Beauty and Beauty: Adopted Daughter Becomes Concubine

Chapter 68
He seemed a little out of control, and fell down hard on Xin Mei, stabbing straight at him with the long sword in his hand.

Lian Yingtong broke away from Murong Yuchi and ran to the side, he was startled for a while, but seeing her turn her eyes and blink at him quickly, her heart warmed immediately.

He is capable of dealing with it alone, and the other party's mind is already disordered and he is actively attacking.

"Gu is the crown prince and heir. Murong Yuchi, you, a bastard of unknown origin, took Gu's throne and robbed Gu's woman. I, Murong Xiudi, have suffered so much all these years, but Nanming Murong's family tree has eliminated Gu. They are all you damn bastard, I want to cut off your limbs and see how you can climb up the dragon chair again!"

"Now the one sitting on the dragon chair is me." Murong Yuchi sneered.

Far away in Lingshan, the Empress Dowager Xiao calmly read the urgent secret letter, and threw it into the brazier with a faint smile.

"The queen mother?"

"The Xiao family's stamina has been stored up for decades, and it's almost useless."

Empress Dowager Xiao habitually turned the prayer beads hanging from her palm as she spoke, and each time the beads collided with each other, they made a slight sound and hit her heart one by one.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Chongyuan asked again in a deep voice.

Her cat-like almond eyes were squinted, and there was a strange brilliance in the pupils.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Chongyuan left with interest.

The incense that was worshiped in front of the late emperor's throne was just a third burnt, but it was suddenly broken and extinguished, and the soot fell to the ground and was swept away by the cold wind.

"You are also your fault, and it's useless to regret it now." Empress Dowager Xiao turned to look at the spiritual tablet of the late emperor. For decades, her hatred had never been lessened because of his death, but it had become more intense.

She knew deeply that hating a dead person was useless, so she used other methods to make herself happy, such as the man's sons.

Empress Dowager Xiao held the spiritual tablet and carefully rubbed the name of the late emperor on it, murmuring softly.The red lips that are used to giving orders opened and closed, "Wait to reunite with Qin Qiansheng's bastard in the underworld, your most beloved son is with you, you should rest in peace."

There was a rush of footsteps behind the heavy curtains, and Chi Xingyun's voice was urgent, "You took my medicine?!"

Empress Dowager Xiao squinted at him and did not answer. Chi Xingyun was even more surprised, and said patiently, "Enlin, didn't we agree that the medicine can't be used at will, unless it is a last resort—"

"Enough, why are you yelling in front of Aijia! When should the medicine be used, Aijia has his own consideration!"

"You gave the medicine to Lan Xin, didn't you?" Chi Xingyun was used to her domineering, but now he couldn't help asking again.

"So what?" Empress Dowager Xiao frowned impatiently.

Chi Xingyun was shocked, "This will kill Lan Xin. If you don't like her anymore, it's a mother-daughter relationship. You use Lan Xin's kindness everywhere. You, how can you do it! And Tong Tong, I think It is obvious that she has been sincerely moved by the emperor, she has suffered since she was a child, and it is easy for her to meet someone who loves her dearly, and the grievances of the previous generation should not involve the next generation."

"That's her uncle." Murong Lan said coldly.

"Lan Xin and the emperor are not siblings at all, and the emperor is not the same as Tongtong—" Chi Xingyun's cheeks hurt before his words fell, and he fixedly looked at Xiao Enlin, whose beautiful eyes were almost spitting fire.Without blame or anger, his eyes fell on the Xiandi spirit tablet that she was holding carefully in her hand, and he suddenly smiled, "You never bothered to touch me, a lowly slave, because you thought I was extremely dirty and always threw things at random, today you can't bear to touch me." Hit me with his spiritual bit."

Empress Dowager Xiao's complexion changed slightly, she looked at the palm that slapped Chi Xingyun in disgust, and raised her eyes to look at the ever-gentle face in front of her, from which she could see a bit of Murong Lanxin.

