Yun Zhen returned home and barely had any rest—perhaps, in his feelings, as long as he was talking to He Xuan in one place, even if it was fighting and arguing a few words, it would be considered rest—and he came to the back garden of the palace.

Behind the rockery in the garden, there is a hidden passage that leads to the ground, which was designed to freeze food and store ice. Of course, the same is true of the main role now.

But now there is another use here, and Mrs. Meng is locked up here.

The temperature here has been kept constant all year round, and the temperature has been kept at minus five or six degrees, Yun Zhen was covered with a big wool cloak, and let people take a thick quilt, which allowed the people to open the door to the cold storage.

The subordinates in thick clothes led the way for Yun Zhen, lighting lanterns, and when Yun Zhen entered the room, he saw Mrs. Meng wrapped in a shabby quilt, curled up in the corner.

Yun Zhen smiled coldly, and the temperature of this smile was even lower than the temperature around him.

"I'm really sorry for you. The subordinates don't know how to do things, and they don't know how to get a chair for their wife. ”

Yun Zhen said, giving a look to the subordinates beside him. The family understood, hurriedly opened the inner door, and between the first and second doors, they took a stool and placed it in front of Mrs. Meng.

Madame raised her eyes and looked at the young, graceful son sitting in front of her, with a faint murderous aura under her warm complexion. She smiled faintly, slowly stood up, and sat calmly on the bench.

"Someone, add another dress to Madame." Yun Zhen said again.

The servants took a large jacket and put it on for the lady. Then, he ordered his family to retreat outside the second gate and closed the stone gate.

"I don't know what to call it." Looking at Yun Zhen, he asked.

"The younger generation's surname is Han, and his name is Yunzhen. Titled Prince Xian. ”

Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "It turns out that you are the son of the former king's widow. The old body is rude. ”

"Madame doesn't have to be like that. It's common sense that you don't know me. Because, you should have died before I was born. Yun Zhen said with a smile.

Mrs. Meng smiled faintly and said, "Lord Wang, you are laughing. Since he is a dead person, how can he be here, talking to the prince? ”

"Madame doesn't have to hide her identity anymore. If I didn't know who you were, I wouldn't have invited you. ”

"Lord Wang, do you recognize the old body?"

"This king doesn't know you, but my mother, the current queen mother, still knows you."

Mrs. Meng smiled and did not make a sound.

"I guess Madame can guess the purpose of my invitation."

"I don't know."

Yun Zhen nodded, and then said, "There are really a lot of people who say the word 'I don't know' to this king today. Since Mrs. doesn't know, then Xiao Wang will talk about it. I don't want to go around any bend with my wife, I just want to ask you one thing, where is the child you had with the emperor back then? ”

This sentence directly hit the weakest point in Mrs. Meng's heart, her expression was not as calm and calm as just now, and she showed a slight uneasiness. Although it was only for a moment, it was also looked at by Yun Zhen.

"Madame don't need to be so alarmed, since I have stepped back and talked to you about this matter alone, I don't want too many people to know about that old matter. Moreover, Xiao Wang is also very kind, thinking that his wife and his biological child cannot recognize each other, which is also an extremely painful thing. Moreover, because of his wife, the emperor has been in power for more than 20 years, although the ministers have proposed several times, they have never been established. The pain of his wife's separation has also tormented his old man for so long, and it is time for the family to reunite. Madame, you say, don't you? ”

"Although what the prince said is a grand fist, what he is thinking about in his heart should be more than that, right?"

Madame's words were plain, but they also hit Yun Zhendi's vital point. Yun Zhen smiled, like Mrs. just now, and did not answer.

At this time, I only heard the lady continue: "There is one thing, I think, that the prince does not know. Moreover, if the old body wants to come, the Queen Mother may not know. I don't know the prince, but are you interested in listening to the old body say a thing or two? ”

"Madame, please."

"If I ask the prince to believe that what you want, as long as you ask the emperor to ask for it, he may give it away, do you believe it?"

Yun Zhen was stunned and looked at Mrs. Meng suspiciously.

"The emperor is an unruly person by nature, and his current position is something he can't push away if he wants to. Although the past 20 years may have changed a person's mind, a person's nature will not change. Instead of trying to take advantage of the many means, it is better to ask and get it directly, perhaps, everyone will save a lot of things. ”

When Yun Zhen heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Madame, is this king a three-year-old child?" Who wouldn't want a position like that? Who wouldn't want people? Will you let it go if you get it? ”

Mrs. Meng shook her head and said, "Since the prince doesn't believe it, the old body has nothing to say." But what the prince asked just now, the old body can't tell him. ”

"Ma'am, don't you want to be reunited with your own children?"

Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly and replied, "Just like the prince said, the old body should have been a dead person more than twenty years ago. It's just that I don't want to live up to the affection of an old man, so I have lived so hard until now. A living dead man will not have so many extravagant hopes. The prince doesn't have to embarrass himself here, and he suffers from this cold with his old body. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Meng slowly closed her eyes and gently recited Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.

"Madame has been hiding in the back mountain of the Liudu Temple, I think the monks in the temple will also know about Madame, Madame believe it or not, Xiao Wang will burn the temple on a whim and force those monks?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng stopped reciting the scriptures, slowly opened her eyes, and replied calmly and calmly: "You may not know that the Liudu Temple is not a famous mountain treasure temple, but the abbot master there is a substitute monk of Emperor Taizu. ”

Yun Zhen was stunned, he really didn't know about this.

"Emperor Taizu has been weak since birth, and the condition is sometimes good and bad after several medical treatments, and when he was ten years old, he had the next life, and one of his childhood friends volunteered to be his stand-in and left home, in order to cultivate the health of Emperor Taizu I, it is also strange to say, since this person lost his hair, Emperor Taizu's body has improved. After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he wanted to make it a national temple, but the abbot said that if he wanted to practice, it was better to be quiet. As she spoke, Mrs. Meng looked at Yun Zhen and said, "To this day, the edict of Emperor Taizu is still enshrined there, if the prince really wants to be unfavorable to the Liudu Temple, I am afraid that he will collide with the ancestors." ”

After that, Mrs. Meng chanted again as she had just now, and no longer looked at Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen has grown so big, and no one has ever threatened him so much, he clenched his fists tightly and snorted. Then shout out the door, "Someone." ”

The family members outside opened the door and asked, "What does the prince command?" ”

Yun Zhen said with a cold face: "I asked Madame about the whereabouts of a friend, but she was reluctant to say. Then you ask......" Yun Zhen turned to look at it, then smiled evilly, turned his face to the family and said, "Madame was invited to soiled her shoes and socks, bring a basin of water for Madame, and wash them well." ”

"Yes."

"Remember, you can't be rude. I don't want to smell a hint of blood here. ”

"The villain understands."

In ancient times, there were many kinds of torture, the kind of bloody violence was martial arts, and this was grammar. Although it is not the slightest bit red, it can also torture people to death.

The quilt jacket beside Mrs. Meng has been taken from all people, and it has been replaced by a basin of cold water with ice floe. The subordinates of the palace thought that this lady would definitely refuse like crazy, and was about to forcibly remove her shoes and socks, but when she saw that the lady had already done it herself, she withdrew the shoes and socks, and then plunged her feet into the biting ice water......

The pain is unimaginable.

But Mrs. Meng didn't even make the slightest painful sound.

An elderly family member said to his wife when no one was around, "Why are you doing this? If you want to know anything, you can tell me. Why let yourself suffer like this. ”

Mrs. Meng shook her head and said softly, "Can there be parents in the world who are willing to exchange their children's lives for their own lives?" ”

The old family sighed and shook his head, and said, "Take your feet out and warm them for a while." Now that I'm on duty, how can I take two hours to come next......"

Mrs. Meng nodded at him gratefully.

If it weren't for this old family, I'm afraid, Mrs. Meng would have survived this night.

However, even so, when Yun Zhen got up, the news she got was that Mrs. Meng had fainted.

Madame's body was already deficient in qi and blood, and coupled with being tortured by people like this sleepless, her body, which was already on the verge of collapse, finally collapsed.

Yun Zhen originally thought that Mrs. Meng had just fainted because of the cold, but the family's reward was not like this, pinching people, such methods as ice water had been used, but Mrs. never woke up, and there was a lot of blood flowing out of her lower body. After getting such news, Yun Zhen hurriedly came to the cold storage again.

As soon as I entered the second door, I smelled a bloody breath and rushed towards me with cold, and then looked at the lady lying on the ground, except for a little abrasion on the corner of my forehead because of the fall, there were no other scars. But the lady's teeth were clenched, and her face was as dead as ashes.

Yun Zhen instructed his family to find a doctor, and then he ordered someone to carry Mrs. Meng out of the cold storage and move her to a hut where the servants lived.

After about a pillar of incense, the doctor trotted all the way over.

"Take a good look at this. Remember, I can't let her die, no matter what you do. Got it? ”

The doctor took the errand tremblingly, and then calmed his breath a little more, and began to check Mrs. Meng's pulse.
