Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Whoosh whoosh.

Her trachea was like an old bellows, and every breath produced a sickly sound.

The people present were so frightened by the scene that they dared not move.

Fortunately, Li Heng caught the handkerchief.

He opened it hastily and his heart sank.

It's broken, really broken.

The craftsman who made this jade pendant passed away two years ago, and there is no one in the world who can remake the Double Moon Ring Star Jade Pendant.

The double-moon ring star that belonged to Ji Xingyao alone was destroyed just like that.

Li Heng clenched his fists, and his joints creaked.

He turned around and vowed to make Ling'er pay the price.

When Ji Xingyao saw Li Heng's sudden expression, she knew that Li Heng was angry and the consequences would be serious.

But this is not her fault, she won't take the blame.

"It's not me, it's her. She broke the jade pendant." Ji Xingyao took advantage of this gap and immediately pointed at Xiangyu.

Xiangyu, who was named, jumped visibly and shook her head hurriedly: "It's not me, Your Highness, it's really not me. It was clearly her who damaged the palace clothes of Mingyue Palace and threw herself into the river out of fear of punishment. The jade pendant, the jade pendant may have been deliberately broken before she jumped into the river."

Ji Xingyao finally understood what it meant to put the blame on someone and make the dead appear alive.

Okay, it’s just a fabrication, and I can’t make up more than you.

Ji Xingyao changed her mind in an instant. She sniffled, tears streaming down her face, and with the blood at the corner of her mouth and her wet body, she portrayed the role of an innocent victim to perfection.

"Your Highness, I'm innocent. I was walking down the street when she suddenly grabbed my clothes and insisted I take her to see the Imperial Concubine. I refused, and she got furious. She snatched the jade pendant from my hand, threw it to the ground, and then kicked me into the pool."

When Xiangyu heard her say this, she immediately knelt down and denied it in a loud voice: "I did not kick her. She is lying and wrongly accusing me."

The two palace maids each had their own story, and it was difficult to tell who was real and who was fake.

Li Heng lowered his eyes to look at the fragments in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Lock them up."

Ji Xingyao thought to herself that she was in trouble. Wen Yuan was waiting for her in Yonghe Palace. If she disappeared, Wen Yuan would definitely be worried.

Ji Xingyao ignored the pain all over her body and said to Li Heng, "Your Majesty, the Queen is waiting for me. Can I go back to the palace and tell her what happened?"

Li Heng's jaw tightened as he looked down at her, his voice as cold as ice: "Drag her away."

"Yes." The eunuchs dragged Ji Xingyao and Xiangyu out together.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please let me go. I am innocent, I am innocent." Xiangyu begged for mercy unwillingly all the way. Her voice was so loud that the eunuch covered her mouth and dragged her away forcibly.

Ji Xingyao didn't need them to drag her away, but she was soaked all over and had internal injuries from Li Heng's attacks, so her hands and feet were so weak that they almost didn't belong to her.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant. Please tell her that everything is fine with me and don't worry about me."

Li Heng knew that Ling'er was now a popular figure around Wen Yuan, but in this situation, Ling'er's words inevitably made people think that she was threatening Li Heng with the imperial concubine.

This palace maid is no ordinary person. If she stays with Wen Yuan, she might be a disaster.

In Yonghe Palace, Li Zhao was drinking porcini bone soup with Wen Yuan.

Ling'er was right. This soup was indeed delicious. It not only relieved the greasiness of the bone marrow, but also added the freshness of the mushrooms.

Wen Yuan found the food tasteless and drank absentmindedly. She felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart. She could only finish a small bowl and could not eat any more.

"Are you not feeling well? Why did you only eat so little?" Li Zhao saw that she looked listless and put down the bowl.

"I'm full." Wen Yuan wiped his mouth and asked Li Ma, "Is Ling'er back?"

Nanny Li replied, "Not yet."

Wen Yuan frowned and looked outside the door.

Li Zhao understood that Wen Yuan was waiting for Ling'er.

He said calmly: "Where did she go? Find her back."

"Yes." Nanny Li immediately sent someone out of the palace to find Ling'er.

Wen Yuan had lost interest in eating, so Li Zhao waved his hand and asked the palace maids to leave.

He filled a small bowl of hot soup and fed it to Wen Yuan's mouth, his tone filled with doting and coaxing: "Drink some more, even if you are not hungry, the child is hungry too."
