Chapter 274: Personally Patrolling the Cell
Gao Gonggong symbolically supported Ye Zhenzhen, and while no one was paying attention, he said high-sounding words in her ear.
"Thank you father-in-law for the point."
The corners of Ye Zhenzhen's lips hooked up a hint of mockery, hiding all her emotions under her face, and said sweetly on her lips.
"Lord Wang, the county lord...... It doesn't seem to be a big deal. ”
The ghost shadow guard in the distance stared quietly, and did not notice anything unusual, so he looked at Nangong Mu and said tentatively.
"It's nothing, just leave."
Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen personally received the things rewarded by Emperor Daqing, Nangong Mu's heart warmed up slightly, he looked away in a sneer, and commanded in a low voice.
Ye Zhenzhen accompanied Grandpa Gao to drink tea and talk in the house, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, even a person like Grandpa Gao who had been immersed for a long time couldn't see what kind of attitude she had.
It wasn't until she saw off her father-in-law that Ye Zhenzhen lost her interest, and her eyelids drooped without saying a word.
"The county lord doesn't like these things? Qingju should take all of this. ”
Qingju handed over a cup of ginseng tea, and then said with a frown.
"Good life is collected, the people of the feather coat division are ingenious, and this wedding dress is a valuable thing."
Ye Zhenzhen reacted after a while, only to see that she said a little reluctantly, and there was no joy between her eyebrows.
For a few days, Ye Zhenzhen was bored in the room, either watching Daqingguo's embroidery skills, or busy drawing drawings for Boya Zhai, and occasionally staying in the space for a while, but still no mood.
"Miss, you've read this account book several times, it's the ninth day of the new year today, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"The girls made the lanterns themselves, and they waited for the fifteenth to go out and put the lanterns, or would Miss make one too?"
Qingju looked at Ye Zhenzhen and was in a miserable mood all day, so she had to quickly persuade her so that she could distract some of her attention.
"Where is the prince? But in the palace. ”
It has been a full nine days since the last time the two had a quarrel, and somehow, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly mentioned him, so frightened that Qingju hurriedly glanced at Zhilan.
"County lord, the prince was ordered to investigate the assassination case, and he is often in the dungeon for a while, but if the young lady has anything to say, the slave can pass the message for the young lady."
Qingju's face was worried, and Zhilan had no choice but to talk back and forth, her tone was full of caution, for fear that she would be provoked again if she didn't know the severity of the sentence.
"No need, let someone prepare a carriage, hand the sign into the palace, and let's go to the dungeon."
Ye Zhenzhen touched the teacup with residual warmth with her fingertips, shook her head slightly, and then said in one go.
"What is the young lady going to do in that place, the dungeon is always filthy."
Hearing that Ye Zhenzhen was going to the dungeon, Qingju was immediately very surprised, only to see her step forward excitedly, staring at Ye Zhenzhen with a frown and saying.
"Needless to say, you are more cowardly, let Zhilan accompany me."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know what was wrong, her heart seemed to be covered by a layer of thick fog, and it was complicated, but she wanted to go, so she had to interrupt Qingju's words and took Zhilan into the palace alone.
"Why do you bother, Miss? If you want to see the prince, just go to the palace. ”
Watching the rickety carriage leave, Qingju frowned and looked at a servant beside him and muttered.
There was no word along the way, until the carriage stopped in front of the door of the dungeon, and Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth and said, "Go and explain to the guards, so that they don't have to make a noise." ”
Ye Zhenzhen sat in the carriage, had no intention of going down, and quietly waited for Zhilan to arrange everything, and then walked slowly towards the inside.
The people in the dungeon took Ye Zhenzhen's silver, and they were afraid of her identity, so they were naturally respectful, and it didn't take much effort for Ye Zhenzhen to go straight to the depths of the dungeon.
"This is it."
Walking through the long corridor, Ye Zhenzhen saw several interrogation rooms, which were not big or small, arranged on the left and right, and a servant led her to the door of one of them, hunched over and said.
"Let's go down."
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyes slightly and said politely to him.
The iron door of the interrogation room was opened, revealing a woman tied to a cross, dressed only in a white shirt, covered in blood.
Her head was drooping, the blood at the corners of her mouth was still bright red, her hair was fluffy and scattered, and the whip marks on her body were faintly visible.
"Can she explain?"
There were a few regular guards standing in the interrogation room, and Ye Zhenzhen probed at them.
"When she returned to the county lord, her mouth was extremely hard and she refused to say anything."
One of them shook his head at her, only to respond in a low voice.
"Okay, I see, you all go down, don't let others disturb me."
Ye Zhenzhen's heart was clear, so she waved her hand a little tastelessly, and commanded calmly.
