Chapter 9 Brother-in-law, don’t worry about my life or death…
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough..."
A cough interrupted the condensed atmosphere.
Mingyue coughed at the right time.
As soon as she was in the pond, she knew who had kidnapped her.
Nothing else.
Having been together for so long, she knew Huo Xingchen's body too well.
In the past, when she acted like a spoiled child and refused to walk, he would carry her on his back and hold her in his arms.
But now is the wrong time for him to hug her.
The plans that were supposed to be saved by the prince were ruined by him.
And doesn't he hate her?
Why jump into the pool to save her now?
Pretending to just wake up, he looked around and saw Xiao Zi and Ming Lian with terrified eyes. He shrank back, looking terrified.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and the wetness stuck to his cheeks, but he didn't look miserable at all.
It is more like a peony emerging from water.
It makes people want to hold it in their arms and cherish it.
When she looked up again, she happened to meet Huo Chenyuan's eyes. The grievance in Mingyue's eyes seemed to overflow, and the corners of her eyes were red. The pair of eyes that should have been bright seemed to be wet.
Looking at the person in front of me is like looking at a god.
The voice was hoarse and choked, sweet and fragile.
"Brother-in-law..."
He just said two words and stopped talking.
But it was just these two words.
Huo Chenyuan only felt that his calm heart suddenly started beating like a drum, constantly pounding his chest as if it was about to jump out.
My mind is blank.
My ears are buzzing.
At this moment he could neither see nor hear anything.
The whole world only had the person in front of him, the one who was being held in the arms of another man but looking at him coquettishly.
Can…
He just treated her as a sister.
If you help her at this time, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Crown Princess.
He…can't.
In the end, Huo Chenyuan avoided her gaze.
Qingqiu and Qingning ran to Mingyue crying and knelt beside her.
The sound was a cry of injustice, and every word was heartbreaking.
"Miss, Miss, is there any law here?" Qingqiu turned abruptly and pointed at Xiaozi and Minglian, his eyes bloodshot. "The Crown Princess allowed her servants to push my young lady into the pond. My young lady was just asking why she wasn't wearing the Nine Plum Pearl Hairpin that she so happily gave her."
"The Crown Princess said that the hairpin my young lady gave her was not worthy of her. And you, a lowly servant, relied on the Crown Princess's power to dare to commit treason and take someone's life. This is simply unforgivable!!"
Qingqiu has always been thoughtful.
But with just a few words, Minglian and Xiaozi were labeled as evil.
There is no way to defend yourself.
Qingning has a chubby face and her crying is deafening.
"Wow wow wow wow wow!! Miss, we are useless and couldn't protect you. Xiao Zi and the Crown Princess almost killed you. You've only been home for a few years, and the Crown Princess used to use coal to grow Clivia at home. Could it be that because you've returned home, you're no longer the Crown Princess' only daughter, and that's why she's so jealous of you?"
"So, in the Prince's Mansion, on her own turf, you're going to kill the young lady?"
"I can't explain myself to the Marquis and his wife. I might as well die! Wuuwuwu!!"
"My poor lady!!"
Qingning also made it clear in a few words that Minglian did not suffer at all in the Marquis' Mansion.
On the contrary, you can use charcoal fire to grow Clivia in winter.
This doesn't look like suffering at all.
Directly exposed Minglian's lies.
Minglian, Xiaozi was almost angry to death.
These two slaves are confusing right and wrong.
She had raised Clivia before, but the charcoal fire she used was nothing compared to Hua Xiaoyun's.
Hua Xiaoyun decorated Mingyue's room extremely luxuriously.
At that time, Mingyue clearly had no news.
But what about her?
She is even worse than a daughter who doesn't know how to live or die in the Marquis's Mansion.
The things in Mingyue's room are much better than hers.
She is the eldest daughter.
Can't we even use a little coal?
Mingyue responded at the right time.
Looking at Xiao Zi, her face was obviously pale, but her eyes were filled with the carefreeness of a pampered person.
