Chapter 16: Violent illness and death

Xiao Ziling stood up, as soon as Fang took a step, he felt that his eyes were dark, his knees were weak, his body was instantly weak and weak, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Zhang Wenyan stared at Xiao Ziling's face with a worried face, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Ye, are you...... You okay? ”

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Xiao Ziling didn't know why he only felt panicked in his heart, his face burned hotly, and he instantly turned red like the sunset at dusk. Xiao Ziling hurriedly stretched himself out and stood up, distancing himself from Zhang Wenyan, but he suddenly didn't dare to look up at his eyes, just lowered his head and muttered, "No, it's okay......"

Yunu had already seen Zhang Wenyan's affection in her eyes, and she also knew Xiao Ziling's worries and apprehensions in her heart, she hurriedly supported Xiao Ziling and said softly: "Sister, let's go home." ”

Xiao Ziling nodded lightly, then let Yunu help him, and walked silently on the way home, Zhang Wenyan was always relieved in his heart, so he quietly followed behind them.

Along the way, whether it is a teahouse or a roadside stall, you can see people gathered together to discuss. The news of the emperor's assassination was talked about everywhere, and broken words intermittently came into Xiao Ziling's ears, making her tremble when she heard it, and the worry and fear in her heart were tense for a while.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The emperor is almost in the capital, and if he enters the capital, he will have no chance......"

"The Assassin...... Killed by the imperial guards beside the emperor......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A letter was found on his body...... It is said that there is a fine work in the palace...... It seems to be a concubine, quite favored......"

"When the Queen Mother heard that the emperor had been assassinated, she was so frightened that she couldn't afford to get sick......"

"Did you find out? Who did this? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who knows...... The fourth prince, who was killed to the end of the world......"

"That fine work is the daughter of Ouyang Gu, the commander of Changxing County...... Now, the Ouyang family is really going to suffer......"

……

Finally, in the overwhelming words, Xiao Ziling walked through the market step by step and walked to the alley leading to "not thinking of living". Walking on the bluestone road, the world instantly fell silent, and she could no longer see the chattering crowd and hear the words that worried her......

The emperor is fine...... Meng Hongyu is fine...... He's fine! If he is really safe and sound, then it is the most fortunate thing to be! However, is Ouyang Ying really meticulous? Is the emperor's assassination really related to her, or is someone deliberately trying to frame her?

Walking to the door, Xiao Ziling was still immersed in boundless thoughts, Yunu pushed the door open, and she walked in stunned. Yunu finally couldn't help but turn around, turned around and asked Zhang Wenyan, who had been following them, impatiently: "Thank you Brother Zhang for sending us off, we are home, Brother Zhang can go!" ”

Xiao Ziling knew that Zhang Wenyan was with him all the way, so he came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, turned to Zhang Wenyan and said, "Brother Zhang...... Tomorrow, have a nice trip......"

She was worried about Meng Hongyu in her heart, so her face was pale, her eyes were weak, and she couldn't raise her interest to say goodbye to Zhang Wenyan, but she barely put on a smile and said goodbye hastily.

"Tomorrow...... I'm not leaving, I'll leave in two days......" Zhang Wenyan looked at Xiao Ziling with a worried face, his eyes were full of concern - now, how could he leave with confidence when she looked like this?

Although, he didn't know why she was so unwilling, and he didn't know if she was overwhelmed with a lot of things in her heart and hid a deep secret, he just couldn't help but worry about her. Concerned about her smile, concerned about her happiness, but also concerned about her unhappiness.

After hearing that the emperor was assassinated, although he was very anxious, but now that the emperor is fine, he is much more relieved, so let's stay for two more days before leaving! - After all, if you go to say goodbye, you may really never have the chance to see Ye Xin again!

"Brother Zhang......" Xiao Ziling wanted to persuade him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, after all, in the event of such a major event, Meng Hongyu needed a trustworthy person by his side. Didn't the incident of the other day escape because of Lu Yao by his side? However, she didn't know how to speakβ€”even though she had a thousand words to let Zhang Wenyan reach Meng Hongyu's ears!

So, she had to turn a thousand words into a few numbers: "Brother Zhang...... Come and see me tomorrow! ”

For the first time, she actually took the initiative to invite him to come to see her, which really made Zhang Wenyan ecstatic, so he couldn't stop nodding his head and said with a happy face: "Okay! I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

Zhang Wenyan left and closed the door, but Xiao Ziling leaned on the door weakly, panting softly, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was as white as the moon.

Yu Nu couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Sister...... Are you okay? ”

Xiao Ziling shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay...... I'm just tired......"

What the hell is going on? Meng Hongyu - Are you okay?

.

It is said that when he was about to arrive in the capital, Meng Hongyu really encountered an assassin, but fortunately with Lu Yao's escort, he escaped a bloody disaster, and in a fit of rage, he ordered to torture an assassin who was caught by the imperial guards before he had time to escape.

