The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 200 The Messy Truth ([-])
"Teacher, Master."

The girl's whole body trembled slightly, her big eyes showed a look of fear, but she still had to force herself to maintain a smile on her face, she looked really pitiful.

The leader was unmoved, and a deep voice slowly sounded above her head.

"Baoling, I didn't let you use our people to do such a stupid thing. Now, even our little power in the palace has been wiped out."

"I……"

The girl bit her lower lip, unable to refute.She was indeed too anxious about this action, and she never thought that Yun Ruochen's lowly servant girl would do such a deadly move, killing everyone without even needing evidence.

The person who asked her to be placed in the queen's palace didn't even have the chance to escape and deliver a letter.

"If it wasn't for me, I still need people now..."

The leader's hand continued to tighten, and with a soft click, he suddenly got up and lifted the girl up!
"ah!"

The girl screamed in horror, kicked her feet off the ground twice indiscriminately, resisted the urge to struggle, and obediently let her master handle it.

Her face was full of tears, her beautiful facial features were tangled together, a weak moan came from her throat, and her back was cold all the way from the top of her head to her tailbone.

The slender fingers pinched her chin and lifted her face forcefully, forcing her to avoid his gaze.

"Baoling, please remember, there will be no next time."

"Yes Yes……"

"Good boy."

Suddenly, she was thrown onto the carpet like a rag sack, thrown far away, her forehead slammed against the sharp corners of some unknown cage.After the severe stinging pain, there was a hot wet feeling, probably bleeding...

"Get out."

This was the last order of the leader. As if she had been pardoned, she scrambled and left the tent.

The summer nights in the grassland were not as warm as in the Central Plains. The cold wind slashed at her face from nowhere, drying her tears instantly.

The fear in Yun Baoling's eyes had long since disappeared, and she got into another slovenly tent nearby, lit the lamp, sat cross-legged, and opened the dressing box.

The mirror of the cloud reflected her beautiful face despite being embarrassed. She took out a boxwood comb, untied a braid, and began to comb it one by one.

She is used to the life of wandering and fleeing, and no matter how messy the environment is, she will still try her best to dress herself up as beautifully as possible, because this appearance may be her last weapon.

The beauty in the mirror raised the corners of her mouth, and her smile became colder and colder.

She looked at herself in pity, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to touch herself in the mirror.

Once, she was also the golden branch and jade leaf in the eyes of everyone, the proud daughter of heaven.But... Ever since that lowly servant girl appeared, yes, that Yun Ruochen, her life has completely changed!

Originally, she was the most favored lady in the palace, and she was the future princess. Why did things differ from what I expected?Why Yun Ruochen won the love of the old man of the late emperor without any effort, why her father's throne as the heir was taken away, and why she was reduced to the so-called fairy princess of the Destiny Sect, and was forced to learn from those Disgusting fetish?

Recalling all the experiences of the past few years, Yun Baoling's stomach twitched, and she felt like vomiting.

But that lowly servant girl lived such a happy life in the palace, and now she is even the princess of Jian Guo!

Jealousy can blind a person's reason, especially those who have similar status and life circles with themselves. Once they are in the same situation as they are now, many people will lose their psychological balance.

And Yun Baoling has gradually changed from her initial dislike of Yun Ruochen to hatred, and even brainwashed herself - without Yun Ruochen, my life would be different!
I should be the princess of the empire, and I should enjoy all the glory and wealth, not Yun Ruochen who has been inferior to me since she was a child!
Then... since I'm not having a good time, Yun Ruochen shouldn't be happy either!

Thousands of miles away, Yun Baoling once again silently cursed Yun Ruochen in his heart.And neither she nor Yun Ruochen expected——

They will meet again soon.

Yun Baoling, who has become the Guardian Fairy of the Destiny Sect, is the real culprit who caused the murder in the harem.No one expected that the Princess Yanyang, who was said to have disappeared in the rebellion and was probably no longer alive, was still hiding in the dark and plotting all kinds of conspiracies!

When Nie Shen reappeared in Chonghua Palace, another half month passed.Yun Ruochen was dizzy with all kinds of affairs every day, and had to spend time supervising the palace servants and imperial physicians treating his father's illness, so he didn't notice the passage of time.

If Ye Shenyan hadn't been in charge of her diet, with her profound cultivation, she would have lost several laps of weight from exhaustion.

Nie looked at the blackness in front of her eyes with deep distress, but he was too aware of her behavior style, so if he advised her to rest, he could only swallow it again.

"Is there any new progress?"

Hearing Nie Shen say there was good news, Yun Ruochen's eyes lit up immediately.

"Ah."

What Nie Shen brought this time was not stacks of organized materials, but a scroll.

The scrolls were laid flat on the table, Ye Shenyan was a little confused, but Yun Ruochen could tell at a glance that this was a simple topographic map of Prince Jing's mansion.

She looked up at Nie Shen, waiting for his further explanation.

Nie Shen drew an imaginary circle in the back garden with his finger, and then said that servants recalled that Liang Lianqing was in poor health and rarely left her yard, let alone attended any gatherings among noble ladies.It's just that every fifteenth, when the weather is fine, I will go to the garden for a walk.

