Chapter 656: The Golden Pearl Returns
She really couldn't sleep, so she called the slave maid to change her clothes and freshen up, and went to the side hall of the East Palace.
It was still very early, and the pink red glow spread out in the sky, paving the way like cotton wool, and the sun was still showing half of its head on the palace wall.
In the corridor in the deep palace, there was a faint mist, slowly rising.
She tightened her clothes, a little cold, it was already late autumn, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
Pushing open the door of the side hall of the East Palace, a strong smell of herbs came to her face, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose, the smell of herbs was a little unpleasant and pungent.
"Mother, Father-in-law Ande has woken up." The maid who was waiting in the side hall of the East Palace said to her, and led her to the palace.
Very few people came to this side hall, so it was not cleaned often, and the furnishings were not as ornate as the main hall.
The white curtains floated gently, and she walked up the steps through the hall to look at the person lying on the bed, as if the limbs of her body had been broken, and the shape was a little strange.
"Ender?" Xia Yinhuan called tentatively, he had only heard that Ander had been seriously injured, but he had not seen Ander's appearance yet.
Now seeing the strange-shaped person lying on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, and his brows were deeply wrinkled, if it wasn't for Cang Linchen saying that Ande lived in the side hall, he was really not sure that the person crawling on the bed was actually Ande, thinking that Andi was always talking and laughing by his side before, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Mother......" Ander's voice was weak and weak, and he lay on the bed and looked at her with great difficulty, as if he wanted to salute, but his body did not allow him to do so.
Ande's voice was not wrong, Xia Yinhuan felt even more throbbing in his heart, and he took three steps and two steps to meet him, seeing that Ande's appearance was completely dehuman.
His head was swollen to the size of a football, his eyes were swollen and he couldn't open them, his face was bruised and swollen, and his body and feet had been clipped with wood chips, which seemed to have been severed.
"They tortured you like this with such cruelty!" Xia Yinhuan said in disbelief, with anger in his tone, I really can't imagine that Concubine Yu and King Wu were so desperate to get the jade seal, and tortured a slave like this!
If she hadn't taken the initiative to hand over the jade seal, I am afraid that they would have tortured Ande to death, and in order to get the country of Yasukuni, they would be cold-blooded.
"Mother, don't worry about the minions." But he had to try to pull out a smile, his tone was relaxed but it was difficult to laugh out loud, and he couldn't squeeze out any expression on his puffy face.
"And said it's okay, it's all like this, am I blind? I don't see anything wrong with you. Xia Yinhuan was even more annoyed, she knew that Ande was comforting her, but she didn't appreciate it.
As he spoke, he glanced at the slave and maid who was waiting behind him and asked sharply, "What did the imperial doctor say, when will Ande's body get better?"
"Back to Niangniang, the doctor said that it would probably take ten days and half a month before Father-in-law Ande could walk on the ground, and if he wanted to fully recover, he would have to wait at least a year and a half." The slave said that she didn't dare to look at Ande, Ande's appearance was too terrifying.
Xia Yinhuan's brows furrowed even tighter, ten days and half a month were fine, but for a year and a half, he could only lie on the bed, wasn't that more uncomfortable than death?
"Mother, the slave is really fine." Ande whispered again, seeing Xia Yinhuan so anxious about him, it was not a good feeling in his heart, he was obviously a slave, but both Cang Linchen and Xia Yinhuan were very concerned about him, how could there be such a queen and emperor in the world, I am afraid that there is only a pair of Cang Linchen and Xia Yinhuan.
Xia Yinhuan looked at Ande and sighed deeply, and said with a sad face: "I'm sorry for you, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, don't worry about us, don't let yourself suffer."
Xia Yinhuan understood that Ande was tortured so badly in order to protect them, he had been by Cang Linchen's side for many years, and even if he didn't know where the jade seal was, he knew a lot of secrets.
If he told Concubine Yu all those things in order not to suffer from flesh and skin, I am afraid that he would not be tortured by Concubine Yu.
But he didn't say that he kept the secret in his heart to the death, such a slave is rare, some people do anything to save their lives, but apparently Ender is not such a person.
"Niangniang, as long as you and the emperor can be safe and sound, no matter what the slave does, it is worth it." Ande said that he was already in tears, and when he was arrested by Concubine Yu and King Wu, he still thought that if Cang Rincheng and Xia Yinhuan had any three strengths and two weaknesses, and the country of Yasukuni was not guaranteed, it would be over.
But fortunately, God blessed, Cang Linchen and Xia Yinhuan were safe, and the world did not fall into the hands of thieves in the end.
Xia Yinhuan originally wanted to say something, but when she heard An De's weak voice, she asked again: "Niangniang, what happened to Concubine Yu and King Wu in the end?"
He really wanted to know what happened to Concubine Yu and King Wu, when he was tortured, he cursed Concubine Yu and Wang Wu all the time and cursed them to die well, and now he really wanted to see what would happen to them.
Speaking of Concubine Yu, Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but sigh again, only then did she frown and think again, "I don't know where Concubine Yu went, she was kidnapped and taken away, I don't even know who did it, and where she is now!" ”
"How so?" Even Ander couldn't help but be surprised, "Could it be that she hid for fear of being caught?" ”
Ande speculated wildly, anxious about the disappearance of Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if she really hides and waits for revenge, there may be more trouble.
