Chapter 71: Protecting the Emperor 9

Wen Chuyao thought for a moment, and she probably frightened her by asking this question, so she quickly changed her words: "Do you think I am a bad person?"

Xing'er immediately shook her head and said, "My wife, you are a good person. It's all my fault that Xing'er was confused for a moment. In fact, your mother is as good a person as my mother-in-law."

Wen Chuyao smiled and said, "Xing'er, can you tell me the story of your first master?"

Xing'er asked timidly: "Are you talking about Empress Yuexiang?"

Wen Chuyao said: "Yeah, tell me what kind of person she is, okay?"

Xing'er nodded and said: "I was still very young at that time, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old. Because I was stupid, I was sent here and there by many empresses in the palace, but none of them wanted me. Later, empress Yuexiang took me in.

"

"Empress Yuexiang is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her skin is as white as jade. She is kind and gentle to others. Sometimes, she is also very naughty. She doesn't have many maids, just two. We often follow her to catch butterflies and fireflies. Yue

Empress Xiang is like a fairy."

"But Empress Yuexiang doesn't like to interact with other empresses, and she almost never interacts with the emperor. The emperor almost doesn't know her existence. Empress Yuexiang likes to live alone. She often says that if she has the chance, her biggest wish is

Leave the palace and live your own life."

"Later, the emperor came to see her. She was very sad, but she soon calmed down. Yuexiang's character was completely aloof from the world. She thought that if she could give birth to a child, she would live in this deep palace compound.

It's like having an extra companion, so she was very happy when she found out she was pregnant."

"But the empress did not tell anyone the news, including the emperor. The empress often did some work by herself, such as growing vegetables, such as sewing. After she became pregnant, all the clothes were handed over to the servants for washing. I remember one time we were

We were tired from washing the clothes, so the queen brought us a pot of red dates and longan porridge that she had just cooked, and the three of us sat in the yard and drank happily."

When she heard this, Wen Chuyao's eyes were filled with tears. She said, "It seems that Empress Yuexiang is really a good person. You are really lucky to follow her."

Xing'er suddenly felt very sad, and she blamed herself: "But it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told my sister about Yuexiang Empress giving birth to a boy. This way, I wouldn't have harmed Yuexiang Empress, and what happened later would not have happened."

It’s my fault that Xing’er was too stupid and heartless at the time, and she didn’t know what to say when she was happy. Xing’er was so troublesome that she was harmed.”

While shedding tears, Wen Chuyao patted her head and said, "It's all over. I believe that good people are rewarded. She must be living a good life now and will be fine."

Just as he was talking, Yue'er knocked on the door and came in. Seeing both of them crying, Yue'er looked puzzled and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Xing'er, why did you make my mother-in-law cry?"

Already?"

Wen Chuyao said: "Don't blame Xing'er, Yue'er, look at you, your temper is getting worse and worse, and you are always so rude to Xing'er. After all, she is the wife of Concubine Meng. You should be nicer to her, you know.

?”

Yue'er nodded.

The three of them had breakfast together. Wen Chuyao thought that now that things have happened, it is time to meet Meng Lin, and Meng Lin should have guessed it.

Wen Chuyao came to Meng Lin's palace and saw Meng Lin and Die'er together, so she gave a look and asked Die'er to go down, but Meng Lin stopped her and said, "It's time for us to discuss this with Die'er.

Already."

Die'er was stunned there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Wen Chuyao understood what Meng Lin meant and said, "Die'er, then you stay and listen to my sister."

The three of them came to the small courtyard. Wen Chuyao deliberately looked around and said, "Sister, do you think this man in black is nearby?"

Meng Lin said: "Never mind him, it would be better if he was here so that he could go back and inform his master that the game has changed. Who knows and who secretly wants to re-divide the division of labor?"

After saying that, Wen Chuyao and Meng Lin looked at Die'er together. Die'er knew that everything could no longer be contained. Her expression suddenly became calm, and her eyes were no longer afraid, as if she had seen through life and death in an instant.

She said calmly: "Masters, if you need me for anything, just ask me. I know everything and tell you everything I know."

Wen Chuyao and Meng Lin both smiled coldly, and then Meng Lin said: "You are just listening on the side. I don't need you to say anything for the time being. I just want you to tell the truth when I ask you.

Now, you also understand in your heart."

Die'er nodded, her mind must be clearer than ever at this moment.

Wen Chuyao asked Meng Lin, "You already know who it is, right?"

Meng Lin smiled and said, "You know it, right?"

Haha, the two people laughed at the same time, and then Wen Chuyao's face suddenly showed sadness, and Meng Lin said: "Have you figured out what to do?"

Wen Chuyao said: "Not yet, because I still can't figure out the reason."

Meng Lin said with a smile: "Do you need any more reason for this? You should be more ruthless about this matter. Once it is solved, everything will be settled, so that there will be no future troubles."

Wen Chuyao shook her head with difficulty and said, "You won't understand, because it was not Xing'er who made the mistake."

Meng Lin was stunned.

Wen Chuyao finally turned to Die'er and asked coldly: "It's your turn now. Tell me why she wanted to kill the emperor?"

Die'er's face was as calm as a piece of white paper. This was not the calmness and calmness that an ordinary maid should have. She said slowly, neither humble nor arrogant, "I really don't know. I only know that she is a good person. She is absolutely

Not for myself."

Wen Chuyao and Meng Lin were stunned at the same time. There was no doubt that what Die'er said at this time could no longer be a lie, but these two people were in trouble at the same time, so who was it for?

Meng Lin suddenly interrupted Wen Chuyao, who was in deep thought, and said, "Forget it, don't think so much, just do what you have to do. If you can't bear it, I will do it on your behalf."

Before Wen Chuyao could react, suddenly a dart flew by, and Meng Lin was stabbed in the chest on the spot. Black blood immediately gushes out like spring water. Wen Chuyao was stunned and immediately called for someone: "Here comes someone.

, Assassin! Come quickly, there is an assassin!"

The entire backyard was suddenly surrounded by heavy soldiers. At the same time, Wen Chuyao saw the mark on the dart, which belonged to Chenxiang Palace. Wen Chuyao was heartbroken. She looked at the note attached to the dart, which read: "Within three days."

Don't step out of the bedroom, the antidote will be delivered to you."

Wen Chuyao immediately carried Meng Lin into the bedroom with everyone. After settling Meng Lin, Wen Chuyao's heart almost fell into the bottomless abyss. Fire and ice together tested Wen Chuyao's heart.

She returned to her bedroom weakly. As expected, she saw Yue'er already waiting for her in her room. Seeing Yue'er, she seemed to see the despair deep in her heart that she had never wanted to admit.
