Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 127 The way she looks at you is unclear

When Nan Xi got excited, he said that he could die to prove his ambition. Queen Dugu immediately followed the trend and ordered someone to bring the knife up.

The palace maid held a square plate with an exquisite dagger placed on it. The handle was inlaid with gems. The almost semicircular blade arc was obviously not the standard of the Central Plains dagger, but something from the Western Regions used in the palace. It's so exquisite, even the daggers used to make people commit suicide are particularly exquisite.

Seeing the dagger coming up, Nan Xi couldn't believe it, but the dagger was brought in front of her.

Queen Dugu said: "Since you are willing to die to make your ambition clear, I can make it happen for you. After you die, I will tell the world for you that you are an innocent person and not a prostitute. I ordered the King of Jin to give you a generous burial."

Nanxi looked at the dagger in front of her and slowly raised her hand. Her mind was very confused and she was thinking about a lot of things. She unconsciously put her hand on the handle of the dagger.

Holding the dagger gently, he picked it up and swallowed unconsciously.

The Queen ordered you to die. If you don't die, you are disobeying the order.

Looking at the exquisite dagger in front of her, Nanxi couldn't help but recall her life.

She was born in a brothel, and her mother, Grandma Bolan, lived in a brothel when she was young. She has never heard her mother mention why she ended up in a brothel, and she doesn't know if she has any relatives at home, just like a rootless duckweed.

She didn't even know who her father was. Her mother never told her about it, so she guessed that Xu was an unintentional benefactor.

Growing up in a brothel, she has watched this prosperous brothel from behind the door since she was a child. There are many girls in a similar situation to her. In this era, there is no Xiao Du, so she can't guard against it.

If a boy is born, most of them will be taken away. As for the girls, they will grow up in the kitchen of the brothel.

When she was very young, she secretly looked at the bustling scene in front of her and found it novel when she saw her mother walking among the men.

The nuns in the brothel will select the best-qualified among them for training when they are seven or eight years old. They must learn to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only such girls can help her make a lot of money in the future.

Aunt Bolan went crazy and refused to let Nanxi learn these things. She knelt in front of the old nanny of the brothel and begged her. However, Nanxi herself seemed unaware of the difference between brothel girls and ordinary girls. She felt that there were not everyone around her. She is a brothel girl. She doesn't know what the outside world is like, but she demands to learn on her own.

She is a smart girl, and is talented in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has an excellent appearance. As she gets older, she has fascinated the young men just by playing the piano in a brothel.

Nanny Bolan knew that day would definitely come. Relying on the connections she had accumulated over the years, Nanny Bolan led a group of people to open Yunya Pavilion on her own to prevent Nanxi from being forced.

The common man was not guilty of carrying the jade. Nanxi's identity and her beauty finally made it impossible for her to hide behind her mother. She had no choice but to help Nanxi find a way to stun the benefactors. She knew If this happens, she may be totally devastated, but this is her daughter, her precious daughter.

My daughter doesn't seem to feel ashamed in a brothel. That's because she doesn't know what the normal world is like.

She didn't know what it was like for those girls who grew up in a noble family and were loved by their parents. She didn't know what her identity would mean to her in the future.

Until she met King Jin, everything changed.

Girls always see someone they like, but Nanxi is more innocent than others. Mother Bolan can tell at a glance. It was also that day when Nanxi began to hate her own identity.

How could her status be worthy of that His Highness?

Yang Guang jumped into the river to save her, but kept a sense of propriety and distance, which made her even more unable to extricate herself.

At this time, she was holding a dagger, a curved and sharp blade. If she swung the knife down, she would definitely die. There was no cure, but she felt that she could die for Yang Guang, so that her Highness, Prince Jin, would remember her. Well, young girls are always easily carried away.

He raised the dagger high and stabbed himself in the stomach with all his strength.

A hand suddenly appeared on her wrist, stopping her from committing suicide. It was Grandma Li.

Queen Dugu's voice came: "Today's young people are so impulsive. If they don't agree with each other, they will kill themselves to prove their innocence. I didn't expect that brothel prostitutes can be so violent."

Nan Xi, who was still alive after the disaster, was already in tears as soon as he let go of the dagger. He knelt and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Queen, for sparing my life. Thank you, Queen, for sparing my life."

"Look at your frightened look. If your blood spills all over the harem, my palace will have to be washed three or four times. Even if you really want to kill me, I won't be stupid enough to let you commit suicide here."

"Mama Li asked someone to pour her a cup of calming tea."

Nan Xi, who was just about to survive the disaster, was stunned again. He was given tea for no reason. Could it be poisonous tea?

Aunt Li went down to prepare tea, and Queen Dugu turned her attention to the Yun sisters.

"You two, I must have told you before when I ordered you to be thrown out of the palace, that you are not allowed to approach Prince Jin again, but you have the courage not to take my words to heart."

"The Queen, please forgive me. We two sisters only want to learn the art of musical instruments. We have no other purpose. Please be clear to the Queen."

"Where can't I learn musical instruments? Do I have to go to the Jin Prince's Mansion?"

