Chapter 264: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 7
Yu Yao was sent back to Fangfeiyuan for no apparent reason.
She was confused all the way.
Xiangling was also stunned when she saw the girl being sent back.
The girl clearly went to the front yard for quite a long time. I thought she would stay there to rest. Why was she sent back so late?
Could it be that the girl angered the prince?
"Girl, you..."
Xiangling stepped forward, wanting to ask what was going on.
Yu Yao knew what she wanted to ask and raised her hand to interrupt her, "Xiangling, don't ask anymore. Go to sleep and don't worry about me."
She herself was confused and didn't know how to explain it.
She needs to sort it out.
"Yes."
Xiangling thought the girl was in a bad mood, so she shut up tactfully and quickly left.
Yu Yao sat alone by the window, looking at the bright moon, and the scene that happened in the front yard emerged in her mind.
She remembered Xuanyuan Cheng asking her if she was willing to serve him.
She replied at the time, "I am originally the prince's."
"I am asking you whether you are willing or not. It has nothing to do with your status or external factors."
Yu Yao remembered that Xuanyuan Cheng let her go before she could even answer.
In other words, Xuanyuan Cheng must have learned something during this process.
Or did the man think she was unwilling and didn't want to force her, so he sent her back?
The more Yu Yao thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.
"Everything, is this what I think?" she asked in her heart.
The system nodded, which was considered as her answer.
it is as expected.
Yu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt speechless.
this man...
She rubbed her face ungracefully, then washed up and went to bed.
Although it was late at night, some people were still awake.
Inside Wanxiang Hall.
Wu Lingyan sat alone in front of the window, playing with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hand, her face extremely gloomy.
I originally thought that the bitch Yu Yao would be the same as me, but not long after entering the palace, I was summoned to the front yard by the prince.
"A lowly dancer from the Western Regions must have used some shameless means to seduce the prince."
The jealousy in Wu Lingyan's heart burned like a raging fire, and she cursed angrily.
"Bang!" The sound of jade breaking broke the silence of the night.
Wu Lingyan's face looked extremely ugly, and she threw the jade hairpin in her hand hard to the ground, with fragments flying everywhere.
She stood up, walked to the table, picked up a teacup and threw it down hard.
"Crackling."
The porcelain in the room seemed to have become the victim of her emotional outburst and was shattered all over the floor.
Why, why, why?
Although she did not come from a high-class family, she was at least the daughter of a minor official in the capital. She had a dignified and beautiful appearance, was proficient in poetry and songs, and was personally selected by the empress dowager and sent to the palace.
She is not even as good as a lowly dancer from the Western Regions.
At this moment, the little maid Xiangcai hurried in and said breathlessly: "Miss Wu, Miss Yu is back."
Wu Lingyan glanced at Xiangcai and scolded angrily, "Just come back, why are you yelling?"
Xiangcai was already used to Wu Lingyan's attitude. She carefully avoided the porcelain on the ground, walked forward, and whispered, "Miss, I heard that the front yard didn't call for water."
Not asking for water means no sleeping with you.
Wu Lingyan was stunned. She looked at Xiangcai in confusion, "Is this true?"
"I gave some money to the eunuch in the front yard, and he said that Miss Yu was chatting with the prince in the yard and didn't even enter the house, so naturally she didn't ask for water."
Xiangcai hurriedly told everyone what she had heard.
When Wu Lingyan heard this, her expression changed from gloomy to joyful, "Humph, I told you, the prince doesn't like anyone, how could he possibly like that bitch?"
Knowing that Yu Yao did nothing in the front yard, she naturally would not continue to be angry.
But then, doubts began to arise in my heart again.
The prince is in his prime, a normal man with full of vigor and vitality. How could he call someone over and then do nothing?
Although she was very jealous of Yu Yao, she also looked down on her identity as a dancer from the Western Regions.
But I have to admit that bitch is really beautiful.
She thought of the prince's constant battles on the battlefield, and her heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that the prince...is he injured somewhere and is dying?"
Xiangcai glanced at her, listened to what she said, and didn't know what she was thinking.
The palace garden is full of colorful flowers and the fragrance of birds singing.
However, the beautiful scenery could not cover up the whispering sounds.
The maids were pruning the branches while discussing in low voices.
"Have you heard? Last night, the Western Region dancer was called to the front yard to serve the prince!"
"Really? Then won't she be able to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix?"
"Humph, flew onto the branch? I think it was falling off the cliff. The prince never touches women. I heard that she didn't even enter the prince's room last night and was sent back." "Tell me, how can the prince, a normal man full of blood, bear not touching women for years?"
