Playful Queen

Chapter 71

"Niang Niang, Xi'er is really happy for you." Xi'er was the first to speak.

"Happy for me?" Mengli looked at the two smiling faces in puzzlement, becoming more and more curious.

Qiu Shui, who held up the cloud bun for Mengli, said with a smile: "Last night, the news that the emperor carried his empress back to the Hall of Fengyi has spread throughout the palace. Everyone said that the empress must start to be favored. I am happy for the master."

Meng Li's face froze, what did Qiu Shui say?
"Yesterday, my servants were waiting outside the door, worrying about being afraid. I never thought that the emperor would suddenly come out with his mother in his arms. Look at the servants. At that time, the emperor was holding his mother as carefully as if he was holding a treasure. He also told us not to come out. The sound woke up your mother." Xi'er also excitedly told what she saw last night, and she is still very moved. "It's a pity that the empress fell asleep at the time, or she might faint happily."

Still fainted happily?When she heard this, she should have fainted in shock!
Mengli's small face sank, she never believed that Zi Yechen would do this, but, it sounded like it was really him, or she couldn't have walked back to Fengyi Palace by sleepwalking, right? Even if this Zi Yechen has such a little conscience, he knows that she waited so hard for the order yesterday...

By the way, where is the order she wants?
"Niang Niang, because you fell asleep last night, before the emperor left, he ordered his servants to give it to you." Piaoxue took out a golden token from his waist, and handed it to Mengli respectfully.

Mengli took the token, raised her eyebrows lightly, it seemed that Zi Yechen was still keeping her promise, thinking about it, she called out casually: "Biaoyue..."

"Your Majesty, Haoyue asked for leave this morning and went home."

How could she have forgotten, these days are the bright moon, yesterday she said that she wanted to ask for leave, but she allowed it herself, why did she forget, "Xi'er, go and help me prepare some food and wine and put them in a basket. I will eat them later." After breakfast, I’m going to the Heavenly Prison.”

"Yes," Xi'er nodded, while Piaoxue went to Zhang Luo to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, he walked out of the Hall of Fengyi, and found that Xiao Quanzi was already standing outside the hall, waiting with a chariot behind him. When Xiao Quanzi saw the queen, he immediately went up to him and said respectfully, "My servant sees the empress, and the emperor speaks , this servant is waiting here, and will take the Empress to the Heavenly Prison."

Although Mengli didn't know Zi Yechen's purpose, she nodded. Anyway, someone was taking her there, so it was easy for her, "Then I'll let Grandpa Quan lead the way." Then, with the support of Xi'er, she walked into the carriage, Xiao Quanzi raised his hand, and the group headed towards the palace gate.

In the dungeon, the cold wind blows from the entrance of the corridor, making people feel creepy. Concubine Rong did not receive special treatment because of her status as the emperor's concubine. Like all prisoners, she was placed in an airtight cell. It was pitch black on all sides, and occasionally the sound of rats creaking and crawling could be heard.

After entering the cell where Concubine Rong was imprisoned and took the basket from Xi'er, Meng Li signaled for Xiao Quanzi and Xi'er to go out, seeing Concubine Rong in white prison clothes leaning against the wall with disheveled hair , sitting quietly, like a discarded and spoiled porcelain doll, the once pampered empress had never received such treatment, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and walked quickly to Rong Rong's side.

Concubine Rong came back to her senses, raised her head and saw that it was Meng Li, she was surprised for a moment, and smiled coldly, "Did you come to see my joke?"

Mengli didn't speak, but put down the basket in her hand and brought out the prepared meal.

"I don't need your pity! Go back." Concubine Rong's tone was cold, and her face no longer showed any expression.

Mengli still didn't take it seriously, as if she didn't hear it, she continued to arrange the food, and handed the chopsticks to Concubine Rong.

With a slap, Rong Pin angrily threw Meng Li away, and scolded: "You are enough, what do you want to do?!"

"Why did you plead guilty?" Mengli's cold voice sounded in the dark space, and a pair of bright eyes stared at Rong Pin.

Concubine Rong leaned against the cold wall and said expressionlessly: "I did this in the first place, so of course I have to plead guilty."

"Really?" Mengli gave Rong Pin a cold look, and said coldly: "When death is imminent, you still have to keep the person behind it secret, and you can be regarded as a heroine."

"I don't know what you said, isn't it death?"

"Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. Naturally, I don't think you will tell who that person is. I am here today to tell you that I will continue to investigate this matter until it is clear." Meng Li With firm eyes, he looked down at Concubine Rong.

"Don't be so persistent!" Concubine Rong actually laughed. She didn't realize until this moment that the queen was different from those women in the harem. In fact, she gave herself a chance that day, but she missed it. Thinking about it now It's useless, "Thank you for your kindness, the matter has been settled, it's all my fault, my fault."

Her smile is beautiful, even though she is in such a mess at the moment, she is still so charming, maybe only the one who smiles with an open heart is truly beautiful.

Concubine Rong stood up slowly, looked at Mengli, and said slowly: "Don't investigate any further, you can't afford to offend the people behind it, since I have already taken the blame, all this will pass, Empress Empress , The harem is a tiring place, and now I am tired of fighting, tired of fighting, want to rest, think about nothing..." This is the first time she called Queen Mengli today, as if it sounded like It was the last time, the voice was so ethereal, so far away...

In the Hundred Gardens, there are indeed hundreds of flowers blooming, and thousands of trees are overgrown.

In the sea of ​​flowers, Mengli is leaning on a soft chair, her small face is as white as jade, her eyebrows are pink and black, her upturned nose is small and cute, her lips are like petals, she has a simple cloud bun, a long snow-white skirt, surrounded by green flowers. The lotus, the whole person is elegant and fresh, like a lotus that has just bloomed in the lotus pond.

She held a cup of tea in her slender suet-like hand, pursed her lips lightly, took a sip of the tea, raised her eyes slightly to look at Concubine Li, she was wearing a light pink cloud-smoked sweater, purple palace satin plain snow silk cloud-shaped The water skirt highlights the slender figure, and the hair is combed in a hibiscus bun, which is charming and gorgeous.

Today she will come here because of the appointment of Concubine Li. I remember that a few days ago when she went to Fengyi Hall, she said that she wanted her court lady to play a song for her. She had already rejected it at that time. Today, she invited the little eunuch to invite her. It is said that she has practiced a piece of music these few days, and it is not easy for Mengli to refuse this time.

But as soon as she arrived, she hadn't even sat down in the chair and drank half a cup of tea, when she saw Zi Yechen walking towards her, wearing a bright yellow brocade dragon robe, his face was like a crown Flawless as jade, black hair tied up with a golden crown, dark eyes, burning and compelling, carrying a majesty of a king that cannot be ignored, domineering, this time he was going to Fengyi Hall to find his queen, why? On the way, he heard her in Baihuayuan, so Duowei walked towards here.
