Chapter 181

In the Qixia Palace, Xue Yi had been watching Meng Ran walk in in a commoner dress, with a refined temperament, but her arm was broken. From Long Qingtian, she already knew what happened a year ago, and also knew about Meng Ran's past. The arm was broken because of her.

Now that the two are facing each other, there is no one else around, Meng Ran calmly greeted her, Xue Yi smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to be too polite."

"The princess called me here, why?"

Meng Ran asked straight to the point, looking twice at Xue Yi's injured arm.

"Sir, please take a seat."

Xue Yi pointed to the seat beside her, Meng Ran opened the corner of her robe and sat down calmly.

"Mister knows my identity now, don't you hate me?" Xue Yi also said directly.

Meng Ran's face was always refined and as calm as still water, and he replied unhurriedly: "It was not because of personal grievances that I didn't save the princess back then. Meng Ran's heart was only for the prince, so why would he hate it?"

"Could it be that the master hated me, Nalan Xueyi, just like everyone else in Prince Jing's Mansion, and that's why he didn't want to save me?"

Meng Ran chuckled, "It's true that Meng Ran once hated you too, but it's not because of this reason, it's because" he turned his head to face Xue Yi when he said, "It's because in my opinion, your Existence, whether there is hatred or not, will threaten the prince's future and decision."

Xue Yi smiled briefly, "Sir, you are quick to talk, so I won't beat around the bush. I invited you here today to ask about what happened to the little prince in the front barracks. Could you tell me?"

"What does the princess want to know?"

"I think Mr. must be clear in his heart."

Meng Ran smiled softly, "I haven't seen you for a year, and your thoughts are getting longer and longer. A woman's heart is too exquisite, and it may not be a good thing. Smart women will always have troubles."

Xue Yi smiled quietly, but did not answer.

Meng Ran paused, and then slowly said: "Princess probably wants to know about the incident where the little prince was seriously injured in the battlefield half a year ago?"

Yuki nodded.

The two looked directly at each other, Meng Ran thought for a while and told what happened half a year ago: "I hope the princess won't regret it after hearing it." He said so first, Xue Yi was startled, and then listened again He said: "In the battle with Beicang Kingdom half a year ago, the opponent who led the battle was Chu Zhouyue, the current Prince of Beicang. Although the young prince was brave and young, he refused to listen to me at that time. In that battle, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the bones were piled high. Only less than ten elite cavalry returned to the camp alive, but what we got was the news that the little prince died in battle. The prince's body has not been found, so there is only news of the little prince's serious injury from the front battlefield."

"What I didn't expect was that within half a month after the news was sent back to the Imperial Capital, the little princess brought her maid Baozhu and two weak girls to our military camp after all kinds of hardships. What I didn't even expect was that the weak girls would dare So big that regardless of the danger, she pretended to be a man and sneaked into the opponent's barracks, just because she didn't believe that her husband died in battle."

"At that time, we did not receive the news that the young prince was captured, and we also sent people to search secretly, but to no avail. We did not find any trace of the young prince in the other party's camp, but the woman insisted on going. Infiltrate the enemy camp."

"later."

After Meng Ran paused, Xue Yi's face became serious, "Later, my little sister found Chong Lian in Chu Zhouyue's barracks?"

Meng Ran continued: "We found it. The little prince was seriously injured and was secretly detained and guarded in the water prison of the military camp."

"It was only later that I found out that the reason why the little prince was secretly held by the captives was because of the golden knife dagger you gave him. During the battle on the battlefield, the dagger fell, and the little prince jumped off the horse regardless of the fight with Chu Zhouyue at that time. Going back to pick up the dagger, he was hit by the opponent's sword, surrounded by countless Beicang soldiers, and later was secretly imprisoned in the water prison by the enemy because Chu Zhouyue wanted to ask the little prince about the golden knife and dagger. It's a pity that the little prince is stubborn , and refused to say a single word from the moment he was imprisoned."

Xue Yi's face darkened, and what Meng Ran said echoed in her mind.

