C357 Relief
Yun Xi felt a little strange when the people around her were sent away. At this moment, Mu Ruqing couldn't possibly look at her anymore, and Yu Longchen didn't need to think about it anymore.
Who else could it be? Seeing the person, Yun Xi was still puzzled. She had an impression of this old man but she could not remember if she had seen him before.
"Don't remember this old man? Princess." The old man did not bow and had a teasing look on his face.
"Who are you?" Yun Xi was alert and took a step back.
"What are you afraid of me for? I will not eat people." The old man sat down and did not take Yun Xi's actions seriously.
"Who are you?"
"Patriarch of the Meng Family."
"Impossible. I've seen the Patriarch of the Meng Clan before. He's in his prime."
"You saw my son." The old man's smile was gentle, but it was terrifying in Yun Xi's eyes.
Squinting her pupils, Yun Xi was somewhat panicky, "Didn't you get killed by me, Royal Mother?"
"A woman, I don't even put her in my eyes." The old man did not treat Mu Ruqing kindly, "I really don't understand why Qing still keep you."
"This is Dayong, what do you want to do!"
"I came to see you, your good brother is going to make a move on the Meng Clan."
"The Meng Clan has done a great job, you can't blame me for that."
"Then what about the matter of you, Royal Mother, harming my clan's children?" The old man heavily put down the blanket. "You, Royal Mother, are dead. The rest of the debts should also be paid back by you!"
"Big Brother is the Crown Prince. You have no right and no duty. How can you defeat him? Stop dreaming!"
Looking at Yun Xi's crazy look, the old man was very quiet. It seemed that she had suffered quite a bit of stimulation after marrying into the Imperial Residence.
The purpose of the old man's visit was to observe whether he could take Yun Xi away from the Imperial Residence. Now, it seemed that it was somewhat impossible. He got up and walked out. When he crossed the threshold, he did not turn his head and calmly said, "This old man did not think that King Chu would fall in love with a woman like a snake or scorpion."
"He loves me! It was only because of Mu Ruqing! That's why I forgot!" Yun Xi had a slight breakdown. All her love and hate rushed up to her. No matter what she did or did, Yu Longchen still returned to Mu Ruqing's side in the end.
In the end, the one who was covered in injuries was herself.
Yun Xi's eyes slowly became firm. Since you have destroyed me, then I will use my life to destroy you - Mu Ruqing.
She no longer had the desire to live. Yun Xi was staking everything on this. As long as she could make Mu Ruqing accompany her to death, no matter what, it would be worth it.
When Zhi-er received the order to return, she was just about to investigate like this. Who was the person who came and what he looked like when she saw Yun Xi's ferocious face.
She thought about Consort Long's orders again. She had been in King Chu's Mansion for so long. This Yun Xi did not even touch a finger of Mu Ruqing and in her heart, she felt that Yun Xi was useless. His tone was disrespectful, "Lateral Consort Yun must hurry up. Consort Long is pressing on."
Yun Xi looked sideways and stared at her.
"Why is Lateral Consort Yun looking at me like this?" Zhi-er did not like it and raised her eyebrows with reproach. "Consort Long believes in the concubine and gave her a lot of convenience. In the end, what did the concubine give Your Ladyship? Instead, she was disliked by the Royal Highness and left in the courtyard. I don't care whether you live or die. Yun Meng's princess, is that all she can do?"
At first, Zhi-er was still worried about her, but now, she became bolder and bolder. She directly sat in front of Yun Xi's dressing table and fiddled with Yun Xi's jewelry. With a face full of enjoyment, she said, "Imperial Concubine, don't think that someone will speak up for you. Now you are in the Imperial Residence. Your life is worse than a servant's."
"If you like those things, I will give them to you." Yun Xi looked at Zhi-er blankly and compromised.
Zhi-er was rather pleased with herself. All of you who look high and mighty were only so-so. "Then I will thank the Imperial Concubine." As she spoke, she placed all the beautiful and precious jewelry on herself.
