"I thought the same way, and, after I saw it, the secret room disappeared, and Daniel Zhang said that I was dazzled by exhaustion." Ye Yuan looked at Lan's calm gaze.

Gu Ningyan was also surprised, "Do you mean that the emperor has built a secret room in the underground palace and hides a mysterious person?" ”

A trace of gloom flashed in Wei Qianlan's eyes, "To be honest, I really didn't expect the emperor to do something in the underground palace." ”

"What should I do now, does the emperor have any idea of locking Wei Tingtang in the underground palace?" Ye Yuan said the uneasiness in his heart.

As for Gu Ningyan and Wei Qianlan, the husband and wife, they looked at each other and did not immediately answer Ye Yuan's words.

They are all thinking about a question, which is the identity of the backroom person. "Ye Yuan, I think it's better for you not to worry, let's figure out who is inside before making a decision."

"Ning Yan is right, aren't you going back, it's best to try to find out who is inside." Wei Qianlan agreed with the meaning of his princess and persuaded Ye Yuan not to worry.

Ye Yuan felt that what the couple said was very right, "You are right, I will pay attention tonight." ”

Wei Qianlan frowned lightly and instructed Ye Yuan, who turned around and wanted to leave, "I'll go over tonight." ”

Ye Yuan's footsteps paused, his figure was stunned for a moment, and then he replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

After Ye Yuan left, Gu Ningyan asked Wei Qianlan worriedly, "You plan to check it out in person." ”

"The emperor is hiding so hidden, that secret room is definitely not simple, what if you expose it in the palace?" Gu Ningyan was really worried about him.

Wei Qianlan gave Gu Ningyan a comforting look, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention, and besides, I also want to find out what the emperor is doing behind his back." ”

"Then I'll let Sixiang go with you, and if necessary, he can take advantage of the gap to go in and find out." Gu Ningyan said that, and then used the sound transmission to give Sixiang news.

Wei Qianlan didn't want her to worry about herself, so she accepted her princess's decision without refusing.

Gu Ningyan didn't rest after Zishi, but waited for Wei Qianlan to come back.

About an hour later, Wei Qianlan returned, but he brought back the news of failure.

"What, didn't it go well?" Gu Ningyan took off his black clothes for him and asked anxiously.

After Wei Qianlan washed his hands, he poured a glass of water and drank it before he spoke, "I went, and I also got Ye Yuan's protection and successfully found the secret room, but I couldn't get in, and the four elephants couldn't get in, there was a spell outside, and the four elephants were repulsed." ”

Gu Ningyan didn't expect the result to be like this, "It seems that the people inside are very important to the emperor, and they don't hesitate to use spells to ensure that no one can enter the secret room." ”

Wei Qianlan nodded, "Yes, it seems that the emperor has a side that we don't know." ”

"What now?"

"Let's wait until Wei Tingtang wakes up, I don't think the emperor will lock people in the underground palace for no reason." Wei Qianlan has reason to believe that the emperor must have another purpose.

Gu Ningyan listened to Wei Qianlan's words and didn't ask any more, "Okay, rest early, I believe that the emperor will summon us into the palace tomorrow." ”

"You mean that the emperor still wants you to deal with Wei Tingtang?" Wei Qianlan pressed the person directly on the bed, and the tip of his nose was opposite.

Gu Ningyan pinched the ears of the people above with a smile, "Be a person, don't worry, the emperor shouldn't have the ability to deal with Wei Tingtang yet." ”

"I don't care about it, I just don't feel sleepy now, it's better to..."Wei Qianlan smiled evilly, and put his hands and feet together.

"Wei Qianlan, you bastard, you haven't slept for a while." Gu Ningyan scolded until the end, and only a sluggish gasp was left!

Sure enough, on the second day, as soon as Gu Ningyan and Wei Qianlan got up, a father-in-law who passed the decree came to the door.

So, the husband and wife hurriedly ate some rebellion and followed the eunuch into the palace.

The queen mother sat beside the emperor, and there were also the crown prince and the four princes in the palace of diligence, and there were some ministers of the imperial court.

Gu Ningyan was surprised to find that She Lianhua would actually stand by the Queen Mother's side, she was so obvious, did Concubine Su know?

"Meet the emperor and the queen mother." The husband and wife saluted the two above

。

"King Lan, Princess Lan, I called you here today for nothing else, I just want to ask Princess Lan if you can deal with Wei Tingtang's rebel?" The emperor's whole look was very bad, but there was obviously an angry light in his eyes.

The Queen Mother then asked, "The emperor said that Wei Tingtang was uniformed by Princess Lan, and the mourning family admires Princess Lan very much." ”

Gu Ningyan endured her disgust towards the Queen Mother, and replied with a smile: "Where the Queen Mother said, how can the courtiers have that ability, thanks to the four elephants under her hands." ”

The Queen Mother's old face fluctuated somewhat, "Is it the black deer beside you?" ”

"His true body is not a black deer, but a ghost, my messenger, who only obeys my orders." Gu Ningyan also generously said the identity of Sixiang at this time.

The emperor didn't expect Princess Lan to be so obedient to explain to the Queen Mother, "Then Princess Lan tell me what you mean." ”

"Your Majesty, sealing Wei Tingtang is already limited by the ability of the four elephants, if you want to deal with it again, then it can only be burned at the stake." Gu Ningyan gave the simplest suggestion.

