C81 Death
The weather was getting colder and colder. Mu Ruqing was too lazy to go out and hid in her small courtyard all day long. "
"Qing." Miao Yingyu wore a white embroidered skirt with a hundred patterns on it, and a light blue silver willow leaf hairpin was inserted into her bun. Her entire outfit made her originally cute look even more charming.
"You are here." Mu Ruqing laid on the stone table in the pavilion and slightly raised her head with her eyes bent.
"Yuan Zhen helped me look at a courtyard. Today I have to go and take a look. I have nothing to do all day. You are also annoyed. Let's go together." Miao Yingyu stood on the small path and waved her hand.
"Okay." Mu Ruqing flicked her sleeves and got up. When she walked, the golden steps on her head started to ring.
Just as the two of them walked to the door of the courtyard, Yuan Zhen jogged over. He held a pink lotus cape in his hand and there was a white lotus embroidered on the tail of the cape. A few green leaves surrounded them. He saw Mu Ruqing and handed it to her. He was too embarrassed to touch his nose. He said awkwardly, "This was given to me by a friend a few days ago. It's not suitable for me. I'll transfer it to you."
"What friend would give you this kind of gift? Lies don't go through your brain" Miao Yingyu narrowed her eyes and exposed him from the side. Her tone was filled with ridicule.
"Thank you, but I have a lot of big sisters." Mu Ruqing thanked him. She originally wanted to reject but was afraid that he would be too sad. She turned her head and said to Xiangyi, "Take it."
Yuan Zhen was in a very bad mood. He was afraid that she would not take it, but now he relaxed. He turned around and walked in front of her, smiling quietly.
Xiangyi held the cloak. She felt very unhappy in her heart. She stared at the cloak and could not move her eyes. How good would it be if it was given to me?
Lingyue saw that she was in a daze and called out to her a few times before she recovered her senses.
Miao Yingyu looked at the courtyard that was not far from the Prime Minister's residence and arrived not long after. The courtyard was about the same size as Mu Ruqing's but there was no small garden. As soon as they entered, there were green bamboos and a few trees planted in front of the house.
Mu Ruqing walked around with the two of them and could not bear to part with Miao Yingyu. She asked again, "Do you really want to move it out?"
"En, although this place is small, it is still a home after buying it. Moreover, living in the Prime Minister's residence was not convenient. Secondly, although you treat me very well, prime minister and Madam are also very good. However, you are still living under someone else's roof, not as comfortable as your own home." Miao Yingyu walked around in a circle and was both reluctant and happy.
"Yes, I know. Fortunately, it is not far. I can come and find you." Mu Ruqing nodded. If it was said that she was living under someone else's roof, she could be considered as well. It was just that no one knew.
"Let's go. I will bring you to see my room." Miao Yingyu happily pulled Mu Ruqing and left Yuan Zhen alone outside. It was not convenient for him to enter the female bedroom.
Yuan Zhen was alone in the small courtyard with the tree bark on it. This Miao Yingyu was really redundant. He did not know how long she had occupied Mu Ruqing's time. It was time to slowly count it back.
He also did not know what the two of them were talking about. Yuan Zhen waited outside for an hour. He touched here and there. He squatted there, looking bored.
Finally, when the two of them walked out with a smile, Yuan Zhen pretended to be angry and pouted, not saying anything.
"Yo, angry?" Miao Yingyu covered her face and smiled brightly. "It's all our fault that we forgot you are not a woman."
"Even if you are not, I can still go in." Yuan Zhen raised his head and said, as if he wanted to go in.
"Please!" Miao Yingyu took a step back and pointed at him with her right hand.
Yuan Zhen took a few steps forward and took a turn back. He looked up and snorted disdainfully. "Let's go. It took a lot of effort to find this yard for you. Go and pay for the land deed."
"I don't need you to tell me." Miao Yingyu had never admitted defeat to Yuan Zhen. She replied disdainfully.
Mu Ruqing looked at the two people who were playing around and actually felt that the two of them were very happy. They were truly a pair of enemies.
Just as she left the house, she met a little old man who brought Yu Longchen over.
Yuan Zhen naturally did not like it. He also did not bow and just stood there straight. Mu Ruqing and the others bowed and did not say anything else.
How long had it been since they last saw Yu Longchen? It had been four or five months. I didn't expect to see him again in such a situation. He felt a little sad. He raised his head to look at him and saw the strange look in his eyes.
