Chapter Ninety-Five: Waiting for Death at the Bottom of the Well
Luo Qingyun woke up, to be exact, he was awakened by the freezing of the bone-chilling ice. It was dark and narrow all around, and you could reach out and touch the sticky walls, but the light from above seemed to be far away.
Could it be ...... He was thrown into a well.
Fortunately, this well is not deep, and the well water only touches her waist, and it doesn't matter whether the Queen Mother wants to kill people or let her wait for death here. Luo Qingyun slowly raised her eyes, looking at the small hole that was transparent to the light, she felt dazzling, she closed her eyes silently, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
After discussing the affairs in the army, Han Rong retired first, he had just come out of the Qianqing Palace, but he happened to bump into Gu Qinghong, Han Rong saluted respectfully, but saw Gu Qinghong snort coldly, and no one walked past him in his eyes.
Han Rong was very embarrassed and was about to leave, but he heard Gu Qinghong smile at the guards on one side: "Shaft, lack and conspiracy!" ”
The voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the people present, Han Rong was not annoyed, looked at his arrogant back, shook his head with a chuckle, and walked away.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was absent-mindedly playing chess with Prince Shuo, Bai Zi settled down and suddenly felt that this step was not good, but he saw that Prince Shuo was about to besiege the sunspot, and he joked proudly: "Your Majesty, today's level is very different from the past!" ”
The emperor looked calm and said, "It's my carelessness!" ”
"The trivial matters in this army are also arranged today, a few days ago, Annanguo also made General Han dare not do it again, as for Moguo, he doesn't dare to make any moves for a while, what else does the emperor have to distract?" Nangong Shuo smiled: "I'm afraid I'm worried about the lady in the harem!" ”
The emperor's expression was cold, and he reprimanded in displeasure: "If the imperial brother wants to play chess, concentrate on this, if not, just give up and go home early!" ”
"Hahaha, isn't it just a joke or two, why should the emperor be angry? Look, you're the one who has no intention of doing this today! ”
The emperor said coldly: "Then there is no need to play, there is no interest, this chess game is boring!" ”
Nangong Shuo smiled: "It seems that there is naturally no way to continue this chess today, and the minister happens to have some things in the house, so he will take the first step!" ”
The emperor acquiesced, and when he saw him striding away from the Qianqing Palace, he frowned unconsciously.
At this moment, he only had one name in his mind, Luo Qingyun!!
Today, he just gambled, angry at her that day, thinking that what she said was enough for her to implicate the nine clans, and she would die a hundred times. But he didn't order her to be punished after all, and she was the only woman in the harem who didn't know everything he gave.
As an emperor, he has never felt so frustrated, and the reward he waved casually was already grateful to Dade in the eyes of the other concubines, but he really thought about her, but she didn't want anything.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ruan has been outside the palace all the time, I don't know if I want to summon me?" Xiao Ping poured his tea and asked carefully.
The emperor was silent: "Let him go to the Queen Mother and bring Luo Qingyun here!" ”
"No!"
The emperor thought for a while, and then said: "Slow! Let's let him send Luo Qingyun back to Xiahui Palace! ”
"No!" Xiao Ping didn't dare to delay and ran out.
Today's events, even Xiao Ping knows that it must not be a good thing for Luo Qingyun to fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's methods are so ruthless that she can never bear it.
After all, he has done enough, he is not indebted to her, and naturally he will not lower his status to please her, and she is still so ignorant.
Ruan Yuheng had just arrived at the Zhaoren Palace, but he had eaten a closed door, and the grandmother in charge told him that the Queen Mother was resting, and Luo Qingyun had already asked the maid to send her back to the Xiahui Palace. Ruan Yuheng was very surprised and hurried to the Xiahui Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Du Ruo standing in front of the palace gate, and when she saw that he was coming, her eyes lit up, and she ran forward in small steps and hurriedly said, "Lord Ruan, have you caught up with our mother?" ”
"Didn't Concubine Yun come back?" Ruan Yuheng suddenly felt bad.
Du Ruo hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Excellency... Didn't you chase it? ”
As soon as Ruan Yuheng's pupils gathered, he didn't say anything more, and hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace.
"You mean, the Queen Mother deliberately detained Luo Qingyun!" The emperor was stunned and asked: "Keluo Qingyun is not a maidservant, she is in the position of concubine, how dare the queen mother detain her casually!" ”
"The minister is just guessing, don't dare to judge! However, the minister saw with his own eyes that Concubine Yun was indeed taken away by the Queen Mother! ”
The emperor said again: "Could it be that she left the Zhaoren Palace, but did not go back!" ”
"It's possible!" Ruan Yuheng raised his eyes and waited for the emperor's orders.
