The man in prison raised his head and was shocked when he heard this: "Are you...?"
"Ling Nuansi."
"Nuan Si? Are you Nuan Si?" The man looked surprised.
Nuan Si didn't have too many expressions. She just took a cursory look at the man and found that he had an average appearance. He was five feet tall and had a bear's waist and a tiger's back. At first glance, he looked like a mountain villager. Nuan Si shook his head helplessly. It's not strange.
Others often laugh at Xiliang as a small barbarian country, a desolate place with no decent talents. Even the dignified three princes are so unspectacular.
"Exactly." Nuan Si replied calmly.
"Nuansi, I am the third brother." The man repeatedly emphasized his relationship with Nuansi.
"Well, I know." Nuan Si was not surprised at all.
"Sister, you have to save me, save my brother." The man immediately began to beg for help, wagging his tail.
It didn't match his tall body at all. Nuan Si sighed, how could there be such a dirty person in Xiliang...
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Nuan Si coldly said eight words.
"My sister doesn't understand the situation. I was also entrusted by my father and I don't know anything. Now that my brother has realized his mistake, I beg my sister to say a few words of kindness in front of the King of Nanyu and leave my brother with this miserable life." The man said in tears.
With.
"Then you mean that this incident was planned by the emperor?" Nuan Si was angry, and she didn't expect that this guy would blame the incident on Emperor Ming of Xiliang.
"Yes, yes, my father asked me to do this." The man replied immediately.
Nuan Si glanced contemptuously: "You disappoint me so much."
"Sister, what do you mean by this?" The man heard that Ling Nuansi's words were wrong.
"Sister? When did you think of me as your sister? When did Xi Liang think of me as your daughter?" Nuan Si smiled sarcastically, remembering that when she first traveled through time, she was fostered in her uncle's house and suffered all kinds of injustices. Otherwise, it would not be the same.
He would force the real Ling Nuansi to jump into the river and commit suicide, nor would he pass her soul through by accident...
"This..." The man seemed choked and had no words to say.
"Since my parents and I came here, no one from Xiliang has ever sent me a visit, not even a letter from home. I even tried to get tax exemptions and exemptions after losing money, but what about you? How did you repay me? Just because something went wrong.
You only thought of me after you were arrested? Don’t you know that I will be crippled if I am implicated?”
"Sister, what are you talking about for this purpose? To help or not to help?" Ling Feihu seemed to have heard the mystery behind Nuan Si's words, so he no longer begged as hard as before.
"What do you think?" Nuan Si said disdainfully.
"Okay, I bet you are cruel." Ling Feihu said harshly.
"Ling Nuansi, do you think you will still be successful even if you don't help me?"
Nuan Si turned to look at Ling Feihu...
"We have always had spies in Nanyu and know this place well. Don't think that we don't know that you have fallen out of favor a long time ago. There are many concubines in the harem. Once Mrs. Cuiwei gives birth to an heir, your position as queen will be in jeopardy."
"Well, the analysis is correct? What else?" Nuan Si raised his eyebrows lightly.
"So if Xiliang counts on you, it is digging its own grave. It is better to give it a try."
"Very good. This is the result of you giving it a try and being caught by Nan Yu. Since you understand so well, Third Brother, why do you still want to see me? You can just wait to die."
"You... Ling Nuansi, you are such a cruel woman."
"Am I cruel? I was sent as a sacrifice by you to get married. You still have the nerve to say that I am cruel. Ha, what a big joke. Let me tell you, Ling Feihu, I will not return to Xiliang the moment I get married.
, I have severed all ties with Xiliang. Even if one day I am kicked out of the palace by the emperor, no matter where the world is, I will never step foot in Xiliang again."
"Okay, since you said such vicious words, I have nothing to say." Ling Feihu knew that Ling Nuansi didn't want to help him, so his eyes dimmed and he lay down on the straw mat in the prison without saying anything.
.
After coming out, Nuan Si felt a little depressed. Although she was not the real owner of this body, the blood flowing on her body was also Xi Liang's blood...
"Miss, what you just said is a bit..." Belle said carefully.
"A bit decisive, isn't it?" Nuansi answered.
"Yeah." Belle nodded.
"Belle, I have no choice. There are people in the prison who belong to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. If I didn't say that, I might not even be able to protect myself, let alone you."
"I see, my dear, you are much more cautious now than before." Belle said with emotion.
Nuan Si smiled mockingly: "There is no way, I was forced out."
"So Third Prince, are you really not going to save him?" Belle suddenly thought of this crucial question.
"How can I be saved even if I have the will but no power? Now hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at him. As soon as I open my mouth, we will all be caught in one fell swoop."
"Then it seems that the third prince is bound to die." Belle sighed.
"Not necessarily. The emperor should not touch him under the current situation, because on the surface, he is still on good terms with Xi Liang. If he is moved, Xi Liang will have a reason to openly and openly form an alliance with Beixi." Nuan Si analyzed calmly.
Belle suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't this slave think of it, hey, people really become confused after their face is hurt?"
Nuan Si turned around and gently touched the missing scar on Belle's face, feeling guilty: "Belle, I..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to say anything, I understand. I'm fine now. Don't worry about me." Belle was afraid that the little empress would feel uncomfortable and blame herself, so she kept persuading her.
"Belle, if I leave the palace one day, will you leave me?"
"Yes, wherever the queen goes, the servant will go." Beier said firmly.
