blood-stained cloth and looked at it intently. From the familiarity at the beginning, his expression changed drastically.

Seeing this, An Lan smiled with satisfaction in her heart, but continued to speak softly on her face: "The last time the Mufu found an assassin, and later the assassin fled all the way to the Wangfu. At that time, Miss Mu suspected that it was Miss Xiaoqing who hid the assassin, but later Miss Mu searched Miss Xiaoqing's bungalow but found nothing, for this matter, Miss Mu even admitted her mistake to Miss Xiaoqing..."

While speaking, An Lan looked coldly at Yu Ruyan, whose face had turned gray, and said coldly, "Forgive me for being rude, and I always thought that Miss Mu was too reckless and wronged me when I searched the house. Miss Qing, but on the second day, a servant of the palace found these bloody cloth strips in a hidden place in the garden. Your Highness, please look, these cloth strips are the same as the lotus root and white embroidered clothes that Miss Xiaoqing often wears. Did the floral dress come from one place?"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's heart was icy cold, and her whole body was trembling, but she gritted her teeth to calm herself down, but her complexion returned to the usual description.

On the contrary, Mu Lingzhi was more flustered and nervous than she was. He held the bloody cloth tightly in his hand, looked coldly at Yu Ruyan with a calm face, and said in a deep voice, "Take her dress Take it all."

Although Yu Ruyan returned to live in the bungalow after the two fell out last time, most of her clothes were still left in the bedroom of Yunsong Court. She took out all her clothes from the closet and placed them one by one.

Mu Lingzhi's eyes instantly saw the lotus root white dress that was exactly the same as the cloth strip in the pile of clothes. When the dress was unfolded and placed in front of his eyes, although the hem of the dress looked intact, it was not difficult to find that it had been re-stitched. past traces.

His heart was cold, and the hand holding the bloody cloth couldn't help shaking. Chen Yanfei saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I also have something to report!"

His back couldn't stop shaking, Mu Lingzhi's heart seemed to be pierced fiercely with a sharp knife, his voice was sad and sad, as if he had lost all his strength, and said: "I don't know what else, you all say it all at once. Come on!"

There was a flash of pride in Chen Yanfei's eyes, and he said word by word: "On the night of the house search, my concubine happened to be in the garden, and I saw Xiaoqing hide a masked man in black in the most secret grotto in the garden. On the edge of the garden near the Lianhu Lake, I didn’t even know there was a natural cave there, which was blocked by a rockery outside, I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I couldn’t find it at all…”

Fearing that Mu Lingzhi would not believe what she said, Chen Yanfei kept talking vividly.Yu Ruyan's heart was ashamed and silent——

What happened today, Mrs. An and the others came prepared. Even Chen Yanfei risked being confessed by Chen Bo and Chen Ma to put her to death. They all looked at her with hatred in their eyes. In order to deal with her, the wives and concubines who were fighting to the death secretly united in a rare unity.

She felt sore and hopeless in her heart. Since entering the mansion, she has never taken the initiative to harm anyone. Many times, she has no choice but to fight back, but she still attracts people's hatred, just like in the Qi Palace. She obviously did nothing. , guarding her own Jinying Palace cautiously all day long, living worse than ordinary slaves, and being hated and obstructing others, other princesses will run to Jinying Palace to humiliate and torture her from time to time regardless of sisterhood. ·····
Hearing Chen Yanfei tell everything about the cave in detail, Mu Lingzhi frowned again, his eyes flashed sternness, at this moment, he really couldn't trust Yu Ruyan anymore!

In the next second, the lotus root white skirt and the blood-stained gauze were thrown in front of Yu Ruyan. Mu Lingzhi looked at her coldly, feeling cold in his heart——

Even though he saw the jade pendant fall from the assassin, even if the pawn shop disappeared strangely, he still chose to believe her, but now, all the evidence proves that she had harbored the assassin, and even tore off her dress to help the assassin bandage the wound. Everything is telling him a bloody fact, that is, the woman he loves so much is really with the assassin!

Thinking of the fire at the inn in Guyu Town, he almost died in the fire, and she ran away in the chaos but turned back. At that time, he thought with confidence that she was reluctant to part with him and reluctant to leave him. Now that I think about it, she was actually Already have a plot!

