After a night of painful sleeplessness, Huanhuan finally fell asleep when the light came through the window paper.

When she woke up, it was already noon.

To be precise, she was awakened by thirst. Yesterday she ate too much preserves, and shed tears for a long time, and when she woke up, she felt that her throat was about to burst.

Lying on the bed, she suddenly remembered He Quan, who followed her yesterday and carried her things for her.

Didn't He Qi keep an eye on her? She became interested and yelled at the roof.

"Help!"

Anyway, it's boring, and it's fun to tease that cold iceberg face.

Huanhuan closed her eyes intently, not waiting for her expected voice, nor hearing the roof tiles.

Could it be that He Li knew that he was playing with him? Huanhuan secretly guessed in his heart that he had no interest in teasing He Quan.

Put on your coat and prepare to go to the kitchen to find Mo Niang to ask for a bowl of porridge to drink.

"Miss."

Ling'er held the copper basin and went into the house to wait for Huanhuan to wash.

Huanhuan knows Ling'er's rules, and he won't let her out of the house if she doesn't wash up. This is the rule of the Lin Mansion in the past, and Ling'er still remembers it very well.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really dead. It is rumored in the palace that there is evidence that it was done by Concubine Jin. ”

The prince is not dead, Huanhuan doesn't care, but when she heard Concubine Jin, her heart tightened, and Qin Niang's death was related to the murder of Concubine Jin. Naturally, she thought of Gao Wuxin, the queen of the key country, and in the dark, she felt that Concubine Jin was caught in a conspiracy.

"I remember that Concubine Jin is the biological mother of the second prince." Huanhuan picked up the cold tea on the table, moistened his throat, and said this.

"It's the biological mother of the second prince. Parents all over the world want their sons to become Chan, not to mention the emperor's family that has the power in the world. Concubine Jin must have wanted to destroy the crown prince so that her child could ascend the throne. ”

"It is rumored that the relationship between the second prince and Concubine Jin is not good."

Huan Huan still felt that there was something strange about this matter, and all the clues pointed to Concubine Jin so naturally.

"That must have been arranged by her to deliberately distance herself from the second prince, and after the incident in the east window, the second prince could get out. It's a pity that the prince may be affected by this. ”

Huanhuan glanced at Ling'er, and the hand holding the teacup was a little harder. After Liberty Qinniang pulled out Concubine Jin, there were contradictions in the successive things against Concubine Jin.

She thought about it for a long time last night, and she found a very important omission, how was Qin Niang's true identity exposed? can escape the queen's pursuit for more than ten years, Qin Niang must have been incognito and hidden the past.

Who discovered Qin Niang's past and knew her relationship with the late Concubine Shun? reported her to the queen, and then led to Concubine Jin in the deep palace.

Concubine Jin must know something, maybe Qin Niang has been in the palace for so many years, and she has been hidden in Concubine Jin's palace. So Gao Wuxin didn't find her.

After sorting out some clues, there are only two people, one is Ling'er and the other is Li Zerong.

Ling'er once said that Qin Niang told her the same story again. However, when Huanhuan tested her last night and asked her if she knew the relationship between Concubine Shun and Qinniang, Huanhuan felt that she was not lying.

Then only Li Zerong remained.

If it was really Li Zerong who killed Qin Niang in order to enter the East Palace, she would definitely slash Li Zerong, for Qin Niang, and for her former self!

"Miss?"

Ling'er saw Huanhuan's eyes blankly thinking about something, and couldn't help but call her. secretly wondered if she had broken her heart by mentioning Li Zerong. But she was really unintentional, thinking of Concubine Jin's death, she couldn't help but worry about the prince, afraid that he would be affected.

"Lord Wang, is he going to the East Palace?"

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, she didn't want Huanhuan to change her name to Prince Li Zerong.

"I rushed to the prime minister's house in the middle of the night, and I went to the prime minister's house this morning to pick up the princess and go to the funeral together."

"Poof."

