Chapter 142: Murder

Shui Duyao was stunned at first, when she saw Qing Shui Lianyue's appearance, like grasping a life-saving straw in the deep sea, completely ignoring her ragged clothes, she suddenly threw herself into Shui Lianyue's arms and cried.

"You're finally here, you want to save me, you have to save me, Yue'er."

Shui Lianyue frowned deeper, feeling the slightly trembling body in her arms, and finally resisted the urge to push her away, raised her hand and gently patted her back, and comforted softly: "If there is anything to talk about in the house, Ang."

Shui Duyao nodded frequently and slowly stood up, but she still couldn't stop sobbing, she turned to look at the door, and choked up, "You come with me to see something first."

After following Shui Duyao into the house, there was a foul smell of rotting corpses, and the sound of flies could be faintly heard.

Shui Duyao took out the fire fold from her arms and lit the only half of the candle in the room, the light was faint, the candle flame made a zizi sound, and the firelight kept jumping, adding a strange atmosphere.

Immediately after, she walked towards the corner on the right side of the room, there was a futon in the corner, she slowly squatted down, pulled the corner of the futon apart, and a corpse appeared in front of Shui Lianyue, because of the summer heat, the corpse was covered with the futon again, and the guide had begun to decompose, and as soon as the corpse was revealed, the flies and insects swarmed as if they saw food.

Shui Lianyue took two steps forward, but did not walk in, and vaguely saw that the corpse was a man, and she suddenly said in a deep voice: "Who is he?" Why did you kill him"?

At this time, Shui Duyao had regained her calm, except for two lines of tears on her cheeks, she looked at the corpse with disdain, and snorted coldly: "On the night of your wedding, after I came out of the palace, I noticed that someone was following me, but at that time, he did not kill me, now that I think about it, he must have been waiting for his master's order, until dawn, he finally made a move, because he was not familiar with the Dusk Pavilion, and was stunned by me, so he got his hand to kill him first."

"Who sent it? You don't doubt King Xiang, do you?" Shui Lianyue looked at the corpse again, and guessed in her heart that if it was King Xiang's subordinates, no matter how weak his kung fu was, it would be impossible for Shui Duyao to kill him lightly.

Shui Duyao stood up, turned to look at Shui Lianyue, frowned, and said: "Of course it won't be King Xiang, although he was shocked that night, he also swore to me that he would never fail me, and besides, I believe in his character, when this person wants to kill me, he said a word, and I will know who it is."

"What did you say"?

"And he said, I robbed his master's man."

Listening to Shui Duyao's words, Shui Lianyue was suddenly shocked and said in surprise: "You mean, Geng Shaohua"?

"Who else but her? I didn't expect that she couldn't bear it like this, and she didn't expect that she would send someone to follow King Xiang and monitor King Xiang's every move at all times, otherwise, someone wouldn't follow me as soon as I came out of the palace", as soon as the words fell, a hideous look flashed on Shui Duyao's face.

"So, just now did you think that Geng Shaohua would send someone to kill you again, so he would do it to me"? Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Duyao, a chill flashed in her phoenix eyes, and she asked in a deep voice.

Shui Duyao shook her head at first, then nodded, and sighed lightly: "Yes and no, if the emperor really decrees to marry me and King Xiang, then Geng Shaohua will definitely not let me go, but, at the moment, I am more worried about Shui Dushan, maybe she didn't succeed in buying the murder, so she set the target on me."

"You're down, it's okay with her, why should she kill you"? Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Duyao suspiciously.

Shui Duyao snorted coldly, glanced at Shui Lianyue, and said coldly: "Unexpectedly, now, King Xiang has become the object of competition among the daughters of the official families in the capital, Meng Qiuhe has been running around for Shui Dushan's marriage, she wants her daughter to be favored by the prince of Canglan or the second prince of Dongshuo, but she doesn't want the threshold to be very high, she doesn't even have the opportunity to see the prince or the second prince, so she lowered the goal, and the prince of the capital was selected, and there are only five princes who can be canonized, King Yu, King Yue, King Xiang, King Yi, King Chen, Not to mention that King Yu's concubine is you, just other princes, King Yue is not at the age of a concubine, and King Xiang already has Han Zixuan, King Yi and King Chen's age is approaching the middle of the year, but they intend to accept a side concubine, with Meng Qiuhe's eyes, how can he let his daughter be a side concubine."

So, Meng Qiuhe lowered his eyes again, changed to the vassal king, but now the vassal kings in the capital are only King Xiang and King Rui, the other vassal kings have not entered Beijing, Meng Qiuhe just wants to climb relatives, and he can't see anyone, King Rui is over half a hundred years old, and his grandson has hugged two, but only King Xiang is left, that night, her maid saw King Xiang's carriage to send me to the corner, after coming back, Shui Dushan came to the Dusk Pavilion and has been testing me, the temptation failed, so he left with resentment, this morning Meng Qiuhe came with a bunch of maids and women, and humiliated me viciously, Looks like the mother and daughter are trying to get rid of me."

After hearing Shui Duyao's words, Shui Lianyue couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said lightly: "Not to mention that you are helpless now, even if someone protects you, in the huge Water Mansion, it is not difficult for them to get rid of you, kill you first, and then find a random reason, no one will suspect it."

Shui Duyao's eyes were rosy again, she took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "So, I have to leave here and enter the palace today, I don't know if I have mentioned this matter to the emperor and the queen mother"?

"I don't have a chance to say it to the emperor, but when I met the queen mother, I mentioned two sentences, although the queen mother didn't agree at the moment, I think that if King Xiang can enter the palace at this time to ask for marriage, this matter can be done", Shui Lianyue said lightly, because of today's situation, she really can't say more, but she just mentioned two sentences between words, and was also brought over by the queen mother lightly, as for whether it is successful or not, she really doesn't know.

After listening to Shui Lianyue's words, Shui Lianyue suddenly squatted down decadently, tears slipped down silently, and the room was silent, except for the sound of flies and insects enjoying food in the corner and the squeaky cries of a few mice, Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Lianyue's appearance, and did not speak again, perhaps, she didn't know what to say.

"Shui Dushan's matter, you don't have to worry, I will find someone to protect you", after a long time, Shui Lianyue remembered Li Shanshan, perhaps, it was time to use her, she looked at Shui Duyao and comforted her.

"None of this matters to me, you know"? As soon as Shui Lianyue's words fell, I saw Shui Duyao suddenly stand up, her face full of tears, and she tried her best to hold back her crying and shouted, "If the matter with King Xiang is a foregone conclusion, no matter how much humiliation and danger there is, I can turn it into motivation and work hard for the future, but the marriage finally makes me feel faintly uneasy, and I am afraid that everything I do is just my wishful thinking and a dream bubble."

Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned by Shui Duyao's drink, "But don't you trust him very much?" Didn't you say that he swore to you that he would never fail you"?

"How much can you believe a man's words"? Shui Duyao looked at Shui Lianyue with tears in her eyes and shouted disdainfully.
