Chapter 40: Concubine Mei fell into the water

The sky was dark, the waning moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, she had been trapped in it for a whole day, and she was almost burned to death inside, Yun Jing, who was buried in Ming Ziyu's arms, had red eyes, raised her head and asked pitifully: "Are you here to save me?" ”

"Is it difficult or a chance encounter?" He replied angrily, and his tone unconsciously brought some pampering.

Yun Jing stuck out her tongue and realized that she had indeed asked a stupid question.

"That's right! His Royal Highness King Qi...... Is he okay? "He must not die......

Ming Ziyu silently pressed her head back into her arms and ran out of the alley quickly, the crackling explosion and the scorching heat wave gradually left behind.

A team of people rushed in from the entrance of the alley, and met the two unexpectedly, and Ming Ziyu recognized that this was the person from the Qi Wangfu as soon as he looked at his face, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and before he had time to think clearly, he suddenly lost his arms.

Yun Jing obviously recognized it too, she quickly ran out of his arms, and asked eagerly, "What about His Royal Highness King Qi?" How is he? Is there anything wrong with him? Where is he? ”

After a series of questions, he didn't even catch his breath.

Someone immediately stepped forward and replied: "Please rest assured, the princess has not been injured and is fine for the time being." ”

Princess......

The unfamiliar title made her stunned silently for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

Princess Qi......

She was already his princess......

There were no other thoughts in her mind, she got on the horse and galloped towards the Qi Palace, Ming Ziyu stood stiffly in place, watching the man and the horse disappear out of sight, the palm of his hand frozen in the air, the night wind passed through his fingertips, and the coolness from his palm made him realize that he had really lost her......

The residual temperature of her palm gradually cooled, and her eyes were covered with frost.

Midnight, Changxi Palace.

Ye Jin has always had the habit of sleeping lightly, so Ming Zisu tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and she never fell asleep.

The night breeze swept in, and the candles flickered, flickering and flickering.

Mingzi Su opened his eyes vigilantly, turned his head to look at the person next to the pillow, his eyes were soft, and he stepped on the bed lightly, almost at the same time Ye Jin also sat up with the quilt, his frosty hair covered the couch, and Qingming's eyes were full of worry.

"Is there any news from Yun Jing?" She was worried about Yun Jing, even if she married someone she didn't like, she would be hijacked at the wedding, which would definitely frighten her.

"Well, she-" Akiko Su responded.

Without waiting for him to finish, she quickly got out of bed, picked up the clothes next to the bed and put them on, moving faster than him, and when she looked up after dressing, she found that he stopped the movements in his hands and stared at her for a long time.

Ming Zisu raised his eyebrows helplessly: "The one in Biluo Palace is not as nervous as you, people are sisters, and you are more like people's sisters than Ye Jin." ”

Ye Jin retorted dissatisfiedly: "Whether to be close or not is not necessarily related to blood, besides, she saved me and helped me-"

"I also help you bring a message to Gongzi Chu, ask him to protect my son for me, and ask him to save the one surnamed Qi." He finished for her with a blank face.

She looked at him weakly: "You..... You know it......"

Mingzi Su got dressed and went out without saying a word, and Ye Jin followed behind him step by step, cautiously peeking at his tense side face, thinking about the wording of the defense, but he didn't notice that he stopped, and hit his solid back unexpectedly.

I saw Yu Sang, who was waiting outside the hall, come forward and whispered a few words in Mingzi Su's ear.

Ming Zisu's face turned cold, and he turned around with a stern expression, and he didn't forget to help her.

"I want to go to King Qi's mansion."

"I'll go too!"

"No, I'll take Ye Jin there, and you stay in the palace." King Qi's newlywed was assassinated, the new princess was robbed, King Ning was involved in the case, the backyard of Yunfu was on fire, and the storm was coming, which was enough to divide all the emperor's efforts, and he had no time to take care of the harem, the queen would not let go of such a good opportunity, and she would definitely attack Lengwu Palace.

Will you take Ye Jin there...... Ye Jin's face darkened, and the hand that grabbed his sleeve robe slowly loosened, and he held it in time.

"You stay in the palace and watch the Lengwu Palace for me, Concubine Mei...... She is my mother. ”

What the?!

After Ming Zisu finished speaking, he shook his hand heavily, and disappeared into the night with Yu Sang, leaving Ye Jin stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses and walking towards Lengwu Palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt something strange.

Lengwu Palace is rarely brightly lit, the palace door is open but there is no one in sight, Ye Jin came to the dormitory, and found that the only three subordinates in Lengwu Palace were panicked in the dormitory, and no one even noticed Ye Jin when he walked in.

Concubine Mei's personal palace maid Zhuying stood in front of the empty bed and cried at a loss: "It's all my fault!" I accidentally slept too deeply! When you wake up, there's no one in bed! ”

Mama Li seemed to have come over in a hurry, her shirt was not buttoned properly, and she panicked: "How could Niangniang not see her?" In recent years, Niangniang has been asleep and rarely wakes up, how can she suddenly wake up in the middle of the night? Although it is not cold outside, it is also autumn in the end, so how good is it if you catch a cold! ”

Ye Jin grabbed Mama Li, who was in a hurry: "What happened?" ”

Only then did the two realize Ye Jin's existence, and they were stunned for a while, as if they were recognizing who the person in front of them was, but Zhuying was the first to react and knelt down with a plop.

