Chapter 81: Weeping Blood
Full Moon's gaze was always cold as water, his eyes moved away from everyone, and he did not look at Lin Jian, who followed his gaze behind him, his thin lips opened lightly, and his cool voice was no warmth.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to escort him personally. The Weiyang Palace is very strict. The minister is just a weak woman with no power to tie a chicken. She can't carry her hands and can't lift her shoulders, and can't escape. Why should the Crown Prince do this forever?"
Even if the queen is satisfied with her, Man Yue treats Lin Jian with this attitude at this moment.
She and Lin Jian had a tacit understanding of Lin Donghe's assassination, but it does not mean that Lin Jian can challenge her bottom line as she pleases in any occasion.
At this time, a certain master who had been silent had slashed the corner of his mouth hard. Although this expression flashed, it was keenly captured by Nian Zheng beside him. Nian Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his heart was in his throat the next moment.
This was the first time he saw the fifth prince have such an expression.
A certain master raised his head and said that his peerless face was as calm as the lake surface at this moment. Although it was still, it did not lose its elegance and elegance, proud and unparalleled in the world.
When Linghu Pingxue looked at Lin Dongyao who looked up, her eyes stagnated for a moment. Even though Lin Donghe showed a very obvious favor to her, how could Linghu Pingxue's heart be satisfied? Although Lin Donghe is also handsome and majestic, there is indeed a gap compared to Lin Dongyao who is so gorgeous.
But Lin Dongyao was so cold to her. She ignored her requests for help before and let her be taken advantage of by Lin Ran. She was too arrogant! Linghu Pingxue is the number one beauty in Kyoto. Even if Lin Dongyao is loved by all means, her status is higher than that of the prince. Is she so cold?
Lin Dongyao's eyes seemed to sweep across the crowd casually, but it fell accurately on the face of the Moon. He happened to see her side face at this angle, quiet and beautiful, without makeup, and seemed innocent and simple, but the eyes were the eternal ice that had not melted all year round.
She is a weak woman? So who else in the world is not a weak woman?
She can't carry her hands on her shoulders and can't lift her hands? Then was the fire from the He family released by a ghost?
Is she unable to tie a chicken? She can still bite people to death with a clever tone! I don’t know who was Xue Yamei who breathed at the gate of Weiyang Palace before and almost vomited blood!
What she knows best is to lie with your eyes open!
At this moment, Man Yue faintly felt two scrutiny and teasing eyes looking at him on the side of her side. She didn't have to turn her head and knew where these two gazes came from. Since her rebirth, the only thing that could put pressure on her eyes was Lin Dongyao!
They fought for ten years in the last life! But she never paid attention to what his eyes were! At that time, there was only Lin Donghe in the center of her eyes! In this life, she was reincarnated as a human being, and her vision was broadened again and she saw everything she had once ignored-
The full moon held back Lin Dongyao's aggressive gaze and walked forward with his foot.
Behind her, Linghu Pingxue's eyes when she looked at her back were covered with a strong murderous aura. The next moment, she was gently covered by Ruoshui.
"I wonder if my elder sister can turn bad luck this time. I am not able to help me as a sister now. I am anxious but have no choice. What should I do?" Linghu Pingxue started acting again, but Lin Donghe was heartbroken by the side.
"Miss Pingxue doesn't need to be anxious. If Linghu Manyue really did it, it's his own fault. If she is innocent, the empress dowager will make a decision. Now no one can help her." Lin Donghe whispered Linghu Pingxue. Lin Ran, who was beside him, was also a little anxious when he saw it, and couldn't help but step forward to Linghu Pingxue and approach it and approached her.
"Sister Pingxue, it's so heartbreaking to see you are so anxious. Linghu Manyue has you, a good sister, that is really a blessing I have cultivated in her previous life!"
Before stepping out of the hall, Man Yue heard Lin Ran's words. She stopped suddenly, her clear eyes were frozen, but she was like an arrow in an instant. A trace of bloody blood was clearly and shrill in her cold eyes.
This bloody color condensed with a strong murderous aura, as if it was about to destroy everything in the world in an instant, with a terrifying and strong aura.
The four guards escorting Man Yue were all stunned at the same time. They were about to speak and urge Man Yue, but when they saw the cold air in her eyes, they stopped at the same time and looked at each other. Cold sweat appeared on their backs, and the cold wind blew by, and they all shivered.
