Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 60
Qin Yunyao smiled: "The former emperor asked me to live in Yunyang. I think it's too far to enter the palace over there. Seeing that this garden is empty, I want to come here."

Go through the dungeon to the door to the dungeon.The door is a thick wooden door without any gaps, it is impossible for the outside light to shine in.

The guard opened the wooden door, and a staircase appeared, with oil lamps hanging on the wall.

A sharp cry came from a distance, and Ji Liangruo said to Qin Yunwei, "It seems to be that eagle."

Qin Yunwei nodded, and saw two guards coming over, stepping aside.There was no slope on the stairs for Qin Yunyao's wheelchair, so he had to be carried down by two guards.

On the next level, the air smells dull, musty and decayed.

Qin Yunyao asked the guards to take them to see the owl first.

The owl is kept in a huge birdcage that looks like a prison cell too.The birdcage was placed on the ground, and there was an iron chain hanging from the top of the cage. The iron chain hung from the roof, as if it could lift the huge cage off the ground.

"I've never understood what this cell is for. It looks like it's for this little guy!" Qin Yunyao flicked the cage with his fingers, making a crisp clang sound. It sounded like the cage was made of iron.

Qin Yunwei looked closer for a while, and asked, "Is that one? I remember that it has something tied to its leg, which is the same as the letter box on a carrier pigeon." She was originally wary of Ji Liangruo, but Dongyue's words just now indicated that Ji Liangruo was not No matter if it is the empress dowager's person, she will not cover it up.

"Yes." Qin Yunyao took out the piece of paper from his belt and gave it to her, "There is this in it, can you understand those words?"

Qin Yunwei opened it and looked at it, then shook her head: "I don't understand."

"It seems to be a symbol that can only be understood by elaborators, not some foreign language." Ji Liangruo said.

"Then I can only find Dongyue." Qin Yunyao said, "I don't know if she will recruit..."

"The empress dowager lured her, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to turn against her." Ji Liangruo said.

The three went to see Dongyue.Dongyue was locked in a cell, laying on the ground and still not waking up.

Qin Yunyao asked someone to splash water on her to wake her up. She opened her eyes, saw her environment and the people outside the cell clearly, and her eyes became resentful: "What do you want to do?"

"You are now a prisoner, and what you want to do is not up to the king!" Qin Yunyao said, "If you want to live and live well, do you know how to do it?"

"How to do it? Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't know!" Dongyue turned her head away.

Qin Yunwei lowered her head, unfolded the note, and turned it over for her to read: "What is written on it?"

She looked up and sneered: "Do you want me to join you? Then I would rather die!"

"What benefits can the Queen Mother give you?" Ji Liangruo asked.

"The Empress Dowager said, get rid of your chaotic parties and make the world peaceful, so you can make me a concubine..." She smiled wryly, "I know that her words may change, but there is hope. Going to you? It's a dead end!"

"This king can guarantee that you live a good life." Qin Yunyao said, "The imperial concubine can't do it, but she will be as rich as the imperial concubine, and more free than the imperial concubine!"

"Do you have the final say? I'm afraid you want Qin Yunhuang to open his mouth?" She snorted coldly, "The most unreliable person in the world is Qin Yunhuang! Once he conspired against him, he ran away by himself, and his mother, sisters, wife and children... didn't care about them all. They were all thrown in the imperial capital, and they all died tragically! If his close relatives are like this, what are we? If there is anything else, isn't there no bones left?"

Qin Yunyao was silent for a while.Qin Yunhuang also didn't expect the queen mother to be so ruthless and kill people directly. He naturally thought that if he ran away, his biological mother and fellow sisters would be imprisoned and used as hostages... Who knew...

Wait, she said "wife and child"?Didn't Wu Chunjun's mother and son go with Yunhuang, where did the wife and children come from?Could it be—Qin Yunyao stretched out his hand to hold the cell door: "What wife and child?"

"Princess Wu didn't leave?" Ji Liangruo asked anxiously.

Dongyue laughed: "Are you kidding me? Will there be only one woman for a man? But, I think the Second Prince must love Princess Wu very much. No one else will take her away, except her..."