"back yard?"

Yun Ruochen frowned: "I've searched countless times and set up a magic circle, but I really didn't sense the existence of the key..."

"They said that she likes to watch the scenery in the water pavilion next to the small pond."

Moreover, it takes a long time to see it.Sometimes, all the servants will be sent away, and they will stay alone in the water pavilion to think about their thoughts.Because this princess has always treated people very well, and the servants also like her, and they rarely chew her tongue behind her back.Years later, when Nie Shen's spies used various methods to talk to her, she didn't realize that Liang Lianqing's behavior was very weird.

It's interesting... Yun Ruochen cheered up, thought about it, and said disappointedly: "The water pavilion next to the small pond seems to have been demolished when I was very young, right? The impression is very vague."

It was said to be demolished, but in fact, it was because the materials used when the mansion was founded were not good, and the paint and peeling of the pillars in the corridor did not take long. It should have been demolished when Yun Ruochen was five or six years old.

Would Liang Lianqing hide the key in such a place?She can't be so short-sighted.

"But why does she stay in the water pavilion every fifteenth day?"

Even Nie Shen didn't know about it.After all, he only often haunts at night, and he can't always pay attention to things during the day.

Ye Shenyan suddenly interjected: "If it's not the water pavilion, could it... have something to do with the pond?"

"pond?"

Yun Ruochen said in surprise: "But the pond... has no spiritual energy, it's not a spiritual cave. It's not like Yanyu Lake in Xihua Palace, which can help me practice..."

Ye Shenyan patted his head and said, "Well, princess, I think so."

"Perhaps the deceased lady didn't like that small pond because of her practice... Maybe she loved the scenery there?"

"what?"

Yun Ruochen was stunned, and Nie Shen was also stunned, neither of them thought of this.

When he came back to his senses, Nie Shen pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What Shen Yan said is not unreasonable."

He explained to Yun Ruochen that Liang Lianqing was from Sichuan.Shuzhong is famous all over the world for its beautiful mountains and waters, which is very different from the scenery of the northern capital.Maybe it is really like what Ye Shenyan said, she only loves the water pavilion in the back garden, just because of the scenery that is slightly similar to the middle of Shu?
"Then...the fifteenth day of every month, how do you explain it?"

Yun Ruochen thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply decided not to. "It doesn't matter, let's go to Prince Jing's mansion to have a look now!"

Now?

It's already three o'clock, it's so late!

"Princess, let's try another day. You've been busy all day and you should take a break." Ye Shenyan knew that persuasion was useless, but he couldn't help it.

"It's just as busy another day."

Yun Ruochen sighed, rubbed his temples, and said, "This matter hangs in my heart, and I always have a bad feeling. Recently, this feeling has become stronger..."

It's obviously just a relic left by her mother, so it should have nothing to do with the current situation, but why does she always think about it?As a warlock, she understood that maybe this was something her innate spiritual sense had sensed somewhere?
"Ok."

Ye Shenyan was helpless and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​persuading her.

Yun Ruochen told Ji Jianing to stay in the inner hall, then changed into light night clothes, and left Chonghua Palace together with Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan.

Even though Prince Jing's Mansion has no owner to live in, it is still guarded and cleaned.In addition, a few days ago, Yun Ruochen planned to use this place as his future princess mansion, so the clan mansion and the Ministry of Industry also sent people to renovate it.

Therefore, even though it was late at night, there were still lights flickering in the mansion, and the yard was repaired in a decent way, so it didn't feel desolate.

The small pond in the back garden was not very big. It should be said that the whole Prince Jing's mansion was not too big, which showed that Prince Jing's status was quite ordinary at that time.Around the pond, there are some ordinary Taihu Lake stones, and there are several clusters of flowers and trees.As far as the scenery is concerned, it can't be called particularly elegant.

Standing by the pond, Yun Ruochen suddenly thought of that time when King Shu's men sneaked into the mansion and buried three dolls near the pond in order to cast a spell on their family.

King Shu died a few years ago, and has been completely forgotten by the dignitaries in the capital.Lian Yun Ruochen seldom thought of this uncle who had a lofty heart but was buried by his own ambition.

In fact... She doesn't hate King Shu, but has a little pity for him.

If King Shu was born as the heir to the royal family, how great would it be if her father could be an idle prince and each would get his own place?
"This is where the water pavilion was at that time."

Nie Shen stopped somewhere by the pool, which is now a rockery.

The three of them stood in front of the rockery and looked towards each other, trying to get into Liang Lianqing's perspective and understand her thoughts at that time.

On the opposite side is still a very ordinary scenery, a small bamboo forest that is not too sparse, a few pieces of Taihu Lake stones, and the half-curved moon in the sky is reflected by the water, fluttering.

Suddenly, Yun Ruochen's heart moved, as if he thought of something!
A half-foot-circle small compass appeared in her hand, with a faint yellow light shining.

Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan held their breath, watching her face become more solemn.
