Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 26 Epiphyllum grows on the water, and red lotus appears in the snow

Xiao Ye's eyes were full of disbelief, and there was no blood on his lips.

That was the promise he made to Song Rao, how could the little prince know?
Looking down again, the mottled blood on the snow dripped all the way, smudged on the white snow, mixed with some plum petals, like red lotuses in full bloom.

Xiao Ye quickly looked into the lake again.

The blood on the surface of the lake is spreading along the periphery, and the ice under the blood is slowly melting, until the last small piece of ice and snow melts, and the blood disappears into the water, just like a flash in the pan.

"Who told you?" Xiao Ye shook the little prince's shoulders as if losing his mind.

The little prince cried even louder, "It's a sister."

elder sister?

Xiao Ye immediately thought of Yu Moying whom he had just met in the dormitory, and walked back quickly without looking back. Regardless of the mess behind him, Concubine Li was still kneeling in the snow in astonishment with.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Eunuch Xu asked with concern, although Xiao Ye is prone to anger, he rarely loses control like this.

The last time he got out of control was more than a year ago. Song Rao pretended to go to the prison to rescue Song Chutian, and led away the pursuers. After Xiao Ye received the news, he rushed to the forest in person, but he mistook Song Rao for Song Chutian, which made people let go. Arrow thought he had killed Song Rao with his own hands, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell into a coma for three days and three nights, and only woke up after being treated by more than a dozen imperial doctors.
Xiao Ye didn't listen to Eunuch Xu's words at all, but kept searching in the dormitory, his eyes seemed to be longing for something.

A few plum blossoms remained on the ground, but the girl had disappeared.

The sandalwood cabinet seemed to have been turned over, and Xiao Ye didn't have time to take care of it. He just wanted to find the answer.

The bloodstains lead to Concubine Li's bedroom, could it be there?

After thinking about it, Xiao Ye ran out again without even using his car.

Eunuch Xu didn't understand what Xiao Ye was looking for, and it was not easy to disturb him, so he had to ask more people to follow.

The palace people in Concubine Li's dormitory all knelt down when they saw Xiao Ye coming. Behind the orange veil inside, three women were revealed, one old, one middle-aged and one young.

Xiao Ye lifted the curtain, and Yu Moyan, the second wife, and the old lady inside were all frightened a lot.

Yu Moyan looked at the strange man in front of her curiously, she lowered her head despite her daughter's shyness, the few of them were in the same situation as Concubine Li just now, they all felt dizzy

"I have seen His Majesty."

After being reminded by the old lady, Yu Moying and the second lady realized that the son in front of them was the current emperor, and unconsciously followed suit.

Xiao Ye didn't reply, his eyes lingered on Yu Moyan's face for a long time, after confirming that she was not that person over and over again, he turned around and walked out of Concubine Li's bedroom in disappointment.

Seeing that Xiao Ye stared at Yu Moyan for so long, the second lady must have been interested in her. In addition, his appearance is one of the best, and Concubine Li has also had an accident. She couldn't help but burst into joy. It was Mo Ying's first secret cooperation, and it really paid off.

But she was also a little worried. About Xiao Ye and Yu Moyan, someone should tell Concubine Li soon. She didn't want to send her daughter to the palace when Concubine Li's power was at its peak.

Xiao Ye returned to Meilin once again, looking at the blossoming "red lotus" on the snow, his eyes were stained with a layer of sadness, and his steps were not steady, but thanks to Xu Gonggong's support, he did not fall .

Two years ago, at Princess Ruyang's mansion, he saw Song Rao who had been reduced to a slave for the first time. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, her bright smile overshadowed all the flowers and made him take her back to the palace desperately. middle.Song Rao was very afraid of him from the beginning, and every time he came to her, she would hide in a corner and hold a pair of scissors against her neck to threaten him, not letting him approach.

But he still reached out to hold the tip of the knife and forced her.The tip of the knife was embedded in the palm, and blood oozes out. He showed the blood to Song Rao, saying that his affection for her would one day lead to lotus flowers blooming on the snow and epiphyllum to bloom in the water, the colors were as bright as blood.
Now, after Song Rao's death, it seems that this has really come true, but it is constantly piercing his heart.

Scattered plum blossom petals landed on Xiao Ye's temples, and he gradually came to his senses.

"Search the entire palace and find a girl with a wound on her neck. Remember, don't let Concubine Li know."

Xiao Ye's exhaled breath could be faintly seen in the air. Eunuch Xu was ordered to go to work, but he suddenly remembered about hunting.

"Your Majesty, will the hunting in the afternoon continue as usual?"

"as usual."

Xiao Ye didn't turn his face to look at Eunuch Xu, but still had a disappointed expression.

At this moment, He Lianyu's carriage returned to the gate of the palace.

Yu Moying followed He Lianyu out of the carriage and entered the palace again smoothly.She quickened her pace, and it would be suspicious if she didn't go back for too long.

However, before Yu Moying could take a few steps, He Lianyu grabbed her.

There is a group of palace soldiers in front, carefully watching the necks of every passing girl.

He Lianyu took Yu Moying into his arms.Yu Moying wrapped her cloak tightly, and buried her head deeply in He Lianyu's arms. She knew that Xiao Ye went back to check after Meilin's incident and became suspicious.

"Hey, you asked the girl in your arms to take off the cloak and let us see her neck."

An unknown soldier came towards them.

