The drizzle is like silk, pattering, and continuous.
Yanyan's cold was almost gone. She leaned against the window and stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops. Thinking of that day with Qi Feng, when they stood side by side, they also stretched out their hands to catch the raindrops. A warmth surged in her heart.
Recently, I often think about what happened with him. Although he often goes against her, he always protects her.
There was the sound of footsteps. Just as Yanyan was about to turn around, he felt someone covering his nose with a handkerchief. Then his vision went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.
Waking up in a daze, Yanyan tried hard to open his eyes, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. He vaguely felt that there were several figures standing quietly in front of him. After a long time, he finally got used to the darkness in front of him.
When he looked up, he saw a graceful and noble woman sitting at the table, with a eunuch and several palace maids standing beside her. The room was dimly lit and the atmosphere was gloomy.
She recognized this woman, she was the noble lady who was in the imperial garden that day, the prince's mother, and the current empress.
"Your Majesty, this is the palace maid!" The eunuch next to her bent down to salute her, pointing with one hand at Yan Yan who was kneeling on the ground. In the dark room, the peripheral vision of his eyes made Yan Yan feel that he could not see clearly.
She just felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. At this time, she had no idea what was going on. But the only thing that was certain was that it was definitely not good.
Looking at this formation, a chill ran through her heart. She had only seen it in TV dramas, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She didn't know when she had offended a powerful queen.
She hurriedly saluted and said, "I would like to pay homage to the Queen."
"Do you recognize me?" The queen stood up, walked to her, and said coldly, "Raise your head and let me take a look!"
Yanyan had no choice but to raise her head and look straight at the queen. Although she was a very beautiful woman, her whole body exuded nobility. However, when she was caught in this unnamed ghost place, and it was obvious that she was captured by this noble queen.
When I was brought to this place, I immediately made a big cross in my heart for this queen. She was neither a concubine competing with her, nor someone who had offended her, so how could she be targeted by her?
"She is a pretty girl. Are you the maid who was brought back to the palace by the seventh prince, Xia Yanyan?" She smiled very touchingly, but her voice was so cold that it made Yanyan's heart tremble.
Yanyan met her eyes and nodded.
"Where are you from?"
Three simple words, but they sounded so heavy. She didn't know how to answer. She traveled to this dynasty and entered the palace inexplicably. But how should she answer where she came from?
"What are you asking me? Why don't you get it from the truth?" the eunuch next to her yelled at her in a sinister voice, with a sinister smile on his face and a cruel look in his eyes.
Yanyan rolled her eyes at him. She usually hated those eunuchs and palace maids who showed off their power just because of their master's status when watching TV. Now when she saw the eunuch shouting at her, Yanyan felt dizzy and her heart was filled with confusion.
A feeling of nausea.
"Back to the empress, I have been wandering around since I was a child. I have lived a life where I am neither a human nor a ghost and I am able to live until now. As for where my hometown is, I really don't remember it." Yan Yan had to make up a random one.
He came up with a reason to excuse himself, and as he spoke, he looked like he was mourning, with a hint of pain in the corners of his eyes.
The dark room suddenly became quiet. Yan Yan secretly looked at the queen sitting on the phoenix chair with the corner of his eye, and saw her staring straight at him. Yan Yan hurriedly looked away, the queen's eyes made her a little worried.
Surprised. Since she was brought to a dark room like this, I would definitely not ask her where she was from.
Yan Fang couldn't help but cry out in her heart. She had never interacted with the queen, except that time she met her once in the imperial garden, and she was still in the dark. She couldn't remember when she had offended her, or how she suddenly offended her.
She is an old man. If you think about it, since she is growing in a place where she cannot see the light, I am afraid that she will be in bad luck this time.
The queen's expression suddenly turned ferocious. She slammed the table and asked sternly: "You were recruited by me honestly. Why did you sneak into the palace? Was it Brother Seven who trained you? How much have you learned?
I want you to seduce the prince? Tell me!"
Being slapped by the Queen, Yan Yan, who was stuck in his memories, was first shocked, then dumbfounded, with shock on his face. Ridiculous! This misunderstanding has gone too far. Was he being trained by the seventh prince? To seduce the prince?
Could it be that her old lady is sitting around with nothing to do every day, looking for trouble for other people, and this is her fault?
"Queen, please don't misunderstand me. The seventh elder brother kindly took me in as a maid in Yuyang Palace because he saw the slave wandering outside. The slave has never been trained by the seventh elder brother. Moreover, I will definitely
I absolutely did not seduce the prince. I can swear to God that I have never been trained by anyone to seduce others." Yan Yan felt that he was going crazy. No one in this palace was a good person, but he still didn't know why.