"You pushed me into the water, and I'm going to tell Daddy and Mommy and have them punish you!"
Xiao Zi was very proud.
He looked at the second young lady with contempt, who was still stunningly beautiful even though she was wet.
"I am from the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Second Young Lady and the Marquis have no right to punish me."
Mingyue looked again at Huo Chenyuan, who was silent and also soaked.
There was a hint of hope and expectation in his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, my sister allowed this servant to attack me. I know my position and cannot do anything to her. Moreover, she is my sweetheart. We have been together since childhood and have a deep relationship. I am afraid that even if I lose my life, I will not touch her in the slightest."
"But, a servant dared to do this to me, can't I seek justice for myself?"
Several people also looked at Huo Chenyuan.
Waiting quietly for his answer.
Minglian fell to her knees with a thud.
"Your Highness, Xiao Zi did this for me. She just wanted to protect me. My sister questioned me at the time, and Xiao Zi was afraid that my sister would hurt me, so she accidentally pushed my sister into the pool. But when Xiao Zi and I were about to find someone to rescue us, you showed up. Please, for my sake, spare Xiao Zi."
"Xiao Zi and I are like sisters. I can't just watch her die."
Huo Chenyuan looked embarrassed.
I have discovered time and again that Minglian is not as kind as she appears to be.
But after years of relationship, they are now husband and wife again.
Feelings don't fade away in a moment.
The anger in my heart was gone, and I sighed.
"Hurry up and get up. What are you kneeling for?"
Minglian couldn't hold on any longer and crawled forward two steps on her knees.
She was dressed in white. Although her appearance was far inferior to that of the bright moon, she was still pretty, pure, delicate and pitiful.
"No, Your Highness, if you don't agree to my request, I won't get up. I apologize to you. As long as you can calm down, I will do anything. I only ask you not to attack Xiao Zi. My wife is imprisoned in the manor and I haven't seen her many times. Xiao Zi is the one who has been with me the longest."
"Your Highness knows that Xiao Zi was the one who accompanied me during those lonely days."
"Your Highness, if you kill Xiao Zi, you will kill half of my life. Please, Your Highness."
As she spoke, Minglian's body softened, as if she had fainted.
Huo Chenyuan squatted down in time to support Minglian and held her in his arms.
Minglian leaned weakly in Huo Chenyuan's arms, her face and lips were pale as if transparent, and she struggled to get up.
"Sister, this is my fault. Please let Xiao Zi go. I'm going to jump into the pool right now. I'll come out when you're satisfied. Is that okay with you?"
Said.
He struggled to crawl towards the pond.
Huo Chenyuan felt so distressed that he held the person in his arms.
Unsure.
"solitary…"
Mingyue cursed in her heart, "Bitch!"
However, she also knew clearly that the relationship between Huo Chenyuan and Minglian would not be so easy to break up.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have walked hand in hand to the end of the plot.
Huo Chenyuan also promoted Minglian to the position of queen, making her the mother of the country.
She cried softly out of grievance.
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about my life or death. My sister is not wrong, Xiao Zi is not wrong, the one who is wrong is me. I shouldn't have come back. I should have died outside."
Huo Chenyuan was in a dilemma.
Minglian leaned in his arms, still struggling.
Sudden.
Huo Xingchen held Mingyue in one hand, sneered, and started mocking her.
"Crown Prince cousin, your management of the Crown Prince's Mansion is not very good. It's okay that your Crown Princess has your support, but her maid dared to kill the general and the only legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Tsk tsk tsk, if you don't know her, you would think she is the Crown Princess."
Huo Chenyuan's character is not as gentle and gentlemanly as he appears.
A pair of eyes shot towards Huo Xingchen fiercely.
Huo Xingchen is no pushover either. Even the emperor doesn't dare to touch their Zhenbei Palace easily.
The prince was naturally not afraid.
The two of them were at loggerheads.
The rest were all terrified.
