Yongzhang pursed his lips toward the pothole on the ground and said, "You haven't answered me yet." Since Gao Bin said those words to him, although he was not sure whether to do this, he also wanted to know what happened.
Who was responsible for the poison, so he has been paying attention to the palace in the past few days. When he happened to pass by the palace gate just now, he saw Qiao Yan'er hurriedly leaving the palace. Out of curiosity, he followed him.
"Slave...Slave..." Qiao Yan'er was flustered and didn't know how to answer. After a while, she finally managed to think of an explanation, "Slave, I often feel a sore throat recently. Someone once told me about an earthwork that uses earthworms to boil water.
Take it, so this slave is digging earthworms here!"
Yong Zhang walked around Qiao Yan'er and said, "There are many imperial doctors in the palace. You don't seek medical treatment from them, but you go out of the palace to dig earthworms here?"
Qiao Yan'er tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said: "What is your status as a slave? How can I hire an imperial doctor to see you?"
Yongzhang nodded noncommittally and said: "That's true. Well, since I encountered it, I will ask an imperial doctor to take a look at it for you. In addition, I would also like to ask if these earthworms can really cure throats."
Qiao Yan'er quickly said: "It's just a minor illness. I don't dare to bother Third Brother."
Yong Zhang stared at her coldly and said, "Are you afraid to trouble me, or is there something you don't dare to let me know?"
Qiao Yan'er's heart was beating wildly, but she managed to maintain a calm expression, "Slave... I don't understand what Third Brother means."
Yong Zhang scolded: "You came here secretly, and when you saw me appearing, you turned pale. You clearly have something to hide, so why don't you tell me quickly!"
"No slave!" Qiao Yan'er hurriedly knelt down and said with an aggrieved look on her face: "What I said is true. I have nothing to hide from Third Elder Brother. I ask Third Elder Brother to tell you the truth!"
A trace of suspicion flashed across Yongzhang's eyes, and he said coldly: "You won't tell me? Okay, Changshun, search her body for me, be careful, don't miss a single step!"
"Hey!" the palace attendant behind him agreed, stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Yan'er who was about to dodge, and groped her body for a while. After a while, he forcibly took out a bamboo tube from her arms and looked at it.
Seeing this thing being taken out, Qiao Yan'er's face suddenly turned gray, she stopped struggling and just bit her lower lip hard.
After Yongzhang took the bamboo tube from Changshun's hand, he opened the stopper on it. Looking through the skylight, he saw a green insect curled up inside. The appearance was the same as that day when Tao An escaped from Xianyue's body.
The one that was forced out was generally the same, except that it was slightly larger and more hideous.
After Yong Zhang saw clearly what was contained in the bamboo tube, his expression changed drastically. After tremblingly stuffing it with a stopper, he hurriedly threw it on the ground, pointed at Qiao Yan'er, and said with a trembling voice: "You... the poison in Huang Eniang's body
It turns out...it was really you who did it!"
Now that things have happened, Qiao Yan'er has nothing to hide. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. If Tao An hadn't stepped in, the Demon Queen would have been dead long ago!"
Yongzhang thought of the tragic situation after Xianyue was poisoned, and took a few steps back with lingering fear, and then said: "Why did you do this? Isn't Huang Eniang your savior?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yan'er spat excitedly: "Bah! Savior...how can she deserve these four words!"
Yong Zhang looked at Qiao Yan'er carefully and said, "Who...are you? How come you have such hatred for the Queen?"
Qiao Yaner sneered: "My real name is Yehenala, do you understand?"
Yong Zhang exclaimed in surprise and said in disbelief: "You...are you the third young lady who escaped from the Yehenala clan?"
"Yes, it's me!" Qiao Yan'er gritted her teeth and said: "I was originally a pampered official lady. I became a fugitive overnight, suffered a lot of hardships, and even sold myself to a brothel. All of this was done by worshiping the Demon Queen and the Dog Emperor.
Given, do you think I should hate them?!"
Yong Zhang tried his best to calm down and said: "So, the previous encounter outside the palace was deliberately arranged by you? And what about Wanhua Tower?"
"Humph, how can I be so capable?" After saying this, Qiao Yan'er slowly told her story. On that day, their family was executed by Hongli's order. She was recuperating in an old house in the country.
He was able to escape before the guards arrived and avoid being killed.
After that, she changed her name to Qiao Yan'er and hid in Tibet from north to south. Although she took a lot of money with her when she escaped, she was originally a wealthy lady raised in a deep house and did not know the hardships and dangers of the world.
Not long after she escaped, she was defrauded of all the money she had by a liar, and was almost raped by him. After finally escaping, she was penniless and could only scrape together some money by pawning her jewelry.
.
This journey of escaping made her hate Hongli and Xianyue more and more deeply, and she vowed that one day she would repay the pain they had inflicted on her, including the principal and interest; before the great revenge was avenged,
She must live and live!
One day, while she was spending the night in a ruined temple, she met a man. While the two were chatting, Qiao Yaner learned that this man was from Miao territory and that he had a malnutrition voodoo that had reached the stage of giving birth.
It drains the host's blood and kills people invisible. Unless someone understands the poison, they will definitely not be able to find out the cause.
Although Qiao Yan'er was still on the run at the time and had no ability to take revenge, she was still moved by it when she heard about the power of the malnutrition Gu. She wanted to ask him to buy the malnutrition Gu, but the man thought he was willing to sell it.
But the asking price was five hundred taels, and Qiao Yan'er couldn't even get five hundred taels.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Qiao Yan'er was unwilling to give in. Hatred blinded her reason, and she even proposed to sell herself to a brothel to pay him money. She was immersed in hatred and never thought about what would happen if she could not contact Hongli or Hongli.
It's Xianyue, it's useless even if she holds the malnutrition Gu.
At this time, they were already in the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture. At dawn, they arrived at the largest brothel in Hangzhou Prefecture, the Wanhua Building.
Qiao Yan'er was born in a high-ranking official. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was also very beautiful. When she saw Qiao Yan'er, she was so happy that she immediately gave the man five hundred taels and bought Qiao Yan'er.
.
Yong Zhang interrupted her, "So, what Nanny Lin said is true. Is it true that you volunteered and were not forcibly sold into Wanhua Tower?"
"That's right." Qiao Yan'er sneered and said, "Mama Lin didn't lie, but so what, no one believed what she said and everyone thought what I told was the truth."
Yongzhang said in a deep voice: "Mama Lin thought she bought a money tree, but in fact... it's a life-giving talisman."
"Maybe, but she is indeed very capable." A trace of fear appeared in Qiao Yan'er's eyes, "At first, I didn't want to listen to her and learn those shameful things, but if I didn't learn, she would leave no trace.
But it made you want to live but not to die. I couldn't torture you with any means. After several times, I could only pretend to listen to her words, and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, Aunt Lin watched closely. For several months, she did not find an opportunity. Instead, she accepted the guest.
