Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 41
The severe pain tore through Murong Bixiao's chest, and he couldn't keep calm when he heard her speak in a gentle voice.

He was really going crazy, Tong Tong who loved her innocent and innocent for so long, was made into what he is today by Murong Yuchi.

"You can't go on!"

"Xuanzhi, you are nothing like me at all, why did you tell me that you can't continue?"

"Even if it's not you, I can't let you continue! Tongtong, I don't know what Murong Yuchi said to you to make you like this, but I know he must be persecuting you! Forcing you to stay, liking him, Even..." He paused in pain and lowered his voice, "Forcing you to love him!"

The means of doing things are ruthless and extreme, almost every man in the Murong family is like this, and Murong Yuchi is a master of it.

"That's my business too." Lian Yingtong lowered her head and said softly.

Why didn't she understand how tough Murong Yuchi used to persecute people, which made her have nowhere to escape.

Murong Bixiao's eyes turned cold, and then she laughed at herself, "Tongtong, you are so cruel, you really want to break up with me completely, our nine years of relationship lost to Murong Yuchi's coercion on you. I didn't Willing, I'm afraid you will suffer by his side, you insist on following him, have you ever thought about Miss Huang? She is going crazy if she doesn't know the truth, if she finds out..."

Lian Yingtong's face turned pale, and she said firmly in a low voice, "I won't let her know."

Murong Bixiao's eyes moved, she still cared about this relationship being discovered by Huang Jie in the future, she was especially concerned about the people around her, and Tong Tong's kindness was also her shortcoming.

"I got the answer tonight. I won't pester you anymore. Before I leave, let me remind you that Murong Yuchi is not as good as you imagined. You will not be Murong Yuchi's only woman. You don't have to believe me. Xin Mei is Prime example."

"What do you mean?" When the inexplicable Murong Bixiao mentioned Xin Mei, Lian Yingtong's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't answer her question directly, "Now you meet Huangjie and Xiaoyue's relatives, protect the relatives around you, and don't end up like Xin Mei." Murong Bixiao restrained the warmth in his eyes and returned to his usual indifference.

Lian Yingtong was terrified in her heart, and Xuanzhi revealed these words to her again. If she was with Murong Yuchi, would her mother and sister be in danger?Sime, why mention Sime?

Murong Bixiao lowered her eyes, paused, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can I ask you one last question?"

"En." He heard Lian Yingtong's small reply behind him.

"When Murong Yuchi treats you, treats you..." His eyes were slightly red and he stabilized his emotions, "If there was no such accident, would you still stick to your feelings for me?"

She couldn't give an answer, if she missed him, how could she tell him that she used to stick to his feelings so much.

"Let go, Xuanzhi, leave me alone."

Murong Bixiao was so hopeless that he was powerless, the feeling of decadence completely tore his heart apart, the suffocation-like pain flowed to his limbs along with the blood, and he felt himself trembling.

There is a hole in the heart, and the cold wind whizzes through it.

Let go, let her go, as long as she turns around, she will return to Murong Yuchi's side. She is too young and immature, her body is occupied by Murong Yuchi, and even her thoughts are controlled by his sweet words.

Just like Xin Mei back then, she even gave up the princess for Murong Yuchi, what did she get in the end?
Tongtong can't become the second Xinmei, he, Murong Bixiao, won't and won't allow things to become so dire!

You have to leave that man, otherwise your future will always face blood, which should not be something you can bear when you are young.

Whatever the consequences, he, Murong Bixiao, will bear it.

Tongtong, I would rather you hate me than I must!

Lian Yingtong felt uneasy at Xuan Zhi's warning words, Xin Mei's identity was a taboo in the palace, and Concubine De had very limited words to say, she was the concubine of the former deposed prince, and the concubine of Murong Yuchi.

She has the title of concubine, but her demeanor is more imposing than that of the queen. It is said that she relies on Murong Yuchi's favor to run amok in the harem. Sometimes even Yingtong feels that Xinmei is always indifferent to others, whether it is flattery or sincerity. She refused all attempts to make friends with her.

It seems that her world can only accommodate Murong Yuchi alone, and her thoughts and emotions also change with Murong Yuchi, the way she looks at Murong Yuchi is completely different from the usual indifference, the pupils of those eyes are as gentle as water.

