C139 Xiangyi Left the Imperial Residence in the Middle of the Night
Xiangyi was in a daze. She returned to the courtyard and sat at the table in a daze.
Lingyue called out to her a few times but she did not react at all. Lingyue noticed her strange behavior and put down the work in her hands. She walked over and called out to her ears again, "Xiangyi!"
"Ah." Xiangyi was shocked and shrank her neck. She was a little angry," What are you doing! "
"I called you several times and you ignored me. What's wrong?" Lingyue saw that she was angry and knew her temper. She did not mind.
"Oh, it's nothing." Xiangyi's expression changed and there was a trace of guilt on her face. Her fingers were tightly woven under the table and she could not hide her nervousness.
"I don't know if the Princess has been found. I am so worried!" Lingyue saw Xiangyi's nervousness and the doubt in her heart deepened.
Lingyue's words gave Xiangyi a precautionary measure in her heart. After thinking for a while, a reassuring smile climbed up, "I hope I have found it!"
Lingyue's suspicion towards Xiangyi increased a little. Why are you still smiling after the wangfei disappeared for so many days? She looked at a stranger with the statue of a deity.
Xiangyi did not notice Lingyue's strange behavior and walked out with a smile. Lingyue stood up and stood at the door as she looked at Xiangyi's back. She pursed her lips and lowered her brows.
The moon slowly climbed up and shone on the snow that had yet to melt and emitted a cold light.
The weak candlelight gave off a little light in the dark night. When the white lotus came back from the kitchen, it always felt that its head was hot but its body was cold. Looking at it this way, it must have caught a cold.
"Cough cough..."
The weak cough was interrupted. Xiangyi suddenly came out from the dark and stood in front of the white lotus, which gave the white lotus a scare.
The white lotus calmed down. Its eyes were red because of the heat.
"You said that the Princess was looking for you. It was obviously a lie!" Xiangyi proudly stood in front of White Lotus like a warlike rooster.
"Miss, what are you saying?" The white lotus's expression did not change. The hand holding the lantern tightened. The slightly red candlelight shone on her face, covering the redness on her face.
"I am the personal maid of the Princess. Who the hell do you think you are? If the Princess came back, why didn't she tell Lingyue? Even if you suspect that I won't tell you, it won't be your turn." Xiangyi said it so firmly that her curved eyebrows seemed to be mocking her.
"Miss, do you think that the Princess would be that stupid? You and Lingyue are inseparable and have yet to let Lingyue know. What if she gets arrested again?"
Looking at the white lotus, Xiangyi actually felt a little guilty. "The Royal Highness is beside the Princess. Who can take away the Princess?"
"Who told Miss that his Royal Highness is travelling with the Princess?" The white lotus asked back. Under the illumination of the light, her round eyes flashed with a strange light.
Yes, she had never said that his Royal Highness was with the Princess. Her originally relaxed mood became tense again. She was even more nervous than before. She put down her hands in front of her abdomen and pinched the skirts on both sides.
"The Princess escaped with great difficulty. Why would she take the risk?" The lantern carried by the white lotus was lifted up and was just a few inches away from hitting Xiangyi's face.
She raised her right hand. "Bang." The lantern fell to the ground and the candle extinguished. Xiangyi looked at the lantern that she had knocked down. She raised her head with a slightly angry expression, "Your biggest wish is to become the Prince's side concubine. How can you help the Princess! If something happens to the Princess... The happiest is you!"
"If something happens to the Princess, then it won't be my turn to take the throne. His Royal Highness will definitely marry the daughter of another high official. At that time, I won't have a chance either. Now the Princess has promised me that she will carry me as a concubine. In that case, I might as well work for the Princess, because she can give me what I want. Could it be that the lady can't even think of this? "
" How smart is the Princess? What do you think you're taking advantage of? "
"How would I know if I don't try? I am quite familiar with the Princess now. If it were someone else, I might have lost my life. After all, the Royal Highness is so good. "
" Hehe, you are really naive. " Xiangyi could not find any flaws in her and felt an unspeakable grievance in her heart.
