Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 442 Duel (3)
Murong Lingyun stood there in a daze and watched Wanqing turn around resolutely, with a hint of helplessness and pain in his eyes, he murmured: "If you were willing to marry me back then, I would rather betray Dayong and stay in Dazhou forever... ..."

Behind him, King Shou came out from the shadows and looked at him worriedly: "Ah Yun, that woman's heart is like steel, forget it, why bother, there are too many good girls in Dayong, my father will marry you A agreeable one."

Murong Lingyun glanced at King Shou's hand on his shoulder, gave King Shou a cold look and said, "It's none of your business."

After finishing speaking, but striding away, King Shou sighed slightly, with a wry smile on his lips.

The next day, Yana'er packed things for Wanqing, and Wanqing looked at her blankly and said, "What... are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going back to the capital. Prince Yun has been waiting outside for a long time."

Wanqing's eyes darkened, she opened the door curtain and ran outside, Murong Lingyun was indeed outside the tent, Wanqing's eyes were clouded with tears: "Why? Why are you so stubborn?"

Murong Lingyun looked at her coldly and said: "Your husband is now the Marshal of Zhengbei University of Da Zhou, and you are a hostage of Dayong, why should I let you go?"

Wanqing looked at him in astonishment, after not seeing him all night, Murong Lingyun haggarded a lot, but there was no familiar affection in her eyes, only indifference and alienation.

That's fine, the simple relationship between the robber and the captive made Wanqing feel more at ease, as long as she did her part as a captive.

Yana'er came over to help Wanqing get into the carriage, and Wanqing also silently became an obedient prisoner. Recalling what Murong Lingyun said last night, Shangguan Yeli is now the Marshal of the Great Zhou, and she feels a little relieved that Ah Li can return to the battlefield It's much safer to go up than to stay by her side. As for her, she definitely won't let herself have a bad life.

But what she didn't expect was that on the second day when she arrived in Beijing, she saw Chiyan running into Wanqing's room with a sad face, and said with a mournful face, "That bastard, Ayun, took all the few seats I wanted. I went, my father said I was late."

Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, and her heart sank. From the barracks to Shangjing, she walked for half a month. For fifteen days, Yanaer served her carefully, but Murong Lingyun, who was with her, never came again. Talking to her a word, as if she and him are strangers, Wanqing will naturally not take the initiative to talk to him.

It's just that Murong Lingyun took over those mountains that may contain coal mines, how can he implement his plan?How can you rely on your ability to go back to Da Zhou in an upright manner?
Seeing her dejected expression, Chi Yan smiled and said, "You would rather do business with me than cooperate with Ah Yun, would you?"

"I'm just his prisoner." Wanqing replied coldly, turned around and walked into the house, once the door was closed, she shut Chiyan out.

The room Wanqing lived in was small, and the furnishings in the room were simple, except that one piece of utensils was fairly complete. Yanaer was also transferred back, and there was no one around to serve her. Can't ask for much.

Wanqing didn't hear what Chiyan was talking outside, but soon there was a knock on the door, and a deep and hoarse voice sounded majesticly outside: "Your Highness, the queen is calling you, you should go over quickly. "

Chi Yan frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "If I don't go, how can the queen mother let Mrs. Gu live here? She is not a maid in the palace?"

"Your Highness, this is the queen's will." The nanny's voice was calm and without any emotion.

"Okay, I'll go to see the queen mother, hey, I said the surname is Gu, I will help you, don't be afraid, the queen mother is a very kind person." Chi Yan said loudly outside.

Wanqing guessed that Chiyan had left, so she opened the door. Nanny Song was wearing a Hu clan's court attire, stepping on a flower pot, and looked down at Wanqing.

In fact, Dayong's palace attire is somewhat similar to the Qing Dynasty costume seen in Wanqing's previous life, except that the headgear is different, and the hair style is very similar to that of the Mongolian people. Nanny's status in the palace is not low, because she is wearing the earth blue down jacket she bought from Bayan.

"Mrs. Gu, the Queen has an invitation." Nanny Song said neither humble nor overbearing.

The queen of Dayong is in her fifties, a rather blessed old lady, sitting on a high chair, watching Wanqing slowly walking from the palace gate with indifferent eyes.

"You are Gu Wanqing?" the queen asked after examining Wanqing.

Wanqing saluted her, nodded, and looked directly at the old lady sitting on the high seat.

"I heard that you made the clothes on your body?" The queen's voice was flat, but not very strict, as if she was talking about family affairs.

Wanqing is very grateful to Bayan for his efficiency. Since she came here yesterday, she has noticed that many women in the palace are wearing the down jackets she made. Perhaps, this made the Queen Empress have a little curiosity and affection for her. Alright.

"It's Wanqing's blessing to be loved by the empress." Wanqing replied slightly with a blessing.

The queen was very satisfied with Wanqing's calmness and composure. There was a trace of love in her eyes, but her face was still light: "I heard from that child Ayun, originally, you were his first wife. It was a mistake, that's why you married someone else, is that so?"

Wanqing didn't expect that the queen's temper was so forthright, and she spoke so directly, she thought for a while and replied: "Mrs. Hui, since ancient times, a woman's marriage has been decided by her parents. Wanqing only knows to obey her parents' wishes when she gets married. I don't know anything else about the Jingninghou Mansion."

A smile finally appeared on the queen's well-maintained face: "You are really different, as a prisoner, but you don't have a trace of cowardice. In fact, the reason why you are so bold and fearless is because of Ah Yun's treatment of you. feelings?"

Wanqing was shocked when she heard that, she lowered her eyes and didn't raise her eyes, for fear that the Queen Mother would see the panic and shame in her eyes. She was obviously an ordinary-looking old lady with a not-so-aggressive manner, but Wanqing was in Dayong. In front of the Queen, she was even more nervous than in front of the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Queen's eyes, which looked like mulberry, had the wisdom to see through everything. It seemed that women who could get into the present position in the deep palace, no matter if they were Han, They are still of a different race, they are all equally great roles, and she cannot be ignored at all.
