Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 30 Questioning
Along the old narrow path, Que Ruoyu followed Su Gonggong closely.The high palace walls gave her a gloomy and majestic feeling, which made her feel cold.It is precisely because of this impenetrable city wall that so many young lives were buried.

She lowered her head, her eyes were cold.She has always been a person who yearns for freedom, how can she stay in this cage that locks up the youth of countless people?
Soon, Eunuch Su took her outside the gate of Weiyang Palace.She stopped and looked at the majestic palace gate. There were two phoenixes facing the sky above the palace gate.In Que Ruoyu's eyes, these two phoenixes facing the sky are not just decorations in the empress's palace.They symbolize a kind of power, a kind of high glory.

When Eunuch Su stepped into Weiyang Palace, the arrogance of his whole body was gone.He became flattering and respectful.He led Que Ruoyu quickly towards the main hall of Weiyang Palace.He bowed, lowered his head, and then lowered his voice, "Empress, this is the person you asked the servant to bring."
Que Ruoyu lowered her head and remained calm.

The Empress took a covered teacup with floral flowers, blew on it lightly, and took a sip unhurriedly.

After a long time, Que Ruoyu did not wait for the Queen's next words.She looked at the incomparably dignified and magnificent Weiyang Palace, and at the neat and generous furnishings inside the palace.Everything here is unusually magnificent, as if exuding a kind of tolerance.

She sighed, and raised her head, which had been lowered all the time, slightly.A grandly dressed queen appeared in her eyes, but her narrow eyebrows made her appear scheming.The queen's position, the person on the position, always needs to be dignified and dignified.Although today's queen has her appearance, she has never got her essence.

"You are Que Ruoyu?" She put down the tea bowl in her hand and glanced casually.

Que Ruoyu said respectfully, "Go back to the empress, she is a slave." Her voice was extremely gentle, like the melodious cry of a hundred spirits.

She walked down from the seat slowly, and the servant beside her hurriedly put on the mink fur for her, she stretched out her hands casually, and the servant retreated.

Que Ruoyu sneered in his heart, this is really a feudal country.Noble blood gives people supreme power.A person who is a master can wear the best silk and use the most delicious treasures.She can also dispatch others, and hold other people's lives in her hands.This is the injustice bred in this era.

And she never took these feudal dynastic systems seriously.

The queen walked with dignified steps, with her head held high.Isn't this kind of behavior telling everyone that she is the most honorable person in the entire harem?However, all that she possessed was still in vain.The fate of these women has always been in the hands of the men who came before them.

Que Ruoyu looked at her, and asked calmly and respectfully, "I don't know what the empress is asking for her servants to come here?" She was too unwilling, but she understood her situation at the moment.She kept her body humble and polite.These high-ranking women probably prefer her bowing her head.

The queen circled around her, looking at her with interest.She said softly, "What do you think I am looking for you for?" Her gaze fell on Que Ruoyu in a daze, looking extremely majestic.As soon as she said this, it frightened the courageous people beside her.

With a bang, the maid holding the pot dropped the pot in fright because of the empress' anger just now.Hot water hit her delicate hands.In an instant, it turned red.However, the first thing the court lady did was to kneel down.

"Empress, forgive me, empress, forgive me!" One after another, voices of apology echoed in the palace.

The queen frowned, "You bastard, you can't do this well. Get the hell out of here with me." The servants were even more terrified when they heard the queen's furious voice.All of them lowered their heads and exited Weiyang Palace in a panic.

Que Ruoyu witnessed all this and remained silent.

After all, she is not qualified to speak here.

"Que Ruoyu, aren't you afraid?" The queen's arrogant words rang in her ears.The phoenix robe on her body called her unparalleled in the world.She is the tallest woman in the whole palace.All servants who see her should surrender.

A smile flickered at the corner of Que Ruoyu's mouth. Did this woman want to show her off by doing this?
Ridiculous, ridiculous? !

She raised her head with piercing eyes, "The Empress Suwen is dignified and virtuous, with clear rewards and punishments. The servant girl came here without any fault, so how could she be afraid of the empress? If the queen insists on making the servant girl admit that she is afraid, then the servant girl thinks, that is also awe. .” As she spoke, she bowed her head slightly, like a queen.

