Jiang Duanchen was in an unhappy mood to the extreme, even if he couldn't see Su Ling, the queen still found him such a. He suddenly thought that Jiang Shengchuan had said that the queen wanted to choose another good match for him, and he was worried that Su Ling was deliberately left in the palace by the queen.

It's just that the queen is not easy to deal with. If she really wanted to hide people, he couldn't force it. After warning Jiang Wenyuan, Jiang Duanchen went back to his house to think of countermeasures.

The subordinate sent by Xiao Heng to inquire about the information happened to see the scene between Jiang Duanchen and Jiang Wenyuan. He hurriedly went to tell Xiao Heng the source.

"He even dared to offend Jiang Shangshu's daughter? How much information does he have? Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel that Jiang Duanchen was a threat.

He seems to hold the handle of many people in his hands, but if he is not in a hurry, he will not show it at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Duanchen did not participate in the court dispute, and Xiao Heng felt a chill. If he became an enemy of Jiang Duanchen, it would be the worst outcome.

Xiao Heng stared at his subordinates and continued to ask, "What else did you find?" ”

The subordinate said with a sneer: "The villain also found out that Lord Jiang seems to have a girl who cares about her very much, but she is not liked by the queen and is secretly imprisoned." ”

"One, girl?" Xiao Heng narrowed his Danfeng eyes. Since this is the case, then there is a reason why he saw that Jiang Duanchen's face was not good today, and he did such a thing to Jiang Shangshu's daughter.

It seems that what kind of girl he must be can make Jiang Duanchen, who is not familiar with the world, give up for her.

Xiao Heng had a playful smile on his face.

"Let's go, let's go and say hello to the queen." Xiao Heng straightened his clothes and stood up. Walk towards the Fengming Palace, which never steps into the palace.

Nie Yunhua wanted to go and explain today's matter to Su Ling, but was told by the maid that the third prince wanted to see him.

"It's a rare guest." Nie Yunhua frowned and stopped, and left the water prison.

This Yan Guifei was pampered and arrogant, and never let her son step into her palace for half a step. What evil wind is blowing today?

When Nie Yunhua arrived at Fengming Palace, Xiao Heng had been waiting here for a long time.

"Erchen greets the queen." Xiao Heng respectfully saluted Nie Yunhua.

Nie Yunhua glanced at Xiao Heng suspiciously, not understanding what tricks he was going to play. She put on a kind and gentle face and asked softly, "Heng'er, you haven't been here for a long time, is there something going on today?" ”

Xiao Heng naturally heard the implication of Nie Yunhua's words, their identities were embarrassing, and they didn't need to move around to maintain their relationship. But he still greeted him with a smile, "Erchen heard that Niangniang was unwell, so I came to greet her, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng brought by Erchen, which is extremely replenishing for the body." ”

Xiao Heng motioned to his subordinates with his eyes to take out a brocade box, opened it, and a ginseng with good color lay quietly inside.

Nie Yunhua took a closer look, and the next person presented it with interest.

"It's indeed a good thing, it's really annoying Heng'er." Nie Yunhua put the ginseng away and took a sip of tea, "Is your mother in good health?" ”

Xiao Heng replied: "It's good, the emperor comes to accompany his mother and concubine every day for a walk and play, and he is in his thirties, and he is like a child every day." ”

"Yan Guifei has always loved to play, which is not surprising." Nie Yunhua was not stimulated by Xiao Heng's intention, anyway, she didn't love Xiao Guangji, and he was fortunate that no one had anything to do with her.

Seeing that there was no anger on Nie Yunhua's face, Xiao Heng suddenly lost interest, it seems that Nie Yunhua is indeed as others say, he doesn't like to compete for favor. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been resting on my laurels in this harem.

It seemed that he couldn't ask a reason for staying here, so Xiao Heng decided to find the mysterious girl by himself.

"The things have been delivered, the mother pays attention to the body, and the son retired." After Xiao Heng got up to leave, Nie Yunhua threw the ginseng to the maid and said with a disgusted face: "Take this thing and feed it to the dog." ”

"Yes, sissy."

