t, Old Madam walked out supported by Ye Lianlian. Behind her followed Mu Shi, Xiao Shi, Liu Shi, and a crowd of elders.“The four words 'black-hearted and ruthless' pierced her heart. She immediately r..."How could this be Why is it so red" The concubine finally couldn't help but run to the door, her eyes catching sight of the empty space that was so crimson it almost looked like blood. She started to feel afraid. 。"Could it be that the stories about the gem are true The color is exactly the same!"
Ye Wenyan comforted her: "Don't overthink it, it's just a special kind of aura. It's like last summer's big snowstorm..." 。Though unusual, elephants exhibiting abnormal behavior is not unheard of throughout history. 。"Moreover, Your Majesty, jewels only work wonders near the sea, don't they This Water City is so far from the ocean!"
The concubine nodded in agreement. "Yes, this isn't by the sea. It probably isn't that jewel..."
But where did my jewel go Did someone pick it up, or did it fall into a crack in the rocks, or maybe the pond Yes, the pond, it could have fallen into the pond. 。There's a lot of water in this Pingxi Prince's Mansion, she must have fallen into the water. 。She began to shout, "Come here! Come here!"After shouting for a while, someone finally came over. It was a maidservant in her twenties. She seemed to have been frightened by the sudden elephant and trembled as she ran over. When she got closer, she still trembled and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness" The concubine said, "Immediately order people to drain all the water from the entire manor." 。I lost something and suspect it fell into the water. 。 “The maidservant almost burst into tears, “My Lady, you’re all red like this. Who would even care about drawing water Don't worry, if you truly fell into the water, even if we don't find it now, it will definitely still be there later. No one goes down to the bottom of the well to steal things.” 。“
The concubine rarely got angry with the servants, but now she didn't know if it was because of the red light, her temper seemed to be out of control: "I am a concubine, so you don't listen to me! If I were the legitimate wife of Prince Pingxi, wouldn't you do anything I asked"
Before the maid could answer, the elephant changed again
" 。Previously red, now even more so. 。And it seemed like something was pressing down, squeezing the clouds lower and lower until they were almost touching the ground. It made me feel like I couldn't breathe. 。The maidservant burst into tears, asking incessantly, "What's going on Is it going to collapse"Even the concubine forgot about wiping her water; she was also wondering if it was going to collapse. It wasn't that she didn't trust anyone else at this point, but in this situation, she surprisingly started to believe Ye Wen again. 。She grabbed onto Ye Wenyan and asked, "What's your name" Ye Wenyan: "Yaoyao, Xiao Yaoyao" 。"Okay, Yaoyao, you stay behind and keep me company. Be my close attendant and help me guard Yuan'er." 。"Well then," Night Wenyan thought for a moment, nodding. "Alright" 。" The two turned and went back into the house. The concubine slammed the door shut with a loud "bang," even locking it, as if there were some monster outside. 。She told Ye Wen, "Let's just stay in the house. No one goes out." 。This situation feels off to me, it's not like the big windstorm last summer. 。> It might really be collapsing, and if it collapses everyone will be done for. 。“She’s done, and then she ran back into the room and hugged Yuan'er, “I’m not afraid of death, I even hope that everyone in this palace dies.”
But I can't bear to lose Yuan'er. I struggled so hard to give birth to him, how could I bear for him to die as well 。Ye Wen stood by the window, because the concubine wouldn't let her open it, she used her hand to poke a hole in a piece of paper on the window and watched as people ran outside. She could vaguely hear many people crying. 。The guards of the mansion were maintaining order. When they saw someone crying loudly, they would kick them or beat them up. 。Gradually, the order in the palace was no longer as chaotic, but it also hadn't returned to normal. 。The house steward came to relay a message: the lord had ordered everyone back inside their rooms and to stay put, venturing out only when absolutely necessary. 。The steward even went to the side concubine's door and asked, "My Lady, are you alright Is the young master alright"The side concubine replied, "It's fine, we can't die..." 。"Done, she then asked the steward again, 'Where is the King Has he gone out'
The steward nodded, 'Replying to Your Majesty, the King went out to attend to some business. Before leaving, he specifically instructed us to take good care of the young master and the Queen.' " 。The slave has increased the manpower in this courtyard. If Your Majesty has any orders, please feel free to give them. 。"The concubine wasn't a big deal, so he let her go." 。Until the steward walked away, Consort only sneered. She turned to Ye Wenyan and said: "What about taking good care of us, increasing manpower is just for surveillance. He's afraid I'll run away with the children." 。The moment I ran, he was completely finished. 。“Your Majesty, why do you say that”The concubine said, “Prince Pingxi made a deal with my father. My marriage to him is actually a way for my father to keep an eye on Prince Pingxi.” 。For the King of Pingxi, it was a hostage held in his very hand. 。I am here, Yuan'er is here, so my father cannot turn against him. 。"Yo yo, do you know what my father does"
Ye Wenyan thought for a moment, “He’s the magistrate of one of the prefectures under Guiyue.”
"It's not just the magistrate, my father is also a close relative of Emperor Guiyue." 。So he has a lot of say in Gu Yue, my cousin-emperor also trusts him very much. 。Many things were being handled by my father for him, and he was carrying the burden of many responsibilities. 。But he was also very good to my father, trusting him to govern a province instead of keeping him in the capital under his watchful eye. 。"Yao Yao, I don't know who you are, but I still say the same thing. I believe in my vision and intuition. You are not a cook if you are not a cook, whether you admit it or not." 。Some things I probably shouldn't tell you because I'm not sure which side you're on. 。You're probably a person from the Moon. If I speak these words, then my and Yuan'er's lives might be forfeit. 。But if I don't, I might suffocate. 。In summary, since you've come to this Pingxi Prince's Mansion, and have done so in such a sneaky way, at least it makes it clear that you and the Pingxi Prince aren't on the same side. 。As long as we are not on the same path, I feel at ease. As long as our paths diverge, we won't be enemies. 。Yaoyao, I'm telling you, King Pingxi has done a big thing. 。He conspired with my father to mine iron ore from Beqi and transport it to Guiyue, where it was used to forge weapons for Guiyue's soldiers. 。My imperial cousin has been plotting to attack Northern Qi, but not the central lands of Northern Qi, but this water city... No, he is going to attack Chunlan City. 。There is a secret passage in Shuicheng that leads directly to Guiyue. The soldiers of Guiyue can pass through this passage silently and unnoticed, reaching the outskirts of Chunlan City. 。With King Pingxi in Shui City, it's practically already under the control of Guiyue. Chunlan City will likely be caught off guard as well. 。Yaoyao, if you were from the Northern Qi side, I'd tell you a secret - that secret passage connects to the other side of Guiyue. There's an important figure stationed there. 。"He is not my father, but the most trusted eunuch beside my imperial cousin, Eunuch Lan!" me. I don’t even know her name.” 。That is the man my third younger sister entrusted me to watch over. He is supposedly a concubine of the Sixth Prince. 。I'm looking after the woman for her, in exchan...
