Chapter 78: Plan 2 is powerless?

Is the hatred for Concubine Zheng due to the last Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?

While he was still thinking, a force pushed him from behind.

His body instantly lost balance, his center of gravity tilted backwards, and he fell backwards involuntarily. Then, Wen Wanyu was caught off guard and fell into the Thousand Carp Pond with a "plop".

Suddenly, huge ripples appeared on the tranquil lake.

The water splashes and ripples.

As the water flowed across her face, she could still hear Lin Fenyi's fake, panicked cry, "Jieyu Ling, Jieyu Ling."

Wen Wanyu can swim, but she has to pretend that she can't. She deliberately slaps the surface of the lake with her hands, making herself sink and float up again.

In order to act more realistically, I shouted several times, "Help, help!"

Calculating that the time was almost up, she stopped struggling and dived underwater to hold her breath.

Lin Fenyi stared intently at the lake, which was still. She let out a terrifying smile.

Siyun stared at his shaking hands and muttered to himself, "I, I killed someone. I killed someone."

Lin Fenyi glanced at her and said, "Idiot."

The moment Siyun looked up, he was hit hard on the head, and a dull sound of impact echoed in the air.

Wen Wanyu's heart trembled under the water.

Siyun widened her eyes in horror, and then collapsed to the ground.

He soon ran out of breath.

Those eyes were filled with pain and resentment, as if accusing someone of cruelty and injustice. [P.S. Just a reminder: Siyun isn't dead yet, she's just pretending.]

Lin Fenyi's eyes suddenly became happy.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, clearly a smile, but one could clearly feel a terrifying chill.

She clapped her hands in disgust.

"Jieyu Ling had a bad temper. She would either beat or scold her servants. Siyun couldn't stand it and pushed Jieyu Ling into the water. She committed suicide out of fear." The voice became smaller as the distance got farther, as if Lin Fenyi was speaking to herself.

Fortunately, she had learned to hold her breath before. Wen Wanyu swam to the lakeside, took a deep breath of fresh air, and trudged ashore.

Siyun fell not far from her.

The pupils trembled violently.

He rushed over and hugged Siyun into his arms. He checked her breathing and found it was very weak. "Siyun, Siyun."

Siyun moved her lips: "Master, fortunately you are okay."

"My dear, I'm sorry..."

"Let me do one last thing for you."

"What?" Wen Wanyu asked subconsciously. Her vision gradually blurred and she saw Siyun take out a jade bracelet from her arms.

Wen Wanyu's hands began to tremble imperceptibly.

Before the jade bracelet could reach her hand, Siyun's hand dropped down.

Siyun closed her eyes. The man she had lived with for more than half a year died right in front of her. It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared. Wen Wanyu held Siyun's hand tightly and said bitterly, "Siyun, thank you."

Wen Wanyu held the jade bracelet in her palm.

He picked up a stone from the ground, gritted his teeth, and smashed it against his forehead. After all, he was scared, so the stone was only superficially injured.

Then he fell beside Siyun.

Since Lin Fenyi wanted others to see that Wen Wanyu had a bad temper and treated her servants with either beatings or scolding, and her methods were cruel, Siyun could not bear it and pushed her into the water, and it was Siyun who killed her. Siyun, out of fear, committed suicide.

Then she would play out another drama - Lin Fenyi was jealous of Concubine Ling, had evil intentions, and rebelled against her superiors. She wanted to drown Concubine Ling, but was saved by her maid. Fearing that the plot would be exposed, Lin Fenyi killed her to silence her.

There were footsteps all around.

"My lady, my lady."

"Wanwan, Wen Wanyu."

Then, she heard the anxious cries of Cheng Shuyi and Bai Su. She curled her lips and closed her eyes.

Midnight

The lights in Chengqian Palace were turned off.

Li Dexian, however, paced anxiously outside the door. Finally, he made up his mind and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not good."

"Chang Lixuan, Concubine Ling..."

Hearing these words, Xie Junyao opened his eyes immediately, but subconsciously wanted to escape. He said impatiently, "Didn't I say that I don't want to know about her?"

Li Dexian was so anxious that he turned around and around, "No, Your Majesty."

"Someone just reported that Concubine Ling fell into the water and was hit hard. I'm afraid..."

Xie Junyao suddenly sat up from the bed: "What are you afraid of?"

Li Dexian said, "I'm afraid it won't work!"

The Emperor didn't want to hear anything about Chang Lixuan's Concubine Ling. She was fine just a few days ago, but she didn't hesitate to go against the Queen Mother for Concubine Ling. But the Emperor seemed to be at odds with Concubine Ling again.

Falling into the water? I'm afraid it won't work. I'm afraid it won't work. Xie Junyao's brows furrowed, his throat dry, as if strangled by an invisible hand, unable to breathe.

My mind is in a mess and my thoughts are disordered.

He got off the couch without even putting on his boots, staggering and unable to steady himself, as if he would fall down at any moment.

Her underwear hung loosely on her body.

Xie Junyao opened the door and said sternly, "It's not going to work, it's not going to work. What's not going to work? Think about it for me before you speak."

At this moment, his heart was beating like a drum, as if it would burst out of his chest at any moment. This was a feeling he had never experienced in more than twenty years.

This was the first time he was so afraid of losing someone.

My lips were dry, my tongue seemed to be stuck to the roof of my mouth, and I couldn't speak.

Li Dexian was scolded severely. When he looked up, he saw that the emperor had walked a long way away wearing only his underwear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please put on your outer robe."

Li Dexian cried out "Ouch!", entered the room, quickly tore off the emperor's outer robe, and ran away: "Your Majesty, wait for this servant, Your Majesty——"

Li Dexian's legs seemed to be flying, but he still couldn't catch up with the emperor.

There were many people standing outside Changlixuan.

When Xie Junyao arrived, he happened to hear the imperial physician's reply, "Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence. Concubine Ling was seriously injured after drowning. There is no way to save her."

When he heard this, his head buzzed.

Cheng Shuyi glanced at the emperor, covered her eyes with her hands, and burst into tears: "Imperial Physician, please take another look, please take another look."

Xie Junyao's body was shaking uncontrollably. He walked forward and angrily said, "Nonsense."

He grabbed the imperial physician's collar and entered the palace. The imperial physician did not dare to struggle and could only be pulled by him. He looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you..."

Seeing Xie Junyao carrying the imperial physician like a chicken, Cheng Shuyi grabbed his thigh and finally controlled her laughter.

Xie Junyao pushed the imperial physician aside and said, "Go and see. Go get acupuncture and get medicine. Anyway, I don't want to hear these words."

Many years later

Yin Yang Qi Qi Wan (_): "Didn't I say I don't want to know about her?"

Kneel down and admit my mistake. Thank you (﹏): I was wrong.
