Chapter 8: Confusion in the Cage

It's been a long time since I've been so quiet looking out of the window in a daze, although this window is a little small, a little high, and there are several iron fences, and even the moon has been cut into several parts.

Sitting in an iron cage, wearing a crescent-white robe, her hair didn't have time to be combed, she was just draped, and she had been sitting on a bed made of stone for several hours, she didn't know what she was in prison for this time, after all, everything she did from her background to what she did after entering the palace was worthy of a heavy sentence, and she was now worried about cocoons and Huanniang, who were inseparable from her.

As soon as Cocoon got up in the palace of Concubine Lan, he was defeated by this news, it is said that General Riveting rushed into Liuyunxuan before dawn with the palace guards, and directly took Mrs. Enchanting and threw her into the prison, although she knew that she was not tortured, but when she thought of her alone in the cold cell in the dark, Cocoon's heart was like a knife. He lost his sense of proportion for a while, and directly grabbed Concubine Lan and asked, "What are you going to do?" Why did you arrest her? What exactly did she do wrong? Concubine Lan was stunned by his momentum, since the first time he saw him, he had never looked so dangerous, staring at him as if he was spewing flames, wanting to burn himself and everyone to death.

"I, I, I don't know... I, really, don't know anything. The strength on the cocoon's hand became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to crush Lan Guifei's wrist, but suddenly, the cocoon caught a glimpse of the terrifying scar on Lan Guifei's palm, and instantly deflated again. Then he sat down on the collapse and said nothing.

Yan also got the news, sent into the palace for his own long-term plan, naturally he couldn't communicate with the riveting family, and now the riveting family is in trouble, if he asks directly, it will inevitably attract people's attention, so Yan Xiang is not in a hurry to find out the reason, but found a reason to discuss the establishment of the army, and invited the riveting general to meet the king together.

The three men with the highest position in the city, each with their own thoughts, gathered in the cocoon's study to discuss this kind of non-salty and non-light problem, the cocoon was still silent, and the riveting general seemed to have some taboos, Yan was anxious that the surface was still light and light, and he was stuck, Lan Guifei brought the young master of the riveting family and the prince of the riveting family, and came to meet him.

The prince still looks like a hanger, but the young master of the riveting family is eager, and Concubine Lan spoke first: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you are anxious about the imprisonment of Mrs. Enchanting, so she went to find her brother to ask clearly, this matter is related to the safety of the harem and the king, although my father is reckless, it is also for the sake of the king, and I hope that the king and Yan Xiang will listen to them explain the ins and outs before making a decision." ”

Cocoon pressed his anxiety away, "Then please let the two of you make it clear what crime Mrs. Enchanting has committed." "The young master of the riveting family, Yi, arched his hand and said: "The king, the night before yesterday, the lower official and the prince drank together, and then the prince was drunk, and told the lower official a secret, it is said that this bewitching lady, before entering the palace, turned out to be a dancing girl on the most floor, the stage name is enchanting, the lower official was very surprised when he heard it, so he looked for the internal official in charge of the affairs of the harem to inquire, the internal official said that the harem roster record, this enchanting lady is the palace maid who happened to be lucky after the king was drunk, and was given a name because of her slender figure, and the two compartments corresponded, and there were many doubts, so he went home and clarified his father, The father thought that although he could not find out about the crime of deceiving the bewitching lady, since he had any suspicions, he would always investigate it, so he put him in prison first to ensure that she would not hurt anyone in the harem, and then investigated. When the elder brother spoke, Concubine Lan carefully observed the king's expression, she thought that the king would be angry and disgusted when he knew that person was actually a dancing girl, but why, his face was so sad, so painful, so distressed...

Yes, after listening to Cocoon, his heart swelled with infinite distress, he felt that his previous suspicions were all about the harm of dye, she was just a dancing girl who was bought back by Yan involuntarily, and Yan only sent her in to humiliate herself, which shows how difficult her life is after leaving her hometown, so she will sell herself into that kind of place to beg for a living, and now she is even more guilty because of her cowardice all along.

The silence in the hall was broken by Yan Xiang: "How did the prince determine the identity of the bewitching lady?" ”

The prince who was leisurely watching the play on the side smiled and said: "This king is a frequent visitor to the most floor, this enchanting has been listed on the most floor, and this king has been going to the scene all day long, although she has been wearing a veil, but that figure, that eyebrows and eyes, this king can recognize it at a glance." Looking at his frivolous appearance, both Cocoon and Yan's expressions were extremely ugly. Yan Xiang asked again: "So, her true face is actually something that the prince has never seen." This time it was General Riveting who answered: "It's about the safety of the king, since there is already such a suspicion, this person is no longer suitable to stay in the harem, and if this person is indeed the most dancing girl, then she must have a bigger plan to sneak into the harem, and she can't stay in it." "So, General Riveting has already convicted her without evidence?" The cocoon's voice sharpened. "It's better to kill by mistake than to let go." The riveting general did not back down.

Seeing the stalemate, Concubine Lan spoke up: "According to the concubine, it really can't be determined based on the statement of the prince alone, it is better to let the elder brother go to the most floor to investigate first, and identify the true identity of the bewitching lady, if there is a difference, it is not too late to judge, so that the king can also feel at ease." "It's fine." Yan Xiang agreed, and Cocoon could only nod in agreement, so that at least for now, Dye's life was saved.