Lin Jian, who was originally with an angry expression, vaguely saw the blood-colored cold air flowing out of the moon's eyes in an instant. His eyes flashed, and somewhere in his heart seemed to be suddenly stabbed by a needle, and his heart contracted and painfully.
What kind of past will bring such a terrifying cold light in her eyes?
Did she experience any terrible past that others don’t know about before?
Lin Jian’s greatest curiosity about the Moon has always been due to her extraordinary calmness and indifference. In the west courtyard of the Hou Mansion, he stood behind her with a scarf covered in blood, and raised his sword to kill the maid Hongxia. From beginning to end, she never showed a trace of fear in her eyes, and it was as quiet as a painting.
But when bandaging him the wound, it gave him a vivid and lively feeling. After learning about his identity, he started a deal with him without hesitation! This girl - if she was either a sarcastic heart or a heartless love!
But why did she be so determined and leave no room for anything?
Lin Jian couldn't guess thoroughly, and he felt even more confused and uncomfortable.
Lin Dongyao also witnessed the bloody cold light in the eyes of the full moon.
With similar gazes, this is the second time Lin Dongyao has seen him in his life. The first time he came from his mother, Concubine An! It was when he was seven years old. When the mother, who woke up seriously ill, was such a horrible and determined look in her eyes when she saw her father! Lin Dongyao still remembers it vividly!
He had investigated Linghu Manyue before, but the news he sent back was obviously different from her now.
What exactly has she suffered before?
——
Full Moon was taken to the backyard by the guards.
The Empress Dowager was standing upright on both sides. The next yard was still working to lift the divine stones during the construction period. If the divine stones were successfully lifted and placed properly, the Empress Dowager would definitely reward Linghu Pingxue later. But if the divine stones were-
A sneer flashed quickly in the eyes of the Moon.
The seemingly seamless drawing has a fatal flaw!
Soon this shortcoming will bring a fatal blow to Linghu Pingxue!
"Empress Dowager, Linghu Manyue is here." Eunuch Zhao whispered in the empress dowager's ear.
The Empress Dowager turned her head and looked at the yard next to her with the divine stone hanging in full swing. She looked at the scene in front of her, and didn't know whether to frown or let go.
Seeing Linghu Pingxue standing beside Concubine Jin, the empress dowager waved to ask Eunuch Zhao to give Linghu Pingxue a seat.
"Linghu Pingxue, no matter whether Linghu Manyue is guilty today, you are a hero in the drawing matter. Eunuch Zhao, please sit down." After the empress dowager finished speaking, Linghu Pingxue's eyes trembled slightly, and she immediately knelt down to thank her.
Before, everyone sat in the hall and couldn't show it, but now in the backyard, except for the Empress Dowager, Empress Jin Concubine, as well as the prince and several princes, everyone else stood. The Empress Dowager's gift to sit at this time is naturally a great gift.
Even though Linghu Pingxue is usually a steady and gentle expression, it is difficult to hide excitement and pride in his eyes now.
Eunuch Zhao brought someone to move a pear blossom chair and a little behind Concubine Jin. Linghu Manyue sat steadily with the envious eyes of the daughters of other aristocratic families. At this moment, the eyes looking at Manyue were even more proud.
I had known for a long time that once I entered the palace, Linghu Manyue would not be her opponent at all!
"Come, carry the body up." As the Queen Mother finished speaking, a shrill cry suddenly sounded under the arch of the yard.
"My daughter - Yamei - Yamei! My daughter! Woowoowoo-woo--"
The one who cried was not someone else, but Xue Yamei's mother, Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister of Rites.
Li was less than forty years old and was Li, the former wife of Xue Zhao, the Minister of Rites. Li was a distant relative of the second wife and was also considered to be related to the second wife's family, so he often took Xue Yamei to visit the Hou Mansion. Xue Yamei and Linghu Zilu had a very good relationship. Li originally hoped that his daughter would be closer to the daughter of the Hou Mansion, which would naturally be beneficial in the future, but he didn't know that the second wife had already put the plan on Xue Yamei!
And it's a fatal calculation!
Li originally accompanied the Minister of Rites to attend the emperor's dinner at Chengqian Palace. When the Empress Dowager sent someone to inform her, she did not tell the emperor about the Weiyang Palace. Li only learned the details when he arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace. Seeing his daughter lying on the ground and feeling cold, Li immediately lay on the ground and was in great pain.
The empress dowager couldn't help but frowned, and her eyes signaled that Eunuch Zhao would bring Li up.
