Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

With this confusion, Meng Wan frowned deeply on the way back.

According to the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the files were placed together, and except for the ones from Prince Heng's Palace, the rest were not missing at all. If they were specifically targeted at Prince Heng's Palace, she would not believe it anyway if they said it was a coincidence.

.

Therefore, after returning home, she did not go back to her room. Instead, she went to the general office where she was in charge of miscellaneous matters.

Normally, things sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will go through the sundries department first. Although I have no hope at this moment, I still have to ask.

Sure enough, after looking through the records, the Sundry Department said to Meng Wan: "Princess Qi, I looked through it and found that there is no record of this piece of clothing. The buckle is too small. I really can't remember which piece it is."

Please forgive me, Princess, for wearing clothes."

Because of the lessons learned from the House of Internal Affairs, Meng Wan had already expected such a result on the way to the sundry office. She thought that if someone could steal the files from the House of Internal Affairs, then the records of Prince Heng's House would not be a problem. Just do

Who could be responsible for this?

Not only can he enter and leave the palace, but he also has the ability to run rampant in Prince Heng's Mansion...

After much thought and thinking to no avail, he went back to the room worriedly. Huangfu Mi was lying there undressed. When he saw her coming back, he immediately got up and went to greet her: "Why do you look like this? Things are not going well?"

Meng Wan nodded and talked about the two things with Huangfumi. Finally, she said: "I have thought about it all the way. There are really not many people who can do these two things. In addition, it seems that there are people who can do these two things."

He knew what I was going to do every step of the way, but he blocked me early in the morning, leaving me nowhere to be found. I always felt that my every move was being monitored, and I also felt that something seemed to have been missed..."

"Do you suspect there is a mole around you?"

"Yes." Meng Wan nodded: "Originally, when Huanyan was killed in the palace, it can be concluded that the person was killed by someone in the palace. Now I went to check, but someone else took a step ahead of me and confirmed this. But I don't

Understand, it may not be difficult to remove the records in the palace

, but how did that person enter the palace? How did he steal the files from the Ministry of Internal Affairs without anyone noticing? You know, the palace is heavily guarded, and the only ones who can come in and out of the palace freely are you and me.

It’s impossible to do such a thing, so who could it be?”

"Could it be that someone is cooperating inside and outside?" Huang Fumi pondered for a long time and then expressed his hypothesis.

Meng Wan's eyes lit up: "The inside should be the same as the outside? This is not impossible, and it can explain so many coincidences, but...who could it be? In the palace, or in our house."

Meng Wan was full of fighting spirit at the moment, especially after the murderer had done so many things to eliminate traces, and she was even more certain of the fact that the murderer was in the palace, so she believed that as long as she continued to investigate, she would be able to find out the truth.

What she wanted to know the most was which ruthless person actually did this to Huanyan and even soaked her in cold water. When she thought of this, Meng Wan felt cruel in her heart and became violent.

stand up.

Huangfu Mi put his arms around her shoulders: "It doesn't matter who it is, I just want to sleep at the moment. Anyway, since my thoughts can't be sorted out now, you might as well take a rest. Seeing the tiredness on your face, I thought yesterday

I haven't come back all night, so I guess you haven't slept either, right?"

As he said that, he forced her onto the bed, took off her shoes and socks and pushed her onto the bed. Then he said: "You don't know your body. It will be too much for you if you go on like this. Who will investigate it then?"

The truth, who will avenge Huanyan?"

Meng Wan knew that he was trying to persuade her to rest, but she did not refuse. Instead, she followed his words and lay down next to him, resting her head on his arm and leaning on her chest. Her voice was almost imperceptible:

"Huangfu Mi, do you think I can really find the murderer? I must be able to avenge Huanyan, right?"

Huangfu Mi was extremely sleepy, but he still endured it. Hearing what she said, he nodded, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "That's natural, it will happen."

He seemed extremely tired, and his voice was slightly hoarse. Meng Wan knew that in the past two days, in addition to helping her track down Huanyan's whereabouts, he also had to take care of her. The most important thing was that the border was in turmoil, Hua Dynasty had repeatedly invaded, and the emperor had already

All the ministers were summoned to discuss the response strategy for several days, and Huangfu Mi didn't sleep a wink all day and night.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. Smelling the faint aroma of ambergris and hearing his steady breathing in her ears, she closed her eyes and felt at peace in her heart.