However, when the emperor heard this, he immediately vetoed, "No, I must get the real mastermind from his mouth." ”

Gu Ningyan didn't expect the emperor to veto, "Then what do you want, Your Majesty?" ”

"Bring him to his senses." The emperor insisted on seeing Wei Tingtang wake up

。

"Your Majesty, if you can wake it up, you don't have to seal it up." Gu Ningyan explained to the emperor again.

Wei Qianlan then also spoke, "Your Majesty, what Ning Yan said is true, now it depends on how you decide, Your Majesty." ”

"Wei Tingtang must be rescued." The Queen Mother's attitude is more resolute than that of the emperor, and of course she wants Wei Tingtang to come to her senses the most.

Wei Qianlan's eyes swept up with anger, but he quickly hid it, "Queen Mother, Wei Tingtang was originally a sinner, I don't know what you insisted on doing so for?" “

The Queen Mother was exposed by King Lan's inner scheme, and immediately changed her face, angrily pointing at King Lan and his wife, "What do you husband and wife mean? ”

"You know what you mean, the Queen Mother, you don't need to say more." Wei Qianlan didn't care about the Queen Mother's presence at all, and directly shot back.

"Presumptuous." The Queen Mother trembled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, listen to what he said." ”

The emperor frowned and got up, followed the queen mother's wishes, and walked down from the high position, close to King Lan, "King Lan, you shouldn't doubt the queen mother's concern for Wei Tingtang. The emperor's voice was much colder.

Even if it cooled down, Wei Qianlan could vaguely hear that the emperor was not really angry because of his rudeness to the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers question the Queen Mother, it's really the Queen Mother's words that are elusive." Wei Qianlan looked at the emperor's complicated emotions.

The emperor waved his sleeves and returned to the Queen Mother's side again, and tried to comfort the Queen Mother. "Queen Mother, Princess Lan didn't mean to, I will definitely wake Wei Tingtang up

Come here. ”

With the emperor's words, the queen mother's face looked a little better, but she still didn't give King Lan and Princess Lan a good look, "Your Majesty, the mourning family wants to see Wei Tingtang." ”

"Someone, go and carry the people and the boxes to the main hall."

"Nope." Gu Ningyan stopped as soon as the emperor spoke.

The Queen Mother's face immediately became gloomy, and the emperor's face was slightly unsightly, "Princess Lan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Ningyan saw the emperor's displeasure, and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood the meaning of the courtiers, I mean that the tin box cannot be moved, but we can go to the underground palace." ”

The emperor fell into deep thought after listening to Princess Lan's words.

The Queen Mother was also suspicious, "What do you mean, people are in an iron box?" ”

"Father, let's go to the dungeon." The fourth prince then suggested, he had roughly understood from the sidelines that the queen mother wanted to protect Wei Tingtang, and it seemed that she still did not give up the throne.

He suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to leave the prince down.

Moreover, for the court and the people, no one will accept Wei Tingtang.

The crown prince Wei Luofeng didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to see what happened to Wei Tingtang, and then responded, "Father, let's go to the dungeon." ”

The emperor's suspicious gaze was in the body of King Lan and his wife and the crown prince

Sweep on. "What do you think of Princess Lan's suggestion?"

The crown prince, the fourth prince, and other ministers nodded in agreement.

"Let's go." The emperor took the lead and walked towards the dungeon.

Ye Yuan and Commander Zhang looked at the emperor and the queen mother in front of them in surprise, and they didn't understand what was going on at all.

"See the Emperor."

The emperor walked to the depths of the dungeon, and when he saw that the iron box was intact, he asked again, "You have worked hard, today I and the Queen Mother came here for Wei Tingtang." ”

"For the emperor, for the Northern Guard, the ministers are not hard." Again, they replied respectfully.

The emperor waved his sleeves and commanded them, "Open it." ”

Ye Yuan and Daniel Zhang looked at each other, or Ye Yuan spoke first, "Emperor, can you open it?" As he spoke, his eyes looked at Princess Lan behind King Lan, asking if it could be opened.

Gu Ningyan nodded secretly at Ye Yuan, signaling that he could open it.

The emperor naturally also saw Ye Yuan's gaze, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he knew that this matter had to be Gu Ningyan.

Ye Yuan and Daniel Zhang obediently opened the box with heavy chains, "Emperor, Queen Mother, please take a look." ”

The emperor walked towards the box, and the queen mother also walked over with She Lianhua's support, and her eager eyes fell on the box.

"This is..."After the Queen Mother half-bent down to look over, she suddenly got up and stepped back, to be precise, she was frightened.

"Grandma Huang, be careful." The crown prince quickly supported the body of the queen mother who almost fell.

The fourth prince looked at the line of sight and immediately covered his mouth and nose, "How can it be so fishy?" He almost couldn't stand it, and then looked at his father beside him, why didn't his father feel fishy?

The emperor reached out to probe Wei Tingtang's snort, and then frowned and retreated, "Still alive, come on, throw him out and put him in the water tank." ”

Because the dungeon has many torture instruments, including waterboarding, it is natural that there is a large water tank in the dungeon that can hold several people.
