In the dungeon of the palace, Mu Yu sat quietly against the wall, looking like he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but he was actually meditating and practicing, it was damp and cold, except for the moldy straw, there was not even a wooden bed, let alone a bedding.

If it weren't for the fact that he had lived in the snowy mountains since he was a child, and he had internal strength to protect his body, he was afraid that he would freeze to death here. At the end of the week, fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

There were no doors or windows in this dungeon, and the sky outside was not visible at all, so I didn't know what time it was, but judging from the handover of the jailers, it had been five or six days since I came in.

To Mu Yu's surprise, Empress Xiao did not torture her, and even seemed to have forgotten her, since that day, no one else has come to see her.

"Hey, Jailer, could you come over for a moment?" This jailer was the kindest of all the jailers, and while he was the only one now, the rumor wanted to ask him about the situation outside.

"What's the matter?" The jailer's stocky, round, round face looked innocent.

"Brother Jailer, this thing seems to have fallen from you, can you take it and see if it's yours?" Mu Yu stretched out his hand and put a jasper bracelet into his hand, his eyes revealing a strange smile.

The jailer stretched out his hand to take a look, such a good thing is rare even in the palace, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he immediately stuffed the bracelet into his sleeve, and bent his eyes with a smile at the herd: "Ouch! You see, I'm in a hurry to lose it, but I told you to pick it up, if you need it, just say it, as long as I can do it, I should thank you! ”

Mu Yu smiled: "Brother Jailer is really polite!" However, there is really something I want my big brother to help with right now! ”

"Say it!"

"You see I've been in for a few days, and I don't know what's going on out there, and I don't know what they're going to do with me. Will you kill my head? Mu Yu had a pair of big eyes sadly, and Chu Chu was pitifully filled with tears.

"Oh, don't worry! I heard that two days ago, the old Marquis Lin went to the emperor to make trouble, and finally the emperor promised to send someone from the Department of Internal Affairs to investigate the matter, and he would not convict you before there was no evidence! So, you can rest assured that you will be fine for the time being! ”

"Really? It's still the emperor's wisdom! However, no one else believed me except my grandfather! Alas, if only the prince were here, he would definitely believe me! ”

"Don't sigh, His Royal Highness King Chen is brave and powerful, and yesterday he has sent back the battle report, saying that he won the first battle, and the emperor is happy! If you continue to fight like this, maybe you will return to the court soon! Then someone will redress your grievances! ”

In fact, the jailer felt that based on his observations in the past few days, Lin Wanyan did not seem to be as rude and terrible as rumored, on the contrary, she was more friendly and quiet than many royal relatives and nobles.

Mu Yu sighed slightly: "Actually, I didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" I'm sure they'll find out the truth and clear my name! It's just that I promised Prince Yi before that I would treat her princess, and I was about to be cured, but I was imprisoned here, if the princess couldn't take the medicine again, I was afraid that it would fall short! ”

Seeing that the jailer looked a little hesitant, as if she was thinking about whether to help her, she hurriedly begged: "As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" Brother Jailer, can you find a way to help me deliver these pills to King Yi's Mansion? ”

"This?" The jailer looked at the pill in her hand, a little embarrassed.

"Are you worried that there is something wrong with my pill?" She quickly took one of them in her hand, pinched it in half, and put half of it into her mouth, "Look, this is really just a pill to replenish blood and nourish qi, no problem!" Prince Yi values his princess very much, if you send this medicine, he will definitely reward him heavily! ”

He was very moved by the words behind the pastoral rumor, and he saw her take the pill with his own eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay!" Hurry up and pack the medicine, and I'll try to send it to King Yi's mansion!" ”

The jailer quickly put a small cloth bag of medicine into his waist, and then pretended to be casual and fetched a bowl of water for Mu Yu.

In the meandering Yanfu Palace, Empress Xiao was stroking a pot of ink chrysanthemums, and Armang hurriedly came to report: "Niangniang, someone has unveiled the emperor's list!" ”

When Empress Xiao heard this, her eyes lit up: "Oh? Where are the people? ”

"She has been brought into the palace, and the slave maid has made her wait in the side hall!"

"She can't hide this time!" Empress Xiao put down the golden scissors in her hand, and a glint of ambition appeared in her eyes.

In the side hall, the sun pours out. Empress Xiao stepped on the steps step by step, and her bewitching figure was stretched by the sunlight, enveloping the people in the hall under her shadow.

With a wave of her hand, the door of the temple slammed shut, and the light suddenly dimmed.

"Sure enough, it's you! Aunt Xuan, I haven't seen you for many years, but are you okay? The smile on her lips turned cold on the tips of her slightly raised eyebrows.

"It's rare that the second miss, oh no, it should be the queen's mother, and you can still call me 'Aunt Xuan', it's a pity that my cheap bones are still very tough, I'm afraid that I will disappoint my mother!" She bowed slightly, seemingly respectful, but her language was extremely sarcastic.

