Chapter 132: I always feel that something is wrong
Kyoto Tendenjo.
The queen was stripped of the palace skirt that symbolized status and glory, and only wore a snow-white middle coat, and her body sat in the corner with a thin and desolate body.
Ning Ke walked over, she didn't seem to be able to see or hear, she didn't react at all, and sat like a log.
With a low sigh, Ning Ke took out the pastries in the food box and said lightly: "I heard that you haven't eaten all the time, but it won't help you to torture yourself like this, it's better to be better for yourself." ”
Hearing her speak, the queen reacted a little, raised her eyes slowly, glanced at her, and then lowered her head again and hugged herself tightly.
Ning Ke pursed her lips and continued: "I came to you today, in fact, I have something to ask you. ”
The queen did not move.
"I know you heard it, and I know that you resent me for exposing your conspiracy, but you should know better than me about the reincarnation of cause and effect. Ning Ke didn't care whether she reacted or not, and continued, "If you hadn't done so many evil things, you wouldn't have ended up like this." ”
"This palace has never done it!" When Ning Ke thought that she would not speak, the queen suddenly opened her mouth coldly, "This palace was framed!"
Ning Ke frowned, "But the evidence is conclusive. ”
"Huh. The queen smiled bitterly, "If others are painstakingly trying to plant a false accusation, human and material evidence will naturally be prepared." She swept over with cold eyes, "Since you don't believe in this palace, what are you going to do?"
Ning Ke looked at her eyes seriously and said word by word: "I want to know how my mother died." ”
"Your mother?" the queen's eyes froze, and then she laughed, "Liu Xueqiong, right? ”
"Tell me, why did you kill her!" Ning Ke asked urgently.
The queen looked at her fixedly, with a smile on her lips, "You really can't remember anything at all?
"What do you mean?" Ning Ke's eyes widened slightly, could it be that she was also at the scene back then?
The queen smiled even more secretly, "Your mother knows what she shouldn't know, and the palace and the prince are just victims, but you don't believe it, let people take advantage of the fisherman." ”
Seeing her say this, Ning Ke felt more and more that she knew the truth back then!
"Then tell me, what does my mother know?"
"Want to know?" the queen looked over from the corner of her eye, with a playful smile in her eyes.
Ning Ke pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes!"
"This palace can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition. The queen looked at her earnestly.
Ning Ke glanced at her tentatively, although she was afraid that she would have tricks again, but Liu Xueqiong's death had always been pressed in her heart, if she lost this opportunity, she didn't know when she would find the truth.
After thinking about it, she finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"
*
Half an hour later, Ning Ke came out of the prison, his face was a little absent-minded, and his expression was in a trance.
"Xiao Ke'er?" Chu Junyue walked up and called several times before she came back to her senses and looked at him in a daze.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Junyue frowned and said worriedly, "What did the queen say?"
Ning Ke pursed her lips, "It seems that I still have to go to the East Palace, and the queen wants to see the crown prince." ”
"Well, I'll accompany you. ”
Chu Junyue wanted to accompany her, but Ning Ke refused, at this time, it was not appropriate for him to go, and the prince would probably be wary.
In the end, Chu Junyue just sent her to the door, and he went to the emperor to talk about things first.
In the depths of the East Palace Palace, the windows on all four sides are closed, the curtains are heavy, airtight, and there is a strong smell of wine everywhere.
Ning Ke walked in, there were all drunk wine jars all over the place, she slowed down her steps and slowly walked deeper, while calling.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please see the people's daughter Ning Ke. ”
"Your Highness......"
"Your Highness, Ning Ke has something important to see. ”
......
Ning Ke walked to the innermost and didn't see where the prince was, but the palace people said that the prince was inside, so it would definitely not be wrong.
She was about to look for it when a snoring suddenly came from behind the curtain hanging low on the ground, and a hand trembled and stretched out.
"Who...... Who's called Hongu?"
Slurred, full of alcohol.
Ning Ke sighed, walked over and left the curtain, and the prince was lying on the ground with a wine jar in his arms, his face flushed from drinking, and he was delirious.
"Your Highness, you have drunk too much. Ning Ke pulled him, but the prince was a man after all, and he was so drunk that she didn't pull for a while, but was pulled by him.
"Bang!" and fell headlong into his arms.
Ning Ke struggled to get up, but the prince hugged her tighter and kept talking nonsense, "Huh Ke'er...... Ke'er, don't go, don't leave me alone......"
She paused, her brow furrowed.
He drank too much and was still pronouncing her name...... Saying don't leave him alone, you're sad about the queen's affairs, right?
