Ji Hanyue was wearing a bright red phoenix robe and standing on the highest platform of Linyuan Pavilion.
There was a fence behind her and a deep lake below her. Her fingers were clenched tightly around a hairpin with blood stains on it. The phoenix crown on her head was lost somewhere and her beautiful hair was scattered in the air, making her face look as pale as snow and in a state of disarray!
A eunuch, along with several palace guards, blocked her way.
"According to the order of the Crown Prince, arrest the assassin, regardless of life or death! Ji Hanyue, why don't you surrender!" The eunuch shouted loudly in a shrill voice with an expressionless face.
The former gentleness, thoughtfulness, and loyalty until death have turned into a disregard for life and death
"I didn't assassinate the prince!" Ji Hanyue raised her head abruptly, trying to calm her trembling and calm herself down, "I want to see the prince!"
Today is the day she gets married into the Eastern Palace. The guard of honor escorts the sedan chair as it enters the Eastern Palace through the main gate, and the whole country celebrates together.
Because of the grand ceremony, she was sent to the bridal chamber. Her cousin Ji Youran brought her a cup of tea. After drinking it, she felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she saw the prince lying on the bed covered in blood, covering his chest with his hands and staring at her angrily, while she was holding a bloody hairpin in her hand.
The Eight-Treasure Phoenix Hairpin, the hairpin worn by the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace on her formal dress!
Someone shouted "Assassin", and a large number of guards rushed in. The palace servants scattered. In panic, she was pulled out by Xie Yu, the maid who came with her as a dowry. When they were chased here, Xie Yu was nowhere to be found. She was the only one left, with pursuers in front of her and no way to retreat behind her.
Ji Hanyue gritted her teeth, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth, and reiterated: "I did not assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Sister, you assassinated the prince, and I can testify. If it weren't for me, His Royal Highness the Prince would be dead now!" A proud voice came from the side, it was Ji Youran.
Seeing Ji Youran walking towards her with a smile, Ji Hanyue's pupils suddenly dilated, and her head felt as if it had been hit hard. At this point, what else did she not understand? She swallowed the blood in her throat, and her eyes were almost spitting fire: "Ji Youran, are you hurting me?"
She fell asleep after drinking the tea that Ji Youran brought her!
"Yes, it was me!" Ji Youran looked at Ji Hanyue, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. He sighed hypocritically and said, "Sister, don't blame me. It was the prince who asked me to do this! You blocked the prince's way. Things are different now. Your father is gone too. What use does the prince have for you?"
"Where... where's my father?" The hairpin in Ji Hanyue's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and her whole body was trembling. She didn't want to pursue the prince's betrayal at the moment, she just hoped that her father was okay!
Her mother died early, and her father was the only support for her and her sister.
"Your father was shot to death by arrows for conspiracy with the rebels. When you were trying to kill the crown prince and were escaping, you accidentally fell into Linyuan Pavilion. Your sister was also killed on the way to the rebellion. All of your family members were conspirators for rebellion, so you all died."
Ji Youran giggled, with a smug smile in the corners of his eyes
, this moment was destined to be the day of Ji Hanyue’s death, and she was in such a good mood that she didn’t want to pretend anymore.
Ji Hanyue's feet went weak and one of her feet fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp sound of bones hitting each other. She twitched in pain, but what hurt more was her heart, as if all her internal organs were crushed!
There is no greater pain in life than this!
He raised his head and looked at Ji Youran's mean and vicious face, and the voice almost spilled out from between his teeth: "Why... why?"
Slowly walking over to Ji Hanyue who was kneeling on the ground, Ji Youran's eyes were as charming as silk, and she smiled more and more proudly with her hands covering her mouth: "The prince never liked you. He was attracted by the military power in your father's hands. Your father was ungrateful and unwilling to give the military power to the prince as a dowry, so why should he keep a useless Yue family?"
Ji Hanyue's eyes suddenly tightened!
Her father once hinted that the prince had ulterior motives in marrying her, and that if she did not want to marry, he could try to mediate before the formal marriage. However, she never really listened to him and was not at all wary of the prince.
She had misjudged the person and endangered the lives of her father and sister. Every breath she took was painful as if it was cutting her heart.
"Look, what is this?" Ji Youran enjoyed Ji Hanyue's pain and giggled.
