Chapter 323: Tryst
Tuoba Yehuan smiled, touched Liu Ruomei's hair and said, "Very good, the news of Wan's poisoning, this hall will send someone to spread to the ears of the Wan family." It is said that Wan's can be poisoned so smoothly, thanks to you. ”
Liu Ruomei's eyes were full of charm, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "Your Highness just remembers, but I forgot what I promised Mei'er." ”
Tuoba Yehuan stretched out his hand, hugged Liu Ruomei's waist, leaned over and kissed her, and said, "Don't worry, when the palace defeats the prince, you will be crowned the crown prince at that time, and you will be the only concubine in the palace." ”
Liu Ruomei took a sip of the other party, her eyes were proud, but her mouth was coquettish: "Your Highness is not coaxing Mei'er with words, your concubine is Xiao Yumei." It's just that one day His Royal Highness will achieve what he wants, don't forget that the concubine is. ”
Tuoba Yehuan hooked the corners of his lips, raised his hand to stroke her hanging hair, and said: "This hall is just borrowing the momentum of her Xiao family now, and when things are over, she will be an outcast." How can this temple forget you? She is such an incomprehensible woman, where is your charm to match the heart of this palace. ”
Liu Ruomei curled the corners of her mouth and laughed, hearing Tuoba Yehuan's words, it was exactly what she wanted.
As he spoke, Tuoba Yehuan raised his hand to untie Liu Ruomei's coat, and the two hid behind the rockery, grinding their ears and temples.
Tuoba Yehuan heard the sound of the watchman, and then suddenly realized that a lot of time had passed, and couldn't help frowning: "You sneak out like this, the prince won't find out, right?" ”
Liu Ruomei knew the worry between the other party's eyebrows, raised her hand to hook the back of Tuoba Yehuan's neck, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the prince will definitely not wake up at this time." ”
Tuoba Yehuan noticed that there was something in Liu Ruomei's words, and then thought about it, and understood that the other party must have done something before he came out, and the corners of his lips hooked up an indifferent smile: "You woman, this palace likes it, and she is vicious enough!" It's a pity that the concubine is out and has no maiden background, otherwise the palace will carry the sedan chair eight in the morning, and marry you with red makeup for ten miles! ”
The two words have always been a thorn in Liu Ruomei's heart.
Liu Ruomei's flushed cheeks faded a little, her eyes were cold, and her red lips sighed faintly: "Heaven was unfair from the beginning, and it is because of this that Mei'er can be open-minded." Mei'er is just unwilling, just as unwilling as His Royal Highness. ”
"Don't worry, God owes you, and this palace will compensate you one by one one one day, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth." Tuoba Yehuan was very satisfied, and saw the same desire as himself in Liu Ruomei's eyes.
Liu Ruomei suppressed the endless hatred of fate in her eyes, and snuggled into Tuoba Yehuan's arms with a smile: "Mei'er believes in His Highness." ”
"It's not too early, you can go back first."
Liu Ruomei got up, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth and asked: "Your Highness, Mei'er has something she wants to inquire about with Your Highness, I don't know what the relationship between Princess Yi and King Yi is now?" ”
Inexplicably, she always wants to compete with Liu Mengyan in her heart.
Tuoba Yehuan didn't think much about it, and said directly: "I care so much about your sister? Rest assured, she is alive and well with King Yi on the Imperial Village! Among the many princes, I am afraid that only the sixth child is the most leisurely. ”
"Yes." Liu Ruomei barely showed a faint smile, and her heart ached faintly.
hateful, she was forced by swords day and night in this Chengqian Palace, and she was happy in front of the prince every night; And Liu Mengyan can be happy in front of Princess Yi without any worries. They are both sisters, why is one of them so bumpy, but the other is so good!
Tuoba Yehuan was too familiar with such eyes, so he naturally saw the unwillingness and jealousy in Liu Ruomei's eyes, hugged her waist, and said: "Don't worry, I will follow the main hall in the future, and when the main hall sits in the most supreme position in the world, when the time comes, there will be a little princess Yi, whatever you want." ”
"Mei'er believes that His Royal Highness will keep her life and wait for that day." Liu Ruomei nodded, the two didn't say more, got dressed and came out from behind the rockery separately
At this time, in the princess's bedroom, Shi sat on the couch with his eyes closed, waiting for the result of the torture.
The maid Wen Jie looked at the dark blue in the other party's eyes, and persuaded worriedly: "The hour is not early, Your Highness should go to bed early." After a night of torture to extract confessions, those girls will naturally vomit tomorrow, and they will all vomit out. You have to watch your body carefully, don't stay up like this. ”
Shi Shi had something in his heart, where could he sleep, sighed and said: "I thought that Wan's poisoning was a great thing for us, and we didn't have to bother to go to an enemy, but I didn't expect that this matter would have such a big impact on His Highness." knew that His Royal Highness would lose the support of the Wan family, and the palace would definitely quietly send someone to protect the Wan family's life. ”
Wen Jie stepped forward and persuaded: "Niangniang, how can you blame you for this matter, ask the slave to say that this matter must be the ghost of the Liu family behind the scenes." Think about it, in our house, she is the only one who doesn't deal with Wan's family, if she didn't poison her, who would it be. ”
"What you said, this palace has naturally thought about it, but everything needs to pay attention to evidence."
