It's time to return to the Hou Mansion.

Yun He walked behind Ming Ran, "Miss, do you still want to go to Dali Temple?" ”

"No need, first wronged Miss Su to stay in prison for two days, you ask someone to take care of the Su family, and you can't let the Shen family be punished in private."

"Yes."

At night, the Xueliu courtyard was quiet, and the room was pitch black, except for a little moonlight that came through the window lattice.

Ming Ran leaned on the couch, thinking back to the picture outside King Chen's mansion today.

Since she woke up from a cold two days ago, she had a wonderful feeling for Xiao Yichen, and seemed to have pinned her feelings for Xiao Mo on him.

She always felt that Xiao Yichen was Xiao Mo in her heart, but she didn't understand, if he was really Xiao Mo, then why didn't he recognize her?

The ground was sprinkled with the silver-white moonlight outside the window, and Ming Ran got up, took the big silk on the high wooden frame and tied it to his body, turned around and opened the door with a light step.

She looked up at the night sky, her heart full of melancholy.

Today, Guo Yuxi went to King Chen's Mansion, and Xiao Yichen also seemed very enthusiastic, if the emperor gave the two to marry, what should she do?

She had to admit at this moment that the disgust she showed for Xiao Yichen in the imperial study was because of her jealousy today.

"Ugh." She let out a long sigh.

A small sound of footsteps came from the cloister, apparently waking the maid of the night watch.

"Miss, why did you come out in the middle of the night?" Yun He asked with a worried face.

Ming Ran lowered his head and smiled, and said lightly: "I can't sleep." ”

Yunhe is the maid who has followed Mingran for the longest time, in the past two years, she has watched Mingran's changes, and she has guessed a thing or two about her master's thoughts, but she is just a slave, and she really doesn't know how to comfort her.

Mingran turned to her and smiled, "You go back and rest, I'll look at the night again and go back to the house." ”

"The slave is with the young lady."

"The night is cold, and many people go back to their beds early to rest because they can't bear the cold. The beautiful scenery under the moon was finally let down. Her tone was sad, looking up at the bright moon.

Yun He looked sideways at the side face of Ming Dye, compared to the cold moonlight, the beautiful face in front of her was more beautiful in her heart.

Ming Ran lowered his head and looked at Yunhe, "Tomorrow, I will check all the people in this Xueliu Courtyard." ”

With that, she turned and went back into the house.

In the evening of the next day, Akiran received a letter.

Tonight, two miles outside the house, come with the carriage.

After reading the letter, Ming Ran shredded it.

This is the eldest princess invited her to meet tonight, she is full of doubts about the Su family's documents, if the eldest princess really has a letter in her hand, why doesn't the Su family know? And why did the eldest princess have to hand it over to her?

Although Ming Ran was puzzled, he felt that he was in ancient times for too long, so he was wary of people everywhere.

She hid the doubts in her heart and ordered Yunhe to go with her tonight.

At the end of the day, she and Yunhe quietly left the house from the backyard.

found a carriage two miles away from the Hou Mansion.

As soon as the two got into the carriage, there was a thick incense in the car, and Ming Ran quickly lost consciousness, and Yun He struggled twice and fell to Ming Ran's side.

When Mingye gradually regained consciousness, she opened her eyes weakly as she heard only the sound of a gurgling river.

The eldest princess sat in front of her with a smug smile on her face, and several sturdy subordinates stood beside her.

"Wake up." Xiao Wenshu smiled and got up.

Mingran's hands were tied behind his back, and a ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

She looked around, making sure that she was on a boat, and that the only place in the capital that could accommodate a boat was the moat.

Xiao Wenshu walked up to her and squatted down and took out the cloth from her mouth.

"Does the eldest princess know what she is doing?" Mingran asked calmly, looking towards the cabin behind her.

Yunhe went out of the house with her, but she was the only one tied up on the deck right now.

Xiao Wenshu chuckled, "I act autonomously, of course I know what I'm doing." ”

"So what does the eldest princess want to do?"

