All in all...
Suosuo...
In the quiet night, some sound was soft and dense, as if it was floating away from the scalp...
"Yue Zhu?" Liu Mingyue was in a daze, thinking that the maid was walking around outside keeping watch, so she called out, but no one responded.
"Yuezhu?"
Xixisuosuo——
Something sounds closer and closer.
She turned over in confusion. The candlelight outside the window dimly filtered in, and something cast a shadow in front of her, blocking the light.
Her eyelids subconsciously opened a crack, and she saw a blurry shadow of a person standing outside the window. The candlelight outlined the figure, and the person's face could not be seen clearly, but a pair of eyes that were so red that they bled were staring at her ferociously.
"ah!!"
Liu Mingyue was so frightened that her three souls lost her seven souls.
"Give me back my life..."
It’s Cui’er’s mother!
Cui'er's mother's neck was bruised with blood. She stretched out her hands to climb in through the window, "Give me my life...Give me my life..."
"Ah! Ah!!"
Liu Mingyue was so frightened that she screamed and touched something cold and crawling on her hand.
Pick it up and take a look.
A red, venomous snake was wrapped around her forearm.
"Ahh!!!"
"Concubine!"
"Oh my God!"
"snake!"
The throat-piercing scream broke the night of Prince Yu's Mansion. In the tranquility, it was like a huge stone smashing through the water, scaring away the wild cats in the corner.
When Chu Yuci heard the sound and rushed over, he saw Liu Mingyue hiding under the table, hugging the table legs tightly, her hair disheveled, her whole body shivering, her eyes blurred with fear, and she kept mumbling:
"It's not me... No, it's not me... Spare my life... Spare my life..."
"I didn't mean it...I didn't mean to kill you...Don't, don't come here..."
He stepped forward quickly, "Yue'er..."
"ah!!"
As soon as his palm touched her, she screamed like a frightened bird:
"Don't come to me!"
"Get away! Get away!"
"Yue'er!"
Chu Yuci held her shoulders and said, "Calm down, it's me, the king!"
Liu Mingyue was so frightened that she lost her soul. When she saw Chu Yuci, she cried and threw herself into his arms, trembling with fear:
"Ghost, there is a ghost...Brother Yuci, Cui'er's mother came to seek my life. I, I didn't kill her on purpose..."
Chu Yuci was shocked, and for a moment, it was like a blow to the head, and he looked at the person in his arms in disbelief.
"You...what did you say?"
Cui'er's mother's death was actually...
"Help me, help me..." She was so frightened that her lips trembled, and her rationality had already flown to the sky. At this moment, she hugged King Yu's waist tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, ruthlessly absorbing the sense of security.
"It's not me...don't, don't come here...don't come to me..."
She was trembling all over, her lips were pale, and she was losing her mind, as if she was going crazy.
Chu Yuci only felt something snap in his head, shattered and never recovered.
Certain sounds suddenly echoed in my ears:
——'Brother Yuci, Yue'er can't even bear to trample an ant to death, how can it be possible to kill someone? '
——'Yue'er doesn't want the position of princess, she just wants to stay with brother Yuci, and please ask sister princess not to frame me again. '
——'The blood stains on my skirt were from when I came to Kwai Shui. '
The woman's gentle, smiling face slowly merged with the pale, frightened face in front of her.
One is gentle, the other is ferocious.
They are completely different!
Yuezhu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine was bitten by a poisonous snake. At this time, I am afraid that she is suffering from poisonous dementia and is talking nonsense. You can't believe what she said!"
When Chu Yuci came back to his senses, he saw two black blood holes bleeding on Liu Mingyue's slender wrist.
His eyes darkened severely.
He immediately picked her up and strode towards the bed, "Where is the doctor?"
What happened in Mingyue Pavilion attracted the attention of the entire government, and many servants gathered around, all of them confused and unaware of the details.
What happened?
What was that scream just now?
Jing Yi and Feng Xing led people to surround Mingyue Pavilion, carefully searching the corners of the flowers and treetops, and soon caught a bright red venomous snake from the cracks in the rocks.
When Jing Yun saw the snake, he stared in disbelief:
"Why did this snake appear in..."
How can this be? !
The snake she released with her own hands...
Lengyuan is some distance away from Mingyue Pavilion. How could this snake bite Sister Mingyue?
When Chu Yuci saw the snake, his face turned extremely ugly, and he squeezed out a sinister word between his teeth: "Check!"
Yesterday, there were dead snakes all over the cold courtyard.
Today, a poisonous snake appeared in Mingyue Pavilion.
Definitely man-made.
Realgar is sprinkled all over the walls and walls of the palace. Snakes are most afraid of realgar. They will crawl away when they smell the smell, making it impossible for them to crawl into the palace.
Tonight, even if Prince Yu's mansion is turned upside down, we still have to find the person who released the snake!
After giving the order, Feng Xing immediately went to investigate. The servants stood far away, feeling panic.
The appearance of this snake is so strange!
Jing Yun was secretly frightened, and he carefully glanced into the room. The government doctor was treating Liu Mingyue. He didn't know what the situation was at the moment. The whole government was conducting a strict investigation, and everyone was waiting for orders.
Look at this posture, I'm afraid they won't give up until the person who released the snake is found.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly said:
"Why isn't the princess here?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other. Looking around, no one from Lengyuan came.
"I heard from the housekeeper that the princess brought back a few people from outside the mansion today. I don't know what their identities are and whether they are any danger. Why did something like this happen as soon as she entered the mansion..."
Jingyun whispered, his voice getting quieter and quieter, but the unfinished words after it were enough to arouse people's imagination.
The day before yesterday, when the princess returned from the epidemic area, she was surprised to find dead snakes on the ground in the cold courtyard.
Today, when I brought outsiders back to my home, another poisonous snake appeared in Mingyue Pavilion.
Who would believe it if there was no connection?
What if the people from outside the palace that the princess brought back were murderers with unknown origins and dangerous identities?
Chu Yuci pursed her thin lips and said, "Come, please inform the princess."
After about a quarter of an hour.
Ye Jinxiao was wearing a coat, yawning, and walked over confidently, "Ah~~ What did you call me for so late at night?"
After yawning, the corners of his eyes were wet with water splashes, his hair was a little messy, and he looked like he had just climbed out of bed.
When Chu Yuci saw her, his face turned ugly instantly.
Wearing only obscene clothes and pants and a coat, you just came out like this?
"Put on your clothes!"
With so many servants and guards watching here, she is Princess Yu, not a brothel girl.
Ye Jinxiao smiled coldly. Her clothes were intact, even her ankles were not exposed. Why wasn't she dressed properly?
She was sleeping soundly and woke her up. Before she could get angry, he scolded her first.
Talking to such an old antique is beyond the reach of the century.
"Why did you call me here?"
Chu Yuci pursed his lips tightly, "A poisonous snake suddenly appeared in Mingyue Pavilion, and Liu Mingyue was bitten."
"So? What are you asking me to do? She's dead? Are you asking me to eat?"
"you!"
Chu Yuci choked.
There may be objections to Cui'er's mother's death... He wanted to find an opportunity to mention it to her again and send someone to investigate again, but she choked him as soon as she came.
Can't she talk properly?
"This venomous snake came out of nowhere. Everyone in the house must be subject to strict investigation. I heard from the housekeeper that you brought eight outsiders back today?"
Ye Jinxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"
Anyone who doubts her is the same as doubting her.
"You want to say that I released the snake?"
Before Chu Yuci could speak, Jing Yun beside him said softly: "The prince is just investigating according to the law and has no other intentions. Why is the princess so anxious? Could it be...feeling guilty?"