After all, it is flesh and blood, the queen first gave the prince a fire Gu, and then she was afraid of being exposed, so she poisoned her mouth.
No matter who you put it in, it's going to be sad, right?
Otherwise, the crown prince would not have testified against the empress in front of the emperor.
"Ke'er, Ke'er, I'm not...... It's not stupid, don't hate me...... Ke'er ......"
The prince began to talk nonsense again, holding her like a child and not letting go, which was called a grievance.
Ning Ke sighed, freed his hand, took a golden needle to relieve his hangover, and waited for him to settle down before he asked someone to carry him to the bed.
After a while, the prince woke up slowly, glanced at his eyes in a daze, and saw Ning Ke sitting at the head of the bed, his eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately got out of bed.
"Ke'er, when did you come!" he seemed a little embarrassed, and kept pulling at his robe so that he could look neat and decent.
Ning Ke smiled faintly: "Just came." She gestured to the wine jar in that place with her eyes and comforted: "In the future, the prince will still drink less bars and hurt his body." ”
"Yes, yes, listen to Ke'er. Like a child who had been taught, the prince smiled and agreed.
Ning Ke looked at his appearance, a little sad, speaking of the prince becoming like this, she could not escape the blame.
If it weren't for her and Chu Junyue's joint strategy of "striking the grass and startling the snake" to force the queen to jump, the prince would not have been poisoned by the queen, and he would not have been so sad.
"Your Highness. She sighed silently, "Actually, I came today because I was entrusted by your mother. ”
The prince's face changed, and his eyes sank, "What did you say?"
"I've been to see the Queen, and she said she had something to say to you, and she wanted to see you. Ning Ke said seriously: "I know you're still complaining about her, but it's a good mother and son, let's go meet her!"
The crown prince gritted his teeth, and his tone became cold, "Ke'er, if you came here for her today, then please go back!
"Your Highness......"
"I'm tired of this palace, Ke'er, please go back!"
The prince didn't want to say any more, and turned his back to her, as if he was about to give an order to expel the guest.
Ning Ke also understood his feelings, and just said, "She said that she wants to explain to you, if you want to see her, go there!"
With that, she turned and left.
After a while, the prince slowly turned around, and his eyes were already moist.
*
Ning Ke was very upset, and when he returned to Ning Mansion, he wanted to sleep well without saying a word, but he couldn't sleep anymore, as if something was wrong.
With a grunt, she got up from the bed, went down from the secret passage, went straight to Baolin Zhai, and chatted with Old Man Hu.
"Why are you pulling a face? are you unhappy?" Old man Hu lay on the bamboo chair gracefully, drank a sip of wine, and smashed his mouth a few times, which was called a comfort.
Ning Ke furrowed his brows, there were many doubts in his heart, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Did you quarrel with the regent?" Seeing that she was silent, Old Man Hu turned his face sideways and asked, his eyes flashing with gossip.
Ning Ke gave him a blank look, "No! I have nothing to quarrel with him! Don't guess, don't gossip!"
"Is that because of the spy?" Old Man Hu squinted his eyes and smiled steadily.
Ning Ke nodded, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it." ”
"So you're going to ask me about the Queen?"
"Yes!"
Ning Ke glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this old man was particularly useful today!
Old man Hu laughed a few times, shook the rocking chair, and said: "This queen is the most noble princess in the South China Sea, it is said that she is both talented and artistic, and she is the favorite pearl of the South China Sea Emperor. ”
Ning Ke also felt a little strange, it was impossible for the princess who was loved by the emperor to marry far away, but it was just a kiss, just find someone with a noble status, and there was no need to give up his heart at all.
Could it be that the Emperor of the South China Sea married her just to be a spy? But being a spy is so dangerous that he is willing to risk his own daughter?
"Anything else, for example, does the queen have anything else, anything special?"
Old man Hu squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, "This queen has a gentle and generous temperament, acts in a low-key manner, and has always had a good reputation, but I have never heard of any special deeds." ”
"Impossible, there must be something else. Ning Ke felt more and more that this kind of low-key person was hiding more secrets.
Especially this queen, who has never had a sense of existence, suddenly revealed that she was a spy, which is really amazing.
The more Ning Ke thought about it, the more he felt that there was something greasy in this, and hurriedly urged, "Think about it, is there anything missing!"
"I can't remember. Old man Hu had a bitter face and looked embarrassed.
Ning Ke gritted his teeth and made a bloody investment, "You tell me, I'll go to Chu Junyue to get you some good wine, what kind of drunkenness or something." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, hearing you say that, it seems that the teacher has remembered another important matter. Old man Hu immediately smiled, which made a flower branch tremble.
Ning Ke raised his eyebrows and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"
