food queen

Chapter 684 Aftermath! (1)
Xu Jin, Minister of the Household Department, watched with his own eyes that those large boxes of jewels worth tens of millions of taels of silver were counted and cataloged one by one, and then carefully carried into the treasury for safekeeping.Then he sighed deeply: "It's a pity that jewelry can't be used directly, and we have to find a way to replace it with silver."

"Master Xu! Please be content! If this is really exchanged for silver, it will take days and nights just to carry it! We must not be exhausted to death!" A subordinate officer next to him said with a smile.

"Hmph..." Xu Jin also laughed muffledly, pointing at the subordinate officer next to him, and sighed: "You are still tired of moving money, really... At this time last year, Luo Tongjiang was still asking us for money! Urgent My dear! I really want to jump into the lake!"

"Now it's Luo Tongjiang's turn to jump into the lake!" The subordinate officer next to him laughed.

"What kind of lake did he jump in! It would be best to jump directly into the Jinhe River!" another subordinate officer snorted coldly.

"It's a pity that His Majesty didn't sentence him to death!" Xu Jin shook her head helplessly, "Prisoner for life... What do you think he is doing for a person like him!"

"Oh, Mr. Xu, this is not something we can worry about!"

"What you're talking about is that the next thing we have to worry about is turning these things into silver. Only silver can be used to pay military salaries and salaries!" Xu Jin sighed leisurely.

"Master Xu, I heard that Shao Juanwen is not on the list of Zhan Lijue? What's going on?"

"The result of the trial is naturally Ling Chi, but His Majesty was kind and handed him over to the National Medical Center. It is said that the National Medical Center deeply anesthetized him and that ghostly hand, and dismembered them without them knowing." Xu Jin shook his head and said .

"Limb...removed?" The subordinate officer next to him was puzzled for a moment.

"Dismemberment means dividing their bodies into individual parts and soaking them in the special potion of the National Medical Center, so as to teach and train those apprentice medical officers and medical girls." Xu Jin explained to her subordinates in a good-tempered manner.

"Uh..." The subordinate officer suddenly felt his stomach churning.

In July of the 14th year of Qingping, the case of the queen being framed was completely closed.

The main criminals, Shao Juanwen, Gu Ningshuang, and the accomplice Ghost Hand were all executed, but at Han Qian's request, Shao Junwen's Ling Chi was replaced with that of Ghost Hand, who was dismembered by the medical officers of the National Medical Center under deep anesthesia. Make a contribution to Dayunchao's medical career by soaking it with medicine.Gu Ningshuang, on the other hand, was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice with other prisoners, waiting to be executed by Qiu Hou.

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the female prisoner's cell.Gu Ningshuang leaned against the corner of the wall in a gray prison uniform with disheveled hair.

The sound of footsteps and voices came from the passage again, and Gu Ningshuang could tell with her eyes closed that it must be some important person coming, and the jailer was guiding him in respectfully.It's just that the voice stopped when he was in front of him. The jailer opened the iron door of the cell, bowed and said, "Master Wang, please. The younger one will leave first, and you will call me when you have something to do."

"Okay, thank you very much." Wang Yunling nodded slightly.

Gu Ningshuang opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Wang Yunling in a dark blue plain silk shirt standing in front of her. His figure was taller and taller than before. Perhaps it was because of the superior, but his demeanor was different from before. He used to be Yushu Lin Feng is gentle and elegant, but now he has a kind of detachment that looks down on the world.

"Ningshuang." Wang Yunling put the red sandalwood food box in his hand on the dirty table.

Gu Ningshuang also stood up slowly, looked at Wang Yunling, and asked lightly: "It's really surprising that Mr. Wang can come to see me, a criminal woman."

"Sit down." Wang Yunling pointed to the wooden pier next to the table, "I have something to talk to you about."

Gu Ningshuang watched Wang Yunling take out four delicate side dishes from the exquisite food box and arrange them, as well as a jug and two wine cups.After hesitating for a while, he sat down opposite Wang Yunling.

Wang Yunling took the jug and poured her a glass of wine, then picked up his own glass and drank the wine in silence.

Gu Ningshuang sat there motionless, neither talking nor drinking.

Wang Yunling drank three glasses of wine in a row, Fang looked up at Gu Ningshuang: "That time in Jeju, we met at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, do you remember?"

"I don't remember." Gu Ningshuang said lightly.

"Now, do you still need to tell lies to me?" Wang Yunling sneered.

"Now, do you still need to talk nonsense to me?" Gu Ningshuang asked back.

"Okay, then let's stop talking nonsense." Wang Yunling drank another glass of wine, looked into Gu Ningshuang's eyes, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Gu Ningshuang pursed her lips forcefully, but did not speak.

"Gu Ningshuang, do you regret it?" Wang Yunling asked again.

Gu Ningshuang still didn't speak, but she lowered her head slowly.

Do you regret it?In fact, she already regretted it.At that time, when she met Wang Yunling at the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Jeju, she deeply regretted it.

I think she gave up on him and that beautiful relationship back then, and wanted to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman. She was obsessed with that high glory for the sake of the family.But it never occurred to him that he was on a road of no return.But the poor student in front of her who she looked down upon has become the youngest cabinet elder, a first-rank official.

If I knew this earlier, why bother!But what's the point of talking about it now?Gu Ningshuang's heart was in a mess, like a mess stuck in her heart, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Ningshuang." Wang Yunling glanced at Gu Ningshuang again, frowned and shook his head, "Actually, I don't want you to use this name. You know that your current appearance is like a nightmare to me. I'd rather you follow the queen's orders in the world. A nun who practiced in Se'an! I would rather you die in that fire than sit here with this face in front of me in this prison."

Gu Ningshuang smiled helplessly: "I don't care about this matter. However, I wonder why you still come to see me? Are you here to ridicule me and see how unbearable I am after rejecting you? Then you get your wish gone."

"I hate you." Wang Yunling said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe..." Gu Ningshuang suddenly laughed.

"I hate you! I hate you!" Wang Yunling raised his hand and slammed the wine glass against the wall. The porcelain made a crisp sound when it hit the stone wall, and the broken porcelain fell one after another.

"My lord? My lord!" the jailer yelled while running over to check what happened.

"It's okay." Wang Yunling said coldly.

"Oh, good, good." The jailer glanced at the convict woman and elder Ge who were still sitting on both sides of the small table, nodded, turned and left.

"Why do you hate me? Hate that I didn't choose you?" Gu Ningshuang asked in a low voice after laughing enough.

"I hate you for ruining the person in my heart." Wang Yunling slowly closed his eyes.