"What are you doing here? You don't want anything out of my mouth! ”
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's arrival, the dancing girl moved her neck, looked at her with vicious eyes, and said very firmly.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm not like them."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at her, and she felt a strong malice and viciousness, only to see her find a clean chair to sit down, and then said unhurriedly.
"Hmph, is there really no one in Daqing? A prince couldn't ask anything, but let a woman come here to be embarrassed. ”
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's listless appearance, the dancing girl spat viciously on the ground, and then hooked the corners of her lips and mocked.
"Why did you assassinate the emperor?"
Ye Zhenzhen didn't look at her, there was enough malice in this world, if she looked at it again, she would only be dirty, so she fiddled with the pink veil and asked without a word in her mouth.
"Then the Dog Emperor deserves to die! I hate myself for not being able to kill him once, and even if I did, he wouldn't live long! ”
Ye Zhenzhen mentioned the purpose of the assassination, and the dancing girl immediately became excited, only to see that her expression was still full of hostility just now, and it dimmed in an instant, but she still gritted her teeth and cursed unwillingly.
"Damn? Who should be damned? You didn't even have a reason to kill someone, and you got yourself in for nothing, don't you think you're stupid? ”
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen sneered coldly, and then raised her head and stared at her, asking very sharply.
At that moment, the dancing girl was shocked by her aura, obviously she was still a weak-looking woman just now, and suddenly she was so sharp, and her aura was even more compelling.
"How can there be no reason, he deserves to die, if he doesn't die, what's the point of me living."
Suddenly, the dancing girl's nose was sore, tears seemed to be rolling in her eyes, and her hatred was much shallower than just now, but more sad and sad.
"If you want to speak, say it, if you don't want to say it."
Seeing that her tone was much softer, Ye Zhenzhen was also deflated all of a sudden, and responded in a very low voice.
"Why are the two countries at war, and the soldiers are fighting bloodily, but Daqing has exchanged all the soldiers for unspeakable means!"
"They're villains at all, the Dog Emperor is not a good person, and he's not a good thing."
A wave of hatred came to her face, and the dancing girl's body couldn't help but tremble, her teeth itched with hatred, and her eyes were filled with a killing intent.
"The situation is like this, people are under the roof, and they have to bow their heads."
Ye Zhenzhen listened to her inexplicable words, and actually sighed, and sighed in a very low voice.
"If it weren't for Daqing, I would have married him now, it's only been one day, if it weren't for your group of people, how could I have ended up like this."
Mai Ji's resentment fell on Ye Zhenzhen's body, like a fist smashed on cotton, which couldn't stir up any wind and waves, so she took care of herself and was sad and sad again.
"You ...... with Him"
Ye Zhenzhen only then understood what the reason was, forced by the current situation, the woman's husband was buried, and the newlywed was in front of her, but she was widowed overnight, so she had such a move now.
"Me and him, everyone says that we are a pair of beautiful people, he is a good man in Wen Taowu, he is a god operator in the eyes of ordinary people, he promised me that after this time with Daqing, he will leave this place."
When it comes to that "him", the dancing girl seems to have endless words, and her tears are even more horizontal, in addition to regret, Ye Zhenzhen also feels a trace of despair.
"I just want to be with him, to have a position and money, I don't want anything, you know? If he's alive, I don't want anything ......."
The dancing girl frowned, her nose was sore, and tears rolled down her cheeks, telling in pain.
"Zhilan, let's go."
Listening to the woman's words, Ye Zhenzhen's heart was sour, maybe this was her rare sympathy, she couldn't listen to it anymore, even any sentence could easily pluck her heartstrings.
Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to leave, behind her was the sobbing sound of the dancing girl one after another, and the heart-rending roar, the darkness in the dungeon made Ye Zhenzhen's heart furious, and she walked quickly, looking a little anxious.
After leaving the dungeon, Ye Zhenzhen was a little depressed, only to see her walking on the street carelessly, not knowing what she was thinking, and her eyes were always empty.
"County lord, be careful, it's a little slippery here."
I don't know if she was so upset that she stepped on the ice and almost slipped, or if Zhilan helped her to avoid a tragedy.
"Zhilan, what do you think is the most important thing in love?"
Ye Zhenzhen was a little confused, she seemed to have accidentally twisted her foot, at this moment she was hunched over and holding her ankle, holding Zhilan's hand, staring at her with some expectation and asking.
"The slave maid thinks that sincerity is the most important thing, and if the slave maid wants to marry, she must find someone who is sincere to herself, at least she must raise her eyebrows and respect each other like a guest."
Zhilan replied thoughtfully while supporting her, and from her tone, Ye Zhenzhen sensed a trace of longing and expectation.
She was also looking forward to it like this at the beginning, from rejecting Su Mu, a stupid boy, to filling him in her heart later, everything seemed like a long time ago.
