Although Peony was a little ambitious, if she had the intention to betray him, Meng Yi didn't believe it, so he just flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Hmph, do you think I'm really angry about this little thing?" ”

"Please also ask the Pavilion Master to make it clear." Peony pressed his heart and knelt down in front of Meng Yi again.

"You have been targeted, and now that Sun Ruolan has been caught, you immediately take people to the broken temple in the northwest of the suburbs of the city to destroy people, if you don't do it well...... Don't sit in your place as the head of the door. Meng Yi slowly crushed the orchid in his hand.

Looking at the broken petals falling on the ground, Peony's eyes widened, and a touch of horror appeared in his eyes, "Don't worry, the pavilion master, his subordinates will definitely handle this matter!" ”

Lin Yingxue sat in the carriage, and from time to time opened the small curtain on the carriage and looked out - the night was getting darker, the street was sparsely populated, she and the guards of the prince's mansion walked all the way, and the number of people she met on the street was no more than five fingers.

In this way, after a while, they will bring Sun Ruolan into the city, and the possibility of being discovered will be greatly reduced. Lin Yingxue lowered the curtain, and her expression was faintly worried.

"Who's coming?" When the carriage drove to the city gate, it suddenly stopped, and Lin Yingxue held on to the wall of the carriage to stabilize her figure, and at the same time opened the curtain to check the situation outside.

"Cold Moon!" Who would have thought that this would see Leng Yue holding her injured arm, and stopped in front of her carriage with a pale face, "She is my person!" Release! ”

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue's expression changed, and she hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and helped Leng Yue up in person, "What's the matter?" How did you get hurt? What about Sun Ruolan? ”

"Back to the master, the subordinates are not doing well, and Sun Ruolan was killed." Leng Yue frowned and was about to kneel, but Lin Yingxue hurriedly stopped Leng Yue.

"With your martial arts, you can't protect Sun Ruolan, it seems that the person sent by the other party is not ......simple," Lin Yingxue muttered to herself, and then said with concern: "You don't have to blame yourself, you don't blame you for this, you just go back and recuperate." ”

"Fifth girl, do I want to continue to go out of the city?" The guards waiting outside the carriage saw that Lin Yingxue hadn't given an order for a long time, so they couldn't help but come to the carriage and asked in a low voice.

"No need, go to Liu's Mansion first and put Leng Yue down, and then send me back to the Prince's Mansion." Lin Yingxue hid the look of regret on her face and commanded in a low voice.

When he returned to the prince's mansion again, Murong Jun, who received the news from the prince, also rushed over, and when he heard that Sun Ruolan had been killed, the prince was disappointed, "It's a pity that such a good clue is made." ”

"I heard that the eldest brother said that Sun Ruolan has a connection with a woman named Peony, who is this Peony?" Murong Jun's thinking has always been much quicker than that of the crown prince, and as soon as he heard the news of Sun Ruolan's death at this moment, he immediately keenly proposed another clue that might be able to be used.

"This peony girl used to be the Oiran of Xunliu Pavilion, and she is now the maid by Mr. Meng's side." In fact, when he was in Miaocheng, Murong Jun not only saw Meng Yi, but also saw Peony, but he never cared about those unrelated women, so he needed Lin Yingxue's reminder at this time.

"Xunliu Pavilion, Meng Yi ......" Murong Jun muttered and repeated the name of the place and person, "When he was in Miaocheng, this Mr. Meng looked unfathomable, at that time, he was only a figure in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect him to be related to the court. ”

"And that's not the most important thing." Lin Yingxue took Murong Jun's words, and continued: "What's more, what we know so far that Meng Yi has done two things, one is to use Xue Ji to want to support Murong Xiao to take the throne, and the second is to let Sun Ruolan destroy the Lin family. ”

"The result of the first incident was the death of Murong Xiao, and the result of the second incident was that the Lin family fell apart and almost wiped out the entire clan...... It is true that these two things are enough to prove that Meng Yi's methods are very good, but if you think about it carefully, the two things Meng Yi did seem to have nothing to do with each other on the surface, we don't know what his real purpose is, nor who Meng Yi is working for, or Meng Yi is a separate force in addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness. ”

Meng Yi acted too undisciplined, since he could stir up the palace, and he could almost put a prince who had not been favored since he was a child, to the position of prince...... This Meng Yi is really not simple, if this person is friend or foe, it will be a difficult opponent for them...... Lin Yingxue frowned tightly as she thought about it.

"He shouldn't be the fifth brother's person." After a few people in the room were silent for a long time, Murong Jun continued to analyze: "The fifth brother has always been obsessed with the three girls of the Lin family, and he has long revealed that he wants to marry Lin Yingling. ”

"What the fifth brother said is reasonable!" The crown prince has only now been able to keep up with the thinking of Murong Jun and the others, "But now there is no other prince's power in the court except for me, the third brother, and the fifth brother, according to the third brother's current analysis, this Meng Yi is neither the third brother and my person, nor the fifth brother's person, so what is this person making these things for?" ”

Too many questions shrouded in front of Lin Yingxue and the others, and the situation, which was not optimistic, seemed to become even more confusing with Meng Yi's joining.

