Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 59
"What are you doing with such a small mind?" She grumbled and put it on for him, "I haven't forgotten."

"It's okay to be small-minded. It should be small when we meet you, but it's not as big-hearted as you are." He snorted.

She leaned into his arms with a smile: "I am a little maid, can I live until now if I don't have a little more heart?"

"That's true. If you are not careful, the queen mother will not choose you here, so I will miss you."

During breakfast, Qin Yunwei was relieved to learn that the owl had been caught, and asked Qin Yunyao, "Then where is it? Is it still alive?"

"I sent someone to a dungeon, so I think he's still alive."

"Then can I go take a look?"

"Naturally." After Qin Yunyao finished speaking, he said to Ji Liangruo, "Let's go together and interrogate the assassin by the way."

"What assassin?" Qin Yunwei asked.

"The assassin came last night." Qin Yunyao said, "He sneaked into my room when I was in Bixiaoyuan. Fortunately, I was alert, otherwise I would have died in a dream."

"What?" Ji Liangruo was startled.

He said: "Because of that, I woke up and couldn't fall asleep, so I wanted to come over and have a look, but I didn't expect that he didn't leave." The assassin is also smart. Generally speaking, if he failed at that time, he would naturally run away quickly and choose to come again next time. .

But once he was in danger, he naturally stepped up his precautions and never gave anyone another chance!But last night, he will no longer be on guard. If the opponent goes and returns, it will be easier to succeed.Fortunately, there were so many guards in Jingyueyuan last night, otherwise something might happen.

They went out after dinner, and Ji Liangruo asked Xun'er to accompany them.As soon as they left, Dongyue immediately went to Ji Liangruo's room.Opening the treasure box and looking, the same jade hairpin she saw on Yin Chuxin's head last time was still there, she guessed that the same one might be more than one, so she took the whole box away.

If there were a few more things that Yin Chuxin had, then Qin Yunyao's charge of treason would be even more established!
Going back to the house, she took a cloak and put it on. She held the box in her arms with the cloak, and walked out quickly.I don't know it's not easy to get out of the house, but now I can only fight!If Ji Liangruo has obviously betrayed the queen mother, she will die if she drags on!

Just after leaving the flower hall, I met Xun'er walking in.Seeing her attire, Xun'er asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

She choked up and said, "Do something for the princess!"

"What's the matter?" Xun'er frowned, a little displeased, "Why didn't I hear about it?" No wonder the princess took her out today, it turned out that she had left more important matters to Dongyue.

"She won't let you go, so of course she won't tell you!" Dongyue said, asking her, "Why are you back? Where are the concubine and the others?"

"The concubine forgot to drink the medicine, the prince asked me to bring it, they are waiting for me in the garden." Then he walked inside.

"Where is it in the garden?" Dongyue asked anxiously.

"Over the gazebo by the water."

Dongyue thought about the location of the gazebo by the water. After going out, she walked towards the side door or the back door. As long as she didn't meet the guards, it should be easy to get rid of...

She hurried out of the Jingyue Courtyard, and as soon as she left the Moon Cave Gate, she saw Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo walking towards them.

Startled, she took a step back, revealing a corner of the treasure box.

"What are you doing with my jewelry?" Ji Liangruo narrowed his eyes.

Dongyue looked at them and knew that she had fallen for them.They must have guessed that she was moving, deliberately left her out, and deliberately came back!

She held the box tightly, turned her head and ran to the side.

"Mo Yan! Catch her!" Qin Yunyao said.

Mo Yan flew over and stood in front of her.She didn't have time to stop and bumped into him.The treasure box fell to the ground, pearls, hairpins and emerald rings scattered all over the floor, each piece was radiant and shining, all of them were of the highest quality.

"How dare you steal from the princess?" Qin Yunyao's cold and heartless voice came from behind.

She turned her head and glared at Ji Liangruo angrily: "You betrayed the Queen Mother?"

Ji Liangruo raised his eyelashes, and his eyes were sharp: "I've heard a saying - a good bird chooses a tree to live in."

Dongyue gritted her teeth and looked at them, she didn't know what to do for a while, she couldn't report the news...

"Take her to the dungeon and lock her up!" Qin Yunyao said.

