Chapter 11: Jade Smoke

i^%&*";

Oh, yes. Since Xiao Ziling hates Lin Yueyao to the core. Hell-bent on avenging the murder of his son. Why didn't she tell Xiao Wanzhong about Liu Ruxin and Lin Yueyao framing her emperor.

Original. Xiao Ziling already knew what the "butterfly effect" was: if she told her father and brother about it. Then her father and brother would have been furious; Her father and brother were furious. will definitely go to the Lin family to seek revenge; After the Xiao family seeks revenge against the Lin family. The two will definitely turn their faces completely. If. The two most powerful families in the world are fighting each other. Then the world will be in chaos; If the world is in chaos. Then Meng Hongyu's country is in jeopardy.

She doesn't want Meng Hongyu's country to be in jeopardy. Don't let him be the king of the dead country. Don't let him die at the hands of careerists. Even if she vows never to love him again. She still hoped that he would live well. Live happily. Live happily.

She, Xiao Ziling, is such a smart woman. Ouyang Ying wanted to get it. How could she not have imagined it? And because of this. She refused to tell her father and brother about it. And chose to bear this thousand pounds of pain silently. Choose to go it alone. I want to avenge the murder of my son on my own.

However. Zhan Zhan didn't know Zi Ling's good intentions. Therefore. After Ouyang Ying's "click". He naturally fell for Ouyang Ying's "scheme". He told the Xiao father and son about Lin Yueyao's harm to Xiao Ziling's loss of his son.

Really. Xiao Wanzhong was furious when he learned about this. Xiao Zixun was also so angry that he got up. The father and son swore that they would cut the Lin father and daughter with a thousand knives. In the past. Zi Ling was "assigned" to Baiyun Temple. was "grounded" in the Cold Moon Palace. They were "snubbed" by Meng Hongyu, and none of them were so angry. Because. They understand that the harem is a troubled place. There are ups and downs. There are gains and losses. There are laughter and tears. How can there be no calculations and conspiracy? So. They only think that the fall from grace and grounding of Ziling are common things in the harem. Didn't interfere much.

But nowadays. The Lin father and daughter killed his own grandson. His precious daughter was thrown into the cold. You said. How could he Xiao Wanzhong swallow this breath. Therefore. Xiao Wanzhong vows to avenge his dead grandson. He must seek justice for his beloved daughter.

However. The Xiao family father and son have not yet begun to deploy a plan for revenge. The next day. The fact that Xiao Ziling was framed by the Lin family and his daughter is well known.

There was a lot of rumors in the capital. It is rumored everywhere that Xiao Guifei's prince was killed by the Lin father and daughter. The Lin father and daughter also killed Liu Zhaorong. and then blamed Xiao Guifei...... The Queen Mother believed Lin Yueyao's words. He demoted Xiao Guifei to Zhaorong. Break into the cold palace......

After the rendering of this gossip. Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has become an incompetent father who can't protect his beloved daughter. The Xiao family has become a "gradually declining" family. Everyone secretly speculated in private that the Xiao family's big tree had fallen and the general trend was about to go. Otherwise. How could Xiao Guifei be beaten into the cold palace. How could the Xiao family not dare to let the Lin family bully and oppress **.How could the Lin father and daughter be safe and sound.

This rumor is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. It strengthened Xiao Wanzhong's determination to eradicate the Lin family. After all. After the rendering of rumors. This matter is no longer simply a conflict of interests and a power entanglement. It is more related to the face of the Xiao family. At all costs. He has to fight to the death with the Lin family.

Original. In order to make the contradiction between the Lin family and the Xiao family completely white-hot. Ouyang Ying had already instructed the "own people" in the capital to secretly spread the news in the letter.

Ouyang Ying is really a smart woman. At a glance, she understood the trade-off behind this matter. I also know how to "use" the exhibition. The conspiracy behind Xiao Ziling's loss of his son was passed on to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng. Next. What she and Meng Hongye are going to do. It's just to sit and watch the tiger fight. Take advantage of the fisherman.

Saying. The second day after the turmoil in Cining Palace. Zi Ling took Yu Nu and Xiao Ru to the Xihua Hall. There are also a few palace maids and eunuchs in Cining Palace who are willing to follow Ziling to Xihuatang. It's just that. Zi Ling likes to be quiet. Therefore. Just like last time, he only took Yu Nu and Xiaoru.

Yukado was much defeated the last time Ziling came. The courtyard is full of dead branches and leaves. The flower bed is overgrown with weeds. The house was full of dust. Strange enough, however. The study is still as clean as the last time Zi Ling came. Don't. Does anyone come to clean Yuhanado regularly? If someone really comes to clean it regularly. Why do you only clean the study? Maybe. It is also possible that the palace maids and eunuchs came here to rest lazily.

Sit down on the couch by the window. Zi Ling let out a long sigh of relief. Raise your head. Close your eyes slowly. The warm winter sun shining through the window covered her face like a piece of silk. It's so comfortable in the sun. Zi Ling couldn't help but smile contentedly.

Looking at Zi Ling's smile. Yu Nu couldn't help but wonder: At this time. Isn't she supposed to be sad? How did you rejoice? If it's another concubine. I must have been crying to death. Only her young lady would be so different.