Dyed in the prison naturally didn't know the scene outside, she was wondering how to find a comfortable position on this stone bed, since she was locked in, she always felt uncomfortable, and she didn't know if she had been comfortable in the harem for a long time, she couldn't bear it at all, anyway, it was uncomfortable, her head was dizzy, her lower abdomen always had a faint pain, she occasionally dizzy when she looked at things, and she couldn't swallow the food she sent in, and finally, finally, on the third day she entered the cell, her eyes were black, and she fainted next to a mouthful of untouched lunch boxes. The jailer did not dare to delay, and immediately reported it to Yi, who knew that the king valued her, and before there was definite evidence, she absolutely could not have anything, so she had to arrange for a doctor to come to the prison to diagnose her.

It's strange, there is another life in the belly, I feel that I am still ignorant of the child's heart, how can I be a mother, this trip to the city is really worth it, even the birth of a baby can be experienced. What Yan saw when he walked into the prison was the scene of her leaning on the side of the bed alone, holding her stomach and pondering, he had always known that she was very beautiful, but the scene in front of him was still so beautiful that he didn't want to bother, her body had her own flesh and blood, this feeling was so wonderful, and the warm feeling that she had never had flowed from Yan's heart.

"Are you alright?" Yan returned to his usual high position

"It's okay, thank you Yan for your concern." There was a hint of provocation in Dye's consistent obedience, "Yan Xiang is here to confirm that I am pregnant?" ”

"The doctor has already told Benxiang that since he is pregnant, Benxiang will find a way to rescue you as soon as possible."

"Lao Yan is worried."

"You can keep it in peace, and I'll send someone to send some comfortable bedding and eating utensils later."

"It turns out that I can be a mother and a child so soon." She slandered her belly, but she couldn't hold back any polite words, and Yan didn't wait for her response, and went straight out of the prison. Sure enough, it didn't take long for all the items that Dye was used to in Liuyunxuan to appear in the originally cold cell, and even two Gong E's lived in the cell next door, just to be able to take care of Dye at any time.

And the cocoon who heard the news was tormented by ecstasy and worry, and he couldn't wait to rush to see the dye as soon as possible, the world could still be so gentle with him, and he was full of gratitude to her. So, he ordered the officials to grind and serve, and prepared to write down his first will of his own will since he inherited the throne, "Yan Xiang asks to see." The internal officials came in to pray, and without waiting for the cocoon to respond, Yan had already swaggered in as before, and as soon as he stood still, he beckoned the internal officials to stand down, leaving only him and the cocoon, and the study was cold for a while.

"If Lone wants to save her, neither she nor the child can be fine." Facing this enemy who has controlled most of his life, Cocoon said with the best courage he had.

"I've already arranged it, after all, I sent her to the palace, and it is useless for me to be revealed."

"Really, you're willing to help me save her?" Cocoon sees hope

"There will be results in two days, don't be impatient, don't act rashly at this time." After Yan finished speaking, he glanced at the will that Cocoon was writing, and his eyebrows were full of disdain.

"I, Lone knows." The cocoon reverted back to its submissive form.

Yan heard what he wanted to hear, so he left without looking back, looking at the back of him leaving, cocooning in his heart with mixed feelings, he and Dye wanted to shake Yan's position, but now that Dye has an accident, he can only rely on Yan to help, he has always known that he is incompetent, and now he would rather be at the mercy of others for the rest of his life than want to change Dye and return to himself safely. Self-loathing, worry, hatred, love, tortured him and almost collapsed.

Not far away, in the Tingxiang Hall of Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan, who was always graceful and glorious in the past, was like a wronged child at this time, curled up in the corner of the bed, with her hair scattered, her eyes scattered, hugging her knees, and constantly muttering: "Why? Why not me? ”

Two days later, in the study room of Zhong Zhengdian, Cocoon, Yan Xiang, General Riveting, and Wang Ye were all there. "Your Majesty, the lower officials were ordered by the king to investigate the identity of the bewitching lady, and they already had an eyebrow, and asked the king to bring the witness."

"Yun," Cocoon nodded

"Yes, take the owner of the most floor, Aunt Yu, and the three dancers on the most floor to the palace" As soon as the voice fell, the internal official led a group of people into the study, and as soon as they came in, they knelt down and shouted grievances, looking timid and afraid.

"Shut up, I'm calling you here today just to clarify the identity of the harem lady, you just need to answer honestly."

"Yes, yes, yes" After Yi's lesson, the warblers and Yanyan were quiet.

"Let's ask the real thing." Yan Xiang spoke, "Who is kneeling?" ”

"The old man is the boss of the most upstairs in the city, Wan Niang, this is Aunt Yu who is responsible for taking care of the girls in our building, and the other three are the most well-known dancing girls on the most floor, enchanting, delicate, and interpretive." As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

"Enchanting? Didn't the enchanting leave the most building a long time ago? Don't deceive you, Wan Niang, we're old acquaintances, you can't deceive me! "The prince is the first to attack.

"Lord Wang, the old body doesn't dare to lie to you, let alone lie in this expensive place, the enchanting did not perform for a while before, but she didn't leave, she just felt that she had been showing the same image for fear that the guests would get tired of seeing, so let her take a break."

"Humph! It's impossible, this king watched her perform every day before, and he would never recognize the wrong person, the bewitching lady in the harem is the dancing girl and the enchanting is right. ”

"There used to be a noble man in the harem with the same name as the bewitching man, and the old man would definitely not dare to have this name in the future." Wan Niang said sincerely.

"Don't worry about him, this king doesn't believe it, you must be afraid of being implicated and testify indiscriminately." The prince shook his fan and stepped forward, but his face became serious.

"Since we have different opinions, then why don't we let the prince braids them on the spot." Yan Xiang interrupted their back and forth.
