Forced to marry as a concubine: the prince is too presumptuous

Chapter 99 Pity
In this world, is there really no one you can trust anymore?

She didn't believe the man who kissed her, not at all.

It's like pear blossoms with rain, so delicate and beautiful that people just want to pity them.

She was awake, or in a trance, feeling his hand draw a little bit of magic on her body, causing her to tremble inexplicably again and again.

The clothes fell to the ground, one after another.

That is, the expectation that I have never had before, the expectation, her body and everything...

That night, I don't know how many times he wanted her, but when she woke up in the morning, she found red marks on her body.

In just one night, everything seemed to have changed, but she still couldn't believe Mu Lianfeng's betrayal. Last night was like a dream. When she woke up from the dream, everything was unreal. It wasn't Mu Lianfeng, it wasn't Mu Lianfeng , telling myself over and over again, shaking his head over and over again.

After breakfast, Ximo sat quietly by the window, and Zhixia brought the stove over, "Miss, you don't know, something happened in the palace early in the morning."

"What's the matter?" I panicked, could it be that her visit to the waterside courtyard last night was discovered?
"The empress was grounded. I heard that the emperor originally wanted to demote the empress to the cold palace. Later, Princess Huimin confessed his love, so he gave up."

"When did this happen?"

"Early this morning, after the morning court, the emperor announced his will."

"Because of what?"

"This... Zhixia is not very clear, miss, the palace is really chaotic, I think it has something to do with Concubine Mei's disappearance."

Yes, she thought about it too. She heard those red-clothed guards say last night that if Concubine Mei's death really had something to do with Feng Wan'er, then the penalty of being grounded is actually not too serious. The position is still there, and there will always be a comeback.

But she also knew that the reason why Feng Wan'er was grounded was also related to her. Yan Mo did not divorce her. In fact, she was a little surprised last night. Could it be that he has changed his mind about her?Will he even ignore Feng Wan'er for himself?
In my heart, I can no longer be calm, and the chaos is scattered in my heart like fluff in the wind, "Zhixia, let's go for a walk."

"Miss, maybe it's going to snow. It's cold outside, so you can wear that fox fur cloak. It was given to Miss by the concubine yesterday."

"Okay." Although it's a bit flamboyant, wearing it means that she is very grateful for the gift from the concubine.

The weather outside was really cold, but it was not as cold as last night. I remembered that Yan Mo personally took her to the Shuixie courtyard last night, and remembered what Mu Lianfeng had done to her. She didn't have any explanations from her, or maybe it was because they never met alone that made him unable to explain, but after last night, she no longer needed any explanations from him.

Everything was clear, thinking of the cellar that Mu Lianfeng mentioned last night, Ximo knew that Yan Mo might be investigating the news about that cellar right now.

I don't know how many cellars there are in the palace, and I don't know who is imprisoned in the cellars, but they can't be ordinary people, otherwise, Mu Lianfeng wouldn't take the risk to take people away.

Holding the stove in his arms, he walked aimlessly in the palace. The trees on the two sides of the road had long since withered and only their branches were left, and the blue and yellow grass leaves were hidden in his eyes, leaving only the sadness of autumn in the bleakness. Before he knew it, Ximo approached Taiye Pond.

That was the place where Concubine Mei fell into the water. When she saw it, she couldn't help but jump in her heart. She never thought that she would approach the Taiye Pool. It's like being cold, just looking at it makes people feel cold, let alone falling into the water.

"Zhixia, do you know where Concubine Mei fell into the water?"

"I heard that I accidentally lost my footing in the Lotus Pavilion."

Putting her hand on her forehead, she couldn't find the lotus pavilion because of the huge pool of Taiye, "Zhixia, go and ask others where the lotus pavilion is, I want to go and have a look."

"Miss, I heard that the place where Concubine Mei fell into the water has long been sealed off and is under special guard. No one can come near it."

This must be Yan Kang's will, but since she has come, she doesn't want to turn back, "Zhixia, let's walk slowly, we will meet if we are destined."

Walking, sure enough, before walking very far, I met a few eunuchs guarding a pavilion. When I got closer, I saw the words "Lotus Pavilion" on the pavilion. This place is actually a bit far from Chaofeng Palace, and it is not on the way. From Chaofeng Palace to this Lotus Pavilion, you even have to bypass Concubine Shu's Guangyuan Palace and Queen Mother's Guangqing Palace, frowning slightly, even if you want to die, you don't have to make such a big detour, and, again, In the cold night, Concubine Mei ran out of Chaofeng Palace alone. It is impossible for no one to notice. Ximo knows how many people are waiting for Concubine Mei. was discovered.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more strange about Concubine Mei's death, thinking about it, Ximo couldn't help approaching the Lotus Pavilion.

