Chapter 35 She's Dead
"Miss, have a cup of ginger tea to warm yourself up. His Highness has been in there for so long, he will definitely find the young marquis."
Xiaoying walked over to her with ginger tea.
Qiao Yihuan held the hot water bottle and looked in the direction where He Zhiyu left, feeling a little worried.
"I hope Qi Yun can come back safely. After falling from such a high place, I..."
Qiao Yihuan hesitated to speak, her voice choked.
After a pause, she continued, "I don't know how Wanyan is doing. She was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff. If she really met with an accident, how can I explain to my father and mother?"
A tear fell from Qiao Yihuan's almond-shaped eyes. She didn't wipe it away. She just looked into the distance with a worried look on her face.
The guards who were left behind by the prince to protect Qiao Yihuan's safety were filled with emotion.
Miss Qiao is such a kind and gentle person.
It’s a pity that she is not the Shangshu’s legitimate daughter. If she were, I’m afraid the Queen Mother would definitely not stop His Highness from proposing marriage many times.
In their eyes, those who have never been crown princes do not know the importance of a royal marriage.
Miss Qiao is the wife that all men dream of. She is generous, kind, and beautiful. She will definitely be a good wife and mother. She will also manage the backyard in an orderly manner and will not compete with the concubine for favor.
"Your Highness Prince Jing?" Xiaoying turned around in shock, somewhat surprised to see him here.
Qiao Yihuan turned around, the tears on her face still clearly visible. Her sparkling almond eyes were hazy and moist, like flowers swaying in the wind and rain.
He Yanli sat on his horse, looking at her with a disdainful gaze, "Where has the prince gone?"
Qiao Yihuan understood that Prince Jing had come all the way here, so he must have something important to discuss with the Crown Prince.
But why does he know this place?
strangeness!
Could it be that he heard that Qiao Wanyan fell off the cliff?
Isn't it known throughout the capital that he hates Qiao Wanyan?
Qiao Yihuan's voice was weak and harmless, "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Jing here?"
He Yanli's eyes flashed with impatience, "What does it have to do with you?"
Just answer whatever you are asked. Why are you talking so much?
Qiao Yihuan's face froze, and Xiaoying immediately came to the rescue, "Your Majesty, my young lady is just asking a few more questions out of concern, why do you have to bully my young lady like this?"
Mo Xiao drew out the long sword in his hand and dropped it on Xiaoying's neck. "How dare you! Don't you want to live?"
Xiaoying took a breath of cold air and dared not move.
Qiao Yihuan was also frightened. Although she knew that King Jing was a ruthless and heartless man, she had never thought it would be like this.
Even the people around him are so fierce.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is heading north."
He Yanli withdrew his gaze, kicked his horse's belly and was about to rush in that direction, but suddenly he saw a black-tailed boy riding a horse coming out from the north.
He Yanli narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed to be a dog beside Qiao Wanyan.
I don't know where she got such a pretty boy.
Lu Jinye still had that cold and indifferent face, showing no interest in anyone. He would just walk away without even looking at anyone.
Qiao Yihuan asked quickly, "Are you the young man next to sister Wanyan? Have you found Wanyan?"
Lu Jinye reined in his horse and stopped beside her. He lowered his eyes to admire her undisguised expression of worry, as if he was extremely concerned about the plight of her loved ones.
He rarely spoke, "What if I find it? What if I don't find it?"
Qiao Yihuan didn't know what was wrong. In the past, those men always spoke to her in a friendly manner, but why were they all speaking so harshly to her now, making her embarrassed?
She once had the same dream for a month.
The dream said that although I could not get the love of my family, I would get the love of many outstanding men.
You will get their protection, their dedication, and their purest love.
Later, she found that reality was exactly as she had said in her dream.
The prince and young marquis, whom she should have never met in her life, liked her, and even the sons of aristocratic families were kind to her.
Qiao Yihuan covered his chest and said, "If I find it, I will be relieved and happy for the time being."
Lu Jinye sneered, and there was no warmth in his smile, but instead it was extremely obvious mockery.
Xiaoying immediately walked to Qiao Yihuan's side after she got the news of safety, and took her arm, "What are you laughing at? My young lady is kind-hearted, so she naturally hopes to find the second young lady the most."
Lu Jinye said, "Really? But wasn't it your young lady who pushed Qiao Wanyan out and caused her to be hit by a barbed arrow?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yihuan's face changed suddenly.
He Yanli frowned and said in a sinister and frightening voice, "What did you say?"
Lu Jinye stopped talking, kicked the horse's belly and was about to leave.
Mo Xiao immediately stepped forward, but saw that Lu Jinye had no intention of stopping, so he swung his sword and tried to stop him by force.
Lu Jinye was not afraid at all, "Your Majesty, don't you understand? I seem to be speaking human language, not animal language, right?"
"presumptuous!"
Mo Xiao stabbed at him with a sword. Lu Jinye jumped up and landed steadily on the ground, and drew out the long sword from his waist in an instant.
The moment the swords intersected, a crisp sound was heard.
After a moment, a bloody mark was left on Mo Xiao's arm, and he was clearly at a disadvantage.
"That's enough." He Yanli said coldly.
Lu Jinye swung his sword, and the blood stains on the sword were immediately wiped off.
He was about to put away his sword and leave, but the next second a group of black-robed guards behind He Yanli stepped forward and blocked his way.
Lu Jinye glanced at He Yanli.
"Qiao Wanyan is dead?"
Lu Jinye said: "Dead."
Qiao Yihuan was stunned for a moment, and the heart that was hanging in the air felt relieved a little.
He Yanli's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, like the frost and snow that had been frozen in the Far North for a thousand years, so cold that it made people tremble in their hearts.
Lu Jinye added, "But not now."
She would only be considered dead after he got the antidote and killed that woman Qiao Wanyan.
Qiao Yihuan frowned, "Wan Yan is not dead yet?"
Lu Jinye sneered, "Are you disappointed?"
Xiaoying angrily scolded: "Why is my young lady disappointed? Since the second young lady is not dead, my young lady is naturally the happiest. Stop slandering my young lady!"
Xiaoying has always been the one who protects Qiao Yihuan the most. From childhood to adulthood, she has been like a hen protecting her chicks, disguising herself as a fearless person to protect her young lady.
The young lady is extremely weak and even the servants in the mansion can bully her. If she is not powerful, the young lady will really have no way to survive.
Lu Jinye sneered and said nothing more.
But it is this kind of reaction that is the most annoying.
Xiaoying said angrily, "What do you mean? My young lady is gentle and kind, how could she do such a wicked thing as pushing her sister out?"
"Maybe she deliberately wanted to frame my young lady in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Xiaoying mentioned this, she remembered that Prince Jing was the one who hated Qiao Wanyan the most, and she felt more confident.
"Yes, that's right! Everyone in the palace has seen what kind of person the Second Young Lady is, and His Royal Highness Prince Jing knows it best. For someone who has committed so many evil deeds, to hurt herself and frame my young lady, what could she not do?"
