Chapter 529: The Best of Both Worlds
When Yang woke up again, he was immediately startled.
She was obviously sleeping in the room just now, how could she appear in this cold and hard place? It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, but there seemed to be countless holes around her that blew through the wind, and she was cold. When you touch your hand, there are still sticks of different thicknesses under your body, as if it is a firewood house?
Yang opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Someone, someone!" Helpβ"
"If you make trouble again, beware of cutting out your tongue!" Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the side, faintly like the voice of a female ghost. Yang almost fainted on the spot, and his heart was about to jump out, but he couldn't scream when he was so frightened that he covered his mouth and trembled for a long time, and it was easy to speak.
"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? What do you want to do? Yang desperately stepped back, trying to stay away. But the surrounding black drums in the middle of winter couldn't see clearly, and the hand was pushed behind him, and the severe pain came from the cold, and the hand was pressed on the thin stick, piercing the flesh. When I sucked it on my lips, I suddenly smelled fishy and salty, and it seemed that I had seen blood.
How can you ever suffer like this? Yang became more and more frightened, there was no way to hide, there was no way to avoid, she only felt that the female ghost was in front of her, and she might pounce at any time, and she immediately howled in fright.
"Woo woo, don't come here...... Wronged, wronged has a head debtor, I didn't, I didn't kill anyone, you go to someone else......"
"I ask you to answer, if there is a word that is not true, I will cut off your left hand first, and then your right hand, and if you lie or conceal it three times, you will wait until tomorrow you will be found hanging at the gate of the city." The female ghost's cold voice revealed a strong murderous intent, as if as long as the Yang family was careless, she would die a miserable death.
Although he was very scared, this was something that Yang also heard, and the other party was only afraid that it was not a female ghost, but that he had the heart to ask her for news. It's just that...... This method is too terrifying, cutting off her hands at every turn, and threatening to hang her, Yang is not only not relieved, but feels even more terrifying.
"Don't, don't kill me, I, I'll say anything......" The Yang family didn't want to be cut off and hanged again, otherwise he was afraid of falling into the reputation of committing suicide in fear of crime, and he wouldn't be able to enter the ancestral hall of the Su family if he died.
After a pause, the female voice came: "Who instructed you to ask Liu Dongren to buy winter clothes?" β
You want to ask about it? Yang's heart jumped, and she suddenly felt bad, this has always been her most nervous thing, for fear that the whole family will be implicated and her life will not be guaranteed, tomorrow she is going to go to Dali Temple to retract her confession, and bite the princess of Chu, Luo Qingluan, why was she taken away tonight, and she wanted to ask about it?
Who sent it?
But this thought only flashed in Yang's mind, and before she could think about whether to tell the truth or lie, she felt a sudden pain in her shoulder, as if she had been hit by some small hard object, and her tears were about to flow out of the pain.
"Warn you, think clearly, if you lie, your left hand will be gone."
With a bang, the crisp sound of drawing the sword sounded, although the Yang family had never danced a sword or played a sword, but when her father-in-law Wei Yanghou was there, he liked to practice swords every morning, so she had heard this sound before, and she was very familiar with it.
A piece of snow flashed in front of her eyes, it was the brilliance of the faint moonlight reflected on the sword's body, but at this time, it verified the other party's threat more and more: if she lied, the other party was afraid that she would really cut off one of her hands on the spot.
I didn't think about how the other party judged whether she was lying or the truth, Yang's eyes widened, and his heart was about to jump out, so he hurriedly said: "I said, I said, no one instructed me, I went by myself, myself!" By the way, yes, it was my mother-in-law who suggested that I find someone to buy a batch of cheap winter clothes and replace my own, so that I could make a little difference from it, so I went to Boss Liu and bought 10,000 winter clothes. β
Yang's 1510 didn't dare to lie at all.
The other party even knows Boss Liu's name, which is absolutely clear, if she lies or conceals half of it, I'm afraid she will be unlucky.
After a moment of silence, the female voice sounded again: "Does the queen know about this?" What did she say? β
"Queen...... Ah Yi she ...... She ...... "Yang Shi was just a little stunned, for fear that the other party would be impatient, and immediately said: "Ah Yi, she didn't know about this at all, and later it was Lord Zheng of Dali Temple who brought someone to the Hou Mansion to investigate this matter, and asked me to explain the situation, maybe this matter only reached Ah Yi's ears." β
Thinking of what happened recently, Yang took the initiative to say without waiting for the voice to ask: "Ah Yi didn't send anyone to ask, and I didn't have a chance to enter the palace, after all, I don't want to involve Ah Yi, she is the queen, I can't let this matter affect her." It's just that this matter is so big, even if I don't say it, Ah Yi should know. β
"You think you're hiding it?" The female voice sneered: "Even if you don't say it, Your Majesty will tell Niangniang, Niangniang has a mother like you, it is really moldy for eight lifetimes." Mrs. Sue, are you embarrassed? β
Yang stalks, more and more feel that this woman is full of hatred for her, not a ghost at all, but a living person. But who, or who sent it, she couldn't guess at all.
Now that he has fallen into the hands of the other party, what kind of treatment he will receive, Yang can't guess at all, so he can only honestly shut up, and his heart is worried.
"Tomorrow, are you planning to go to Dali Temple again?" Suddenly, the woman's voice was cold, and Yang almost screamed when she heard it.
"You...... How do you know? Yang blurted out.
What answered her was a sound of breaking the air, and the other party didn't speak at all, and directly slashed with a sword. Yang saw that the bright sword light directly clicked, and there was a cracking sound in the darkness, and with a bang, the air waves rolled in, and the frightened Yang suddenly covered his eyes, only feeling that he was going to die.