Just as he was preparing to return to Xiluan Hall, he happened to meet Mrs. Lan and the new Xiu, who were bringing substitute maids Caihuan and Ruyi to enjoy the flowers.
"I would like to express my regards to the Queen." Bai Ruolan bowed.
"Get flat."
"Thank you, empress." The concubines stood up.
"Well? Isn't this Song Ruyi?" Nuan Si was surprised.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Ruyi has been adopted as my personal maid. Your Majesty won't blame me," Mrs. Lan said with a smile.
"Of course not. I have no control over who Mrs. Lan wants to take in." Nuan Si also smiled and dealt with her.
Mrs. Lan looked back at Ruyi and said: "Well, this girl has a hard life. She has a very iconic face. It would not be difficult to win a title for a talented person, but she offended you. It is really unlucky. Fortunately, I see you.
She was pitiful, and he saved her when she was dying. I didn’t mean to go against the empress, but saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda. I always felt unbearable, and I was not as ruthless as some people.
hand."
Nuan Si knew clearly that Mrs. Lan was criticizing mulberry trees and scolding Sophora japonicas. There was something wrong in her words, but she did not reveal it. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Lan has always been a bodhisattva. No one in the palace knows this."
Mrs. Lan's smile became even brighter after hearing this: "Your Majesty is right, even the Emperor is a kind-hearted Lord."
Suddenly, Mrs. Lan looked at a ray of light not far away, her face changed slightly, and said: "Ruyi, kneel down quickly and admit your mistake to the Queen."
Ruyi was at a loss and said innocently: "Madam, what is the crime of this slave?"
Mrs. Lan stepped forward and slapped Ruyi on the face: "If I ask you to kneel down, you will kneel down. There is so much nonsense. When you see the Queen in the future, you must know how to be humble, otherwise your life will be ruined by the Queen's words."
Ruyi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Nuan Si frowned, wondering what kind of opera this master-servant was singing? Why should he admit his mistake? He was not that careless person.
At this moment, before Nuan Si could say anything, the emperor walked in.
"Concubine, please give your regards to the Emperor." Nuan Si and Mrs. Lan knelt down together.
"Get up." The emperor said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nuan Si was lifted up by Bei'er. Before she could say anything, the Emperor looked at Song Ruyi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Lan quickly walked over and took the emperor's arm and said sweetly: "The emperor doesn't know something. After the maid who offended the queen last time was punished, she almost died. I couldn't bear it, so I took her as a slave.
This is not the day I saw the Queen again, so..."
Mrs. Lan didn't finish her words. This was the most clever thing, because based on her previous words, it can be inferred that the queen was careless, so she once again provoked Gong E to kneel down as she wished.
Sure enough, the emperor's expression turned very bad: "The queen will always be willing to hold on to a trivial matter."
"My concubine..." Nuan Si was about to explain.
Mrs. Lan glanced at Ruyi. Ruyi immediately grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and cried: "It's my fault. I didn't know the etiquette when I first entered the palace. I offended the empress. Please forgive me."
When the emperor heard this, he looked at Nuan Si with a gloomy face: "Queen, please be merciful if you have to."
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. This slave has to explain..." Beier stepped forward to say something.
Caiyi behind Mrs. Lan kicked Belle's leg with a vigorous step, causing Belle to lie straight back.
"Ah." Belle shouted, lying on the ground, extremely embarrassed.
Nuan Si ran over without caring about anything and helped Bei Er up...
"It's full of ugliness." The emperor dropped these four words and left angrily.
Mrs. Lan covered her face and smiled softly, then left with Ruyi and Caiyi.
"Belle, how are you? Are you injured?" Nuansi asked distressedly.
"Your Majesty, this slave is fine. Why didn't you explain just now? Don't worry about this slave. Don't let the emperor wrongly accuse you." Beier cried sadly.
"Belle, what kind of person do you think the emperor is?" Nuansi asked without answering Belle.
"The Emperor is a very smart and thoughtful monarch, and his methods are also very... vicious." Belle said cautiously.
"That's right. Your Majesty is such a smart person. Can't you tell by this little trick? It's just that he has no intention of helping me, so even if I explain, he won't listen." Nuan Si burst into tears.
said.
"Mother, you have been wronged." Belle cried.
Nuan Si shook her head: "I'm fine, but it's a pity that I've hurt you, Belle. I swear that I will protect you in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, I will never let her go. Even if the palace cannot tolerate us,
As big as the sky is, there is always a place for our master and servant.”
Belle nodded with tears in her eyes. The smart Belle felt that the Queen had already made up her mind to leave the palace, and she was just looking for a suitable opportunity.
In the wing
Qing'er brought snacks to Bao'er's room, and the two chatted about daily life.
Suddenly, Qing'er hesitated and said: "Aunt Bao, I heard something and I wonder if I should tell you?"
Bao'er is a straightforward person and immediately said: "What's the matter?"
"Everyone in our palace is talking about the fact that the Queen loves Aunt Belle far more than you do, and she also said..."
"What else can you say?" Bao'er felt a little uncomfortable.
"I also heard that even if the empress returns to Xiliang, she will take Aunt Bei'er back with her. Aunt Bao'er has not been included in this."
"What? Did your Majesty really say that?" Bao'er felt like his heart was suddenly hit.
Seeing Bao'er's face gradually changing, Qing'er was very happy and continued: "I also heard that although Aunt Bei'er was disfigured, she still seduced Yan Zhonghou, and her obsequious behavior has not diminished at all."
With a clang, Bao'er pushed down the snacks on the table, and his face turned pale in an instant...
