commoner pretty detective

Chapter 259
Gong Ziling hesitated for a while, and said apologetically, "Duoyun, can you bear with me for another night? I was too disrespectful to her at the banquet today. Tomorrow, my mother and I will talk about it calmly. If she still can't understand me, I can't care about her."

"What do you want to do?" Wu Yan asked alertly.

Before Gong Ziling could answer, a servant came to the firewood room and bowed to Gong Ziling.Gong Ziling got up and came to him, the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then the servant withdrew.Gong Ziling returned to the door of the firewood room, and said to Wu Yan: "Duoyun, there is something very important, I have to deal with it, and I will be back soon."

"You go, don't worry about me."

Not long after Gong Ziling left, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from far and approaching, and hesitatingly walked to the door.The footsteps disappeared, Wu Yan listened attentively, and it took a long time before she heard a light knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Wu Yan asked.

"It's me." It was Yueyao's voice, "I'm very angry with you today, no, I'm angry with you two. You lied to me, and Gong Ziling slapped me in public. I wanted to Expose your lies in front of the queen mother and let her scold you, but I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious."

"It's okay. Even if you don't tell me, the Queen Mother will find out, it's just that you know it sooner or later." Wu Yan comforted Yueyao.

"It's my fault, I apologize to you." Yueyao's voice was quite regretful, "Okay, I won't say much, I'll go and make the Queen Mother happy. Maybe she will let you go as soon as she is happy."

Outside the door was the sound of Yueyao's hurriedly fleeing footsteps.

Wu Yan smiled slightly, this Princess Yueyao is quite cute.

There is a faint aroma lingering in the nose, but I can't tell what it is.Probably the fragrance of the flowers outside the window, I vaguely remember that there were a few flowers on the way here.There was a small window above the firewood room, Wu Yan stood in front of the window, looking out of the window indifferently.

Sure enough, there were a few flower trees outside the window. The branches were crowded with tiny white flowers, but they couldn't name them.Looking at it, Wu Yan only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and her consciousness was getting more and more distant, and finally she couldn't help but fell asleep leaning on the woodpile.In the dimness, it seemed that Gong Ziling was saying: "She is indeed a spy, thanks to my trust in her, I let her stay by my side all the time."

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Yan woke up leisurely.When he opened his eyes, all he could see was the dark stone roof.Wu Yan was startled, what kind of place is this?One thing she can be sure of is that this is definitely not a woodshed.

He sat up abruptly and looked around.She was sitting on a stone bed, and there was a stone table in front of the bed. The candlestick on the table was burning with an oil lamp, which flickered on and off and gave off a dim yellow light.The light was too weak, projected onto the surrounding stone walls, as if absorbed by the stone walls immediately, making the room appear deeper and deeper.

There is only this bed and a table in the room, nothing else, making the room look very empty.She was clearly in the woodshed before going to bed, how could she be in this strange place after waking up?This place is full of stones up, down, left, and right. It looks very solid, and the furnishings are simple, almost like a prison cell.Thinking of this, Gong Ziling's words suddenly rang in her ears, and Wu Yan broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that he put her in prison as a spy?