Xiao Wenshu put away her smile, her eyes were grim, and she said, "Kill you." ”

Mingran didn't laugh angrily, and leaned forward, "Can you ask the eldest princess to tell Mingran why?" ”

"If you can be so quiet when you die, it is not in vain that you have the blood of the Mu family in your body."

Xiao Wenshu stood up, faced the river, and said, "If you want to blame, blame you for not competing with my daughter for the back seat, and blame for blaming you for the Guogong Mansion behind you." ”

Ming Ran thought that she was because of Mrs. Su, but he didn't want her to be for Shen Changhuan.

She couldn't help but feel ridiculous, what does the battle for the throne have to do with her?

"Didn't the eldest princess forget the person who competed with Shen Changhuan for the throne at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet? Besides, my grandfather had made an oath back then, so how could I compete with the county lords for the throne? ”

Xiao Wenshu turned her head, leaned on the railing behind her, looked at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "Do you think that the palace banquet was really going to choose the queen that day?" It was just an expedient measure on the part of the emperor. ”

"But what does this have to do with me?" Mingran asked angrily.

"You know, the emperor promised me that if I kill the horse, I will make Changhuan the queen." Xiao Wenshu laughed self-deprecatingly twice, and said: "He is afraid of the Shen family, I got rid of Shen Xing for him and let him regain military power, but he wanted to backtrack." ”

Her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ming Ran's eyes revealing viciousness, "He wants to make you the queen now, because there is the Rongguo Mansion behind you, and my Changhuan is only worthy of being a concubine." ”

Ming Ran was extremely shocked by her words, it turned out that Xiao Yiqian had promised the back position to Shen Changhuan, so the eldest princess would attack the concubine.

"But if you kill me, you can ensure that Shen Changhuan becomes the queen?"

Xiao Wenshu walked up to her and smiled secretly, "You are dead, who else in the Celestial Empire has an identity comparable to my Changhuan?" Is the county lord of Runwang's Mansion? How could the emperor make King Run's daughter the queen. ”

Ming Ran couldn't help but be a little scared, "You're crazy, you killed me, do you think the Hou Mansion will let you go?" Or do you think the Rongguo Mansion will give up? ”

Xiao Wenshu leaned into her ear and whispered: "Yesterday in the imperial study, the emperor told me that since the matter of the concubine has been exposed, if I commit suicide, then he can protect Changhuan I and be thoughtful, and he can also clear the charge for Su Fu." ”

Ming Ran didn't understand what she meant, so she said again: "Since I can't escape death, of course I have to get rid of you for Changhuan before I die, if the world thinks that I died before you, who would have thought that I killed you?" ”

With that, she got up and waved two fingers.

The two men on the deck walked up to Akiran and took out a large rock, which he tied to Akiran's feet.

In an instant, Mingran understood the meaning of her words, and sank the boulder into the river with her, so that she could only sink in the water forever.

When Xiao Wenshu committed suicide, she could only be regarded as missing, because no one knew that her body was under the moat, and it was impossible to determine whether she was killed.

As soon as Xiao Wenshu died, she got rid of suspicion. Even if she is salvaged in the future, no one will think that it was Xiao Wenshu's hand before she died.

Today, when she left the house, no one knew her whereabouts, and Yunhe must have fallen into the hands of Xiao Wenshu.

Ming Ran said loudly: "I left your letter on the table before I left the mansion, and the people of the Hou Mansion will find out about you sooner or later." ”

Xiao Wenshu hooked her lips and smiled, "Look at the darkness on this river, who can see what happened on the boat?" As for that letter, do you think I'll leave it for you? ”

After speaking, she picked up the cloth and blocked Ming Ran's mouth, "Miss Ming, if it wasn't for yesterday in the carriage, I wouldn't have thought of harming you." But as soon as I thought that I was already mortal, and you were the only obstacle to Changhuan's ascension to the back position, then I, as a mother, would have to eradicate the troubles for her. ”

Mingran wanted to scold her, but she couldn't make a sound, and struggled with her hands, but in vain.

She was lifted up and suspended by the two men in the river, and she looked at the bottomless water and wailed in her heart.

Xiao Wenshu waved her hand impatiently, and she was thrown into the river with a hard throw.
