Yan Tingyue arrived at Yonghe Palace in a swaggering manner.
The imperial concubine was leaning on the beauty's couch, with a serious look on her face. Yan Tingyue pinched herself hard, and then rushed forward with tears in her eyes: "Aunt Hui! Aunt Hui, please save Ting Yue!"
The imperial concubine said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
She cried a lot, complaining that Yan Chengyuan and the old prince were unreasonable and unkind, and begged the imperial concubine to relieve her from confinement...
The imperial concubine just sat quietly, listening to her vent her many dissatisfaction with her grandfather, father and family. It seemed that everyone in the world felt sorry for her... The imperial concubine's expression gradually became strange.
Several palace ladies nearby stepped forward to persuade her, and with a flick of her sleeves, Linlang poured a cup of tea onto Yan Tingyue.
Linlang hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "I'm sorry, it was my servant who was clumsy."
The imperial concubine's voice trembled slightly: "Take her down to change clothes."
Linlang hurriedly took her down, asked someone to bring her water to bathe in, and asked someone to help her tie her hair again and change her clothes.
After finishing serving, Linlang turned around and went out. The imperial concubine looked at her quietly. Linlang knelt down and said: "My lady, I have seen it. There is no red mole on her body, nor... on her belly button."
The imperial concubine closed her eyes slightly: "Can you see clearly?"
"See clearly," Linlang said softly, "I dare to guarantee it with my life."
The imperial concubine nodded, suddenly feeling weak all over her body: "Send it out."
Over there, Yan Tingyue was thinking that he must ask the imperial concubine to give him a few more things this time and take them back to shock the people in the house. Maybe he can also go out and ask those villains to take a look... Who knows that they just finished changing
I didn't even see my clothes, so I asked someone to take them out of the palace.
Immediately, the eunuchs of Yonghe Palace went to see the second lady Meng Min and announced her entry into the palace.
In fact, the imperial concubine and Meng Min look very similar, except that the imperial concubine's chin is slightly pointed and more charming, while Meng Min has an oval face and looks more majestic.
However, the emperor's concubine has been favoring him for twenty years, and his whole body is as beautiful as the moonlight in the sky. His aura is not comparable to that of Meng Min.
The two of them have always been close to each other, but this time, the imperial concubine watched Mrs. Meng salute and remained silent until Mrs. Meng couldn't hold it in anymore.
Where did Tingyue go?"
Mrs. Meng's face suddenly turned pale.
She slowly raised her head and looked at her. The imperial concubine looked at her silently. Meng Min finally knelt down slowly, tears welling up in her eyes: "My queen, please forgive me..."
She sobbed and told what happened in Qinzhou back then.
The more the imperial concubine listened, the more shocked she became. She simply didn't know what to say: "Why are you so confused! You did such a thing to confuse the royal bloodline! Are you going to die!?"
Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly.
She whispered: "Empress, my Tingyue is gone, and my heart feels like it has been cut out with a knife... But the old princess has loved her since she was a child and urged her to go back like a madman. She is not in good health. How can we
Dare you tell her that Tingyue is gone? What if...what if something happens to you, how will we deal with it?"
The imperial concubine said angrily: "Then you find a fake one? No wonder, no wonder you don't like her..."
"Yes," Mrs. Meng said with a bitter smile: "I don't like her. I really can't like her. When I see her, I think of my Tingyue... How can I like her?"
She took a long breath: "And that's not all. Back then, do you know where the second master found this child?"
She paused and said, "It's in the bandits' den. There was a group of bandits entrenched on Wuji Mountain, and the second master wanted to get rid of them. When he went there, he found that the bandit leader was cutting women's skins to make human skin lanterns..."
She couldn't help but vomited, and the imperial concubine also frowned.
Mrs. Meng said: "Our second master has always been jealous of evil. Don't you know that? Of course he killed them all...The bandit leader is her biological father."
She sighed: "I did feel a little uncomfortable, but I also thought that the child was less than three years old at the time. No matter how vicious those people were, she was still an innocent child... After I brought her back, I also taught her with care and cared for her in every way.
