81. Chapter 81
The full moon's gaze was always as cold as water, his eyes moved away from everyone, and he didn't look at Lin Jian who was following behind him, his thin lips opened lightly, and his voice was cold, and there was no temperature.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to escort him personally, this Weiyang Palace is heavily guarded, and the courtiers are just weak women who have no power to restrain the chicken, they can't carry their hands on their shoulders, they can't run, why should the prince do this?"
Even if the queen was satisfied with her, Full Moon had the same attitude towards Lin Jian at the moment.
She and Lin Jian had a tacit understanding on the assassination of Lin Donghe, but it didn't mean that Lin Jian could challenge her bottom line on any occasion.
At this time, a certain master who had been silent twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely, although this expression flashed, but it was keenly captured by Nian Zheng on his side, Nian Zheng was stunned, and the next moment his heart was in his throat.
It was the first time he had seen the Fifth Highness have such an expression.
A certain master raised his head, and his peerless face was like a calm lake at this moment, although it was still, it was not the slightest bit handsome, peerless, proud, and unparalleled in the world.
When Linghu Pingxue looked at Lin Dongyao, who raised his head, his gaze froze for a moment. Even though Lin Donghe showed obvious affection for her, how could Ling Hu Pingxue's heart be satisfied? Although Lin Donghe is also dignified and magnificent, there is indeed a gap compared to Lin Dongyao, who is peerless.
But Lin Dongyao was too cold to her, and he ignored her request for help before, and let her be taken advantage of by Lin Ran, which was too conceited and arrogant! She Linghu Pingxue is the number one beauty in Kyoto, even if Lin Dongyao is loved by thousands of people, and his status is higher than that of the prince, does he have to be so cold?
Lin Dongyao's gaze seemed to sweep over the crowd casually, but it fell on the face of the full moon accurately. He just saw her side face from this angle, quiet and beautiful, without powder, seemingly innocent and simple, but the bottom of her eyes was perennial cold ice.
Is she a weak woman? So who else in the world is not a weak woman?
She can't carry it on her shoulders and can't lift it with her hands? Then the fire of the He family was set by a ghost?
Is she powerless? Sharp teeth can still bite people to death! I don't know who it was Xue Yamei, who was angry at the gate of Weiyang Palace before, almost vomited blood!
What she knows best is to open her eyes and tell nonsense!
At this moment, the full moon faintly felt that there were two scrutinizing and teasing eyes on the side of him looking at him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know where these two eyes came from. Since she was reborn, the only one who can put pressure on her in her eyes is Lin Dongyao!
In the last life, they fought for ten years! She had never paid attention to his gaze! At that time, she only had Lin Donghe's storage in her heart! In this life, reincarnated as a human, her horizons were re-broadened, and she saw a qiē that she had once ignored.
The full moon withstood Lin Dongyao's aggressive gaze and walked forward with his feet raised.
Behind her, Linghu Pingxue's eyes as she looked at her back were wrapped in a murderous aura. The next moment was covered by the gentleness of water.
"I don't know if the eldest sister can turn evil into good luck this time, but I, the younger sister, can't help much, I'm in a hurry but can't do anything, what should I do?" Linghu Pingxue started acting again, but Lin Donghe was distressed when he watched it.
"Miss Pingxue doesn't have to worry, if Linghu Manyue really did it, it is also to blame, if she is innocent, she has her own queen mother's judgment, and no one can help her now." Lin Donghe softly persuaded Linghu Pingxue, and Lin Ran on the side was also a little anxious when he saw it, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward and approached Linghu Pingxue.
"Sister Pingxue, it's really distressing to see you so anxious, Linghu Full Moon can have a good sister like you, it's really a blessing from the previous life!"
Full Moon heard Lin Ran's words before stepping out of the main hall, and his footsteps stopped suddenly, his eyes froze, but for a moment they were like knives and arrows. Under the cold eyes, a clear and poignant trace of murderous blood.
This blood-colored color condensed with a thick murderous aura, as if it was going to destroy everything in the world in an instant, with a terrifying thick aura.
The four guards holding the full moon were all stunned at the same time, and they were about to open their mouths to urge the full moon, but when they saw the cold air in her eyes, they stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and there was a faint cold sweat on their backs, and the cold wind blew, and they shivered together.
Lin Jian, who was originally with an angry expression, faintly saw the blood-colored cold air flowing out of the full moon's eyes for a moment, his eyes flashed, and somewhere in his heart seemed to be suddenly stabbed by the tip of a needle, and his heart contracted and ached for a moment.