"Say hello to the crown princess." How could it alarm the crown princess?

Mama Li also knelt down: "Our mother is gone...... What can I do with that......"

It's gone? Ming Zisu's expectation was indeed right.

Ye Jin raised her hand to let Zhuying get up, and stopped Mama Li from kneeling down in a hurry, and comforted her gently: "Mama, don't panic, let's look around first, maybe Niangniang just woke up suddenly and wanted to go out for a walk to breathe." ”

"Yes, yes, let's look for it first, let's go our separate ways." Takekage was probably in a hurry and was the first to run out.

"Mama is old, don't go out to look for it alone, go with Grandpa Qi, be careful not to fall."

After sending the three of them away, Ye Jin looked at the dormitory thoughtfully, checked around, and found no unusual traces for a while, so he carried a palace lamp and prepared to go out to find someone, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he met the moon shadow coming towards him, holding a cloak in his hand.

"The master should also bring a cloak when he comes out, for fear of catching a cold." Moon Shadow sped up her pace to meet her, put the cloak on Ye Jin's shoulder, and a burst of warmth enveloped her body, and took the palace lamp in Ye Jin's hand.

"Why are you here? Are the injuries all healed? "Some days I didn't have time to take care of her, but I didn't expect her to recover quite quickly and her body was a lot plump.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness has sent someone to take care of it, and the slave and maid are getting better quickly, thank you master." Moon Shadow lowered her head, tears flashed in her eyes, no one had ever been so kind to her, no one had ever remembered her injuries, it was her great blessing to meet such a master, she must cherish it and repay it well.

"Your Highness sent someone to take care of you, what do you thank me for?" Ye Jin said this, but there was a burst of warmth in his heart, he knew how important Moon Shadow's heartfelt heart was to her alone in the palace.

"Your Highness and the master are of one mind, and the slave and maid can see it." Moon Shadow pursed her lips and smiled enviously.

Ye Jin smiled faintly, stopped continuing the topic, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Moon Shadow looked straight, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The slave was taken to Zhaoyu Palace to be punished that day, and there was a person who passed by me at the gate of the palace. ”

"Who is it?"

"It's Concubine Mei's personal maid Zhuying, the slave maid has only seen her once, and because she was afraid, she only felt a little familiar at the time but didn't think about it, now that I think about it, the matter of Lengwu Palace is about what she revealed to the queen."

Concubine Mei's personal maid...... Concubine Mei is missing......

Ye Jin suddenly turned around and ran back to the dormitory, the bed was the cover of the bamboo shadow, she touched the quilt, and sure enough, the tentacles were cold and there was no temperature at all, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and chased in the direction where the bamboo shadow ran.

Fortunately, Moon Shadow was quite familiar with the palace, and was used to working at night, so she could see clearly in the dark, so it didn't take much trouble to catch up with the traces of Bamboo Shadow.

Seeing her walking slowly and leisurely alone, without the anxiety when she had just run out of the dormitory, Ye Jin grabbed Moon Shadow and signaled her to slow down and not disturb her.

The bamboo shadow stopped at the edge of the Qinglian Pond, looking at the pool quietly, her expression could not be seen clearly in the dark night, it was Ye Jin who followed her gaze and looked over, and couldn't help but change her face, only to see that in the middle of the calm pool, a white figure was slowly struggling in the water, but the strength of the struggle was very light, with a slight splash, and even the sound of water could not be heard.

Ye Jin couldn't hold it back, let Moon Shadow watch from a distance, and pretended to run to Bamboo Shadow's side unintentionally, as if he didn't notice the strangeness in the pool and asked, "Bamboo Shadow!" Did you find it here, too? What do you think? Have you found your mother? ”

Zhuying trembled, obviously startled, but quickly calmed down, she quickly turned around to block Ye Jin's sight, and replied: "Back to the crown princess, I didn't see any trace of my mother!" How did you find here? ”

Ye Jin looked around and turned his gaze to the pool: "It's so dark here, your mother won't fall into the water, right?" ”

Zhuying hurriedly smiled, helped Ye Jin to turn around and leave the pool: "Don't worry, the princess, the slave maid has just checked, there is nothing unusual in the pool, the slave maid will send you back first, beware of the cold in the middle of the night, and then the slave and maid will go to other places to look for it." ”

"I'm not worried, I'd better go down and have a look." Ye Jin broke away from the bamboo shadow's hand and walked towards the pool.

There was a moment of silence behind him, and then the voice of the bamboo shadow with murderous intent sounded: "Since you want to kill yourself, then you can't blame me!" ”

Suddenly, Bamboo Shadow pounced up from behind and strangled Ye Jin's neck tightly, she didn't expect Bamboo Shadow to be so bold and dare to kill the dignified princess directly here, but she didn't break free in a panic, seeing that the struggle of the figure in the pool was getting weaker and weaker, she was anxious, and Ming Zisu's eyes suddenly appeared in front of her.
