Chapter 455

Leng Ruqing got up and put on her clothes.

"I can't sleep. Go to the backyard. I have to meet Lin Xiuyi again."

"My slave is with you."

Asang put a white cloak on her and followed Leng Ruqing out of the door.

It was especially quiet in the palace tonight, and there seemed to be far fewer maids and servants.

The two of them walked all the way to the backyard, but they were not blocked like last time. When they arrived, they saw that the door of Lin Xiuyi's room was open.

Several servants were carrying a man slowly out of the house.

"What are you doing?"

Leng Ruqing suddenly spoke.

Several people were startled, their hands loosened, and the person they were carrying fell to the ground.

"King...Princess!?"

Leng Ruqing strode closer, using the weak candlelight to see clearly the people on the ground.

It's Lin Xiuyi!

"What's up with her?"

Several servants rubbed their hands and looked at each other.

Just when he didn't know what to say, there was a rush of footsteps from the side.

The housekeeper trotted up to a few people and was the first to scold them.

"How did you do it! You were in a panic and disturbed the princess. Can you handle it?!"

As he spoke, he stood in front of Leng Ruqing, blocking her view of Lin Xiuyi.

"The servants did something improper and frightened the princess. They really deserve to die. Please forgive me, princess."

Leng Ruqing slowly withdrew his gaze.

"What's going on with Lin Xiuyi?"

"It's sad to say that Princess Lin committed suicide in the house last night. She probably knew that the prince was going to send her to the Ministry of Punishment for execution, so she took the lead in committing suicide out of fear of crime."

With that said, the housekeeper waved his hand, and several people quickly carried Lin Xiuyi's body and left in a hurry.

Leng Ruqing looked at the backs of the people, not knowing what they were thinking, and remained silent for a long time.

"princess?"

The housekeeper spoke slowly, bringing her back from her thoughts.

Leng Ruqing turned her eyes and looked at him.

The butler gave a respectful smile.

"Princess, the prince said that he has a village outside Beijing, which is very suitable for recuperation. Since you are not in good health now, you can go to the village to stay for a while. The carriage is ready. How about we set off immediately?"

Leng Ruqing seemed to have not recovered yet.

"Where's Murong Yao?"

"Your Majesty has something important to do. I will naturally go see you when I'm done."

"Then I'll go get my luggage packed."

"The luggage has been packed, you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Leng Ruqing slowly lowered her eyes and followed the housekeeper outside.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to think of something.

"Wait a minute, there is one important thing I haven't brought with me."

"What's important? My slave asked someone to..."

"You wait here."

Before he could finish speaking, Leng Ruqing suddenly turned around and rushed towards her yard.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then could only follow.

As soon as he arrived at Leng Ruqing's yard, he saw her walking out holding something.

"Let's go."

The housekeeper took a closer look and found that it was a tiger head hat. The tiger pattern on it was embroidered crookedly, which was not very beautiful.

The carriage was parked at the back door.

Leng Ruqing took Asang and got into the carriage.

With a jolt, the carriage moved slowly.

Leng Ruqing sat in the carriage, wrapped in a cloak and holding the unfinished tiger head hat in her arms, saying nothing.

Asang felt a little emotional.

"Princess, His Highness Prince Rui must be worried that you will be in danger, so he asked you to leave the capital. The prince treats you very well."

"Although His Royal Highness Prince Rui is very busy these days, he comes to see you every day. Sometimes when you fall asleep, he tells the slaves not to disturb you, and then leaves after a while."

"You don't have to worry too much about the heirloom this time. I accidentally heard what Fei Shao and His Highness Prince Rui said before, saying that our prince would also send troops to help His Highness Prince Rui."

Leng Ruqing finally reacted.

"What did you say?"

She looked a little excited: "My father is here too?!"

"Yes, I heard that they are still coming with troops. They should be here to support His Highness Prince Rui..."

"No, no!"

Leng Ruqing suddenly shouted loudly.

Asang was a little confused.

"King, princess?"

Leng Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head, bit her arm, and let out a whimper like a small animal.

Asang panicked.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Asang..."

Leng Ruqing grabbed her wrist, her fingers were surprisingly cold.

"He lied to me...he's lying to me!"

"Lin Xiuyi did not commit suicide, she was killed."

Although the light was dim at the time, she could still see clearly.

The marks on Lin Xiuyi's neck were not caused by Bai Lingle at all, but by someone pinching her.

After practicing martial arts for many years, she can still see this.

In other words, Lin Xiuyi was killed by Murong Yao!

She had some doubts about Lin Xiuyi's remarks. She originally wanted to ask her for clarification, but she was silenced.

If Murong Yao had no evil intentions, why would he kill her? !

This realization was like a thunderbolt, and she still hasn't come back to her senses.

Just hearing Asang's words, she suddenly figured it out.

If she had a miscarriage or even died, on the surface, the relationship between Murong Yao and her father would indeed become cold.

But what if her father thought that Murong Heng did all this?

So who is most beneficial?

Her father held her in his hands and loved her very much. If he knew that his beloved little daughter was being persecuted like this in the capital, he might lose his mind and hate Murong Heng.

Murong Yao...

Taking advantage of her!

She couldn't let her father get involved in this life and death dispute and become Murong Yao's pawn!

"However, Lin Xiuyi is in Prince Rui's Mansion. Who dares to touch her except His Highness Prince Rui..."

Asang also noticed something was wrong and spoke in a daze.

She looked at Leng Ruqing blankly, and saw her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tear fell heavily.

More tears followed.
