Chapter 94: The crisis is approaching

The full moon returned to Jianjia Pavilion and slept for a whole day.

It doesn't get up until evening.

I haven't had such a time to sleep in a dark place for a long time. I believe that after yesterday's incident, the second wife and Linghu Pingxue will live for a while.

After the full moon got up, Ningjing came in to comb her hair.

"Miss, when you were asleep, the princess sent Qiao Qing over and said she was waiting for you to go to Mingshui Pavilion when you woke up."

"I understand." Man Yue spoke softly, but sighed silently in her heart.

Cuiyun was the maid sent by her aunt that day. Now she has almost become the murderer who killed her. My aunt feels naturally uncomfortable. I think she has to interrogate Cuiyun in front of her.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be like this. Since Cuiyun has been handed over to Linghu Quan by the empress dowager, Man Yue will not interfere in this matter again.

——

After finishing the washing, Manyue got up and walked towards Mingshui Pavilion before walking out of the yard. Manyue vaguely felt a figure flashing through the outside of the yard wall.

The full moon couldn't help but pause.

"Miss, is there anything wrong?" Ximeng asked Man Yue in confusion.

Man Yue shook his head and looked at Ningjing. Seeing that Ningjing wanted to speak but stopped, Man Yue felt relieved.

I immediately said to Ningjing, "Ningjing, please stay. I'll just take Ximeng alone."

"Yes, Miss." Ning Jing responded and looked forward. At this moment, Man Yue suddenly said a few words in her ear.

"Looking at the yard, once there are suspicious people, I have not come back, no outsiders are allowed to put them in, and no one in the yard is allowed to go out."

"Yes, Miss, I will prepare osmanthus cake for you now." Ning Jing has been following Man Yue for some days, and she often doesn't need to remind her about what she should say on any occasion.

Just like just now, Ximeng stood on the right side of the full moon, and naturally she didn't see a suspicious figure flashing under the courtyard wall on the other side, and Ningjing saw it.

Now that Man Yue ordered Ning Jing, Ning Jing naturally understood what was going on.

Man Yue nodded and walked towards Mingshui Pavilion with Ximeng.

It seemed calm along the way, but Man Yue always felt that there were eyes staring at him behind her.

After entering Mingshui Pavilion, the person following him obviously stopped. Man Yue quietly raised her foot into the room.

In the middle of the room, Linghu Quan sat upright on the Xiang Concubine Chair, kneeling not far away in front of him on the Cuiyun with a pale face.

Seeing Chunyue walking into the house, Cuiyun's little face was so scared that she lost all her color.

"My Moon Girl, sit down." Linghu Quan raised his hand to signal the Moon to sit down.

In fact, Linghu Quan's temperament has always been light and can't be warm to anyone. Since the death of the prince, Linghu Quan's heart has lost the biggest pillar and his temperament has become more cold and quiet. However, when she saw the full moon, she felt familiar.

First of all, she was not favored by the old lady since childhood because of her daughter. She was fostered in her distant relative's house for eight years before returning, which was one year longer than the full moon. So she knew more about the taste of foster care than anyone else.

Thinking back, the old lady brought her back, which was a similar purpose to today. In order to pave the way for her son, Linghu Quan did not approach Lin Zhenrui, who was now the emperor, as required by the old lady, but chose King Anping, who could allow her to be harmonious for the rest of her life.

Since then, Linghu Quan and the old lady have been chasing each other. Until today, the mother and daughter have always disliked each other.

I think the old lady was like this to her biological daughter, not to mention that she is now a granddaughter whom she thinks is the broom star, so Linghu Quan can most empathize with the situation of the Moon.

The full moon fell beside Linghuquan, her eyes fell on the white jade cup in her hand. She did not look at Cuiyun, who was trembling on her knees on the ground, but she tasted a sip of fragrant tea and said thoughtfully,

"Aunt, it's almost time to taste this Jinjun tea for more than a month. It's hot and dry when summer is coming, so it's better to change to the tea." The full moon slowly spoke, and Linghu Quan nodded slightly after hearing this.

"That's true. There is not much left in Jinjun tea, and it's only enough to drink it for a month."

"Actually, if it weren't for the Ziqi girl's trouble at that time, I've always been obsessed with this Jinjun tea, but since the last incident happened, I've always felt a sense of lingering fear." Man Yue's tone was faint and casual.

But Cuiyun, who was kneeling on the ground and listening, was sweating in a cold sweat, and her body trembled even more violently. For Cuiyun, the calmness of the Moon at this moment was the greatest torture for her.

Linghu Quan glanced at Cuiyun lightly and spoke softly.

"But fortunately, everyone who should be solved later was solved, and you will be fair. I heard that Ziqi was sent to the brothel by the old lady--"

"Princess! Princess - no! Don't send Cuiyun to the brothel even if you kill Cuiyun! Cuiyun is wrong! Knows wrong! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

But Cuiyun didn't say anything if Linghu Quan asked her.

