By the middle of August, the weather had begun to cool, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were all falling.
Early in the morning, Princess Yun Jiao was sitting in a pavilion as she forcefully rubbed her handkerchief. The handkerchief had already been rubbed so many times that it seemed to be on the verge of breaking apart.
Cui Huan ran over. She bowed and whispered, "Princess, Uncle An has come."
She carefully looked at Yun Jiao's expression and continued, "The general has been sleeping in his bridal chamber for the past few days."
Yun Jiao raised her eyebrows and swept her with her gaze.
Cui Huan trembled, her heart thumped. Ever since Mu Yi'an confirmed the marriage, Yun Jiao's personality had become unsettled. Even now, it was the same. A single glance could kill.
"Do you think I'm still in the mood to care about this kind of disgusting thing? After searching for so many days, there was no news at all! " Ever since she came back from that day, her mind had been in turmoil, and even more so, she couldn't sleep soundly at night. She would often come here to hide, and last night, she had even been unable to sleep soundly.
As long as she closed her eyes, her mind would constantly replay the scene of her being captured. If it wasn't for Muyi, she might have already been tainted by someone.
She gripped her collar tightly, her face growing paler and paler. She was someone who wanted to enter the palace to be the Empress. If she lost her innocence, how could the Emperor still want her?
Cui Huan whispered, "Princess, don't worry. We've already suppressed that matter. Besides General Mu Yi An and Vice General Yu Heng, no one else knows."
Yun Jiao glared at her coldly. "How come no one doesn't know? Didn't you know? "
Cui Huan's heart skipped a beat. She knelt down and said loudly, "Princess, please forgive me. Your servant is very loyal to the Princess. I will never do anything that would betray you. Please forgive me."
Yun Jiao snorted, a hint of coldness flashing across her already pale lips: "This matter definitely cannot be spread out. If the emperor were to find out, I'd be done for."
"This servant knows. Princess, please rest assured. The General and Vice General Yuheng are people who keep their word. When the news spread out, the princess was on her way to Xiangyun Temple. The carriage broke, so she didn't say anything else."
Yun Jiao slowly exhaled. "Just who is it that wants to harm me like this? Previously, he used a handkerchief to frame me, and now he wants to kill me. Who is it!"
Cui Huan crawled to the side of Princess Yunjiao and gently thumped her legs. She whispered, "Princess, have you offended someone?"
Yun Jiao glanced at her.
Cui Huan quickly said, "Your servant said that the people in this world are narrow-minded people, could they be jealous of the princess' beauty and identity, so they did this?"
"Identity?" Yun Jiao's eyes lit up.
"Yes. The princess is originally a direct descendent of the palace, so her status is naturally different from others. And next year, you are going to the palace as well, so you are already the emperor's lover. With such a high position, it's hard to avoid being envied. Would they …"
Yun Jiao nodded. "That's right, that's right."
"Princess?"
"You go." Yun Jiao raised her head. "Go and get Yunshu for me."
Cui Huan was startled. "Princess, you suspect Lady Yunshu?"
Other than the daughter, Yun Jiao, who had ascended the throne being a princess, the rest of the daughters were not given titles. They all called each other 'ladies'.
"Hmph, go see me." Yun Jiao laughed coldly, "When did she have such good intentions?"
Cui Huan was startled, "Princess, you and Miss Yunshu are sisters. This is no small matter. Do you want to inform Your Highness?"
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
Cui Huan's face tilted to the side, and a clear five-finger mark appeared on the side of her face, "I am the direct daughter, she is just a slut that is born from my concubine. Why should she call me sister?"
"Go! Go get her! Tell her to send someone to search her residence. She must have a hundred flowers blooming!"
"Princess, that guard Zhou is a man …" Cui Huan still wanted to persuade him.
Yun Jiao kicked Cui Huan's body, "Cut the crap, what are you standing there for? If she dares to harm me, I will definitely not let her off lightly!"
"Yes, yes!" Cui Huan scrambled to escape.
Before long, Cui Huan had led Yun Shu over.
"Yunshu greets elder sister."
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
A crisp sound rang out.
