Peony and Fang Mengru faced each other, the two of them seemed to be at the tip of a needle, and no one refused to give in.

The people who went in to search quickly retreated one after another, "Tell the concubine Niangniang, I didn't find it." ”

"Didn't find it!"

"Not here!"

……

The guards' announcements made Peony's heart sink again and again, she turned her head and glanced at Fang Mengru gloomily, she could no longer maintain her previous gentle and amiable appearance, "Queen Mother, Peony knows that Queen Mother and Cousin Lin have a very personal relationship. ”

"But Cousin Lin and the King of the Northwest rebelled together, this is a big crime to connect the nine clans! Please also ask the queen mother to distinguish between right and wrong, and hand over the person as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor will personally investigate it in the future, and I am afraid that even the queen mother will not escape heavy punishment! ”

Peony is like a burnt mouse now, knowing the relationship between Fang Mengru and Lin Yingxue, Fang Mengru will definitely not betray Lin Yingxue, but at the moment she has no better way.

And sure enough, as she expected, Fang Mengru immediately sneered when she heard this, "Don't splash dirty water on this palace casually, concubine!" Yingxue has never been here in this palace, where can she hand over someone in this palace? ”

After saying it coldly, Fang Mengru flicked her sleeves, turned around and said unceremoniously: "Send off!" ”

"You ......"

"Concubine Niangniang, please go!"

Peony wanted to say something, but Xiaoqing had already blocked in front of Peony and 'invited' with a straight face.

"Humph!" didn't find Lin Yingxue, Peony naturally couldn't find an excuse to make trouble, she could only snort coldly, glared at Xiaoqing fiercely, and left with a belly full of anger.

Brought people to search the palace with such fanfare, but in the end they returned in vain, if this matter was known to Meng Yi, I am afraid that it would be inevitable to be scolded, and Lin Yingxue has not found it yet, and it is getting closer and closer to the day when Murong Jun will come to the imperial city......

The more Peony thought about it, the more panicked she felt, and after she muttered for a long time, she finally became ruthless and ordered the people around her in a deep voice, "This palace is going to the cold palace for a trip, and you find a way to let the queen know the news." ”

"Yes." After receiving the order, the palace people hurriedly left the arrangement.

Peony looked in the direction of the cold palace, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Tonight's cold palace is extraordinarily lively.

Fang Mengru never dreamed that Peony would hit the Wang family with her idea, and when she hurried to the cold palace, the cold palace was already full of people.

Honglian knelt at the door with her head down, tears still hanging on her face. Looking in again, Peony was sitting in the house, and the seriously ill Wang was pressed and kneeling beside Peony.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to this palace, my aunt is seriously ill, and I don't have a few days to live, you let my aunt go!" When facing the peony, Fang Mengru had a panicked look on her face for the first time.

Peony was very satisfied with the panic on Fang Mengru's face, she slowly took a hairpin from her head and played with it in her hand, the golden hairpin shone with a cold cold light under the candlelight.

Seeing this, Fang Mengru's heart suddenly tightened, and a bad premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, "What do you want to do?!" ”

"Nothing." Peony looked innocent, "As the mother of the prince of the previous dynasty, the Wang family was originally guilty of sin, but the emperor was merciful, so he never tortured the Wang family, but the concubine now suspects that the Wang family knows Lin Yingxue's whereabouts, so she wants to interrogate it." ”

"Why, does the queen also have objections to this?" As he spoke, Peony took the hairpin and circled around Wang, as if he was considering where to start.

Seeing this, Fang Mengru only felt that someone had stopped her life, and even her breathing became heavy, "Auntie, she doesn't know anything, if you dare to attack Auntie, I won't spare you!" ”

Fang Mengru couldn't even care about claiming to be in a hurry.

Looking at Fang Mengru's imposing appearance, Peony seemed to see Fang Mengru when he first entered the palace again-that arrogance was still there.

The temperament of the person in front of her was only temporarily suppressed, but she was really polished to not look like herself at all.

Peony laughed at herself, and became more and more jealous of Fang Mengru.

"As long as the queen mother is willing to tell Lin Yingxue's whereabouts, the Wang family will naturally be fine, but if the queen insists on favoring Lin Yingxue, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

With a snort, as the words fell, Peony also picked up the hairpin in his hand and stuck it heavily on Wang's arm.

"Ah......" Wang was already terminally ill, and his whole person was as shriveled as burnt wax, like a scarecrow that had been drained of his spirit.

Even if there was a bloody hole pierced by the hairpin on her body at this time, she could only let out a low cry of pain.

"You're looking for death!" Seeing the blood rushing out of the wounds on Wang's body, Fang Mengru's eyes turned red almost immediately.

Looking at Fang Mengru's murderous appearance, Peony said in her heart that it was fake not to be afraid, but fortunately, she was prepared.

At the moment when Fang Mengru was about to rush up, the ordinary guards standing on the side immediately greeted him.

And as soon as Fang Mengru fought, he realized that something was wrong - these guards were strong in martial arts, and they were not ordinary guards at all!