, Even now, when I talk about those days, I still have a clear conscience."
"Who knows... who knows that some things are really brought out from the bones."
"Once, I saw a maid in her room walking a little wrong. After asking her, I found out that during lunch, she thought the soup was hot, so she pushed the bowl to the floor, breaking the porcelain on the floor, and she screamed
That maid walked back and forth on the porcelain tiles with her bare feet several times..."
"I was very unhappy with such cruelty, so I taught her patiently, and gave her a nanny, thinking that she was overturned, and nothing happened. Who knew that one time the second master and I went over accidentally, and we saw
There were people guarding outside. When they saw us, they were so frightened that their legs weakened. The second master stopped him on the spot. When we went in, we saw that she was using a thorn stick to slap the inside of the maid's thighs..."
Beating the thighs with thin wattle sticks was a method used in the palace to force confessions. It was extremely painful but left no scars...
Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly and said: "She was not yet eight years old at the time. No one had ever told her this. In order to avoid my control, she came up with such a method without any teacher. She would rather spend all her efforts to do it.
To torture people... I felt at that time that this child could not be overcome."
The imperial concubine said in astonishment: "This is too... too..."
She raised her head twice and couldn't speak anymore.
Mrs. Meng said: "Later, when the second master saw that I really didn't care about her and didn't care about her anymore, he told me that it turned out that at that time, the bandit leader was cutting human skin lanterns, and the child who was less than three years old was clapping and cheering next to him.
…”
The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, and her whole body felt cold for a moment.
While the two women were having a secret conversation in the palace, Yan Chengyuan had just received an oral order from Emperor Ming Yan.
The imperial decree asked him to go see the commander immediately, but he didn't even have time to explain. He only wrote a hurried handwritten letter to the deputy commander and left Chang'an City quickly.
At this time, Shengjia had arrived in Suzhou, settled down, and summoned Du Qisheng to pay him a visit.
Emperor Ming Yan saw Tang Shiyue muttering with Gu Jiuxing and called him over to ask. She was telling Gu Jiuxing to tell her if Du Rong came.
Emperor Ming Yan asked her: "What do you want?"
Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "I don't have to do anything at all! I just need to dangle in front of him and let him know that I am Mrs. Enfu County who has been in the limelight recently, and he will be able to piss himself to death...
If he already knows, I will ask Mr. Gu to help me and act out the role of 'Holy Familiar Youlong', which will scare him to death."
She felt quite happy when she thought about it: "For this kind of person, all you need to do is live a better life than him, which is the greatest revenge on him. I like the way he can't stand me but can't kill me."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded at her: "You don't learn well in books, but you talk in one way. I heard that you even approved the prince for the Huo family. What kind of inertial thinking..."
Tang Shiyue's eyes widened: "Why does the prince tell you everything?"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed: "Okay, tell me, what is inertial thinking?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "It's easy. I'll tell the emperor a story."
She said: "There was a mute who wanted to buy some nails, so he went to the small shop and made a gesture to the clerk."
She raised one finger and made a hammering gesture with her other hand: "The man knew it as soon as he saw it, and then brought him a hammer. The mute shook his head, and the man understood. He wanted to
What I bought was nails.”
"At this time, a blind man came and wanted to buy a pair of scissors. What do you think the blind man would do?"
Emperor Ming Yan frowned, and then Tang Shiyue pointed at an eunuch casually, "What do you think?"
The eunuch said: "I know this, the blind man must be like this." He stretched out his index and middle fingers, making the appearance of cutting something with scissors.
Tang Shiyue pointed at him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, this is inertial thinking."
After Emperor Ming Yan was startled, he finally understood and shook his head with a smile. The eunuch was still confused and laughed and said: "Madam, I don't understand. I would like to teach you a lesson, Madam."
Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "If a blind man wants to buy scissors, he can just open his mouth and say 'I want to buy scissors'. Why do he have to make gestures?"
The eunuch stayed for a while and then suddenly realized. (To be continued)
