Chapter 68 The dungeon searches
"Military Attache Zhou?"
A woman's question came to mind behind Zhou Zheng, interrupting his thoughts, and when he turned around, he saw the husband standing behind him, and hurriedly bowed down and asked:
"What does the queen ......command?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I just want to ask if it's inconvenient for you to go to a place with me after breakfast for a while?"
"Where does the queen want to go? ”
"No, you don't need to prepare anything, you just walk with me. I'm going to the dungeon to visit Mi Luo, the imprisoned demon daughter. ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.
"By the way, I want to meet someone. However, this person is outside the palace, can Military Attache Zhou know how to spread the word?"
"The queen's mother's orders, the lower officials must be loyal to their duties. I don't know who the queen wants to meet, and when do you want to see her?"
"Prime Minister Song's daughter, Song Zijing. If you help me pass it on in a moment, will she be able to enter the palace before today?"
"Back to the queen's mother, if Song Zijing is in the capital, he will be able to enter the palace to see you today. ”
"Then it will be troublesome for Military Attache Zhou, but it is better to do this matter quietly, and not quietly. ”
"The subordinate understands, so he tells the subordinate to do it. With that, Zhou Zheng turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the person behind him.
"Since Military Attache Zhou is the emperor's most trusted person, he doesn't have to be so polite when he talks to me. In the palace, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to call me by my name, so the military attache Zhou took the word queen away, and only called me Shengniang, right?"
"Yes, sis. ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and replied blankly. He didn't understand, she was obviously a noble daughter of the Wu clan, who had been worshiped and raised by the Wu clan since she was a child, but why didn't she have any arrogant shelf? Compared with her, the demon clan's concubine Mi Luo Ke is full of shelves, she lived in the Suluan Palace for two days, the palace in the palace was driven out of the palace by the slightest mistake, there was a palace lady who talked about her and Qi Fang in private, and she slapped her more than a dozen times after hearing it, and she really didn't talk about it at all. Since then, the cold-blooded beauty of the demon clan, Mi Luo, has become famous in the palace, and the palace ladies have all avoided her.
He suddenly remembered the time he had seen her in Xinglin Hall seven years ago. Wait, that is to say, she came to the capital seven years ago? At that time, the rumors that the world had spread all over the world were that she was seriously ill and the daughter of the Wu clan, wasn't she the real witch daughter? Or did she leave the Wu clan? But why did she leave the Wu clan......
"Military Attache Zhou?"
Seeing that Zhou Zheng lowered his head for a long time and didn't react, the husband reached out and poked the sandalwood hairpin on his head, and it was very interesting to see him retreating in a panic and shouting rudeness to retire. Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, she could kind of understand that He Tudou trusted this person. It's really like a gathering of likes, and he is exactly the same as the potato's former introverted and shy temperament.
After she finished washing, several palace ladies entered the Fengyi Hall one after another with breakfast. A bowl of porridge, a plate of side dishes, a few vegetarian buns, and a tea egg, the husband looked at the food on the table and was very happy, all of which were her favorite on weekdays. Although she loves meat, she does not want to eat it in the morning. Since she lived in the Fengyi Palace, although the breakfast list is simple, there has never been a day when it is the same. She lifted the chopsticks, wanted to reach out and pick up some vegetables, saw the tea eggs and thought of potatoes, as long as there were tea eggs in the past, she ate egg whites, and he ate egg yolks. He was in a hurry in the morning, and he didn't know if he had eaten breakfast.
"Do you know the Dao Tu, ah no, did the emperor have breakfast?" she turned to Gong E beside her and asked.
"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor has been in the early dynasty, and it should not have been used. ”
Gong E lowered her head and replied, she heard that this queen mother is a dignified witch daughter, since they have learned the power of the demon clan's daughter, they are afraid that they will offend this witch clan by saying the wrong thing, and they will end up being slapped in the face.
"Yes, then do you know where he went after the morning and the morning?" the husband's eyes dimmed, and he opened the tea egg and continued to ask.
