Chapter 43: Not in vain

|i^k";

Xiao Ziling's words. made Ouyang Ying even more puzzled: Why. Xiao Ziling will say, "If you become a queen". Xiao Ziling didn't want to be the queen herself. Do you personally protect the Xiao family? And why. Xiao Ziling will be like entrusting the future. solemnly entrust the lives of the Xiao family to her.

Xiao Ziling saw that Ouyang Ying was still silent. He continued: "I don't know if you have ever heard the emperor swear in front of the Queen Mother. I will never be the next in my life."

Ouyang Ying nodded lightly.

Xiao Ziling continued: "You also know. I can't be a queen in this life. However. For me. Whether or not you can become a queen is not the most important thing in this life. Though. Occasionally, I thought about being a queen. However, I just want to protect my family and my clan. It's just a favor to my father and brother. Now. Since I have no hope of becoming a queen in this life. So. It's better to help you become a queen. Please keep my family safe."

.. And also. The reason why Xiao Ziling didn't say it to Ouyang Ying:

One is to silently let Ouyang Ying take advantage of it. It's better to show that he has already understood her plot. But he was willing to help her. Such. Not only will they not allow themselves to be foolishly used by others. can also ask Ouyang Ying for personal favors by the way. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

The second is that Xiao Ziling has already made preparations to escape from the palace and wander the world. However. She couldn't let go of the kindness of the Xiao couple to her in her heart. Always faintly worried about the Xiao family. Therefore. She decided to plan for the Xiao family as early as possible.

The third is that she has already believed Ouyang Ying's words. It is believed that it was Bai Rushuang who designed to frame her and Zhan Zhan. Not only did it kill Zhan Zhan. It was even more harmful that the fetus in her womb was beaten down by Meng Hongyu himself. If you don't take revenge before you leave the palace. So. Once she escaped from the palace. There will never be a chance to get rid of the white frost again. She didn't want to leave the palace with regrets.

Although Xiao Ziling said it reasonably. But Ouyang Ying still had doubts. She stared at Xiao Ziling in disbelief. I don't know if this clever woman is confused at this time. Or do you have to use her in reverse.

"Could it be. Only use the conspiracy to get the ending you want. You will be reassured. Now. I 'cast myself into the net' and said that I would work with you to remove the white frost. You won't believe me." Xiao Ziling saw Ouyang Ying's doubts. He mocked her sarcastically.

"Why help me?" Ouyang Ying asked directly.

"Why did you come to Yukado to find me? Don't. Not because you don't want to do it yourself." Xiao Ziling glanced at Ouyang Ying meaningfully. Yoyo said. Of course. You can go and tell the Queen Mother that Lin Yueyao was killed by white frost. However. Now the Queen Mother trusts you so much. You're afraid that the Queen Mother will think that you are also an ordinary concubine who is good at telling right and wrong. Therefore, the impression on you is greatly reduced. Isn't it. Moreover. You're still afraid that if the Queen Mother asks you why you didn't tell her about it earlier. And how do you deal with it?"

Xiao Ziling hit the nail on the head and said what Ouyang Ying thought in his heart. However. This needle is too deep. Let Ouyang Ying's heart not be happy. Thereupon. She said unhappily, "You already know. And why say it."

Ouyang Ying's unhappiness. It won't make Xiao Ziling unhappy. But I saw her smile. said to Ouyang Ying: "Miss Ouyang, don't be angry. Something is said to be done. It's better than having a ghost in your heart. Since. We knew each other's purposes. Now we can join forces without any worries. Isn't it?"

Thinking about Xiao Ziling's words is not unreasonable. The anger in Ouyang Ying's heart disappeared a lot. He also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Nodding his head and saying, "That's the same reason. So. Next. What do you want to do?"

Oh, yes. Now I think about what to do. Xiao Ziling didn't answer Ouyang Ying. Just shook his head slightly. Said a little playfully: "Since Miss Ouyang is here to borrow my treasure sword. It's better to keep counting the bills. In the future. You just don't know about it. Nor has it had anything to do with me. Here's what to do next. It's my Xiao Ziling's business. It should also be borne by me, Xiao Ziling.. Sometime. If someone else asks about it. I would say the same."

Ouyang Ying heard Xiao Ziling say this. I know that she is a thoughtful and well-planned woman. I can't help but put my mind at ease. Thereupon. The decision was based on Xiao Ziling's words. Just when you don't know anything. Let Xiao Ziling show off his skills. After today's "war of words", she has already appreciated Xiao Ziling's "style" and decided to believe in this wise and intelligent woman.

"That being the case. After that, I stayed out of it and left it alone. This matter. It's up to you to decide......" Ouyang Ying said to Xiao Ziling. Wish. You can succeed."

"Hmm. Rest assured." Xiao Ziling nodded and said. I hope you will remember the agreement between us. Sometime. What if something happens to me...... You can protect the Xiao family......"

Accidents...... What will happen? The more Xiao Ziling said it, the more it seemed like he was explaining what was going on. But. That's right. Since it has been decided to start a war with White as Frost. How can there be no sacrifice? War between women. Although there is no smoke of gunpowder. But just as ruthless, just as cruel.

