Chapter 124: Scarred
Li Anyue couldn't hear any sound or see anything in the house, and she didn't know what time it was and how long she had been locked up in this room. The wounds on her body were so uncomfortable with sweat that she could only move slightly, masking the uncomfortable feeling by using the pain.
"Lord Wang......" Li Anyue thought about Shenyue Haoqing, he didn't know where he was now, if he knew that he was locked up in such a place, he would have to say that he had cut off people's heads. Li Anyue couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart when she thought of Shenyue Haoqing's appearance, and slowly ignored the environment and the pain on her body, and even slowly fell asleep.
To be honest, she didn't know exactly what her current situation was, but seeing that the queen moved so quickly, and obviously planned the whole thing from the beginning, she didn't dare to imagine what her fate would be if there was no external force to help. But she has no fear of death, perhaps because she has passed by death many times before, or subconsciously feels that the queen has no way to do anything to her. In short, she waited for their next step with an incomprehensible calm.
Li Anyue didn't feel much uneasy except for the physical pain here, but the two little palace maids in Chengde Hall were so anxious that they didn't sleep all night, and they always ran to ask the emperor if he came back at dawn, but he was always one step away, and the emperor came back before to change into court clothes and went to the court, and then they didn't care about the intimidation of the guards, so they lingered at the door of the imperial study and waited.
"Your Majesty!" From a distance, the two of them saw Shenyue Cangting and Shenyue Haotian walking back while talking, so they couldn't wait to run to the emperor, not wanting to be blocked by two sharp knives on their necks, so the two knelt down.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor!"
"You two little palace maids collided with the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this early in the morning, what kind of crime should you be guilty of!" Wu Yong angrily pointed to the heads of the two people and scolded.
"Please forgive the emperor! The slave is really forced to do so! The two quickly explained.
"I remember to let the two of you go to serve Li Anyue, why did you come here early in the morning, Li Anyue?"
"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids are asking the emperor to save Sister An Yue!"
Shenyue Cangting frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Shenyue Haotian asked first, "Save her?" What happened to Anyue Lee? ”
Xianglan calmed down for a while, and then roughly said what happened yesterday, "My sister asked the queen mother to call yesterday afternoon, and the queen mother sent a package of medicine to my sister, saying that it was for my sister to treat her injuries, but then Aunt Yuhe came over with a group of people and said that my sister stole the queen mother's golden phoenix hairpin, and then my sister was taken away by them, and she didn't come back for a night, and the slave maid wanted to find the emperor, but the emperor was not there, and the slave didn't know what to do...... Please go and save my sister, I don't know what happened to my sister......" Xianglan said and sobbed.
Shenyue Cangting glanced at Wu Yong, Wu Yong lowered his head a little weakly, Shenyue Cangting asked him to pay attention to the movements of the queen, but yesterday he thought that since the emperor was in Kunning Palace, there was no need to observe the queen's movements, but he didn't expect that the queen had a move at this time.
"Wu Yong, go to Kunning Palace to see what's going on?"
"Yes, the minion is going!" Wu Yong heard this, and trotted to Kunning Palace.
Shenyue Haotian frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he said to Shenyue Cangting, "Father, the sons and daughters also want to go to Kunning Palace to have a look." ”
Shenyue Cangting looked at him, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a while, and Shenyue Cangting didn't speak, just nodded, and agreed. Shenyue Haotian bowed his head, and also strode towards Kunning Palace. Xianglan and Zuiyue were only a little worried when they saw Wu Yong in the past, but after seeing that Shenyue Haotian had also passed, the stone hanging in their hearts finally let go of some.
In Kunning Palace, the queen was walking in the garden just after breakfast, and the maid came to report, "Gonggong Wu is here." The queen sighed in her heart, then beckoned Yuhe to come over and glanced at her.
"Mother, will this make things unmanageable?" Yuhe hesitated.
The queen glared at her, "What are you afraid of, while they haven't reacted yet, they will deal with this little palace maid first, even if they are investigated at that time, the emperor will not make any big moves for this little palace maid." ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Yuhe nodded and was about to leave.
The queen thought about it, and then instructed, "Wait a while, if the emperor really investigates it at that time, you will admit it yourself first." ”
Yuhe was a little surprised, "The queen mother ......"
"Don't worry, as long as this palace is still there, no one will do anything to you, and this palace will help you then, after all, we are in the same boat."
"Yes, slave remembers." Yuhe took a reassuring pill and walked out.