Li was lifted up by four palace maids, while the four guards carried Xue Yamei's body covered with thick cloth.
The body only had two feet exposed, but it also caused the daughters of aristocratic families to exclaim.
Linghu Pingxue hurriedly turned her head over.
Linghu Pingxue knew how Xue Yamei died. At this moment, she saw the cold corpse. Thinking that Xue Yamei, who was still jumping around in the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago, has now become a corpse. A chill flashed through Linghu Pingxue's heart. But if not, how could she put Linghu Manyue to death in Weiyang Palace?
My mother said that no one can let go of those who achieve great things!
Just Xue Yamei! Not worth mentioning! Even if her own sister Ling Hu Zilu still becomes a victim?
Thinking of this, the expression on Linghu Pingxue's face relaxed a little.
Behind the crying Li, the second wife's figure came unexpectedly.
"I have met the Queen Mother." The second wife knelt down to kowtow.
"You are the Marquis' Mansion" The Empress Dowager has met the second wife, but she doesn't have much impression of her.
"Empress Dowager, this is Linghu Pingxue's mother and General Li's sister." The queen whispered softly in the empress dowager's ear, deliberately mentioning the great general Li Jingtian of Zhenyuan who was stationed at the border and was about to return to the court.
Li Jingtian was fighting abroad all year round, and the Li family was in a state of depression, so the empress dowager was not familiar with the Li family.
"Then today is the representative of the Marquis' Mansion, let's be calm." The empress dowager waved her hand and asked the second wife to get up, but she did not give her a seat.
The second wife stood aside and watched Linghu Pingxue sitting beside Concubine Jin, and then looked at the queen's uneven face. The second wife couldn't help but wink at Linghu Pingxue.
The second wife didn't want Linghu Pingxue to get too close to Concubine Jin, which would cause the queen to be dissatisfied. Although the queen looked kind and moral on the surface, she was secretly more ruthless than anyone else. But Linghu Pingxue was stepping on the clouds at this moment, and her whole body was swollen and light, so she couldn't care about the second wife's eyes.
Originally, I just wanted to put Linghu Manyue to death today, but I still had unexpected gains. Because of a drawing, I received the reward and love of the empress dowager. Linghu Pingxue felt that all this was too easy, so she naturally relaxed her vigilance.
Seeing that Pingxue had no intention of paying attention to her eyes, the second wife's face couldn't help but sink. It was naturally difficult to approach Linghu Pingxue in such an occasion, and she could only stand aside in embarrassment, not daring to look at Concubine Jin or the queen's face.
"My daughter - my daughter who I have raised for fifteen years - why did you leave your mother alone?!"
Li was still crying and howling. After all, he was his own biological daughter and was about to get married this year. Now he is gone, so Li naturally couldn't accept it.
Originally, it was Xue Yamei's age and should have gotten married last year, but Li was greedy and wanted to find a concubine for her daughter. Seeing that no matter Xue Zhao had no chance to be promoted this year, even if the Marquis's Mansion did not give Li any benefits, Li thought that if there was no hope after the spring, he would have to find someone of a good match to marry her daughter out.
Who knew that the idea was made, but it was-
"Mrs. Li, the Empress Dowager is here, please be more restrained! The Empress Dowager knows that you feel sorry for your daughter, but you must first find out the truth no matter what." Mr. Zhao publicly interrupted Li's crying. Then Li raised his head and looked at Empress Dowager Xiang with fear, but he still thrust and couldn't stop crying.
"Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager! You have to make the decision for my daughter! My daughter was still fine when she left this morning! Why did she be——" Li was crying while tremblingly lifting the thick cloth covering Xue Yamei's body. Under the thick cloth, Xue Yamei rolled up her sleeves, revealing the dense wounds on her arms.
"Ah!! My miserable daughter!"
When Li saw the wound on Xue Yamei's arm, he screamed and fainted.
When the others witnessed the dense wounds on Xue Yamei's arm, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"Eunuch Zhao, save people." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and ordered Eunuch Zhao to send someone to help Li up first, and then looked at Xue Yamei's terrible body with a calm eyes.
Although the Empress Dowager is a female, she is a female hero who accompanied the ancestors to fight on the battlefield. Although the scene in front of her was bloody, the Empress Dowager was not surprised. However, someone actually killed people so ruthlessly under her Weiyang Palace, which was simply a provocation of her majesty!
"Nianhui, what's the investigation?" The Empress Dowager spoke calmly and called Chang Nianhui, the guard of Yanxi Palace.