What kind of past would bring such a terrible chill to her eyes?
Did she go through something terrible before that no one else knew about?
For a long time, Lin Jian's greatest curiosity about the full moon came from her extraordinary calmness and indifference. In the west courtyard of the Hou Mansion, he stood behind her covered in blood with a scarf, and killed the maid Hongxia with a knife in his hand, she never showed the slightest fear in her eyes from beginning to end, and it was as quiet as a painting.
But when he bandaged his wounds, it gave him a fresh and agile feeling, and when he learned his identity, he didn't hesitate to make a deal with him! This girl - she's either hard-hearted or desperate!
But why would she be so resolute and leave no room for error?
Lin Jian couldn't guess it, and his heart was even more entangled and uncomfortable.
Also witnessing the full moon was the cold blood under his eyes, as well as Lin Dongyao.
With similar eyes, Lin Dongyao saw it for the second time in his life. The first time from his mother, Concubine An! It was when he was seven years old, and the moment his mother woke up from a serious illness, the moment she saw her father, there was such a terrifying and resolute gaze flowing from her eyes! Lin Dongyao still remembers it vividly!
He had investigated Linghu Manyue before, but the news he sent back was obviously very different from her now.
What exactly had she suffered before?
――
The full moon is taken to the backyard by the guards.
The Queen Mother sat upright, and the others stood on both sides in a proper manner. The yard next door is still in a hurry to hang the sacred stone, if the divine stone is hoisted and placed properly, the queen mother will definitely reward Linghu Pingxue later. But if the Divine Stone-
A sneer flashed quickly under the full moon's eyes.
The seemingly seamless drawings are a fatal flaw!
Soon this defect will bring a fatal blow to Linghu Pingxue!
"Queen Mother, Linghu Full Moon has been brought." Zhao Gonggong whispered in the ear of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the courtyard next door where the sacred stone was in full swing, and then looked at the scene in front of her, and her brows didn't know whether to wrinkle or loosen.
Seeing Linghu Pingxue standing beside Concubine Jin, the Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Gonggong Zhao to sit on Linghu Pingxue.
"Linghu Pingxue, no matter whether Linghu is guilty of the full moon today, you are a hero in the drawings, Gonggong Zhao, sit down." The Queen Mother's voice fell, causing Hu Pingxue's eyes to tremble slightly, and she immediately knelt on the ground to thank her.
Before, on the top of the main hall, everyone was sitting and couldn't be seen, but now in the backyard, except for the Queen Mother, Concubine Jin, and the crown prince and several princes, everyone else is standing, and the Queen Mother's sitting is naturally a great gift.
Even if Linghu Pingxue is a steady and gentle appearance, it is difficult to hide the excitement and pride in the eyes of this child.
Zhao Gonggong took someone to move a pear blossom chair to a little behind Concubine Jin, so that the fox full moon sat down steadily in the envious eyes of the daughters of other families, and the eyes looking at the full moon at this moment were even more proud.
I already knew that once she entered the palace, Linghu Manyue was not her opponent at all!
"Someone, bring the body up." As the Queen Mother's voice fell, a terrible and piercing cry suddenly sounded under the arch of the courtyard.
"My daughter--Yame-Yame! My daughter! Woooooooooo
This crying is none other than Xue Yamei's mother, the wife of the Ministry of Rites.
Li is less than forty years old, and is the original wife of Xue Zhao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Li is a distant relative of the second lady, and he is also close to the second lady's family, so he often takes Xue Yamei to the Hou Mansion to visit the door. Xue Yamei and Ling Huzilu have a similar relationship. The Li family originally hoped that his daughter would get closer to the daughter of the Hou Mansion, which would naturally be beneficial in the future, but they didn't know that the second lady had already hit Xue Yamei with the abacus!
And it's a deadly calculation!
Li was originally in the Chengqian Palace to accompany the Ministry of Rites to attend the emperor's dinner, when the Queen Mother sent someone to inform her, she did not tell the emperor about the Weiyang Palace, Li was at the door of the Weiyang Palace to learn the details, saw the daughter lying on the ground with a cold body, Li immediately lay on the ground in pain.
The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and her eyes motioned for Gonggong Zhao to bring the Li family up.
The Li family was carried up by the four palace maids, while the four guards carried the body of Xue Yamei, who was covered with a thick cloth.
The corpse only showed two feet, but it also caused the daughters of the family at the scene to exclaim.
Linghu Pingxue hurriedly turned his head away.
