C108 (1/2)
In just one breath's time, Song Yunqian had rushed back to the Duke Palace. When he rushed into the Zhi Yi Lu, it was completely dark inside and his servants were still inside. He stood for a moment in the empty room. Hasn't she come back yet?
He rushed out the door and shouted, ”Someone, come!”
After a while, all the lights in the manor lit up. The servants in the mansion looked at Song Yunqian with their mouths agape as they searched through the rooms like a madman.
Even Ke Er's residence was no exception.
Ke Er had not woken up yet, she was already dressed in her clothes, and asked anxiously: Senior Brother, what happened?
Song Yunqian supported her shoulders and asked anxiously: Where's Wen Yi? Did Wen Yi come over? ”
Ke Er asked: ”Big sister, you're back? When did you get back? I'm not up yet. ”
Song Yunqian sighed and ran out again. Finally, he had searched through the entire palace, and even called out to the Moran Pavilion where the Imperial Concubine Rou was staying. He had not gone in except for Chen Yuzhu's room.
His heart raced as he stood in front of Chen Yuzhu's pavilion. Someone's head was shaking inside the pavilion, and someone was talking, is it her?
He walked up the stairs and took a deep breath in front of the door. Then he reached out and pushed it open.
The door creaked open, and the look on his face slowly changed from expectant to disappointed. There was no Wen Yi in the room, only Chen Yuzhu and the two servants.
Chen Yuzhu sat in front of the makeup table, seeing him enter, she revealed a gentle smile, stood up and blessing her, ”Your Highness came so early?”
Song Yunqian acknowledged his presence, and asked with a hoarse voice: ”Did anyone come by just now?”
Chen Yuzhu shook her head, looking at his strange expression, she said: ”Who would come this early in the morning? Why would the Prince ask such a question? ”
Song Yunqian sat on a chair beside the Eight Immortals Table, looking frustrated. He bitterly shook his head and said, ”No, I was just casually asking.”
Chen Yuzhu came to Song Yunqian's side and sat down. She said with doubt on her face, ”Your Highness, I have some things I wish to ask Your Highness!”
Song Yunqian could not hide the disappointment in his heart. It was so strong that it almost engulfed him, and he did not have the heart to listen to her question. He stood up and said: ”Go back and ask another time, I'm a little tired!”
Chen Yuzhu stood up to send her off, a little disappointed. She stared at Song Yunqian's figure in a daze and suddenly asked: ”Has this humble one ever seen the Prince before?”
Song Yunqian did not turn back. He only stood still and replied tiredly, ”No, at least this king has never seen you before.”
Chen Yuzhu was a little doubtful as she said in a daze, ”I don't know why but there are always things that come to my mind. Back in the mountains, Prince and I went to gather some things and then I fell into the water. These images are very clear, but I can't really remember when it happened.”
Song Yunqian's body stiffened as he suddenly turned around. His eyes locked onto Chen Yuzhu, ”What do you remember? What else do you remember? ”
Chen Yuzhu frowned and thought for a moment, ”There are still some more,” she paused for a moment, then said: ”However, Your Highness should still go to rest, you have been tired for the whole night.”
How could Song Yunqian still be tired? He anxiously pulled Chen Yuzhu to sit down and asked anxiously: ”Why don't you say it again, what did you remember? No, first answer this king. Did you get injured before you and this king got married? ”
Chen Yuzhu looked at him in astonishment, ”How does Your Highness know that I was injured? I accidentally fell into the lake. I thought that I was doomed because there was no one by my side at that time, and I didn't know how long it took for me to be rescued. At that time, my brother thought that I was dead, but before long, I opened my eyes again. At that time, my mother even laughed and said that if I am able to survive, I will definitely have good fortune! ”
Song Yunqian asked: ”When did you fall into the water?”
Chen Yuzhu smiled bashfully, and said: ”It's exactly the night before the wedding!”
Song Yunqian inhaled a breath of cold air. According to what Lang Yue had investigated, Wen Yi was the one who was killed two days before he was married. In other words, the time was right. Did Master's words of 'pity' mean that Wen Yi had already possessed Chen Yuzhu? But why did she only remember fragments of Chen Yuzhu's past and not know anything about her own identity or relationship with him?
When he thought of this possibility, the blood in his entire body started to boil. His brain was working very quickly, trying to think of something profound to stimulate Chen Yuzhu's thoughts.
He asked, ”Do you remember that you were poisoned?”
Chen Yuzhu blurted out, ”Remember, Imperial Concubine Rou's poison!” She tried her best to think back, but there was no memory of this matter in her mind. So why did she suddenly say that it was the Imperial Concubine Rou who poisoned her?
The reason why Imperial Concubine Rou was under house arrest was because she had poisoned Wen Yi. However, because of the marquis's face, this matter was not made public, and even the Emperor was hidden from him. She only said that a servant had been scolded by Wen Yi a few times, and that he bore a grudge in his heart, so he poisoned Wen Yi's food.
She hadn't been married for long and the Imperial Concubine Rou was also under house arrest. She had never seen it before, so how did she know that it was done by the Imperial Concubine Rou?
