The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away

As a result, after dinner that day, Xiao Jue personally brought Lin Acai to the cell where Nanny Zhang was imprisoned.

At this time, Nanny Zhang was lying on her side in a pile of dry straw.

Xiao Jue was afraid that her injuries had not yet healed, so he specifically ordered the guards to prepare a quilt for her to lie on.

The guard opened the door of the cell and Lin Acai walked in.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Nanny Zhang didn't move at all.

"Madam Zhang, are you willing to die like this? If you really die, I wonder if the one in Kunning Palace will call you stupid. He clearly gave you a chance to live and a chance to take revenge, but you threw it away."

These words slowly reached Aunt Zhang's ears.

Although she couldn't see Aunt Zhang's expression at the moment, looking at her hunched and twitching body, Lin Acai knew that she had heard it.

"The situation on the Queen's side is not good recently. Six or seven officials on the list you gave to Prince Xiao have already had their homes confiscated. If everything goes well, you will definitely hear the news of their execution within ten days."

"Hahaha......"

Upon hearing this, a ghostly laugh suddenly rang out from the cold and damp prison.

"Without the assistance of this old slave, the Queen will not be able to do anything. She is no match for you at all."

In the corner, bursts of angry and relieved voices suddenly came out. Lin Acai immediately signaled the guards to come forward and hold the person together to face her.

When Lin Acai saw Nanny Zhang's face clearly, she couldn't help but be shocked.

In just a few days, these yellow eyes were filled with hostility. She was lying there like a demon from hell, wanting to eat people, drink blood, and tear apart those who had betrayed her.

Lin Acai: "Mammy, even if you die, do you want to die with regrets?"

"No, I want to see her fall into the abyss of no return like me. I want to see her leave this world before me. Who made her betray me? Just because I didn't do my job well, she killed me. I won't accept this!!!"

"That's right. I feel sorry for you too." Lin Acai walked slowly to the front of Aunt Zhang, slowly bent down, looked down at the wrinkled face, her eyes filled with sympathy that could not be concealed.

"So, Mammy, you must take good care of your body. You must not let yourself become a starving ghost. I heard that people who become starving ghosts are very likely to be choked to death in their next reincarnation."

Lin Acai deliberately made threatening remarks, and after saying these words, she turned around with satisfaction and left the cell.

As a result, just as Lin Acai met Xiao Jue at the exit of the dungeon, she heard the guards rushing behind her report: "General, Aunt Zhang has taken the initiative to ask for food."

Xiao Jue: "Make sure the food is fresh, go down and prepare it quickly."

"I obey my orders."

After receiving the order, the young guard ran away after a while.

......

On the carriage heading back.

Xiao Jue looked at Ah Cai with a look of shock, and finally asked, "Ah Cai, what did you say to her? Why did she obey you so obediently?"

Lin Acai looked at the man opposite her with a secretive look and smiled: "Little brother, it's nothing. For a person like this, as long as you know what she wants to see the most, it's like you have her name."

Seeing the man opposite her obediently not interrupting her, Lin Acai thought for a moment and continued, "She just wants to see the Queen abandon her as a chess piece and end up losing everything. As long as we give her some news and give her hope, she will want to live on her own."

Xiao Jue finally curled up the corners of his lips and smiled with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, his Ah Cai is not only an excellent doctor, but also so smart.

How could Prince Xiao be so lucky to have picked up a treasure?

......

East Palace.

A graceful and elegant figure suddenly walked into the prince's bedroom. Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, the queen slowly walked towards her son not far away.

Crown Prince Li Chengce was explaining something to Chuangmang, but when he saw his mother coming, he immediately ordered her to retreat.

The Queen, with a subtle glance in the direction where Chuang Mang left the house, was shocked, "Prince, how come your mother has never seen this man before? When did he start serving you?"

"Mother, you seldom come to the East Palace, so it's normal that the people around me are unfamiliar to you. This person was assigned to your side by me before the New Year. By the way, mother, why did you come to your son's place today?"

Li Chengce stood up, bowed to his mother, and naturally changed the subject.

The Queen frowned and pretended to be angry, "You little brat, it's all because of you. Tell me honestly, how long have you been thinking about Miss Lin?"

"..."

"Miss Lin, that Miss Lin?" The prince pretended to be ignorant and thought about it, as if there was no such person in his mind at all.

"Don't hide it from your mother. If you really want her, I can help you."

The queen looked at her son with a doting face, but Li Chengce didn't believe it at all. Unexpectedly, his mother's next words directly broke his defense and touched him deeply.

"Chengce, it's rare that you have a girl you really like after all these years. If you really like her, let's snatch her away from that Prince Xiao. Then even if you let her be your imperial concubine, the Queen Mother will agree."

"Mother..."

"Silly son, don't be embarrassed to speak to your mother. Your mother is not like your father. There are so many sons in the harem, but you are the only one for your mother. As long as you want something, your mother will definitely help you get it. Since the throne is like this, then women should do the same."

"..."

Mother, you have always hoped that I could live a happy life.

Li Chengce's eyes were full of regret at this moment. He hated himself for having been blinded by greed for so many years and only now could he truly see his mother clearly.

He is really not a good son.

"Chengce, this is the ginseng soup that your mother personally ordered to be made for you. You must remember to drink it. The recent events at the Jinyiwei have really troubled you."

"Mother..."

The Queen Mother caressed her son's face for the last time, just like she did when he was a child, her eyes full of reluctance and a mother's love for her child.

After confirming his son's mind, he left the East Palace and headed back.

The queen looked up at the starry sky and suddenly smiled intoxicatedly.

Thinking back to when I was selected into the palace at the age of thirteen and reached the pinnacle of power in the harem, twenty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Twenty-five years ago seems like a lifetime ago, yet it seems like it was right in front of us.

The scene when the little girl with red hairpins on her head, whose face turned red and her heart beat fast whenever she spoke, met the emperor for the first time.

It should be, in this familiar corridor...
