Chapter 10: Released from prison
After the officers and soldiers left, the cell returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
In the dark cell, Ye Lingxi was squatting in the corner of the wall, so sleepy that she nodded and didn't dare to sleep, thinking about the mouse just now, she was very scared. If you accidentally fall asleep, will the rat crawl on you? Will it climb to the face? Will it bite? There was no sound at all in the silent cell, Ye Lingxi listened carefully, for fear that the "squeak" of the rat would come again.
The more Ye Lingxi thought about it, the more scared he became, and even regretted it a little. If you just gambled and escaped with the man in black, maybe you might really be rescued!
Fortunately, no rats reappeared for the rest of the night.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the cell from the small skylight, Ye Lingxi's tense nerves were relaxed, and finally he couldn't bear the surging sleepiness and fell asleep in the sun.
At this time, Murong Chengan was anxiously waiting for the results of Zhao Ping's investigation in the mansion. At the same time, he was also secretly thinking about Ye Lingxi's sacrifice of the puppet in public at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, even if the truth is found out, the queen will seize this handle and make it more difficult, how can everyone be convinced?
In fact, Murong Chengan has the biggest chip in his hand, and that is the queen's handle. If she used this handle to threaten the queen, she would not dare to make things difficult. But if that's the case, it will inevitably arouse the queen's suspicions, how to choose, Murong Chengan hesitated.
Ye Lingxi's appearance was an accident and a surprise. Murong Cheng'an's heart has always been filled with hatred, and he never thought that there would be any kind of woman who could enter his heart. He felt a mysterious temperament in Ye Lingxi's body, which made people can't help but want to get close to him. Ye Lingxi is like a treasure, there will always be mysterious treasures that can be unearthed, and he is really reluctant to let Ye Lingxi die unjustly like this. And her maintenance of herself, the sense of security of being protected behind her, Murong Chengan has not experienced it for a long time.
Just when Murong Chengan was at a loss, things took a major turn. Suddenly news came from the palace that the queen had found out the truth and handed over the villain to the emperor for disposal. Princess An's gift was transferred by a palace maid who loved Prince An, and Princess An's original gift was a jade pendant. Now that Princess An's innocence has been proven, the emperor dictated, and Princess An was immediately released from prison.
Soon, Ye Lingxi, who looked inexplicable, was sent back to King An's Mansion.
"Lady! You're finally back! Woowoo...... Where have you been? I miss you so much......"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm not back!"
Although Ye Lingxi was very glad that there was no danger this time, he was also very puzzled. She didn't believe that the emperor suddenly wanted to open it, and decided to let herself go. The weirdest thing is the queen, it turned out that the queen found out the truth? It's good if the queen doesn't fall into the well, how can she clear her grievances? There is also the biggest suspicion, her gift is obviously a fake bouquet, where did the jade pendant come from?! Moreover, after arriving in the palace, she has been holding the box, how could anyone transfer the contents of the box?
Ye Lingxi deeply felt that there was a conspiracy in this. She always believed that the gift was transferred in King An's mansion! There is also the man in black who broke into the prison last night, I don't know if the man in black has anything to do with these things.
Murong Chengan's tall body nestled in Ye Lingxi's arms, allowing Ye Lingxi to gently pat his back. There was a clear flash of light in his tear-stained eyes.
Murong Che was anxiously waiting for Zhao Ping to send him news in the palace, but as a result, he didn't expect the imperial sister-in-law to turn the danger into a disaster so easily. At the same time, he also did not understand the queen's actions. Could it be that the imperial sister-in-law is the queen's person? This doesn't make sense, if the imperial sister-in-law is the queen's person, then the queen doesn't need to hurt the imperial sister-in-law to prison at all! Murong Che decided to have the opportunity to go out of the palace to discuss with Murong Cheng'an.
In an inconspicuous house on the outskirts of Beijing.
A figure in a black cloak slowly turned around after hearing his subordinates' greetings. Because the cloak covered the face, the face of the person could not be seen, but judging from the figure, it should be a woman.
"Is Xi'er out of prison?"
"Back to the master, the princess has returned to King An's Mansion safely."
"Good. In recent times, all operations have been stopped, as low as possible, and all on standby. ”
"Yes, master!"
Ye Lingxi, who returned to King An's Mansion, was determined to find out the traitor in the palace as soon as possible. If she doesn't find out the mole for a day, she feels that she can't live a down-to-earth life for a day.
Now there may be clues left in the mansion is the gift that Ye Lingxi originally prepared for the Queen Mother - the fake bouquet. Hopefully, the mole hasn't had time to dispose of the fake bouquet yet.
Ye Lingxi called Xiaolian and gave an order.
Xiaolian moved very quickly and was quickly prepared. She erected a platform in the middle of the main courtyard, on which a statue of the Buddha was placed, and some pastries and fruits were arranged. Then, Xiaolian summoned all the subordinates in the palace, saying that it was to pray for the blessing of the palace, and everyone should kneel in the courtyard for an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Lingxi slipped into the rooms of the people and began to rummage. In extraordinary times, Ye Lingxi can no longer take care of those benevolence and morality. In this world of the jungle, life and safety are threatened, and it is important to save your life first. Those innocent subordinates can only stand up to them.
