When Mu Lingzhi told Yu Ruyan that the assassins in the Guyuzhen Inn and the Sugar Man Shop, and the person who carried her jade pendant into the palace to assassinate her was his cousin Mu Yi, Yu Ruyan was completely shocked by his words.

She suddenly thought of something, her expression was flustered, and her face turned pale.

She couldn't help but think of the night when she first arrived in the palace and was punished by Gu Qing'er, the silver-masked man suddenly appeared in her small bungalow, called her 'Fifth Princess', and took her away, but he actually knew her!

Then, in the case of the Wujin Snake, he was imprisoned in the firewood room by An Lirong and deliberately set fire to her, and he also rescued her from the sky and wanted to take her away.

If it was really as Mu Lingzhi said, the assassin was actually Mu Yizhi, the former prince of Liang, then why did he know himself? Do you want to take yourself away from Mu Lingzhi's side again and again?

If he wanted to seek revenge on Mu Lingzhi, why did he take a lot of care of her, when he was in the sugar man shop, he also helped him escape Mu Ziyue's poisonous hands.

It's so confusing!

The more she thought about it, the more questions she had in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a headache.

However, at this moment, Mu Lingzhi suddenly looked at her fixedly and asked, "I have always had a doubt in my heart that has not been solved, at the beginning, how did you take the knife Brother An and quietly evade the search of the officers and soldiers guarding the city and leave the city?" ”

Yu Ruyan didn't expect that after so long, he would still remember this incident. Thinking of Yue Yu's special instructions to her before, she was stunned, and she didn't know how to answer him!

Before, when Yu accompanied her to the battlefield to find Mu Ling, along the way, the two chatted, and unconsciously talked about Yue Yu's medical skills, which reminded Yu Ruyan that he would make human skin masks, and was curious, and couldn't help but ask him who he was learning from him, and he actually learned this secret technique.

However, Yue Yu told her that these skin masks were just something he had acquired by accident, and that he had not made them.

He also told her that if someone asks about it one day, don't say that he gave it to her, because many people in the world are looking for this kind of human skin mask that can be disguised as a real person, and if they know that he has it in their hands, they are afraid that they will find ways to ask him for it.

Yu Ruyan also felt that it made sense when she heard his words, after all, this kind of thing was hard to find, it was really rare, if someone with a heart knew that Yue Yu had it in his hands, it would definitely cause him a lot of harassment.

While she was thinking about these things in her mind, Mu Lingzhi's eyes flashed, and she frowned, "Could it be that Big Brother Wing took you out of the city?" I remembered that time in the candy man shop, he did save you from Xiao Yue's hands. ”

He looked at Yu Ruyan, who was a little confused and flustered, and hesitated: "You-do you know my eldest brother of the wing?" ”

Yu Ruyan's heart was shocked, and she knew that what she thought of, he would also think of it if she was so careful, and couldn't help but say: "No, I can go out of the city because I happened to buy a few on the street...... A couple of human skin masks, and that's the one we wore to get out of town. I don't know him, and it's the first time I've heard you tell him who he really is. ”

Hearing her say this, Mu Lingzhi solved a question in his heart for so long, but when he thought about that rainy night, what Mu Yizhi said to him on this roof, he always felt that he knew Yu Ruyan, but looking at Yu Ruyan's expression, he didn't know his appearance.

He trusted her not to lie to himself, but he also trusted his instincts -

Prince Yi must know Yu Ruyan, but she doesn't know him.

This couldn't help but make him even more confused.

And Yu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, and finally told Mu Lingzhi that Prince Yi had seen him in private before, and also told Mu Lingzhi about his rescue from the fire.

She was puzzled: "I have lived in the mountains of Putuo Temple with my master since I was a child, and after entering the palace at the age of eight, I have been staying in the palace and rarely leaving the palace, but Prince Yi seems to be familiar with me, but I can't remember when I saw him?" ”

Mu Lingzhi figured it out, he sighed and said with a solemn face: "Do you remember those false rumors about you when you married Daliang?" ”

Hearing him mention these at first glance, Yu Ruyan was shocked-

She returned to the palace this time to find out the real jade girl and the spreader of rumors, but all along, there has been no clue, and even the mother and daughter of Concubine Lian, who were suspected at the beginning, were denied by her, so in the entire harem, she really can't think of anyone else who wants to harm her like this?

