married daughter

Chapter 344 Zhen Guo Division

The two guards guarding the door obeyed and walked away holding Qiulu who was standing in the courtyard by the collar.Qiu Lu was dragged around and scrambled, her face was full of tears, she shouted her injustice, and her voice faded away after a while.

"Your Majesty." A little eunuch announced in front of the door: "Emperor Concubine Renxian, Concubine Rougong, Concubine Zhao, Mrs. Xu and all the wives of the Xu family are here to visit Concubine Wan."

Hearing this, the emperor looked down at the pale Xu Xiangwan, held her hand and looked tenderly at her alone, "Concubine Wangui is weak and should not be disturbed, let them separate."

"Observe the order." The little eunuch led the order and went down.

Xu Xiangwan frowned worriedly, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, will this concubine be rude to the imperial concubine?"

"No, my will, do they still dare to blame?" The emperor stood up, took the back of Xu Xiangwan's hand and patted: "Nothing is more important than your body now, those irrelevant people are bothering you , where can you rest?"

When Xu Xiangwan heard the words, tears welled up in her eyes, but she burst into a beautiful smile: "My concubine, thank the emperor for his compassion."

The emperor ran his hands down her long hair: "You have a good rest, I'm going to the imperial study first, I still have some things to deal with. I'll see you tomorrow, huh?"

"Yes." Xu Xiangwan propped up half of his body, his long crow-green hair was hanging down on his chest softly, looking weak and pitiful.

The emperor only felt that his heart was softening, how could he be willing to suffer such a beauty?She secretly made up her mind to punish the person who framed her severely.There was an extremely gentle smile on his face: "Rest well, don't think too much. Don't worry, with me here, no one will hurt you."

Xu Xiangwan nodded sensibly: "Yes, the concubine is not afraid, and the concubine will send the emperor respectfully."

The two looked at each other silently for a long time before the emperor turned and left, and the hall returned to silence.Bai Wei led the little maids to file in, and lit the candles in the hall.They retreated again.

During this period, Ruan Yunting had been sitting on a small bed next to the heated kang, holding Xu Xiangwan's hand and not letting go.She was really terrified today.

When there were no other people around, Ruan Yunting asked in a low voice: "Sister Wan, you are always alert, how could you be poisoned?"

Xu Xiangwan leaned on the big soft pillow embroidered with golden thread peonies on the brocade, looked at Ruan Yunting for a long time before shaking his head, and said: "The horse stumbled, I was plotted against. Fortunately, there is no danger."

Ruan Yunting didn't doubt it, nodded and said: "Yes, I was scared to death by you."

Looking at the sky, Ruan Yunting knew that it was almost time for the curfew, so she stood up and said: "I have to go back to the palace, I can't stay in the palace without purpose. You have a rest, if there is anything, ask someone to find a way Send me a message."

"Okay." Xu Xiangwan looked apologetically at Ruan Yunting.Hearing her hoarse voice, one could tell how anxious she was with him, but she also wanted to have some privacy of her own, and she didn't want to talk about what happened with Shui Qiuxin today.But if he didn't say anything, he couldn't tell Ruan Yunting that she might have the same fate as her mother, and maybe she would be caught by Zhen Guosi.

Fortunately, she knew about this, and Shui Qiuxin also knew that if there was any good or bad in the future, she could help her out of danger.Thinking of this made Xu Xiangwan feel better, and ordered Bai Wei to send Ruan Yunting out.

Bai Wei sent Ruan Yunting all the way to the gate of Yueling Hall. Ruan Yunting worried that Xu Xiangwan didn't have a caring person by her side, so she hurriedly sent Bai Wei back.After walking a few steps, I saw Detai standing by the side of the road, followed by a little eunuch holding a lantern.

"Eunuch De." Ruan Yunting stopped and saluted gracefully.

Detai saw that it was Ruan Yunting who hurried up to greet her, "I've met Miss Ruan."

"Eunuch De is waiting here, is there something wrong?"

"Exactly." Detai corrected his complexion, and the light from the lantern shone upwards, making his face a little creepy in the night: "The emperor has something to ask you to do."

The emperor ordered him?Ruan Yunting looked at Detai suspiciously, waiting for his next words.

"Miss Ruan is here with our family. Just remember the same thing, watch more, listen more, and talk less. No matter what you see or hear later, you can only put it in your heart." Detai said, The right fist thumped his chest lightly.

Seeing that he was so serious, Ruan Yunting knew that today's matter was of great importance.Even if she was full of question marks and didn't know what the emperor was going to order her to do, worrying now would not help, she could only let nature take its course and follow Detai.

Ruan Yunting stabilized her mind and nodded: "Ting'er will follow Eunuch De's orders."

Detai looked at Ruan Yunting appreciatively, "Miss Ruan is a sensible person, she can understand everything. If that's the case, come with us."

Detai turned around and took the lantern from the little eunuch's hand, perhaps because he was used to it, and now he was bowing his body to lead Ruan Yunting.The speed is just right, it won't make Ruan Yunting follow too hard, and won't walk too slowly to waste time.

