Chapter Twenty-Four: See Concubine Xian
Ye Xixi was speechless in her heart, this stupid woman who was deceived by someone was sold and paid for her, and asked coldly, "Where is Concubine Xian locked up?" ”
Cai Zhong glanced at Emperor Cang'an's expression again before replying, "Now I am locked up in the Zongren Mansion." ”
Ye Xixi looked at Emperor Cang'an and asked, "Brother Emperor, this should not be a simple concubine competition for favor, after all, it is also mixed with the secret techniques of the Yuezhu Kingdom, if you don't find out the person behind it, I'm afraid that you will raise a tiger for trouble, let Mingxi give it a try." ”
Emperor Cang'an thought that Ye Xixi wanted to go to that filthy place to help him try the case because he was worried about himself, and he was very ironed in his heart, but he felt that Cai Zhong had not tried so many methods, Mingxi was a little woman, how could she ask something, and she felt that it was inappropriate, "Where can you go to that kind of place, Cai Zhong can't even try it, and you go in vain." ”
Ye Xixi curled her mouth unhappily, turned her back to Emperor Cang'an, "Brother Emperor obviously looks down on me, don't you think I'm adding to the chaos." ”
Emperor Cang'an got up and stood in front of Ye Xixi and poked Ye Xixi's forehead, "You, that kind of place, bloody and dirty, it's not a fun place, I'm doing it for your good, why do I look down on you." ”
Ye Xixi didn't give up, and said flatly, "Mingxi just wants to go, I want to do my part for the emperor's brother." ”
Emperor Cang'an sighed helplessly, "Then I asked Cai Zhong to accompany you." ”
Ye Xixi immediately raised her head and gave Emperor Cang'an a bright smile, "Brother Emperor, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”
Emperor Cang'an shook his head amusedly, "I didn't give you any tasks, you just need to come back safely." ”
"Yes, I know, I'll be back soon, the emperor's brother will wait for me to come back for dinner." After speaking, he took Cai Zhong and went to the Zongren Mansion.
Emperor Cang'an shook his head dotingly, and began to criticize the music again.
Ye Xixi came to the Zongren Mansion, and the Zongren Ling was the youngest imperial brother of Emperor Cang'an, King Dongfang Yaoning, who was only six years older than Ye Xixi, "Why did Emperor Mingxi come to such a place." ”
Ye Xixi blessed, "Brother Huanghuang, Brother Emperor asked me to come, I'll come to see Concubine Xian." ”
Dongfang Yao smiled and quipped, "Mingxi really wants to go in to see Concubine Xian?" ”
"Yes." Ye Xixi nodded seriously and said, "Since you're here, of course you have to go." ”
Dongfang Yao smiled and nodded, "Okay, since you insist on going, then let's go, but you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Ye Xixi wondered, isn't it just to meet a concubine, what psychological preparations need to be made, "En?" ”
Dongfang Yao laughed in a low voice twice, and then asked Cai Zhong to take Ye Xixi to see Concubine Xian.
As soon as he walked into the prison, he could hear the screams of pain, the sound of leather whips, and a foul smell, Concubine Xian's cell was death row, in the deepest part of the Zongren Mansion, Ye Xixi walked all the way, and he understood why Emperor Cang'an and King Ning had confirmed with him several times, whether they wanted to go in.
The foul smell can be endured by covering your nose, but the deeper you go, the more miserable the prisoners in the prison become, the prisoners are lying in the grass with their breath dying, their clothes are stuck together with their wounds, and rats go up to gnaw on them, some wounds even have maggots, and Ye Xixi is looking at it with bursts of acid reflux.
Cai Zhong also saw that Ye Xixi's face was getting worse and worse, "Eldest princess, why don't you ...... Shall we go back? ”
Ye Xixi frowned, this is half gone, it's not a long time to go back, maybe you have to be ridiculed by Dongfang Yao, and said stubbornly, "Continue to lead the way." ”
Cai Zhong bowed his head again and again and replied, "Yes, yes." ”
After walking for a while, I came to Concubine Xian's cell, and Concubine Xian's condition was not much better, her body was hung on a shelf, her hair was sticking to her face with blood, there was no good place on her body that was whipped by leather whips, her nails were peeled off, her eyes were closed, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.
The cell was opened, and several mice instantly disappeared from their shadows, Concubine Xian gently raised her eyelids, saw Ye Xixi who walked in, and chuckled, "I am really flattered that the eldest princess Mingxi, whose eyes are above the top, would come to such a place." ”
Ye Xixi tilted his head slightly, signaling Cai Zhong and the others to withdraw, Cai Zhong was worried and wanted to say something, Ye Xixi nodded with a smile, signaling Cai Zhong to rest assured, and Cai Zhong walked out with someone.
There were only two people left in the cell, Ye Xixi and Concubine Xian.
"What does the eldest princess want to say? Want to judge me for Dongfang Hao? I won't say anything, the eldest princess, give up. ”
Ye Xixi looked at Concubine Xian sympathetically, and said, "There is no need to judge you, I just want to tell you, do you know that you are stupid?" ”
Concubine Xian raised her head violently, "What do you mean?" ”
Ye Xixi lowered her head and smiled, "Isn't your target my emperor brother?" ”
Concubine Xian stared at Ye Xixi with wide eyes in horror, Ye Xixi continued, "Someone must have told you that it was the emperor's brother who killed your sister and mother, and taught you the art of puppetry, helping you take revenge, right?" ”
"No, no, I just hate Concubine Jing for killing my child." Concubine Xian struggled to deny, and the chain tied to her body rattled, making Concubine Xian even more hideous.
Ye Xixi was not afraid, she looked directly at Concubine Xian, and felt that this woman was really pitiful, she was being taken advantage of, and when she got to this step, "Do you know that the person who killed Concubine Wan and your mother was not the emperor's brother, but Emperor Cangxi?" ”
Concubine Xian stopped struggling, "You...... What did you say? No way, I don't believe it. ”
"You have been with the emperor's brother for so long, you should know that he is not such a cruel and tyrannical person, and what kind of person is Emperor Cangxi, the people of the entire Canglan country know that all the rebellion of the emperor's brother is also unaccustomed to Emperor Cangxi's scourge of the common people, when the emperor's brother attacked Canglan City, Emperor Cangxi was unwilling to go on the road by himself, afraid that no one would serve him on Huangquan Road, and killed everyone in the palace."
Concubine Xian's mouth was still muttering, "I don't believe it, you lie, you lie to me...... You lied to me......" But tears flowed like wells of water.
Ye Xixi finally sighed, "You have reached this point, I don't need to lie to you, you can figure out for yourself whether what I said is true or not." ”
Concubine Xian cried for a long time, and recalled Emperor Cang'an's love for herself, only to realize that she was wrong, really wrong, "Eldest princess, let me tell you, who is the person who taught me the secret arts...... I tell you, I tell you, that person is ...... National ......"
Before Concubine Xian could finish speaking, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of her mouth, her pupils began to dilate, as if she was in pain, her body began to spasm, and even her limbs became distorted.
Where has Ye Xixi seen this scene, covering his ears, closing his eyes and screaming, Cai Zhong ran in with someone and protected Ye Xixi behind him, and the people who came in were shocked, they had never seen such a strange picture.
Dongfang Yao heard that someone came to report that the eldest princess Mingxi was frightened, and hurriedly rushed to the cell with someone, frowned when she saw the strange scene in front of her, and saw Ye Xixi shrunk into a ball in fright, walked in, and carried Ye Xixi out of the cell.
