Chapter Eighty-Four: Punishment in the Court and Escorted into the Cave
Seeing off Eunuch Dong, Aunt Tang walked over with a smile.
"Please, you guys, you'll miss it when you go to the barracks!"
So the two old aunts came up, pushed Yi Xue and Zhou Rong, and pushed them out of the small courtyard.
The officials and maids who were hiding on the side shook their heads when they saw this situation, and whispered: "Alas, I came here to be obedient, and I have only been here for a few days, and I was sent to the barracks." ”
"Isn't it good to send it to the barracks?" Wang asked.
"What do you think they're going to do in the barracks? In the barracks, she worked as a slave girl during the day, and at night she had to act like a prostitute, and if she was disobedient, she was locked up and left to be disposed of by the sergeant, which was worse than a prostitute. ”
When Wang heard this, he was secretly anxious about Yi Xue, but he was helpless, so he hurriedly followed everyone to work.
In the cave, Yi Xue and Zhou Rong were lying on the stone steps, and Yi Xue slowly woke up.
Through the rusty iron fence, by the faint moonlight, Yi Xue found that there were smooth stone walls all around, remembering what happened during the day, they were knocked out by two old aunts with wooden pestles, presumably this is the cave room.
Yi Xue turned her head to look down, although she could sense the small space of the cave, but the darkness in it was like a bottomless abyss, making people shudder, and the rancid and musty smell from below, like the smell in the prison, accumulated too much pain, death and curses, which made people sick, but they had to inhale their noses.
"Rong'er, wake up." Yi Xue called Zhou Rong and pushed gently.
Zhou Rong slowly opened her eyes, although she was still a little dizzy, but when she saw the situation in front of her, she immediately woke up.
"Girl, is this the cave?"
"Presumably."
Yi Xue climbed down the narrow stone steps to the iron fence, and she tried to push it with internal force, but the iron fence did not move.
"Rong'er, this cave is underground, only the part of the iron fence is on the ground, this iron fence is locked tightly, even if there is a way to escape from this cave, we are wearing shackles, it is difficult to escape from the inner courtyard of this deep palace."
"I wonder if Prince Murong and Qinghu know that we are being locked up here."
"If I escape, I will definitely kill that black-hearted Jia Niangniang with the girl."
Zhou Rong pounded the iron grille and gritted her teeth.
"Let's see if anyone comes to save us in the past three days, otherwise we won't be able to help us when we get to the barracks!"
"It's all to blame for being too reckless, if I listen to the girl, just bear with it." Zhou Rong burst into tears of self-reproach.
"I don't blame you, even if there is no matter today, Empress Jia will not let me go, she is afraid that she has already calculated it, thinking about what my Yang family was guilty of back then, and she is still charged with rebellion."
Yi Xue smiled bitterly and reached out to wipe the tears on Zhou Rong's face, but her heart calmed down at this time.......
After a long time, Yi Xue seemed to see a figure sneakily coming by the moonlight, as if she was looking for something, and she was afraid of being discovered.
Yi Xue settled down and patted Zhou Rong, "Rong'er, look at it." ”
"Girl, it looks like it's the sister of the Wang family." Zhou Rong also looked out carefully.
At this time, the figure had already approached, and looked around again, to make sure that there was no one around, she squatted down and called softly: "Miss Mu, Miss Zhou." ”
"Sister Wang"
"I have two hard nest heads here, which I saved from me, so you can eat them quickly." After speaking, Wang took out two things like black and hard steamed buns from his arms and handed them in.
"It's not much, but it's always hungry."
"Thank you, sister Wang." Yi Xue was full of gratitude.
In this impersonal place, everyone seems to have become numb, and even many people's hearts have been distorted, such as the old officials and maids, and even more so the old aunts.
"Sister Wang, if my girl and I can get out, we will definitely rescue you too." Zhou Rong gnawed on the hard nest and said.
Wang smiled bitterly: "Okay, I hope you can escape, the woman has entered the barracks, it is really terrible." ”
Although Wang didn't think that Yi Xue and Zhou Rong would be able to escape, she really hoped that they could escape.
