Chapter 8: Bloodshed
i^i^
Zi Ling looked up. Fearlessly, he looked directly into Meng Hongyu's angry eyes. Even with a hint of intimidation and scare in his eyes. She's not afraid. I didn't even bow to him. She stood straight and steady. Lang Sheng said, "I don't know what the spirit of the child is."
Meng Hongyu knew that Xiao Ziling was not frightened. This at least shows that she has no ghosts in her heart. Really. He didn't believe her wrong. However. Although he believes in Xiao Ziling. But today so many concubines are present. It's not that he said he believed it. I have to let the concubines present believe her.
Therefore. Meng Hongyu continued to ask, "Where did you go at night?"
Where did it go. Zi Ling couldn't help but think of the back garden of Yongle Palace. Zhan Zhan's burning eyes stared at her...... But. So what. She didn't do anything to be sorry for Meng Hongyu. Therefore. She said calmly: "I went to the back garden to enjoy the plum blossoms......"
"Niangniang is not going anywhere......" in the moment when Ziling hesitated slightly. Yu Nu also hurriedly said.
Outcome. Zi Ling and Yu Nu spoke at the same time. The concubines present all heard the different words of their master and servant. I couldn't help but whisper it underneath.
The jade slave couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart. I can't wait to beat myself in the mouth, she originally wanted to help her young lady. Didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Instead, it hurt her young lady.
But Zi Ling's face did not change. Still looking calm. Meng Hongyu couldn't help but settle down a lot in his heart. I believe that Liu Ruxin's death has nothing to do with Ziling.
"Where the hell did you go?" The Queen Mother asked with a frown.
"I'm going to enjoy the plum blossoms in the back garden of Yongle Palace." Zi Ling replied categorically.
"Such a cold snowy night. Go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers." The Queen Mother asked suspiciously, is this unreasonable. What kind of plum to enjoy in the middle of the night?
"The moon rises brightly. An expanse of white snow. Plum blossom scorching. The shadow is sparse and shallow. Dark incense floating. Such a beautiful snowy night. You don't have to pick up the lights to enjoy the plums. Wouldn't it be a pity?" Zi Ling chuckled and said. Don't. Someone will live up to such a beautiful Mei. Defile such pure snow. Do you want to kill someone in such a beautiful moonlight?"
Listened to what she had to say. Meng Hongyu couldn't help but clap his hands in his heart, saying that he was worthy of Xiao Ziling, who was smart and sharp-toothed in ice and snow. Such a straightforward suspicion was easily dispelled.
"Yao Concubine. What you said to me and my mother. Say it again in front of everyone." Meng Hongyu still pretended to be expressionless. To put it mildly, push Lin Yueyao to the front line and let Lin Yueyao confront Xiao Ziling. He believes. Xiao Ziling can definitely argue that Lin Yueyao is speechless. When the time comes. All of Lin Yueyao's accusations will be self-defeating.
He believes. His spirit is absolutely innocent.
"That day. Liu Zhaorong cried and came to Si'an Courtyard to beg me to save her...... Liu Zhaorong said. Xiao Guifei framed her for causing Xiao Guifei to give birth prematurely...... also framed that her prince was killed by Liu Zhaorong...... Liu Zhaorong was scared. Crying all the time...... said that Concubine Xiao would not let her go......" Lin Yueyao pretended to be very scared. Said incoherently. I kindly soothed her. And she went back. Who knows. That's what happened today......"
After speaking. Lin Yueyao was so "sad" that she cried.
Listened to Lin Yueyao's words. Watch her vivid acting skills. Xiao Ziling couldn't help but sneer. After laughing. She squinted slightly. Stared at Lin Yueyao wickedly. Meaningfully asked, "Oh. That's the case. Then why didn't Liu Zhaorong ask the emperor and the queen mother for help. but went to you for help."
"I ...... I don't know why...... Xu Liu Zhaorong was frightened." Lin Yueyao said.
"Both freaked out. Then you should go to the emperor and the queen mother for help. How could they run to you?" Zi Ling continued to press on step by step.
"I ...... Maybe it's because my Si'an Courtyard is closer to her." Lin Yueyao continued to argue.
"Oh yes. Your Si'an Courtyard is indeed very close to her Si Le Yuan." Zi Ling deliberately emphasized heavily. But everybody knows. You are the voice of the chicken and the dog. Old and dead don't get along. I don't know. When did Liu Zhaorong get so close to you. I would have entrusted my life with my life."
"You...... What do you mean?" Lin Yueyao's heart gradually panicked. Don't know what to say.
"What do you mean. I'm sure you know it." Zi Ling snorted coldly. Said sharply.
"You...... Do you mean to say that Liu Zhaorong was killed by me" Lin Yueyao was so angry that her face turned white. Hurry up and say." I spent the whole night in Cining Palace with the Queen Mother. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Queen Mother."
"Zi Ling doesn't dare." Zi Ling hurriedly bowed down to the Queen Mother "with sincere fear." Hurriedly said. Zi Ling didn't dare to have half a suspicion of Concubine Yao."
Saluted to the Queen Mother. Zi Ling straightened up. Continue to face Lin Yueyao. smiled indifferently: "I believe in the filial piety of Concubine Yao. I also believe that Concubine Yao is in Cining Palace at night to accompany the Queen Mother. Of course. I believe it even more. The night Sister Yung died. Concubine Yao Niangniang is also with the Queen Mother."