Gentle and kind, but she can't touch the sore spot.

"Lan Xin's surname is Murong, and it has nothing to do with you." She gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"She's my niece!"

"Do you dare to tell Lan Xin? Then please tell Lan Xin the whole story of what happened back then, tell her how she was born? Tell her that she is not a noble princess, but the daughter of a lowly slave?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered He said with a smile, "Ai's family is old, and they won't be afraid of anything anymore. You can talk about it if you want."

Chi Xingyun took a few steps back, frowning tightly, with a painful expression, "I swore I would never tell anyone in my life, and I will never do anything that hurt you again." He paused as if he had made an important decision, " But Enlin, if Lan Xin does as you ordered, what will you do with Tongtong in the future? I have to stop her."

"What should we do? Are you not afraid that Murong Yuchi will soon find out that there is something wrong with Qin Qian's cause of death?" Empress Dowager Xiao snorted coldly, "Chi Xingyun, if you dare to step out of Nanming today, you and I will cut off all ties, and you will never be allowed to do so again in this life. Half a step closer to Ai's house!"

Chi Xingyun, who was originally walking towards the outside of the palace, stopped suddenly, his lips were tightly pursed pale, his slightly hunched body half-kneeled heavily on the ground, and his voice trembled, "You—"

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her head indifferently, her fingers pinched tightly on the late emperor's spiritual seat.

The man she loved and hated for half her life never truly loved her until his death, but Chi Xingyun, whom she loathes and dislikes, has accompanied her for decades, and now he wants to betray her!
"Why don't you go, go find Lan Xin, the Ai family is not afraid, not afraid of anything!" She gritted her teeth and said sharply, her eyes trembling.

Chi Xingyun knelt there, trying to struggle to get up, when he raised his eyes, he touched Xiao Enlin's tear-filled pupils, his heart throbbed violently, and he slowly prostrated himself on the ground, silently compromising again.

In order to atone for his sins and because he couldn't extricate himself from loving her, he served her as a slave for decades, willing to sacrifice everything for her, even his life, as long as En Lin said, he would automatically offer it.

Even though Enlin detested and hated him, Chi Xingyun never thought of leaving her.

He felt sorry for Lan Xin and Tongtong, but once Murong Yuchi found out about the cause of Qin Qian's death, Murong Yuchi would do something crazy.

At that time, the safety of Enlin and Lan Xin...

Mobei Qin Mansion.

Lian Yingtong was kneeling in the small Buddhist hall, her face was haggard, her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.

It has been three days since he came back from Yunya Mountain, but there has been no news of Murong Yuchi.Mother forbade her to step out of the Qin residence, she was anxious and panicked, and cared about him crazily.

No sleep, no rest, no eating or drinking, no one's persuasion is useless.

She prayed for Murong Yuchi's safe return in front of the Buddha over and over again.

"You can't do this!" Xin Mei frowned, she heard about Lian Yingtong when she woke up, and rushed to the Buddhist hall to find her.

"You don't need to persuade me. I made a wish in front of the Buddha. I am willing to exchange my life, as long as he comes back." Her thin body struggled to speak, shaking slightly.

"He'll be fine!" Xin Mei's tone was firm, and she also knelt down beside her, "That bastard Murong Xiudi can live a good life, I believe the emperor must be lucky."

Even Yingtong's eyes were sore, but she nodded vigorously following Xin Mei's words, she also believed that Murong Yuchi would not lie to her, he understood her heart and she knew everything she thought.

Just like when she lied to Murong Xiudi and made him lose his senses, Murong Yuchi lied to her calmly; she winked at him as a hint, and he knew that she broke away and ran away to save Xin Mei and Zong Ting.

That's why he trapped Murong Xiudi and gave her a chance to save their lives.

But he and Murong Xiudi fell into Snow Valley during the fight.

Qin Wei sent many experts to search the mountain. It was freezing cold and there was no food to keep out the cold. It had been three days since there was no news, and the chances of survival were getting slimmer and slimmer.