How Xue Yamei died, Hu Pingxue knew very well, at this moment, she caught a glimpse of the cold corpse, thinking that Xue Yamei, who was still alive and kicking in the Hou Mansion a few days ago, had now become a corpse, which made Hu Pingxue's heart also feel a chill. But otherwise, how can Linghu Full Moon be put to death in Weiyang Palace?
Mother once said that no one can let go of those who achieve great things!
It's just a Xue Yamei! Nothing to speak of! Even if it's his own sister, Ling Hulu doesn't still become a victim?
Thinking of this, the expression on Ling Hu Pingxue's face relaxed a little.
Behind the crying Li, the figure of the second lady came unexpectedly.
"The concubine has seen the queen mother." The second lady knelt on the ground and knocked to see the Queen Mother.
"You are-Hou-" The Queen Mother had seen the second lady, but she was not very impressed.
"Queen Mother, this is Linghu Pingxue's mother and General Li's sister." The queen whispered softly in the ear of the queen mother, deliberately mentioning Li Jingtian, the general of Zhenyuan who was stationed at the border pass and was about to return to the dynasty.
Li Jingtian has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the Li family is depressed, so the Queen Mother is not familiar with the Li family.
"Then today is the representative of the Hou Mansion, let's be even." The Queen Mother waved her hand to let the second lady get up, but she did not give her a seat.
The second lady stood aside and watched Linghu Pingxue sitting beside Concubine Jin, and then looked at the queen's face, and the second lady couldn't help but glance at Linghu Pingxue.
The second lady didn't want Linghu Pingxue to get too close to Concubine Jin, which would cause the queen to be dissatisfied, don't look at the queen's benevolent and moral face on the surface, but secretly she is more ruthless than anyone else. But Linghu Pingxue is stepping on the clouds at the moment, and the desire is swelling all over her body, fluttering, where can she care about the eyes of the second lady.
Originally, I only wanted to put Linghu Manyue to death today, but who knew that there was an unexpected gain, because a drawing was rewarded and loved by the Queen Mother, and Linghu Pingxue felt that this qiē came too easily, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance.
Seeing that Pingxue didn't bother to pay attention to her eyes at all, the second lady's face couldn't help but sink, it was naturally not good to get close to Linghu Pingxue on this occasion and tell her, so she could only stand awkwardly to the side, neither daring to look at Concubine Jin nor the queen's face.
"My daughter--the daughter I've raised for fifteen years--why did you just-why did you leave your mother alone?!"
Li is still crying and howling, after all, she is her own daughter, and she is going to get married this year, and now that she is gone, Li is naturally difficult to accept.
Originally, it was like Xue Yamei's age, and she should have married last year, but the Li family was greedy, and wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to find a position as a side concubine for her daughter.
Who knew that they had made up their minds, but but—
"Li, the Queen Mother is here, you should be more restrained! The Queen Mother knows that you feel sorry for your daughter, but no matter what, you have to find out the truth first. Zhao Gong openly interrupted Li's crying, and Li raised his head tremblingly to look at the Queen Mother, but he still sobbed and couldn't stop crying.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother Wow! You can be the master of the concubine's daughter! The concubine's daughter was still in good shape when she left this morning! How could this be—" Li shook his hand while crying and lifted the thick cloth covering Xue Yamei's body, and under the thick cloth, Xue Yamei's sleeves were rolled up, revealing the dense wounds on her arms.
"Ahh O my wretched daughter! ”
When Li saw the wound on Xue Yamei's arm, he screamed and fainted.
The others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the dense wounds on Xue Yamei's arm.
"Father-in-law Zhao, save people." The Queen Mother waved her hand and ordered Gonggong Zhao to send someone to help Li up first, and then looked at Xue Yamei's miserable corpse with calm eyes.
Although the queen mother is a woman, she is a heroine who accompanied the emperor on the battlefield, although the scene in front of her was bloody, but the queen mother was not strange. It's just that someone actually killed people so ruthlessly under her Weiyang Palace, which is simply a provocation to her majesty!
"Nianhui, how is the investigation?" The Queen Mother spoke calmly and called Chang Nianhui, the guard of Yanxi Palace.
Nian Hui was dressed in a dark green robe, stepped forward, knelt on the ground and spoke, "Back to the Queen Mother, Zhao Gonggong and others found Miss Xue's body in this courtyard, the body was hanging on a tree and had already choked, and after the ministers carried Miss Xue's body down, they found that Miss Xue was covered with scars. ”