Saying that, the crown princess's eyes flashed with a fierce and said: "You have to keep an eye on this matter for the palace, if the maids around the Wan family are bought, you must pry open their mouths for the palace." ”
"The slave knows that she has already ordered her to go down for her mother." Wen Jie responded.
In the torture room, the dim candlelight flickered dangerously cold, and Wan's four personal maids, Holland, Piaoxue, Qingluo and Ning Xiu, were tied with their hands tied and set up on the torture wooden frame.
"Say, who secretly poisoned Concubine Wanfang?"
"The slave doesn't know."
"Not a slave."
……
One by one, they denied it in unison, begged for mercy repeatedly, and after a few teas of interrogation, the four of them were beaten all over their bodies and there was no good place on their bodies.
"Mama, please, spare the slaves, the slaves really don't know anything."
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, today I want to see if it's the hard mouths of your little maids, or the hard hands of my grandmother."
The old man who was in charge of the torture was the crown princess, Mama Wu, who had long been accustomed to such interrogations and didn't care about it.
Mama Wu turned to the little maid and said, "Come on, bring out the things outside for the old body." ”
"Yes, Mama."
Immediately, the two servants came in carrying an iron stove, and saw that there was a fire on the iron stove, and there were many soldering irons stuck in it.
The four maids on the wooden frame cried even more when they saw this scene. In my mind, I almost came up with the scene of Naluo Iron imprinting on his body, sizzling.
"Mama spare your life, Mama spare your life, beg Mama to spare her life......"
Mama Wu picked up a Luo Tie without hurry, and said expressionlessly: "Your lives are in the hands of your self-sufficiency." Whether you want to live or not depends not on my grandmother, but on your own mouth. Let's say, who poisoned Concubine Wanfang, and who instructed him behind it! ”
Qingluo was the youngest of the four, and she was so scared that she subconsciously blurted out: "Yes...... Concubine Liu. Yes, definitely...... Concubine Liu, in the entire mansion, she is the only one who is at odds with our master, and the two always quarrel. ”
Mama Wu narrowed her cloudy eyes and stared at Qingluo without being impatient, "What do you know?" ”
Qingluo was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at Mama Wu at all, her eyes dodged and shook her head, and her voice suddenly lowered: "Slave maid...... Just guessing. ”
"Guess?" Mama Wu shouted coldly: "Without evidence, how can you allow a little girl to talk nonsense with red mouth and white teeth." With that, he pulled a soldering iron straight out of the iron furnace.
Seeing that the soldering iron was burning red and steaming white, Mama Wu walked towards Qingluo without hesitation.
"Mama spare her life, beg Mama to surround the slave and maid's life......" Qingluo was so frightened that she burst into tears and begged for mercy, seeing Mama Wu holding a soldering iron, she didn't mean to stop at all, and shouted in a raised voice: "Slave and maid...... I once saw Concubine Liu Shu secretly go out of the Chengqian Palace, and she deliberately dressed up as the palace maid Jade. ”
"Emerald?"
Mama Wu knew that this was Liu Ruomei's personal maidservant, and when she saw that the other party spit out some useful information from her mouth, she stopped approaching and asked in a cold voice: "Say, when did you see Concubine Liu secretly leaving the palace?" ”
Qingluo was stared at by Mama Wu's cold eyes, but she forced herself to calm down, quickly recalled when she had seen Liu Ruomei, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said: "Some time ago, when the slave maid accidentally broke the bird's nest boiled by Concubine Wanfang, and was punished by Concubine Wanfang for getting through the dining room again, she happened to bump into Concubine Liu Shu sneaking out of the palace. ”
Mama Wu didn't answer, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she gradually put down the soldering iron in her hand.
Although Qingluo's words cannot prove that the person who poisoned her is Concubine Liu Shu, this matter is also not trivial. As the person next to the crown princess, Mama Wu naturally knows that the other party is a thorn in the master's heart. After thinking about it for a while, Mama Wu said in a deep voice to the person next to her who was interrogating her: "You continue to interrogate these maids, be sure to find out the truth about Wan's poisoning, and go back to the crown princess." ”
"Mama, please rest assured, the slaves and maids will definitely handle this matter for the crown princess."
Mama Wu nodded, turned around and went to the princess's bedroom, and 1510 reported what Qingluo said to the princess: "Niangniang, this is the way things are, the old body suspects that there is something wrong with Concubine Liu. Even if Wan's affairs don't matter to her, Concubine Liu must have an ulterior secret. ”
"Let Hongu think about it." After listening to Mama Wu's report, the crown princess was speechless in surprise for a long time.
Seeing this, Wen Jie, who was standing aside, said to Mama Wu: "Mama, what you have done is already known, go back first and continue to torture Concubine Wan about the truth of poisoning." ”
Mama Wu bowed down and responded, "The slave and maid are retired." ”
There were only two people left in the room, Wen Jie and the crown princess, Wen Jie stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, if what Mama Wu said is true, then Concubine Liu is a bold and bold woman, and she dares to leave the Chengqian Palace at night without authorization." According to the slave maid, those who guard the door are afraid that they are not clean. ”
The crown princess pressed her forehead in annoyance: "The poisoning of Concubine Wan has not yet been investigated, why did a Liu Ruomei come out again, it really didn't let the concubine stop." ”