Yun Shu fell to the ground. She covered her face and looked at Yun Jiao in disbelief. "Elder sister?"
"Pfft, who do you think you are calling big sister with that sinister little hoof? What right do you have to call me big sister!"
Yun Shu covered her face, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her sister, "May I ask, where did I do so badly that I angered my sister like this?"
"You should know in your heart what good deed you have done!" Yun Jiao stood up and looked at her coldly. "Yunshu, you don't have to pretend to be a good person in front of me. Once I find the evidence, you can't not admit it."
Yun Shu looked at her strangely. Suddenly, she thought of something. "Elder sister, you …"
She stood up and left.
"Cui Huan, stop her!"
Cui Huan stepped forward to stop Yun Shu. "Miss Yunshu, please wait for a moment. They will be back soon."
Yun Shu clenched her fists tightly. "May I ask what did I do wrong? If little sister did wrong, little sister is willing to kowtow and apologize, but little sister can't do this to me, little sister …"
"Stop acting so pitiful!" Yun Jiao coldly snorted, "Do you think that I don't know what you're thinking? You've always liked Mu Yi An, do you think that I don't know?"
What!
Yun Shu blushed, the redness reaching her ears in an instant. She raised her head in panic and said, "Sister, you can't speak nonsense!"
"When you went out with me, you always peeked at him. Do you think I didn't know?"
"Big sister must have seen wrongly!" Her head was bowed and her eyes were red.
"Wrong?" Otherwise, why do you think I didn't bring you out afterwards? " Yun Jiao pursed her lips, "A concubine like you wanting to steal from me? I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications!"
"Elder sister!"
"Daddy once told me that he wanted you to marry her. He even wanted me to get an imperial edict for you."
Yun Shu raised her head to look at her, panic flitted across her eyes. "This …"
"But I won't agree." She pursed her lips and smiled, "I won't give those I don't want to you."
Yun Shu clenched her hands tightly, annoyed. "Elder sister, your younger sister has not been engaged yet and is a pure and innocent young lady. Your words are too hurtful. You kept saying that I like him. I think that since elder sister likes him, she can only vent on me …"
"Shut up! "If you have a clear conscience, why be so anxious? Wait till I find the evidence, then we'll see how you refute me."
The sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard. The leader of the guards, Zhou Fei, quickly walked over. "Princess."
"Commander Zhou, how is the inspection? Have you found anything?"
Zhou Fei bowed. "Reporting to the princess, there is nothing."
"This is impossible!" Yun Jiao quickly walked over: "Commander Zhou, have you finished investigating? Really? "
"Reporting to Princess, there really isn't one." Zhou Fei swept a glance at Yunshu and said, "Miss Yunshu has already searched every inch of her room. There isn't any room the princess has mentioned that has a hundred flowers blooming."
Yun Jiao's brows tightly knitted. She found it hard to believe. Could she be wrong?
"Hundred Flowers Blooming?" Yun Shu looked at these burly men, her whole body was trembling. "Hundred Flowers blooming, does Big Sister want to find Hundred Flowers blooming in my room?"
"Could it be that big sister has forgotten? The three boxes that father brought back were all taken by big sister!"
"Shut up!" Yun Jiao turned around and slapped him.
Yun Shu turned her face to the side, her body swaying a little. Her lips pursed as she said, "If elder sister is satisfied, then Yun Shu will go back first."
Saying that, he wiped away his tears and ran away.
Zhou Fei sighed helplessly. "Princess, aren't you going too far this time?"
Yun Jiao glared at him. "Do you think I don't know what Yun Shu is thinking? "She just likes Muyi, I didn't wrongly accuse her!"
"But Yunshu is a girl after all, and what we're doing … "Will he …" When he first heard that it was Yunshu who had framed Yun Jiao, he did not think too much about it. On the spur of the moment, he led his men to investigate.
"You're still worried about her? If she has the ability, then she might as well hang herself with three feet of white silk. I don't believe that she's willing to do that!"
As soon as his voice fell, he heard someone shout, "Not good, not good! Miss Yunshu is hanging herself. Hurry, someone send someone here!"
