Chapter 168: Throwing Yourself into the Net
Sure enough, Concubine Yun was stunned, the smile on her lips dissipated instantly, and she raised her hand to play with her slender fingertips, the bright red Kodan on her nails set off a pair of soft skin like coagulation, but it also revealed a touch of weirdness.
"The emperor arrested King Yu, swept the palace of King Yu, arrested all the maids and servants in the palace, tortured every day to extract confessions, there are already many people who can't stand the torture and bite their tongues to commit suicide, but, those people are loyal to King Yu, and would rather die than admit that King Yu rebelled, but you, were brought into the palace by the emperor, although you were under house arrest in Jingxue Xuan, but you were waiting for you with fine clothes and food, why?"
Shui Lianyue looked at Concubine Yun with a cold expression, listened to what she said, inadvertently glanced out of the door, and then smiled faintly: "Auntie should be really straight, don't forget, this Jingxue Xuan is surrounded by the emperor's people, and it is better for my aunt to be careful when she speaks, so as not to cause trouble."
"Hehehe", suddenly, Concubine Yun laughed, an extremely arrogant look flashed on her face, and said proudly: "What if you listen to it?" Although King Yu is not my biological child, I regard him as my own child, and he has such a big thing, shouldn't I, as an aunt, be anxious about him? The hearts of parents all over the world, even if the emperor knows, what about it"?
Shui Lianyue looked at Concubine Yun's expression, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, I really don't know what kind of ability this Concubine Yun has, with the position of a concubine, even the emperor and the queen mother are not in their eyes, "Since this is the case, then I will no longer shy away from it, when the emperor has not ordered the arrest of King Yu, I have already been brought into the palace by the emperor's people, and then I only know about this matter, now I, I can't help myself, there are countless masters hidden inside and outside Jingxue Xuan, all of them are sent by the emperor, it is difficult to escape from the sky, not to mention, my mother is there, Presumably there are also people from the emperor."
After listening to Concubine Yun's words today, I know what her purpose is, and these words are also a reminder to Concubine Yun that even if she escapes, there is still her mother, and many things are not what she wants.
Concubine Yun's eyes flashed with ruthlessness when she heard this, and she said in a cold voice: "The emperor is really resourceful, but after talking for a long time, I don't know why the emperor put you under house arrest in Jingxue Xuan"?
"The emperor loves my beauty, and he has made a plan, and he will give me the queen's throne after dealing with King Yu's affairs, it's as simple as that", Shui Lianyue blurted out, and sure enough, Concubine Yun's body stiffened after hearing this, her fingertips clenched, and her face was filled with anger.
"It's really ridiculous, you are already the princess of King Yu, he even did such an unethical thing", Concubine Yun suddenly frowned, her chest rose and fell, obviously angry about this incident.
"Is that all"? In a blink of an instant, she looked at Shui Lianyue again, and asked in a cold voice, her eyes flashed with doubt, Shui Lianyue naturally saw the doubt in her eyes, and she was very puzzled, but she still nodded and said lightly: "That's true, what's the matter, does my aunt think that there is something else that can't be done?"
Concubine Yun hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyes were slightly cold, and she sneered and said: "You and I might as well open the skylight and say something, I have also heard about the treasure of the Golden Spirit Palace, presumably, the emperor insists on this matter, right?"
Shui Lianyue was stunned, she didn't expect that a person like Concubine Yun, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, would also know about the treasures of the Golden Spirit Palace, and at the moment she was wary of Concubine Yun in her heart, and replied indifferently: "I don't know the secret of the treasure of the Golden Spirit Palace at all, even if he insists, I can't help it."
"Heh, in this way, you have compromised with the emperor, right?" Concubine Yun asked with a mocking smile.
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, a little impatient with Concubine Yun's words about such a bend, the heat that had just been suppressed rose again, and her voice was a little colder at the moment and said: "Since my aunt said that she would open the skylight and say something bright, don't go around the bend again, let's say, what do you mean"?
Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows lightly, looked at Shui Lianyue with deep meaning, and said half-loudly: "You know best what kind of thoughts you have about King Yu, no matter what, you have already married him, and you are the princess he is marrying, and now that he has an accident, how can you stay out of it?"
It's good that Concubine Yun didn't say this, but as soon as she mentioned this matter, Shui Lianyue suddenly felt angry in her heart, her phoenix eyes flashed with a fierce color, and she said coldly: "Auntie, is this blaming me?" Who brought up the request for the first emperor's marriage? I haven't returned for three years, and this time I came back to dissolve the marriage contract, I don't know him, and I don't have any feelings at all, just ask, how can such two people be together? Don't mention to me the words of my parents' matchmaker, now that something happened to him, my aunt remembered me, but at the beginning, who of you ever cared about my feelings"?
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yun also became angry, looked at Shui Lianyue and scolded coldly: "If I didn't look at the relationship between your mother and me, I pity your mother and daughter, how could I let you let a concubine marry the prince as the princess?" This kind of thing is like pie in the sky, you can't ask for it, why does it become a big grievance in your mouth? Isn't King Yu worthy of you? Or are you yourself a hypocritical woman who loves vanity and covets power"?
Shui Lianyue shook her head helplessly, she really didn't want to continue to argue with Concubine Yun about these issues that had already become facts, King Yu was right, and she was not wrong, but she had the thoughts of modern people, even if she broke the sky, in the ancient times of feudal tradition, no one could understand her, perhaps, what Concubine Yun said made sense, after all, marrying the prince as a concubine would be promoted, and she and her mother would not have to be squeezed and bullied by others.
It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and I don't want to be in the current state.
"King Yu is a good man, but, it's impossible between me and him, he's not interesting to me, he has someone he likes in his heart, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, I will never be strong."
Concubine Yun saw that Shui Lianyue's tone softened a little, and after listening to what she said, she was no longer tough, and sighed lightly: "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that King Yu is now in deep danger, and I have the ability to do it, if I can't leave the palace, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, if I belong to the same party, I won't even have the opportunity to save King Yu, and second, I don't know martial arts, with my ability, it's difficult to save him, you, you know what I mean?" As soon as the words fell, she looked at Shui Lianyue, and a flash of expectation flashed in her eyes, falling into Shui Lianyue's eyes.
She nodded slightly, and said lightly: "But you also know my current situation, I can't protect myself, and I can't get out either, even if I have martial arts?" My mother is still in Shuifu, and if I escape, it will definitely hurt her, and I don't want to do that."
Concubine Yun was silent when she heard this, and she also understood the difficulties of Shui Lianyue, but if she couldn't do anything, then King Yu would have to wait for death, and now, the palace has strengthened its vigilance inside and outside, and even a fly can't fly out, and the entire capital has also begun martial law, the royal forest army is guarded layer by layer, and the city gate is even more allowed to enter and exit.
