Chapter 180: Fighting the Empress

Xi Ruofeng returned to the palace with the pastoral rumor, but was intercepted by the queen's people halfway.

In the dark, damp dungeon, the shepherd curled up in a corner. After she was brought into the palace, she thought she could meet the emperor, but she didn't want to be taken directly to this dungeon. It was dark and there were only a few dim oil lamps burning, and there were no other prisoners except her, but there were three or four guards guarding her.

From the time she was imprisoned here, they only gave her a cold and hard steamed bun, and they didn't even give half a drop of water, and Mu Yu's throat was really thirsty, and he shouted at the jailer: "Brother jailer, can you give me some water to drink?" ”

The jailer was thin and small, with a very obscene face, and was stepping on the table to count the bits and pieces of money on him, probably because he had lost the gambling book, and his heart was upset, and when he heard the pastoral rumor shouting like this, he kicked open the table with one foot, and walked to the door of the cell with a curse: "What a noise, stinky! Art thou redressed in the king's house? Do you want water, urine, Lao Tzu has a bubble, do you want to drink it? As he spoke, he was about to untie his trousers.

Mu Yu was shocked, listening to his voice, he should be a eunuch, but she didn't expect it to be so bold and vulgar, she turned her head and said angrily: "I am also the concubine of King Chen, and now I have not been convicted, you insult me so much, aren't you afraid that I will settle accounts with you after I go out?" ”

"Heh, hehe!" The jailer stopped his movements and looked at her as if he were strange, "How old are you, and you are still so naΓ―ve?" Lao Tzu has been here for ten years, and I haven't seen anyone who has entered here and is still alive! ”

"The world is impermanent, I advise you to accumulate more virtues!" Mu Yu's eyes showed disdain, what kind of master * what kind of slave.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound in the alleyway, and the jailer's face changed, and he hurriedly waited at the entrance of the alley with his waist bent, compared to the previous judgment of two people.

As the sound of Huanpei approached, Queen Xiao's gorgeous face appeared in the sight of the pastoral rumor. The maid behind her dismissed the jailer and helped her forward slowly.

"Lin-Wan-Yan!" She spoke word by word very slowly, and her expression was arrogant, "This palace really underestimated you!" But no matter how cunning you are, you still fell into the hands of this palace in the end! As long as you answer Bengu's questions honestly, Bengu will consider letting you out! ”

Mu Yu smiled slightly and bent his eyes: "Wanyan really wants to answer Niangniang's question, but this voice is ...... I was so thirsty that I was afraid of ...... Ahem! ”

Empress Xiao was really hoarse when she heard her voice, and then looked at the cell, except for half of the unfinished hard steamed buns, there was not even a water bowl, she turned her head sideways and said to Armand: "Go, bring her a bowl of water!" ”

Mu Yu drank the water in one gulp, feeling much better in her throat, she wiped the corners of her lips, and sat back on the musty smell of straw.

"The water has been drunk, now we can talk!" Empress Xiao saw that she was not groomed, she looked a little sloppy, and her demeanor was very casual, but the cold temperament on her body was eye-catching.

"I don't know what Niangniang wants to ask Wanyan?" As soon as the poisonous powder was sprinkled yesterday, Xi Bochang's face changed, and she kept thinking, could it be that she showed her feet?

"This palace and ask you, the fake Ah Suo in the Lingshui Palace is you disguised?" The good-looking phoenix eyes looked at the pastoral rumor very sharply at the moment.

Mu Yu opened a pair of clear big eyes and nodded very seriously: "Yes! At that time, wasn't she imprisoned by the prince in the 'Xili Pavilion', Niangniang knew that a girl like Wanyan who was used to being wild, where could she stand the stuffiness, so she stunned her while Ah Suo was not paying attention, and then disguised herself as her and slipped away to Lingshui Palace to play for a few days. It's been so long since this happened, is it possible that the mother still wants to investigate this matter and hit the board of Wanyan? "My eyebrows and eyes are worried.

Empress Xiao didn't expect her to admit it so directly, and she didn't expect such an important thing to come out of her mouth so lightly!

"How many days have you been playing?! Hmph, do you think of the palace as your own garden? ”

"Wanyan has already fallen to this point, how dare you tell a lie! You see that it is damp and dark here, Wanyan is still counting on you to raise your noble hand, finish asking earlier, and let Wanyan out! Innocent eyes blinked at her.

"Then this palace will ask you again, but you cured Princess Yuling's throat?" It is said that people know and look at their eyes, but how does Queen Xiao feel that what she sees in her eyes is far from what she imagined?

When the pastoral rumor heard it, he immediately jumped up from the ground and said happily: "Niangniang is saying, is the princess's voice better?" Are you sure? Can you talk? "It seems that they really doubt themselves.

"You don't know? Don't say you didn't cure it! Empress Xiao was puzzled by her reaction.

"It's true that Wanyan cured it, but I don't know if it's cured or not, because, when Wanyan left the palace, the princess couldn't speak!" Mu Yu looked at her very sincerely, "Actually, Niangniang, Wanyan has wanted to talk to you for a long time, but she has never had a chance, those imperial doctors in the palace are only afraid that it is time to change, Princess Yuling's throat has been bad for so many years, and they have not been cured, they are either not good at medicine, or they are not attentive!"

