The Evil King's Poison Pet: The Queen of Houmen

Chapter 149 Seeing the Intent
The sixth day of entering the palace

Since returning from the East Palace, Yun Xuan has been having trouble sleeping all night, always thinking about a series of recent events in her mind.

What is the queen's intention?What is your attitude towards her?And the murderer Xiaomazi, is it the same person who pushed Lin Yike into the water earlier?Yun Xuan was almost puzzled.

"Yunxuan, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you not sleep well last night?" When learning etiquette the next day, Murong Yi asked in a low voice while taking a break.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well." With a slight smile, she continued to repeat the movements taught by Madam Kong. There were few people today, and neither Lin Yi nor Huang Yingying came. It is said that she knelt down all day yesterday, and now her knees are swollen up.

"Hmph, it's really a fate, you didn't die like yesterday!" Xiao Jinse sneered at the side, she is the niece of Concubine De, what Concubine De did to her yesterday - of course she knows!
Yun Xuan didn't respond, she just smiled, she never took the initiative to provoke Xiao Jinse, one was disdain, and the other was unwilling.

"Go, ignore her."

Murong Yi hated the evil, and couldn't understand Xiao Jinse's actions, so she pulled Yun Xuan to sit aside and take a rest.

"How is Yike? Is it better?" Yun Xuan asked after wiping off her sweat.

Hearing this, Murong Yi nodded and said: "Fortunately, I can get out of bed already."

"She had a miscarriage, which is no different than any other illness. At least she has to lie in bed for half a month, and she can't go down to the ground at will." Yun Xuan said.

"Of course she knows this, but yesterday she heard about De Concubine looking for you, she was so anxious that she wanted to clarify it for you, so..." Murong Yichui pursed her lips, as if she didn't agree with De Concubine's actions. Eyes closed, expression faint.

"I am fine."

She hooked her lips and smiled, Yun Xuan probably already knew the answer, probably because Lin Yike wanted to look for her yesterday, but Madam Lin stopped her from coming.

"Yunxuan, Yike wanted me to say sorry to you. She said...she would be ashamed to see you. You helped her like that and almost risked your life, but in the end you were implicated by her and mistaken for the murderer."

Paraphrasing Lin Yike's words, when the incident happened yesterday, she happened to be beside Lin Yike, and saw Mrs. Lin ordered someone to block the door, and Lin Yike was not allowed to take half a step!
"Yike said that she had promised you that she would clarify the rumors for you, but she never thought that she was too incompetent. When you needed her explanation most, she could only be stuck in the room... She is sorry for you, but fortunately you were enough yesterday. Clever, if it weren't for this, in this life...she might have to live with guilt, and her conscience would be troubled."

"Tell her not to think so. Under the circumstances at that time, how could she compete with Mrs. Lin with her body? I understand." Yun Xuan smiled lightly, and she really didn't mind.Originally, she didn't expect Lin Yike to help her clarify something?After all, she is also a soft-spoken person who can't help herself.

"Yunxuan, you are so kind. If something like this happened to me, I'm afraid I would have been stunned to death."

Seeing what Yun Xuan said, as if she really didn't care, Murong Yi nodded affirmatively, and gave her a thumbs up, sincerely admiring her!

"If you come from a family like yours, I guess they wouldn't dare to do that." He laughed teasingly, a little self-deprecating.But the words are rough and the rationale is not rough, this is the truth.The reason why Concubine De dared to attack her was because her family background was not high enough and her status was not high enough. Even if she died... no one would say anything.

"Yunxuan, can I ask you a question?"

After pondering for a while, Murong Yi seemed to be a little hesitant, and seemed to have some doubts, which had been bothering her for a long time.

"what?"

It was rare for Murong Yi to talk to her so much, Yun Xuan felt that she must have something to do.

"Yunxuan, it is said that His Royal Highness has a special liking for you, and you, do you also love him? That's why you love my house so much, and you can do your best for Yi...?"

It seemed that even he thought it was absurd, but no matter what, this question - Murong Yi had to figure it out.

"I'm in love with His Highness the Fourth Highness? Miss Murong, are you joking? Didn't you already know the situation when you first entered the palace that day?"

It was about the first day when Xiao Linxing forcibly broke into her room and Murong Yi heard the movement next door.From that moment on, she should understand her mind and shouldn't ask such absurd questions.

"I know, I just... just to make sure." Pursing her lips, Murong Yi felt a little embarrassed, and Murong Yi was apologetic and a little bit ashamed.

"confirm?"

Frowning, not understanding what she meant, Yun Xuan looked at Murong Yi intently, as if she realized that she had many secrets.

"If Ms. Murong has something to say, please speak up. Yun Xuan never knows how to guess people's hearts." Straight to the point, Murong Yi must have something to do with his twists and turns today, not just idleness.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Yun Xuan, I heard that before Concubine De summoned you yesterday, the Second Prince...showed his love to you?" Murong Yi hesitated and said.

Hearing this, Yun Xuan was slightly taken aback, then straightened her body: How did she know?Remember when Xiao Junxing spoke yesterday, didn't she go to see Lin Yike?And at that time, it was only myself and Xiao Junxing, there was no one else.