Ling'er saw a strange and bright smile on Huanhuan's face, and she was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak, and she suddenly felt that Huanhuan was a little terrifying.

"You say, who are they showing the couple in love again?"

Ling'er didn't understand what Huanhuan meant, she didn't have so much measurement in her heart, and she didn't have a combing of Qin Niang's death. In her impression, from the words of the people in the palace, the prince should treat the princess well. Thinking of this, she suddenly began to be jealous of the princess again.

The prince's funeral lasted for half a month, during which Li Zerong came back several times, and the princess Gao Yu followed Li Zerong to cry after resting in the palace for two days due to physical reasons.

The prince's funeral was very obscure, and he did not hold the funeral in the East Palace, but found the mansion left by the former minister after returning to his hometown.

Half a month has passed, and the mourning has passed. Li Zerong and Gao Yu will return home today, which means that the days of Huanhuan Shunle are over.

Huanhuan sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the faint scar on the left side of his face, and gently applied the ointment with his fingertips.

On that day, she climbed the wall and went out of the house, and she bought a lot of headdresses, including a blood plum golden hairpin, which was extremely exquisitely made. Huanhuan's fingertips swept over the hairpin, glanced at himself in the mirror, and said happily: "Ling'er, last time Li Zerong sent someone to say, my brother sent a letter again, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, Childe sent another letter, and he must be back soon."

"Li Zerong is about to see you in the lake this evening, and then give me the letter, isn't it?"

"Yes, the prince did send a message to meet the young lady in Houhu in the evening."

Huanhuan gets dressed and ties her hair. It was just after noon, and Huanhuan couldn't help but run to Houhu to wait.

Ling'er followed behind her, and after Qin Niang's incident, she had an extra heart. There are always a lot of conjectures in my mind.

This time, the prince sent a message saying that he wanted to meet Huanhuan in Houhu, and when he gave the letter to Huanhuan, she was uneasy. But seeing the joy on Huanhuan's face, he was angry, and he couldn't bear to express his concerns and ruin her interest.

In order to prevent accidents, this time she deliberately went to the kitchen and took a small kitchen knife, wrapped the blade in a cloth, and hid it in her sleeve. If the princess wants to design harm again, she will fight to the death with her.

Of course, Ling'er didn't want such an incident to happen at all. The stakes are not something that she can afford as a servant, and it is really conjecture to fight to the death, but it is still good to put a kitchen knife in her sleeve to be brave.

Ling'er's concerns, Huanhuan didn't think about it. It's just that she remembers He Quan, and she always feels that she is living under someone's gaze, and it seems that there is more than one person, which makes her feel very relieved.

This is also one of the reasons why she hopes that Li Zerong will not harm Qinniang, after all, Li Zerong has asked someone to protect her.

I haven't arrived at Houhu Lake for a long time, and the lotus flowers in the lake have been defeated. There were one or two slaves in Huanyi by the lake, but they just glanced at Huanhuan coldly, and then lowered their heads to wash their clothes.

"Quack!"

There was a pair of ducks swimming in the middle of the lake, and when Huanhuan heard the call and looked in that direction, he saw two ducks, one white and one green, playing in the water.

"Looks like they're really calling this place home." Huanhuan said with a smile.

"Miss..."

Huanhuan saw that Ling'er wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but be curious: "What's wrong?" ”

"I mean if," Ling'er said nervously, "if there is no princess, will the young lady make the palace her home?" ”

"No, when Li Zerong used me, I should have understood that we were no longer possible in this life. Even if I knew that what my father did was indeed a rebellion, without him Li Zerong, the Lin Mansion would have been destroyed. It's just that what I can't forgive is that he lied to me. ”

Huanhuan and Ling'er sat by the lake, watching a pair of ducks playing in the lake, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

The closer the time got to evening, the more anxious Huanhuan's heart became.

She was afraid that Li Zerong would lie to her again, afraid that her brother would not hear from her in the future, and even more afraid that the future would be unpredictable.

The appearance of the princess is always bloody.