However, Wanyan thinks that it is most likely the latter, you think, isn't it just that she is sick and burns out her vocal cords, how can it be so difficult to treat, you see Wanyan just prescribed a few drugs casually, and the princess can speak! The more she spoke, the more proud she became, and she was a little incredulous, "Niangniang, you didn't lie to me, the princess's voice is really good?!" ”

"That's it!"

"Oh, it's a pity that the master and her old man have ascended to heaven, otherwise I would have been proud in front of her!" Mu Yu got a little carried away, "Niangniang, when you finish asking questions, can you let Wanyan go to see the princess?" Wanyan wants to hear the princess speak with her own ears! ”

Empress Xiao squinted at her, analyzing in her heart that she was really cunning? Or is it really innocent?

"You said, Princess Yuling's throat just burned out her vocal cords, but it's actually very treatable?"

"That's right! Wanyan's medical skills are not very good, but this time even the doctor can't cure the disease, Wanyan was easily cured, Niangniang, you say, is this the doctor careless, or is Wanyan too powerful? "Caring so much about Yuling's voice, it seems that she must know the clues of Situ Ji's life experience.

Empress Xiao was a little dizzy by the pastoral rumors, and she was full of doubts in her heart: "Okay! Even if you are greedy to play and go to the Lingshui Palace, even if you are crooked, you have cured Yuling's throat. Then the palace will ask you again, the unfinished picture of Baishou, but you took it to the Lingshui Palace? ”

The herd turned from joy to frustration in an instant, and she sat back on the straw silently: "That's right! That day, the princess asked Wanyan to embroider a hundred longevity pictures, and it was to be completed on the second day, Wanyan was clumsy, afraid that she would be punished if she couldn't complete the task, so she thought of the princess, her embroidery skills were so good, she would definitely be able to help Wanyan, so she disguised herself into the Lingshui Palace, Ah Suo looked at the old friendship and helped her, but she didn't want my task to be completed, but Ah Suo lost her life. She lowered her head, "I hurt her!" ”

I didn't expect it to be like this, this incident is all related to her! It's just that she readily admits everything, but it's not what she imagined! Empress Xiao felt that the more she dragged herself down, the more confused she became.

Just like this embroidery picture, she sent someone to Chenwangfu to learn about it before, and indeed as she said, it was Xi Ruoya who deliberately made things difficult for her in order to punish her, but she didn't expect her to think of this trick to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix! However, between her and Ah Suo, is it as simple as she said?

"The palace is heavily guarded, but you can come and go freely, is it that Situ Yu secretly helped you, and Ah Suo is also the eyeliner he arranged in the Lingshui Palace, right?"

Hum! If you want to find out about Situ Yu from yourself, you really think you're stupid!

Mu Yu's big eyes were moist: "Why do you want to make fun of Wanyan, everyone knows that since the prince left in the Chengtian Palace that day, he has never looked at Wanyan with his eyes, he slept in the princess's house that night, how can there be that idle care about Wanyan's life or death!" As for that Ah Suo, Wanyan only knew that she was a maid of Lingshui Palace, and she was deeply liked by the princess, so she thought she should be the princess's person! ”

She raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Niangniang, can you ask something else, this mentions the prince, Wanyan is very sad in her heart!" ”

"Good! Then ask something else. There are six 'longevity' words on the embroidery map, and the stitching method is very peculiar, but you embroidered it? ”

"Let the mother laugh, Wanyan is not very good at female redness!"

"Not good at it? Where did you learn that stitching? ”

Mu Yu raised her eyes and saw that when Empress Xiao asked this, the light in her eyes was particularly cold, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, why was she so interested in this stitch?

"This, it's been too long, Wanyan can't remember it clearly, it seems to be taught by the master, and it seems to have been seen from others, in short, the craftsmanship is very unfamiliar, and it can't be put on the table!"

"Really? That's a pity, this palace likes this embroidery method very much, and originally planned to find someone who knows this craft and make a robe for this palace! ”

Seeing that she didn't speak, Empress Xiao also had a pity on her face, shook her head and sighed, and then was silent for a moment before continuing: "This palace will ask you one last question, that night in Lingshui Palace, they all said that they saw a stunning face, how do you explain, are you the real Lin Wanyan?" ”

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Alluring face? Wanyan really wants to have it, but unfortunately, hey! She ripped off her veil, revealing a bumpy, red, swollen and ugly face, "As a woman, who doesn't want to have a stunning look?" But Wanyan is just a disguise technique, if she really has such a beauty, why bother with an ugly face and not please the prince?

What's more, the queen mother also asked the imperial doctor to help Wanyan diagnose and treat, I remember that even the imperial doctor said that he was helpless, which really made Wanyan sad for a long time! If you still don't believe me, tell this sister to touch me and see if I'm wearing anything else on my face! As she spoke, she walked to the cell door and tilted her head out slightly.
