My wife has a secret

Chapter 94 The Princess's Little Secret
Lianhua Jun is the Queen Mother's spokesperson in the palace. He is usually cautious in his words and actions and rarely reveals his emotions.

Seeing Xu Qing's sudden concern, his heart moved slightly and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Young Master, please go to the bedroom next door with Lianhua. Lianhua has already ordered people to clean it up."

"it is good."

Xu Qing didn't say anything more. This was the Queen Mother's territory, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all up to her to arrange.

Moreover, he did not see any other female officials wearing futou hats in this bedroom. All the palace maids who appeared in the palace would bow to him and perform great etiquette.

This may indicate that Lianhua Jun has a very high status in the harem.

Xu Qing and Lian Huajun walked for half an incense stick of time before they reached the bedroom that the other party mentioned "next door".

Although it is next door, it is not adjacent to the Empress Dowager's residence. There is still a very long corridor and imperial garden between the two.

The decoration inside the bedroom was indeed gorgeous and exquisite, but Xu Qing had already seen Feishuang Hall, Changsheng Hall and the Queen Mother's bedroom today, and was immune to these uniquely shaped furniture reliefs made of rare wood.

"Young Master, please rest in this hall. Lianhua has contacted the commander of the Imperial Guards, Shi Chen, and asked him to keep watch outside the hall for your safety."

When Xu Qing and Lian Huajun arrived at the entrance of the palace, they noticed that the torches outside were bright and several imperial guards were walking towards the periphery with torches in their hands.

He originally thought that they were patrolling imperial guards, but he didn't expect that so many people were there to protect him.

"it is good."

"Lianhua, take your leave."

After Lord Lianhua finished speaking, he bowed, closed the door, and left the bedroom.

Having finally finished his trip, Xu Qing sat on the rocking chair at hand and sank his whole body into the soft cushion of the chair.

An inexplicable tiredness surged into his head, almost taking over the clarity of his mind.

But Xu Qing still shook his head, forcing himself to stay awake.

Leaving aside the doubts about the Empress Dowager, Xu Qing got to know his four wives and concubines again through this gentle aunt.

All four wives and concubines have problems, and they can be ranked in order of severity as the fourth wife, the first wife, the third wife, and the second wife.

If you want a peaceful life in the future, these problems must be solved one by one.

Lu's illness and the potential risks of the second house were not things that could be dealt with by just talking, so Xu Qing wanted to wait until he woke up tomorrow and visit the Shen Mansion first.

As for the matter of Princess Danyang, Xu Qing didn't take it to heart. He just needed to deal with it later.

Given the other party's extremely sensitive status now, the marriage with me is probably over.

After thinking about these things, Xu Qing got up, took off his coat, and went to bed on the bed covered with bedding.

The night is as cool as water and everything is silent.

……

Water drops dripped from the tips of the stalactites, hitting the uneven ground and splashing water.

The severe winter cold, coupled with the dampness and chill in the cave, was enough to penetrate the mink cloak and chill it to the bone.

Lianhuajun appeared here wearing his iconic bun hat, holding a torch, and stopped halfway.

Behind her followed two of the empress dowager's personal soldiers. The two burly men were supporting Empress Gongsun, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and a phoenix crown and bridal robe.

"cold……"

After a night of ups and downs, Empress Gongsun's spirit was completely worn out and she was at the mercy of others.

The gorgeous and exquisite queen's dress that she was so proud of was dragged into muddy tatters, and the makeup on her face was in tatters, losing the look she had when she first left Changle Palace.

Now, because of the severe cold in the cave, Empress Gongsun's graceful body was trembling and shivering under her dress. "We are almost there."

Lianhua Jun comforted her and continued to step deeper.

Even though Empress Gongsun was extremely reluctant, she was still supported by the two people beside her and walked forward, forcing her to quicken her pace to prevent her boots from being dragged and scratched.

No one here cares about her feelings anymore, and the actions are extremely brutal and rough.

Deep in the cave, there was a heavy, muffled click, like the sound of a heavy door opening.

Empress Gongsun thought that after passing through this door, she would reach a cell in a secret dungeon, but as soon as she followed Lord Lianhua in, she realized that something was wrong.

The walls between the cages were equipped with lampstands, which were brightly lit.

The prisoners in these cells are also very special. They are almost all young women, with no men at all.

"here……"

Empress Gongsun shuddered all over and clenched her fists involuntarily. Her nails almost pierced through her soft palms, causing blood to seep out.

She used this method to stay awake and observe whether the structure and layout here was the same as the legendary place.

"You... brought me to the princess's residence?"

Seeing that Lord Lianhua did not respond, Empress Gongsun seemed to realize something.

Her voice trembled slightly, and she begged in tears: "I am the heir of a country, and my status is respected. I am not someone you can play with... Oh, where is Queen Mother Xu? I want to see her!"

The women in the cages on both sides seemed to be accustomed to the sight of the newcomers howling hysterically in pain. They stared straight ahead with numb eyes and had no interest in it at all.

Lianhua Jun did not stay any longer, but took her deeper inside and came to an empty stone chamber with a torch hanging high.

There was a naturally formed flat rock with a soft cushion on it, on which sat a graceful girl with a beautiful face.

There was a sweet shyness on her face. If we ignore the surrounding environment, I'm afraid everyone would think that this girl has a kind, pure and bright nature.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Sister Gongsun."

The girl was half lying on the fluffy mat, covered with a warm coat, with her legs casually crossed.

Her legs were slender, her bare feet were like fresh spring water, and her soft skin was white with a rosy glow, like the shyness of a blooming peach blossom.

As the toes gently tapped, the girl's lying body swayed as if following some rhythm.

"you……"

When Empress Gongsun saw that the person in the stone chamber was just as she had expected, she subconsciously wanted to escape from there, but after a night of mental exhaustion, she no longer had much strength to escape.

"The Queen asked you to take charge of her for three days, and then give her to someone important."

Lianhua Jun's tone was flat, as if he was stating an ordinary little thing.

And no one would have thought that the future fate of the former owner of Changle Palace would be decided by just two simple sentences.

"Great! Three days is enough time for Jin'er to teach her to be a good dog."

Princess Danyang spoke in a brisk voice, blinking her lively eyes.

The smile on her face was like eating a piece of honey, her red lips and white teeth were extremely beautiful.

After explaining this matter, Lord Lianhua had no plan to stay in this cave for long. He turned around and walked out of the stone chamber with his personal soldiers and left the place.

Empress Gongsun, who was lying on the ground, raised her head with all her strength. Her phoenix crown had fallen to one side, and her hair was disheveled, and she no longer looked noble at all.

"Jin'er...let me go, save me..."
