Chapter 179: Night Exploration of the Heavenly Prison
Bai Qiqian knelt on the ground and stared at the vermilion door.
Eunuch Zhang, who was following Ye Liyuan, shook his head and said consolingly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has given an order today not to see anyone. So, My Majesty, please don't waste your time here. Please come back."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "Eunuch Zhang, I must see the emperor today."
Eunuch Zhang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please let me say one more word. If you come here because of Concubine Yun's affairs, it will be fruitless."
Bai Qiqian glanced at Eunuch Zhang gratefully: "Eunuch Zhang, thank you for your advice."
Bai Qiqian still knelt in front of the door without moving.
Eunuch Zhang sighed helplessly. In this harem, we have seen a lot of overt and covert fights, but we have never seen such a deep love between sisters.
When they heard that something had happened to Concubine Yun, people in the palace were afraid to avoid her, for fear that she would be involved in something and be dragged down. However, Princess Fuyao, who broke up the Zhang Kingdom, took the initiative to go to Tianlao to see Concubine Yun.
.
Such kind masters are rare now.
In the house, Ye Liyuan sat on the soft couch, pursed his lips tightly, and looked through the window at the figure kneeling on the ground.
Su Wanliang whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao and Concubine Yun have always had a good relationship. It is understandable that she pleads for Concubine Yun. Are you really unwilling to see her?"
Ye Liyuan said coldly: "I told you, I won't see you!"
The corners of Su Wanliang's mouth turned up slightly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Yun talks to Concubine Yao about everything. Maybe Concubine Yao knows something."
Ye Liyuan turned around, glanced at Su Wanliang, and said in a voice as cold as ice, "I always like your self-knowledge."
Su Wanliang immediately fell silent, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The door was never opened, but his eyes were always fixed on the man kneeling on the ground and never left.
Bai Qiqian's legs were a little numb, and she moved slightly.
Eunuch Zhang came forward again and said consolation: "Mother, you have seen that the emperor will not see you today, so you still have to give up. What's more, you are still pregnant with a child, even if you don't
Think about yourself, and you should also think about the child in your belly."
Bai Qiqian's body trembled slightly when she heard Eunuch Zhang mentioning the child in her belly.
He should always think about his children. Since Ye Liyuan didn't want to see him, he could only visit the prison at night.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiqian slowly stood up.
She knelt for a long time, her steps were sloppy, and she suddenly became unsteady on her feet.
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and supported Bai Qiqian: "Concubine Yao, please be more careful. Why don't you let me help you to Fangfei Hall?"
Bai Qiqian shook her head: "Eunuch Zhang, you serve the emperor, and I can go back by myself."
At this time, a father-in-law happened to come over and said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang, it's better for me to help Concubine Yao go back."
Eunuch Zhang's face was full of smiles: "In that case, I have to help Eunuch Qi."
Bai Qiqian also smiled at Eunuch Qi: "Thank you, Eunuch Qi, for helping me return to Fangfei Hall."
Eunuch Qi supported Bai Qiqian and walked towards Fangfei Hall: "Concubine Yao, serving you is what I should do. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for helping Young Master Xue and Princess Xianya leave last time."
Bai Qiqian was stunned and frowned slightly: "Eunuch Qi, are you..."
In her mind, she didn't remember such a number one person.
Eunuch Qi said with a smile: "I used to serve Young Master Chen. Young Master Chen often told me that I must remember the great kindness of the Queen. If there is any use for the old slave in the future, Princess Yao can just speak up."
When Bai Qiqian mentioned Gongzi Chen, he thought of this character.
Not far from Fangfei Hall, there is a palace, which is the palace where Nalan Xue lived. Before Nalan Xue left, his cousin Ye Chen moved into the palace on his behalf.
At that time, Ye Chen planned to replace Nalan Xue with a fake one.
Little did they know that Ye Jinjue had long known that Nalan Xue and Xian Ya were escaping from the palace.
However, after the incident, Ye Jinjue did not take the matter out on Ye Chen. He treated Ye Chen as a hostage and placed him under house arrest in the palace.
Ye Chen lived in seclusion in the palace, and Bai Qiqian saw him only a handful of times. But now that Eunuch Qi suddenly mentioned him, she had forgotten about him. Out of politeness, Bai Qiqian asked: "Eunuch Qi, how can Gongzi Chen now?"
Okay?"
Eunuch Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when the emperor ascended the throne, he sent Young Master Chen back to Xuangu Kingdom."
Bai Qiqian responded, then thought about her own thoughts.
After arriving at Fangfei Hall, he asked Ziyuan to reward Eunuch Qi with a few taels of silver, and then went into the house to rest.
In the evening, after Bai Qiqian coaxed Huanwan to sleep, she and Ziyuan both changed into night clothes and visited the prison at night.
Ziyuan carries the latest Ecstasy potion developed by Yue Palace. This drug is in liquid form and is easy to carry on the body. When you need to use it, you only need to use internal force to catalyze it to form a mist. Inhale a little and you will fall to the ground and wake up instantly.
