The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned
Chapter 42 Xie Lin suddenly wakes up
Meng Xuanhe returned to the West Pavilion and began to study Li Chuan's jade pendant.
"Princess, aren't you going to sleep yet?" Xie Lin was already lying on the bed, and Meng Xuanhe lit a candle and examined the jade pendant in the dim light of the candle.
"Well, you go to sleep first." Meng Xuanhe replied to him seriously.
It was a little chilly at night, and the dew was even deeper. Meng Xuanhe was only wearing a thin skirt, and Xie Lin stood up and took out the long sleeves to put on her.
When he accidentally saw Meng Xuan and the jade pendant in his hand, his forehead began to ache slightly.
A cold hand suddenly grabbed Meng Xuanhe's neck, blocking her breathing. The person who was strangling her seemed to hate her very much and wanted to kill her completely.
Meng Xuanhe turned his head and saw Xie Lin's eyes were red in the haze. His eyes were gloomy and filled with a bone-chilling coldness. The cold and soft cloud satin brocade robe looked out of place on him, cruel and treacherous.
"Xiao...Xiaoqi?" Meng Xuanhe uttered the two words with difficulty. The lack of blood supply to the brain made her consciousness increasingly depressed.
The word "Xiao Qi" brought Xie Lin back to his senses, and he let her go as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Meng Xuanhe fell softly to the ground. Xiao Qi came to his senses and hugged her in his arms.
"Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qi was so anxious that he was about to cry. He had no memory of what had just happened.
Meng Xuanhe did not respond to Xie Lin. Her face was blue and purple. She could not speak at all and was struggling to breathe. If Xie Lin had pinched her for another minute, she would have died.
There was such a strong murderous aura and hatred just now. If she was not mistaken, the person in front of her was not Xiao Qi, but Xie Lin.
How could Xie Lin suddenly wake up?
Meng Xuanhe held down the jade pendant with his hand and put it into his sleeve. The jade pendant was flashing with white light. Could it be that this jade pendant was the key to unlocking the golden and silver butterfly Gu?
Without giving Meng Xuanhe time to think, she fell into Xie Lin's arms and fainted.
When she woke up again, Li Qing was waiting by the bed to take her pulse.
It was really a case of one problem after another. Before she could figure out how to deal with Li Chuan's issue, Yan Cheng'an snatched her jade pendant away.
But this kid still didn't go back, and they were the only ones who knew about this. She didn't want to put Yan Liujing in danger and involve the entire Duke of Yan's Mansion.
"Oh, do I really have to go and return it by myself?" Meng Xuanhe was worried about the jade pendant outside the window. With her strength, she would probably be captured alive by the Wuxiang people before she could get close to Lichuan.
But this jade pendant was in her hand, and she always felt uneasy. Li Chuan must have found that the jade pendant had fallen into the princess's mansion, not to mention Xie Lin, who was a pretty little pitiful boy without the jade pendant. With the jade pendant, he became a random bomb, and no one knew when it would explode.
It's death anyway, Meng Xuanhe is really worried.
Since this jade pendant is related to the existence of the gold and silver butterfly Gu, Li Chuan would not have made any move. Meng Xuanhe was thinking this when Lin Zhao's shrill voice sounded outside the hall.
"Princess, please go to the palace. The emperor is waiting for you." Lin Zhao looked at her with some suspicion.
The matter of the golden and silver butterfly Gu was a secret, so Lin Zhao naturally didn't know about it. But the princess had just been summoned yesterday, and she was going to the palace again today, so Lin Zhao was also trying to figure out what the emperor meant.
Meng Xuanhe entered the palace again, knowing that this matter must be related to Li Chuan. As expected, she saw Li Chuan as soon as she arrived at the imperial study. Li Chuan smiled coldly, with mockery in his eyes.
Meng Xuanhe ignored her and bowed to Meng Ziyan.
"I heard from the goddess that her jade pendant fell in the princess's mansion. Is that true?" Originally, Meng Ziyan didn't want to bother with Li Chuan, let alone such a trivial matter as the jade pendant.