Listen to what Zi Ling said. Lin Yueyao's face turned pale with fright on the spot. Lips trembled. Don't know what to say.
The Queen Mother heard this. It is also a big change in the face. How could she not understand the meaning of Xiao Ziling's words. Don't. Is Xiao Ziling accusing her of killing Su Zirong as well?
Saw. The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned blue. She stood up from her chair. Pointing at Xiao Ziling, he shouted, "Bold. Xiao Guifei dared to speak wildly. Ruined the reputation of the mourning family."
The child spirit was "frightened" and scattered. Quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Zi Ling deserves to die. The Queen Mother misunderstood. Zi Ling didn't mean that...... Sister Rong's death has absolutely nothing to do with the Queen Mother. It definitely has nothing to do with Concubine Yao." Zi Ling continued to kowtow and "beg for mercy" and said, "The Queen Mother spares her life. Damn it...... The soul deserves death."
"Shut up." Meng Hongyu originally wanted Xiao Ziling and Lin Yueyao to confront each other. Good self-justification. I didn't expect things to come to this point. actually involved Su Zirong's matter. Jing Ziling mentioned this. He couldn't help but think of his various inconsistencies with Su Zirong. Therefore the heart is uncomfortable. Hurriedly stopped Xiao Ziling.
"The emperor is angry." Ziling turned to Meng Hongyu to "kowtow and beg for mercy". That's not what the spirit meant. Zi Ling knows. Sister Rong definitely hanged herself. Otherwise. The emperor will not remain indifferent. I will definitely ask the teacher as solemnly as he does today. Find out the real murderer who killed Sister Rong."
yes. When Su Zirong died. Why didn't he investigate it properly? Today. This Liu Ruxin deserves to be offended by death. He was so "affectionate and righteous" to avenge Liu Ruxin. Zi Ling was indignant in his heart.
Is she blaming herself? It's not enough to blame the Queen Mother. Now. She's going to accuse him again. Don't. She didn't know what Tsunade ethics was. I don't know that he is the Son of Heaven of the Ninety-Five. Don't. She is not afraid of being cut by a thousand knives, and Meng Hongyu is so angry that she smokes. Hands trembling.
Oh, yes. She's not afraid. She's not afraid of anything. She let it go. He summoned her in the middle of the night. It turned out to be to humiliate her in public. Embarrass her since. He doesn't trust her. On the contrary, after listening to Lin Yueyao's words, she suspected that she killed Liu Ruxin. So. Why should she honor him, love him, and believe in him? Even ridiculously expected that he could make himself dependent
"Shut up." Meng Hongyu was so angry that he couldn't distinguish between "me" and "me". Pick up the teacup in hand and slam it to the ground. I heard only a crisp sound. The teacup smashed into the white marble floor. Broken porcelain splashed everywhere.
Zi Ling only felt something fly over his face. And then. A spicy pain came from the right cheek. Reach out and touch it gently. A stream of blood poured out. Her face was scratched by the broken porcelain he had smashed.
However. It is not only the face of the child spirit that is hurt; Now. Her heart had already been wounded by him, and it was bloody and aching. It's a heart-rending pain. And who knows. Why. After listening to Lin Yueyao's words. He didn't ask if her child was really killed by Liu Ruxin. Instead. She had just stepped into the Guangshou Hall. He scolded her if she was guilty of such a ruthless man. Why love.
Tears finally burst out of my eyes. One by one, they slipped out of their eyes. Tears flow over the wound on the cheek. The pain in the wound intensified. She fell to her knees silently. The heart is like ashes. Expressionless.
Look at the bleeding wound on her cheek. Meng Hongyu suddenly regretted his reckless move. His heart ached slightly. I can't wait to go up and hug her. Kiss her lightly on the cheek. Kiss away her blood and wounds.
Meng Hongyu was about to open his mouth and let people go to Xuan Taiyi. Zi Ling suddenly spoke faintly: "Could it be. The emperor doesn't ask. Did my emperor really be killed?"
Don't. Their children were literally killed. Not naturally premature. It's not that Xiao Ziling is suspicious. It's not these women who are making waves. For the first time. Meng Hongyu was also puzzled.
Seeing that he was silent. Just sit quietly on top of the high hall. Not sad or happy. Silent and silent. Zi Ling finally despaired. She laughed coldly. The laughter grew sad. There is despair. There is heartache. There is a decision. There is anger...... That laughter made Meng Hongyu's heart gradually chill. He couldn't bear to hear about it.
And the concubines present. They were all made to look at each other by Xiao Ziling's laughter. They didn't know why she was laughing. I don't know why she dared to be angry with the emperor and angry with the queen mother. And laughing so wildly.
After laughing. Xiao Ziling slowly stood up. Step by step, I walked towards the door. The wound on her face has congealed. The bleeding also stopped. It's just that. The plain goose-yellow clothes were stained with dripping blood. A blush on the right side of his chest. As if her scarred heart. Appalling. Shocking.
"Stop."
Zi Ling's right foot has just stepped out of the threshold. There was a loud shout from behind. Zi Ling stopped. Turn around......