She loves Rong Yuchi very much, her strong love even Yingtong can empathize with her, how much she loves, she is willing to give everything even she doesn't care about herself.

Thinking of the scene she saw, Murong Yuchi hugged Xin Mei dotingly, and called her darling...

She was very sad, maybe at that moment she realized that her feelings for Murong Yuchi began to change differently.

Lian Yingtong is stubborn but insensitive to feelings. She likes Murong Yuchi, she admits, but she doesn't know how much she likes him. She only knows that it's a completely different feeling from liking Xuanzhi before.

Even though she has the closest relationship with him, Lian Yingtong still accepts Murong Yuchi's love step by step according to her own thoughts.

Their relationship is shady and devastating.

For no reason, she wanted to find out how much Murong Yuchi loved Xin Mei.
How much did he love her?
How many people can one person love with one heart?

She felt that she was becoming more and more greedy, but she couldn't control the growth and spread of this greed.

Unable to sleep well, she read and read the note left by Murong Yuchi.

"Can't sleep again?" Li Xuan came in and saw her lying on the table listlessly with blue eye circles, "Physician Chi sent some incense a few days ago, saying that it was very effective in calming the nerves, and the maidservant infected the little princess's autumn clothes, you heard I like it. If you like it, wait a while to infuse the Guanju Palace, so you can sleep peacefully at night."

The incense that Chi Xingyun prepared was very unique, elegant and indifferent. She smelled it and finally managed to take a nap. Since when did she become so preoccupied because of Murong Yuchi.

"Is Chang Ning not feeling well?" She just woke up from a nap and heard Concubine De talking outside.

"Go back to your mother, the little princess didn't sleep well, and she just slept peacefully after lighting the incense."

"It turns out that there is a tribute of pears here for Chang Ning, Qiu Zao let her moisten her throat, and I have to send it to Concubine Xin, so let's go first so as not to disturb Chang Ning's rest."

"Empress Defei." Lian Yingtong called out to stop her, "My bones ached from sleeping, why don't I accompany you to Concubine Xin's place, I haven't seen her for a long time."

She lived next to Xinmei, but it was the first time she went to her bedroom. Unlike the decorations of other concubines, Xinmei rarely has her daughter's things here, and the elegant furniture is simple and unassuming, the most eye-catching The most important thing is the carved bow and arrow hanging on the wall of the inner room, and a Qingfeng sword.

When Lian Yingtong and Concubine De came in, Xin Mei was wiping these things, looking up at their clear and beautiful eyebrows with a heroic look.

A very special woman, who is skilled in equestrian skills and seems to be good at martial arts, Lian Yingtong thought to herself, she looks too weak compared to her and needs someone to protect her.

Unexpectedly, Lian Yingtong appeared, Xin Mei frowned slightly, and quickly moved her eyes away, with a look of indifference thousands of miles away, sometimes her expression really resembled Murong Weichi.

"Sister Mei, the weather in Nanming is hot and dry in autumn. I heard that you had a cough the day before yesterday, and Zhen'er sent you tribute pears." Concubine De didn't care about her indifferent expression, and sent tribute pears to you.

Xin Mei wiped the things in her hands and put them away carefully, and motioned them to go out and sit in the small water pavilion outside the courtyard.

The water pavilion is quiet and well blocks the autumn wind, without feeling the coldness at all. The autumn sun is warm and warm, making people lazy.

"Sister Mei, last time the imperial doctor said you didn't sleep well, have you been feeling better recently?" Concubine De knew Xin Mei's personality well, so she spoke first to break the embarrassment of silence.

Xin Mei half-closed her eyes, frowned and rubbed her forehead to express to Concubine De that she hadn't gotten better. Lian Yingtong was a little curious that she couldn't hear the sound, but her reaction was as quick as ordinary people, so she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Xin Mei opened her eyes quickly, staring at Lian Yingtong coldly and sharply, she nodded her eyes and put her hands on her lips again.

"Chang Ning, Sister Mei understands lip language." Concubine De repeatedly explained that Xin Mei has always been indifferent to her own flaws, but she doesn't like other people's ignorant curiosity about her.Immediately, Concubine De took a look at Chang Ning and gestured for her to pay attention.

