Chapter 12: Survival

"Exactly." Seeing this, Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief: "On the second paper, Wen Cairen confessed that he was following the arrangement of Concubine Shu and wanted to murder the imperial heir. At the same time, her maid also confessed. The cause and effect are clear. In addition, Wen Cairen also confessed that when King Ji fell off his horse during the winter solstice hunt, she also obeyed Niangniang's arrangement, and together with Wang Zhaoyuan, King Ji had to ride a wild horse and black lion, and when Concubine Shuniang arranged for someone to give medicine to the black lion, she was staring at it from the side. ”

Concubine Mei Shufei was completely sleepless at this time, and her face became more and more heavy when she listened to Yuan Li's words.

Concubine Mei Shu didn't say anything, but Li Yun, the eldest duke next to her, sneered at Yuan Li and said, "You cheap slave dare to slander people." Let's ask you, if Yuanfu went to the Wen Cairen in the middle of the night to sign the indictment, how did your little chamberlain know the contents of the pleading? ”

Concubine Mei looked at Yuan Li with sharp eyes.

Yuan Li's body shook. He didn't expect to be asked.

How do you know what's on a pleading?

He also asked Wen Cairen about this. Wen Cairen said that she saw it.

She saw it, she saw it......

He hid in the darkness, and only saw the eunuch who drew the paper in front of Wen Cairen for a moment, and it was ...... But for a moment.

Did she read the contents of the paper?

I can't say that I saw it at a glance.

"That's what the slave and maid secretly saw, hiding in the dark of the torture room, and when the ink of the paper was not dry and was placed on the desk to dry, the slave and maid secretly saw it." Yuan Li tried his best not to make his voice tremble.

Li Yun frowned and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Concubine Mei's raised arm.

"Do you know anything else?" Concubine Mei looked at Yuan Li and asked.

Wei Guifei has always been in charge of Yeting Prison, and the people in Yeting Prison will naturally know more about Wei Guifei's affairs than outsiders.

Yuan Li knew what Concubine Mei Shu meant, opened her mouth, and suddenly heard the gentle and talented person's instructions.

"She'll ask you, and you won't have to say anything else, but this one time. She asks anything else, and you can't answer. ”

Yuan Li slowly closed his lips, and for some reason, he believed Wen Cairen's words inexplicably in his heart.

Or because she swore a blood oath that she would not harm herself, or because she could still find a way to survive in the alley where she was certain to die, or because she was like a ghost, she could guess what Concubine Mei did and did.

"The slave doesn't know anything else." Yuan Li buried his head.

Seeing this, Concubine Mei said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, just go back." With that, he stood up. Gonggong Li stepped forward to invite him out.

Yuan Li knelt a few steps in the direction of Concubine Mei Shu, and said sadly: "Niangniang, it's not that the slave doesn't want to say it." Slaves and maids don't dare to say it! ”

Concubine Mei Shufei stopped and turned her head to look at Yuan Li, who was pale.

"The slave and maid are also destined to be in a desperate situation, so they have to come to you to make a way to survive. The matter was reported here, and the slave and maid were born and died in half. But if you say anything else about the concubine, it will be certain death. Yuan Li said, sobbing sideways. It's not pretending, it's really sad and resentful.

Inexplicably, it came to the death of Wei Guifei.

Concubine Mei looked at Yuan Li and was silent.

Yuan Li, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but panic again in his heart.

"As long as you still have Wei Guifei's secret in your mouth, she won't let you die. Instead, it will keep you because of your cleverness. ”

Wen Cairen's words echoed in Yuan Li's ears. But you have to guess it......

"Since you don't want to talk about it here, let's go to the torture room and talk about it." Li Yuan said, while calling people to drag people out.

Yuan Li couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, how could he still come out after being dragged to the torture room!

I wanted to open my mouth and blurt it out.

"Stay." Concubine Mei suddenly waved her hand and said, "It's a clever one." ”

These words almost didn't make Yuan Li cry.

"Thank you! "Xie Yuanli's excited voice froze. Wen Cairen's hoarse voice resurfaced in his head.

"Don't be too grateful, don't be shocked by honor and disgrace, or even look indifferent."

"Thank you for your kindness." When Yuan Li spoke again, his voice became slow and calm: "If Niang Niang can keep the slave maid, the slave and maid will definitely know everything." and can testify. ”

Concubine Mei sat down on the chaise longue next to her: "You are the first slave who dares to negotiate conditions in front of the palace." ”

"It will also be the most powerful slave by Niangniang's side in the future." Yuan Li spoke calmly, slowly, word by word. It seems that there is no awareness of death and despair.

Looking at the eunuch in front of her, Concubine Mei Shufei hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Okay, this palace will protect you from death." ”

"In this way, not only can I tell my mother those things, but the slave can also be used as a witness to testify." Yuan Li suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked up at Concubine Mei and said.

"If you are a witness in the open place, you will be punished by the sword of the concubine." Concubine Mei said.

"The slave and the maid are not afraid, since the mother has agreed to protect the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid naturally dare not cower. There is no fear of swords, mountains and seas. Yuan Li said, pausing: "However, if you die, you are still a little afraid." ”

When Concubine Mei heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

"You slave, weird and funny." She smiled, relieved.

Wei Guifei's city mansion is not much worse than her, but what makes people headache is that she has wanted to arrange people in her palace many times. As a result, the Ayagi Hall was like an iron wall, and it couldn't be inserted into it. This is also for so many years, and she has either taken the initiative or passively counterattacked every time. But he has not been able to grasp the reason why the handle of the Ayaki Hall is put to death.

Now, the iron wall has finally broken a hole. She could get a glimpse of the hole.

Concubine Mei Shu glanced at the eunuch's weak body.

An internal chamberlain in charge of interrogation in the court prison, this hole is not small.

"If the mother wants to know, the slave will tell the court about the prison." Yuan Li saw Concubine Mei's happy appearance and said.

"No, there will be time to talk about these things slowly in the future." Concubine Mei raised her hand to stop Yuan Li's words. Her eyebrows and eyes stretched, this time, just one thing for this gentle talent.

The best way to do it is to nibble away little by little if the prey is too big.

What's more, Wei Guifei is a person like the prime minister's uncle in the previous dynasty.

"By the way, what about the little talent?" Concubine Mei seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked Yuan Li. This is an important witness.

Yuan Li was stunned for a moment and said: "Hui Shufei Niangniang, hang it in one breath, I don't know if I can survive tonight." ”

"You go with Zhu Er to find Imperial Doctor Zhu who is on duty tonight, and you must revive her." Concubine Mei said.

"Yes." Yuan Li bowed his head and replied, his voice almost trembling.

In the middle of the night, the rain was a little lighter and dripping. Zhu'er was walking in the rain with an umbrella, and seemed to hear sobs next to her.

Zhu Er turned her head to look at it, and felt as if she was dazzled. How can such a big father-in-law cry.
