Chapter 169: Falling into a trap
Early in the morning of the second day, Du Wei entered the Zhou Mansion to meet Concubine Li.
Concubine Li's henchman Mama Li had been waiting at the door for a long time, and immediately smiled when she saw Du Wei coming, "Niangniang has been waiting for a long time, Miss Du, please." ”
Du Wei was silent on her face, but she secretly doubted in her heart, it was said that with her own identity, even if Concubine Li gave face, she would not be worthy of being so attentive to the people around her.
And she herself, who has nothing to be flattered by, and who is not worthy of any man's flattery, is now receiving such preferential treatment......
The villain in Du Wei's heart touched his chin: There is definitely a problem......
Concubine Li was still sitting on the beauty couch, and after Du Wei gave the salute, she asked her to come closer, holding her hand and refusing to let go, and kept asking about Du Fu.
From Master Du Fu to the kitchen maids, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to hobbies and habits, it is simply outrageous.
Nima! Is this the rhythm of checking the account?
Du Wei was so annoyed that she was going to die, but she was smiling like a spring breeze on her face, and she hated that smoke was about to come out of her head.
Finally, before Du Wei was about to collapse, Concubine Li saw that her face was pale, so she called for singing and dancing, showed her her new rehearsal of "A Song of Shock", and asked Du Wei to give her guidance with a smile.
Du Wei couldn't guess the true thoughts of Concubine Li's expression, but the other party was not a character she could afford to provoke, so she could only be cautious everywhere and deal with it mentally.
Finally, at noon, Concubine Li was also tired, and Du Wei hurriedly took the opportunity to retire.
But he didn't go far out of the garden when he was stopped by a palace maid.
"The queen lady has a ...... please," the palace maid said expressionlessly.
Du Wei was tired and tired but couldn't refuse, so she had to follow the palace maid with a blue face, and greeted the eighteen generations of the queen's family one by one.
The queen temporarily lived in the Jingxiang Hall of the Zhou Mansion, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the main hall.
Du Wei couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart: Isn't this queen menopause early?
The palace maid didn't dare to go in, but stood by the door with Du Wei and waited.
"Why isn't that man dead?" The Queen's voice sounded unusually high-pitched, with an unquenchable rage.
There was silence in the hall, Du Wei didn't know if there were any servants inside, if there were, this would definitely not be able to respond, otherwise it was likely that the head would fall to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, after the silence, the queen's voice sounded again, "Haven't you found the tiger title charm?" If you don't get it, he'll be taken to the grave when he's dead!" ”
At this time, a male voice inside whispered: "Don't worry, my subordinates will find it even if they dig three feet into the ground!" ”
"What's going on with the prince?" The queen's tone softened.
"The prince has moved the household department and the criminal department without authorization, and it seems that he is preparing to insert the ......person who is going to insert him," the male voice replied.
"Go back and tell him, don't act rashly, just wait for that man to die, everything will be his, don't be in a hurry!"
"Yes."
Du Wei stood outside the Shizuka Palace, and suddenly a trace of unease crossed her heart.
Wrong!
It is said that it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to know the queen's secret in this case, why is she still standing here in a grand manner?
Turning her head to look at the palace maid who had brought her, she was stunned by the fact that her side was already empty.
I rub! It's a trap!
As soon as she thought of this, she only heard the queen in the Shizuka Hall say sharply: "Who is outside!" ”
Du Wei took a deep breath and forced herself to walk in.
In the palace, the queen sat on the throne, looking at her condescendingly, with a faint gloomy atmosphere between her eyebrows.
Du Wei stepped forward to give a big salute: "I've seen the queen Chitose, Chitose." ”
The queen looked at her for a long time and said quietly: "It turned out to be the concubine of Du Mansion and the niece of Governor Qian." ”
Du Wei buried her head lower.
"Why are you outside the Shizuka Hall of the Main Palace?"
As soon as these words came out, Du Wei knew that this matter must be a trap.
Obviously, the queen's palace maid brought her over, but now she asks her why she is doing this, is she trying to kill herself by using the excuse just now?
In just an instant, countless ideas had turned a few times in Du Wei's mind.
"The folk girl inadvertently got a lost piano score fragment in the front battle, and revised it completely, and wanted to ask the queen to evaluate it!" Du Wei is proficient in business, and she is a lie.
A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes, "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
Clapped his hands lightly, summoned two palace maids, and the queen said, "Take the piano." ”
Du Wei knew that if she couldn't play any lost ancient songs, she was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.
But fortunately, this is not a problem for her, Mai Ba was born and has Shi Niang's superb piano skills, all this is not a problem.
The songs that were played casually were all unheard by the queen.
The queen's face sank like water, and only the guqin could be heard in the Shizuka Hall for a while......
After the song, the queen nodded slightly, "Then play ......"
Du Wei swallowed her saliva quietly, the clothes behind her back were already soaked with cold sweat, but there was no clue on her face.
In the eyes of outsiders, Du Wei looks calm, has excellent piano skills, and plays all the tunes that no one has ever heard.
played several songs in a row, but the queen still didn't stop, and Du Wei was bitter in her heart.
But as time went on, she grew emboldened.
The queen could not find a reason to kill her, and if she continued to delay, sooner or later someone would find out about her whereabouts.
Wind and twilight cold...... He'll definitely find his own.
In the past, every time she saw this guy appear, it would give her a headache, but I don't know when she began to have a little hope in her heart.
Especially at times like these, when she looked forward to his appearance as much as she wanted to see the gods descend.
The sound of the piano continued to sound for two whole hours, and the queen finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Enough! ”
Du Wei was shocked, her fingers trembled, and a string broke in response.
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins." Du Wei knelt respectfully, her ten fingers shrunk in her sleeves, and she felt a faint pain.
"Du Wei?" The queen said coldly: "Raise your head." ”
Du Wei raised her head, but lowered her eyes, hiding the uneasiness in her eyes.
"Very good...... the queen stared at her and muttered, "You have courage, talent, and scheming, and you are very much liked by this palace." ”
Du Wei didn't say a word, but her heart was like a pot of porridge like a river and a sea, what does the queen mean?
"I heard that you are very close to the prince of Nanwang on weekdays, and he often protects you?"
Du Wei said calmly: "The folk girl was helped by the prince by chance before, and she is still grateful. ”
"Is it accidental...... "The queen's tone was quiet, "Then you went to the old Nanwang Mansion by accident?" ”
Du Wei sighed in her heart, she knew that the queen was no longer suspicious of her at this time, but was tempting.
"I wonder how Shizi's health has been lately?" The queen slowly picked up the teacup, blowing the floating tea leaves, and her tone seemed to be a common conversation, "The imperial doctor in the palace diagnosed that it was difficult for him to survive the New Year, and now it seems that he must have found a miracle medicine, you might as well tell the palace, what have you seen and heard in the old Nanwang Mansion?" ”