The queen put her hair in a bun, and slowly walked to the middle hall, Wu Yong was so anxious that he wandered back and forth in the middle hall, and when he saw the queen, he hurriedly greeted him, "The slave has seen the queen's mother!" ”
"Gonggong Wu is not serving the emperor well in Chengde Palace, how can he have such leisure to come to this Kunning Palace?" The queen did not look at him, but walked straight past him as she spoke.
"Queen mother, slave ......" Wu Yong had to turn around and follow behind the queen.
"Father-in-law Wu, how is the emperor's health today?" Before Wu Yong could finish speaking, the queen interrupted his words.
"The emperor is in good health, the slave ......" Wu Yong wiped the sweat on his forehead and was a little anxious.
"Did the emperor have a good breakfast today?"
"Yes, the Queen's ......"
"The Emperor's ......"
"Minions!" Wu Yong shouted anxiously, startling the queen a lot, looking at him in disbelief, Wu Yong quickly lowered his head and said everything he wanted to say, "The slave was ordered by the emperor to ask the queen mother where Li Anyue went!" ”
"Li Anyue? She's ......" the queen straightened the folds of her sleeves leisurely, "Oh, that little palace maid?" The emperor is really joking, how can the palace know where that little palace maid went. ”
"The two palace maids who served Li Anyue said that the queen sent someone to take her away, so the emperor sent a servant to inquire."
"Why doesn't this palace know such a thing, isn't it because those two palace maids are mistaken? Gonggong Wu should go back and ask first. The queen smiled slightly, but she didn't let go even if she was killed.
"However, the emperor ......" Wu Yong looked at the queen in embarrassment, and the queen ignored him, and directly asked his subordinates to send him away, so he had to go back to report to the emperor first.
Shenyue Haotian hurriedly entered Kunning Palace, because he was the crown prince, and no one stopped him. After learning that the queen was in the garden, he planned to go to look for her, but when he saw Yuhe hurriedly coming out of the garden, he hid his figure in a heartbeat, and then followed Yuhe's footsteps from a distance.
Yuhe entered a small room at the end of the corridor, where two palace maids, one fat and one thin, were already guarding, "Wake her up for me!" ”
"Whoa!" A bucket of salt-soaked salt water was poured at Li Anyue.
"Ahh Li Anyue was awakened by the stimulating pain, accompanied by the piercing pain, she blinked her eyes vigorously and looked at the person in front of her, but she couldn't see clearly, and the pain in her body made her consciousness more and more blurred.
Yuhe held the dagger and stepped up, patting her pale face with a knife, "Heh, I didn't expect it, I wanted to serve you well, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so attentive to you, a little girl, that he actually sent someone over early in the morning, so I had to cheapen you first and send you to see King Yama as soon as possible." ”
Li Anyue didn't even have the strength to spit on her now, she just glanced at her sarcastically, and spit out a very slight "phew" from her mouth.
Yuhe pinched her cheeks angrily, "It's so annoying to be dead when you're dying, you really don't know whether to live or die!" Concubine Li said that your eyes are seductive, why didn't I see it. But in order to prevent you from hooking up with men when you go to the underworld, Aunt Ben wants to nullify your tricks! ”
Li Anyue looked at her in a bit of a daze, feeling that there was a knife light flashing in front of her, and even her eyelids had touched the cold breath, just hearing the sound of "bang", the door of the hut was kicked open, Yuhe's hand stopped in surprise, and a fat and thin palace maid also looked at the door in surprise.
"Lord Wang......" Li Anyue only saw a blurry pair of feet in front of him, and he couldn't support it and fainted after muttering.
"His Royal Highness the Prince?" The three of them fell to their knees tremblingly, not daring to look up at him.
Shenyue Haotian saw Li Anyue scarred on the cross, the already thin body looked even more fragile at this time, his clothes were stained with pools of blood, and there were several leather whips and several buckets of salt water on the ground. He clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice, "Get out of here!" ”
The two palace maids, one fat and one thin, ran out of smoke as soon as they heard this, only Yuhe was still lying on the ground trembling and didn't know whether to leave, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Emperor and the Queen ......"
Shenyue Haotian glared at her fiercely, and roared sharply, "If you don't get out, this prince will immediately dig up your pair of dogs and people!" When Yuhe heard this, he panicked and crawled out, and rushed to the middle hall to report to the queen.
Shenyue Haotian hurriedly walked to Li Anyue's side and untied the rope that bound Li Anyue's hands and feet, and there were deep strangulation marks where the rope was tied. Li Anyue was covered with injuries, he didn't know how to pick her up, no matter what, he would touch her wounds, he felt a faint pain in his heart, and he began to hate the cruelty of the queen mother, he carefully picked her up, and called in a low voice, "Yue'er? ”