Looking at the look of surprise on her face, Mu Lingzhi suddenly felt reluctant in his heart-

He already knew that the so-called rumors were just created by Prince Yi to deliberately slander her reputation in order to take revenge on him. The ultimate goal is to destroy the peace between the two countries, that is, to let him kill the princess in a fit of anger and cause the two countries to fight.

And she is just a pawn who was sacrificed inexplicably, because the grievances between them involved the innocent her!

If she knows the truth of this, I'm afraid that she will be hurt again!

However, he underestimated Yu Ruyan's mind-

Looking at Mu Lingzhi's expression of reluctance and reluctance, she was as smart as her, but she had already thought of something.

She felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I guessed correctly, those rumors are ...... It was your cousin who spread it out to deal with you! ”

Mu Lingzhi's whole body was shocked, and he was speechless.

"That's why he knows me, because, in order to deal with you, he has already investigated me."

"It turns out that I keep a male pet privately, but it's just because I have a knife by my side. These rumors spread very convincingly. ”

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly, and her heart was also infinitely bitter, the truth she had always wanted to know was so cruel.

It's not that someone wants to harm her, but that she is ignorant, and she has become a poor pawn for revenge between their brothers!

"What about the Jade Girl? Rumors about the Jade Maiden—"

Yu Ruyan gritted her teeth, held back the chill in her heart, and asked him about the jade girl. However, without waiting for Mu Lingzhi to answer, he already said with a wry smile on his face: "In the days since I returned to the palace, I have been trying my best to inquire about the jade girl, however, the news I got is that this Qi Kingdom Palace has never heard of any jade girl, and even my father and emperor don't know that there is a jade girl, so from the beginning of the harmony caused by the jade girl, everything is fake, and it is all a conspiracy planned by your cousin to retaliate against you——"

"—and I, for no reason, were drawn into this conspiracy......"

Yu Ruyan's heart trembled, from the time when the assassin took her jade pendant into the palace to assassinate, she suddenly felt that she had stepped into a trap designed by others, but what she didn't expect was that this trap was far deeper and more terrifying than she imagined-

From the moment she stepped on the kiss, she had already stepped into the scheme designed by others and became a pitiful pawn!

Looking at her bitter and sad appearance, Mu Lingzhi's heart ached for a while-

Unexpectedly, the disaster ten years ago not only ruined the relationship between him and his cousin, changed the fate of countless people, but also involved the innocent her ten years later, making her a victim of this grievance!

Although this incident did not start because of him, in the end, he was just a victim. However, compared to him, Yu Ruyan was far more hurt than him.

He understood this truth in his heart, and he also empathized with what happened to Yu Ruyan. Therefore, looking at her sad appearance at this moment, my heart is also uncomfortable!

Gently hugging her into his arms, Mu Ling's eyes were firm, and he said seriously: "Yan Yan, I'm sorry for you." Although our acquaintance is a conspiracy, it is rare that no matter how big the conspiracy is, it does not stop us from falling in love, so, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely not make you sad and sad again, and I will not let you leave my side again, in this life, I will be with you and repay everything I owe you. ”

Yu Ruyan was very hurt in her heart, but she also knew that Mu Lingzhi couldn't be blamed for these things, on the contrary, after learning the truth of everything, she was relieved that he had shot her arrow.

Because, she knows that she and him have both stepped into the game set by others, and followed the set trap, who can blame anyone......

Thinking of the layout of the Wing Prince so secretive, Yu Ruyan's whole body trembled, she looked up at Mu Lingzhi in a daze, and said in a panic: "That cousin of yours, his mind is too ruthless, we are in the open and he is in the dark, I don't know what other conspiracy we don't know." I always feel that our every move is under his control, and it is really ...... It's horrible! ”

As soon as she said that, she couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't be afraid!" Mu Lingzhi hugged her tightly in his arms and sighed: "No matter how many conspiracies and tricks are waiting for us on the road ahead, as long as the hearts of the two of us are together, no difficulties can defeat us." What's more, you have to believe me, even if I give up my life, I will definitely protect you! ”

Gently stroking her back and calming the panic in her heart, Mu Lingzhi sighed slowly: "Sleep, it's late!" ”

Under his comfort, Yu Ruyan fell into a deep sleep, but Mu Lingzhi couldn't sleep anymore with his eyes open-

For the past few days, he has been letting the secret guard quietly check the whereabouts of Prince Yi, but it is very strange, since the two met on the roof that night, they have never found any news about him, not only Daqi has no news of him, but even Daliang has no trace of him, and the whole person seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

But Mu Lingzhi clearly understood in his heart that his cousin's hatred for his father and him would not be annihilated by a sword that night, and with his understanding of him, he would definitely not stop there!