"Wait a minute, feed that dog in the water cell." Nie Yunhua narrowed her eyes, in her eyes, Su Ling was something that was not even as good as an animal.

Xiao Heng did not leave immediately when he left the Fengming Palace, but wandered around outside.

Suddenly, he saw a handsome and charming maid receiving a familiar brocade box with an expressionless face, and standing in front of this maid was the maid who had just been beside the queen in the main hall.

"Qing'er, the queen asked you to send this to the dog in the water prison." The maid beside the queen said in disgust.

The stench in the water prison was unpleasant, cold and gloomy, so she didn't want to go, since Qing'er and Su Ling were friends, it was only right for her to go.

"Okay, Sister Huanxiang."

Qing'er took the key to the brocade box and the water dungeon, and turned to leave.

Water dungeon?

Xiao Heng's intuition told him that the girl he was looking for was there. So he followed quietly.

Qing'er came to the water prison and was stopped by the guards at the door, "Is there a handwritten message?" ”

Qing'er showed the key, and the guards immediately let him go. Xiao Heng looked at the guards at the door in the dark, feeling a little tricky. You can't get in if you follow here.

So he quietly waited for Qing'er to come out.

After Qing'er entered the water prison, she took the brocade box and threw it in front of Su Ling, "Eat, the queen will reward you." ”

Su Ling raised her eyes, the water in the water prison was cold and biting, and she was already unconscious. The lower half of her body was also slightly swollen under the water, and her wrists were tied to the stake, and she struggled to move.

Qing'er looked at her like this, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.

I don't know if it's because of guilt or pity, Qing'er silently picked up the ginseng on the ground and rudely stuffed it into Su Ling's mouth.

"Eat."

Su Ling desperately wanted to resist, and the astringent ginseng was difficult to swallow. But Qing'er's hands were quite strong, and she pinched Su Ling's cheeks tightly.

"Ahem......"

After eating a piece of ginseng, Qing'er stood in front of Su Ling and said emotionlessly: "Su Ling, don't be delusional about marrying Jiang Duanchen, the queen has already chosen another good match for him." If you don't want to die, compromise with the queen."

Compromise? She couldn't.

Su Ling bit her lip and didn't say a word.

Qing'er had no intention of persuading, so she packed up the brocade box and left.

She couldn't figure out what could be more important than life.

Su Ling looked at the dark water prison, it was so cold and desperate.

She didn't know when Jiang Duanchen would come to save her, all she could do was to live hard.

After Qing'er came out of the water prison, Xiao Heng stopped her in the dark.

"Little Beauty." Xiao Heng smiled and blocked Qing'er's way.

Qing'er saw that the man in front of her was dressed luxuriously, and thought that he must be a person of some status. She knelt down knowingly and said, "I've seen Childe." ”

Xiao Heng helped Qing'er up and said pityingly: "How come I have never seen such a beautiful little beauty?" ”

Qing'er replied obediently: "I am an outsider, and I only entered the queen mother as a maid a few days ago. ”

"Oh? The queen's eyes are quite good. Xiao Heng looked at Qing'er carefully. Qing'er was praised bluntly by the man in front of him, and thought that his appearance attracted him.

"Childe said he laughed, who is Childe?" Qing'er asked tentatively.

Xiao Heng smiled lightly and sneered: "I am the third prince of Da Xiao. ”

Qing'er was shocked at the moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The slave doesn't know that it is His Highness, if you are offended, please forgive the slave and maid." She guessed that he was noble, but she didn't expect the dignified third prince to appear in front of her.

Xiao Heng didn't put on the prince's stand, he still had a smile on his face, "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." ”

He saw Qing'er's water dungeon key dropped when she panicked, squinted the corners of his eyes, and stood beside her, blocking the key.

"I've got something to do, little beauty, see you next time." Xiao Heng squatted down and whispered in Qing'er's ear. He picked up the key and hid it behind him.