Ouyang Ying nodded heavily. I gave Xiao Ziling a promise very seriously. And then. She said goodbye to Xiao Ziling: "Since the process is not satisfactory. But the ending is the same. Now he has borrowed a sword that is as white as frost. It's worth the trip. It's time for me to go back. After all. The longer you stay here, the more troublesome it becomes...... Next. It's up to you. If there's anything you need my help with. Just ask."

"Go ahead. Miss Ouyang Ying can rest assured. I have my own plans. Now that you have decided to make a move. One less person contaminated with intrigue and gore. Wouldn't it be better? Therefore. I don't need any help. You wait to reap the benefits. And then...... When the Xiao family is unfortunate in the future. Give me back one more promise."

"Hmm." Ouyang Ying nodded solemnly. Then he turned around and walked out of the study. Leaving Yuhanado......

After Ouyang Ying left. Xiaoru went into the house to clean up the tea set on the table. See Shinoru. Zi Ling couldn't help but think of what Xiaoru had said to her that day. Therefore. She asked, "I remember. Have you ever told me that you often see a little eunuch near our Xihua Hall. Quite suspicious."

"Hmm." Shinoru stopped what he was doing. Looking at Xiao Ziling. Nodding earnestly. The slave and maid have talked to you...... But. I haven't met that little eunuch again......"

"I haven't seen him since then." Xiao Ziling asked.

"It seems ......" Shinoru tilted her head. Recall carefully. Then it seems to suddenly remember. She clapped her hands and said. It seems that since that night you and Zhan ...... No. Assassins appeared that night...... The emperor came to the Xihuatang...... After this happened. The slave and maid never saw him."

"DO YOU KNOW. Which palace is he?" Xiao Ziling suspected that the little eunuch might be sent by Bai Rushuang to spy on her.

"This ...... There are so many eunuchs in this palace. The slave really didn't know which palace he was...... But. Slaves and maids can go and ask the eunuchs of the Cold Moon Palace." Xiaoru said.

"That's great. You go check it out for me. But. But don't make a big fuss." Xiao Ziling commanded.

"Slaves and maids naturally understand." Xiaoru replied obediently. Then he packed up his tea set and went out.

Shinoru closed the door. Xiao Ziling walked to the window. Quietly looking out the window at the plum tree. There are many thoughts in her heart: although there is no definite evidence that Bai Rushuang framed her and Zhan Zhan. However. In her heart, she vaguely felt that what Ouyang Ying said was true. This matter must be as white as frost and make a stumbling block. Xiao Ziling herself has been pregnant with a child. Understand the feelings of being a mother. Nothing else. If you look at it purely from the standpoint of a mother. White as frost is suspicious enough. It's a dark and slippery night. How dare she, who was pregnant, walk to Cining Palace with just a weak palace maid...

If. It's really as white as frost. So. Brother Zhan was killed by frost. The child in her womb. It was also because he was framed by Bai Rushuang that Meng Hongyu's suspicion was aroused. And then. A bowl of saffron given by his biological father...... Remembering these things again. Xiao Ziling's heart is dripping blood. The throat seems to be blocked by cotton. Can't swallow a breath to go..

Before leaving the palace. She must remove the white as frost. to prevent future troubles. Otherwise. If it is as white as frost, one day she will really become a queen. So. It will definitely be detrimental to the Xiao family. Moreover. A woman as ruthless and poisonous as a snake and scorpion like Bai Rushuang stayed by Meng Hongyu's side. Xiao Ziling was not at ease after all. Though. Xiao Ziling has decided to leave Meng Hongyu. But. She still hopes that Meng Hongyu can have a virtuous and virtuous woman by her side. Hold on to each other. Stay together. I hope he can be safe in his family and country. Jiangshan Yonggu.

For Meng Hongyu. Also for the Xiao family. Even if she and Zhan Zhan were not framed by Bai Rushuang. She must also remove the whiteness as frost. However. And how to get rid of the white as frost?

Maybe. She can tell Meng Hongyu directly. That night. It was the white as frost design that led him to the Yuhuatang. I can see the scene where she and Zhan Zhan have a very happy conversation. And then. Let Meng Hongyu believe that she and Zhan Zhan were framed by Bai Rushuang. However. Even if Meng Hongyu believed that there was innocence between her and Zhan Zhan. So what. At all costs. She and Zhan Zhan talked freely under the lamp in the middle of the night. It is indeed against the rules of the palace and against etiquette.

Moreover. Meng Hongyu is willing to admit that he was used by Bai Rushuang in a daze. Has it become a chess piece in the competition for favor among women? No. Proud as he is. He flatly refused to admit it. Even if Meng Hongyu was convinced in his heart that it was white as frost. He will not hold Bai Rushuang accountable either. Not to mention how to put that woman to death...

Therefore. This trick of "closing the door and catching the thief" will not work. So. Let's make a move to "sound the east and attack the west"......