Xiao Zi was even more proud and could no longer tell the difference between the big and small kings.
Pointing at Huo Xingchen, he shouted.
"King of the Small Town, how dare you disrespect the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!!"
"ah!!!!"
Minglian had no time to stop it, and then she heard Xiaozi scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The hand pointing at Huo Xingchen was chopped off with a knife.
Blood like a pillar.
Dye the green grass red.
Minglian looked at Xiao Zi and was about to plead with Huo Chenyuan when she heard Huo Xingchen throw away the long sword drawn from the guard beside him, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He stood up and picked up Mingyue.
He was tall, and the bright moon seemed to be wrapped in his arms.
"I will teach this humble servant a lesson for you. Your Highness, there is no need to thank me."
Huo Chenyuan's face was gloomy.
Without saying a word.
Just looking at Mingyue nestled in his arms, she was no longer willing to look up at him, and he felt an inexplicable soreness and pain in his heart.
Like a needle prick.
"Put Mingyue down and leave her to me. You are a stranger, have you considered her reputation before taking her away?"
Huo Xingchen paused.
"Your brother-in-law is asking you a question. Do you want to come with me or stay here?" He shook the person pretending to be dumb in his arms, but the person in his arms seemed to be fearless as if he knew he would not be thrown, and did not react at all.
at this time.
All eyes were focused on Mingyue again.
No one even paid attention to Xiao Zi's broken hand.
Even Minglian focused her attention on Mingyue.
She saw that the man who was supposed to be her husband and the King of the North in the small town who was rumored to hate her to the core were surrounding her.
An indescribable sense of disappointment welled up in my heart.
Mingyue cursed Huo Xingchen in her heart a hundred and eighty times.
Ask her what to do at this time.
Just take her away.
This would only make the prince feel that she had been wronged and feel even more guilty.
And the prince.
Despicable man.
Aren't you protecting Minglian and that bitch?
Also ask her what she does, ask, ask, ask!!
A bunch of bitches!!
They are all bitches!!
Although she was thinking this in her heart, Mingyue looked heartbroken. With red eyes, she raised her head from Huo Xingchen's arms and looked at Huo Chenyuan.
There is a teardrop at the perfect angle at the end of the eye with a blood-red teardrop mole.
Like a falling star.
Huo Chenyuan's heart tightened.
"Bright moon..."
"Your Highness, Mingyue was sentimental in the past. When I saw Your Highness, I felt a sense of intimacy and wanted to get closer to you. But today, I almost lost my life. Mingyue finally realized that I am nothing. I can't let a slave be punished even for my own life. I will never pester Your Highness again in the future."
Huo Xingchen looked like a winner.
"Did the prince hear that? Then I will leave."
He took two steps and then paused.
He turned his head and spoke slowly.
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were childhood sweethearts, their youthful love was profound and their affections were deep. I've heard this from my ministers on the frontier, and now it seems to be true."
After Qianqian finished speaking, he left with satisfaction.
Mingyue, who was pretending to be weak in his arms, almost couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Sure enough, Huo Xingchen's mouth is still as vicious as ever. He just said that the Crown Princess was vicious, and now he says that the two of them have a deep relationship. Isn't this a roundabout way of saying that the Crown Prince is also the same kind of person?
Looking at the corner of clothes passing by.
The figure walking away and Mingyue's disappointed look at him.
Huo Chenyuan felt a dull pain in his heart.
Minglian smiled. She won. Mingyue was not as good as her after all!
For her, His Highness didn't even do anything when Xiao Zi wanted to kill Ming Yue.
What can Mingyue use to compete with her?
Just thinking about this.
The next moment, she heard Huo Chenyuan giving orders indifferently with his back to her.
"Xiao Zi, you committed treason and were so bold as to attempt to murder the daughter of an important official. You will be punished with fifty lashes as a warning to others. If you do it again, you will be severely punished."
The words fell.
Stride away.
Minglian and Xiaozi were left standing there in a daze with pale faces.