Linghu Quan and Man Yue knew that she was the second wife, but Cuiyun wanted to die, not to escape from the crime.

"Cuiyun, you want to take everything into consideration, right?" Man Yue's clear eyes flashed, and his eyes that looked at Cuiyu were instantly cold as frost.

Cuiyun couldn't help but tremble, shook her head, and cried,

"Miss, I know that I should die. All the mistakes are committed by me alone. I really can't say anything-"

"It cannot be said that there is a hidden truth. It seems that you believe that the person who instructs you behind your back will hold the handle for you after you die. Since that's the case, then send you away according to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. From then on, you will never have the chance to step into the land of Kyoto again! I can help you now!"

The moon looked at Cuiyun coldly, her eyes instantly like a knife and an arrow.

When Cuiyun heard Man Yue say this, he looked at Man Yue's firm and cold eyes, and knew that Man Yue was not joking. When he thought that he would never be able to step onto Kyoto's apprentice in his life, Cuiyun shook his head in fear. The defense line that he had been holding on for a day had completely collapsed at this moment.

"Princess, Miss Cuiyun's family was infected with the epidemic five years ago and were locked up in the village. At that time, the second wife learned that she found a slave. As long as she agreed to be the second wife, she would secretly pick her up her family from the village. But her family still died in the plague five years ago. The younger brother is now following General Zhenyuan, thousands of miles away from her. General Zhenyuan will return to Kyoto soon. I haven't seen my younger brother for five years - I-"

Cuiyun was already crying when she said this.

If Man Yue hadn't put the harsh medicine on the last few words, Cuiyun would still refuse to tell the truth.

"A bastard! You have been by my princess for five years! Have I treated you badly? Your family is isolated from the epidemic, which is naturally painful for you, but that is also for more people to have a chance to live! But you secretly colluded with the second wife and ignored the lives of others! You are not just selfish! Do you know it is a death sentence!"

Linghu Quan didn't expect that Cui Yun betrayed himself for this purpose and framed Man Yue!

It turned out that the second wife had buried chess pieces by her early, but she didn't expect that she would later see Cui Yun choose to give it to Man Yue! For this reason, she almost killed the girl from Man Yue.

First, the bracelet with three cracks! Then again and again, the attacks and framed them in the Marquis’ Mansion! Now they are all in the palace! This second lady is really getting too far!

"Come on! Drag on!" Linghu Quan no longer wanted to see Cuiyun, but killing Cuiyun now would be useless. He could only temporarily save her life and follow the long-term plan.

Inside the house, Linghu Quan shut down everyone and chatted with Man Yue alone.

"Aunt, things have come to this point. Just be more careful after the full moon. The full moon knows that my aunt is fair and upright, and I feel very grateful."

Man Yue said, and got up and gave Linghu Quan a big gift.

Since returning to the Marquis’ Mansion, if it weren’t for Linghu Quan, her plan would not have gone so smoothly.

Linghu Quan raised his hand and helped her up. His eyes were filled with pity, but he was helpless.

"Girl, I'm afraid the real problem has not yet arrived."

"Aunt——" Man Yue looked up and met Linghu Quan's complicated gaze, and her heart felt a little cold. Suddenly, she thought of the eyes that were always staring at her behind her when she came to Linghu Quan before. Could it be that Linghu Quan also felt something was wrong?

"Don't worry, Auntie, Full Moon will be more careful." Full Moon nodded at Linghu Quan, his eyes deep.

I think Linghu Quan just felt something was wrong, but there was no substantial evidence, so he reminded Chun Yue in this way.

"You go back first. As for Cuiyun's affairs, it's not easy to make a break now."

"The full moon understands. Aunt has trouble."

Man Yue naturally knew what Linghu Quan meant. If Cui Yun was directly confronted by the second wife and the second wife insisted that there was no such thing, and no one could prove Cui Yun, Cui Yun's younger brother would lose his life at any time.

Since you can't just find the eldest lady - what about starting from someone else?

Full Moon's eyes flashed, and he thought of a suitable candidate.

——

After leaving Mingshui Pavilion, Man Yue once again noticed that someone was following her in the dark, as if she wanted to control her whereabouts anytime and anywhere.

Maybe after experiencing a lifetime of reincarnation, the heart of the Moon is more sensitive and sharper than that of ordinary people. If you have a little movement, you will notice it.

Now, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

The Moon vaguely felt that something would happen in the next few days.

But she had just returned from the palace for a day, and the old lady and the second lady really couldn't wait?

At this moment, Linghu Hongxi's personal butler, Butler Tang, rushed over from a distance, and after seeing the full moon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, I have found you. The old slave went to Jianjia Pavilion. The girl Ningjing said you were in Mingshui Pavilion. After going to Mingshui Pavilion, she said you had just left, which made the old slave very anxious."