Xia Yinhuan shook her head, she couldn't figure out what was going on, and she didn't know if Concubine Yu was really blocked, but Mama Wang had already said that someone had kidnapped Concubine Yu.
She chatted with Ander for a while, and then heard a report that Cang Linchen was interrogating Mama Wang.
As soon as she heard that it was related to Concubine Yu, she hurriedly said goodbye to Ande, ran out of the door of the East Palace in a panic, and went to the imperial study, and heard the servants say that Cang Linchen was interrogating Mama Wang in the study.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the imperial study, he heard the sound of startled wood slapping on the desk, which was so loud that Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but shrink his arm and poke his head to look inside.
I saw Mama Wang kneeling in the hall in tattered clothes at this time, her hair was messy and unkempt, and she no longer looked like the arrogant and domineering Mama in the past.
"Say, do you know who the concubine was taken away?" The voice of the dust was cold to the bone, and it was a creepy temperature.
The complexion is also terrifying, like a stunning Shura who came out of hell, and his every move has a cold meaning.
Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but secretly cover her mouth and smile, Cang Rinchen was usually extremely gentle with her, he always felt that this kind of Cang Rinchen was pretending.
How can there be such a person, who is as gentle as water, and as ruthless as the king of Hades.
It seems that the image can be switched back and forth, in a word, how to say it, can attack, can suffer, can have a black belly, and can have fresh meat.
It is estimated that Cang Linchen is such a person, Xia Yinhuan watched him interrogate Mama Wang, and at the same time had fun in his heart.
"The old slave really doesn't know where the mother is, please forgive the emperor, please spare the old slave! Please ask the emperor to spare the slave's life for the sake of the old slave serving the concubine for so many years! At this time, Mama Wang's tears and snot flowed together, and she was locked up in the prison for only one day, and she was about to drive herself crazy.
She didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die, she originally thought that the things she helped Concubine Yu do, in the future, she would be above 10,000 people in the palace, and no one could help her.
People are not as good as heaven, who knew that Concubine Yu and King Wu were defeated, and she had no other way than to beg for mercy now.
"It's easy to spare your life, as long as you tell Concubine I who has taken her away." Cang Linchen pursued this question relentlessly, and now the only person who witnessed the abduction of the concubine was Mama Wang.
He can only start from Mama Wang, if he doesn't do anything, then how can he find out where Concubine Yu is.
"The old slave really doesn't know, Your Majesty!" Mama Wang really wanted to hit her head on the floor at the moment, she wanted to know that she had already said it, but unfortunately she only saw a black shadow taking away Concubine Yu, and she didn't know the rest, how to tell Cang Rinchen.
"Humph!" Cang Linchen snorted coldly, glanced at her and said intimidatingly: "If you don't explain it honestly today, today next year will be your death!"
Cang Linchen thought that she probably didn't know, but this started with her investigation, and if she hid something, it might not be possible.
"The old slave really doesn't know, I beg the emperor to spare my life!" Mama Wang said and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and her head touched the floor with an earth-shattering sound.
After a while, there were already blood stains on the door of her head, and Cang Linchen was not soft-hearted when she saw her like this, but said to the guard at the door: "Come on, drag it out and behead it."
In a word, it is good to be emotional, this is his last resort, to use death to coerce Mama Wang.
Mama Wang cried and was taken away by the guards all the way, and until she was dragged out of the hall, she couldn't say who robbed Concubine Yu.
Cang Linchen watched Mama Wang being dragged away, gradually moving away, and the voice begging for mercy became lower and lower, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that Mama Wang I really don't know who it is.
But it's not distressing to kill Mama Wang, she is a damn person, she is so presumptuous that she dares to pull Xia Yinhuan's ears, as long as he touches Xia Yinhuan's cold hair, he will definitely not let him live!
"Alas...... Poor Mama Wang. After Xia Yinhuan watched this scene, he walked into the hall unhurriedly, looked at Cang Rinchen and smiled: "How is it?" I still haven't found out, didn't you say you wouldn't let me worry, didn't you say you have a way yourself? ”
"Why are you here?" Cang Linchen was angry, and when he saw her coming over, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said with a pale face: "You shouldn't have come to see my joke!"
"Your joke is not funny, I just want to see if Mama Wang has recruited it." Xia Yinhuan pursed her lips, walked up the steps slowly and stood beside him, and asked in a clear tone, "Do you want to arrest the jailers of the heavenly prison and ask, maybe they may know something?"
Xia Yinhuan thought that it would be nice if there was monitoring in this backward era, and thought that in the 21st century, such a thing happened, and he would know who did the good thing by checking the monitoring.
It's a pity that this is in ancient times, there is no surveillance video!
"That's it, that's the only way!" Although Cang Linchen was angry because he couldn't find out the truth, the most important thing at the moment was to find Concubine Yu, so he didn't bother with Xia Yinhuan.
Concubine Yu is also his biological mother no matter what happens, no matter what happens, Cang Linchen is determined to find Concubine Yu, and he refuses to let his biological mother's whereabouts be unknown.
After listening to Xia Yinhuan's proposal, Cang Linchen summoned the guards to summon the jailers of the prison to come for questioning, but at this time, there were eunuchs who hurriedly ran into the hall and knelt down in front of Cang Linchen and Xia Yinhuan: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the front ...... The former Jin nobleman wants to enter the palace to ask to see ......"