Lian Yingtong understood, and felt apologetic. Seeing that Xin Mei had a headache and felt uncomfortable, she couldn't help but said, "Miss Xin, I have incense from the imperial doctor, which can calm the mind. You smell it, I think it's not bad."

Seeing that Xin Mei didn't refuse, Lian Yingtong walked to Xin Mei's side, and she was infected with the fragrance, but Xin Mei frowned after sniffing, and pushed her unsuspecting into the water pavilion with a wave of her hand.

Fortunately, the water was not deep, and she was rescued by the servants who rushed over after choking a few mouthfuls. Lian Yingtong was always afraid of water, she was wet and trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Concubine De's face turned pale with panic, Xin Mei rubbed her forehead and frowned and stared at Lian Yingtong without blinking, she rarely walked over for a while, and took a closer look at her who was frightened.

He grabbed Lian Yingtong up and pushed it to Concubine De, and ordered the maid to take a medicine bottle for her to sniff. The choking smell hit her brain, and Lian Yingtong vomited on the water pavilion in disgust.

Waiting for the imperial doctor to arrive, she vomited weakly, the imperial doctor checked and confirmed that she was not seriously injured when she fell into the water, Xin Mei looked at her coldly, probably this time the trouble was too much, Xin Mei left her to rest in the palace.

"Concubine Xin went too far this time!" Li Xuan who came over after hearing the news rarely got angry and even repeatedly accused Xin Mei.

Xin Mei sat quietly, she couldn't hear the voice anyway, and let Li Xuan criticize her. Finally, she smiled lightly and saluted Li Xuan, turned around and left.

Li Xuan stopped in front of her and suddenly changed her address, "Miss Xin, the little princess is afraid of water, although you don't know it, but she is the emperor's favorite person, what did you smell to her, which made the little princess spit like that, Don't take it too far."

Xin Mei was taken aback, glanced at Li Xuan, and slowly took out the porcelain bottle that Lian Yingtong sniffed just now from her sleeve.

Li Xuan took it suspiciously and sniffed it, and suddenly his expression changed, "This..."

Xin Mei pursed her lips, and left with a cold expression, leaving Li Xuan frowning tightly on the spot.

"Aunt Xuan." The person on the bed made a weak voice, when she saw the bottle in Li Xuan's hand, Lian Yingtong's scalp tingled, and she felt nauseous when she smelled the offensive smell. "Take this away, it smells so bad, I feel like vomiting!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan threw it into the porcelain vase, and smiled without showing any trace, "Okay, I've thrown it away, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"It's much better." Her voice was weak. In the dream just now, she saw herself being hung from the top of a tree branch, the rope was cut and she fell into the rushing river. Her chest hurt so badly.She cried and shouted that no one could save her, and then she was so choked that she couldn't breathe...

She hasn't had this dream for a long time, and she gets scared when she thinks about it.
"Your servant has boiled hot soup, can you sleep for a while after drinking it?" Li Xuan comforted her softly, went out and brought in the hot soup, seeing Lian Yingtong standing up and covering her nose, blood was oozing from her fingers, and her footsteps were shaking.

"Aunt Xuan, I'm so dizzy...I..."

Murong Huaixiu stood outside the Xinmei Gate, seeing the beautiful woman who looked at him coldly, she smiled gratefully and said: "Sister Mei, thank you for saving my little niece."

After hearing this, Xin Mei gestured a few times, then cast a sideways glance at Murong Huaixiu.

"I can't blame you for this. Three years ago, you were almost killed by incense mixed with poison. I heard that you have been studying the fragrance. You smelled something wrong with the fragrance dyed on the clothes of your little niece. You accidentally pushed her into the water." .You gave her the antidote, and people who are not poisoned by this medicine can't smell it at all, only people who are poisoned will vomit when they smell it."

Xin Mei didn't think so, she moved her lips: I'm not for her.

"You are doing this for the sake of my imperial brother and sister Mei. You will always be misunderstood. My little niece is very simple. You might as well try to treat her better." Seeing Xin Mei's hand gestures, Murong Huaixiu smiled wryly, "Why do you do this? You are also very important to the emperor. I don't know what happened to you before, but now the little niece is his life, your method is too extreme, you make the emperor difficult in front of the little niece."

