Chapter 522: Untitled
Jiao Changqing knows very well that people are suspicious, and once a suspicious introduction is buried in someone's heart, then whether he believes it or not, as long as it takes time, it will change his heart.
Those who are credible are gradually becoming untrustworthy! And those things that are not credible are gradually becoming credible!
There are so many unjust souls in the palace that they can't be counted. Good guys or bad guys, as long as they are involved in a conspiracy...... They all risk falling victim to the interests of others.
Wei Feng wanted to know the truth, but he would never find out...... The armament in the palace was arranged by him. The palace gate is locked everywhere, and more than a dozen guards take turns to guard it, and with the prince's skills, he can't escape at all, unless someone puts water on him and gives him a way out.
"The Chu family army has always been strictly disciplined, and the general is full of manpower outside the palace...... At the moment when the fire broke out in the palace, General Wei's subordinates should immediately enter the palace to protect His Royal Highness the Prince! But why did they let the prince escape? Isn't there a problem here? ”
After hearing this, Wei Feng looked at him coldly, "You don't want to sow discord and slander my subordinates!" ”
Jiao Changqing shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "I am just a dying person in the eyes of the general!" Why should I go to the trouble of coming to the general to find death? It's just that the matter is here, and I can't believe it or not, general. As the general said at the beginning, this palace is an unfathomable place, and anything can happen. ”
When he had said what he wanted to say, he took his leave.
Wei Feng stood still, his face gloomy and ugly.
Suddenly, he called his deputy Zhang Yulong to him and asked him if he had something to hide from him on the day of the fire in the palace?
Zhang Yulong lowered his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare to hide it."
Wei Feng frowned at him when he heard this, his face gloomy.
Zhang Yulong was uneasy: "In fact, a lot of things happened that day, and now that my subordinates think about it, it is really abnormal!" However, the subordinates didn't know if those things had anything to do with the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"You say! Tell the ins and outs of the matter. ”
Wei Feng still took Jiao Changqing's words to heart in the end, and had to investigate.
"Yes...... It was unusually quiet in the womb that day. When I got up in the morning, the palace maid next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the prince was unwell, so she invited Jiao Changqing to come over to visit...... After Jiao Changqing left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been resting in the palace and did not come out. An hour later, something happened at the miscellaneous office, saying that several more people had died! Two other guards were bitten and needed medical attention...... After that, there was another accident in Changchun Palace...... Said to have found two suspicious people! The subordinates personally brought people over and turned over the Changchun Palace, but no one was found! After dark. When the subordinates took the roll call, they found that there was a team of people missing! The subordinates originally thought that they had left their posts without permission...... Unexpectedly, their bodies were found outside Cining Palace in the end! ”
In that short period of one day, there were big and small things happening all over the palace, extremely trivial and irrelevant.
Wei Feng frowned and listened, only to feel that things were not so simple.
"On the day of the fire, did the gate of the palace ever open?"
"The princess went out of the palace, once, and the general returned to the palace, once. There was also carrying the dead out of the palace, once. In addition, the nine palace gates in the palace have never been opened. However, after the fire in the palace, three palace gates were damaged, and many palace maids and eunuchs escaped! ”
"Three ......" Wei Feng frowned and thought carefully: "The prince either took advantage of these three opportunities to escape!" Either he disguised himself as a eunuch and took advantage of the chaos to get out of the palace! ”
Zhang Yulong was silent for a moment before saying, "It's all the incompetence of his subordinates!"
Wei Feng looked at him with a calm face: "I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Within three days, find out the whereabouts of the prince for me, otherwise ......"
Zhang Yulong's heart trembled when he heard this.
Three days! Only three days...... This is simply to apologize for his death!
"Yes...... Subordinates understand! ”
Wei Feng looked at Zhang Yulong, who had withdrawn silently, and the haze in his eyes deepened.
When night came, the orb carefully lit the candle flame low, and finally brought a little life to the dark room.
The candlelight is dim and gently beating. Baozhu sent the candlestick to the table, and under the candlelight, Meng Xilan's eyebrows lowered.
She had been like this all day, sitting there motionless, not speaking, not eating or drinking.
Baozhu knew that the master was still sad for Zhulu, so she was also quiet, and only poured the cold tea back into the teapot to warm it and take it back.
There is nothing to eat in the palace now, and even drinking a cup of hot tea is a luxury.
Zhulu's body has been taken away by Master Jiao. If it is left here, the corpse will rot and rot, which will make the mother even more sad.
Zhulu is dead, and Baozhu knows that he doesn't have much time.
Wei Feng didn't know when he would torture her, and then find out the whereabouts of the prince from her mouth.
Zhulu's tragic death made her feel scared and uneasy. But she was willing to die for the prince.