Beneath the surface of calm, there must be an even more turbulent undercurrent.

But now he is not most worried about his cousin's revenge, but he is afraid that his father will eventually show the existence of his cousin, according to his father's exterminating nature, if he knows that Prince Yi is still alive, he is afraid that he will kill him at all costs.

What will he do then? Can you see death and not save it, and let your cousin die again at the hands of your father?

But if the cousin is not removed, he must seek revenge on his father, the moment they meet, on the one hand, the father who nurtures him, and on the other hand, the cousin who feels guilty for more than ten years, which side does he want to help?

Mu Lingzhi's headache started, and he never closed his eyes until the sky was white, and he kept his eyes open until dawn!

After breakfast, Chen Fu handed the post in, Mu Lingzhi opened the post and couldn't help but be dumbfounded!

Seeing his surprised look, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but take the post curiously, and when she saw it, she couldn't help laughing!

Of course, Chen Fu's post was written by Chen Yiqing, and he asked Mu Lingzhi for help in the post.

It turned out that Mu Lingzhi's cousin Yuhan County Lord was forcibly ordered by Mu Lingzhi to let her go back to Daliang with 50,000 personal soldiers when the Qi army returned to China, but she didn't expect that after she went back, she actually ran to Daqi with her dowry to find Chen Yiqing, saying that she was willing to marry to the Chen Xiang family of Qi State, and she would marry one day!

Looking at Xie Yuhan who came from afar, Chen Yiqing was a little sad while being happy, thinking of what Mu Lingzhi had warned him, knowing that the future father-in-law had a violent temper, for fear that he would blame him for hooking up with his daughter, and then he was afraid that he would really end him with a sword.

Therefore, after thinking about it, I can only ask Mu Lingzhi to come forward!

Mu Lingzhi also had a headache, but this matter was only suitable for him to come forward, so he had to leave the palace with a bitter face!

Before leaving, Yu Ruyan asked him to ask Chen Yiqing for help, and asked him to quietly find a few trusted midwives and doctors for her outside the palace and quietly bring them into the palace.

She had promised Wu Zhaoyi to protect her thoroughly, so she had to start planning!

She couldn't believe the imperial doctors in the palace, because Concubine Lian had been in charge of the harem for many years, and most of those imperial doctors were already her people, how to tell who was good and who was bad? !

Sending Mu Lingzhi away, Yu Ruyan led Brother An to Yaochun Palace, today, Concubine Shuniang moved to the palace and moved to the Chunjing Palace newly given by King Qi.

Yaochun Palace is busy, the same Chunjing Palace is also busy, people from all palaces and halls have sent congratulatory gifts, even the King of Qi has a rare first time personally brought a reward to the door, driving to Chunjing Palace!

In the evening, Concubine Shu inevitably held a banquet in the Chunjing Palace to entertain everyone in the palace, except for the Jade Pearl who lost face yesterday, and the Jade Huaizhu who cultivated her heart behind closed doors in the Queen Mother's Palace, everyone else was all present, in front of King Qi, a harmonious appearance.

Although today's protagonist is Concubine Shuniang, she is cowardly by nature, shy and timid, and not good at socializing.

Moreover, tonight, I don't know if it was because of the presence of King Qi, Concubine Lian was unusually affectionate to Concubine Shu, and she also called on other concubines to keep toasting Concubine Shu, Yu Ruyan drank several glasses for her mother, and finally couldn't resist the drunkenness and got drunk.

Fortunately, Mu Lingzhi had already told her that Chen Yiqing was willing to keep him and let him stay in Chen Xiang's mansion tonight and would not return to the palace, so Yu Ruyan simply rested in the concubine's Chunjing Palace.

The weather was too hot, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, Brother An went back to Jinying Palace to get her a change of clothes, and the little girl in Chunjing Palace obediently served her sobering soup and fed her to drink.