Xin Mei was also worried, but she pretended to be fine on the surface. After this accident, she changed her attitude towards Lian Yingtong a lot. She used to think that she was just a child who would never grow up and needed Murong Yuchi's protection, but this time she had the courage to stand up. Be there for him and share his worries.

"Thank you, Hitomi."

"Mistress Xin." She was slightly surprised.

"Murong Xiudi hates him, and one of the reasons is because of me. But I really didn't expect that bastard is still alive." Mentioning Murong Xiudi, Xinmei's face was ugly, and even Yingtong noticed that she was trembling all over.

"I used to be Murong Yuchi's concubine." Xin Mei smiled teasingly when talking about the past, "You used to dislike me very much, because I was his favorite concubine in the palace, and even thought that I was not in the palace for three years , he regards you as my substitute, right?"

Lian Yingtong was startled, she must have thought about it, but how did Xin Mei know?
"I said Murong Yuchi told me, do you believe it?" Xin Mei raised her eyebrows and smiled, her smile was hearty and heroic. "I thought I would die with that bastard, and I'm still alive, so I have to tell you something, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable myself."

"Do you want to? Murong Yuchi has something to do with it, he will definitely not tell you personally."

Lian Yingtong nodded, Murong Yuchi never said much about Xin Mei and his past.

Xin Mei seemed to see through her mind, "He didn't tell you, he wanted to give me dignity, Murong Yuchi let me live with dignity." Her cold eyes suddenly became soft, full of gratitude.

"I have known the prince of the Murong family since I was very young. When my family was prosperous, my father worshiped a first-rank official. I was appointed by the late emperor to marry the then prince Murong Xiudi. Although I don't like him, I don't hate him either. Fighting against my marriage, I almost compromised." She paused, a shy smile appeared on her lips, "Until that day, I met Murong Yuchi, the second son of the emperor who has returned from learning martial arts!"

Xin Mei and Murong Yuchi have known each other for many years. They met each other when they were young, but the most impressive thing is the reunion with Murong Yuchi when they were 14 years old.

Murong Yuchi's appearance is not like that of the late emperor, a boy in his teens, his unusual beauty and his status as the empress's son, within a short period of time, unmarried noble girls in Nanming fell in love with him one after another.

However, Murong Yuchi is neither warm nor close to others. He likes horseback riding and archery, so Xin Mei has more opportunities to get in touch with him.

She practiced with her brothers since she was a child, no matter whether she was a female celebrity or riding and archery, there was never something Xin Mei could not learn well. At that time, even the late Emperor was full of praise for the daughters of the Xin family.

Xin Mei is not a fool, she also saw the approval in Murong Yuchi's eyes, she has always been more courageous than ordinary women, and she really took the initiative to pursue Murong Yuchi.

"Then why did you marry Murong Xiudi later?" After listening to her, Lian Yingtong finally understood why there were weapons in Xinmei's house, and her heroic demeanor that no woman in the palace possessed was because she was born as a general. .

"Murong Yuchi rejected me, without hesitation. Of course I didn't give up. I pestered him every day. In the end, he actually left Nanming. I was so excited that I was going to go with him. He directly tapped my acupoints and sent them to Xin's residence." , told me indifferently but very seriously that he didn’t accept me not because of my marriage with the prince or anything else, but because he never had any feelings for me.” Xin Mei sighed and looked at Lian Yingtong, “He is just In this way, no matter how good he doesn’t like it, he will never touch it, but once he likes it, he will definitely not let it go, I really don’t know if he is ruthless or affectionate?”

Lian Yingtong lowered her eyes, listening to Xin Mei talking about him in the past, those memories that she never knew were related to Murong Yuchi.

With such affection, Murong Yuchi gave it to her.

"I got along well with Murong Xiudi at the beginning, until the late emperor passed away suddenly, and I accidentally found out something." Xin Mei was in a serious mood, because of this incident, her life turned around, and the sky has never been brighter since then.

