Playful Queen

Chapter 73

"Ahem..." She walked too fast, she couldn't help it anymore, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth stuck her throat, so she let go of Zi Yechen's hand vigorously, and patted her chest. Forgot to ask: "Ahem, what the hell happened! It made the emperor so excited!"

The wrists that were pulling her were red, and there were bursts of pain. She has provoked someone!

Zi Yechen's handsome face has been gloomy since he heard Xiao Quanzi's words just now, as if he couldn't see any sunshine.

"What did you say to Concubine Rong in the prison?!" Zi Yechen asked coldly, frowning.

Meng Li followed her throat and said intermittently: "Did something happen?"

"I shouldn't have allowed you to see Concubine Rong!" His voice became colder and his handsome face was heavy, and he grabbed Mengli's hand: "What did you tell her? Let her commit suicide in fear of guilt." He stared at Mengli, as if waiting for her explanation.

Mengli was frightened by these words just as she was about to let go, she coughed several times in a row, shocked in her heart, Concubine Rong committed suicide?

"She, then she now..."

"He's already dead!" Hearing the nervous coughing, Zi Yechen's face became more and more serious, and his cold eyes shot at her like sharp knives, "You don't need to pretend anymore, as soon as you leave, she will commit suicide , When the jailer found out, he had passed away and could not be treated."

Mengli heard the meaning of her words, her face turned cold, and said lightly: "Then does the emperor believe that the concubine forced her to commit suicide? Or does he think it was the concubine who killed her?"

"I want your explanation." Zi Yechen grabbed her shoulder suddenly, "You tell me!"

"No need to explain, I was indeed the one who killed Concubine Rong!" Mengli's small hands were tightly pulled into fists, and she said indifferently with a hint of coldness in her eyes, with a little sadness in her eyes. If she hadn't gone to see her, she might not have died so quickly.

I heard that Zi Yechen never thought that she would admit it like this, a wave of anger was about to burst out of her body, this was not the answer he wanted, why couldn't she be softer.

"Shen Mengli, do you know what you are talking about?" Zi Yechen shook Mengli and asked again.

"Of course I know." She raised her eyes, only to see him narrowing his eyes, with deep thought at the tip of his eyes, Meng Li's eyes became as cold as frost, and the cold voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, since you have already dragged your concubine to ask, Don't you just wait for the concubine to admit it? Even if the concubine tells the truth what she said to Concubine Rong, will you believe it?" How could he believe in himself, he never believed in himself.

"Shen Mengli! You are challenging my patience!" Zi Yechen said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you'd better not provoke anything again!"

After saying that, she turned around resolutely and left. Why, when he wanted to believe her, why did she always let him down?
Meng Li looked at Zi Yechen's leaving back, and there was a kind of suffocation and pliability, and she would figure it out!

I thought that Ziyechen would trouble Mengli again, but what he heard the next day was that Rongpin's death was a confession of suicide, and the case of the Buddha statue was closed. There was something involved, Rong Pin's father was an upright official, Zi Yechen really saw it in his eyes, but his daughter made a mistake, so he allowed Rong Pin's father to retire early and return home, thus saving Rong Pin What Mengli didn't expect was that he actually kept her from going to the prison.

When this matter just faded away, something gradually surfaced unknowingly...

In the past two days, since Yun Xi heard the song that day, she has been restless and her emotions fluctuated, and everyone in Ningyun Palace dared not say anything more.

Yun Xi's exquisite body slowly walked to the seat, and the song just now was circulating in her mind, as if it was like a spell, it kept ringing in her ears. She could never forget this song, and it was impossible to forget it, because it belonged to The only song between their sisters... What the hell is going on?

A lot of questions appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She shook her head and told herself that it must be a coincidence, she couldn't be alive!

Yun Xi said firmly in her heart, trying to make herself more rational, and never let herself get confused. Thinking of this, her mood eased a little, she picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table, took a few sips, and then calmly thought about it and analyzed it , this must be someone who made a hindrance, who can know what happened back then?No one should know...

At this time, Qiao Yu ran in to report, interrupting Yun Xi's thoughts, "Mother, the maid of Liyang Palace is here."

"Why did the maid from Liyang Palace come here?" Yun Xi raised her eyes and thought for a while, "Let her come in."

Soon, the dumb slave and eunuch from Liyang Palace came in, and the dumb slave was holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Yun Xi glanced coldly at the two people who bowed down, and saw that the maid lowered her head and remained silent, causing Yun Xi to frown. At this moment, the eunuch who came with her said: " Empress, this girl is dumb and can't speak, why don't you quickly present the things to Empress Yun?"

Hearing this, the dumb slave got up immediately, and presented the beautiful box in his hand respectfully, and the eunuch's voice sounded again: "Madam, this is a hairpin that Madam Lipin specially asked the slave to bring to you. It is said to be a handmade hairpin, unique , this wood is a precious wood in the Western Regions, and it can ward off evil spirits."

It seemed that Concubine Li really did not forget to flatter her everywhere, Yun Xi put down the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, and said slowly: "Then thank Concubine Li for me..."

Before I finished speaking, my eyes fell on the hairpin lying quietly in the box. It was a butterfly-shaped hairpin carved from peach wood. The butterflies on it were lifelike, as if they were dancing. It is extremely rare. To be able to make such an ingenious hairpin, the person who made the hairpin must have superb craftsmanship, and it is extremely precious. However, this hairpin...

Yun Xi's hand trembled, and she knocked over the teacup that was about to be placed on the table. This, she will never forget this hairpin!
Yun Xi's face turned pale at this moment. She would never forget this hairpin even if she died. Looking at the hairpin in front of her in disbelief, her body trembled unconsciously, but she tried her best to maintain her usual graceful posture, "It's really Nice hairpin, thank Lipin for me."

"As long as Concubine Yun likes it, that's fine." The eunuch kowtowed again, let the dumb slave put down the box, and led her out. Just as he was leaving, the dumb slave took another look at Yun Xi. She seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Concubine Yun. He quickly looked back and followed the eunuch to leave.

Qiaoyu beside him looked at the hairpin in front of him and exclaimed in his heart, this hairpin is so delicate, it seems that Li Xi is only trying to please her master, otherwise she would have reluctantly parted with her. After they left, Qiaoyu put the box He took it over and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this hairpin..." It's really unique.