"We still have too few clues in our hands, otherwise our current situation would not be so passive. I'll see this for tonight, I will send someone to pay more attention to Meng Yi's movements, and when we have collected enough clues, the puzzle we are currently encountering will naturally be solved. After discussing for most of the night, the prince saw that Lin Yingxue was tired, so he couldn't help but say.

Lin Yingxue naturally had no objection to this, she declined Murong Jun's request to send her home, but took the carriage of the Prince's Mansion and let the guards of the Prince's Mansion escort her back to Liu's Mansion.

Originally, Lin Yingxue still wanted to have a good rest after arriving home, but who expected that when she pushed the door, she saw that the entire courtyard was brightly lit, and Liu was sitting in the main hall, as if she was waiting for her to come back.

Lin Yingxue secretly said that it was not good, but she had to face it hard, "It's not too early, why hasn't my mother rested yet?" ”

"Why haven't I rested? One of your daughters' family didn't come back until midnight, what would it be like if it was spread out? "The Liu family rarely spoke harshly to Lin Yingxue, but now the Liu family must have been angry with Lin Yingxue, and his expression was very unhappy.

"Mother......" Lin Yingxue lowered her head and stepped forward, squatting down in front of Liu with a well-behaved face, "Mother, Yingxue knows that she is wrong, so don't be angry with Yingxue, Yingxue promises never to do it again next time." ”

Lin Yingxue leaned on Liu's leg and rubbed gently, with that delicate and soft appearance, Liu couldn't express his anger at Lin Yingxue like this.

"You were in the carriage of the Prince's Mansion just now, right?" Liu asked, and waved his hand to signal the people in the main hall to retreat.

After everyone left, Lin Yingxue nodded and responded: "Yes." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help but fluctuate significantly, "You came back from the Prince's Mansion so late...... Tell your mother honestly, where have you and the prince developed? ”

"Mother, what are you thinking!" Lin Yingxue saw that the Liu family had misunderstood, and she was helpless and funny, "My daughter has nothing to do with the prince, and the reason why she returned late from the prince's mansion is just because she needs to talk about some things with the prince." ”

"Talking?" Liu's already uneven brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter, "You have a daughter's family, is there anything His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to discuss with you?" ”

Liu's questioning made Lin Yingxue silent - she wants to assist the prince to ascend the throne, and I am afraid that she will have to have a lot of dealings with the prince's mansion in the future, even if she is perfunctory now, the Liu family will still be suspicious in the future, it is better to reveal some news to the people in front of her, so as not to think nonsense in the future.

"Mother, Yingxue doesn't want to hide it from you." Lin Yingxue sat down beside the Liu family with a solemn expression, "The Lin family has dispersed, and only Yingxue and her mother will depend on each other in the future, and the prince takes a fancy to his daughter's talent, saying that as long as the daughter can do her best to assist the prince to ascend the throne, the prince will ascend the throne one day, and we will allow our mother and daughter to have no worries for a lifetime, so my daughter wants to take a risk." ”

It is naturally impossible for Lin Yingxue to tell Liu Shiming about revenge, but at the moment, not all of her remarks are made up by her, but this reason is only a small part of the reason why she is willing to assist the prince.

"Yingxue, you ......" Liu just couldn't imagine that Lin Yingxue would have something to do with the court situation, she took Lin Yingxue's hand with a shocked face, and said worriedly: "Child, the situation in this court is changing rapidly, although the prince is the prince now, whether he can sit in that position in the future is still two words!" Mother knows that you want her to live a good life for the rest of her life, but this thing is too dangerous! Mother doesn't want you to put yourself in danger, even if our mother and daughter are harder, but if you live peacefully like this, your mother is already very satisfied! ”

Liu Shi held Lin Yingxue's hand tightly, and his face was full of worry.

Looking at Liu's appearance, how could Lin Yingxue not be moved in her heart? If she was still the Lin Yingxue in her previous life, with a mother who loved her like this, she would definitely stop it now, but unfortunately she was no longer the same her.

In this life, she lived for revenge, if she couldn't kill those who had hurt her with her own hands, then what was the point of her living again?

"Mother, my daughter has waded into this muddy water, and there is no room to stop." Lin Yingxue had tears in her eyes, and there were indescribable complex emotions in her eyes.

Liu stared at Lin Yingxue for a long time, and finally could only helplessly hug Lin Yingxue into his arms, "Child, mother knows that you have a secret in your heart, you don't want to say it, and mother doesn't ask much." If you want to fight, your mother has no other way but to support you, but you have to promise your mother that you will protect yourself no matter what the situation. ”

"Okay, Yingxue promised her mother that she would definitely live well." Live well and protect the people around her. Lin Yingxue hugged Liu tightly, her expression was firm.