--

When he woke up, Huangfu Mi had disappeared. According to Mu Ci, someone from the palace invited him over, as if something was wrong.

Meng Wan guessed that it was related to the instability of the border. She was worried in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She could only pray that everything would be safe and the rain would pass as soon as possible.

He lay on the bed for a while and then got up. He originally wanted to freshen up and be happy, but unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of bed, he saw Huang Fumi walking in in a hurry, with a gloomy look on his face.

It was probably because nothing good had happened in the past two days. Seeing him like this now, Meng Wan's heart sank suddenly, and she actually felt uneasy.

"You're awake." While he was thinking, Huang Fumi walked through the door quickly, walking in a hurry, with beads of sweat on his forehead. When he spoke, he was not as calm as usual, and his tone was slightly urgent.

Meng Wan nodded, feeling uneasy but said nothing. She just wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and then said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? What happened?"

Huangfu Mi nodded, took Meng Wan into the house, and said, "Let's talk inside first."

With a solemn look on his face, Meng Wan became more and more panicked, but without saying a word, she followed Huangfu Mi into the house obediently.

As soon as he entered the door, Huangfu Mi hugged Meng Wan tightly in his arms. She couldn't see his expression, but Meng Wan could clearly feel that he was shaking, and his whole body was shaking.

Meng Wan panicked in her heart. This situation seemed familiar, yet different, "What happened?"

"Wan'er, I'm sorry -" his voice trembled, "I know you are feeling uncomfortable at this time and need me by your side. It's just that the border is in turmoil, Hua Chao raided again, and our generals were killed and injured countless times. In such a situation, I

We can't just sit back and ignore it, my father just called me into the palace, and I have already taken the initiative to lead the army to the expedition."

Meng Wan's body trembled, and her face instantly turned pale and bloodless: "Going out...to go on an expedition?"

What she cared about was not that he couldn't be by her side, but that she was worried about him. Since he would be sent out, the situation was obviously very urgent. Although Meng Wan knew that he was capable, going out to fight was no small matter. He had no experience in leading troops.

,Is it true that nothing will happen if you go out like this?

"I'm sorry Wan'er, if you want to hit me or scold me, that's up to you. I know it's my fault for leaving you at this juncture, but..."

The next words were blocked by Meng Wan. Meng Wan stretched out her hand and touched his lips gently, but suddenly smiled: "Fool, what are you talking about? National affairs are extremely important. How could I?"

You are angry because of your own selfishness, but this situation is dangerous, do you really have no problem?"

"We can only do our best." Huangfu Mi frowned, and his face, which was not as beautiful as a mortal's, was also full of worry. He was not worried that he was unable to do anything, but that a slight negligence would lead to a big disaster.

"Huangfu Mi--" Meng Wan couldn't help but become more and more worried when she saw this, but Huangfu Mi changed her smile, reached out to touch her cheek, and then smiled softly: "Don't worry, as long as you are waiting for me at home, I will definitely do it."

Came back."

The small flowers in the corner were blooming just right, with dots of white and dots of red. Under the last touch of the setting sun, they glowed with a drunken brilliance. Meng Wan looked at it quietly, only feeling that the halo of light continued to smudge.

When I opened it, my eyes were filled with light.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her stunned, thinking that she was still worried, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Meng Wanfang came back to her senses, then shook her head gently, looking at his beautiful face, she smiled slightly, and for a long time, she only said three words--

I'm waiting for you!

--

That night, the two slept together hugging each other. When they woke up the next morning, Huang Fumi was no longer around. His breath was still lingering around them, but the other side of the bed was already empty.

Meng Wan raised her eyes. She had agreed last night not to send him off. She had agreed not to be so sad. But if she didn't send him off, would there be any regrets?

Meng Wan got off the bed, packed up, picked up some clothes and went out. The wind was a little cold. It seemed that it was still so warm a few days ago, but autumn was coming in a blink of an eye.

Meng Wan stood on the top of the slope, looking down from a distance. The flowers on the roadside had not yet withered. Just like yesterday, he held her in his arms, his chest was broad and reassuring, and his whispers were heard in her ears.