"I heard that the prince was ambushed by the enemy on the battlefield and was injured in a vital part, so..."
A brave maid lowered her voice and revealed her guess mysteriously.
These rumors spread quickly in the palace like wildfire.
In Fangfei Garden.
When Yu Yao heard the discussions of the servants outside, her expression became very strange.
If this rumor reached Xuanyuan City's ears, the expression would probably be very interesting.
I don't know which servant spread the news, but he's not afraid of getting his head chopped off.
Xiangling was waiting by the side, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Miss, do you think the prince is..."
He looked as if he wanted to say something but was unable to continue.
Yu Yao raised her eyes to look at him, knowing what she wanted to say, and explained with a smile: "The prince is in good health, there is no problem."
"The prince is in good health, so why is he..."
Before Xiangling finished speaking, Yu Yao interrupted her, "We have no right to interfere with what people outside are saying. Remember not to gossip about it. If it gets to the prince's ears, I can't protect you..."
Xiangling's face turned pale, and she realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly shut up.
Front yard study.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat in front of the desk, holding a military book in his hand, but he had no intention of reading it, and his face was as gloomy as water.
I just didn't want to force her last night, but I didn't expect that those servants would think that he had a hidden illness, and the news became a hot topic.
At this moment, the guard Dongfeng hurried in. He glanced at Xuanyuan Cheng in front of the desk and said respectfully, "Master, there is a rumor about you circulating in the palace recently..."
Before Dong Feng could finish his words, Xuanyuan Cheng interrupted him coldly: "Investigate! I want to see who is spreading this nonsense in the palace."
His voice was extremely cold, and contained a strong sense of murderous intent.
This incident affected not only his reputation and face, but also the stability of the entire dynasty.
"Yes."
When Dongfeng heard this, he knew that his master already knew about this. He responded respectfully and hurriedly retreated.
Dong Feng was very fast and arrested all the maids and servants who were discussing the matter in private.
Everyone in the palace felt insecure and no one dared to discuss the matter anymore.
Rumors were also stopped.
Yu Yao didn't say anything after hearing this.
Xiangling was filled with fear, but fortunately her master reminded her, otherwise, she would have been caught by Dongfeng like those people.
After some investigation, Dongfeng finally found the source of the rumor - Wanxiangtang.
It turned out that Wu Lingyan saw Miss Yu being sent back at night and wondered if the prince had a hidden illness.
The rumor happened to be overheard by the maid Xiangcai, and spread out.
Front yard study.
"My Lord, we have already found out that the rumor was spread by Miss Wu's personal maid Xiangcai."
Dongfeng presented the investigation results and reported them respectfully.
Xuanyuan Cheng took it, opened it, took a look, and quickly closed it.
He looked at Dong Feng and ordered coldly: "The maid Xiang Cai is being steamed to death. Order everyone in the palace to go and watch the execution, especially her master Wu Lingyan."
Dongfeng knew that his master wanted to make an example of him, so he responded respectfully and quickly retreated.
On this day, a depressing atmosphere permeated the palace, and Xuanyuan Cheng ordered the maid Xiangcai to be steamed to serve as a warning to others.
In Wanxiang Hall, Wu Lingyan sat on the couch, holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand, her face pale.
She just muttered it in the room, but she didn't know that Xiangcai heard it and spread it.
She was very afraid that this matter would implicate herself.
At this moment, a eunuch holding a dustpan walked into Wanxiang Hall. He glanced at Wu Lingyan, whose face was pale, and said in a cold voice, "Miss Wu, let's go. The prince specifically asked you to watch the execution."
Wu Lingyan looked up at the eunuch, and became even more frightened when she heard him say that the prince wanted to watch the execution herself.
But he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly packed up and went to the execution ground.
In Fangfei Garden, Yu Yao and her maid Xiangling also hurried to the execution ground.
"Master, this... this is too cruel."
On the way to the execution ground, Xiangling whispered fearfully.
Yu Yao knew that Xuanyuan City wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. This was the ancient times with strict hierarchy, not the modern world with freedom of speech.
It is normal for a maid to end up like this since she dared to spread such rumors and ruin the prince's reputation.
"Don't talk, let's go." She said with a frown.
Xiangling glanced at her master and dared not say anything more.
The master and servant soon arrived at the execution ground.
On the execution ground, a huge steamer was bubbling with steam, and there was a blazing fire underneath.
Coriander was tied up and lying helplessly on the steamer, her eyes filled with fear and despair, she kept struggling for mercy.