Thinking back carefully now, on the eve of the banquet in the East Palace, he found an assassin trespassing on his bedroom, and at that time he didn't see any panic in front of her eyes, but rather lost and worried;

After Mu Ziyue punished her to keep seven days for Wen Xiang, a man in black immediately ran to the prime minister's mansion and scratched the face of Hua Xiaoyue's maid to retaliate;

Later, in the sugar shop in Hanrui Festival, Xiaoyue poured sugar water on her, but was picked up by the man in black. Not only did she save her, but also made Xiaoyue suffer for herself;
And this time in the palace assassination, he even saw the jade pendant he gave her fall from the assassin...

All of this is proving to him that the woman he loves so much in front of him, despite the opposition of everyone in the world, has given up everything just to keep her. Order her...

For her alone, he would rather bear the burden of other wives and concubines in the back house and only dote on her alone;
In order to give her a title, he chose to disobey his father and mother and make her his concubine;
Enduring the pain of losing his son, he ran around to clean up her grievances;
Facing the monstrous anger of his father, he was desperately trying to protect her regardless of his own safety.

After living for 23 years, he has never loved a woman so deeply. In front of her, he almost let go of all his pride. When Chen Yanfei climbed into his bed, he even let go of his princely figure, humbly confessed his mistake to her, and begged she forgives...
——When love turns into hate, the love is as deep as the hate is!
Mu Lingzhi's eyes were blood red, and his chest was in pain like suffocation. In the next second, a mouthful of blood gushed out...
Seeing his distorted and painful description, Yu Ruyan's heart was already numb with pain. Seeing him vomiting blood with hatred, she couldn't care about anything else, she rushed forward to explain to him, but when her hands touched his body, she was slapped hard by him. Get rid of it!

Mu Lingzhi's face was distorted, his eyes were blood red, he stared at her firmly, swallowed the blood in his throat, and suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "So, this is the reason why you refused to accept the title of side concubine. I, Mu Lingzhi, What has become in your eyes..."

With a muffled snort, he actually tore off the gauze she had just wrapped up for him. The gauze pulled the wound on his shoulder, and blood gushed out again in an instant.

Yu Ruyan stared blankly at Mu Lingzhi's look of despair, grief and indignation, her heart was numb, she had countless explanations and things she wanted to say to him, but her throat seemed to be cut in half by a steel knife, the pain was so painful that she couldn't even say a word. When he came out, he stood there blankly like a lifeless puppet, his mind went white and black, and he was going to faint all the time!

An Lirong and the others stepped forward to help Mu Lingzhi sit down with great distress, and while sending someone to call the doctor, they wiped the blood on his body.Seeing him vomit blood, An Lirong felt extremely heartbroken. While helping him re-bandage the wound on his shoulder, she cried, "No matter how sad Your Highness is, you must take care of your body. If you have something good or bad, let my concubine How do you live?"

Seeing Mu Lingzhi's current state, An Lan was terrified, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, now that she is conspiring with the assassin, the evidence is conclusive, and she is still burdened with the murder of Gu Shi and her child. How will Your Highness deal with her?" Do you want to hand her over to Jing Zhaoyin as a concubine, where there are all kinds of instruments of torture, and she will definitely let her tell the whereabouts of the assassin, so that His Highness can also report to the Emperor!"

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi stared at her with no warmth in his cold eyes, An Lan felt cold, and hurriedly lowered her head and hid to the side, not daring to speak again, but Mu Lingzhi finally cast her eyes on Yuru again. Yan body——

Although her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, she still stood there extremely calmly, the bright sun cast halos on her body, her face was peaceful and indifferent, as if everything in front of her was nothingness...

Seeing her indifference, Mu Lingzhi suddenly smiled, and the corners of his eyes were wet with a smile, and he actually shed tears——

"I have always liked your strength, unlike other women who are prone to tears, but now it seems that you are not strong, but cold-blooded—"

"Everyone knows that Mu Lingzhi, the third prince of Daliang, is the most cold-blooded and ruthless, but compared to you, I am not as good as you!"

"I have paid so much for you, but in the end I can't get a single tear from you!"

The tears in the corner of his eyes turned into the sharpest sword and pierced her chest. She couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but want to escape from here...
He staggered and ran out, but when he arrived at the door, he was stopped by a figure in front of him. Mu Lingzhi stopped her, not caring about the wound on his body, and sternly said, "At the beginning, you tried every means to seduce me and make me like you. Come on you, do you want to escape now that the Dongchuang incident happened?"