What happened was that he offended the head of the harem - the empress - for no reason.
"You have a foxy look, and you do obscene things, and you are still here to quibble. If you hadn't seduced our Crown Prince, how could you be so tired of being with our Crown Prince all the time?" The eunuch next to him began to smile sinisterly again, and left.
When he came to the Queen's side, he said, "Queen, this matter should be left to the servants. The Queen does not have to do it herself. The servants have both the means and the time to make her confess."
Yan Yan stared directly at the eunuch, almost killing him with his eyes a thousand times.
"Okay, Xiaochuanzi, I will leave this matter to you. You know what the outcome of this palace is." After saying that, the queen glanced at Yan Yan on the ground coldly, rolled up her sleeves and left this dirty place.
.
As soon as the queen left, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and each sound struck Yan Yan's heart like a reminder.
A middle-aged man with a long sword and a sinister face appeared in front of Yan Yan. From the eunuch's tone, he should be working under the queen. Before she could speak, the eunuch ordered someone to kill Yan Yan.
They were taken to another place. It was dark and cold inside, and only the four bonfires lit in the corners could barely illuminate the surrounding area.
At this time, Yan Yan had been firmly tied to the cross and was being interrogated by the eunuch himself. The middle-aged man with a sinister face was already holding a long whip behind him.
"Now if you honestly recruited me to seduce the prince under the orders of the Seventh Prince, you can avoid this physical pain. What do you think, do you want to seduce the prince or not?" He pulled up an armchair and sat down directly opposite me.
, seemed to be patiently trying to interrogate Yan Yan, and the gloomy expression on his face became even more ferocious under the light of the fire.
"I told you, I'm just a palace maid. I don't have the ability to seduce the prince. Father-in-law, you think too highly of me." Moreover, she really had nothing to say. She really didn't seduce the prince. If she said this, he would believe it.
? And it's obvious that what they want is for him to admit that she was ordered by the seventh prince, not to seduce the prince.
Although she felt that Qi Feng, the seventh elder brother, was overbearing, unreasonable, and always teasing her, she actually no longer hated him in her heart. Seeing that he always defended herself, she could not admit these unfounded things.
.
"Eunuch Chuan, this girl has a very tough mouth." The man with a fleshy face spoke in a deep voice, and the flesh on his face trembled as he spoke.
"We're just afraid that she won't be tough!" He gave a bloodthirsty smile, turned around to the man with a fleshy face, and said, "Go! Let's see her color."
When Yan Yan saw the muscular man coming over with a slender and flexible whip, her face changed. She had never been beaten before, let alone such a whip. Now, she looked like
Just like in a TV show, the torture of the whip was really going to happen to her. Before he could whip her, Yan Yan started to feel like her skin was torn apart.
"Although I don't really want to use such torture on a beautiful girl like you, but..." His original smile suddenly faded and turned into a vicious one. A whip was already mercilessly slapped on Yan Yan's body, and the sound of the whip was heard.
It was particularly harsh in this empty space, "If you refuse to admit it, I can only torture you!"
Yanyan looked at him directly, her eyes full of disdain, and groaned. She wanted to grit her teeth, but the bone-gnawing pain was too much for her to bear, and she let out a frightening scream in her throat, but
She still refused to admit the nonsense they said. Yan Yan only felt that the place where she was whipped first felt a burning pain, and then it was like thousands of insects biting her, gnawing at her wound over and over again.
"You bunch of dog slaves, you are ignorant of what is right and wrong, you are a garbage bug, you are the scum of the world. I will never admit anything I haven't done." As he said this, Yanyan reluctantly gave him a bite.
"I don't believe it." Yan Yan's reaction angered him, and he raised his hand and whipped her again. Yan Yan's mind went blank after being tortured by this whip, and her whole body could not describe her pain at this time.
When she was about to burst into tears from the pain, the father-in-law's sinister laughter sounded again.
"The little girl is very articulate, but I advise you to admit it earlier. Anyone who goes against the Queen will not end well. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you admit it, you can avoid this skin.
It’s a painful experience. How about it? Do you want to use it or not?”
Listening to the eunuch's yin and yang voice, she weakly loosened her clenched teeth and wanted to take a breath, but found that she was already in so much pain that she no longer had the strength to breathe. Cold sweat slid from her forehead to the corners of her eyes,
Turning to the cheek, "How do you want me to admit what I have never done before? You, a dead eunuch who is neither male nor female, rely on the power of others."
Yan Yan spat out these words bitterly, and saw that the eunuch's face turned very ugly. She was whipped again, and the pain that came from her made her vision slowly blur, and finally turned into darkness.