"Then can you accompany me out for a walk?" Yun Xi asked as she looked sideways.
Even though Zhi-er did not want to, she remembered that she was still the mistress in name and gave her so many things so there was no harm in accompanying her for a walk.
She walked in front of Yun Xi with large strides and had an arrogant appearance. On the contrary, she looked like Mistress and Yun Xi was servant girl.
It was autumn and the leaves were yellow. Scattered and scattered on the surface of the lake, a breeze passed by and carried a chill.
There were two large lotus ponds in the Imperial Residence. One was where Yun Xi fell into the water before. The water at the edge was not deep and the other was here. It was in a stone column.
The depth of the pond could not be seen.
"What is the concubine doing here?" Zhi-er did not understand. Looking at Yun Xi's appearance, she was unhappy in her heart.
"After killing people, there must be a place to dump corpses." Yun Xi turned her head to look at Zhi-er.
Zhi-er's eyes widened and her heart was somewhat fearful, "Why did Lateral Consort Yun point it out?"
"Zhi-er, there are thousands of ways to kill people. I just like to see people struggling in the water. The more hopeless the struggle, the more powerful it is." Yun Xi stared at Zhi-er and walked close to her. " In the water, every cry for help would only speed up his own death. So, Zhi-er, you can't scream later. "
Zhi-er was still in shock when Yun Xi grabbed her neck and pressed her entire body against the railing. The part above her waist was outside the railing.
Zhi-er no longer had any thoughts and only had the instinct to live as she grabbed Yun Xi's wrist.
Yun Xi was ruthless and only had pleasure. She exerted force again and pushed Zhi-er into the lake.
Zhi-er's neck was pinched by her and was already lacking oxygen. She fell into the lake and choked a few large mouthfuls of saliva. She did not know how to water and struggled for a moment in the lake before losing all sound.
Only then did Yun Xi feel comfortable. She thought of Mu Ruqing begging her for mercy. Her heart felt a burst of pleasure. I can't have a child, what right do you have to have one? If I don't have Yu Longchen's love, what right do you have to obtain his love? Since it's painful, why don't I help you free yourself?
- - - -the dividing line.
The old man went back and said a few more words to the two of them before leaving the Imperial Residence. He didn't know where he had gone.
"Lingyue, go and see Lateral Consort Yun and see how she will react." Mu Ruqing was still a little worried.
"Look at what she is doing." Yu Longchen did not want to hear any more news about Yun Xi. "She can do whatever she wants. King Chu's Mansion has never mistreated her."
"Are you sure?" Mu Ruqing was like a rare treasure.
Yu Longchen was a little helpless. He gently knocked her on the head. "I will think about all the things I have in a day."
"Then what do you want me to think about? As a woman, what she cares about the most is who her husband thinks and who he misses."
" It's you, it's you, it's you! " Yu Longchen looked like he doted on her. He really wanted to bite her. He wanted to see if she was still talking nonsense.
"I know. There's no need to say it so many times." Mu Ruqing proudly raised her eyebrows at him.
After the meal.
Yun Xi came to the door and invited Mu Ruqing to see her. Since he wanted to kill her, he had to get close to her first.
What Yun Xi wanted to do the most now was to kill Mu Ruqing regardless of the consequences.
"No! Ask her to scram back." This was what Yu Longchen said.
Mu Ruqing saw his cool look and wished she could smack him on the face. It was just that it was inconvenient to move now...
Yun Xi returned in disappointment.
The next day, Zhi-er's corpse was discovered. It was swollen from the bath. Its back was facing upwards and it floated in the lake. servant girl, who had discovered it, thought that it was a piece of clothing. It seemed that the material was quite good. She wanted to scoop it up and take a look. She used the bamboo pole to lift it a few times. Zhi-er turned over and her eyes were wide open.
It scared servant girl half to death.
At the same time, Yun Xi was discovered by servant girl who was waiting on her and hung in her room.