However, the Assassin gritted his teeth and refused to say who was instigating. In the end, while the guards were negligent, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide, and when he cleaned up the body, he found a letter in the pocket of the assassin's underwear, and the signature of the letter turned out to be Ouyang Ying! Meng Hongyu confirmed it carefully and confirmed that the handwriting in the letter was indeed Ouyang Ying's handwriting!

Meng Hongyu was furious, rushed back to the palace non-stop, and threw the letter directly in front of Ouyang Ying. Ouyang Ying was originally in a mood of great joy, looking forward to Meng Hongyu's return, but who knew that when he came back, he was so angry that he wanted to cut her into five horses with a thousand knives!

Picking up the plain white letterhead from the ground and reading the letter carefully, Ouyang Ying was stunned - she swore that she had never written that letter! Absolutely nothing! Someone must have framed her!

However, let her defend herself in every possible way, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and swearing and swearing with tears in her eyes, Meng Hongyu didn't believe what she said, and ordered her to be placed under house arrest in the Cold Moon Palace. Unfortunately, the next day, Meng Hongyu received a letter from Zhang Wenyan, in which he detailed the rumors he had heard in the Jiangnan area - Ouyang Ying was originally a courtesan in Hangzhou, and was later redeemed by a prince and taken to Changxing County to be the adopted daughter of Ouyang Gu and his wife, and later, Ouyang Gu did everything possible to send Ouyang Ying into the palace......

Now, Ouyang Ying is really in a catastrophe!

It was night, Meng Hongyu went to the Cold Moon Palace-

Ouyang Ying was weeping under the lamp, she remembered her hardships along the way, under the temptation of glory, wealth and power, she gave up love, gave up kindness, gave up friendship, gave up family affection, and was determined to fight loneliness in the lonely palace......

However, when she heard the news of Xiao Ziling's death, she secretly rejoiced that she had lost her biggest competitor; Just when she was fighting for the queen's throne with all her heart, thinking that she had finally taken another step forward; Just when she was waiting for the news of Meng Hongyu's return to Beijing and was about to show off her skills-at this time, it should have been a great opportunity, but who knew that it would be a disaster to greet her?!

Meng Hongyu came to Lengyue Palace in person, and the moment he saw him, Ouyang Ying was still hopeful, thinking that he was here to repay his innocence, but who knew that his first sentence was a scolding question: "You and Meng Hongye...... What exactly is the relationship? ”

At that moment, Ouyang Ying knew that he had completely fallen into the abyss of death and was about to fall to pieces - the emperor finally knew her secret and knew that she was inextricably linked with Meng Hongyu! Coupled with the assassination a few days ago, this time, she is really powerless!

Originally, she thought that she would commit herself to the palace after betraying love and kindness, as long as she did not step out of the palace in her life, she could completely sever her relationship with Meng Hongye, escape from his "clutches", and rest easy. Who knows, after all, she still can't escape the fate that Meng Hongye arranged for her in advance! Back then, since he could save her, give her food and clothing, and give her status, now, he can still destroy her, and even let her die in Huangquan - Ouyang Ying expected that the assassination of the emperor must have been arranged by Meng Hongye!

Sure enough, Ouyang Ying still knew Meng Hongye. All this is really Meng Hongye's strategy!

In other words, Ouyang Ying is no longer "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", but "in Cao Ying's heart is also in Cao Ying", then, for Meng Hongye, Ouyang Ying not only has no use value, but may even betray him and threaten his interests, then, she must die!

So, Meng Hongye came up with this plan, of course, the ultimate goal was to assassinate Meng Hongyu. Although he knew that Meng Hongyu was surrounded by masters like a forest, the people he sent would definitely not be able to get close to him, but even if he couldn't assassinate him, it would be good to scare him, not to mention, he could also get rid of Ouyang Ying by the way!

Growing up together, Meng Hongye certainly knew that Meng Hongyu was a suspicious person, he never trusted others easily, he was insecure, and he would be suspicious whenever he had some clues. Therefore, to make him suspicious of Ouyang Ying, so as to get rid of Ouyang Ying, it was simply easy for Meng Hongye!

Ouyang Ying only knew that Meng Hongye was an amorous man, for the sake of Su Zirong, who was never forgotten in his heart, he could wander the world for half his life, he could never marry in this love, or he could seize power and usurp the throne without hesitation. What Ouyang Ying didn't know was that Meng Hongye's deep affection in this life had already been poured into Su Zirong, and after Su Zirong, there was no woman who could get half of his attention and half of his affection - even if it was Su Rong who looked like Su Zirong, it was impossible!

For Meng Hongye, Ouyang Ying is just a chess piece in his hand! Now, since this chess piece is useless, then we should treat it as nothing, discard it like a piece of waste, and kill it quickly!

The next day, the holy decree was announced to the world: the concubine Ouyang died of a violent illness......

Died of a violent illness...... Yes, hopeless love is a disease, the desire for power is a disease, suspiciousness and insecurity are a disease, painful lovesickness is also a disease, and therefore, many people are doomed to die of a violent illness!