"Back to the queen's mother, after the emperor has been in the early dynasty, he is usually in the study. ”
"Hey, you can help me get this to him in a moment. Well, go to the imperial dining room and bring two hot buns together. She put the yolk of the tea egg on the plate and handed it to Gong E beside her.
"Yes. ”
"Thank you. The husband ate happily and thanked him with a smile.
"The slave doesn't dare!" I don't know if she hid a knife in her smile, Xiao Gong'e was so shocked that she knelt on the ground.
The little palace ladies packed up their plates and walked out of the Fengyi Palace. Gong E, who had just spoken to her husband, was sweating behind her, and the other Gong E next to her was standing in the distance and didn't hear them, gossiping close to ask what they had said.
"Hey, nothing. The queen mother just asked the emperor if he had used breakfast, and I said that the emperor was afraid that he had not used it in the early dynasty, and the queen mother asked me to bring the egg yolk and buns to the study. ”
"Ahh Every time we serve breakfast to the queen, the emperor has tried it first!"
"What?!Isn't there a special food official who tastes it? It's miserable, I just said the wrong thing, if the queen mother knows that I will be punished, what can I do......" Xiao Gong'e's hand trembling with the plate, and the plate in the plate also trembled. Gong E next to her hurriedly held down her trembling little hand, afraid that she would let go of her hand if she was not careful.
"Don't worry, although the queen mother is the daughter of the witch clan, she is 108,000 miles away from the daughter of the demon clan, and she will never punish you for this little thing. Two days ago, Dongmei accidentally dyed the white clothes she wore most often with oleander flowers that bleached her nails, and she just smiled and asked Dongmei to simply dye the clothes pink. How could she take this little thing to heart?"
"Ah, then I'm relieved. But the emperor is really in love with the queen! It's no wonder that the queen is so beautiful, I am moved when I look at it. The fiery dress she wore this morning was so beautiful......" Xiao Gong'e sighed with fascination.
"Hehe, when the emperor was His Royal Highness Qinglin, he didn't get close to women, and everyone privately rumored that he had a habit of breaking his sleeves. I think it's still a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, I heard that the emperor stayed in the Fengyi Hall last night!"
"Ah, what a ......" Xiao Gong'e blushed.
"But I'm really happy, I finally can't see Zong Shu's nasty face of bullying, she used to rely on herself to be the emperor's personal palace maid and always dictate to us, and now even the queen is polite to us, so she has to speak!"
Gong E next to her complained indignantly, presumably having suffered a lot of sulking from Zong Shu before.
"Zong Shu? Ah, isn't that Gong'e who looks like a fox? So where is she now?"
"Well, it seems that she is still in Qinglin Palace, I haven't seen her much in the past two days. Hehe, she's afraid she's sad, and she doesn't look at how many pounds and taels she has, and she thinks that the emperor likes her, it's really self-inflicted......"
"It's no wonder that the emperor is indeed a talent, and he has talent and learning, and his martial arts are also powerful......"
"Ah, don't you like the emperor too?"
"I hate it, how can people ......" Xiao Gong'e blushed.
The youngest daughter is fighting in her mouth......
In the Fengyi Palace.
The husband's hair bun was combed into the cross bun most often dressed by the witch concubines, and a red court dress stood in the main hall, waiting for the meeting with Mi Luo today. Unexpectedly, the first time the two met today after meeting by chance as a child was in the dungeon.
The golden feather phoenix behind the big red court dress spreads its wings and soars, this court dress is a costume worn by the witches of the past dynasties when they dance to the sky. She wants to meet her as a witch concubine today, and her excitement is no less than that day's martial arts test.
"The Queen's Mother. ”
Zhou Zheng obediently called outside the Fengyi Palace, signaling that he was ready. As soon as the voice fell, the husband walked out of the Fengyi Hall and came to him. He lowered his head, the flickering red light flickered, and when he looked up and saw the husband, he was completely shocked. In the past few days, she has been wearing plain clothes, either draped in green silk, or in a casual elegiac bun, looking lazy and casual, but she didn't expect her to suddenly comb her hair in a bun, and she would be so bright and beautiful when she put on a gorgeous costume, which was amazing.