The emperor sighed, after all, he still couldn't ignore it, he hid his face in the dark, and said for a while: "You immediately take the guards to look for it in the palace, don't let go of every corner!" ”
"No!" Ruan Yuheng bowed down, hesitated for a while and asked, "If not, then the ministers of the Zhaoren Palace would not dare to break in!" ”
The emperor played with the jade wrench in his right hand with a cold expression, and the light in his eyes made people more and more impenetrable, and he sighed for a long time, and his voice was faint: "I will go to Zhaoren Hall now!" ”
He didn't dare to delay in moving to the Empress Dowager's palace, he didn't have time to think about how to say it to the Empress Dowager next, and he didn't think about how Luo Qingyun would be detained by the Empress Dowager next! None of this is important at the moment, he is angry, angry that he is obviously angry, but he still can't help but care about her safety!
No, he must be in such a hurry, it must just be because of guilt! I don't know where it came from, he secretly muttered to himself that there was a step.
Luo Qingyun can't remember how many hours she has been here, although it has been summer, but soaking in the cold bottom of the well, she is still very unbearable, she did not ask for help, but she thinks this is very good, those tiresome food and accommodation scandals, those treacherous and hypocritical faces, and the family members who care about but are vicious forces, she has no nostalgia at all.
If he dies, he will be able to see Song Zixun...... She was so cold that she couldn't open her eyes, and said to herself: "Even if you only have the last wisp of soul, I will guard it!" ”
In the Zhaoren Palace, Concubine Ying was anxious and thought about what Master Kongyuan said, she always felt a lot of discomfort these days, and her complexion was much worse, but didn't she kill a maid, this is not the first time, why is this maid so resentful, if it really entangles her, how can it be good to damage Yang Shou.
"What's wrong with you?" The Queen Mother sensed something and cast her gaze.
Concubine Ying was so distracted that she didn't respond. The maid on one side saw her in a daze, and hurriedly reminded: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother asked!" ”
"Huh?" She raised her eyes in astonishment, looked at the Queen Mother in a panic, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the concubine just thought of what Master Kongyuan said to the concubine, and she felt so uneasy in her heart!" ”
"Isn't there just a maid dead? It is not common for people to die in this palace, if every unjust soul can do what he said, then is there still a peaceful day in the palace? The Queen Mother reprimanded disapprenousively.
"But Niangniang, the concubine has indeed been unwell recently, and she always feels that something is wrong!" Her face was full of sorrow: "Can I ask Master Kongyuan to help the concubine exorcise evil spirits!" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Okay, don't scare yourself, when Luo Qingyun's matter is settled, I will ask Master Kongyuan to help you clear the evil things on your side!" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Ying was a little relieved with a hanging heart, and she said: "But the master said that there is no evil in Luo Qingyun, how does the Queen Mother plan to deal with her?" ”
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth hooked, and she said quietly: "The mourning family said that she is evil, she is!" ”
"Yes...... If the emperor knew that Luo Qingyun was here, he might not come to ask for someone! Concubine Ying asked with some jealousy: "What is Niangniang going to say to the emperor?" ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Someone? If the emperor really came, what does this have to do with the mourning family? Everyone present saw that the mourning family had let her go, as for where she went, how could the mourning family know? ”
Although Concubine Ying was not stupid, she didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant, she thought for a long time and asked, "Niangniang, did you kill Luo Qingyun?" ”
The Queen Mother glared at her fiercely: "Stupid, why did the mourning family harm her, if it is missing, it is Luo Qingyun who is lost, after all, Concubine Yun is crazy, and it is not strange to do anything!" ”
"Missing ......." Concubine Ying asked with some uneasiness: "The concubine is still worried, the emperor will definitely investigate this matter!" ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at her very unhappily: "You are a little promising, how can the woman of the Gu family be so useless as you?" If the emperor likes Naluo Qingyun today, can he be as good as Liu Yinyue back then? After three years, the emperor is still moved! Luo Qingyun is missing today, as long as she can't find it, who knows where she went? One day, someone else will replace her, do you think the man of the emperor's family is really affectionate? The Queen Mother gently stroked the crown of the emerald gold beads on her head, and her eyes were full of pride: "Only the power position is real!" ”
Concubine Ying was speechless for a while, thinking that she was covered by concubines like Luo Qingyun, she suddenly felt very angry, the corners of her mouth raised, and said with a smile: "It's the concubine who is stupid, and I am fortunate to have the Queen Mother point it out!" ”