"Second brother has a child left?" Qin Yunyao asked.

"A boy!" Dongyue said, "When he left, the child was still in his womb... If he was alive, would he be four years old?"

Ji Liangruo felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and left the cell, speechless for a long time.What hurts is not that such a young child was killed, after all, she already knew what happened to Yun Jia.The sad thing is...

"The Second Prince has a side concubine?" she asked Qin Yunyao.

"I haven't heard of it." Qin Yunyao said, "It's probably just serving the bed, so I shouldn't be given a title."

Ji Liangruo bit her lip and said, "I thought he loved Princess Wu very much."

He glanced at her and said with a smile: "I like it very much, but it doesn't prevent him from having other women?"

She was stunned, and looked at him suddenly: "But... Shouldn't one be single-minded in loving someone? He... I saw that he was so kind to Princess Wu, as if he couldn't hold a grain of sand..."

"When did you meet?"

"Just, on that day, I was pestered by the emperor's eldest grandson to serve Princess Wu's luncheon..."

When he thought of it, he felt a little pain when he thought of his mother dying in the sea of ​​fire not long ago.

"How do I know about their affairs?" He said after a while, "He treats the second sister-in-law very wholeheartedly. If the second sister-in-law hurts her hair, he will scold Shanhe angrily. But he is not only the second sister-in-law, this is a fact."

Ji Liangruo lowered his head, smelling the lifeless smell in the prison: "You men... can you tell the difference so clearly? Or is it natural to be fickle?"

He raised one foot and stepped on the ground. Mo Yan behind him paused for a moment and stopped when he found that the wheelchair couldn't be pushed.

As if Mo Yan and Qin Yunwei didn't exist, he looked up at her: "I'm not him. I don't know what he thinks, but I won't be like him. But I think, if the second sister-in-law won't let him do that, he probably won't That's what you did. After all, sometimes men do wrong things, and it's you women who do it yourself. "

Ji Liangruo couldn't understand after hearing this.When you love someone, you should be single-minded. To say such things is to shirk!She was not very happy in her heart, but he said "I will not be like him" was already a kind of promise, so she suppressed the sadness in her heart and stopped thinking about it.

After all, he was warning himself not to do evil!Otherwise, if he made a mistake, no one can blame him...

Go back along the road, go to the other end of the dungeon, and see the assassin locked in another cell.He sat in a corner with his head bowed, his messy hair hanging down over his face.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head, his eyes burning.

Qin Yunyao asked the guard at the door: "How is it?"

This assassin was very skilled, and he couldn't be left to fend for himself like Dongyue, so there were two guards guarding him.

"He refused to say anything, just sat there." The guard replied.

Suddenly, the assassin stood up, and following his movements, there was a rattling sound, and Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunwei saw thick iron chains on his hands and feet.The iron chain was embedded in the wall, and as he walked forward, the iron chain was slowly tightened, and when he took a step in front of the cell door, he could no longer move.

He tugged at his wrist, trying to reach out, but couldn't.

"Who are you?" Qin Yunyao asked him, "Who is afraid that you will come to assassinate me?"

"My sword..." He raised his head, his face was full of vicissitudes, his original handsome face could be seen under the sparse beard, "give me back the sword."

"A swordsman with a sword in his hand?" Qin Yunyao looked at him, "Actually, I admire you knights the most."

"Your father destroyed the entire green forest, the entire river and lake!" He stretched his hand, and the chain rattled.

Qin Yunyao frowned slightly, as if thinking of something: "I remember that Li Qingquan who robbed the prison was also a swordsman—"

He suddenly thought of the wooden pendant on his neck that originally belonged to Liangruo - "Liangruo Qingquan", which also had the word "Qingquan".

Hearing what he said, Liang Ruo suddenly remembered that the assassin asked her what her name was last night, and raised her head to look at him suspiciously.Could it be that she has any connection with him?He is an assassin!

Qin Yunyao shook his head and looked at the man locked up by four chains: "Want your sword? Then you'd better confess honestly, who sent you here!"
