"You said you were pregnant with my husband's flesh and bones, is there any proof?" Mrs. Cui's voice was very calm, and there was no disgust in the apricot eyes that stared at Yu Niang, as if she was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"Madam, the concubine naturally has evidence." Yu Niang silently suppressed her tears, she lowered her head, and took out a mugwort green longevity mountain stone seal from her sleeve.

Artemisia Yelu is the best grade in Shoushan stone, and ordinary rich and noble people can't take it out, let alone a background like Yu Niang.

The pain in Mrs. Cui's eyes flashed away. She said lightly, "What does a seal prove?" Even if it is engraved with the name of Grandpa Guo, it may be counterfeited by someone with a heart. ”

After Mrs. Cui finished speaking, she glanced at Kong Zhonggui, and the corners of her lips pursed with a faint sarcasm: "With the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is really a very cost-effective deal to bring down the hereditary duke of this dynasty with a precious seal." ”

"Madam, is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who framed him, it's not that you and I can count it. There is no evidence, so it is better to listen to what Yu Niang has to say. ”

Kong Siquan's eyes fell on the delicate Jade Niang with pear blossoms and rain, and ordered the guards: "Bring a piece of rice paper." ”

"Don't bother the nobles." Yu Niang raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from her eyes.

She took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from her sleeve and spread it on the ground, and then put the Ai Ye Lushoushan stone seal in her hand to her red lips and pressed it the silk handkerchief.

After doing all this, Yu Niang took the seal back into her sleeve, she held up the handkerchief with both hands, and said with low eyebrows: "Madam, Grandpa Guo is good at gold and stone and seal carving, and his carving and techniques, you should be familiar with it." ”

Yu Niang's soft voice sounded mean and cowardly, but Mrs. Cui could tell at a glance the provocation and ridicule hidden in her eyebrows.

The Boling Cui clan has strict rules, that is, there are thousands of family rules. Although Mrs. Cui's father also had several concubines, if these people made Mrs. Cui's mother unhappy, they would either be sold or killed directly.

Mrs. Cui looked at the jade lady in front of her, if it was in the past, she would probably have to bite her silver teeth. But with the letter of the secret collusion between the grandfather of the country and the rebel king Wei Jian in front, Mrs. Cui was very calm after seeing the engraving on the silk handkerchief.

Where is it more terrible for a man to raise an outer room. Mrs. Cui pursed her lips, and the afterglow from the corner of her eyes fell on Kong Si's whole body, who was watching the play, and her willow eyebrows were bent.

"Yu Niang, I believe what you say."

When Yu Niang heard this, her face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and one hand subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen.

"Ma'am, are you really willing to let me in?" Yu Niang said with tears of joy.

A flash of disgust flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, she curled her lips, and her tone sounded very compassionate: "You also said that you can't let the Xie family's flesh and blood be left behind. As the head mother of Xie Guogong's mansion, I still have this bit of energy. ”

Mrs. Cui laughed at herself in her heart: she is getting old, and there is an extra concubine who is younger than her grandson, if this turmoil passes, I don't know how the women in the capital will laugh at her.

"Yu Niang, thank you Madame for your kindness! Thank you, Madame, for your kindness. Yu Niang's forehead touched the floor tiles and bowed three times to Mrs. Cui.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, don't be too happy too soon." Mrs. Cui picked up the handkerchief in her hand and covered the corners of her mouth.

When Yu Niang heard this, the expression on her face was a little dull: "Madam, what do you mean by this?" Is he teasing Yu Niang? ”

"On the way here, did you see Jin Wuwei outside the mansion?" Mrs. Cui answered the question, and her condescending gaze carefully examined any subtle expression on Yu Niang's face.

"Madam, Yu Niang saw it when she got off the sedan chair." Yu Niang thought of the golden-armored guards outside the mansion, as well as the long knives full of murderous aura on their waists, her delicate body trembled slightly, and the fear on her face flashed.

Mrs. Cui thought coldly: This is "beating snakes with sticks". Only on her front foot did she let go of her to enter the house, and this no longer called herself a "cheap concubine" on her back foot. If you really let this into the Guogong Mansion, there will only be one more seed of chaos in the future!

Mrs. Cui suppressed the rumbling thoughts in her heart, pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Since you have to enter the Guogong Mansion sooner or later, I won't hide the current situation from you." ”

Mrs. Cui's words paused, and there was a hint of ridicule between her eyebrows, and she said in a flat voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sued the Duke of Xie Guo Mansion for rebellion. Grandpa Guo once reported to the rebel king Wei Jian in the 'Tanmen Incident' launched before His Majesty ascended the throne, and asked Wei Jian to prepare in advance. The two armies fought, and His Majesty's pro-army did not survive one in ten, and His Majesty only entered the capital and set things right after nine deaths. Jade Niang, do you understand? ”

When Mrs. Cui said these words, she didn't expect Yu Niang to understand. But such a threat as raiding the family and exterminating the clan, unless Yu Niang is too stupid, she should understand it. Even for the sake of the fetus in her womb, for the sake of glory and wealth, she should not talk nonsense.

"Copying, raiding the house, destroying the door?" Yu Niang was so frightened that her teeth were chattering, she opened a pair of innocent and charming eyes, and looked at Mrs. Cui ignorantly and innocently.

"Madam, are you talking about the rebel king Wei Jian? The five princes born by the first emperor, but isn't he already dead? ”

"That's right, Wei Jian died in the Tanmen Incident." Mrs. Cui raised her hand and rubbed her temples a few times, this jade lady didn't look smart, Mrs. Cui was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, which would make the situation of the Duke of Xie Guo even worse.