But Li Chuan would rather tell everyone that the jade pendant can control the gold and silver butterfly Gu, and take the jade pendant back from Meng Xuanhe.
Meng Ziyan connected the previous gold and silver butterfly Gu with this jade pendant, and couldn't help but doubt Meng Xuanhe's words yesterday, so he summoned Meng Xuanhe.
"It is true, but the goddess attacked my princess's mansion at night and was stopped by the guards." Meng Xuanhe originally wanted to return the jade pendant to her, but now she reported it to Meng Ziyan, obviously not wanting to let her off easily.
Meng Xuanhe tolerated her again and again for the sake of the plot. But she was not a good girl, and if Li Chuan pushed her too far, Meng Xuanhe would not back down.
"A night raid on the princess's mansion? Is this true?" Meng Ziyan frowned. Although he was incompetent and did not care about state affairs, he attached great importance to the reputation of the Southern Meng royal family. Li Chuan's behavior was a blatant provocation, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
Li Chuan's heart skipped a beat when he was questioned.
"The matter of the golden and silver butterfly Gu concerns the lifeblood of our Wuxiang clan. Li Chuan dare not let it wander outside, not to mention that Li Chuan found the person who was poisoned in the princess's mansion." Li Chuan gritted his teeth and told him about Xie Lin's incident that day.
"There is a man in the west pavilion of the princess's mansion who is infected with the golden and silver butterfly Gu. Li Chuan cannot be wrong. If the emperor does not believe it, just bring him here."
A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Ziyan's eyes when he heard this. If what Lichuan said was true, then what Meng Xuanhe said yesterday was deceiving the emperor.
So Meng Ziyan looked at the princess with increasingly cold eyes. He doted on this imperial sister so much, was she going to betray him too? The hand pressing on the dragon chair was throbbing with veins, almost crushing the chair.
"The goddess is really sharp-tongued. The person living in the West Pavilion is my most beloved lover, how could I not know that he was poisoned by the golden and silver butterfly Gu." Meng Xuanhe felt vaguely uneasy. She didn't expect that Xie Lin was really seen by Li Chuan when he left the house that day.
"Who is right and who is wrong? Just bring the mistress here." It was obvious that Meng Ziyan had become suspicious of Meng Xuanhe and was eager to see him. The temptation of the golden and silver butterfly Gu to people was indeed extraordinary.
"Royal brother, the concubine had a brain disease, and his eyes have just recovered..." Meng Xuanhe spoke slowly, wanting to hide the matter from Xie Lin, but was interrupted by Meng Ziyan.
He seemed to be angry at Meng Xuanhe's deception, and he threw the memorial on the table at Meng Xuanhe. Although the memorial was not heavy, the force was strong, and Meng Xuanhe's waist was hurt by the hit, and he knelt down directly.
"Royal brother, don't believe the witch's one-sided words, just bring the person here." Meng Xuanhe knew that he had lost trust, and delaying any further would only make her more angry. He hoped in his heart that Xie Lin would not be exposed.
Lin Zhao received the order from Meng Ziyan and went directly to the West Pavilion to search for people. When he took Xie Lin away, he looked at him deeply. He didn't expect that the emperor would meet him, a plaything who had basically never stepped out of the West Pavilion.
Xie Lin struggled at first, unwilling to leave the West Pavilion. But there were so many guards that his resistance was futile, and he was forced into a carriage and rushed to the palace.
Meng Xuanhe knelt on the ground feeling uneasy, but Li Chuan seemed to have won the game and watched leisurely.
"The goddess Li Chuan broke into the princess's mansion at night and insulted the reputation of the Nanmeng royal family. Kneel down and wait for the arrival of others to decide your fate." Meng Ziyan glanced at her with a cold gaze, causing Li Chuan's smile to freeze on her face.
He had no interest in Lichuan in the first place. Although he now had doubts about his own royal sister, it was not the turn of the Wuxiang people to be proud.
Lin Zhao took Xie Lin directly to the imperial study. Looking at the princess kneeling on the ground, even he was shocked.
Meng Xuanhe looked at Xie Lin and winked at him, hoping that he would not say too much and not offend Meng Ziyan.