"Master Lan, please stop. It's not auspicious that someone has disappeared here recently. Please go to other places to play, Little Master Lan."

"This father-in-law, Ximo just wants to go for a walk in the pavilion. Is there anything auspicious or inauspicious, please let me go."

"This... Lan Xiaozhu, according to the emperor's order, because Concubine Mei of the Xiaoyao Palace drowned here and died. Therefore, no one in the palace can come near, so as not to bring bad luck to the palace."

"Eunuch, is our master an idler?" Just when the little eunuch refused to let Ximo go in, Zhi Xia growled angrily at the little eunuch.

"No...no, that's not the meaning of slave."

"Then what are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if you just walk around in the pavilion and don't touch everything here."

The little father-in-law was robbed by Zhixia, and he was speechless immediately. He thought that this place had been inspected several times by people from the Bureau of Criminal Affairs, and all the evidence that should be taken away had already been taken away, so he was not afraid of anyone coming in at all. After thinking for a while, the little eunuch stepped aside and said, "Young Master Lan, please do whatever you want." In broad daylight, everyone's every move is in the eyes of everyone here, and everyone in the palace knows that the emperor is very concerned about this six-year-old. The prince's concubine seems to be a bit special, even the reward is the most special, so the little eunuch let her go.

Ximo looked at her feet carefully as she walked. This is the only way to get to the Lotus Pavilion. Maybe she can find something from it if she is careful.

It was a cobblestone path, meandering and pointing directly to the lotus pavilion stretching into the Taiye Pond. It was cool and dry in autumn, and both sides of the path were lawns without trees, so even if it didn’t need to be cleaned, it was just a It's just a little dust, and at a glance, there is nothing but pebbles.

But he did not give up, walked slowly step by step, and saw that he was about to reach the center of the pavilion, but found nothing, and then went to the pavilion, except for the small road extending to the shore, the surrounding area of ​​the pavilion was full of water , Stretching out his hand to scoop it up, the water in the pool was icy cold to the bone, just touching it made people shiver uncontrollably, let alone jumping down alone.

But if it is said that it fell, there are railings all around the pavilion, and there are always railings three feet high, how could it be possible to slip and fall, unless you accidentally leaned back on the railing and fell into the water, But it was midnight, and it was a very cold day, so it would be really weird to come here to see the scenery.

The more I don't believe that Concubine Mei fell into the water by mistake, anyone who has seen the scene will not believe it.

But after careful inspection for a long time, nothing was found. Over there, the little eunuch guarding the pavilion kept looking at her, pacing around in place as if expecting her to leave. The little eunuch was afraid of being discovered. She can't eat him, so let's walk around.

Ximo rubbed her forehead, she really couldn't guess anything.

"Miss, are you uncomfortable?" Zhixia handed over her hand, and Zhixia signaled Ximo to walk with her hand. Ximo's eyes all fell on Zhixia's hand. She just took such a casual step, but the pebbles under her feet might as well loosen. , making her unsteady for a moment and fall to the side.

"Miss, be careful."

Zhixia yelled and pulled Ximo's hand subconsciously. Fortunately, Zhixia's pull didn't make her fall ugly, but she still sat on the cobblestone.

"Miss, are you okay?" Zhixia turned pale with fright, and wanted to help her up, but she didn't dare. They all said that it's best to stand up slowly by yourself if you fall down. Accidents will happen.

The pebbles are really sharp, and it hurts to sit on them. "I'm fine." She said, holding on to the pebbles, she was about to stand up, but when she dropped her hand, she touched a handful of soil between the pebbles. The brown soil was different from the color of the soil she saw when she walked all the way, which made her pay special attention.

"Zhixia, pull a piece of clothes, hurry up." Looking at the soil in surprise, maybe, the quality of the soil is evidence, proof of the identity of the assailant.

Zhixia pulled it off, Ximo carefully picked up a handful of soil and put it on the cloth, then quickly wrapped it up, "Zhixia, let's go."

The little eunuch thought she had fallen, and when he rushed over to see, Ximo had already packed the soil, so he didn't find anything.

Zhi Xia had sharp eyes, so naturally she didn't say anything, she was far away from the Lotus Pavilion, Zhi Xia said: "Miss, such a big discovery should be reported to the prince, maybe, the real culprit can be found out in this place."

"Go back to Qingxin Pavilion first." She wasn't panicking, but she was afraid that if the murderer found out that she had acquired this soil, then even she would be in danger.

He rushed back in a hurry, but Yan Mo didn't come back that night, "Miss, I don't think the soil should be from the palace. We have lived in the palace for some time, and there is really no soil in the palace." Auburn."

This person may have been appointed by the hidden murderer who killed Yan Mo's children one after another, or, there is another possibility, that person personally acted.