, "Wan'er, you have to protect yourself well when I'm not around. Just do your best for your happiness. If there is any danger, you must evacuate immediately and wait for me to come back."

Meng Wan squinted her eyes. The wind was a bit strong, making her eyes hurt. In the mist, rows of well-trained soldiers walked over. The road was crowded with people on both sides. Two rows of teams marched in order.

Under the baptism of everyone's gaze, he looked like a cold winter wind, with no expression at all on his face.

Among the crowd, Meng Wan caught a glimpse of Huangfu Mi riding a horse in the center. He was wearing a spotless golden armor. The sun was setting slantingly, and the figure was even more highlighted by the jade trees rising in the wind.

Her long hair, like ink, was scattered on her white clothes, and was tied back with only a brocade ribbon. The three-dimensional facial features carved by sharp knives exuded an icy aura. The sunlight hit her body, coating it with a golden layer.

halo he

He raised his head slightly, his expression was calm and serene, his thin lips pursed into a beautiful arc, half-smiling but not smiling. His eyes, which were so deep that they could not be seen to the bottom, were slightly squinted against the sunlight, and the light inadvertently revealed in his eyes was unsettling.

Dare to look down upon.

A surge of emotion surged up in Meng Wan's chest, and she had the urge to cry, saying, "We'll see you again, and we don't know when we'll return." All she could do was wait.

As if sensing Meng Wan's gaze, Huangfu Mi suddenly turned his head. Although he was so far away, he could still clearly see Meng Wan standing over there like a sculpture.

It seemed that they suddenly stopped, and the two of them just looked at each other quietly, as if everything around them didn't exist, only the two of them.

Meng Wan wiped her face and it was dry. At this time, she could no longer shed tears. In fact, at the corner of her lips, a faint smile appeared. It was so shallow, but it spread faintly, spreading bit by bit.

It came to Huang Fumi's heart.

He raised his hand, put it on his chest, and patted it twice. He didn't know if Meng Wan could see it clearly, but he didn't know that Meng Wan's face was already filled with tears, looking at the figure that was getting further away, tears streaming down his face.

Unable to stop falling.

"The love between husband and wife is deep, and the princess personally came to see it off. Such sentiments are really touching!" A female voice suddenly sounded from behind, sighing faintly, which seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to have other meanings.

Meng Wan turned around, and at some point, Fu Qingcheng stood behind her, looking leisurely at the direction the army was leaving, with a smile on her lips.

That smile was very much like when we first met, and she was smiling so imperceptibly, as if all the conspiracies and calculations were contained in that smile.

Meng Wan couldn't help but frowned: "There is no need for others to say anything about the depth of love. Instead of caring about me and the prince like this, Miss Qingcheng, it would be better to go on an expedition with the prince. Even the girls from the city have gone, why do you stay here instead?"

"Because I have more important things to do--"

He chuckled lightly, and there was a hint of conspiracy in his smile. Meng Wan could see it clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Fu Qingcheng then said: "By the way, the princess is very sad about Huanyan's death, right? Seeing the princess sad, Qingcheng is very happy!"

The last few words, her voice gradually faded away as she turned and left, but Meng Wan could still hear them clearly, and her whole body couldn't help but freeze.

What did she mean by this? Could it be that... Huanyan's death had something to do with her?

--

Thinking of this, Meng Wan couldn't stay any longer. Seeing Huangfu Mi and his party had gone away, she turned around and returned to the palace.

In order to protect Meng Wan's safety, Huangfu Mi specially left Hua Jiuye behind. At this moment, Meng Wan called him over: "Do you know who the princes are going to the front line this time?"

Because she was worried before, she didn't ask specifically. Now seeing Fu Qingcheng's words made her suspicious, so she went to Hua Jiuye to ask.

Hua Jiuye pondered for a moment: "Probably there are only the prince and the fifth prince..."

"What about the eldest prince?"

"Not much happened, but he took the initiative to take out his one-year salary two days ago, saying that it was exchanged for food and grass for the border soldiers. For this, the emperor also praised him greatly."

Meng Wan frowned when he heard this.

"Princess, is there any problem?" Hua Jiuye asked tentatively upon seeing this.