"Touch!" Xin Mei vigorously closed the palace door, Murong Huaixiu touched her nose and stood outside.

Murong Huaixiu shook her head and muttered to herself, "Idiot men and women complain, why did we meet together?"

Thinking of the spices that his little niece was infected with, he went to the imperial hospital to inquire, and confirmed that the imperial physician who prepared the prescription was called Chi Xingyun.He only stays in the palace for a few months every year, and the rest of the time he works as a traveling doctor among the people.

A few days ago, he had already left Nanming Palace.

Surnamed Chi, Murong Huaixiu's mind kept flashing the faces he saw in the Imperial Hospital at that time. The Imperial Physician Chi was more impressive, with a tepid personality. famous style.

Suddenly he remembered something, and took out the silk handkerchief that he and his little niece wanted from his sleeve. He remembered that he had smelled an imperceptible fragrance in Guanju Palace, but he couldn't remember what it was. The ingredients in incense are very similar.

Fragrance therapy is similar to taking medicine to cure diseases. Experts who are familiar with this method can blend different fragrances. There is only a thin line between killing and saving people. Even famous experts can use this method to develop slow and imperceptible killing methods.

If it was really him who drugged the little niece, the method he used was effective in taking care of the little niece's body, but on the other hand, it prevented her from getting better. Is the purpose to harm her or save her?
After several autumn rains, the weather was suddenly cold, and the gate of Nanming Palace slowly opened, followed by a rush of horseshoes, breaking the thick night.

Murong Yuchi jumped off his horse and hurried towards the harem, his handsome face was tense and his eyes were extremely cold.

"How is she?" There was a trace of impatience in the cold voice.

Murong Huaixiu was waiting for him, and only whispered a few words. Murong Yuchi's expression remained unchanged and his pace quickened. When the night wind blew past, his dark cloak fluttered. He was like an agile beast lurking in the darkness, with starry eyes Deep and shallow can not see the bottom.

"Aunt Xuan, he's really back?!" Lian Yingtong's eyes sparkled, a little dubious.

"Lord Zong sent someone to inform that the emperor will return to Nanming." Li Xuan helped her put on her clothes, "Don't get up, the nosebleed and cough haven't healed yet, when you wake up, the emperor will almost arrive."

"It's past midnight, and I've had enough sleep during the day, so I'll get up and wait for him to go." Lian Yingtong was about to get up while she was still sleepy.

Li Xuan held her back, half coaxing and half persuading her.

"Little princess, the emperor is most concerned about your body. It has only rained a few times in the middle of the night and it's cold outside. You froze yourself, and it's him who loves you the most."

She was a little embarrassed to be told by Li Xuan that she was thinking about him. When she heard that he was coming back, her longing for the past few days had spread, and even she was taken aback. When did she miss Murong Yuchi so much.

"But I can't sleep, why don't you light some incense for me." Her heart was determined to be at ease.

"Your little uncle has been researching incense recently, and has already taken away those sent by Chi Taiji." Murong Huaixiu told her the general reason. Since then, she has checked everything sent by anyone, and will not give it away easily. For the little princess.

A Lin can be happy if the little princess is alive and well. Li Xuan has not seen A Lin sincerely smiling for a long time. She will not allow anyone to hurt A Lin and A Lin's people again. This girl will not become the second Xinmei.

"That's right." She looked at the dark sky with no stars, how long before she could see him?
After thinking about it, she took out the notes he had left behind. There were a few notes with a dozen or so words in them. She had read them many times, and the papers were also scrunched up.

After a while, she couldn't bear to look at the time-keeping hourglass, and the fine quicksand kept falling with a slight sound, waiting for a person for a long time, the person who was waiting for the return.

Lian Yingtong washed up briefly, and looked at the mirror for a long time. When she got sick, the sides of her thin cheeks were slightly sunken, and her face looked a little pale.

After ordering some rouge cream, she smiled and looked at herself in the mirror who looked much better.

Looking at the side where he usually sleeps, the empty side, she softly expressed her inner feelings, "Murong Yuchi, I miss you so much."