Seeing that Fang Mengru was restrained by the guards, Peony was somewhat relieved in her heart - in order to restrain Fang Mengru, this was a master she specially brought from the sect.

Now it seems that she really had the foresight, otherwise she would probably be the one who splattered her blood today.

"Queen Mother, you also know that the Wang family has a few days to live, so why don't you let the Wang family's last days go away peacefully? As long as you want, the Wang family doesn't have to suffer more in vain. ”

Regaining the upper hand, Peony's expression became smug again.

"I didn't save people, how do I know the whereabouts of Yingxue?" Fang Mengru replied between fights.

Because of the confusion, Fang Mengru's moves were full of flaws, but fortunately, those guards were afraid of Fang Mengru's identity, and they didn't dare to make a heavy move, they just made a move to contain Fang Mengru.

And seeing that Fang Mengru was still protecting Lin Yingxue in such a situation, the anger in Peony's heart couldn't help but burn even more violently.

'Snort', another hairpin stabbed into Wang's body.

Cold sweat trickled down Wang's forehead, and he almost fainted immediately.

Peony didn't care at all, and still said angrily: "But Lin Yingxue only has the best relationship with you in this imperial city!" As soon as I took the person away with the front foot that day, the person on the back foot was rescued! ”

"If it weren't for the queen and you sent someone to make a move, who would have such strength in this palace?!"

After finishing speaking, the peony was stabbed on Wang's body again.

"Master!" Honglian was pressed aside by her mother-in-law, her voice was already hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen like two walnuts.

But Peony's whole person was like a piece of ice, and he was indifferent at all.

"I really don't know where Yingxue is! Stop! I ......"

Before Fang Mengru finished speaking, Wang's body suddenly fell straight down.

"Auntie!" Fang Mengru's eyes widened, her eyes were red, and she was almost crying and bleeding.

Peony frowned and turned her head to look at the Wang family who fell to the ground, and the palace maid on the side also came up to check the pulse of the Wang family with great eyes.

"Niangniang, it seems to be dead." The palace maid raised her head, looking a little flustered.

"This is dead?" Peony wanted to take advantage of the Wang family before she died, but she didn't expect that the Wang family was already so weak, and before she could start to be ruthless, the person was gone.

"Forget it, drive back to the palace." Peony was very frustrated and threw the bloody hairpin in his hand to the ground, "This hairpin is rewarded to you." ”

After saying that, he walked outside without looking back, and didn't look at Fang Mengru again from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Auntie!"

"Master!"

As soon as Peony's people withdrew, Fang Mengru and Red Lotus hurriedly rushed to Wang's side.

"Master, wake up, master!" The red lotus shook Wang's gradually cold body vigorously, and tears were in her face.

The sad cry echoed in the empty and cold cold palace, and it inexplicably made people feel a chill in their hearts.

On the other side, Fang Mengru held Wang's cold hand tightly, lowered her head and didn't say a word, only her body trembled slightly.

After a long time, Fang Mengru suddenly wiped away her tears and stood up.

Honglian saw that Fang Mengru's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly stood up, "Queen Mother, where are you going?" ”

"After settling my aunt's body, I'll kill Peony and come back to arrange my aunt's funeral." Fang Mengru's tone was like ice, completely different from the warmth of the past.

When Honglian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her: "Don't be impulsive, the master is originally guilty, and the concubine will be killed if she kills it, even if it really makes trouble to the emperor, the emperor will not necessarily deal with the concubine." ”

"On the contrary, it is you, the queen mother, if you kill the emperor's favored concubine because of this, I am afraid that you will cause trouble for yourself......"

Honglian pulled Fang Mengru's sleeve and dissuaded with a worried expression.

However, Fang Mengru broke the red lotus's hand without looking back, "I promised Brother Feng to take good care of my aunt, but now I let Peony kill my aunt in front of me." ”

"What kind of face will I have to see Brother Feng in the future?" Every time Fang Mengru said a word, she felt that her heart hurt a little more.

She only hated herself now for being so useless, and she couldn't even protect the people she cared about!

"Don't think like that, the queen mother! The queen's care for the master, the slaves and maids are all in their hearts, and when the time comes, Young Master Feng will definitely understand the queen......"

"Okay, Honglian, you don't have to say any more, I have made up my mind, you take care of your aunt first, and I'll go back when I go." Fang Mengru didn't wait for Honglian to finish speaking, and walked outside murderously.

Honglian was so anxious that she was helpless, but her identity was humble, and she couldn't do anything for a while.

After Fang Mengru got out of the cold palace, he went straight to Peony's dormitory, and the palace people along the way saw Fang Mengru with a murderous face, and they were all frightened for a while, and they didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Peony, get out of here!" As soon as she walked to the door of the peony dormitory, Fang Mengru was stopped by the guards.

Fang Mengru roared towards the inner courtyard with her internal strength, and after a while, a large number of palace people walked out surrounded by a man and a woman, and that man was naturally Meng Yi.