Fortunately, Ye Lingxi really found her fake bouquet in a girl's cabinet, which turned out to be Xiao Rong who had medicated herself. Ye Lingxi's back was cold, at that time she was defenseless and asked her to medicate herself, if she had mixed some poison with the medicine at that time, then she would have died a long time ago! It's dangerous!
Ye Lingxi wanted to rush out with a fake bouquet, pull out Xiao Rong, and punish her severely. But she had barely taken a few steps before she paused.
No, it's useless to find out Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong must not be the mastermind behind the scenes. She's just a tool for the enemy to deal with her.
So, Ye Lingxi put the fake bouquet back in its original position. She wants to keep Xiao Rong, put a long line, and catch big fish! She wants to see who is behind this!
At the same time, Ye Lingxi silently wrote down the people in the same room as Xiao Rong, who were the other three girls who were responsible for sprinkling and sweeping outside the courtyard.
Although Xiao Rong is listed as a key suspect, the people in the same room as her are just as suspicious! If the other person is a mole, it is not impossible to hide the fake bouquet in Xiao Rong's cabinet after dropping the fake bouquet. Or, there is more than one person who is a mole, and it is not impossible.
Ye Lingxi simply wanted to praise his wit.
"Lady! What are you doing? ”
"Ahh
Ye Lingxi sneaked into the rooms of the people below, and experienced some inner turmoil after discovering the fake bouquet. Murong Chengan's voice suddenly appeared, which really startled Ye Lingxi.
"Oh, Xiao An'an, you scared me to death......"
"The lady is not afraid!"
Murong Chengan walked in front of Ye Lingxi as he spoke, learned Ye Lingxi's movements, and patted Ye Lingxi's chest with his hand.
After a few shots, Ye Lingxi reacted, and his face immediately turned red, and then slapped away Murong Cheng's hand on his chest.
Murong Chengan secretly looked at Ye Lingxi's red face, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although this woman is thin, she still has a lot of material on her chest.
"Lady, you haven't told me what you're doing!"
Murong Chengan held back a smile, his handsome face full of doubts.
Ye Lingxi led Murong Cheng'an to Xiao Rong's cabinet and showed him the fake bouquet.
"Xiao An'an, this bouquet is the gift I originally prepared for your imperial grandmother. But I was dropped by a bad girl. I asked Xiaolian to call everyone to the yard just to find out this bad girl. ”
"Wow! What a beautiful flower! ”
Murong Cheng'an's focus is always not on punctuality, Ye Lingxi is used to it.
"Lady, can you give this to me?"
"We can't take this yet, I'll make you another one if you like."
"Why can't you take this? Isn't this what the lady did herself? ”
Ye Lingxi felt that it must not be a wise move to explain to Murong Chengan about putting a long line to catch big fish.
"This one was taken by the bad girl, and it's dirty. Xiao An'an doesn't want this, I'll make you a new one tomorrow! ”
"Good! I listen to the lady! ”
Ye Lingxi was very satisfied with Murong Cheng'an's obedience. There was some colored paper left over from the last time I made a fake bouquet, just enough to make another bouquet for Xiao An'an.
In the Royal Palace.
"What is the origin of this Ye Lingxi? Isn't she just a cousin's daughter? Why did a mysterious organization on the rivers and lakes come to protect her? ”
The queen's mental state is very bad, and the whole person is about to fall into madness.
"This ...... The old slave couldn't figure it out either. ”
The queen and her personal grandmother, Mama Yu, were puzzled in the palace.
It turned out that not long after Ye Lingxi was imprisoned, the queen received a secret letter, and the other party actually grabbed her a lot of handles and threatened her to clear Ye Lingxi's guilt immediately, otherwise her secret would be made public.
The queen saw that the other party was real, so she had to hurriedly find a palace maid to be a scapegoat, and took her to the emperor and the queen mother to admit that because she had a crush on Prince An, she had a grudge against Princess An, so she secretly transferred the gift in the box while Princess An was not paying attention, and took out a jade pendant decently, saying that it was originally in Princess An's gift box.
The emperor was already worried about how to rescue Ye Lingxi, but the queen took the initiative to provide a criminal at this time, of course, the emperor took advantage of the situation, executed the girl, and immediately sent someone to the prison to release Ye Lingxi.
Thinking back to the contents of the secret letter, the queen felt a cold sweat break out on her back. It's horrible...... Someone knew all about her.
"Pen and ink waiting! This palace asks for a letter to your cousin, and you will send it yourself. Be careful! This palace should ask clearly, what is going on with this Ye Lingxi! ”
The queen's sharp face gradually became hideous. She couldn't accept that her handle was in the hands of a mysterious organization, and it was like a ticking time bomb that kept her up at night. The other party was very mysterious, so that she couldn't find any clues at all. Now only Ye Lingxi's clue remains. She believes that Ye Lingxi's identity must be boring!