After drinking the sobering drunken soup, Yu Ruyan's heart was very uncomfortable, her whole body was in pain, and there was a roar in her head, she didn't expect the stamina of this wine to be so great, and she couldn't wait for Brother An to take a change of clothes to bathe and change clothes, so she fell on the bed in a drowsy state.

Someone approached her and reached out to probe her face.

She thought it was Brother An who was back, and couldn't help muttering: "Brother An, I'll sleep first, and then get up to shower and change clothes later......"

The man heard her voice, but he ran out like a ghost, and when he ran out of the yard, he suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth, and turned back to the house and took the things on the table......

"What?" Listening to the words of the little girl trembling in front of her, Yu Mingzhu thought that she had heard it wrong, stood up from the chair with a snort, and rushed to the little girl kneeling in the middle of the room, her eyes were about to fall out, and she couldn't believe it: "The poison of the dove feather didn't poison her, how could it be?" ”

The poison of the dove feather, a drop can poison an elephant, let alone a small half bottle, how can it not poison a jade Ruyan!

The little girl kneeling on the ground was also stunned, and she put the medicine into the sobering soup with her own hands and fed Yu Ruyan to drink, but ...... But she's still alive!

Yu Mingzhu didn't want to believe the little girl's words at all, how could the poison of the world's most poisonous dove feather not poison that slut!?

She waited in the palace all night, and she wanted to hear the news of Yu Ruyan's death, but now she ......

Thinking that Yu Ruyan was not dead, she stepped forward in anger and kicked the little girl to the ground.

"Say, are you mistaken, or are you cowardly and didn't poison her decanting soup at all?"

Looking at her hideous and vicious appearance, the little palace maid was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a small celadon bowl from her sleeve, and there were soup stains on the wall and bottom of the bowl.

The little girl handed the bowl to Yu Mingzhu in fear, and said tremblingly: "Princess, slave maid...... The slave listened to your command and took the bowl out of the room as she left the room. If the princess doesn't believe it, she can feed the soup stains on it with water...... Feed it to the white cat in the yard, such a heavy amount, I believe that a little bit left on the wall of the bowl is also okay...... It's time to kill a white cat! ”

After listening to the little girl's words, Yu Mingzhu was so angry that she caught the white cat in the yard, poured water into the celadon bowl, and carefully melted the residue left in the water with a spoon and poured it into the mouth of the big white cat.

She stared nervously at the white cat on the ground, and for some reason, a chill rose in her heart!

The big white cat, which was still alive a moment ago, was poured into the residue for less than a moment, but it turned over its belly and died quietly!

With a 'click' sound, the porcelain bowl in the little girl's hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. But Yu Mingzhu looked at the big white cat on the ground with no breath as if she was stunned, and she stepped forward and kicked the white cat twice in disbelief, but she didn't react at all, she was already dead!

I couldn't hold back the panic in my heart anymore, Yu Mingzhu shook her head in disbelief, her eyes were full of horror, her legs were weak, and she fell to the ground!

How could it be, if she drank such a poisonous medicine, why didn't she die? Why!!

I thought that I would take advantage of today's banquet in Chunjing Palace, there were many people and miscellaneous things, so I quietly drugged Yu Ruyan and poisoned her to death in her own concubine's palace, so that no one would suspect her, even if Mu Lingzhi suspected her, he couldn't catch any evidence!

Ming tomorrow's seamless scheme, and Yu Ruyan is also certain to die, but in the end, ......

Yu Mingzhu sat on the ground stupidly, the fear in her heart made cold sweat appear on her forehead, the room was silent, and the dead white cat on the ground made the whole room exude a strange atmosphere.

After a long time, the door was suddenly pushed open, but Concubine Lian, who came back from Chunjing Palace, couldn't wait to come to the Peony Pavilion to hear the good news.

But when she pushed open the door and looked at the scene in the house, her face was slightly suffocated, and she wondered: "Is the thing done?" ”

The little girl trembled and didn't dare to answer, and Yu Mingzhu, who had been in a panic, heard Concubine Lian's voice, as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare, and threw herself in front of Concubine Lian with a panicked expression, and said tremblingly: "Mother, that slut...... The slut didn't die even if he drank the poison of the dove feather, I thought...... I think she must have been a goblin, or else...... Why else...... Why can't poison her! Mother, she's a monster, she's a monster turned ......"