The slaves in the raccoon clothes by the lake have gradually left, and a silver-white crescent moon hangs outside the high wall of the palace, quiet and beautiful in the dark blue early summer evening sky.

Ling'er waited for a long time and felt sleepy, and she didn't know when she had fallen asleep on Huanhuan's shoulder.

"Whew!"

In the quiet and quiet evening, the sound of a cold arrow piercing the air suddenly broke the original tranquility.

Then I saw a black line in the air pierce into the center of the lake, and then Huanhuan heard a duck scream. When I looked at the center of the lake again, I saw that the body of the white duck had been pierced by a long arrow, and the bright red blood stained the broken lotus petals.

Before Huanhuan could react, he heard another "boom", and another cold arrow pierced the body of the green duck.

Someone is shooting ducks in the lake with arrows!

"No, no, no......"

Huanhuan looked at the place where the cold arrow came from, and saw a woman in white, holding a hunting bow, her eyes were sharp, and when Huanhuan looked at her, the woman also happened to look at her with a bright look.

"Gao Yu." Huanhuan gritted his teeth.

Ling'er had already woken up from her sleep, first glanced at Huanhuan who had a painful look in her eyes, followed Huanhuan's gaze, looked at the woman in white and holding a hunting bow, and unconsciously touched her sleeve with her hand and held a small kitchen knife wrapped in strips of cloth.

The person who came was the princess Gao Yu, who had not been seen for a long time.

Gao Yu stood on the other side of the back lake, looking at Huanhuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and she threw the hunting bow to the guards standing beside her in a dashing manner.

The guard was dressed in black, holding a heavy sword in his hand, and his expression was resolute. It was He Quan.

"Go, get those two ducks up." Gao Yu rubbed his hands with a golden silk handkerchief with a leisurely expression, and said leisurely, "The white duck is used to stew soup, and the green duck is used to make roasted duck meat to nourish the stomach." ”

Gao Yu said this sentence loudly, and there was sweetness hidden in his tone, and every word fell into Huanhuan's ears.

Looking at the bloody two things in the heart of the lake, Huanhuan's eyes filled with tears again.

Ling'er grabbed Huanhuan's wrist and tried to stop her body from trembling slightly.

Gao Yu walked towards Huanhuan in a hurry, and He Li followed closely behind with a resolute expression.

"Sister Qi is cute and eats duck meat?"

Princess Gao Yu approached Huanhuan's first question. Seeing Huanhuan's eyes with tears, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Xi Luo said: "It's just a wild duck flying in, and my sister is reluctant?" ”

Huan Huan bit his lower lip and did not answer with tears in pain.

"That white duck was fed by Miss!" Ling'er said angrily.

Gao Yu looked at Ling'er, who was standing beside Huanhuan, couldn't help but sneer, and asked rhetorically, "Miss? I don't know which lady your lady is? Could it be the Qi family? Or is the surname Lin. ”

"Princess." Huanhuan saluted Gao Yu when he heard this, and then said, "Is it so that I can appreciate the princess's superhuman archery skills when I am invited to Houhu today?" ”

"Not exactly."

"Then ask the princess, what else?"

Gao Yu snorted coldly, then leaned over to the side of Huanhuan's head, and whispered in Huanhuan's ear: "Lin Huanhuan, you have great skills." ”

Huanhuan took a step back and looked at Gao Yu angrily.

Gao Yu snorted coldly again, waved his hand, and asked the surrounding servants to step back, including He Li.

"My aunt actually wants you to be the prince's side concubine, and she doesn't allow me to hurt you again. Do you know why? I really envy you for having such a loyal maid. ”

"What do you mean?"

Huanhuan felt a faint pain in his heart, and he understood something in a trance.

"Heh, you don't understand?" Gao Yu looked arrogant, approached Huanhuan again, touched Huanhuan's scar with his fingertips, and said with an evil smile, "In this way, you kneel down and beg me, and I will tell you all the reasons for Qin Niang's murder." ”
