Chapter Seventy-Six: An Appointment with Concubine Lian (2)
After walking along this corridor for about five or six minutes with Baili Qiye, I finally arrived at the place where Concubine Lian was imprisoned, to be honest, I really didn't expect that there would be such a sloppy and dirty place in the huge palace, as if this was not a prison at all, but a garbage dump, and in addition to Concubine Lian, there were some prisoners lying on the ground and unable to move.
"Here we are."
When I saw the person in front of me, I was still a little surprised in my heart, after all, to survive in this kind of place, normal people should be unkempt, but she didn't.
The clothes on her body are still the same things she wore when she was escorted down that day, although her hair and makeup are a little messy, but it is difficult to hide the nobility on her body, if she doesn't listen to the words of the heavenly master, I am afraid that she will go on peacefully in this life.
"What do you want to tell me?" Baili Qiye's attitude towards Concubine Lian like a stranger, he knew that the death of his biological mother was inseparable from Concubine Lian, but he could do this.
Concubine Lian stood up and glanced left and right at the two guards standing outside the door.
"She probably wants to talk to you alone, or I'll quit with the two people next to me?" I whispered to Baili Qiye.
"Go down, all of you, and come back in half an hour."
I thought I could leave this stinky place, but I didn't expect that Baili Qiye still held my hand and didn't let go, I had no choice but to stay where I was, in such a hot weather, our Night King's hand was cold.
Concubine Lian saw that the guards had gone down, so she told the purpose of this appointment.
"I didn't call you to confess or ask for mercy from you, this palace just wants to repay the kindness owed to your biological mother before she dies."
After listening to Baili Qiye, he didn't speak or behave, but he just looked ahead with a dull gaze, like a person in a daze, but in fact, his eyes couldn't focus.
"Your eyes should have been cured a long time ago, but there has been a lack of medicine, and this medicine is only available in the Qiang country, and your current bedroom has been put into the incense, not to mention that your eyes can't recover in the long run, even your life will be in jeopardy."
It turned out to be like this, no wonder I always felt easily tired in his room, and when I fell asleep, I would wake up more sleepy than before I went to sleep, it seems that this is the reason for the incense, so fortunately I only stayed in that room for about ten days.
"Did you call me to just talk this nonsense?"
Concubine Lian said with a smile, "You are really similar to your mother, the same lonely and arrogant, I have one last sentence to say, King Yue is not as simple as you see, and Baili Yue is afraid that he will do something to you soon, he said that he would poison you, but now I am afraid that his plan has changed." β
Baili Yue is actually already planning to poison Baili Qiye, I can't help but think of the previous incident of Yan Dingchen Yan Zituo and Yan Beiyan, the three of them are also brothers, but they can push their closest relatives to the abyss for their own interests, Yan Beiyan was able to crawl out of the pile of dead people alive back then, can this kind of luck Baili Qiye also have?
"What you say, this king will investigate it himself, you don't have to bother here, King Yue will not save you in order to protect Mingzhe, and this king has done his best to you."
It seems that Baili Qiye is still a little cautious about Concubine Lian's words, and that's right, in just a few days, Concubine Lian's temperament has become too big, but she mentioned Baili Yue, I have something to ask.
"Has His Royal Highness King Yue never left Licheng?"
I don't care about the current situation, I have always had doubts about Baili Yue, obviously he went to Mocheng back then, and he dealt with me a few times, but in a blink of an eye, this Baili Yue actually changed his face, and it was as if it had never happened at all three years ago.
"Why do you ask?"
I didn't care about the doubts of Baili Qiye now, so I could only continue to say, "A few years ago, I saw His Royal Highness King Yue in Mocheng, but King Yue three years ago and King Yue now have two different faces. β
"What a bold girl, the master didn't speak, but you jumped out a lot."
Baili Qiye didn't let go of my hand, but answered for me, "King Yue did leave Licheng a few years ago, but he didn't say where he went, I'm afraid he came up with some bad tricks, so that's why it's like this." β
"That's it, that's it, anyway, the palace can't get out now, and it's okay to find you here, Baili Yue's face has been burned by fire since he was a child, so he can only wear a mask for life, and only the old people in the palace and the palace and the emperor know about this matter."
I didn't think that the truth was like this, so maybe he didn't recognize me because he forgot what Princess Qing looked like after a long time.
After Concubine Lian finished speaking, Baili Qiye pulled me away without looking back, he dared to show me the way when he was blind, but don't take me to the ditch, or I am more at ease in front.