Miao Yingyu was the first to break the awkwardness, "May I know what brings Your Highness here?"
"Oh, this king wants to see a small courtyard. I let servant girl stay in the residence. Only now did I know that Miss Miao has already taken a liking to this courtyard." Yu Longchen smiled generously. His right hand was placed in front of his abdomen, and his left hand was naturally perpendicular. He was indeed a member of the royal family. He had an imposing manner.
"What's wrong? servant girl has so many that she can't take it anymore? Chase them out!" Yuan Zhen answered first, his face full of disdain and sarcasm. Miao Yingyu pinched him and Yuan Zhen felt pain. He said unhappily, "Why pinch me?"
Yu Longchen smiled but did not speak, and did not speak to him.
The few of them became embarrassed again. When the little old man saw them like this, he went forward and flattered, "Miss Miao, do you like this courtyard?"
"Yes, I was just about to look for you." Miao Yingyu smiled politely and took out a bag of heavy silver.
The little old man looked at Yu Longchen and did not dare to take the money.
"Since Miss Miao likes it first, then bring This King to see the other courtyards." Yu Longchen casually said. A gentleman is a beauty.
"Of course." The little old man took the silver with a smile and weighed it in his hand. After doing this business for so many years, he knew how much silver he had. He smiled with satisfaction and passed the land deed to Miao Yingyu. He then led Yu Longchen to another place.
"Qing, don't bother with that kind of person." Yuan Zhen was afraid that Mu Ruqing would be sad, so he made a funny face to tease her.
Mu Ruqing and Miao Yingyu looked at each other and smiled happily, "You think too much. If you want to call me sister, how many times do you want me to say it?"
"You are only a few days older than me, do you have the face?" Seeing her smile, Yuan Zhen also smiled and did not forget to reply.
Yu Longchen stood in the dark and watched them leave as they played. His breathing became rough, and he clenched his fist tightly. His fist landed on the wall beside him, leaving behind a fist imprint. His eyes were blurry. Was it really that he didn't care?
Mu Ruqing's heart jumped. She turned her head but saw nothing. She looked back and lowered her eyebrows. Yu Longchen, it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
Li Residence. Lee Yuening was lying on the bed. She had not recovered from her illness for such a long time. Seeing that the date of her wedding was about to arrive, her heart became more and more agitated.
Servant girl held the medicine bowl and nervously walked to the front of the bed. She respectfully asked, "Miss, can you take medicine?"
"Come here!" Lee Yuening's heart was filled with righteousness and it was just the right time to use her to vent her anger.
Servant girl put down the medicine and shifted her small steps onto the ground. She directly knelt down and her fingers could not help but tremble, "Miss."
"Come over! Will I eat you?" Lee Yuening shouted and reached out to pull out the thin needle from under the pillow. She shook her hand tightly.
Servant girl knelt down and moved a few more steps. Her shoulders trembled slightly and she gritted her teeth.
Lee Yuening's hand fiercely fell down and the thin needle pierced straight into servant girl's shoulder, leaving only a head in her hand so that she could pull it out.
"Ah!" servant girl's shoulder was in so much pain that it became shorter. Her eyes were already red.
"You are still shouting? I told you to scream! I told you to scream!" Lee Yuening's eyes were fierce and fierce. Her hands quickly rose and fell.
Servant girl bit the skin of her mouth and the bloody smell in the empty cavity spread. The skin of her mouth was torn and she could not help but lie on the ground and cry, "Miss, this servant was wrong. Miss, please spare me. Wuwuwu, this servant was wrong."
" Get lost! " The death qi in Lee Yuening's heart was about to dissipate and she threw the bloody needle under the bed. Seeing the blood red clothes on servant girl's shoulder, she felt comfortable in her heart.
Servant girl covered her shoulder and ran out crying.
A black shadow flashed across the room and the door was closed.
"Who is it?!" Lee Yuening was shocked. She lifted a corner of the veil and saw Yu Longchen with his hands behind his back and looking at her coldly.
Lee Yuening was delighted in her heart and used her hands to prop herself up. "Brother Chen, can't wait to see me?"
Yu Longchen did not say anything and looked at her with a charming smile. He paused for a moment and quickly left the room.
Lee Yuening wanted to keep him, so she crossed the edge of the bed and placed her upper body by the side of the bed. Yu Longchen left like a dream...
The next day, bad news came from the Li Residence. Lee Yuening died of illness.