"It's nothing, the Second Highness is just joking." Immediately cleared the relationship, because she knew the relationship between Xiao Junxing and Murong Yi, Yun Xuan didn't want to provoke any rivals in love, after all, it was already annoying enough to have Xiao Jinse getting in the way. Yun Xuan doesn't want to come again!

"joke……"

After carefully chewing these two words, Murong Yi did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan thought she didn't believe it, and was about to express her sincerity further——
But at this time, Murong Yi looked up, looked at Yun Xuan firmly, and said slowly: "I think...you can promise him."

what?
Did she hear it right? !

Murong Yi... let herself agree to Xiao Junxing's love show?Ah!

I'm speechless, I don't know how to sing this?Yun Xuan shook her head, and had no choice but to remind seriously: "Miss Murong, whether it is the Fourth Highness or the Second Highness, it has nothing to do with me. You should know that I am Ning Shizi concubine appointed by the Holy Majesty, and I will marry Ninghou in the future. to the government."

"Imperial appointment? So what about imperial appointment...things in this world are changing rapidly, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?" She smiled faintly, as if she disagreed with Yun Xuan's words.I saw Murong Yi staring at the person with both eyes, his gaze was unprecedentedly serious and determined!

"Yunxuan, think about it, I'm doing it for your own good. Do you think Ninghou's Mansion is good? Please don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Maybe you think you are just a concubine. It's okay to marry into the Marquis' Mansion to be the wife and mistress of the house. The blessings you cultivated in your previous life! But you may not know that in the Ninghou Mansion, there is a well-known Princess Huai! She has ruled the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and she is an extremely powerful person!"

"Although the old Marquis Ning had his last words before his death, saying that he would let Ning Shizi inherit the title, the power in Ninghou's mansion is all in the hands of Princess Huai after all. Could it be that she will just helplessly watch Ning Shizi take everything away, instead of doing it for him?" Make plans for your own son? Let your son become the new Marquis? This is simply impossible!"

"So... Ninghou's mansion is an abyss, an abyss! Everyone can see that Ning Shizi can't beat Princess Huai, and he will lose the most in the end! And you can imagine what will happen if you follow him. What will happen to you? Absolutely! So I advise you, I sincerely advise you, for your own future...accept the second prince's proposal."

Murong Yi spoke with great sincerity. He thought he was devoted to Yun Xuan, and was even afraid that Yun Xuan might have concerns, so he went on to say: "Listen to me, Yun Xuan, although the Second Prince is not favored by the Holy One, he is still It's the empress's son, and the name is justified! Now that the two kings are fighting for the heir, although the voice of the fourth highness is very loud, there are still many people in the court who support the second highness, and the second highness is not alone."

"Anyway, the Second Highness has a noble status. He is willing to condescend to beg you in such a humble way. He has you in mind. As long as you promise him, I think he will treat you well in the future. Maybe it will be a great cause." Cheng—the queen's throne will be yours in the future!"

"Think about it, the empress and the concubine, which is more important? Which is more noble? Yun Xuan, you are a smart person, so I won't say too much. I hope you can seriously consider it yourself, but don't miss the opportunity... ...!"

Murong Yi moved with emotion, understood with reason, and kept saying that it was for Yun Xuan's good.

And Yun Xuan smiled lightly, although her face was calm, but she sneered coldly in her heart, and slightly mocked, "Who is Miss Murong, the Second Highness, who is acting as a lobbyist for him like this? I don't know... I thought Miss Murong admired him." Second Highness, I have a soft spot."

"You, what are you talking about? How could I fall in love with the Second Highness?! I have nothing to do with the Second Highness, I just put myself in your shoes and think about you. Don't be ignorant of good people."

Perhaps it was because the central matter was being talked about, Murong Yi was slightly taken aback, and his words were a little sharp.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan didn't speak, but just smiled lightly, after all, what the truth is...she knew it.I'm sorry, who made her accidentally catch them playing field battle that night?Lovely!
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. Ms. Murong, have you finished speaking? I'm going back now. I can't do these moves well after Madam Kong taught me. I just want to go back and practice more. Several times."

Get up and speak politely.Although Yun Xuan and Murong Yi have mutual friends, in fact they have a normal relationship and are not very close friends.

"Yunxuan, are you really not going to think about it?!"

Seeing that Yun Xuan was about to leave, Murong Yi also stood up, as if surprised and surprised by this result!

"Sorry, I don't think I need to think about it. Goodbye." Even though she stopped, Yun Xuan didn't look back. After leaving these two words, she got up and left.

"You will regret this--"

Knowing that his persuasion was fruitless, Murong Yi clenched his fists tightly, not knowing whether it was out of anger or something else, he rashly said this nonsense!
*

regret……?
Yun Xuan smiled, did not respond, and went into the room instead.

She didn't sleep well in the past two days, and she was just recovering from a serious illness, so there was no accident, she just lay down on the bed and needed to catch up on sleep.

But even though it's about getting sleep, as long as Yun Xuan closes her eyes, all the chaos of these days will involuntarily flood into her mind, and she can't shake it off.

