Chapter XXXI
Out of Cining Palace, one of the maids who escorted Mo Li couldn't help but say to the maid next to him: "Do you know? I've been working in Cining Palace for five or six years, and I've never seen the Queen Mother get so angry. ”
Then he turned his eyes to look at Mo Li and sneered: "Heh, the person who dares to talk to the Queen Mother like this, you are also the first person, because those people who were like you before are no longer human, but all ......" and then squeezed his eyebrows and compared a head-killing action.
After listening to the maid's words, Mo Li's face did not have the panicked and frightened expression that the maid wanted to see, but continued to walk forward with a calm face, as if what the maid said had nothing to do with her.
The maid saw Mo Li's indifferent demeanor, and did not see the effect she wanted, so she turned her eyes and spoke again: "Do you know what kind of place the stewardship is, where there are the same torture instruments as the prisoners interrogated in the prison, and when the time comes, I will use a few of them for you, tsk, just your small body......"
"Is that enough? Say enough and let's go. Mo Li suddenly stopped and looked at the maid, and replied in a calm tone.
I was nervous just now because so many people were staring at me, plus this was the first time I saw Mu Xuan's family, I was afraid that I would be nervous and scared if I didn't behave well, and now I ......
Hehe, now that all of this is no longer important, since you already know that they don't like you, why bother to deliberately welcome them? What's more, he is still a person who doesn't take other people's dignity seriously and insults other people's parents at will.
At this moment, she is disappointed in her heart, she doesn't know if she still has the life to leave this palace alive, and she is about to leave this world before she is reunited with her parents?
Mo Li looked around, the exquisite pavilions and luxurious palaces looked so cold at the moment.
The splendid palace was not what she was looking for, and if she could, she would rather live with her grandmother in that humble hut.
"Hmph, let you be arrogant for a while, and see if you can laugh later." The maid snorted coldly, and walked forward with Mo Li with an unkind expression.
On the west side of the palace, it is located in a slightly remote area.
A palace is silent, the low dark red tones give a sense of oppression, and the screams that come from time to time are eerie.
"Ah~ah~"
"Spare me, I won't dare anymore."
The dark and dark environment is mixed with all kinds of screams, begging for mercy, and insults from all around, which makes people feel terrible.
There were many bloodied people in the cells, some of whom were only twelve or thirteen years old.
Mo Li felt a little uncomfortable looking at the bloody scenes around him, and the maid escorted by Mo Li's side was also frightened by these scenes, before he had just heard others say how terrible and terrible it was here, but now when he arrived here, he realized that this place was not only terrible, but also a hell on earth, and it was really hard to imagine that there was such a cruel place in the magnificent and luxurious inner courtyard of the palace.
The maid lowered her head slightly in fear and walked forward, inadvertently glimpsing that Mo Li's expression was not as calm and calm as before, and a hint of a sinister smile slipped across the corners of her mouth.
Are you afraid? No!
At this time, Mo Li looked at the scene of purgatory on earth, and the first thing that flashed in his heart was not fear and fear, but pity and grief.
For the first time, she felt that the world was not as perfect and full of joy as she thought, and it also had the existence of the emperor, the queen mother, and these evil people who tortured them.
"Help me."
As soon as Mo Li and his party walked to a prison cell, a woman covered in blood and whose face had been covered by dirty blood stains and couldn't see her appearance clearly said to Mo Li.
Mo Li stopped and looked towards the voice, looking at the figure, this person should be the same age as himself, as if he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Don't look at it, you'll be like her soon." The torturer in the cell smirked evilly, and as he spoke, he whipped his right hand hard at the girl's back.
This time, the girl didn't even cry out in pain, as if she had only one breath left, and she could die at any time.
Looking at the thin and thin girl, Mo Li couldn't help but ask the eunuch who was being tortured, "I don't know what crime she has committed?" ”
"What sin? She broke the emperor's favorite vase, this kind of punishment is light for her, if it weren't for the emperor's mercy, she would have been connected to the nine clans. The eunuch's yin and yang strange tone echoed in the cell, making Mo Li's face slightly pale.
"Just because you broke a vase? Heh~" Mo Li sneered and left with difficulty.
A vase is not worth the life of a person in the prime of his youth.
Mo Li's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, but now that she can't even protect herself, how can she save her?
The girl saw the figure of Mo leaving, and the last glimmer of light in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she looked up into the distance with difficulty, as if she saw her childhood self lying in her mother's arms.
"Good girl, my mother will tell you your favorite story, there was an old man in the past, he ......"
"Mother, my daughter misses you, and my daughter is here to accompany you."
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly exhaled his last breath, his hands hung down weakly, and he ended his short life and passed away tragically.
……
"This is the person whom the Queen Mother specially ordered to be treated well, you can't be lazy."
As soon as she arrived at the place, the maid hurriedly said that she couldn't wait to leave this ghost place at this moment.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, when you get to our housekeeper, you have to shed your skin if you don't die." The consul of the stewardship hurriedly replied.
"That's good," the two maids exchanged glances with each other, and then hurriedly turned to leave.
As soon as the two maids who stayed by the Queen Mother's side left, the smile on the consul's face changed instantly, and his smile was so hideous and evil at this moment.