When she heard it, she thought of someone in a hurry, and shouted into the Jingyue courtyard: "Eunuch Wang——"

Everyone was surprised!
Mo Yan slashed her shoulder with a knife, and she fainted to the ground.

Ji Liangruo said anxiously: "Get her away quickly!"

"Go to the dungeon!" Qin Yunyao said.

Mo Yan picked up the man and ran towards the dungeon with lightness kung fu.

Ji Liangruo looked at the jewelry all over the floor, and then looked at Jingyue Courtyard, expecting that someone must have heard the shout and made a quick decision: "Yunyao, Yunwei, you are here! Hold the book, follow me in! Yunwei You pick up the jewelry and put it away, don't let anyone see it, then go to the gazebo and wait for me, I'll come over after drinking the medicine!"

After finishing speaking, she led the book in.

Eunuch Wang and Xun'er were running out. Seeing her, Xun'er spoke first, "I seem to hear Dongyue's voice?"

"Dongyue?" Ji Liangruo looked puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"

"Uh... She just said that she was going to do something for the princess, so she went out."

"Nonsense!" Ji Liangruo scolded, "What did I ask her to do? What about my medicine?"

"It's in the house!" Xun'er hastily stepped aside and let her in.

Eunuch Wang glanced at them and looked outside, wanting to see what happened.

When Ji Liangruo saw it, he stopped and asked him: "Does Eunuch Wang know what Dongyue is doing for me?"

"How could it be?" Eunuch Wang sneered, "However, I seem to have heard Dongyue's voice just now."

"That's it..." Ji Liangruo pondered for a moment, "Then it must be her, you should look around!"

She went into the house and drank the medicine, and accidentally spilled a few drops on her clothes.She sighed helplessly, and said to the book: "Wait a minute, I'll go change clothes." Then she took Xun'er back to the house.

The treasure box was missing from the dressing table. I didn't notice it for a while, but I felt something was wrong after all.Xun'er frowned and looked at it for a few times, finally found it, and gasped: "Wang, Wangfei—" She pointed there, stuttering and unable to speak.

"What's wrong?" Ji Liangruo pretended to be annoyed.

"Beads, jewels... are gone!"

Ji Liangruo was startled, and then sighed: "Isn't it still there in the morning? Did you put it in the wrong place?"

Xun'er thought about it wrong, she had never put it in a wrong place before, and there seemed to be no place to put the box down.She ran over to open the drawer and looked around, then suddenly remembered what happened to Dongyue just now, so she told Ji Liangruo, and said, "She seems to be holding something in her hand, could it be this?"

Ji Liangruo thought about it for a while, and said displeasedly: "It's hard to guard against a house thief! So many things happened recently, and last night was even worse. She stole my things today. What's the origin of this girl?"

"It's nothing to do with slaves!" Seeing that she was unhappy, Xun'er said anxiously for fear of being implicated.

Ji Liangruo turned around and walked out, calling the maid outside: "Go and ask the butler, Dongyue, if she's gone out! Ask someone to search everywhere and find her for me!"

Then he took Pengshu and Xun'er and left.

Eunuch Wang stood under the rockery and looked at them with doubts on his face.

The prison in the palace is divided into three floors, one above ground and two underground.The ground is a sky prison, where the sun can be seen; the middle is a dungeon, where the sun cannot be seen; the bottom is a water prison, just like hell.

Only Qin Yunyao, Ji Liangruo, Qin Yunwei, Mo Yan, Xun'er and Pingshu were waiting outside the door.

Ji Liangruo saw that there were guards guarding both inside and outside the prison, and asked Qin Yunyao, "Do you often imprison people?"

"Not often." Qin Yunyao said, "They were originally night watchmen, and every prince has them. But I don't like people walking around in the middle of the night, walking around in a mess, so I just let them practice how to manage the cell."

She didn't understand why the palace built the prison. He said: "The palace was not born to be the palace. When Taizu founded the country, he competed with the Yan family for the world. He took the other family's family hostage and handed it over to a general to take care of him. This is the general's residence. The general built sky prisons to lock up people, and later arrested the remaining party members, and built dungeons and water prisons."

Ji Liangruo listened, and after a while he said, "Why did the first emperor let you live in this place?"
