Chapter 43: Trapped in a Snake Cave (1)
Xiao Shunzi was a little embarrassed: "Well, I've only been in the palace for half a year, and I've been out of the palace a few times before, but this is the first time I've come to Jirentang." ”
Ye Jingjing smiled: "That's it." He instructed the shopkeeper. You can't understand this prescription, I'll read it, and you can pick it up. ”
The shopkeeper was busy and picked up a few pairs of medicines according to the prescription read by the young lady.
After the medicine was picked up, it was wrapped tightly, and Ye Jingjing sent Xiao Shunzi out with a smile on her face. Seeing his back go away, the corners of Ye Jingjing's mouth showed a subtle smile.
said that Ye Mengmeng was waiting for someone from the palace to send silver in the house, and she waited for three days in a row, not to mention the silver, not even a bird passed by her window.
She was a little nervous, and her eyelids kept jumping for the past two days. Oh yes, it can't be that things have changed, right?
Unfortunately, things were expected by her.
Not long after dinner that day, Lord Ling, who claimed to be the prince of Zhenbei, came to the door.
"Lord Ling?" Ye Mengmeng jumped up subconsciously. , this silver didn't wait, but waited for an uninvited guest?
She knew that Lord Ling, it was said in the book, in fact, where is Lord Ling? It is the housekeeper of the Zhenbei Palace.
This guy is one of Yeli's right-hand men, ruthless, and has helped the master do a lot of bad things.
It's definitely not a good thing for this thing to come to her...... Where would she dare to go? I had to beg the family members who came to pass the message: "...... You just say I'm not feeling well and sick......"
"No, eldest miss, that Lord Ling said that if the eldest lady can't get up while lying down, then he will let someone carry her out."
Ye Mengmeng: ......
Fuck it, damn it's night!
I couldn't dodge, so I had to come to the front hall.
Sure enough, the Hou Mansion and the Wen family sat on the main seat with a worried face. At the top of the guest seat sat a thin, bearded, middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
Ye Mengmeng guessed that this person should be Steward Ling.
This man is not good-looking on the outside, but Ye Mengmeng knows that the viciousness of his methods is definitely not inferior to his master.
Ye Mengmeng was forced to be calm, and a smile on her face was more ugly than crying.
Ling ...... Lord Ling has something to do with me? ”
Manager Ling glanced her up and down, and sneered: "The concubine has something to ask the young lady to enter the palace, and the young lady will go with her subordinates, right?" ”
"Too ...... Concubine, what's wrong with her? ”
"Miss, don't ask so much, just go."
The faces of the Hou Ye couple beside them changed. Concubine Pei may not be familiar with them, but her son King Zhenbei is too famous, I'm afraid there are no people who don't know him.
It is rumored that he is ruthless and a man-eating demon...... However, such a devil, when did his daughter have something to do with his mother and son?
"Mengmeng, don't go to ......"
Wen pulled her daughter and almost cried. Hou Ye also had a sallow face, and he didn't know what to do. It's a pity that my son is not at home, if he is at home, I am afraid that he can still maneuver for a thing or two......
Ye Mengmeng tried her best to calm down, and quickly went through the plot in her heart.
Although Manager Ling was in the name of the concubine, Ye Mengmeng knew that this had nothing to do with the concubine, and it must be the devil who left the night to find her.
But, at this time, what is he looking for him for? Could it be that she was really taken into the palace to see the concubine? Thinking of Concubine Pei's kind face, she felt a little relieved, but soon became nervous again, taking her into the palace to see the concubine so late, could it be that she was found out about finding the concubine to join the concubine?
Time was pressing, and Manager Ling stared at her fiercely, she had no time to think about it, so she had to comfort the Hou Ye and his wife temporarily.
"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter is fine, my daughter is going to the palace to chat with her mother to relieve her boredom......"
Although the daughter said it easily, the Hou Ye and his wife couldn't help but have red eyes. Wen couldn't help but say, "Mengmeng, my mother will accompany you into the palace......"
Before Ye Mengmeng could speak, Manager Ling sneered: "It's better for Madam to stay in the mansion, I'm afraid that you can't go in and out casually in the palace." ”
Ye Mengmeng hurriedly said: "Lord Ling is right, father, mother, you can stay at home with peace of mind, and my daughter promises to come back soon." ”
Hou Ye and his wife were reluctant to let their daughter go. Waiting for her daughter's figure to disappear at the door, Wen couldn't help but lean on her husband's shoulder and cry loudly.
"Master, cute her...... She's going to be fine, right? ”
Hou Ye clenched his fists, his eyes were full of desire. "Hmph, if he dares to touch a single hair of my sprout, I will make trouble in the Jinluan Hall and ask for an explanation in the Holy Place!"
While lamenting in his heart, it seems that the Houfu is really in decline, and there is no way to be deceived by others.
Meng Meng is really unlucky, why did he provoke that night Yama?
After leaving the gate, there was already a carriage waiting at the door. Ye Mengmeng had no choice but to sit up.
In a few moments, the carriage arrived at its destination.
Ye Mengmeng got out of the car and froze. This... Isn't this the Zhenbei Palace?
The cells in her body immediately tensed.
If you enter the palace to see Concubine Pei, she still has a chance of life, but she will come to the palace...... Yeli doesn't know how to torture her?
She stood still, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and said with a smile: "That, Lord Ling...... Is it in the wrong place? Isn't it entering the palace? ”
Manager Ling said coldly: "The eldest lady will follow, so you don't need to ask too much." ”
Ye Mengmeng had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and her heart was like fifteen buckets.
The palace is very large and full of flowers and grass.
The two walked through the corridor, over the bamboo forest, and walked for a while before coming to the remote backyard.
"Here it is." Manager Ling said coldly.
Uh, that's it? Ye Mengmeng raised her eyebrows, but only saw a simple courtyard, the small courtyard was empty, only a row of low houses, which looked a bit like a warehouse.
"Lord Ling, what kind of place is this?"
"Miss, don't ask so much, won't you know anything when you go in?" Manager Ling was impatient, reached out and pushed her into the first room, and then closed the door with a "clang".
Ye Mengmeng was caught off guard, stumbled, and almost fell, but she held on to the door frame to stabilize her body.
"Damn Diao slave, let me out!" Ye Mengmeng couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked the door hard, but the next second she grinned in pain. I'll go, damn it, this door is an iron gate!
She was extremely angry and scolded viciously, but no one outside responded to her. She put her ear to the door and listened, but it was quiet outside, and there was no movement.
No way? Just leave her and go? What the hell is this guy trying to do by keeping her here?
She frowned, and then turned her head to look intently at the room.
The light in the house was very poor, because there were no windows, except for a small skylight the size of a baby's head on the roof. By the light from the skylight, I could vaguely tell that it was a room full of miscellaneous things.