Coupled with the appearance of the eunuch himself, his appearance at this moment is not only extremely disgusting, but also a little creepy and chilling down the spine.
"Take her to the Tianzi cell."
……
And what about Xia Wanqing's side? Since Mo Li entered the palace with the palace maid, Xia Wanqing hurriedly rushed to the mansion of the second prince Mu Feng, but the guards at the door told her that the second prince was banqueting the ministers in Juxian Mansion at this time and was not in the mansion.
Xia Wanqing hurriedly rushed to Juxian Building, but was blocked by the guards as idlers.
Finally, Xia Wanqing shouted and made trouble in front of the door of Juxian Building, and was almost taken down by the guards guarding the door, and it took a lot of effort to finally see Mu Feng.
"Second Highness, my sister was taken away by the Queen Mother, I am worried about what happened to her, can you enter the palace to take care of her." Xia Wanqing's face was worried, and her tone was extremely anxious.
"Don't be in a hurry and say it slowly, how could Li'er be taken away by the Queen Mother, what the hell is going on?" Mu Feng frowned and asked, as far as he knew, the Queen Mother was quiet and nurturing on weekdays, and rarely communicated with outsiders, how could she suddenly announce her departure and enter the palace to meet her?
"Qing'er doesn't know, it's like this, when I go to deliver snacks to my sister today......"
After listening to Xia Wanqing's description, Mu Feng also felt that something seemed to be wrong, and then the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who threw down the table, ignored it and immediately rode a fast horse in the direction of the palace.
As soon as Mu Feng arrived at the palace, he immediately rushed to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, but after arriving, he didn't find Mo Li's figure, and knocked on the side of the Queen Mother to get some news of Li'er, but the Queen Mother kept diverting the topic and deliberately delaying, never mentioning who she had just met and what she said.
Mu Feng suppressed his anxious mood and listened to the Queen Mother's chatter for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back and stood up to interrupt the Queen Mother's words, and asked again.
"Queen Mother, forgive the emperor and grandson for being rude, can you tell me where the girl you invited is now?" Mu Feng didn't go around in circles anymore, and directly opened his words.
"Look at you kid, do you mean Miss Mo? She talked to me and soon I asked her to go back. The Queen Mother said with a doting face, but she was even more unhappy in her heart, what tricks did this fox use, and why did this wind care so much about her.
It turned out that her name was Mo Li, and she only told me that her name was Li'er after knowing her for so long, and she only knew her name today, Mo Li, Mo Li, Mu Feng whispered in his heart, a good name, and gave such an evaluation for a long time.
Later, when he knew that this was given to Mo by his rival Mu Xuan, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and secretly scolding himself for today's evaluation, of course, this is a later story.
"So Li'er, oh...... No, it's Miss Mo, who has left a long time ago. ”
Mu Feng hurriedly got up, "Since this is the case, then the emperor and grandson will not disturb the queen mother's rest, and the emperor and grandson will retire." He quickly turned around and walked out the door.
"Hey...... This kid" saw the figure of Mu Feng leaving in a hurry after saying nothing, and the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Humph!"
When Mu Feng's figure disappeared, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, even Mu Feng was like this, it seems that the fox really can't stay.
Mu Feng walked to the entrance of the palace, and happened to meet Xia Wanqing, who was anxiously waiting outside, and seeing Mu Feng come out, Xia Wanqing hurriedly ran over and said anxiously: "How is it?" ”
Seeing that Li'er didn't follow behind Mu Feng, he continued: "What about Li'er? , It's been a day, and Li'er hasn't come out yet, why do you have to talk about it for so long? ”
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother said that Li'er has already returned home." Mu Feng comforted.
"Back home? It's impossible, I just sent someone to the house to see it, and she didn't go back to the house at all. ”
When Xia Wanqing heard Mu Feng's words, the uneasiness in his heart was even worse, and sure enough, his guess was correct, something must have happened to Li'er.
"Won't you go halfway to play?" Hearing Xia Wanqing's words, Mu Feng frowned slightly and guessed.
"No, Li'er will definitely bring me when she goes out to play, and she also asked me to prepare her favorite snack, with Li'er's love for this snack these days, she will definitely not go to other places." Xia Wanqing said anxiously.
At this time, Mu Feng also felt that something was wrong, and asked the guards guarding the door beside him: "Have you ever seen the person who met the Queen Mother leave today?" ”
"Back to the second prince, there is indeed a person who the Queen Mother wants to see entering the palace this morning, but the subordinates have not seen this person leave the palace, but this person may not go to another palace gate." The guards replied.
"Yes"
Mu Feng bowed slightly, but he knew in his heart that this possibility was very small.
The nearest palace gate to the house is here, if you change to other palace gates to walk half an hour away, through these days of living with Li'er, he is extremely familiar with Mo Li's more lazy temperament, not to mention half an hour is to walk an extra quarter of an hour to Li'er's temperament is categorically impossible, so Li'er she will never give up the shortcut and choose other palace gates.
"Follow me into the palace."
Suddenly, Mu Feng pulled Xia Wanqing towards the palace again, but this time he used light skills.
"This ......"
As soon as the guards wanted to stop him, Mu Feng's figure disappeared around him, which showed how far Mu Feng's speed had been.
Why lie to him? Why? At this moment, Mu Feng's heart kept repeating this sentence.