"Miss is the most naive. You are naive to think that you can control your own fate. What happened in the end?" The smile of the white lotus was more soundless than words. It stared at Xiangyi with its pair of eyes. "The Princess asked me to tell the lady that since the relationship between sisters can't move the lady... No matter what, the lady will care about her family, right? Calculating it, the lady has more than a dozen family members! "
Xiangyi was a little stunned and slightly opened her mouth to face the white lotus.
"The lady has served the Princess for many years and naturally knows the temper of the Princess. If the lady betrays the Princess, does she still want the Princess to give her a side?" The white lotus covered her mouth as her eyes could not stop smiling. You have today as well?
"Impossible..."
"Why is the lady still hoping for luck? Your family was killed by yourself, not the Princess!"
"Where is the Princess? I want to see her!"
"It's already too late!" White Lotus flung Xiangyi's hand away. She did not pick up the lantern that fell to the ground and directly stepped over, leaving Xiangyi with a proud back view.
Xiangyi stood where she was as if she had lost her backbone. In her mind appeared the chubby face of her newborn brother. She thought of another person and quickly perked up and left the Imperial Residence overnight.
Lingyue discovered that Xiangyi was not right and quietly followed. She hid in a hidden place and although she could not hear what the two of them were saying, Xiangyi still followed them out of the Imperial Residence.
Xiangyi looked left and right and did not find anyone. She directly climbed out of the remote wall. Lingyue was shocked. After being with Xiangyi for so long, she did not realize that Xiangyi knew martial arts!
Lingyue was originally Yu Longchen's person and she knew that there were powerful secret guards in the Imperial Residence. But Xiangyi easily went out. This proved that the secret guards were ordered to be released on purpose. And the only person who could mobilize the secret guards in the Imperial Residence was His Royal Highness, which meant that His Royal Highness had returned! Then did the Princess also come back?
Thinking about it, his heart was somewhat excited, but he still did not relax. After all, Lingyue was trained by Yu Longchen.
Along the way, she followed Xiangyi all the way to the Prime Minister's residence and watched helplessly as Xiangyi went in. Lingyue followed Xiangyi's route carefully. If she was discovered, it would be very difficult for her to escape.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. Xiangyi entered Mrs Miao's room. The lights in the room were turned off and candles were lit again. A faint light shone out of the room.
At this time, there was no one around and Lingyue was lying by the window listening to the corner of the wall.
She could not see the expressions of the two and could only hear their voices. Mrs Miao, who spoke first, could be heard.
"Why did you not take care of the Princess in the Imperial Residence and come back in the middle of the night? If you are discovered, your little life will not be worth much anymore!"
"I want to ask Madam, is this servant's family still here? Madam, are you able to protect my family?"
The conversation in the room paused for a moment before Mrs Miao's voice could be heard.
"I originally wanted to tell you tomorrow. Since you found them, then just say it. Your family went missing yesterday. There were more than a dozen of them, but not a single one was found."
"What!?"
Lingyue could hear Xiangyi's angry tone.
"Don't forget who you are!" This was Mrs Miao's angry rebuke.
"This servant knows her mistake. I hope that Madam can find this servant's family!"
"En, how is the wangfei recently?"
Stopping once again, Lingyue could imagine the surprised expressions on both of their faces. It was just that when she heard it, she was confused and wanted to poke through the window paper to see the expressions of the two. Before she straightened her back, her feet slipped a little...
"Who is outside!?"
Not good! He was discovered! Before Lingyue could retreat, she was hugged from the waist. Her hands were also wrapped around and she could not move at all. Her mouth was covered by a wide palm. Without making any sound, Lingyue did not have time to react. She was dragged away.
Xiangyi went out as fast as she could to check, but she did not find anything!