He slowly raised his sleeves, and with the crisp sound of jade clashes, a blood-red bracelet appeared in Ji Hanyue's eyes. The bracelet was very delicate, and it was adorned with two teardrop-shaped emeralds, which looked both unique and delicate. "This was cut off from your sister's wrist. I had someone throw your sister's body into a mass grave. It's probably been eaten and torn to pieces by wild dogs by now!"
These were the relics left by her mother. One was given to her and the other was given to her sister Ji Yanyue.
"Yan Yue!" She roared in a hoarse voice. Her sister, such a well-behaved girl, ended up with such a tragic end.
"Ji Hanyue, I have been the prince's person for a long time, did you know that?"
"The order for your father to be shot to death was issued by the crown prince himself. I took the letter written by the crown prince in imitation of your handwriting and tricked your father into the crown prince's study. Your father was quite strong. He was shot like a hedgehog but was not dead yet. He died only after his head was chopped off. From now on, this title belongs to my father, and I am the eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion..."
…
Every word cruelly described the bloody scene of the death of a loved one, like a sharp steel knife, fiercely cutting Ji Hanyue's heart!
The two of them had imitated each other’s handwriting, and thus they could write each other’s handwriting very vividly, even down to the smallest habits.
I originally thought that this was just a little pleasure within the boudoir, but I didn't expect it to cost my father's life!
The pain in his heart almost exploded, and his limbs were all cramping. Ji Hanyue stared at Ji Youran, his eyes were like dripping blood, cruel and sinister!
At this moment, Ji Youran seemed to have become the Prince Pei
Luo An's hypocritical face, she pressed the ground with her hand, and suddenly stood up from her half-kneeling body. She rushed over and hugged Ji Youran, and jumped down with Ji Youran in her arms without hesitation.
Even if she dies, she will drag them to hell with her!
The general's daughter, even though she was usually kept in seclusion, was much more agile than other weak girls.
But no matter how fast she was, the guards were even faster. One guard rushed over, grabbed Ji Youran's feet and pulled her back.
Another person held down Ji Hanyue's hand and bent it hard. In severe pain, Ji Hanyue's hand bones were broken, and then they pushed him out fiercely.
Under the fence was the cold lake water, and in my ears was Ji Youran's sharp and crazy scream: "Pull this bitch up and cut her into pieces."
Although Ji Youran had just escaped death, the fence had severely scratched a piece of skin on his cheek, and blood was dripping all over his face, making him look like a ghost!
"I swear in blood, and curse you!"
Ji Hanyue murmured, biting down hard, the root of his tongue was instantly severed, blood gushed out from the corners of his lips, and he stared at the tall Linyuan Pavilion until his death.
The bright red wedding dress spread out and fell into the dark and cold lake water, a disaster that was catastrophic...
In a tiger-fang tent somewhere on the border, a herald officer hurried in and handed over the letter in his hand respectfully: "Sir, there is a change in the capital!"
The guard took the letter and spread it out behind the large tiger table.
A slender hand reached out and pressed on the letter. The joints were sharp and the skin was as white as jade. After a long while, a cold voice came out: "Prepare for the trip. It's time to return to Beijing!"
Flames shot up into the sky, almost suffocating the people burned. When I looked up, I saw flames everywhere, shooting up into the sky. A wooden beam fell down right in front of me.
She slowly opened her eyes, and everything in front of her was hazy. The red fire seemed like a blood-stained bridal chamber deep in her memory. For a moment, she didn't know where she was...
"Miss, hurry up!" A figure wrapped in a warm quilt pushed the door open and rushed in, pulled up the girl who fell to the ground, turned around and rushed out.
Ji Hanyue was pulled and rushed out of the door involuntarily. Pillars fell down one after another behind him, and a flame enveloped the desolate garden.
Large amounts of memories rushed into her mind crazily. Her feet went weak and she fell heavily to the ground, holding her chest and coughing violently.
Qu Moying, Ji Hanyue's cousin, is the fourth daughter of Qu Zhizhen, the Minister of Works. She was treated harshly by Yu, who was promoted from a concubine to the wife. When she was a child, she fell ill and had no one to take care of her. She had a fever and burned her eyes. She has been raised on a farm outside the city since she was a child. A few days later, it was Madam Qu's birthday, so Madam Qu specially brought her back.
Unexpectedly, just two days after returning home, the courtyard where I lived caught fire.
"Miss, Miss, are you okay?" The person in front threw away the wet quilt, turned around and asked anxiously. It was her maid Yuchun.
