Chapter 456: Pretending to be Laughing
After Grad Changyu left, Xiao Kui, who had returned to Grad City one step ahead of Manna, ran to her worriedly and told her that General Xiaoyong had been arrested and imprisoned after sending his wife back to the city, and had only heard that it was treason.
"General Xiaoyong is obviously escorting his wife back to the city, how can he become a traitor!"
Kemana, who had been working hard for a long time, began to worry again, she believed that Meng Ye would not do anything rebellious, no matter what the crime was, it was nothing more than Gelkangtai's trick. First, the future of the people in Ouying was threatened, forcing Meng Ye to give up half of his military power and go to the border, and then, on the grounds that "Meng Ye brought troops into the city privately", he summoned important ministers to force Gele Changyu to resign Meng Ye's authority, and then sent Zhanpeng to Ouying to replace him, and now he has to "seek the name of rebellion". It was clear that Gelkangtai wanted to get rid of Meng Ye.
In addition to Meng Ye's arrest, Xiaokui also told him that Ying Yue'er was also brought back from the border city and is now being held in prison.
Dragging her tired and bulky body, Manna arrives in prison, where she desperately needs someone who can tell her all the truth.
"Sister Yue'er, Madame has come to see you. Aoi called softly.
Ying Yue'er, who was curled up in the corner, was unkempt, she looked up and saw Manna, tears fell suddenly, and she knelt on the ground and cried, "I'm sorry, madam." ”
"Yue'er, get up, you get up. I thought I would arrange a good home for Yue, but I didn't expect her to suffer such a change, Manna was very distressed, Manna said: "Look at how thin you have been tortured these days." ”
"I'm sorry, madam, Yue'er has caused you trouble. ”
"What the hell is going on, and why are you locked up?"
Yue'er looked embarrassed, lowered her head, her brows furrowed, shook her head, and remained silent.
"Girl, you're talking. ”
"Yes, Sister Yue'er, say it quickly, with Madame in charge of you, I will definitely be able to rescue you. ”
Yue'er said: "Madam, I'm sorry, Yue'er can't say." ”
"You and I sisters have been through so many hardships together for so many years, and what can still stand between our sisters?" said Manna.
Yue'er hesitated for half a minute, then kowtowed to Manna again and again, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, madam, I'm sorry, madam......."
Until Yue'er's forehead was bleeding, Manna hurriedly stopped it and said, "Okay, I won't force you." But if you don't tell me a word, how can I help? ”
"Madam, Yue'er doesn't matter, but please Madame must save General Meng. ”
"You stupid girl, you take care of others, and you don't care for yourself. Yue'er is a long-term person, which Manna thinks she sees most thoroughly, Manna instructed: "Xiaokui, go back and bring some clean clothes and bedding to Yue'er, and let the guards change to a clean place." ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"Yue'er, if you endure for a few more days, I will come to pick you up. ”
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Thank you, madam." ”
Out of the cell, Manna instructed Aoi to invite Lin Gong to meet him in the Pavilion. But at dusk, Xiao Kui came back alone, she said: "Madam, Xiao Kui arrived at Lin Mansion, but failed to see Lin Gong, his family said that Lin Gong was sick, and he had taken a 30-day leave with King Gele, and he was unable to get up at present, and it was inconvenient to walk, so he really couldn't come to see him." ”
"But I'm sick at this time. A not-so-good language crept into Manna's mind, and she said, "I'll have to go and see." ”
was about to go out, but Xiaobi sent a post, saying that she learned that the second lady had returned to the palace, and the eldest lady and the third lady would come to visit in a while, and prepared dinner to be shared with the second lady. Manna had no choice but to stay.
The dinner of the three women looked peaceful.
The left wing of the eldest lady, who had just lost her beloved son, remembered her unborn child when she saw the pot-bellied Komana, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad, but despite this, she still had to pretend to be happy, celebrate Manna's safe return, and thank her for her dedication to continuing the bloodline of King Grad. Ai Wen suddenly felt that women in ancient times needed superb acting skills to be able to hide their hypocrisy without traces.
"Sister, I have heard that General Xiaoyong collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the border soldiers were killed and injured countless times, if General Zhanpeng hadn't happened to be there, I'm afraid the border city would have been breached. Xia Sha gossiped.
Ai Wen caught a glimpse of Manna's face being extremely calm, but she still stopped Xia Sha's words in time and said, "Sister Xia, this is a matter of the front hall, let's not talk about state affairs." ”
"Aren't I worried about General Xiaoyong? General Meng has made great achievements and is sincerely patriotic, how can he collaborate with the enemy, he must have been framed by someone. Shasha said.
Only Manna was absent-minded, and when she heard the word Meng Ye, she came back to her senses and said, "What the eldest lady said is that the king will handle this matter in the front hall impartially, and it is not up to us women to worry about it." ”
Xia Sha just wanted to ease the relationship between her and Komana, she never expected that Manna would return to the palace one day, let alone that she would come back unscathed. Manna's pointed and bulging belly is very similar to the fetal image of a son, if the second lady successfully gives birth to a little son, then Xia Sha and Chong'er will have any good days in the future. The eldest lady is infatuated with the king, the second lady's mother is expensive by her son, and she is Xiasha, but she has nothing. The glory and stability in front of her seemed to have suddenly become a mirage, she didn't want to lose, but she couldn't hold it firmly in her hands.
Now, she only pins her hopes on Enon, as long as Enonon can give birth to a son for King Grad, their mother and daughter will have a second half of their lives to rely on. Xia Sha could see that King Grad was interested in Enon, and no man could refuse a beautiful woman who adored him. The way he looked at Enon, it was different from others.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad, Geler Changyu has never looked at Xia Sha so affectionately. She followed the words: "What my sister said is. ”
"We've been bothering for too long, the second lady must be very tired when she just came back today, I see that I'm here today, let's find a time for our sisters to catch up with the old days." Ai Wen said.
"It's okay, I'm really tired. Manna said.
"Then sister, take care, my sister will come to see you tomorrow. ”
When the two said goodbye, it was already dark, Xiao Aoi picked up the wick, and Manna asked, "Is it said that there is a newcomer in the back cabinet recently?"
"Yes, ma'am, Miss Inon has only recently moved into the back cabinet. ”
"What kind of person is she. ”
"It is said that she is the distant cousin of the third lady. ”
"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors related to her in the palace. ”
"Yes, a few days ago, King Grad liked to take her everywhere he went, and there were all kinds of gossip in the palace, most of which said that the girl Enon wanted to fly on the branch as a phoenix and so on, which is not strange, and some people said that King Grad was fascinated by this girl, and this big lady was about to fall out of favor. In those days, the eldest lady was always gloomy and sullen. But no, when the eldest lady's child was gone, King Grad often went to the second lady to find Miss Yinon, and snubbed the eldest lady. ”
It's no wonder that Manna always thinks that she is full of preoccupation when she sees the left-wing today, and pretends to laugh. Enon, Manna would love to meet her.
