Chapter 289 Cold-Blooded Reptiles (2)
Zheng Jun raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his eyes were gloomy: "If the matter of this time is done, we, the supervisor of ceremonies, may not really have a chance to turn around."

He hoped that in his lifetime, he could see the Supervisor of Rituals return to the center of imperial power, instead of always being excluded.

Chen He's expression changed unpredictably, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Whatever the governor decides, his subordinates will follow to the death."

He paused, then asked again: "The Empress Dowager Lafayette will soon ask us for a statement, how should we answer it?"

Zheng Jun pondered for a moment: "Report directly to Lafayette, Qiu Ye's white mouth is hard, and she can't pry it open."

Chen He nodded: "Yes, what if Lafayette wants to use torture?"

Zheng Jun thought for a while: "Then use some skin wounds, don't make people useless and disabled, the Eighth Highness said, he wants to keep this person, this person is in our hands, and His Highness still has to give it to us." .”

The Supervisor of Ceremonies has all sorts of bizarre punishments, so it's not difficult to put on a scary look.

Chen He looked a little strange: "Grand Du, how on earth did Qiu Yebai get involved with these big shots? These days, Mrs. Du in the Qiu Mansion sent people to say hello, and I can still understand it. People from the prince say hello, people from Mingguang Palace say hello, and even people from the other side of the temple come to say hello, so don’t make things too difficult for Qiu Yebai before the big trial.”

When Zheng Jun heard this, an indescribable gleam flashed in his slender eyes, and then he chuckled unpredictably: "This can be regarded as a skill, but people are in our hands. It's embarrassing, it's not embarrassing how to define it, it's us thing, you say it is not."

Yongning Palace

Zheng Jun kneeled respectfully on the floor of the apse of Yongning Palace, lowered his eyes, looking at the blue-gold marble floor, as if a flower could bloom on it.

Ever since he said that sentence - "Go back to Lafayette, it's the slaves who are useless. The mouth of that surnamed Qiu is very hard. He has been locked up for two days and refused to utter a word." After that, he has knelt here for a long time An hour.

Dong Momo looked at him, and sighed secretly in her heart, the dignified second-rank supervisor of ceremonies, no one in the palace dares to offend easily, even if he is outside, he controls the prison in his hand, and he is also someone the courtiers will not offend at will , but in front of the Queen Mother Lafayette is still - a dog.

The Empress Dowager Lafayette sat cross-legged quietly in front of an exquisite white jade Guanyin statue, twirling the rosary in her hand, closing her eyes, muttering something in her mouth, and opened her eyes after a long time, and said lightly: "Little Zhengzi, how many years have you been with the Ai family?" gone?"

Zheng Jun said respectfully: "It has been more than 25 years since I returned to the Empress Dowager, since I was lucky enough to be with the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother snorted lightly: "It's been more than 25 years, and it's been more than [-] years since I sent you to the Prison of Rituals. You're getting old, and you're becoming more and more useless. You can't get a yellow-mouthed kid out of trial, huh?" ?”

Zheng Jun knocked his head three times on the ground: "The servant is terrified, Lafayette, please punish me."

Seeing the appearance of her colleagues who had worked together in the same palace for many years, Madam Dong couldn't bear it, and wanted to ask for mercy, but she understood her master's temperament better, so it's okay if she doesn't speak up, if it's not the right time to speak up, it's troublesome More.

The queen mother, Lafayette, waved her hand: "Forget it, it's late today, tomorrow you go and bring people over, Ai's family wants to see, what kind of three-headed and six-armed figure is Qiu Yebai, who can be remembered by so many people, Lian Su That child should tell Aijia not to embarrass him too much, ha ha."

Although the Queen Mother was smiling, everyone could see the aura in her smile.

That kind of chill, even Zheng Jun couldn't help shivering slightly.

In the confinement room, Qiu Yebai was sitting by the window thinking.

She felt that there seemed to be no connection between the Palace of Mantra and Bailichu, but Qiu Yebai didn't know why she suddenly thought of Palace of Mantra.

Maybe it's because the relationship between the Mantra Palace and the Imperial Palace is too close, and Bailichu is such a "princess", coupled with the weird, mysterious and bloody way of training dark killers, it makes her feel and believe in extreme extremes sensitively. The Mantra Palace of Tantric Buddhism is inextricably linked.

Akiba Bai simply took a rice pole and drew simple graphics and writing on the ground to help him think.

She suddenly thought about the rumors about Bailichu, including when she was a child, she was seriously injured when she was rescued and left the palace to recuperate. She was taken back to the palace at the age of 13 because the emperor missed her daughter. If calculated according to time, what Bailichu said lasted as long as ten years Could it be that he was sent out of the palace when he was three years old in the 'ten years' without light?
Qiu Yebai thought for a long time, and felt that there were many details in this place that were wrong and could not be connected.

She suddenly thought of Yuanze again. If she discarded all the unreasonable speculations about the prefix and just said that even if Bailichu was really sent to the Palace of Mantra, had he ever seen Yuanze?

Such similar two faces... Could it be that they are really brothers?

But Yuan Ze wouldn't lie to her, he said he didn't have any brothers!
Yuanze's pure eyes flashed in his mind again, and that night a few months ago, on the boat, he mentioned the incense ceremony in the Palace of Mantra... Yuanze and Bailichu are so similar but completely different. The face flashed before her eyes, which made her feel irritated for no reason.

Qiu Yebai looked at the messy lines and words on the ground, but she still didn't have a clue. The feeling of boredom in her heart gradually increased, and something seemed to come out, so she suddenly couldn't help stretching out her feet and kicking the messy ground. those graphic texts.

Forget it, don't think about it, Bailichu came in and belittled her, said a lot of specious things and left, but she had to worry here for a long time.

She simply closed her eyes, turned around, and turned her back to the gorgeous Night Pearl Terrace—sleeping.

Perhaps it was because she had exhausted too much physical and mental energy in the past two days, so she fell asleep very quickly.

The day after Akihaba was captured as the most wanted man in the empire ended in a mess.

On the third day, Qiu Yebai woke up. Although it was still dark everywhere, she felt that her life in confinement was not bad. No one came in to interrogate her. The shortage, that is, being unable to bathe in hot weather, made her feel a little depressed.

But fortunately, this confinement room is not known where it is built, it is not too stuffy, and there is still a cool air at night.

Moreover, Bailichu prepared a set of clothes for her. Although she couldn't take a bath, she simply wiped her neck and body with some water on the torn clothes, which made her feel a bit chilly.

Feeling the moist coolness coming from his chest, which relieved the heat and stickiness, Qiu Yebai squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and was about to wipe his neck and shoulders again, but suddenly felt a cold touch from the shoulders that had not been wiped. The cold chill made her shiver.