"It's finally Yukado again." Zi Ling said happily. Seem. Since she lost her son. Yunu had never seen her so happy. Finally. What's so special about this Yukado? It will make her so haunted.

"Why does Miss like Yukado so much?" Yunu asked.

"It's quiet here. How nice."

Don't. Her young lady figured it out again. It's back to the same desireless and wantless as before. A tranquil woman who only wants her own peace. Yunu is secretly happy for his son's inspiration. However. But I heard her say

"This quiet place. It's not like I'm going to finish my revenge without distraction." She said softly. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There is also a pride in the eyebrows and eyes that "this place is very suitable for me".

I see.

While talking. But I heard Xiao Rulai report that Lu Yao was coming.

LU Yao. How did he come here? Zi Ling greeted him with doubts. to the living room. I saw Lu Yao standing in the courtyard. Looking at the bare peach tree in a daze. A thoughtful look. The plant burned in the spring. Peach tree with leafy branches in summer. By this time, the leaves had already fallen. There was only one bare branch left. Ren Shuang bullies Xue Ling. Shimmering in the cold wind.

"What's wrong with Guard Lu?" The child spirit also paced under the peach tree. Asked softly. Reach out and put on a peach branch as thick as a little finger. Break it with a gentle force. Just listen to the crisp sound of "popping". And the branches of the peach tree were broken by the quilt.

At the moment when the peach tree branch was broken. Lu Yao's heart also hurt slightly. However. Quickly clean up that little bit of pain. Lu Yao replied cautiously: "I have seen the noble concubine Niangniang."

"I'm not a concubine anymore." Zi Ling said with a smile.

Only then did Lu Yao realize his mistake. Thereupon. He quickly changed his words and said, "I have seen Zhaorong Niangniang."

Zi Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud at this Lu Yao. Sure enough, it's a nerd. It's just a mistake. He even seriously "reformed himself" again. Don't. He wasn't afraid that his sentence "Zhaorong Niangniang" would upset her.

Fortunately. Zi Ling is not a narrow-minded person. Whether it's "Guifei Niangniang" or "Zhaorong Niangniang" doesn't matter to her anymore. Now. The most important thing is to avenge Su Zirong and her child.

"Is there anything wrong with Guard Lu here?" Zi Ling hurried back to business. She knows. Lu Yao must have something to do to come here. Otherwise. How could he leave Meng Hongyu's side.

Saw. Lu Yao cautiously took out a jade pendant from his arms. Present the jade pendant respectfully. said: "Humility is under the orders of the emperor. Bring this jade pendant to Niangniang."

Took the jade pendant in Lu Yao's hand. Put it in the palm of your hand and look at it carefully. I saw that this is a fine Lantian jade. The jade pendant is carved with a butterfly flapping its wings ready to fly. The butterflies come to life. It seems to be slightly frightened and about to fly away. Zi Ling knows. The jade carved with butterflies means "immortality". "Immortal" is love. Or hatred.

Seeing Zi Ling pinching the jade pendant tightly and was silent. Lu Yao continued: "The emperor said it. The jade pendant that was given to Niangniang before was broken in the Xihuatang. Hope this butterfly jade pendant. Mother, you can take care of it."

That day. She hanged herself under this peach tree. Before deciding to hang your life on the peach tree. She smashed the jade pendant given by Meng Hongyu fiercely. Today. She's just arrived at Yukado. Meng Hongyu instructed Lu Yao to send her this butterfly-shaped jade pendant.

"How to be grateful. Beautiful jade adorned with Luo Ying"

His mind. How could she not understand. He hoped that she would cherish this jade pendant. It's a hint that she wants to live well. So. Is he still in love with her. Is there still a trace of concern for her in his heart? Zi Ling couldn't help but ask secretly in his heart.

Yes. Now. Meng Hongyu didn't know how worried he was about Xiao Ziling. Last night in Cining Palace. He just wanted to dissipate the anger of the Queen Mother for a while. That's why he said that Xiao Ziling would be demoted to Zhaorong. Who knows. Zi Ling would beg to go to the Yuhua Hall. And the Queen Mother is angry. and immediately "fulfilled" her.

Today. Zi Ling has come to the Xihua Hall. All morning. Meng Hongyu was worried. I always think of Zi Ling's hanging in Xihuatang. I'm even more afraid that Zi Ling will see things and think about people in the Xihua Hall. I miss Su Zirong. Resentment of Su Zirong's death. Early dynasty. He was in a trance. Look blank. Morning to the rear. He hurriedly ordered Lu Yao to send this butterfly-shaped jade pendant to Xihua Hall, he hoped. She could read his mind; He hopes. Their love will be immortal; He hopes. This butterfly can protect her for herself.

Zi Ling didn't say a word. Lu Yao couldn't wait for her response. And he departed on his own. Looking at Lu Yao's back, he paced up the steps. Disappear into the portal. Zi Ling's heart suddenly felt sad. However. She didn't know where this sadness came from. Don't. Was she moved by Meng Hongyu. That's just this jade pendant. How could she be moved. This jade pendant is compared to a dead child and a best friend. It's worthless at all.

Didn't she swear on the night of the first snow never to love him again? Why. Holding the jade pendant he sent. There is still a trace of warmth in her heart.