"Nonsense!" Concubine Lian's face turned blue when she heard her words, and her whole body was also cold, but she still interrupted Yu Mingzhu's thoughts.

"I watched her crawl out of that's belly, how could it be a monster change. If it was a youkai, we treated her like that before, and we didn't see her retaliate! ”

But why did she drink the poison and not die? Why!! Yu Mingzhu listened to Concubine Lian's words and sobered up a little for half a minute, but she still couldn't understand the reason, and smashed things in the house with a crazy look.

After all, Concubine Lian is much older and spicy, after taking a few deep breaths, she slowly sat down on the table, and after pouring a sip of tea, her mind came to her senses, as if she had thought of something, her eyes dimmed, and she gritted her teeth and said with great reluctance: "It seems that the previous rumors of the jade girl are true-the jade girl whose blood can cure all kinds of poisons is actually the slut of Yu Ruyan!" ”

"What, she's ...... It's really a jade girl?! Concubine Lian's words seemed to knock down Jade Mingzhu, she didn't want to believe that the only and precious jade girl in the world in the rumors was actually Jade Ruyan!

"Yes, only a jade girl will drink the poison of the dove feather and not die, because she herself is poisonous!"

Concubine Lian's eyes were bleeding with hatred, and she didn't want to believe that the incomparably precious jade girl turned out to be the jade Ruyan she hated poison!

Listening to Concubine Lian's words, Yu Mingzhu stared, stood unsteadily again, and fell to the ground!

The house fell silent again!

Suddenly, the eyes of Yu Mingzhu, who had been sitting on the ground in a daze, flashed with cold light, and she suddenly got up, took a bulky jade ruyi on the Bogu shelf, and smashed it on the head of the little palace maid kneeling on the ground!

With a scream, the little palace maid was smashed to the point that her brain burst, and she lost her breath in an instant, and she was dying!

"You ......" Concubine Lian was taken aback by the sudden change, and looked at the little palace maid who fell to the ground in a daze, with a puzzled expression.

"Mother, the matter of the jade girl will be rotten in our stomachs forever, and we must not let our father, especially the Third Highness, know. Otherwise, otherwise, I will treat that slut as a treasure, and then, then, the pearl in my palm will really become her, and I will not be able to marry the Third Highness. ”

"What does the Third Highness have to do with the Jade Maiden?" When she was married before, Concubine Lian only knew that Da Liang clearly asked to marry the jade girl of Daqi, but she didn't know why Da Liang wanted a jade girl!

"Mother concubine, have you forgotten, eight years ago, King Liang and his father hunted together in Fengyang Mountain on the border of the two countries, at that time, an assassin assassinated King Liang, and was blocked by Xie Guifei of Liang, and since then, Xie Guifei has to suffer from poison every month, and His Royal Highness asked to marry a jade girl to use the blood of the jade girl to relieve the huge poison on his mother's concubine!"

Concubine Lian looked at her daughter in shock and said in surprise: "Where did you get this news?" ”

Yu Mingzhu smiled coldly and said, "Before, the daughter of the wood phase of the Great Liang quietly sent someone to sneak into the palace to find out the true identity of that slut, and I inadvertently appeared. ”

"That slut stayed with His Royal Highness in Daliang as a maidservant Xiaoqing, so I deliberately found out the real Xiaoqing from the thirty-six dowry maids waiting to be executed, and asked her to go back to Daliang with the people of Mufu to identify the identity of the slut. At that time, the people of Mufu also quietly inquired about the Jade Maiden in the palace, and under my inquiry, they told me the secrets in the Daliang Palace. ”

"Therefore, I must not let outsiders know that the slut is a precious jade girl, otherwise, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to marry into the Daliang Palace."

Yu Mingzhu gritted her teeth with hatred, but there was a burst of coldness in her heart, and she couldn't help crying.

On the other hand, Yu Ruyan didn't know that the bowl of decanting soup she had just drunk contained huge poison, and she didn't know that she had taken a trip from the ghost gate.

After waking up from drunkenness, she had a headache and couldn't help but go for a walk in the small garden next to the Spring Palace accompanied by Brother An.

Kankan walked to the moon gate in the garden, and suddenly a figure came out of the dark shadow on the side, wearing a cloak and unable to see his face, but stopped in front of Yu Ruyan.