Out of this place, I felt that I could breathe freely, and after a few heavy breaths, I asked, "You still haven't told me why you took me there." β
"We'll find out by evening at the latest."
It's a new dumb riddle again, but this time he didn't lie to me, because in the afternoon, the palace began to spread the news that Concubine Lian died, saying that she had hanged herself, and the time of death was shortly after we left the underground palace.
The days passed without hurrying for another five or six days, and in these few days I thought of a good method, but this method had to be helped by me for hundreds of miles and seven nights, and I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve it by myself.
The reason why the eldest princess has come to the night king almost every day since she came to the night king this time, the reason is very simple, she said that she will have her own mansion in the future, and she is not a woman who is not married to enter and leave her brother's house at will, so while she is still here, she came to chat with him and chat, but obviously this excuse to increase the feelings of her sister and brother is naturally fake, and the real purpose of her coming to Baili Qiye is to ask him to invite the cold painter out to draw a beautiful picture for her.
"It's not that I said you, you're older than me, why are you so naΓ―ve, how can you be a proud daughter of the sky and have to fall in love with a painter, if your father knows about it, I'm afraid that the painter won't be able to live."
The name of the eldest princess is a hundred miles, but I don't look half reserved, and Lixin will actually have someone like it, it's really a fantasy.
Baili Jin looked indifferent, "So what, you will also say that he is a painter, it's a big deal that I will keep him as a face in the future, I like his talent, I like his appearance, but he is a little shy now, if I go to invite him, I am afraid that he will have to push three or four." β
Wait, I suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, a chance that I could escape without a hitch.
Baili Jin is a somewhat tough woman, but she now has a position in her heart, so she didn't use her identity as a princess to suppress it, before leaving, she only said that this matter would be handled by Baili Qiye, all in all, she had to have the opportunity to be alone with the cold painter.
"Since the eldest princess has a request for you, you might as well take this opportunity to win her over, although she is a princess, she is also the emperor's treasure, and many times the daughter's words are more effective than the son's words."
At this time, Baili Qiye was holding hands and thinking about something, and he came back to his senses when I spoke, "Nangu, you are a person who is leaving Licheng, why do you want to think about this king?" β
"Because the Li Kingdom is in urgent need of change now, if the development of King Yue's side is allowed to continue, then the consequences can be imagined."
I didn't say it thoroughly, but he should also understand what I mean, in fact, no matter who is the monarch of Li now, it is no bad for me, but Baili Yue is quite scheming, I think he used his disfigurement at the beginning, and let others go to Mocheng instead of him, and there are very few people who know about this matter, if he becomes the master of Li State, then maybe the next battle will break out soon.
"Desheng."
"Lord, what do you command?"
"You go and find the cold painter in the palace, just say that I have something to do with him tomorrow, and go and inform the eldest princess and ask her to come early tomorrow."
"Wait." I spoke up to stop Desheng from leaving, "If you are invited like this, I'm afraid that the cold painter will excuse him to leave, after all, he can find many reasons in the palace." β
"Looks like you have a better idea."
I sorted out my thoughts and said, "The main thing for the Grand Duke is not just a picture of a beauty, what she wants is the person of the cold painter, it is better for the prince to invite the eldest princess, the prince Yue and the cold painter into the mansion in the name of moving on the day the mansion is completed, so that you can kill three birds with one stone." β
Desheng, who was on the side, said loudly, "What do you mean by three carvings in one fell swoop?" β
Baili Qiye quickly understood what I meant, "Your brain is very flexible, then follow what you say, Desheng, you go and tell the cold painter first, let him free up the time, and say that this king will ask the cold painter to come to the mansion on the day the mansion is completed, and let him come empty-handed. β
"Okay, then the minion will do it."
Saying that, Desheng lowered his body and retreated, and I was a little relieved at the moment, as long as Lixin went to the newly completed palace that day, then I would have enough time.
"Nan Gu, it's the first time I've seen a girl like you, and to be honest, I'm really reluctant to let you go now."
"The prince laughed, where is Nan Gu, a girl worthy of the prince's thoughts, I hope the prince can keep his promise, and on that day, Nan Gu will leave with confidence."
Baili Qiye didn't say any more, but he didn't let me sleep in his room anymore, and before I walked out of this door, I still didn't give up and asked, "You already knew that there was incense in this room, right?" β
"It won't hurt you."
Sure enough, he knew about it a long time ago, but he still let me lie here for so many days in the name of letting me recuperate, and he just told the drugged man through me that he didn't notice anything unusual, so think that I was using him, and he was using me, but they didn't owe each other.