.
Bai Qiqian and Ziyuan entered the prison easily.
When she found Yun Ran, Yun Ran had been tortured and her body was covered with whip wounds. She was delirious and kept talking nonsense.
Bai Qiqian applied medicine on her and fed her a few pills, and she felt much better.
Through the small opening in the wall, moonlight shone in. Yunran looked at Bai Qiqian's somewhat blurry face and smiled: "Fuyao, I asked for this all on my own. You don't have to take this risk for me."
Bai Qiqian narrowed her eyes and said angrily: "Yun Ran, Su Wanliang is basically framing you in this matter."
Yunran was stunned: "She framed me? I had no enmity with her in the past and now, why would she frame me?" Is it just because she had scolded her a few times?
Bai Qiqian frowned and said, "You never care about the affairs in the harem and can't threaten her, so I can't figure out why she wants to frame you."
Yunran shook his head: "I don't know either."
So Bai Qiqian expressed her doubts: "Yunran, Su Wanliang had already planned to frame you. It can be seen from the beginning when she proposed to let Cui Yanlin enter the palace once a month. I have some doubts.
,Why does Su Wanliang know about you so clearly?"
"Very few people know that Cui Yanlin and I had a relationship."
"Then this is a bit strange. Why does Su Wanliang know?"
"Is this a coincidence? However, to say it is a coincidence is too much." Yunran shook his head again, "Hongfu is Su Wanliang's personal maid. She knows Su Wanliang's secret. Logically speaking, Su Wanliang
Liang shouldn't drag her only relative into the water, wouldn't this force Hongfu to betray her?"
"In this way, she has long been interested in murdering Hongfu."
"Fuyao, Su Wanliang's scheming is so deep that it scares me." Yunran's body was shaking, but it caused pain all over his body.
Bai Qiqian looked at the scars on her body with murderous intent in her eyes: "These jailers are really heavy-handed."
Yun Ran said in a low voice: "Before the Emperor could convict me, these jailers lynched me first, completely ignoring my identity. I was really angry to death."
Bai Qiqian's eyes were fierce: "It's not like someone has secretly ordered them, otherwise they wouldn't have the courage."
Ziyuan interrupted and asked: "Empress Yun Fei, who have you offended? Why are you so deliberately trying to harm you?"
Bai Qiqian also said: "The person I offended was naturally Su Wanliang. I learned from Hong Fu that it was Su Wanliang who sent someone to frame you. It happened that the emperor happened to catch you and Cui Yanlin being intimate."
Yun Ran was silent for a long time, then raised his eyes and said, "Fuyao, I once told you that Cui Yanlin and I have no personal relationship."
After a pause, he explained: "I just want to talk to him."
Bai Qiqian sighed secretly: "Yunran, I reminded you not long ago that you should pay attention to your behavior and identity. Now, even if I believe you, it's of no use because I can't produce evidence. Even the Emperor
I saw with my own eyes that you behaved intimately and ambiguously with him."
Yun Ran sneered: "Being intimate and ambiguous in broad daylight, isn't this asking for death? Even if I am willing, Cui Yanlin is still afraid."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "I also think something must have happened during this period that caused the emperor to misunderstand."
Yunran thought for a while: "Cui Yanlin and I were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. Later, I don't know why, I found that my clothes were covered with many ants. Then I wanted to kill the ants, but the ants seemed to get worse and worse.
More and more came. Finally, I took off my outer garment."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "Maybe Ye Liyuan happened to see you take off your clothes."
How could things happen by such a coincidence and the timing was so precise?
An idea flashed in Bai Qiqian's mind: "Yunran, was there a maid standing next to you? Did she leave midway?"
Yunran looked at Bai Qiqian with some surprise: "Fuyao, how do you know? Cuiping stayed by my side to serve me at that time. During the trip, he left for a while to make tea for us."
Bai Qiqian smiled and said: "Yunran, this matter is a misunderstanding. After you make it clear to the emperor tomorrow, you can come out."
Yun Ran was startled: "How could the emperor easily believe that it was a misunderstanding when he saw that scene? What's more, I don't even know how to explain it myself."
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said: "Yunran, there was something wrong with the cup of tea you drank at that time. When Cuiping left in the middle, in addition to making a cup of tea for you, she should have also notified another maid and asked her to give it to you.
The emperor has tipped off the news. As long as you time it well, you can be framed very well."
Yunran said angrily: "I usually treat them well, but they..."
Bai Qiqian sneered: "People will be punished if they don't do it for themselves. You treat them well, but Su Wanliang has given them more benefits."
Yun Ran bit her lip and remained silent.
There was a stalemate in the atmosphere, and Bai Qiqian whispered: "Yunran, when you see the emperor tomorrow, you just need to find those two maids and confront them. Ziyuan and I will leave first to avoid being discovered."