"Your Majesty, the true dragon emperor, those villains who want to make waves will not end well." Kong Siquan was right in front of him, and Mrs. Cui couldn't say it too clearly, so she could only say half threatening and half admonishing.

Kong Siquan didn't take Mrs. Cui's little trick in his eyes, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

The little eunuch standing behind Kong Si's body hurriedly took it, opened the brocade box, took out a handful of letter paper inside, and sent it to Yu Niang.

Mrs. Cui's eyes jumped, and she only heard Kong Siquan say in a weird manner: "When Jin Wuwei searched the mansion, he happened to catch a small guy in the Guogong Mansion, holding a copper basin in his hand, and in the middle of the night, he wanted to bury the paper ashes in the copper basin." Although he was stopped by Jin Wuwei, unfortunately, there was no evidence. ”

"Kong Zhonggui, if there is no evidence, it is better not to talk nonsense." Mrs. Cui sneered as she held back the uneasiness in her heart.

Kong Siquan didn't seem to hear Mrs. Cui's ridicule, and he continued: "Fortunately, Jin Wuwei found something interesting in Xie Guogong's outer house......

Kong Siquan's gaze fell on the kneeling Yu Niang in the hall, and his eyes seemed to be smiling: "Yu Niang, you come to recognize Xie Guogong's handwriting, if you dare to have a lie......

Kong Siquan laughed cruelly, and his cold tone was like a demon crawling out of hell: "Our family will skin the little thing in your belly alive." ”

Yu Niang raised her head with a "brush", her eyes met Kong Siquan's pair of gloomy triangular eyes, she couldn't help but shudder, her body trembled, and she trembled and said: "Noble, the concubine must know everything." ”

The green tendons on Mrs. Cui's forehead kept jumping, and her eyes fell on the letter that Yu Niang had received, but the light in the room was too dim, and Mrs. Cui couldn't see what was written on it even though she tried her best.

"Yu Niang, where are the 'Seven Trenches' and 'Eight Treasure Nunnery' mentioned in this letter?" Kong Siquan had read the letter, and he had searched through the capital and there was no place mentioned in the letter.

Therefore, Kong Siquan deduced that most of the letters written on them were coded words. These code words, except for Xie Guogong and the people who are secretly in contact with Xie Guogong, probably no one can understand them.

Yu Niang's gaze swept quickly over the letters, especially the places circled by the cinnabar pen: a dazzling red, like a ball of congealed blood......

Yu Niang couldn't help but shudder, and said with a crying voice: "Back to the nobles, the concubines, the concubines don't know ......."

Without His Majesty's orders, Kong Siquan would not dare to torture Mrs. Cui, but with a cheap maid like Yu Niang, Kong Siquan would not care about her life or death. He shouted, "Come, come up with the instruments of torture." ”

As soon as Kong Siquan finished speaking, two guards walked into the hall carrying a tray of torture instruments.

I saw that on the wooden tray were placed all kinds of torture tools: axes, iron hoops, wooden wedges, long needles, bamboo clips...... These strange torture instruments were all stained with blood, and Yu Niang's frightened face turned white.

Mrs. Cui's face was gloomy, if this jade lady couldn't endure the torture and said something that would be unfavorable to the Guogong Mansion......

Mrs. Cui could only endure the nausea in her heart and plead with Yu Niang: "Kong Zhonggui, although Yu Niang is from a humble background, but what she is pregnant with in her belly is the flesh and blood of the grandfather of the country, and in terms of blood, she is still His Majesty's cousin and niece, can you please open up the net......"

Hearing this, Kong Siquan smiled gloomily: "For the sake of a little thing that doesn't know whether it's a man or a woman, you have to let our family open up the net, madam, what you think is too beautiful!" ”

He put away the grim smile on his face and shouted, "Do it!" ”

"Noble, noble! The concubine says everything! Say anything! ”

Looking at the guards who were constantly approaching her, Yu Niang was so frightened that she was crying, where was there still a little bit of Chu Chu's charming state.

Kong Siquan's eyebrows relaxed, his gloomy face instantly became kind, and he said softly: "Little lady, you'd better not tease our family, otherwise you'll ......"

Kong Siquan snorted, and the threat in his words was self-evident.

Yu Niang nodded desperately. After seeing the guards retreat into the corner, she exhaled as if she had survived, and sat down on her knees as if she had been killed.

Yu Niang's friction made Kong Siquan's expression faintly reveal some impatience.

Seeing this, Yu Niang hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, and tried to recall: "The concubines of the 'Qitong Trench' and the 'Eight Treasure Nunnery' mentioned in the letter really don't know ......."

Seeing that Kong Siquan had a tendency to change his face again, Yu Niang hurriedly said tremblingly: "Don't be angry first, the concubine knows where one of these letters was sent......

"Oh?" Kong Siquan suddenly came to his senses.

Kong Siquan's question gave Yu Niang great confidence.

She looked at Mrs. Cui's murderous gaze and plucked up the courage to say, "This letter ...... The letter was sent to Cai Fu ......"

"That's right, it's Cai Fu." After thinking about it carefully, Yu Niang repeated it with great certainty.

Although there are several Cai mansions in Beijing, Mrs. Cui still has an extremely ominous premonition in her heart. She slapped her palm on the table: "! Hugh is talking nonsense! ”
