The queen is too black

Chapter 143 Old Madam, Stay Alright
There was only a faint candlelight in the prison, and it was pitch black, with no sky, no earth, and no self.Rats, cockroaches, and geckos crawl around in the dark.

The old lady was not afraid of wolves or tigers all her life, but she was afraid of the soft little mice.Every time she heard a mouse cry, she always felt terrified.

Now the mouse seemed to be trying to play tricks on her, crawling up her spine and jumping onto her shoulders, making her tremble with fright, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly the cell door opened, and a few dazzling rays of light shot in.Only then did the old lady and the old lady clearly see that bats were nesting on the roof, mice were digging holes at the foot of the wall, centipedes were crawling along the cracks in the wall, and cockroaches were densely packed on the roof.The ground is full of rat droppings, bat droppings, and cockroach droppings.

But overnight, how could their cell become so dilapidated.

Or maybe someone was coming today, so they changed a cell for them.

Standing at the door, Xiao Ce smelled a sour smell, stopped Tang Ning's footsteps, and said to Yuan Xiu who was following behind, "Take the two of you to the hall."

The old matriarch of An Guogong's mansion was also a man of influence in those days, and everyone admired him.It shouldn't be so miserable to be a prisoner now.Presumably someone knew they were coming, so they changed the cell in advance to put on a show!
Xiao Ming predicted that he would never let Ning'er set foot in such a filthy prison cell full of cockroaches, so he made a bad plan to prevent Ning'er from stepping into the prison.

This further shows that the old matriarch also has an unspeakable secret, otherwise why would such an arrangement be made.It is simply superfluous.

This does not correspond to the old saying: There is no silver 300 taels here!
If there is no ulterior motive, why cover it up like this!

Tang Ning also smelled the rancid smell and guessed that Xiao Ming was responsible for all this!

He thought she was weak and would never make fun of herself.

Then he really underestimated her. No one can stop what she wants to do.

She must figure out the secrets of An Guogong's mansion and Xiao Ming today.

Why does the old lady insist on getting involved in the affairs of the court when she is nearly eighty years old?And why Xiao Ming?

Brother Ce has made great military achievements and is deeply loved by his father. Everyone knows how to choose.Why are those people determined to help Xiao Ming?

Xiao Ce took her by the hand and brought her to the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment. Outside the lobby, Yuanxiu arranged for someone to guard on the spot to prevent anyone from approaching.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment saw the troops from the patrol battalion surround the lobby, and his legs went limp in fright.

The second prince sent a letter, no matter what, he must prevent the prince and princess from getting close to the old matriarch An Guogong.

Now he failed to fulfill the second prince's order.

Xiao Ming had a restless heart, and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment waited anxiously in front of the lobby.

In the lobby...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the old lady and the old lady, were dressed in rags, and they knelt in the lobby, looking at Xiao Ce and Tang Ning, with a stench all over their bodies. A trace of disdain and murderous intent flashed in their gloomy eyes.

"Old Matriarch, Madam, stay safe and sound!" Xiao Ce looked at the old Madam with deep eyes, with a bloodthirsty killing intent on his lips.

"His Royal Highness, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want to fight or kill, you can do whatever you want!" The old matriarch replied with a deadened heart, his eyes dimmed, as if he didn't care about anything.

Xiao Ce asked sternly: "Old Madam, do you still have to hold on?"

"What did His Royal Highness say that I can't understand?" the old lady replied disdainfully.

"There must be some reason for the old matriarch to still be jumping up and down the hall at such a young age. Now that the only two bloodlines in your An Guogong's mansion have been cut off, what are you still holding on to? Tell me! What is the reason that makes you use your body as a cripple? The body belongs to Xiao Ming?" Xiao Ce asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Ce, don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand just because you are the crown prince. This old lady is the first Mrs. An Guogong, even if the current emperor sees her, she should be courteous. Now..." How dare you interrogate this old lady?

"Old Madam, don't take yourself too seriously?" Tang Ningan sat quietly beside Xiao Ce, but without warning, she said: "An Guogong has passed away for many years, and the father still allows you orphans and widows to enjoy life and death." Leading the salary of Duke Anguo. Now that Wang Ziyan is dead, Tang Wan is dead, Duke Anguo's mansion is over, what else can you support?"

"I think I have seen countless people, but I don't want to be mistaken sometimes." The old lady gave Tang Ning a faint look and laughed at herself.

Back then, the old matriarch reminded them that Tang Ning was in charge of the situation behind Tang Wan's case.

Only when I saw it today did I know that the old lady was right.

Those eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts are daunting, and they dare not look directly at them.

Xiao Ce and Xiao Lie are swords on the bright side, while Tang Ning is a beast lurking in the dark, standing still and waiting for an opportunity.When the time comes, it will bite the enemy tightly and swallow the enemy's belt and bone in one gulp.

Hearing Tang Ning's sarcasm, the old matriarch disapproved on the face, and even "praise" without concealment: "As expected of a child raised by His Majesty and His Royal Highness, when he plays with his mind, he is really unparalleled! "

"You guys are deceiving people so much that Ning'er is not allowed to fight back?" Tang Ning asked respectfully and politely as a junior, calling her baby name.

Her voice is warm and gentle, like a March breeze piercing through the heart, but it is as sharp as a knife piercing the heart.

The old lady cast a sideways glance at Tang Ning and said mockingly and threatened: "Tang Ning, Tang Wan is your sister, aren't you afraid of retribution for the sister and aunt you killed?"

"Slap!" Xiao Ce's eyes turned red when he heard the old lady threatening Tang Ning.

"Yes!" Jiu Yu stepped forward, and Mou fought the old lady with all her strength.

Dare to speak out and intimidate the princess, it is a crime worthy of punishment.

Jiu Yu thought in his heart, and his attack became more and more serious.

He is old, how can he stand such a beating, but after a few slaps, his dull face will become swollen like a pig's head, how can he look human!
"Murder the prince, and you will be imprisoned by the nine clans according to the laws of Da Yue. Now that you are prisoners of your rank, how dare you speak lies!" Jiu Yu said, and the speed of his hands became faster and faster.

"Old Madam, don't say that An Guogong has passed away for more than 30 years, even if he is still alive, he would not dare to challenge the dignity of the royal family like this."

Xiao Ce said casually: "This king once swore that he would not let anyone hurt him, and slandered Ning'er for a while, now you are sending yourself to death, no wonder this king is being rude."

Picking up the brewed rose tea, holding it to the corner of Tang Ning's lips, her eyes dimmed: "Drag it down, and beat me to death with a stick."

"Yes!" Jiu Yu replied immediately, grabbed the lapel of the old lady's clothes and led her down.

"Xiao Ce, how dare you?" The old matriarch stood up and threatened angrily.

"Why doesn't this king dare?" Xiao Ce raised his eyes, hooked his lips, and quietly reminded: "Does the old lady think that this king will let you go?"