"Military Attache Zhou, let's go. ”
"Ahh ”
He hurriedly lowered his eyes, he was stunned, it was too rude, and he sighed in his heart, the legend says that the daughters of the demon clan and the witch clan have been stunning for generations, but they didn't expect to be so beautiful......
"Military Attache Zhou, before you go to the prison, you can go to another place with me. ”
"I wonder where I'm going?"
"The Imperial Dining Room. ”
Zhou Zheng followed her inch by inch, thinking that in the past half a month, the head of the food department had not stopped coming to see her for a day, looking at the situation of the two calling each other brothers, guessing that she had been disguised as a man for a long time. He really didn't understand it more and more, she should be a goddess who was enshrined without leaving the gate, no relatives and no reason, how did she come to worship her brother, and how did she get acquainted with Qi Fang, a bunch of questions were held in his heart and wanted to ask, and he knew that he shouldn't ask more.
"Military Attache Zhou, do you have something you want to ask me?"
"yes......"
was suddenly asked by her, Zhou Zheng replied casually, and only reacted after answering, and he didn't know what to say in a panic. Looking up at her, he saw her walking forward without looking back, and he wondered if it was her talking just now, or if it was his own auditory hallucination.
"Tudou, ah no, although the emperor said to let you follow me, but a general who led the troops to fight came to be my caretaker, and these days I have indeed wronged you. I have seen that you have been talking for the past few days, and I think you have something to ask me. Since the emperor said that he trusts you, then I will also believe you. In the future, we are afraid that we will not see it when we look down, and some things still need to be made clear. You can ask whatever you want, and you don't have to care about what status is inconvenient to ask. Although I was born as a daughter of the Wu clan, I have only been in the Wu clan for six or seven years. When the world sees me like this, they will be suspicious, and it is no wonder that you are suspicious. ”
Zhou Zheng followed her and listened silently, and suddenly felt that she had seen through her heart, and she was a little moved in her heart for a long time. Since she said so, he had to ask clearly: "Niangniang, may I ask you that you stayed in the Xinglin Hall in the capital seven years ago?"
Hearing his question, the husband paused, and replied:
"Yes. ”
"The acquaintance with the emperor is also in the Xinglin Hall?"
The husband frowned, thinking that there were a lot of things that Zhou Zheng knew, but there was no need to hide these things from him, so he answered truthfully: "Yes." But how did Military Attache Zhou know about the Dao? I'm afraid that the only people in the palace who know about our childhood are the emperor and me, and the emperor told you?"
"No, it's because Xiaguan was rescued by the emperor who was still a physician at the time seven years ago, and he lived in Xinglin Hall for a while, and he has seen you a few times. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't remember you. ”
The husband tried his best to recall the scene of his childhood, but Xinglintang had patients every day, and they were all gray, and he really couldn't recall that the potato had saved him and he had met him. But this should be the favor that Potato said he owes.
Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, she is really the little girl of Dan Nian, it is really a time flies, she has grown so big, sighed and sighed, and when she came back to her senses, they had come to the imperial dining room. The palace people in the imperial dining room were busy preparing the ingredients for lunch, and he was so busy that he wanted to spread the news that the queen had arrived, but he was stopped by the husband.
Although her husband was canonized as the queen, she was imprisoned for half a month, so there were only a handful of people in the palace who had seen her. The palace people didn't know her, but Zhou happened to be a military attache of no low rank, so Gong E still had to give way to salute when she saw him, and in the unimpeded way, the two of them came to the room where the chef was in charge through the crowd of people who saluted sideways.
"You wait for me outside the door, and I'll come out after I say a few words. The husband thought that the rabbit master was still out with the gods, and if he accidentally saw it, he was afraid that it would be bad, so he wanted him to wait outside the door.
"Niangniang, I'm afraid this is impossible, the emperor asked me to follow you every step of the way. ”
"If I'm going to go to the latrine, you're going to follow me too?"
“...... At this, the lower official can send someone to follow. ”
The husband was suddenly one head and two big, and he was really completely speechless to him, so he said that he was like a potato, but he didn't expect that even the stubborn appearance was exactly the same. I really couldn't talk about him, so I simply asked him to pass it on and listened to it, so that the gods and the rabbit could also be prepared.