"If it hurts to say it, don't say it!" Lian Yingtong saw that Xin Mei's face turned pale, and her expression was more uncomfortable than ever. It must have hurt her the most, and she couldn't think of it again.

After Xin Mei waved her hand for a long time, she took a deep breath, fragments of memories were fragmented and flooded her mind one after another, it was very painful and she didn't know how to get over it.

"Murong Xiudi had already been abolished as the crown prince at that time, he was not reconciled to Murong Yuchi being made the crown prince by the late emperor, and planned to assassinate Murong Yuchi secretly."

Lian Yingtong squeezed her hand tightly, it is rare for the royal family to have family affection, it is common for brothers and sisters to kill each other, there is even a precedent of patricide.

Xin Mei subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, she hated being touched, but Lian Yingtong's cold palm held her tightly, soft and boneless but sincere.She finally relaxes.

"I told my father and brother that a dispute over the throne began, and they died because of it." Tears were faintly seen in Xin Mei's eyes, and Yunya Mountain finally became the place where his father and brother died in battle.

"Murong Xiudi will never let you go." Lian Yingtong felt that something had happened to Xin Mei before, Concubine De once said that her temperament has changed a lot from before.

Murong Yuchi repeatedly rejected her, but after ascending the throne, he personally married Xin Mei into the palace. He loved her very much, because the former empress poisoned Xin Mei, and he ordered the queen to be abolished.

"Murong's men have always been crazy." Xin Mei sneered, she still felt a chill in her heart and quickly moved around her limbs, she wrapped her arms around herself and rubbed vigorously in an attempt to drive away the cold.

Lian Yingtong held Xin Mei's trembling shoulders with both hands, and she heard Xin Mei's teeth clenched and trembling, "Okay, Empress Xin, stop talking, stop talking!"

"Listen to me, you will only say this once in your life!"

Xin Mei's palm was so cold that it felt as if an ice cube had touched her hand, and even Yingtong shivered from the cold.

"Murong Xiudi quickly guessed that I was the one who informed me, and I really felt sorry for him, so—" She clenched her palms and knuckles and made a clicking sound, her voice was surprisingly calm, "When Murong Yuchi found me, I had already committed suicide Didn't die several times."

Lian Yingtong thought of the deep scars on her wrists, Xin Mei committed suicide.

"My limbs were injured by Murong Xiudi, so I can no longer practice martial arts. I became a military prostitute in the military camps of the Western Regions. I don't even remember how many men have slept on my body. I can't die and I don't want to live."

Lian Yingtong's eyes were sore, she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, hot tears fell down one after another.

Xinmei's past is more than bitter and sad.

"Why are you crying, I don't want to live well now." Instead, she comforted Lian Yingtong, no matter how hard the years were, she could not see the end, Murong Yuchi appeared like a god and rescued her.

"He took me back to the palace and canonized me, and ordered the best doctor to heal me. No one knew what happened to me. I was the most favored concubine in the palace. I didn't even look down on the queen. In fact, I don't deserve it. That's it." She chuckled, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Xin Mei didn't bother to wipe them off, it's been more than ten years, and it's rare for her to cry when she thinks about it.

"Murong Yuchi didn't look down on me. He gave me dignity and let me live like a person again. The former queen poisoned me and murdered me. He didn't even think about it. I will always remember his promise to me, as long as he lives one day, Xin Mei I will never be bullied again! This man has done many things for me, and I also understand that it is not love. He sent me out of the palace because he was worried that something would happen to me again. My father and brother died fighting for him, and I suffered because of him, Murong Yuchi will make up for it again, and use all his methods to make up for me, and as for my coming back, it is because I want to see you who he brought back, Princess Changning."

"I?"

Xin Mei coughed a few times. She talked too much in one breath today, and her voice became hoarse.

"You are not in good health, please ask the doctor to come and take a look."
