Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 234: Surprised by the Underground Palace (4)
Li Qingze's reason to report to the emperor was very simple, he just said nostalgia and stayed for a few more days.But Fengyu was the son-in-law chosen overnight by the emperor for Huanghua. He was a cowardly young man, and the poor country made him unable to stand up forever.When he knew that the emperor had chosen him, he threw himself on his knees and prayed in joy. You must know that the dowry of Princess Huanghua can double the size of his country, and the 60 gold and silver, Fengyu may I have never seen so much money in my life.He was knocked out by a pie falling from the sky.

So, Xue Shu lived in the imperial palace, and now she lives in the "Yonghua Palace", which is not considered the palace of the emperor's harem, but close to the Xuanhe Hall where the emperor went to court, and belongs to a palace connected to the harem, where the emperor goes to court. When slightly tired, often rest there.He didn't know why he arranged Xueshu there.

But since that day, Xueshu has not seen the emperor again.She was not under house arrest, nor was she isolated, she could even move around the palace at will, and everyone in the palace hid away when they saw her.There was disdain in his eyes, but there was also fear.You know, at this moment, she is "showing off her might" in the harem, walking sideways, and the emperor doesn't care.Everyone can see that the emperor treats her differently.

During the day, Xueshu wandered around the palace with eyesight and boldness, no one cared about her, she went wherever she thought of, the emperor's former concubines seemed to disappear overnight, and she didn't meet any of them in the huge harem. arrive.But one day, she accidentally walked to a remote place, a ruined lotus pond, and the surrounding smell smelled bad, and Xueshu knew that this was the place where the harem servants were.So, without thinking about it, she turned and left.

A sudden cry startled her.

She dodged to the side and stuck against a wall, and the voice from inside was intermittent, "Queen mother, what should I do? Father gave me to the prince of a small country, but he is cowardly and useless, he It's just because of my dowry..."

This was obviously the voice of Princess Huanghua.

Xueshu looked up, saw the plaque on the gate of the courtyard, and knew that it was the place where the harem poured slops to clean the toilet, Xueshu suddenly realized.Could it be that the emperor sent the queen here to clean the toilets for the whole palace?Xueshu opened her mouth wide in shock.

"My poor child, do you know what happened to your prince brother?" The queen also hugged Huanghua and cried together.

"The elder brother of the prince has long been imprisoned by the emperor, and now I am afraid..."

The queen cried out in grief, "It's the Yun Zhongjun who suffered a thousand knives, he made your prince brother suffer, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have..."

"Mother, what the hell is going on? Why did the prince brother find Yuxi all of a sudden..."

"This is not that hateful Yan Xuejiao. She once overheard Yun Zhongjun and his subordinates muttering that Master Tianshi's Qianji Mansion was burned, and the jade seal was actually hidden in his study... by your prince brother People looked for it, and they found it. You know, that person is the remains of Emperor Jing. When Emperor Jing died, Eunuch Li said that he saw Emperor Jing hand over the jade seal to that woman. The top ten secret guards around Emperor Jing Let her leave... So, your prince brother got the jade seal and didn't suspect it was a fake at all, and didn't think..." Afterwards, the queen cried and gritted her teeth angrily.

"Queen, do you know that Princess Qing of the Duke of Meng is now living in the palace, and the emperor promised her... the position in the future."

Xueshu's heart skipped a beat, no one else should know about this, right?How did Huanghua know about it?She didn't even tell Shizi Yan about the conversation with the emperor that night. Sure enough, secrets can't be hidden in the palace, and the walls have ears.

"Hmph, that damned woman, what kind of Princess Qing is she? She is obviously the daughter of that vixen, and she is Yan Xueshu! However, if the emperor wants to marry her, that's really... Hahahaha, everyone is crazy, everyone is crazy Oh, she used to be your seventh brother's side concubine, and now she is promised to Master Tianshi... Hahaha, I'm afraid Yan Shouju can't believe it even if he dies. The emperor won't get his wife, but instead bullies his daughter. I don't know, will you vomit blood in distress?" The queen cried and laughed frantically, with a look of glee and grief.

Hearing this, Xue Shu turned around and left without hesitation.

In less than ten days, Xueshu searched the entire palace regardless of day and night, but she did not find Meng Juoran, not even a trace of clues.Her heart couldn't help but despair, did she guess wrong?He wasn't in the palace at all?But why, in my heart, I am so persistent in thinking that he is within close proximity of her!Xueshu was confused.

She knew very well that for so many days, the emperor let her wander around and rummage through her, without any interference or hindrance, just trying to grind her temper and make her give up, he wanted her to beg him.

And the price paid for this request, Xueshu understands very well.

But now she is really desperate, she can't find him.

Xue Shu huddled under the Langfang of the lotus pond. The scenery in front of her was beautiful, but she looked haggard.

Ji Wuye walked over with a steady pace, looked at her, his eyes were a little darker, and he pursed his mouth and did not speak.He had nothing to do with this woman, but he couldn't let her go completely.He knew all her actions in the palace, but the more she behaved, the more regretful he felt.Why, the person she is so attached to is no longer him?
Xueshu slowly raised her head, her red eyes were full of tears, "I can't find him." As she spoke, weak tears slid down, Ji Wuye's heart ached, and she turned to face the lotus pond.

"Maybe there's another place you haven't looked for." He hesitated.

"Where is it?" Xueshu suddenly jumped up from the ground, immediately full of energy.

"Imperial Palace and Underground Palace." Ji Wuye spit out quietly, "I'm just guessing, because that place was secretly built by Gongsun Ban, and there are many institutions. It's a place for serious criminals..." What he didn't say was that the people who entered that place, None of them came out alive.

"Thank you." Xueshu turned around and ran away with a joyful voice.

Ji Wuye closed his eyes deeply, and a ray of sadness permeated his whole body, lingering.

Originally, she wanted to find Gongsunling, but she turned around the corner of the palace and saw Gongsunling walking slowly in the palace with her head drooping, presumably she was looking for Princess Huanghua but couldn't find it.Xue Shu couldn't help but wonder, Gongsun Ban is also considered as the Queen's distant cousin, now that the Queen's prince is out of power, I haven't seen how Gongsun Ban has fallen out of favor, it can be seen that Gongsun Ling can still walk freely in the palace.

"Gongsun Ling, I want to talk to you." Xueshu suddenly blocked her way and said in a cold voice.

Gongsun Ling looked up at her, there was neither sadness nor joy, nor disdain in her eyes, only ashes, "Hmph," she snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"I couldn't find him in the palace at all. I heard that he was imprisoned in the underground palace. Jincheng also said that his life would be better than death." Xue Shu's faint voice did not reveal any eagerness, just like she and Meng Meng. Jue Ran no longer has any relationship.
