Chapter 174: Interrogation in the Dark Room
The dark room of the palace.
In this scorching summer, it is extremely gloomy and cold.
Luo Li approached slowly with heavy steps, a woman dressed in a palace maid's costume, chained, her dress clean and neat, her face was plain, and her hair was messy.
She opened her blank eyes and looked at Luo Li as she approached.
Luo Li sat down in the chair, her eyes swept sharply towards the palace maid.
Xiao Qi slapped the lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.
"Say, Who ordered you?"
The short cool words kept echoing, making this cold dark room even more cold to the bone.
The palace maid's body kept shaking, and she said tremblingly, "It's Concubine Yun." ”
When Luo Li heard this, she looked at her with sharp eyes, although this result was expected, she never thought it would be so smooth.
Recruited so quickly, she interrogated without much effort.
"Tell me more about it."
The palace maid seemed to be very scared, but the logic was very clear, she only promised to tell the story: "Yun Guifei has held a grudge since An Concubine entered the palace, and An Guifei spoiled the harem alone, and the emperor never looked at Yun Guifei and other concubines again, nor did he spoil her again, until An Guifei was pregnant, Yun Guifei had a chance to regain her favor." ”
She gasped for a while and continued: "But Concubine Yun accidentally learned that the emperor intended to make An Concubine's unborn son the crown prince, and she didn't even know if it was a son in her belly, so she was so anxious and frightened that she carefully designed to get rid of An Concubine's child. ”
Luo Li's face was gloomy, like a dark cloud pressing down on the top, and she said coldly, "Go on, how did you murder the dragon heir?" ”
The palace maid was already drenched in sweat, and the frightened look on her face gradually subsided: "An Guifei bought off Imperial Doctor Liu, first said that An Guifei's fetal instability was caused by the emperor's resting in Anhe Palace every night and intemperance, and then inserted the slave maid into the Huanyi Bureau, and soaked An Concubine's clothes in water containing a lot of musk every day. ”
Luo Li clasped her hands tightly, her heart was extremely sad, she stepped into Anhe Palace several times, so close to her, she didn't even know Musk, she felt too helpless for the first time.
She tried to calm her heart and looked at Xiao Qi: "Is everything written?" ”
Xiao Qi picked up the rice paper full of words and handed it to her, and after she read it carefully, she said lightly: "Take it and let her sign it." ”
Xiao Qi should accept and walk in front of the palace maid, she was already leaning against the wall weakly, her eyes were empty, and she was mechanically signing and drawing.
Luo Li got up, straightened her dress, and then said indifferently: "You stay here well, live well, otherwise don't blame Concubine Ben for being cruel, he will mention you again when he needs to testify." ”
The palace maid looked at Luo Li in horror, and the faint light reflected on her, like a layer of cold brilliance, which made people suddenly afraid.
The dark room returned to a deathly silence.
In the study, Xiao Qi pushed the door in, Chu Yi raised his head and asked, "Are you recruited?" Painted a bet? ”
Xiao Qi bowed, "Yes." ”
"Then stand down."
Xiao Qi didn't move, but asked: "Lord Wang, once you meddle in the affairs of this harem, I'm afraid that you will be more implicated, can you think about it carefully?" ”
Chu Yi put down the scroll, his eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness: "How can I let her be in danger in the harem alone." ”
Xiao Qi looked at him in shock, as if he didn't know him: "Lord Wang, as long as she is coquettish to you, will you compromise?" When did you ever take care of this harem pickle? ”
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "I have to accompany her." ”
Xiao Qi was dumbfounded.
He waved his hand at Xiao Qi and looked out the window intently, not knowing what he was looking at.