Lin Yike fell into the water, she was assassinated, the concubine De's slander, and the empress, Xiao Linxing, and Murong Yi's anomalies... It really gave her a headache!
Hehe, when it comes to this Murong Yi, Yun Xuan is also strange.Obviously she and Xiao Junxing are on a blind date, but she insists on pushing Yun Xuan into Xiao Junxing's arms?In the end... what was her idea?
Yun Xuan was speechless, she closed her eyes and shook her head, thinking that some people just can't figure out what they think, as the saying goes, the world is so big, there are no surprises!It seems that she, Murong Yi...is a completely wonderful flower!

Forget it, decided not to think about it, Yun Xuan was just about to turn over and change her position to sleep, but in a flash——a flash of light flashed in her mind, and the next moment, she sat up abruptly, with a dazed expression, shocked and surprised, It seems... Figured out something!
Got it, she got it!All of these are connected in series like this!

No wonder the queen did what she did yesterday, deliberately keeping her pony up so she could find out the flaws... So that's the plan!
Xiao Junxing was arrogant and rude to himself at first, but he turned around and ran to apologize to himself.At first, she thought that he had found out with his conscience——now it seems... It was all because of the Queen's order!
I really don't know whether to cry or laugh?I was so lucky to be favored by the most scheming queen in the harem today, and even moved my mind!
Perhaps the queen began to be interested in her when she offered the beauty ointment, so that the assassination in the lake happened later.

In fact, the queen didn't want to put her to death at all, but just wanted to test her ability, so she sent a pony who was not good at legs and feet. First, it was indeed to give herself an excuse to shirk after the incident; It is to leave clues for her, let her follow the clues, find the murderer, and prove her ability!

Hehe, the queen's scheming is really unmatched!If she hadn't been able to prove herself yesterday——I'm afraid she would have become the soul of Concubine De's sword!
And once she has the ability, she will fall into the queen's trap, so it's a matter of course...the matter of Murong Yi's persuasion of marriage happened today.

It seems that the queen still appreciates her ability, and thinks that she has the ability to help the second prince stand out in the current chaos of seizing the crown prince!

But I'm sorry, she didn't have this intention, she had to do it all over again, so she didn't want to get involved in these complicated things again!I'm not even interested in the position of a young bird!

Isn't that why Murong Yi came to persuade him today, isn't that the intention?First offer up your sweetheart, and let other women help him conquer the world and put an end to chaos!When she is successful and famous, everything will be peaceful—at that time, she, Yunxuan, is useless, and she can do what she should do. It's time for her, Murong Yi, to appear on the stage, ascend the throne of the queen, and be with her sweetheart Let's laugh together to see the world!
Today, Yun Xuan finally understands why Xiao Junxing refuses to announce her relationship with Murong Yi to the public... So it turned out to be the case!Ridiculous!

Why should she be a stepping stone for them?Let them step on her dead body?Just dream, the wishful thinking is too good!
Yun Xuan's eyes were cold, and her heart was ridiculed.But at the same time, she seems to have discovered another problem - that is, since the queen's target is her, it is impossible to attack Lin Yike at the same time!Moreover, she was also present at that time, the person who pushed Lin Yike into the water was a person with agility and quick movements, not a pony with inconvenient legs and feet!
So... who is attacking Lin Yike?This is a problem.

Seventh day of entering the palace

Huang Yingying and Lin Yike still didn't come.

Lin Yi is sure, the miscarriage is bedridden, and it is estimated that she will not come for the rest of the day.Moreover, I heard that the Queen had a suggestion, because Lin Yike was weak and needed to rest in bed, and asked to postpone her wedding with Xiao Linxing.

Postpone the wedding?Xiao Linxing had no objection, and Lin Yike surprisingly had no objection either, but Concubine De was relentless and resolutely refused to give in!It seems... She needs the power of the Lin family so much to help her son rise to power!
Concubine De and the Empress held their own opinions. As for whether the wedding will be postponed in the end, there is still no conclusion. People from all walks of life can only wait and see for now, and are not in a hurry to stand in line.

As for Huang Yingying, her knees have actually healed early, and after applying the secret ointment from the palace, it is said that the swelling subsided within a day, but she refused to come out because of face, and she also wanted to make things worse, so that more people would be injured. People know that she has been wronged, so they can come to comfort her when they turn around... It is best for the empress or the concubine Defei to come!
Xiao Jinse was still neither yin nor yang, and sneered at Yun Xuan a few times when nothing happened.Yun Xuan ignored her, and went back to her room after class.They met Murong Yi on the way, the two of them didn't speak, they just nodded slightly as a greeting.

The ten-day period of entering the palace this time has now passed seven out of ten. To be honest, Yun Xuan hopes that the days will pass quickly. Although she is not the original Yun Xuan, at this moment, she still misses her little girl very much. nest.

"Knock knock knock."

A knock on the door brought Yun Xuan back to her thoughts.Looking up, she was stunned, Yu Wuxue was dressed in moon white, handsome and elegant standing outside the door, and said softly: "Can I come in...?"
