Chapter 68: All Reduced to Ashes
The queen and Concubine Su looked back at the second prince Xiao Jingyun at the same time, and Concubine Su spoke first.
"Jingyun is here."
After Xiao Jingyun bowed slightly to Concubine Su, he fell on Luo Yao, "This must be the princess newly married by the imperial uncle, Jingyun has seen the imperial aunt." ā
Luo Yao politely returned the salute.
The second prince, Xiao Jingyun, is dressed in a dark blue robe, with a slender figure, excellent appearance, and a handsome shadow of the emperor between his eyebrows, which is worthy of being a child of the royal family.
Thinking of this, her mind suddenly swept over the figure of the eldest prince Xiao Mufeng.
is also a descendant of the royal family, Xiao Mufeng has no shadow of the emperor at all, and he is the most mediocre of all the princes.
Is this a genetic mutation?
Children don't necessarily have to be like their fathers, and she didn't think much about it.
Since Xiao Jingyun came, the attention of the queen and Concubine Su shifted to him, and Luo Yao didn't have anything to say to them, so she was polite and blessed.
"The concubine retired first."
The queen and Concubine Su looked at her at the same time, and said at the same time, "Then you go first!" ā
Luo Yao glanced at the three of them and left without saying a word.
After walking out of the inner palace, Luo Yao's mind was still repeating the picture just now.
She always felt that it was a little strange for the three of them to be together just now, but she couldn't say what was strange.
Leaving the palace, she returned to the palace.
When passing through the back garden of the palace, several subordinates were burning the dead branches and leaves of the palace, planning to use the burned ashes as fertilizer to nourish the flowers and plants in the back garden.
This is a common trick for raising flowers by folk florists in the west, and it is very effective, and many experienced gardeners will do it.
Luo Yao took a few steps forward and saw Liu Yinyin sitting in the small pavilion again.
She was most annoyed by Liu Yinyin, so she pretended not to see Liu Yinyin and passed by.
Before he went far, he heard Liu Yinyin's voice coming from behind him.
"Peony, what can you do with this box for me?"
Peony stared at the box and said truthfully: "Miss didn't think that the ground in our yard was uneven a few days ago, so it would be better to use it to fill the pit in the yard." ā
"Your proposal is good, some ominous things are only worthy of tiptoeing and being trampled underfoot." Liu Yinyin said proudly.
The voices of the master and servant were extremely penetrating, and they all fell on Luo Yao's ears.
Knowing that Liu Yinyin's words were deliberately said to her, she stopped impatiently, she wanted to see what Liu Yinyin was going to be?
She turned around and looked up to see the wooden box that Liu Yinyin was holding in her hand.
Exactly the box left by the mother!
How could this box end up in Liu Yin's hands?
She didn't want to rush to the small pavilion, and looked at Liu Yinyin with a pair of angry eyes, "Give me back the box!" ā
Liu Yinyin looked at her in surprise, "Why is the princess here?" ā
Too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Yinyin, she repeated what she had just said again, "Give me back the box!" ā
Liu Yinyin put the box away, got up and explained: "This box was given to me by Brother Liwang, if the princess wants it, I will ask Brother Liwang to give you another one." ā
"It was mine." She swallowed her anger and took a deep breath.
"What else is the princess talking about, this is obviously given to me by Brother Wang, why did it become yours again?"
"This is the box left by my mother, you have seen it before, and it is less contained."
Liu Yinyin pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, opened her eyes and carefully looked at the box in her hand, "The princess misunderstood!" The box that Brother Wang gave me is different from the one you took last time, how can it be the same. ā
She deliberately used this box to anger Luo Yao today.
Even if it's the same, she won't admit it.
"Give it to me!" Luo Yao snorted coldly.
"This is something that Brother Liwang gave me, I can't give it to you."
Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan!
You took the wooden box and didn't give it back to me, just to use it to please your sweetheart.
Are you still human!
Luo Yao clenched her fists so hard that her gaze at Liu Yinyin was as sharp as a blade.
She walked up to Liu Yinyin coldly and stretched out her hand to Liu Yinyin, "Give it to me!" ā
Liu Yinyin hid the wooden box behind him, "Brother Li Wang has already given it to me, that is my thing, I can't give it to you." ā
"I'll say it again, give it to me!"
"The princess will not be ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Yao reached out and snatched the box.
Liu Yinyin held the wooden box and shook it from side to side, not planning to give the wooden box to Luo Yao.
The two scrambled back and forth, and Peony stood aside and watched, not knowing whether to step forward to help.
Seeing that Luo Yao was about to grab the wooden box and snatch it back, Liu Yinyin's mouth hooked up with a sly smile, and she threw the wooden box out.
The wooden box drew a slender parabola in the air, and it landed impartially in the pile of burning dead branches and leaves.
The flames that soared up instantly engulfed the wooden box, and the fire burned even brighter.
Luo Yao didn't care about settling accounts with Liu Yinyin, and hurriedly ran from the small pavilion to the fire, and as soon as she got close to the fire, a beam of flames scurried up in front of her.
She looked around, picked up a broom from the side, and used it to extinguish the flames.
But instead of being extinguished by her, the fire burned even more vigorously because of the wind brought out by the broom.
When the people on the side saw it, they all retreated in fright.
When she tried to extinguish the fire, she stood by the fire with a disgraced face, watching the wooden box in the fire, little by little turning to ashes in front of her.
Until all the dead branches and rotten leaves are burned, the fire is finally extinguished.
Luo Yao picked up the pitch-black ashes, holding the ashes of the wooden box with blank eyes.
This is the only thing left of Lan Qin!
Now, there's nothing left.
A fresh breeze swept past her, blowing away the ashes from her hands and her hopes.
She hung her arms coldly, her dress and face were stained with black ash, and she didn't bother to wipe it.
Liu Yinyin of the small pavilion saw it, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Oops! It's all because the princess has to come to grab it, but now it's okay, the box is burned. ā
She just did it on purpose!
Last time, because of this wooden box, she was thrown into the lotus pond by Luo Yao, and later she was bled by Luo Yao.
She hasn't forgotten this old account.
Today, she happened to see this wooden box in Xiao Yan's study, and she successfully got the wooden box from Xiao Yan by various means.
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, letting Luo Yao watch her cherished things turn into ashes, and watching Luo Yao's dejected appearance, the resentment in her heart finally disappeared.
Luo Yao turned around and glared at Liu Yinyin, her eyes bursting with a strong killing intent.
Liu Yinyin was frightened by her eyes, and stumbled to defend herself, "No, you can't blame me, you had to rob it, I, I didn't expect it to be like this." ā
"Really?"
When the words fell, Luo Yao was like a gust of wind that blew in front of Liu Yinyin in an instant, and raised her hand to choke her neck.
"If you ruin my mother's things, you don't want to live!"
"IāI really...... Not intentionally. ā
Peony's eyes were red, crying and kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, "Please let the princess let my young lady go!" ā
"Die!"
Luo Yao was just about to break Liu Yinyin's neck when a small pocket arrow stabbed her arm......