"Alas, don't worry about the sister of the Wang family, even if you enter the barracks, it's a little harder and tiring, I, Zhou Rong, am not afraid, I'm just worried about my girl."
Looking at Zhou Rong's innocent face, Wang sighed secretly, but she didn't want to tell the truth, she was worried that the two girls would kill themselves before they arrived at the barracks.
"I'll go first, it's been a long time, I'm afraid of being suspected, you have to take care."
After saying that, Wang got up and left.
"Sister Wang is really a good person, but it's a pity that she was harmed like this by Jia Mi."
"Alas!"
Yi Xue looked at the back of Wang's departure and sighed.
It is said that since Murong Jia entered the court with Yi Xue, he entered the palace from time to time to inquire about the news by looking at Xuanhua's name.
The day after Yi Xue entered the cave, Murong Jia came to the palace as usual, and just as he was about to leave the palace, he met Jia Mi, who was about to enter the palace.
When Jia Mi saw Murong Jia, he stepped forward and asked, "Prince Murong has come to see the princess again, is there really a new person who has forgotten the old one?" ”
"What new man, old man? I am the princess's future concubine, and the princess is in poor health, shouldn't I go into the palace to visit? ”
"I think the prince still wanted to marry that Mu Yixue as the prince concubine? Now Mu Yixue is assigned to the court, no, it is Yang Yun who is assigned to the court, and the prince really doesn't want to visit? ”
Remembering that Murong Jia once wanted to marry Mu Yixue, Jia Mi decided that Murong Jia was not sincere to Xuanhua, but was just a political marriage for the interests of Xianbei.
"What does Lu Guogong mean by this? Didn't Lu Guogong also want to marry the daughter of the criminal minister as a concubine, and the fate of the little daughter of the Yang family today is not Lu Guogong's masterpiece? ”
Jia Mi was robbed, and he was not annoyed, he smiled: "It seems that Prince Murong is still unhappy, man, if you like a woman, just have fun, this woman still has a chance, but she herself is not interested in looking for death." ”
When Murong Jia heard Jia Mi's words, he held back his anger, looked like he had nothing to do, and rolled his eyes and said: "This prince is the princess's future concubine, and the princess is the prince and concubine chosen by my father Khan for me, how could I fail the princess for a guilty slave in the court!" ”
"What Prince Murong said is extremely true, it is Jia Mi who is abrupt, everyone will still be relatives in the future, please forgive Prince Murong!"
Jia Mi accompanied the smiling face, and then pretended to be mysterious: "I just came out of the Niangniang Palace, and the Niangniang knew that the remnants of the Yang family were sent to the court, so she lost her temper and sent Eunuch Dong to the court in person to pass on the mother's message. ”
Jia Mi paused after speaking, watching Murong Jia's reaction.
"Oh? The mother's word is a big deal, but it is given to death. The death of a sin slave in this palace still needs a trip to the eunuch, it seems that the mother really hates the remnants of the Yang family! Murong Jia said lightly.
"No, no, the mother loves the princess, since the saint said that no one can be killed within three months, there will be no dead in the palace."
"Then what is Eunuch Dong going to do?"
Niangniang asked the eunuch to pass on the decree to put the Yang daughter and her maidservant in the cave room, and three days later they were sent to the camp to be prostitutes. I wonder if King Langya will be as calm as Prince Murong when he hears this news? ”
Jia Mi couldn't help but laugh evilly as she spoke.
"King Langya is still grounded, and now he is also unable to protect himself, and he can still take care of the whereabouts of a sin slave? Lu Guogong is really salty and eats radishes, and he doesn't worry about it! ”
Saying that, Murong Jia looked too lazy to take care of you, got on the wind, and took the Qinghu away.
"Grandpa Guo, will Prince Murong inform King Langya to save the remnants of the Yang family?" Jia Liu asked.
"I'm really afraid that they won't save it!"
"You two go and keep an eye on Murong Jia and report his whereabouts to me." Jia Mi pointed to the two personal guards beside him.
Jia Mi's handsome face showed an annoying evil smile again.