In front of the palace gate, there was already a carriage waiting there, Detai served Ruan Yunting to get into the carriage, jumped onto the shaft, and drove the carriage out of the palace gate himself.

Ruan Yunting was sitting in the car, and a delicate brass hand stove was thoughtfully prepared in the car, so as not to burn her, and it was wrapped with a layer of soft satin, with a light-colored persimmon pattern on it.

The carriage moved forward all the way, and Ruan Yunting didn't lift the curtain to look out. After walking for about two cups of tea, she stopped slowly.

Detai got out of the car first, brought a red-painted stool and set it up, lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Girl, please get out of the car."

"Thank you, Eunuch De." Ruan Yunting supported Detai's extended hand with one hand, and the stove with the other, and gracefully got out of the carriage.Looking up, I saw three big characters in gold on the high hanging plaque, which was extremely dazzling under the light of the lantern——Zhen Guosi!

"Eunuch De?" Ruan Yunting looked at Detai inquiringly.

With a smile on his face, Detai said, "Miss, please remember what our family said just now."

"Yes. I know."

Ruan Yunting followed Detai up the steps and came to the courtyard.

It was the first time for her to come to the Zhenguosi yamen, and when she entered the door, she would inevitably look around curiously, trying to find Jun Zhaoying.

The first yard you enter is no different from a normal yamen, with the lobby in the center and wing rooms on the left and right sides.Entered the lobby, went out the back door to the backyard, and walked along the long and narrow veranda. The light became increasingly dim. At the end of the veranda was a rockery. A familiar figure in black official uniform was already waiting there. .

"Fourth young master?" Ruan Yunting blinked.

Seeing that Ruan Yunting came with Detai, Jun Zhaoying's heart skipped a beat, and with a nervous face, she stepped forward to greet Detai.Detai gave Jun Zhaoying the emperor's secret decree, Jun Zhaoying nodded, turned around and pulled some mechanism.I only heard the sound of "Ka Ka..." from the rockery, and after a while, a hole that could pass through a person's width was revealed.

"Miss Ruan, come on." Detai made a gesture of invitation.

Ruan Yunting shuddered unconsciously, hugged the stove more tightly, and walked into the cave carefully, with Detai following behind her, and Jun Zhaoying walking at the end. .

The narrow road looks eerie and eerie under the illumination of oil lamps suspended overhead with chains.Ruan Yunting walked forward for about a cup of tea, and a brightly lit stone room appeared in front of her.A wooden square table was placed in the middle of the stone room, and the four sides of the square table happened to face four passages, and the way they came from was one of them.

Ruan Yunting turned her head and looked at Detai and Jun Zhaoying questioningly.

Jun Zhaoying pointed to the passage on the right: "This way." Then he walked ahead to lead the way.

Ruan Yunting and Detai followed Jun Zhaoying, and as they walked, faint cries and wailing came to their ears, like hallucinations, but so real.Along with the smell of decay and damp, chills down the spine.

On this road, all the prison cells passed by, with iron railings as thick as chicken eggs, clean and tidy floors, and torture instruments neatly hung on the walls.All the prisoners were listlessly sitting or lying on the stone floor without even straw.Clean is clean, but no matter how you look at it, it feels cold.

The further Ruan Yunting moved forward, the more frightened she became. She kept comforting herself, calmed down, and turned a corner with Jun Zhaoying.

"Huh?" Ruan Yunting stopped suddenly.Because she saw a different cell.

The torture equipment was also hung in the room, and the floor was often wet stone floor, but there was actually a Babu bed inside, with a small table next to the bed, and a sewing dustpan on the small table.In front, there is the Eight Immortals table covered with a big red tablecloth and two rose chairs.On the only stone wall at the back, there was a line of large characters written with a brush, but it was blurred due to age, after careful identification, Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, the words clearly read—"Xu Cailing is here for a visit! "

Xu Cailing used traditional Chinese characters when visiting here, but you must know that there were no punctuation marks in ancient times, and behind the line on the wall, there was a big exclamation point clearly drawn!
Ruan Yunting felt excited and puzzled at the same time.These words were written by her biological mother!But why did Xu Cailing come to Zhen Guosi's prison?Looking at the layout of the cell, she should have lived here for a long time.

"Eunuch De..." Ruan Yunting called Detai hesitantly.

Just as he was about to ask the question, Detai said: "You shouldn't ask, don't ask."

One sentence suppressed Ruan Yunting's question again.He could only follow Jun Zhaoying and Detai through an iron gate.

Inside the iron gate is a closed stone room without windows. On the left side is a wooden table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.There was a chair on the right, a man covered in blood and disheveled hair sat on it, and two men in black stood behind him.

Detai covered his mouth and coughed, and said: "Let her do it." Then he said to Ruan Yunting: "Miss Ruan, go and write down everything she said.

Ruan Yunting nodded and came to the table. Fang picked up the pen, but saw the disheveled man raised his head. That young face was just seen in Yueting Palace.

"Qiulu!!" Ruan Yunting exclaimed in disbelief, the person who was fine just now is no longer human!
