Chapter VI: Interrogation

I didn't eat for a whole day, I couldn't even drink a sip of water, I was hung for a long time, and I was punished countless times, Duo'er's voice was no longer as crisp as I remembered, but at this moment it seemed to be a broken gong rubbing against each other, hoarse and harsh.

But in the end, she opened her mouth and stopped pretending to be dumb, which is a big breakthrough.

A few palace people who stayed behind couldn't help but be a little surprised, the queen tortured and interrogated here for a day without any movement, this Miss Jiang really has some ability, and only a few words made Duo'er break the line of defense.

Those who have been in charge of torture for a long time know that the hardest bones in this world are not those who are indignant and indiscriminately shouting and scolding, nor are they righteous and awe-inspiring people who are bent on death, but this kind of people who do not want to die but refuse to speak. It's like a jewel that has fallen into a pit, which makes people think about it, but they don't know where to start.

This Jiang Mengyun is not in vain.

I've heard that she is quite strategic, and I thought it was more exaggerated, not to mention that she just looked delicate, and when she saw blood, she seemed to faint with fright, who knew that she really had her own set of methods when it came to interrogation.

A figure outside the door shook, Jiang Mengyun lowered his head, as if he was unaware, and looked at Duo'er and said: "Am I from Liang Guo, don't bother the girl, the girl is not worried about me, it is better to worry about yourself." ”

"You have worked hard to enter the palace, and you have been able to stay in the palace safely for more than half a year without incident, although my aunt is a whim, but the ministers of the interior do not eat white rice, and naturally there has been a strict investigation of your identity, which means that there is no problem with your own life experience, at least on the surface."

"But if you are really an orphan girl in the countryside who has lost her relatives, after going through all kinds of hardships, how can you easily ruin the stability and wealth that you have so hard to get now?"

Jiang Mengyun tilted his head and looked at her with a smile: "You must know that in two years of amnesty in the palace, you will be able to get a free place to go, and you can also get a large amount of money to settle, even if you don't want to leave this rich township, as long as you get the favor of your aunt, you will be looked down upon by any royal family and nobleman, and you can sit back and relax from now on." ”

"You didn't, why? In order to be the crown prince's concubine? ”

Jiang Mengyun laughed, shook his head and said, "No, because that Duo'er did exist, but you're not Duo'er." ”

It was almost midnight before the rain slowly subsided.

Unlike the gloomy and damp dampness in the prison, the corridor in the palace is filled with a refreshing wind. Empress Xue's face was still not good-looking, but the palace people behind her whispered a few words to her, and the air pressure around her was significantly eased, and she said in a low voice: "Keep staring." ”

Taking a deep breath, Empress Xue raised her head, looked at the rain that gathered into a thin stream of rain on the eaves of the corridor, and didn't know what she was thinking, so she said again after a while: "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”

She had already been to the palace once, and the princess cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen like ripe peaches, although she kept blaming herself, but every sentence was insinuating that her mother-in-law had connived at the people around her to do wrong things. The prince is better, without the slightest remorse, and is still clamoring to see that damn Duo'er!

I wanted to get that woman to my side at the beginning, but it was just to show her own gentleness and virtuousness, and this matter was also hyped by her, and was praised by many ministers in the court, saying that she did have the loving heart of the mother of a country, and she was the best candidate for the mother in the world, but who expected that she was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and she actually had a day when the boat capsized in the gutter.

This Duo'er's posture is only middle and upper at most, and it is not as good as the girl next to the crown princess herself, Queen Xue really wants to break her head and can't understand why the prince is like a demon, and she is still thinking about her to this day.

Now, the second prince of Xie Guifei has already reached the crown, and he has made countless achievements in the war of war horses at a young age, in the just-concluded Liang-Wu War, he killed all sides, although he also hung the color, but brought back the head of the general of Wu Zhenguo, the emperor is now looking at him, it is really like seeing the heart and liver baby!

The crown prince is three years older than the second prince, but he is idle and has achieved nothing, although he has already taken a kiss, he does not care about the princess at all, and does nothing to mention it, even the most basic inheritance of the family has not been done, and even now he has not seen a child, and this kind of thing has happened.

It was nothing to accept a few palace maids in private, but it was when the second prince returned to the dynasty in victory, Xie Guifei was wanton and beautiful, and the emperor was happy. This stinky boy didn't know what he was afraid of, and when he was congratulating the court, he dared to hide in his bedroom on the grounds that he was slightly ill, and did such an unsightly thing!

Empress Xue couldn't help gritting her teeth, if it was said that Concubine Xie and the second prince did it deliberately, it really didn't make sense, this happened suddenly, could it be that they still have the eyes of heaven and ears, and know what the prince who is far away in the East Palace is doing?

Unless that slut is theirs!

But how is that possible? Although Queen Xue hated the two mothers and sons, her mind was not confused, this Duo'er, I am afraid that it is more likely to be an enemy country, as the mother of a country, she still has this vision.

Besides, at that time, she couldn't look down on the second prince's high-spirited face, so she took the initiative to mention the prince, wanting the emperor to care about her son.

Who would have thought that this concern would care about such things!

Hundreds of civil and military officials, important ministers of the court, Xie Guifei, the second prince, and a few princesses all followed the emperor to visit the prince who was sick.

Further inside, the clothes that had been taken off were taken off, one by one, each of which was like an iron slap, and it was slapped in the face so fiercely. This damn Duo'er is shameless, and she also caused the prince to commit the crime of bullying the king, so how can she not be annoyed, how can she not be angry?

Thinking of this, Empress Xue's face became more and more ugly, and she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and asked, "The emperor is still not there?" ”

A palace maid immediately leaned up behind him and replied: "Niangniang, the slave maid just sent someone to see, the emperor hasn't come back yet, but Xie Guifei is there, the second prince, the eldest princess, and the second princess are all gathered, and it is very lively, and the second prince has brought people to dance the sword to the emperor to cheer up, and our people don't dare to get too close, and it's not easy to ask......"

"Huh!" Empress Xue sneered, "This kid will climb the pole, it's just that, the emperor is afraid that he won't have time to take care of the affairs of the palace today." Let's go, go back to the palace and rest, won't we have to hold a banquet for our noble second prince tomorrow? ”

The palace maid at the back didn't dare to say more, so she took half a step back and entered the team, and followed Queen Xue slowly to the dormitory, leaving only two to guard the side of the corridor, as long as Jiang Mengyun had news there, she could immediately pass it on to the queen.
