Chapter 61: The ability to kill people with anger
There are a lot of things that Cangzi Meng wants to know about Nansheng.
In order to let them tell the truth, Cangzi Meng added: "Tell the truth what this palace wants to know, and this palace will let you leave this place." ”
The four women looked at each other, as if they were moved by the conditions of Cangzi's dream.
One of them said, "Can the lady give our sisters four taels of silver and let us go home?" ”
They were sent to Hades' Mansion as gifts, penniless except for the dancing clothes they wore when they came. So even if you leave, you may not be able to go back.
Cangzimeng nodded: "Of course you can." ”
Dai Yin also understood Cangzimeng's intentions, and listened quietly beside her.
The four women told Cangzi Meng everything they knew.
The four of them are Nansheng's dancing girls, in which country where women make jewelry, it is difficult for them to live without relying on men, and after all, they still did not escape the fate of being bought and sold as goods.
They say that the crown prince Jiang Li's victorious return from Beizhao made Nansheng a small country and powerful, and his position became unmatched among many princes.
He ascended to the throne, and unlike other princes, he only had one woman in his harem, the queen, and he favored her.
The first emperor died shortly after the throne, and many restless princes secretly operated and were strangled by Jiang Li one by one.
People in the outside world saw fratricidal severity, and Jiang Li gradually stabilized his position with his ruthlessness.
He had the matter of the crown princess, Cangzi Meng knew about it as early as when he was in the Valley of Kitish, so he didn't have too much emotion when he heard it now.
It's not that he has no feelings, it's just that the love was delivered long before he met Cangzi Meng.
"Do you know where the princess of Beizhao, whom Jiang Li once married, is now?"
Cangzimeng deliberately did not reveal her identity, just to avoid their suspicion, after all, her current identity is the side concubine of King Ximu Hades, not Princess Xinning.
A woman replied: "I heard that Jiang Li used Princess Xinning as a hostage when she was in Beizhao, and she killed the princess all the way out of the Beizhao Palace, and threw her on the way back to Nansheng. ”
Another woman retorted: "Some people also said that the princess was not dead, Jiang Li couldn't bear the old love, so he secretly let her go, but this is something that few people talk about, and I am afraid that only those who went back from Beizhao with Jiang Li know what it looks like." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Cang Zimeng's mouth, and he felt very ironic about the latter's answer. Will he be soft on himself? That's probably a fantasy.
"Do you know who the current Queen Nansheng is?"
It's still the woman who just refuted: "I don't know what her specific identity is, I only know that she is the most powerful woman in Nansheng today and Jiang Li's favorite." The emperors of Nansheng in the past dynasties have never treated any woman like Jiang Li treated her. ”
As she spoke, there was a look of longing in her eyes, as if she hoped that the person who was loved by thousands of people would be her.
Cangzimeng raised her eyes and looked at the woman who answered: "Are you very envious?" ”
The woman nodded sincerely: "Inevitably, but we were born lowly people, unlike Ximu, we are dancers, and we can only be reduced to the trade of goods or concubines." ”
Dai Yin said at this time: "Then why do you want to go back? ”
When I go back, I still can't avoid the same fate, so it seems that it is better to stay in Ximu.
The dancing girl's eyes flashed: "We have a family, as long as we have the opportunity to go back, we will not give up." ”
They have families, and family ties will not be extinguished. Even if you are away from home, going home is still a constant obsession.
Cangzi Mengqiang held back the sourness in his heart and said: "Do you know that in the past in the Northern Zhao Kingdom, men and women had equal status, men could only have one wife, and women could only have one husband, if one party betrayed, it would be a violation of the criminal law." ”
The four women shook their heads.
In the past, the communication between the four countries was not deep, and Nansheng and Beizhao only pretended to be friends for a few years, the purpose was to take the land of Beizhao into the bag.
Cangzimeng paused, and couldn't help but not recall. But he couldn't help asking: "I heard that the Beizhao royal family was once hung above the gate of Nansheng City?" ”
As soon as they heard Cangzimeng ask this, several women couldn't help but shudder. The two women who had just spoken were also silent.
And Dai Yin next to her had mixed feelings in her heart.
Cangzimeng rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Don't you want to go back?" ”
"...... It's not that we don't say it, it's really terrible......" At this time, the woman who spoke did not speak, and this would be even more like enduring great fear.
"Speak, otherwise the palace won't let you go." Cangzi Meng's tone was full of unprecedented deterrence. No one understood how heavy her heart was, no one knew how much courage it took to ask this question.
The woman spoke intermittently: "After Jiang Li returned to China, in order to publicize his achievements, he ...... He ordered the heads of the Emperor and the Empress of Beizhao to be cut off and hung on the gates of the state city and the city of Licheng, so that anyone who came in and out could see it, and the four of us had seen it......"
Cangzi Meng's hand under the cuffs was clenched into a fist, and he pretended to be calm and said to the four people: "Dai Yin, go and give them fifty taels of silver for no one and send them out of the palace." ”
She knew that she couldn't ask any more, and if she was more detailed, her hatred for Jiang Li would be a little stronger, and the bitterness in her heart would be a little more.
Dai Yin was also extremely angry at the moment, because she didn't know some things like Cangzi Meng, except for the hanging of the head of the city wall, everything else was the first time she knew.