"Aunt Xuan, since you left back then, why did you come back? Since you decided to hide and hide as a shrinking turtle, why do you want to reveal this emperor list? Is it because your old man believes in his luck too much, or does he have any ulterior friendship with Lin Wanyan? ”

"Miss Lin, who once rescued me in danger, she just accidentally got a glimpse of my embroidery skills, and I don't want her to suffer injustice! As for the fact that I lived in the world back then, I just wanted to open my eyes to see for the eldest lady, to see when the heavens would open their eyes, and to see how you were retributed! She held her head proudly, and her eyes showed deep hatred.

"Hahaha!" Empress Xiao looked up and laughed, "Then do you have your wish?" Now that the palace is the queen above 10,000 people, she has already turned into a pile of white bones, and you will soon go down to accompany her, why do you say that this heaven is so blind? Yes? Hahaha! ”

Facing Empress Xiao's arrogant and arrogant laughter, she snorted coldly: "Don't think that you can be proud for long, even if we are dead, we are not like you, we are ruthless, we have lost our conscience, and we will only stink for 10,000 years!" ”

"Hmph, don't talk about it here! You should know what this palace is looking for you! "Queen Xiao couldn't see her pretentious appearance.

"What? After all these years, hasn't he given up? You two are really a natural pair, the same shameless! ”

The look of disdain in her eyes angered Queen Xiao, her face changed sharply, and her phoenix eyes glared angrily: "What an old thing, shame on your face!" This palace asks you well, you dare to insult this palace, do you want to taste the punishment in this palace? Come! ”

With an angry shout, the door of the temple suddenly opened, and several guards poured into it.

She smiled coldly: "Why bother such a big battle!" I've put things elsewhere, if you want to, I can tell you, but before I do that, I'm going to see Lin Wanyan first, and after I'm sure she's safe, I'll tell you where the map is hidden!" Otherwise, you'll kill me and won't get what you want! ”

"You're going to see her? Do you use this as a condition? Empress Xiao narrowed her eyes, extremely suspicious of what she said.

"I just said, Lin Wanyan is kind to me! I knew that my life was short, and I just wanted to make sure if she was okay before I died, so I would have no regrets! ”

Seeing that she was honest and not fake, Empress Xiao thought for a moment and waved to the guards: "Take her to the dungeon!" ”

The dim light reflected the dark stone walls, and the pastoral rumors closed their eyes in boredom and searched their minds for medical records about cup poison.

The sound of clanging rings came into her ears, she opened her eyes suddenly, and listened carefully, there seemed to be a lot of people coming today, could it be that she was going to be tortured? She stared at the alleyway, and her mind began to think of various countermeasures.

When his gaze crossed over to Empress Xiao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, Mu Yu was immediately stunned: "Aunt Qi? What are you doing here? Have you come to visit me? She got up and rushed to the cell door.

"Aunt Qi?" Empress Xiao sneered, "Aunt Xuan, you really know how to hide!" ”

Aunt Qi glanced at her coldly: "I want to say goodbye to her alone, I don't want anyone to get in the way, you all retreat farther away, otherwise ......"

Although Empress Xiao hated her for being so arrogant, she was helpless to take her, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it for the sake of the map: "You guys retreat and let her pass!" ”

Seeing that the guards retreated to the entrance of the alley according to their words, Aunt Qi straightened her clothes and walked to the cell with her head held high.

"Child, Auntie is late!" Changing her previous proud expression, Aunt Qi called her lovingly, with a little tears in her eyes.

Mu Yu felt that today's Aunt Qi was different from the Aunt Qi she knew before, in addition to her appearance, temperament, expression and conversation, it was completely like a different person. Not only did she not feel half humble in front of the queen, but she had a powerful aura that was above the queen, which shocked Mu Yu.

"Auntie, ...... are you?" She never thought that the first person to come to see her in the dungeon would be Aunt Qi!

"Girl, the eldest mother is here to say goodbye to you, thank you for your help to the eldest mother, the eldest mother will not be able to help you in the future, you have to take good care!"

"What do you say, auntie?" Mu Yu looked at her anxiously, and a sense of foreboding haunted her.

Aunt Qi picked up her hair, combed it with her hands, and said loudly: "Let Auntie comb your hair again!" After speaking, she glanced back at the queen and the guards behind her, held Mu Yu's hands, and said softly: "Auntie has something to tell you, you stretch your ears over, remember, these words are very important, you have to write them down word by word!" ”

Mu Yu nodded blankly and quickly put his ear to it.

Empress Xiao stood behind and watched Aunt Qi comb Lin Wanyan's hair unhurriedly, she waited patiently for two quarters of an hour, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "Enough, this palace has no patience to wait any longer, go, bring her over to this palace!" ”

"Pastoral rumor, Ying'er's parents died because they saved me, you must help the eldest mother fulfill this wish and raise her well!" Aunt Qi pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Hmmm! Pastoral rumors, aunt, don't worry! But the pastoral rumor was already in tears.

At this time, the two guards grabbed Aunt Qi's arm on the left and the right, wanting to escort her away.

saw that her arm shook, and the two guards were immediately shocked back a few steps.
