The pretty mistress of Hou Ye's family

Chapter 170

Yao Yao exhaled and asked, "Who did it? Is it Hongling Empress?"

Qin Yilan nodded, "There is no one else."

"Why would she do that?"

Qin Yilan said softly, "It's very simple. What she can't get, she doesn't want others to get. This man holds the secret that Hongling Fuxiang needs."

Yao Yao shook her head in fear, "She was sure I was going to steal someone, so she destroyed him one step ahead of time? Isn't it?"

"Um……"

"I'm sorry!" Yao Yao apologized, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, if it wasn't for my appearance, you should have survived for many years. I...I am really sorry for you!"

"Ah—" Hearing Yao Yao's voice, the father-in-law waved his fingerless palm, "cough cough cough—"

A mouthful of poisonous blood spewed out.

When Yao Yao saw it, she quickly turned her head and asked, "Master Hou, is he poisoned?"

"Ah."

"Can it be saved?"

"It can't be saved!" Qin Yilan sighed, "I have been poisoned for many years, and I have been tortured by the virus every day. My body is already broken, and it is useless to rejuvenate with a good hand."

Yao Yao took off the necklace around her neck.

Qin Yilan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't waste it. Say it, it's useless! Mermaid tears can't save him!"

Yao Yao burst into tears, her nose flushed, "I'm sorry... Father-in-law... I..."

"Ah-ah-ah-" the eunuch kept gesticulating in the air.

Yao Yao hurriedly asked, "What do you want to tell me. Last time you drew on my palm, I... I can't understand it. Is it a word? Or a picture?"

The eunuch stretched out his bloody palm, "Ahem——"

He vomited blood, and drew again in Yao Yao's palm.

A scarlet pattern appeared crookedly in her palm.

There is a little red between the two-tailed foxes.

Yao Yao looked at the picture in surprise.

Isn't this the pattern engraved on every bamboo in the Zhuqing Hall of the Emperor, in the bamboo garden?
In a daze, the eunuch exhausted his strength, tilted his head and slowly fell asleep.

Yao Yao dragged his fallen head and sighed, "I'm sorry."

Qin Yilan held her palm and comforted him, "You have relieved him. The slow poison in his body is tormenting him day and night, and life is worse than death. He insisted on not committing suicide, as if he was waiting for you to pick him up." he."

Yao Yao asked with a wry smile, "Is that so? Death is a good thing for him, right?"

"Correct."

right?
Yao Yao closed her eyes and opened them angrily, "No! Even if he wants to be free, he can't use such torture methods to make him close his eyes!"

Yao Yao squeezed the eunuch's palm and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, under the nine springs, you are optimistic, I will definitely give you a perfect explanation!"

Qin Yilan responded helplessly, "Ma'am, don't be impulsive!"

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

How much can she listen to his persuasion!I'm really worried about him.

Qin Yilan ordered someone to secretly bury his father-in-law. There was no monument or tomb erected, but many flowers were planted in front of his grave.

In the cold night, a few fireflies floated out of the flowers, wandering around Yao Yao.

Yao Yao still had the imprint drawn by her father-in-law in her palm, and she was almost fascinated looking at this symbol.

What the hell is this symbol?Why does she always feel so familiar?

Qin Yilan walked around behind her, gently opened her palm, and was also thinking about this symbol, "What style is this?"

"Master Hou has never seen it before?"

"No."

"Does the Marquis know that the bamboo garden in the Zhuqing Palace is full of bamboos with this mark on them?"

"Oh? Is there any?"

"Yes." Yao Yao nodded vigorously, "I just think this mark is familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it."

Qin Yilan put his arms around her shoulders and dragged her into the room, "Don't be too hasty in doing things, we have plenty of time."

"Cough cough cough... Hou Ye has a lot of time, but I don't have much. I'm a short-lived ghost."

"Nonsense again. I really want to bite you to vent my anger!"

"..."

Qin Yilan checked her pulse, "Why is your body so bad today? You won't be so weak after a sip of wine!"

"I've never drank alcohol, it's too much to resist."

"I'll change your medicine later on. Ma'am, don't worry. You just need to eat well, and within two years, we can... um..."

"..." Beast!
Yao Yao only responded to him with two blank eyes.

The rumors outside the palace became more and more serious day by day, to the point where everyone ran to the front of Yao's mansion to watch.

Yao Wenwen didn't go to court in the past few days, and he didn't even set foot in the mansion.

There is no movement on the emperor's side yet, but the prince's side is already restless.

After Yu Wenhong heard the news, Mu Li just came over to ask, but Yu Wenhong slapped him to the ground.

Mu Li covered his face in horror and looked at him, "Your Highness, why did you hit me?"

Yu Wenhong stared and shouted, "Why do you still ask me? Who asked you to spread the news?"

Mu Li shouted angrily, "It's not me!"

"Is it you or who? Is it because I can't make it? Don't you know that this matter can't be said?"

Mu Li was puzzled and asked, "Why can't you tell?"

"Why else? You don't know how many people my father killed to keep his mouth shut, right? The bones were hung on the gate of the palace for three whole days, just to warn others! What? You want to be ripped off too. Naked clothes, what does it feel like to be hanged on the palace wall?"

"Huh? This—this—"

Yu Wenhong scratched his head, "Father can't figure it out, how dare you reveal the news? What a brainless woman!"

Mu Li cried, "I didn't! I never said a single word."

"It's ridiculous, who else said this besides you? Wait...could it be her?"

Yu Wenhong pondered silently, pacing back and forth constantly.

No matter who spread the news, he couldn't escape the responsibility.I don't know how the father made the final decision.Protect Yao Yao, or protect him?
Why is he so unconfident?

Eunuch Hong came over with his troops and said, "His Royal Highness, the Emperor wants to see you."

Yu Wenhong rubbed between his brows, "Understood. I'll go right away."

After rectifying for a long time, he slowly set off.

Yu Wenhong rushed to the main hall of Yushufang, and saw Yao Yao and Qin Yilan standing outside the door waiting.The two held hands, peacefully.

Yu Wenhong stepped forward in embarrassment and responded, "Third brother, younger brother and sister."

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." The two spoke in unison.

After Yu Wenhong cast a deep glance at them both, he entered the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the room, Yu Wenhong lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Eunuch Hong handed him a letter, "His Royal Highness!"

Yu Wenhong recognized the letter paper as soon as he saw it, it was the letter he had given to Yao Yao.Something used to threaten her.

Yu Wenhong frowned, not understanding why she gave this thing to the emperor?

Yuwen Dongyue asked coldly, "Did you forge this thing?"

"Forged? Father, why did you conclude that this thing is forged?"

"Why are you so sure? Heh—" Yuwen Tongyue asked contemptuously, "How much literature have you read?"

"Uh……"

"You wait, I asked Yao'er to come over and tell you how to tell whether this thing is fake or not. Eunuch Hong, tell her to come in."

"Yes!"

After a while, Yao Yao pushed the door open and entered, bowed her knees and saluted, "My wife kowtowed to the emperor."

"Get up and answer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Yao took three steps forward and stood one step behind the crown prince.

　Thank you girls for your rewards and various tickets and beans, okay?