Icy fingers pinched her neck, and the cold murderous aura on her body seemed to freeze her heart, and she said coldly: "Hmph, want to escape? Don't forget your promise that day, for the sake of the other 36 lives, you have to give this Gong has been a servant for a lifetime, how can I let you leave without saying anything?"

After all, the strength in his hand was loosened, and Yu Ruyan's body slipped and fell to the ground. He waved his hand vigorously to let someone take her down, and said coldly: "Put her in the cell, and no one is allowed to release her without my palace's order." come out!"

An Shi and the others originally thought that Yu Ruyan was harboring an assassin. After the relationship with the assassin's accomplice was exposed, and with the two lives of Gu Qing'er's mother and son, His Highness would take the life of this lowly servant no matter what. Unexpectedly, in the end, Mu Ling He was still reluctant to kill her, so he just locked her up again!
Yu Ruyan was dragged towards the prison cell. Mu Lingzhi's figure was surrounded by light and shadow, but his voice was icy cold: "If anyone dares to reveal a word about what happened today, I will scrape her tongue and throw it away." Go to exile in Jingdi, and let her be tortured to death for a lifetime of suffering!"

Everyone in the house changed their faces when they heard the words. Jingdi was the most terrifying place in Daliang, where the most vicious criminals were imprisoned. Those locked up worked day and night, and lost their lives if they were not careful!

I heard that there is a lot of hunger and cold, and there have been many shocking news about people cannibalism!

An's and the others' faces turned gray——

If the emperor or the imperial concubine in the palace knew the truth, even if His Highness spared her life, the emperor and the empress would not let her go.

He thought that after Mu Lingzhi learned the truth about Yu Ruyan's deception, he must have hated her, but he didn't expect that not only did he not kill her, but he still wanted to protect her wholeheartedly!

Everyone had hate and fear on their faces, they all knelt down and bowed their heads and said: "I (servant) respectfully obey His Highness's words!"

However, at this moment, screams for help and the sound of fighting came from the yard. Mu Lingzhi's expression changed, and he flew out to the yard the next moment.

Everyone in the house also ran into the courtyard in panic, and when Mu Lingzhi led everyone to the courtyard, they couldn't help but be stunned by the situation in front of them!
I saw a purple-clothed youth standing majestically in the middle of the courtyard. His face was covered with a veil and his description could not be seen clearly, but a pair of obsidian eyes shone brightly under the bright sun but revealed a strong chill.

He was holding a woman in his hand. Her head was covered by a cloth bag, so she couldn't see who it was.The cold sword in the purple-clothed boy's hand pointed straight at the two guards who were guarding Yu Ruyan. There were already two guards lying down at his feet. They cut off their necks and separated their bodies with one sword. The technique was cruel and terrifying. The murderous aura on his body made people tremble even more!

Seeing Mu Lingzhi coming out, he hesitated for a moment in his eyes, but the next second, the long sword in his hand suddenly turned and aimed at Mu Lingzhi.

"Let her go!" The young man's voice was piercingly cold, blood welled up in his eyes.

When Mu Lingzhi saw him, when he saw his obsidian-like eyes, his heart suddenly moved——

This person was not the silver-masked assassin last night, he recognized that person's eyes, not the purple-clothed boy in front of him.

Moreover, the young man's eyes suddenly felt so familiar to him, but the current situation couldn't describe his distraction, so he said coldly, "Who are you?"

The young man blurted out: "She is my sister, if you dare to hurt her even an inch, I will kill your fiancée!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and took off the cloth cover of the hostage in his hand, and retracted the long sword, but it was the hostage neck.

The cloth cover was removed, and everyone exclaimed, the hostage held by the young assassin turned out to be the third concubine Mu Ziyue who was just married by His Highness!

I saw Mu Ziyue's face turned pale, her eyes were panic-stricken, her face paled, her whole body was shaking like chaff, her mouth kept opening and closing, she wanted to say something but she couldn't say a word, but she was caught by the neck. Sen Leng's cold sword frightened him silly!

She has just been given a marriage, and it took so much effort to become the third princess-to-be, but she must not be killed by the knife!