"Kneel down!" The queen, who was originally smiling, suddenly became furious after hearing Que Ruoyu's words.She looked fiercely at the woman on the ground who was not afraid of her at all, "You! You used your sharp mouth to seduce the prince, right?! Say, yes or no!"
Because everyone had already left, the queen's harsh voice suddenly came from above the empty hall, which really made people feel frightened.Even, for a moment, it made people feel suffocated.Que Ruoyu understood in her heart, thinking that the empress was worried that she would charm the prince.

At this time, no matter what, she had to put aside her relationship with the prince.Besides, she has nothing to do with the same arrogant and domineering prince.She lowered her head, showing a panicked expression on purpose, "The Empress is well aware that the slaves did not seduce His Highness the Crown Prince."
She spoke in a humble tone, and in order to make her performance more realistic, she trembled all over.

The queen's expression was a little suspicious, "These days, His Royal Highness has come to you frequently, what is the reason for? What kind of ecstasy soup did you, a vicious child, pour him into?" Her subsequent words became very harsh.Especially when talking about the word Humeizi.Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress hated Concubine Qing from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, whenever the term Humeizi was mentioned, she would unconsciously think of that woman Qing Guifei.

Que Ruoyu saw the noble woman's gaffe, she lowered her head, and said earnestly and full of grievances, "The Empress, please trust your servant, how can a humble servant be able to seduce the prince? A few days ago, the prince found Numaid, just to thank Numaid for saving her before."
Everyone knew that the prince Quan Xiaoli fell into the water that day, and the person who saved him was Que Ruoyu.And that day, it happened that Que Ruoyu was passing through this foolish princess.However, she has no memory of that day.

However, Quan Xiaoli did say... that day, she saved him.

When the queen heard this, her face softened a little from her anger.

"Hmph! I think so too. How could he like a servant of your status. From this point of view, I'm overthinking." She said quietly, but she always felt that something was wrong.Because of this, she looked at Que Ruoyu twice more.

Worn cotton clothes, thin figure.Only the face is still visible.

"In this case, you can go down." The queen came here recently, but she was sleepy.After a while, I felt like taking a nap.

In this winter, the cold wind is blowing.Only this kind of master who constantly exploits the lower classes can think of sleeping in a house burning with hot carbon.But they don't know how many poor people in the city are hugging together to keep warm? !
Sure enough, rich wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Que Ruoyu keeps her head down all the time, but it doesn't mean she will always keep her head down.In this palace, she can only get what she wants if she keeps climbing to the top.Only then can she be free.As a modern person, she will not be succumbed to this system.If you don't come to this era, everything is easy to say.However, since she came, she couldn't always be a lamb at the slaughter.

She can be regarded as a mixed bag in the cold palace.However, the biggest person in the cold palace is that Nanny Su.Seeing Su's appearance, there is no possibility of promotion anymore.Where does she stay.Without the slightest future...why not...

She bowed her head with a pleasant expression. "Empress, if you are worried that I will seduce the prince, let me stay by your side. In this way, you don't have to worry about coming to me often. Also, there is one thing... I don't know if I should say it or not. "She did a lot of acting, a little tearful man played it perfectly.

The queen felt a little sleepy, and heard her talking about the prince again.Interest came, I was already sleeping on the bed, and I opened my eyes slightly. "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me and listen to me."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes here on weekdays. He often comes to find his servants, saying that he wants to repay the kindness for saving him that day. Moreover, he also wants to give me his personal jade pendant." Que Ruoyu added embellishments, but of course the arrogant prince did not Have done such a thing.The reason why he chose to do this was because he wanted to stay by the queen's side.

Being a maid by the queen's side, there is still the possibility of rising.If you stay in the cold palace, you may never have a chance for the rest of your life.In addition, the crown prince and the queen never chatted about her little servant.

Moreover, the queen who has always been arrogant will definitely not think that she is lying.

The queen thought about it, remembering what the prince had done to Que Ruoyu before.It confirmed her statement even more.

"Absurd! It's simply absurd! He actually wants to give something that his father gave him to a court lady?!" The queen trembled with anger, "It's simply too impertinent for him to do so!"
Que Ruoyu said anxiously, "The crown prince insists on this, but the servant girl knows that the prince's things are absolutely unacceptable. So, she repeatedly declined. However, the servant girl never thought that the prince would find the servant girl again and again. The servant girl... ..." She tried her best to show the state that she wanted to avoid Quan Xiaoli, but was pressed by Quan Xiaoli everywhere.

"Okay, why didn't you tell me about this earlier. Besides, did you accept the jade pendant that His Highness the Crown Prince gave you?" She asked with a cold face, and there was a slight chill around her.