Yu Moying's hand tightly grasped He Lianyu's clothes, this guy, why doesn't his heart beat very fast at any time, doesn't he get nervous?

"Blind your dog eyes! This is His Royal Highness King Yu of Beiming." Another soldier came over and took away the soldier who seemed to be new.

"His Royal Highness Yu Wang, I just offended you and your concubine."

A group of soldiers ran away in despair.

The sound of footsteps disappeared for a long time, and Yu Moying did not lie still in He Lianyu's arms.

"People are gone."

He Lianyu lowered his eyes and said lightly.

Yu Moying let out a groan before raising her head.

She took off Xueqing Kesi's ermine cloak, stuffed it to He Lianyu, and hurriedly walked to Concubine Li's bedroom.

He Lianyu hesitated, then put the cloak on Yu Moying again, "This cloak is for you."

"I just don't want others to misunderstand that you have something to do with the Yu Mansion."

Yu Moying let go of her defenses and smiled at He Lianyu, feeling in her heart that, as a hostage of another country, he could obtain prosperity and wealth in Huaxi Kingdom on the surface, but the ruler of Huaxi Kingdom is guarding him everywhere, and Get someone to watch him.If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

In the final analysis, they are all the same people, with their own goals, struggling through adversity, and sharing the same destiny.

He Lianyu didn't say anything, and smiled back, like a spring breeze.

Yu Moying was stunned for a moment, this usually cold man actually smiled, and he smiled so nicely.

Concubine Li knelt in the snow for a long time before Xiao Ye sent someone to help her back to her bedroom, but Xiao Ye didn't mention the little prince returning it to her.This can't help but give her a little headache.

"Why did it take so long to change clothes?"

When Yu Moying came back, Concubine Li was upset, so she glanced casually.

"Oh, after I changed my clothes, I followed Lady Dong to the Merlin by Tingxue Lake, but I don't know why the little prince appeared there. Lady Dong was in a hurry and went to take care of the little prince, so I thought Do you want to go back and tell your empress, I didn't expect to get lost in the palace and come back now."

Yu Moying still replied peacefully.

"Stop talking about Merlin in front of this palace!"

When the matter of Mei Lin and the little prince was brought up, Concubine Li's chest felt a pang of anger. She was obviously using it to get rid of Zhang Meiren and Yu Moying. How could it have turned out like that in the end?

Yu Moying saw the second lady sitting on one side, and looked at her tacitly.

If it weren't for the cooperation with the second lady, this play would not be able to go on.She doesn't have avatars.

Earlier, when I was in the mansion, I heard the old lady say that Xiao Ye only brought Li Meiren, Zhang Meiren, and Li Concubine to the palace, and Zhang Meiren had a flamboyant personality, and she didn't get along with Li Concubine, and Li Concubine wanted to pick things up in the palace. The best candidate is her.

The bottle of Kui poison was prepared by Yu Moying for the second lady before she came to the palace. When Lady Dong was concentrating on arguing with the little prince in Meilin, she took the opportunity to throw the poison into Dong's sleeve.

As for the place where Concubine Li wanted to frame her, it was also after she came to the palace, and she knew from Concubine Li's words that she deliberately approached the second lady at that time, and asked her to send someone to coax the little prince to come to Meilin, and explain What to say.

The red lotus in the snow and the epiphyllum in the water are used by her to disturb Xiao Ye's mind, make him believe that some things are determined by God, and downplay the pursuit of someone who went to him to steal things.

The blood melted on the lake because she added green vitriol to it, and it was quite difficult to drip the red lotus shape on the snow. She tried it with pig blood for a long time in Yu Mansion.

Yu Moying glanced behind the screen again, the broken incense burner had been removed.In fact, there is nothing wrong with her incense. It is mainly the tail incense after the censer was overturned. It is mixed with anchovies, Polu incense, chicken bone incense, and leaf aroma, which can make people feel tired and fall asleep.

The whole process is the grasp of time.Fortunately, none of the links in the middle were stubbled.

"All of you, prepare well. The hunt will be in the afternoon. I heard that there is a heroic daughter in the Gong family who is good at riding. The young lady of Yu Mansion should not be ashamed."

Concubine Li was in a bad mood, so she casually explained something about hunting to them, and asked them to prepare lunch.

After lunch, the second wife purposely approached Yu Moying when Concubine Li was on her lunch break, and whispered something.

"Aying, I heard that His Majesty originally planned to hand over the little prince to Concubine Cheng, but later returned it to Concubine Li."

Yu Moying lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, "Second Aunt, you should understand that the eldest sister has not been in the harem for a day or two. Moreover, with the power of her father in the court, His Majesty will not easily touch Concubine Li. But if When His Majesty is angry, it will be different if you add more fire."

She said so, but she also had doubts in her heart.

Keeping things quiet is not like Xiao Ye's style.No matter how much he defends Concubine Li and blocks the matter of Concubine Li instigating people to use Kui poison, he should find someone to take the blame.

The second lady is also a sensible person. She asked Yu Moying these words just to verify whether her thoughts were the same as her own.

"Second Aunt, Second Sister is well prepared for the hunt in the afternoon."

Yu Moying put down the teacup, and said something to the second lady.

"what?"

The second lady's eyes first had doubts, then hesitation, and finally turned into affirmation.

Yu Moying smiled heartily, the hunting meeting in the afternoon should be very exciting.