She has been by her mother's side for more than ten years, and Niangniang has never treated her badly, and has also made her family live a life of abundant food and clothing. With the money, her brothers and sisters, and even their descendants, no longer have to be slaves or slaves, and no longer have to endure poverty.
Baozhu quietly accompanied Niangniang, her face was gloomy, and her eyes still looked a little moist.
"Orb ......"
After a while, Meng Xilan opened her mouth to call her, and Baozhu hurriedly got up, went to the front and asked, "Niangniang, what do you command?" ”
"Change my clothes." Meng Xilan spit out this sentence lightly.
She smelled of blood and a little bit of rot.
Meng Xilan looked down at her hands, always feeling that her hands were still stained with blood, the blood of bamboo dew.
Baozhu got up and prepared to go back to Cining Palace to look for clothes for Niangniang, but they were too close at that time, and they didn't bring anything, so they had to go back and get it again.
Baozhu carried a lantern and walked down the dark road, followed by the guards who were watching over her.
After walking for a while, there was a strange sound behind the bushes next to him.
The jewel was stunned, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward to check.
Who knows, the person they searched out turned out to be a little palace maid who was not clothed.
"Who are you? Which palace? ”
The little palace maid knelt on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to move.
Baozhu walked up to her with a lantern, and saw that her clothes were torn and unshaped, and her shoulders were bruised and purple, full of scratches and bruises.
"What's wrong with you?" Baozhu asked softly, only to see that the little palace maid bit her lip and was silent, still trembling vigorously.
Seeing her like this, Baozhu frowned slightly.
"Let's go, you go back to Cining Palace with me."
The little palace maid raised her eyes slightly when she heard this, with tears in her eyes, as if she had something to say.
Baozhu later found that her legs were also covered with injuries and she couldn't stand up at all.
It was a pair of slender white legs, but there were pinch marks and bite marks on them.
This is...... Baozhu's face changed slightly, and she suddenly understood that she must have been bullied.
Baozhu angrily took off her cloak and put it on the little palace maid's body, and she turned to look at the guards behind her, two of them, whose eyes had become obscene.
"A bunch of brutes!" Baozhu scolded resentfully.
In this palace, there are either palace maids or eunuchs, those Praetorian Guards have long been killed by the Chu family's army, and they are the only ones who can bully her.
Baozhu took the little palace maid back to Cining Palace and wiped her face and body with cold water.
"After a while, you and I will go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and now the only one who can keep you safe is the queen mother."
When the little palace maid heard this, she just cried silently, but she refused to say a word.
When she arrived in front of Meng Xilan, she still didn't speak.
Baozhu walked up to the master and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the slave is really pitiful when she sees her...... So I brought her back. There is only one slave left who can serve the mother. If something happens to the slave maid, there can't be no one by the mother's side. ”
Hearing this, Meng Xilan glanced at Baozhu deeply: "It's hard for you, you can still think about me at this time." ”
Baozhu sighed and shook his head: "The slave maid only has this ability. ”
"Niangniang, that little palace maid was bullied too badly. Now that the palace is in chaos like this, they are going to be chaotic too. ”
"They want to kill all the people in this palace!" Meng Xilan looked at the little palace maid with a faint gaze, and said, "Don't forget that they humiliated you, live, and live one more day." Perhaps, we will all wait for the opportunity for revenge! ”
Meng Xilan put on a plain white, and her long black hair was tied into a bun, tied with only a silver hairpin.
"Niangniang, where are you going?"
Meng Xilan held the hand of the jewel: "Go back to Cining Palace." ”
At this moment, the moon had come out, and the faint white light was shining coldly on the gray palace wall, which was even more strange.
Meng Xilan took Zhu Lu's hand and walked on the road, and when she saw the figure hidden in the corner, she raised her voice and said, "The palace is here, you all come out." Even if we can only live until tomorrow, this palace is here, and we will go to Huangquan Road with you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding in the corners of the broken wall all walked out cautiously.
They automatically and consciously followed behind Meng Xilan, silently.
There were more and more people, and all of them were ragged and glazed over, like the walking dead.
They followed behind the Queen Mother, keeping the guards far away.
They were all armed with swords and swords, but they did not dare to step forward to stop them. Because the scene in front of me is so weird.
After returning to Cining Palace, Meng Xilan asked everyone to gather together and said lightly: "Once the capital starts, Wei Feng will definitely order the slaughter of the palace." So, from now on, we all have to twist into a rope. ”
Sooner or later, Wei Feng will be a killer, and when the time comes, one more person will have more strength and a better chance of life.
"Mother's ......"
"Mother's ......"
Meng Xilan said faintly: "If he has the ability, he will kill us all in one go!" But if he doesn't dare, even if we bite and fight with our lives, we must let them know how powerful the people in the palace are! ”
As long as a person is not afraid of death, he is the most terrible.