Chu Zhouyue cared very much about that golden knife and dagger, because in Beicang, that dagger has another meaning, that is, when a woman gives a holy portable dagger to a man, it represents a token of love.

Chu Zhouyue knew the dagger, she must know it was hers, and she would definitely ask about her.

But at that time, I gave the dagger to Chonglian, just wanting the gods to bless Chonglian on the battlefield, but I didn't expect
Seeing her pale face, Meng Ran paused, Xue Yi looked up and asked him, "What happened afterwards? How did Chong Lian escape from the enemy camp?"

Meng Ran's eyes flickered a few times, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "The little princess looks weak, but she made herself extraordinarily strong for the sake of the little prince. She not only got into the dungeon, but also sent out the news. Deploying a rescue is foolproof, but it's a pity."

Meng Ran paused, and Xue Yi felt faintly uneasy.

"It's a pity that when escaping from the water prison, the little prince who was dazed and seriously injured still insisted on taking back the golden knife and dagger. The little princess resolutely sneaked into the big tent and found the golden knife and dagger, but unfortunately she was discovered. In desperation, I hid the dagger, and was captured by Beicang soldiers, and I had to leave first with the seriously injured little prince."

"Later, when we sneaked into the other side's camp to rescue her again, Beicang soldiers not only branded her, and burned her with an ugly scar on her face, but even—"

When Meng Ran said this, his tone was choked and hoarse, and Xue Yi had almost guessed what he was going to say next, and his ten fingers unconsciously clenched into fists slowly.

"When I arrived, the three prison soldiers were doing all kinds of animals/beasts to her, but the strong and weak woman still held her breath and told the place where the dagger was hidden. Be sure to let me take it away. back."

With a trembling of Xue Yi's hand, he knocked down the teacup on the table, the tea overflowed, and a drop of water dripped along the edge of the table.

There is a delicate and fresh face in my mind, a pair of big eyes that look like crescent buds when I smile, such a beautiful and pure face, what kind of nightmare is it for every woman to experience such torture that would make life worse than death? !

And this nightmare is all because of that dagger!
If she knew that the golden knife and dagger brought harm, she would definitely not give it to him.

I only heard Meng Ran continue to whisper in my ear: "Back to the barracks, to my surprise she didn't seek death, please pray that I don't tell the seriously ill little prince what she suffered in the other party's prison, those days, she Day and night, she took care of the little prince with nothing to undress. The military camp had limited doctors and medicinal materials. For half a month, she went deep into the mountains behind the military camp alone to look for red ginseng to nourish the little prince. I told the little prince everything, but she disappeared that night."

"When the little prince found her, she was jumping off the cliff to commit suicide."

"Fortunately, she arrived in time and saved a life. When she returned to the barracks, she wanted to escape several times, but after the little prince threatened her with her life, she gave up the idea of ​​seeking death, but she never spoke again, and never approached anyone again. "

"Meng Ran said what the princess wanted to know, and Meng Ran resigned."

Meng Ran stood up after finishing speaking, and Yu Ran left Qixia Hall.

Abi, who had been behind the screen all this time, came out, hearing what she said just now, and was really shocked in her heart.

Xue Yi stared at the setting sun and sunset outside the window, and said softly: "Perhaps, I am really a evil star descending to earth."

Abi looked at her worriedly, Xueyi looked at Abi and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, what happened can never be undone, but you don't have to live in pain, my self-blame can't make up for anything." She held Abi's hand and said, "Let us unite together and pray to the gods on her behalf."

Abi nodded vigorously with a smile.

Xue Yi thought in her heart, one day, being as kind as a little girl will surely touch Chong Lian's heart.

The two looked at each other, and at this moment, six loud and heavy Jingyang bells and drums sounded suddenly from the direction of the Temple of Heaven in the harem, echoing buzzingly over the entire majestic imperial court.

Both of them were startled, and doubts came to their hearts.

"The sound of the bell is someone's funeral?!"

The Jingyang bell struck six times, indicating that an important person in the palace had passed away, both of them were wondering who it was, the little eunuch who was already in green clothes hurriedly walked into the Qixia Palace and bowed down.

"What's going on?" Xue Yi asked.
