Chapter 256: House Arrest
Yun Yao lay on the familiar bed, looking at the familiar background around her, and couldn't help laughing.
What is different from before is that although she can't go in and out of this small courtyard at will, there are still many people who come to serve her.
But now it's different, even Cuihu has been transferred to another place by King Xi, here, everything has to be done by herself, and no maid will set foot in such a remote small courtyard.
However, the king of the stream would not let her starve to death, and a lame pock-faced guard brought her three meals a day every day.
It's just that she won't eat most of the time.
Corresponding to her emaciated belly is her rapidly emaciated figure.
The body, which was not very fat, was now like a skeleton, and the bones on its body were about to bulge.
Lost weight, even with her spirit is not very good, often sitting on the bed, looking at the gradually recovering spring outside the window and smiling weirdly.
The guard came to deliver a few meals, and was very frightened by her look and actions a few times, and then cried and shouted to give up this job.
There is a guard named Liu Gang in the Xiwang Mansion, this person is a gambler, and he looks decent, but he has done a lot of stealing chickens and dogs behind his back.
No one did the work of delivering food to Yun Yao, so the guard at the beginning thought of an idea and took out a tael of silver, and if any guard was willing to take this job, the money would be given to whomever the money would go.
Liu Gang is an open-minded person, thinking that it is just to send a meal to an unfavored mother-in-law, and there should be nothing wrong.
What's more, this mother-in-law is still the side concubine of the original King of Creek, and she has some oil and water on her body, although she is now under house arrest, but no one usually goes to that small courtyard, even if he enters the house, or robs her of something, it is estimated that no one will know.
Besides, he is a big man, even if the woman struggles or shouts, no one will know.
If this mother-in-law lets others know, he will not admit it, just an unfavored concubine, where so many people care.
Now the king of the stream is just giving her a bite to eat and not letting her starve to death.
Liu Gang took the silver and took over the job.
Since then, the person who brought her food has changed.
Sitting by the window, when she saw through the window that the person who came to bring her food every day had changed one, Yun Yao smiled at the person meaninglessly.
The smile was a bit infiltrating, and even Liu Gang, who had always boasted of being bold, was stunned in his heart.
But that's nothing compared to money.
In the past, the people who came to deliver the food would bring it to the door, and then turn around and leave with the plates and the like left from yesterday, and there would never be a half-stop for half a minute.
But the person who came to deliver the meal today seemed to be a little different, and he actually walked in with a food box.
The contents of the food box were placed on the table, and the man looked around the room.
"Yao Niangzi why haven't you come to eat, this dish is simpler than before, but people still have to eat, I see that you didn't use much for yesterday's meal, isn't it to taste."
When Liu Gang is not eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he is still very good at bluffing people, and he is also like a dog.
Yun Yao retracted her gaze from the window and looked over expressionlessly, "Since it has been delivered, then you can go out, I don't need someone to serve me here for the time being." ”
That arrogant tone made Liu Gang quench her very much in his heart.
It's just a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and now even a maid can step on her head, and I don't know what she's still arrogant.
But thinking of what he was going to do, Liu Gang still squeezed out a smile on his face, "What are you talking about, Yao Niangzi, I see that you have a lot of places to serve here." ”
As he spoke, Liu Gang walked towards her bed very invisible.
The bed is very messy, she hasn't cleaned it up for a long time, and every day when she wakes up, she sits by the window and looks out of the window in a daze, anyway, no matter what the bed looks like, it won't disturb her sleep.
Putting away the messy quilt, Liu Gang didn't find anything valuable on it, took a deep breath, and shifted his gaze to the dresser by the window.
There are a few cabinets that are tightly locked.
It must be something more important to be locked up in such a situation.
If it was something that was rewarded by King Xi, Liu Gang's blood boiled.
As long as he takes out one of those good things and goes to the pawnshop, he can pay off the gambling debts he owed before.
But the cabinet is locked so tightly, it seems that this mother-in-law will not let people move easily.
If you want to touch it, the first thing you need to do is to gain her trust.
Yun Yao was sitting on the table at this time, eating the clear water cabbage in front of her without distraction.
The dishes on the first day were not like this, and then these people became more and more perfunctory to themselves.
Yun Yao tugged at the corners of her mouth and ate it without changing her face.
The person who came to deliver the food hadn't left yet, and was in the house to clean up the room for her, Yun Yao didn't really want to pay attention to it, so she sat down with her own business.
She is a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and she doesn't know what to please.
"Okay, it's been cleaned up, Yao Niang, the villain will step back first, if you lack anything, tell me too, I'll try to get your voice out." Liu Gang said with a smile.
He is not ugly, but his personality and temperament are poor, so his reputation is not good.
But Yun Yao didn't know this, and now what appeared in front of her was a man who smiled more brightly and would help her when she was down, regardless of pay.
Yun Yao's heart moved.
It's not because of his looks, but because of some side thoughts.
King Xi pays the most attention to his face, when she was happy, he was the happiest, and he couldn't wait for the news to get out, and then he was afraid that something would happen to her, and even locked her up here to raise the baby.
Even though she is no longer favored by King Creek now, even if King Creek puts her under house arrest here, she is still King Creek's side concubine on the surface.
If you are mixed with the man next to you under this name.
Yun Yao's mind couldn't help but begin to fantasize about what it would be like when King Xi knew about this.
His face must have been very exciting at that time.
His own woman got involved with a lowly guard.
But King Xi can't kill her, no matter what, she is also the daughter of Prime Minister Yun, although Prime Minister Yun is now in decline in the court, but he is also quite deep-rooted, and King Xi cannot be easily offended.
So he will silently suppress this matter.
Thinking of King Xi's unspeakable appearance, and even having to tolerate the appearance of cuckolding him, Yun Yao's heart was refreshed, and an idea quietly took shape in his heart.