"Ahh The moonlight shone in through the breach, and a long shadow faced her, walking towards her step by step.
The moonlight shone on the back of the man, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell from his body that it was the female voice who had just spoken. It's just that now her actions are very scary, with a sword in her hand, she walks towards Yang, as if she is about to cut off her hand.
Could it be that just asking a rhetorical question caused the other party's killing intent?
Yang regretted not being at the beginning, but desperately retreated, but leaned on the pyre and couldn't retreat, the woman raised the long sword, Yang almost collapsed, and finally screamed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I said, say ......"
"It was Her Royal Highness the Princess who asked me to go to Dali Temple tomorrow to testify that Princess Chu instructed me to deliberately buy inferior goods and sell shoddy soldiers......" Under the intense fear, the Yang family forgot everything and said everything.
After finishing speaking, Yang stared at the black shadow, seeing that she was motionless, the anxiety in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he almost fainted. The cold wind kept pouring in from the breach in the firewood room, mixed with scattered snowflakes, and she shivered from the cold, crying bitterly.
After waiting for a while, the black shadow turned around and left, and just when Yang was in shock, not knowing whether to leave or stay where he was, something was thrown in from the hole in the firewood room, and it was directly covered on Yang's head, startling her.
After struggling for a long time, Yang Shi knew that the other party actually threw a quilt in, and the black shadow did not carry any popularity, so she was honestly staying here and not allowed to leave, and then went to Dali Temple at dawn, only let her tell the truth, otherwise she would look good, and then left.
All night, Yang didn't dare to move at all, so he could only desperately wrap the only quilt to keep out the cold, and he was frightened and scared until dawn.
When it was dawn, someone found her and rescued Yang from the firewood room, Yang was frozen all night, and he was afraid all night, and when he came out, he didn't know which poor man's firewood house he was nesting in all night, and his whole body was stinking. But she remembered what happened last night, and she didn't dare to go back to the Weiyang Hou Mansion at all, so she ran directly towards Dali Temple.
But the woman who came out of the Yang family, seeing her messy face was blue and black, and the six gods were wrapped in a tattered quilt, and she thought she was a madman from somewhere, and she didn't dare to chase her when she thought she was unlucky, and just scolded and scolded a few words.
When the Yang family went to Dali Temple, she originally planned to bite Luo Qingluan, but after being frightened by last night's incident, where did she dare to lie, and after seeing Zheng Puguang, she told everything
What princess sent someone to her mansion, how and how, let her bite the princess of Chu, the Yang family was afraid that Zheng Puguang would not believe it, and asked him to take someone to her room in the Hou Mansion, saying that the letter sent by the princess was still in the box on the dresser, and it was evidence at a glance. By the time Zheng Puguang sent someone to bring the letter back, Yang had already changed his clothes, and he was a little calmer, but the matter had come to this, and she simply said it all.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and implicated the princess, Zheng Puguang did not dare to be careless, and immediately wrote down the truth to Nangong Qing, and decided to continue the investigation according to the holy will.
When Nangong Qing received Zheng Puguang's excerpt, he was immediately furious when he saw it. Just as he was about to summon Nangong Wan'er to inquire about the situation, the palace people said that Princess Chu had sent a letter about the military quartermaster case.
Luo Qingluan sent the letter at this time, it must be an urgent matter, Nangong Qing opened it and looked at it, but he was very surprised.
It is related to Nangong Wan'er, Nangong Qing also has a headache, and now, how can he understand what happened to him. Originally, Luo Qingluan wanted to help the Marquis of Weiyang, but he didn't expect to be intervened by his sister, a good thing turned into a bad thing, and thousands of soldiers were frostbitten, ruining Nalan Ye's plan to kill the enemy.
It's not the first time Nangong Wan'er has done this, if it's jealousy between girls, make a little joke, Nangong Qing won't mind too much. didn't expect Nangong Wan'er to be so nonsense, and dare to attack military supplies for his own selfishness, he had to be ruthless and clean her up.
It's just that, looking at Luo Qingluan's letter, Nangong Qing sprouted a glimmer of hope again.
If Luo Qingluan had a way to give him the best of both worlds, in fact, Nangong Qing would be reluctant to be ruthless to Nangong Wan'er. Even if he doesn't look at the love between brothers and sisters, he must think about his mother's love for her daughter.
Nangong Qing decided to go to the Chu Palace, in person, and ask Luo Qingluan.
β¦β¦
Looking at Nangong Qing, who was dressed in micro-clothes, Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, but did not come forward to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty, I should have saluted, but I am unwell for a while, please forgive Your Majesty......"
"It's okay." Where would Nangong Qing mind this.
In the flower hall, there were only Nangong Qing and Luo Qingluan, and Dai Yue also retreated after serving tea, and there were only the two of them quietly.
After a pause, Nangong Qing still took the initiative to say: "Princess Chu said in the letter that she would not let me punish the princess severely, but what is the reason?" In his opinion, his sister did this, and Luo Qingluan didn't take the opportunity to clean her up for the sake of his own face, but how could he not be severely punished? I don't know what Luo Qingluan thinks, Nangong Qing really wants to hear her opinion.
After taking a sip of freshly brewed red date tea, Luo Qingluan smiled slightly: "Actually, the princess has done such a big wrong thing, no matter how much Your Majesty punishes her, it is useless." After all, the princess is not guilty of a capital crime, no matter how much His Majesty punishes her, it will only cause the princess to rebel, and it will be even more nonsense in the future. The princess's temperament has been decided, His Majesty wants to correct it, but I'm afraid that he will also have a weak heart, since this is the case, it is better to think of a way, not only not to hurt the princess, but also to completely solve the troubles, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? β
