After a long time, one of the secret guards whispered into the ear of another secret guard: "Brother, should we get him some rainwater to drink?" (here they are called secret guard A and secret guard B)
As soon as he finished speaking, Secret Guard B glared at Secret Guard A and shouted sternly: "Asshole, the master has said that you are not allowed to give food or water. Do you want to disobey the master's order? If the master finds out, I will definitely kill you." Take the head off".
Secret Guard A shrank his head, glanced at Secret Guard B, and couldn't help but feel guilty: "Really, am I afraid that he won't be able to hold on anymore and will die all of a sudden, and we won't be able to communicate with each other then?"
Secret Guard B raised his chin, his eyes darkened, and whispered: "Don't worry, he can't die. He is the world-famous God of War. I think when he regained the barbarian land, the commander-in-chief of Uge City stood firm and could not hold on. The attack lasted for two months. King Yu's troops were deprived of water and food, and the climate frequently changed suddenly. In such a tragic environment, he was able to persist for a month, not to mention that it was only more than a day, which was a trivial matter to him. Zhuang, don’t worry, he won’t die.”
The dark guard nodded and looked into the dungeon again. He saw Nangong Yu's fingers moving, and felt even more relieved.[
The words of the two secret guards were heard by Nangong Yu word for word. He raised the corners of his mouth forcefully with a sarcastic smile, thinking back to the time when the weather was cold and the ground was unbearably hungry, and he ate grass roots. Eating tree bark, sharing joys and sorrows, life and death with the soldiers, how can that kind of mood be compared to now? Now, my life and death are in the hands of others, like fish and meat at the mercy of others, living or dying, being locked up here In Dark Sky's dungeon, one could know that even if his people searched the palace, they might not be able to find him. What's more, Nangong Ling would definitely set up a dragnet and wait for his people to be caught.
He raised his neck slightly, only to wake up and feel a pain in his back, which made him almost faint. He had been injured on the battlefield before, but it was not as serious as this time. If he continued to wait, what awaited him would be There was only Nangong Ling's torture, so he would not give up what he had to fight for. So, enduring the pain with all his strength, he tried his best to move towards the corner, where a cockroach was sucking the liquid that had soaked from the wall. The water droplets did not notice the danger at all.
Suddenly, Nangong Yu blew a breath, and the cockroach ran away instantly. With the light of the torch outside the dungeon, he saw clearly that there was a small pit in front of him. Water dripped from the top of the dungeon, making the pit filled with rainwater. He Close your eyes, bring your face closer, and slowly suck it up.
The secret guard outside the dungeon only saw Nangong Yu waking up and moving in, but his back was turned to the secret guard, so the secret guard only saw him moving over and stayed still, so he ignored him.
In the Anchang Hall, Nangong Ning had just finished taking a bath. Her long hair was scattered around her shoulders, and she was wearing a white silk bathrobe that wrapped her Miaoman body. The heavy rain outside the hall had not stopped, so she did not go out again after returning to the Anchang Hall. After passing by, she leaned leisurely on the soft couch with her eyes closed and meditative. The palace maids on both sides gently massaged her shoulders and legs. There was a cauldron of incense burners placed on the red sandalwood round table next to her, and wisps of incense were scattered in every corner of the palace. Elegant and delicate fragrance.
The layout of the dormitory is antique and extremely luxurious. You can see precious ornaments, carved gallery columns, and a seven-foot long sword hanging next to the crimson gauze curtain. Although it is an ordinary It is a long sword, but it has a scabbard made of fine materials and a sword tassel made of gold thread. This shows how much Nangong Ning cherishes this sword.
At this moment, a young palace maid slowly approached the bedroom. When she saw Nangong Ning's eyes closed, she immediately hesitated. If she woke up the princess at this time, she would probably be taught a lesson. After thinking about it, she turned around and walked out. Go, but suddenly heard the princess say: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
The little palace maid was startled, turned around, saluted, and said respectfully: "Princess Qi, Concubine Yun has come to Anchang Hall and is outside the dormitory at this time. I wonder if the princess wants to see her?"
"What did you say?" Nangong Ning was shocked when he heard this. He sat up suddenly and waved away the palace maid massaging beside him, "Are you right? Are you sure it's Concubine Yun?"
The little palace maid trembled and fell to her knees, "Yes, princess, she is indeed Concubine Yun."
Nangong Ning shook her silk bathrobe, stood up slowly, and walked barefoot on the soft carpet. She was shocked and muttered to herself: "The Queen Mother hates her to the core. It stands to reason that Concubine Yun avoids me. It was too late, it was pouring outside, and she came here despite the rain, hiss, could it be that she had gone the wrong way? No, no, she was not so old that her eyes were dim, so what was that for?"
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Ning looked at the little palace maid, with sharp eyebrows and a touch of majesty, and said in a cold voice: "Let her wait for me in the main hall, and I will change my clothes and go over."
"Yes, princess".
After the little palace maid left the palace, Nangong Ning ordered someone to change into a sky blue palace dress with gold embroidery. She put on a little pink and white hair, tied up her hair, and inserted it full of gold hairpins and jade hairpins, and led the two The palace maid walked out of the bedroom.
When she came to the main hall and saw Concubine Yun, her eyes still flashed with surprise. Although there was a servant holding an umbrella for her, her palace clothes were still wet, her shoes were stained with mud, and the makeup on her face was a little stained. , even though the hair is tied up, it can still be seen that it is much fluffy.
Concubine Yun just smiled slightly when she saw Nangong Ning. Naturally, she saw the look of surprise in Nangong Ning's eyes. The princess was the queen mother's, so she should avoid it, but for Nangong Yu, she couldn't care so much. "If I come here at this time, I must have disturbed Chang Ning, right?"
Her face was gentle and her eyes were kind and kind, which was very different from the Concubine Yun she had seen in the past. Listening to her somewhat humble words, Nangong Ning was slightly startled, and then walked to the chair in the center of the hall, his eyes suspicious. "Confused", she raised her hand and told the maids on both sides, "Go and make a cup of ginseng tea to warm up Concubine Yun."
The palace maid left in response and soon brought two cups of ginseng tea. Concubine Yun still smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, princess."
"I wonder what the purpose of Concubine Yun's coming to my Anchang Palace today is?" Nangong Ning looked at Concubine Yun intently, burying the doubts in his eyes, and then asked in a cold voice. [
Concubine Yun elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of ginseng tea. When she heard Nangong Ning's question, she put down the teacup, sighed softly, with a sad look on her eyebrows, and said softly: "Although King Yu is not my wife, His own son, but I regard him as my own son. The news of my coming today will probably reach the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor soon. Therefore, I will not beat around the bush. I believe that the princess also knows that something happened to King Yu. Well, I just ask the princess to help King Yu."
Nangong Ning had just drank the ginseng tea. When she heard Concubine Yun's words again, she almost burst out, "Concubine Yun's words are wrong. In terms of power, the emperor and the queen mother are naturally the most powerful. Concubine Yun did not go to them, but instead If you come to see me, are you looking for the wrong person?"
"Princess should know that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are at odds with me. What's more, this matter is the attention of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to go to them?"
Nangong Ning was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother was involved in King Yu's matter. He immediately asked doubtfully: "The Queen Mother also knows about this"?
Concubine Yun nodded, pretending to be surprised and said: "This time it is the Queen Mother and the Emperor who conspired. What? Didn't the Queen Mother mention it to the princess?"
