Qi Shan (3)

When the ugly slave woke up, she saw Aunt Lian standing by the bed and seemed to be looking at her very strangely, so she subconsciously shrank back, but heard Aunt Lian say very gently: "How did your face become like this?" I guess it must have been made by the master, right? After all, a woman with improper facial features can't enter this palace wall. ”

The ugly slave stretched out his hand and touched her hideous and terrifying face, but opened his mouth: "No, no, it's me, it's me who accidentally injured it." ”

Aunt Lian sighed: "The most important thing for a woman is a face, even if she is a slave or a maid in the palace, she must take good care of this face, it is not too scary." ”

The ugly slave lowered his head again and said no more.

"Empress Xian, send you to the Huanyi Bureau and do the most tiring work, you should hate her very much, right?" Aunt Lian asked again, and the ugly slave was very uneasy and did not speak, so Aunt Lian continued to chuckle and said, "But don't be afraid, it is Ning Ji who is in charge of the six palaces in the palace now, and Ning Ji is the most kind-hearted." If you tell me what you have done, I think I have been in the Huanyi Bureau for twenty years, and I am tired; Maybe talk to Ning Ji, take pity on you, and I'm going to let you out of the palace. By the way, who are you? Who else is in the family? ”

The ugly slave pursed his lips and refused to speak.

Aunt Lian patted her thigh and said, "Look at me, I forgot about it; You have been in the Huanyi Bureau for so many years, and you have not been able to see your family, and you don't know the situation outside. Let me tell you, I still have brothers and sisters outside the palace, and when I am allowed to leave the palace by the nobles, I will be able to reunite with my family. ”

The ugly slave looked puzzled, obviously very confused why Aunt Lian's attitude had suddenly changed so much.

Aunt Lian changed her tone to a somewhat tough tone: "This time, I went to check your official status, but there is no you; The people below suspected that you might be sent from outside, and they wanted to deal with you, and then strictly investigate your origin, perhaps to implicate the nine clans. If you explain it clearly, when you entered the palace, where you are, and who your surname is, I will treat it as someone in the palace who is not careful and accidentally loses your official status. You'll have to think carefully about whether you want to continue to say nothing or be honest. ”

"Auntie, why do you have to embarrass me, a lowly slave girl in the Huanyi Bureau." The ugly slave whispered.

"A lowly slave girl in the Raccoon Bureau? Are you really just a lowly slave girl? At this moment, Zhu Yunqing, who had been listening to them outside, suddenly pushed the door and broke in; She got the exact news of the nails in the palace, and this ugly slave was indeed not a trap deliberately set by anyone, so she dared to come in directly.

Even my aunt went over to Zhu Yunqing and said, "She is very strict and refuses to say anything." ”

Zhu Yunqing walked up to the ugly slave and looked at her condescendingly: "There are two choices in front of you now; Either tell your secrets, or you will lie down in the grave forever with your secrets. But you have to understand that no matter who you keep that secret for, or who threatens you with something, when you die, that person will also destroy the thing that can hold you back. You've got to think it through! The corners of Zhu Yunqing's lips curled slightly, and she said softly, "Female officer Qishan! ”

"No, no, I don't have a secret, I, I'm not, I don't know any Qishan female official?" The ugly slave was suddenly very excited, and retorted with a frightened expression.

In fact, when she saw her reaction, Zhu Yunqing had already determined the answer: "You don't have to defend yourself, I already know your identity." It's just that I really don't understand, you are a celebrity next to His Majesty, how did you fall to such a point? ”

The ugly slave looked at Zhu Yunqing in a daze, and suddenly big tears flowed from her cloudy and vicissitudes of life: "You, are you Your Majesty's person?" ”

When she said this, it was equivalent to accepting that she was indeed a female official of Qishan in disguise.

Zhu Yunqing said deliberately: "What do you think? ”

The ugly slave climbed out of bed with his hands and feet, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and burst into tears: "Qi Shan, Qi Shan's crime deserves death, Qi Shan has betrayed His Majesty's trust, and Qi Shan's crime deserves ten thousand deaths." ”

Listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that she also betrayed Emperor Chengji?

Zhu Yunqing thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you die twenty years ago?" Who got you into the Raccoon Bureau? Is it the first queen? ”

Qi Shan sobbed before he said: "Back then, the first queen, the first queen wanted to kill me, but fortunately, because the first queen's henchman Xiao was a fellow villager with me, she replaced the poison in the hands of the first queen with a fake death medicine, so that I survived." I ruined my face myself, and Lady Xiao hid me in the Huanyi Bureau. Me, I also have two children, neither of whom know anything. ”

"After you died, Your Majesty rewarded your family with a lot of money, but unfortunately your two children died not long after." Zhu Yunqing told Qi Shan what she knew, "Perhaps, they were killed by people, can you believe it?" ”

Hearing that his child was already gone, Qi Shan's expression was already pale, and he muttered to himself: "My child······ It was my sins that caused them to be harmed. Then he stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Yunqing's shirt and prayed, "Please, kill me!" Let me go to the eighteen layers of hell and wash away my sins. ”

Zhu Yunqing was very unclear: "But, why did the first queen want to harm you?" ”

However, when asked this, Qi Shan immediately lost his voice.

Zhu Yunqing had some guesses about what Qi Shan had done that made her even if she was in such a field as she was now, she would rather die than say it. Qi Shan's two children have died, but she has other relatives in the family; Unless what she committed would implicate her clansmen, she didn't dare to reveal half a word at all.

Thinking that Qi Shan was the most trusted person of Emperor Cheng Ji back then, if she used Emperor Cheng Ji's trust to do something bold and deceitful, she would rather die with a secret than reveal half a word.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yunqing took out a small bottle from his sleeve and threw it to Qi Shan: "Eat it, and you will be able to get your wish." ”

Hearing this, Qi Shan picked up the bottle and unscrewed it in a hurry, and heard Zhu Yunqing ask her: "Do you have anyone else who can't be relieved?" Or what do you want to bring to someone? ”

Qi Shan paused for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yunqing and asked cautiously: "I heard, I heard, Second Highness, is he killed?" Her voice was trembling and seemed incredulous.

Zhu Yunqing muttered in her heart, how did His Royal Highness have anything to do with her, but she still nodded expressionlessly.

"Second Highness, he, he's still so young······ How could it be ······" Qi Shan hurriedly shook her head, as if she remembered something that scared her very much.

"Your Majesty doesn't like Xuanhou, so naturally he won't like the second prince. After all, Princess Yuanhua, another child of Empress Xuan, was only sixteen years old when she died. Zhu Yunqing said coldly.

In an instant, Qi Shan's whole person collapsed to the ground, and then he swallowed all the pills in the bottle into his stomach without hesitation.

Knowing that she saw Qi Shan fall to the ground and close her eyes, Aunt Lian stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunqing: "I watched it just now, she should know a lot of things." It would be a pity to kill her like this. ”

Zhu Yunqing squatted down and picked up the bottle and played with it in her hand for a while, before turning around and smiling at Aunt Lian and saying, "Don't worry, it's just a little medicine that makes you sleepy." Send her out of the palace and hand her over to Yunyan Pavilion first, she knows more than I imagined. ”