"The queen has arrived~"
She regretted it before she heard him pass it, and was yelled by him like this, and the originally noisy imperial dining room was shocked for a moment, and then there were all kinds of fluttering kneeling sounds behind her, shouting in unison: "The queen mother is auspicious~"
She turned her head awkwardly and motioned for Zhou Zheng to hurry up and let them get up.
The god man was originally holding a carrot and grinding his teeth like the rabbit master, but suddenly heard a sound from outside the door, and hurriedly rushed out of the door with the rabbit master's fart, but saw the husband with a bitter face, and the palace people kneeling all over the courtyard shouted and kowtowed.
"Brother Xian, you're here. How about it, how about it? How did you talk to the emperor last night? I still made a bet with Master Rabbit, I bet that you and the emperor must have been very affectionate, and Master Rabbit bet that you have made no progress, na, who won?"
The corners of the husband's mouth twitched and twitched, and he asked, "What are you gambling on?"
"I can only eat carrots for a week if I lose, and I can't eat carrots for a week when I lose. ”
"You can eat carrots for a week! If I find you stealing something else, don't blame me for taking your bottom!"
The two of them actually bet on her?! She was so angry that she snatched the rabbit who was still very calm and gnawed on the carrot with relish, and turned around angrily and left.
After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned back and said to the man of God with cold eyes, "Don't come to me today, otherwise my brotherhood with you will end here." ”
Looking at her back, the god looked up to the sky and sighed, Brother Xian, don't ignore me, what did I do wrong!
Zhou Zheng hurriedly followed behind her, and was wondering what she said to make the usually dignified and steady chef cry so on her knees, but she turned into the imperial dining room and picked out some food and put it in the food box. Holding a rabbit in his left hand and a large food box in his right hand, he walked out of the imperial dining room.
"Military Attache Zhou, I don't know the way to the dungeon, please lead the way in front. ”
"Yes, Niangniang, I'll help you carry this food box. ”
"Ah, thank you. ”
"This is a matter for the lower officials. ”
The rabbit looked up at her outfit and had a rough idea in his heart, she must have gone to find the demon daughter. Lying in her arms, he was extremely relieved, the man of God is stupid, waiting to eat carrots for a week! He grew up watching the potato, that kid has been awkward and stubborn since he was a child, and the matter of the husband and wife must have to wait until the wedding! But when he heard the answer that she and the kid had not made any progress, his hanging heart was temporarily relaxed.
"Mother, the dungeon has arrived. It's cold inside, don't you put on this cloak?"
The husband took the dark cloak handed over by Zhou Zheng and carried it on his body. It is rumored that the dungeon is damp and dark, and it is true today. Walk down the narrow and dim steps step by step, if it weren't for Zhou Zheng in front of her to help her light up with a bamboo lamp, maybe she would have accidentally stepped on the air and rolled down. The further down the road became, the more chilly it felt, the slightest wind blew past my ears, and there seemed to be the sound of ticking water not far ahead, making the silent and eerie dungeon seem even more eerie.
However, what frightened the husband the most was not the gloomy coldness of this place, but the fact that there were too many unjust ghosts who had died here and refused to leave. The mournful sound of the ghost's roar was in her ears, and the cry was miserable, and she had to recite the supernatal spell to dispel the unjust souls that pounced on her again and again. From the entrance of the dungeon to the place where the demon clan daughter was imprisoned, she spent a lot of strength, although her body was cold, there were many beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Through the cracks in the railings of the wooden siege, Mi Luo sat with his back to them, wearing the same ice-blue gauze that he wore in the martial arts arena that day, and the phoenix crown with his hair combed was a little messy after a long time, but it still maintained its full shape.
"Open the cell door. ”
All the way here, the husband no longer had the strength to talk politely to the guards.
"Yes, Queen. ”
Mi Luo didn't get up when he heard the sound behind him, he turned his back to the husband and sneered and asked, "It's inconvenient for Mi Luo, the daughter of the demon clan, to go out, I wonder if the queen likes the ghost I sent to meet you?"