Yun Qi ignored her sister's obstruction and said: "My eldest sister and my father have said that we two sisters should go to the East Palace to study, but...but, we feel that His Highness King Jin is an upright man, and it is better to be a musician in the palace of King Jin."

"Empress, my little sister speaks freely, I hope you won't be offended."

"East Palace..."

Queen Dugu looked at the two of them coldly, thinking about what she had just said, and it was obvious that she still meant something, and her eyes turned cold.

"He speaks without restraint and talks nonsense about the East Palace. If someone comes, he will slap his mouth for thirty years."

"Queen, we know we were wrong, we know we were wrong."

The two begged for mercy, but the old ladies in the palace were merciless and slapped them while they were held captive.

Nanxi watched the two of them being slapped repeatedly, with their mouths full of blood. She was too scared to speak. Yunrui Yunqi regretted not listening to King Jin about the matters in the East Palace.

After thirty slaps, their mouths were filled with blood. The whole world was dizzy, and they fell to the ground helplessly vomiting blood.

Looking at Nanxi in such a miserable state, he was frightened. "Kneel down."

Following Queen Dugu's voice, the two of them had no choice but to kneel down.

Queen Dugu asked sternly: "I ask you again why you want to go to Prince Jin's Mansion."

"A commoner girl... just wants to learn piano skills in Prince Jin's Mansion, learn... piano skills."

"Have you two seduced King Jin and done anything inappropriate?"

The two of them kowtowed with all their strength: "The two women of the people don't dare, they don't dare."

At this time, the eunuch trotted in: "Queen, Your Highness, Prince Jin, wants to see you."

Queen Dugu frowned in confusion, a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so out of breath today?"

"Let him wait outside the door."

Queen Dugu then interrogated the Yun family sisters: "Why do you Yun family daughters always get into trouble? Did Yun Dingxing instigate you to go to the Jin Palace?"

"No, Queen Mother, the two of us sisters have left home and have nothing to do with our eldest father and sister anymore."

"Oh? Can you two women still have such abilities?"

"Empress, the two of us sisters don't seek glory and wealth. We just want to be quiet musicians playing the piano and flute. We have no other aspirations."

At this time, Grandma Li had come back, holding a cup of tea in her hand and came to Nan Xi's side.

"Mother Li, is there anything added to the calming tea?"

Queen Dugu did not shy away from Nanxi when she asked this question, but asked very straightforwardly.

Mammy Li nodded.

Queen Dugu gently stroked her jade bracelet and said softly: "Prince Jin is already waiting at the door. After you drink this cup of soothing tea, you can go out to see him."

Nanxi looked at the cup of soothing tea in front of her. The tea in it was brown. She called it tea, but it was more like a decoction. She had no idea what Queen Dugu had put in it.

Nanxi hesitated for a while, picked up the tea cup, and drank it without caring about anything else. Now she only knew that Yang Guang was waiting for her outside. She was afraid of this place and wanted to run away quickly.

Seeing her reaction, Queen Dugu smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Get out."

Nan Xi, who was about to receive amnesty, bowed and followed the palace maid out.

Yang Guang was standing at the door. She wanted to walk over quickly, but she suppressed her thoughts and walked to Yang Guang with a normal gait: "Nan Xi, a civilian girl, is here to see His Highness the King of Jin."

Yang Guang looked around and saw that Nan Xi had no injuries on his body. Although he had cried, he had not been punished.

Aunt Li said: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come. The Queen is reviewing the matter. What should the Queen do when you come?"

Yang Guang naturally knew that he shouldn't come, but in the end he couldn't help coming.

When Nanny Li returned to the room, Yang Guang asked Nan Xi in a low voice: "Didn't the Queen Mother use torture?"

"I slapped the two girls of the Yun family." As soon as Nanxi said this, he immediately followed up: "The girls of the Yun family lied about His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Guang sighed helplessly. After all the instructions, he still went up.

After the meeting, the two girls from the Yun family also came out. Yang Guang could only feel helpless when he saw the two people who had been badly beaten.

Queen Dugu also walked out.

"I have carefully examined these women and ordered people to check them. The matters between the three women and Prince Jin are all lies. If anyone in the court makes false remarks about Prince Jin again, His Majesty will issue a decree to punish them."

"Thank you very much, mother. I will take my leave first."

Yang Guang left without saying much or asking questions. Queen Dugu narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched them leave.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Jin is really an upright man. The three women are all innocent. If I don't check it myself, I won't believe what others say."

"Innocent? How can you be innocent?"

Queen Dugu's eyes were deep but with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I checked it myself, and it will definitely not go wrong."

Queen Dugu lamented, turned around and walked into the house: "When Nanxi looked at Amo just now, the huge imperial city seemed like nothing in her eyes. She dared to commit suicide for Amo, and she didn't dare to drink unexplained tea. Dare, just the look in her eyes when she looked at Amo was unclear. It's a pity that she is a brothel girl and can't be on the stage."

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Jin is so outstanding."

"It is reasonable for my son to be better."

"By the way, go to the East Palace to pass on my oral instructions, and Gao Liangdi will go home to visit relatives for a while."

"This Yun family has too many things going on."