Out of the room, Dai Yin led them to another room. "Wait here for a while, I'll go get the silver."
Dai Yin once thought that Jiang Li and Cangzi Mengtian were a match made in heaven, he could tolerate her rudeness and coquettishness, and he was also a person who hoped to dominate the world in the future.
The combination of the Daughter of Destiny and the True Dragon Son of Heaven must be perfect.
No one thought that Jiang Li would betray Beizhao, and no one knew that he already had a beauty in his heart.
No one saw her crying, and no one knew that she was bleeding from a headache.
This spring breeze is extremely gentle, I don't know who remembers the biting wind and snow at that time.
Cangzi Dream on the soft couch, the soul seems to be separated from the body.
She actually knew the answers to all the questions a long time ago, so why did she have to ask them again?
I do too many things to deceive myself, and sometimes I really believe it.
A servant girl came in to report: "Niangniang, the prince is here." ”
"Nope." She didn't want to see anyone, so she wanted to be alone for a while.
As soon as the maidservant was about to leave, Yan Mingjiu skipped her and walked in, with a slight displeasure between her eyebrows. The woman's attitude was a little different from what he had imagined.
"Why don't you want to see this king?"
Cangzi Meng listened to the voice of the visitor, and his heart palpitated: "Is there something wrong with the prince?" ”
Yan Mingjiu walked to the soft couch, the tall figure covered the light on Cangzimeng's face, Cangzimeng slowly opened his eyes, and his phoenix eyes were a little lazy.
"Clear?" He knew Cangzi Meng's thoughts from the time Cangzi Dream left those dancing girls.
So much so that the sentence "You look good when you smile" left when Cangzi dreamed of leaving is still in my ears. I sat in the study for only two hours, and I couldn't bear a certain restlessness in my heart.
He felt that he must be obsessed, otherwise how could he never forget this woman's smile.
Cangzi Meng stood up with her body, looking lazy, her long hair was a little messy, but she didn't care.
"I really can't hide anything from the prince, I know everything I want to know, the four of them were also sent away by Dai Yin, could it be that the prince would want to ask for someone?"
"I'm just afraid that you'll be hit too hard, come over and see if you're healthy."
"You ......" Cangzi Meng was angry, glared at him fiercely, got up and walked out, the original dull mood was swept away, and only Yan Mingjiu's disbelief remained.
Seeing that Cangzimeng was about to go out, Yan Mingjiu thought that what he said was excessive, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to the toilet."
“……”
Every time Cangzi dreams are in pain in his heart, it seems that he can always be disturbed by Yan Mingjiu. Later, for a long time, she suddenly realized that some things, some people, are destined to be entangled with you.
He is both redeeming and lost.
When Cangzimeng came back, he saw someone sitting on his soft couch in a dignified manner, still looking at his book in his hand, and three black lines couldn't help but cross his head.
"Why is the prince still here?"
"This king is afraid that no one will look at you, and you will become depressed and sick by your crankiness."
Cangzimeng replied funny: "The next time the concubine goes to the toilet, the prince will simply send someone to watch outside." ”
Yan Mingjiu put down the book in his hand and said with a little disgust: "This king now thinks that you will not become depressed, but have the ability to kill people to death. ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yan Mingjiu turned his face to the side, not looking at Cangzi Meng's gloating expression.
"Tomorrow's Folk Flower God Festival, there will be lanterns at night, do you want to see it?"
"Okay, thank you so much." It turned out that he was here to take himself out to play, and after knowing this, Cangzimeng's mood suddenly brightened up, and the sourness in the depths of his heart also subsided a lot.
Yan Mingjiu replied a little embarrassed: "Don't think about it, this king is just sorry that the palace couldn't save you in time before." ”
Cangzi Meng pretended to have an epiphany: "Oh... Well, the concubine forgave the prince. ”
"You ......" Yan Mingjiu was speechless for a moment, got up and prepared to leave. When he finally walked to the door, he said: "Don't forget to drink medicine, adjust your body early to perform the task, this king has something to do when he goes out tonight, and you have dinner yourself." ”
"Okay." Cangzimeng replied with a smile.
A simple word made Yan Mingjiu feel a little lost inexplicably in his heart.
When Nian Bai saw Yan Mingjiu coming back, he stepped forward to report the progress of the matter: "Lord, the emperor has a new move on his side. ”
"Well, let's go."
There was no person around him at dinner, and Cangzimeng felt a little unaccustomed for a while. Originally, when Yan Mingjiu was there, she restrained her posture and made her every move thoughtful.
Now that he is not around, Cangzimeng subconsciously remains dignified.
From being obedient to Yan Mingjiu at the beginning, to refuting his words from time to time, Cangzimeng found that Yan Mingjiu was not as cold-blooded as he imagined.
He laughs too, but it's rare and fleeting.
I don't know if today's events made her too tired, causing her to lose her taste in the face of a table full of delicious food. Dai Yin noticed her abnormality: "Niangniang, is it unwell?" ”
Cangzimeng shook his head, and put a chopstick fish meat into the bowl. "It's fine."
Because Yan Mingjiu's appearance made her temporarily forget the pain caused to her by Jiang Li and Nan Sheng, and now she can't help but think about it again, her heart still hurts.
She couldn't forget the fact that her family's bones were still in Jiang Li's hands, so she didn't want to wait any longer.
The more you wait, the more difficult it becomes.