Finally, she trembled and made a trembling voice: "Ling... Ling Zhi... Save... Save me!"

The moment he saw that the hostage was Mu Ziyue, Mu Lingzhi's eyes immediately sank, walked up to Yu Ruyan, looked into her panicked eyes, and sneered, "You have been with me for so long, how could I I didn't know you had such a powerful brother!"

After that, he turned to look at the assassin, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Your good sister killed my wife and concubine and my child. She was originally my slave, a slave for a lifetime, how can you let her go?"

Hearing what he said, the young man became anxious, his eyes became more murderous, and he pressed the sharp sword in his hand towards Mu Ziyue's tender neck, a bloodstain immediately appeared, and blood beads rolled down the sword body one by one!

Mu Ziyue groaned in pain and screamed in horror: "Ling Zhi, let her go quickly, save me! Save me!"

Seeing Mu Ziyue's pitiful appearance, Mu Ling's thoughts kept turning. After a long time, he gritted his teeth powerlessly and said, "Okay, one person for another, you let her go, and I will let your sister go!"

The young man's expression relaxed, but he suddenly said: "Wait, you still have to make a written statement that you will never pester or embarrass my sister for the rest of your life. From now on, you will never have any relationship with her again!"

The young man's words made everyone present look surprised, Mu Ling's heart sank, his eyes darkened, but Yu Ruyan stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the young man, speechless for a long time.

But An Shi and the others were filled with joy, and everyone couldn't help but think, if this way, the lowly maid was taken away by the assassin, His Highness would no longer think about the lowly maid.

An Lan's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly stepped forward to sincerely persuade the hesitant Mu Lingzhi: "Your Highness, there is no other way to save Miss Mu right now, so you follow his advice and let her go." In this way, His Highness has nothing to do with her, and everyone saw her being rescued by an assassin, so it will be easy for His Highness to go to the Holy Spirit!"

Mu Ziyue also pleaded: "Ling Zhi, promise him quickly, save me, save me..."

Mu Lingzhi's complexion was livid, and his eyes were full of anger, but in the end he had no choice but to ask the copper coin to bring a pen and paper, raised his hand "shua shua" a few times to finish writing, and threw it in front of the ashen-faced Yu Ruyan, and said coldly : "Congratulations! You are completely free!"

Yu Ruyan slowly unfolded the paper on the ground with a pale face, and when she saw the writing on it, her whole body was icy cold...

She knelt down in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for taking care of me for so long, Your Highness... I have been with His Highness for so long, and I have only caused a lot of troubles for His Highness. Please, Your Highness... "Forget all about it!"

Her eyes were red, and her soreness was unbearable. She clearly wanted to say a thousand words to him, but her heart was so congested that she couldn't breathe, her throat was choked up, and finally all she could say was, "I passed by the flower garden two days ago. , the flower seedlings are growing... very good! I think, I won't be here for long, there will be a hundred flowers blooming there, Your Highness... please forgive me for not being able to accompany you to see the flowers... ·”

Tears flooded her heart, but her eyes were still dry, and her heart ached to the point of bleeding.

She looked up at the man in front of her stupidly for the last time, then grinned suddenly, and kowtowed heavily——

"Farewell to you here, I hope you will cherish it!"

From the time she opened her mouth just now, Mu Lingzhi kept holding her with both hands behind his back until his knuckles turned white. He turned his head aside and dared not look at her.He was afraid that as long as he looked at her again, he would regret not letting her go.Seeing her leaving resolutely at this time, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her, and stared at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her whole appearance into his heart with a glance of her eyebrows.

With tears streaming down his face, he said with difficulty, "I've been in love for so long, but I don't know your real identity? Tell me, who are you?"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's whole body froze, her lips opened and closed with difficulty, and a voice in her heart kept shouting to him: I am the Heshuo princess Yu Ruyan who braved the scorching heat and came all the way to marry you. Your famous matchmaker is marrying the third concubine, but why... why did you shoot me with an arrow, and let me become the most pitiful and despicable military prostitute in the world!
If it weren't for that cold arrow, maybe we wouldn't be what we are now!
It seemed like a century had passed, just when Mu Ziyue was afraid that she would reveal her identity and was almost suffocated by the tension, only Yu Ruyan's cold voice sounded faintly——

"Your Highness...forget about me!"
