The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 857 Eunuch Lan

"How could this happen? Why is the sky red?" The concubine couldn't help but run to the door. Seeing the sky was so red that it almost looked like blood was dripping out, she began to get scared. "Could it be that the legend about the gem is true? This color is exactly the same as the gem!"

Ye Wenyan comforted her: "Don't think too much, this is just a special weather, just like the heavy snowstorm last summer. Although abnormal celestial phenomena are not common, they have existed since ancient times. Besides, didn't the queen say that only when the gem is by the sea can magical things happen? This Tianshui City is still far away from the sea!"

The concubine nodded, "Yes, this is not the seaside, so it shouldn't be the gem. But where did my gem go? Was it picked up by someone, or did it fall into a crack in a rock, or into a pond? Yes, a pond, it might have fallen into a pond. There is a lot of water in the Prince of Pingxi's mansion, so it must have fallen into the water."

She began to shout: "Someone come! Someone come!"

After shouting for a long time, a servant came over. It was a maid in her twenties. She was probably frightened by the sudden astronomical phenomenon. She ran over tremblingly. When she came close, she also asked tremblingly: "What do you want, Madam?"

The concubine said, "Immediately call for someone to drain all the water in the palace. I lost something and I think it fell into the water."

The maid almost cried, "Madam, the sky is so red, who would care to pump water? Don't worry, if it really fell into the water, even if we don't look for it now, it will definitely be there in the future. No one would go underwater to steal things."

The concubine rarely gets angry at the servants, but now, perhaps because she was frightened by the red light, she couldn't control her anger: "I'm a concubine, so you don't listen to me! If I were the principal wife of the Prince of Pingxi, would you do whatever I told you to do?"

Before the maid could answer, the sky changed again. It was red before, but now it was even redder. And it seemed as if the sky was pressing down, and in a short while the clouds were pressed down so low that people subconsciously felt a little breathless.

The maid burst into tears and kept asking, "What on earth is going on? Is the sky going to fall?"

The concubine didn't even have time to pump water. She was also wondering if the sky was going to fall.

It’s not a big deal. At this time, she didn’t trust anyone but Ye Wenyan.

She grabbed Ye Wenyan and asked, "What's your name?"

Ye Wenyan said: "Yaoyao, Xiao Yaoyao."

"Okay, Yaoyao, you stay with me, be my attendant, and help me take good care of Xiao Yuan'er."

Ye Wenyan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."

The two turned back to the house, and the concubine slammed the door shut and even locked it, as if there was a monster outside. She said to Ye Wenyan, "Let's stay in the house, no one should go out. I always feel that this celestial phenomenon is not right, it is different from the heavy snowstorm last summer. Maybe the sky is really going to fall, and if the sky falls, everyone will be finished."

After she finished speaking, she ran back to the inner room and hugged Xiao Yuan'er. "I am not afraid of death. I even hope that everyone in this palace will die. But I can't bear to let Xiao Yuan'er die. I risked my life to give birth to this child. How can I bear to let him die?"

Ye Wenyan stood by the window. Because the concubine didn't allow her to open the window, she poked open a piece of window paper with her hand and watched the servants running around outside. She could faintly hear many people crying.

The guards of the palace were maintaining order. If they saw someone crying too hard, they would kick or beat them. Gradually, the order in the palace was no longer so chaotic, but it did not return to normal.

The butler came and told that the prince had ordered everyone to stay indoors and not to leave easily.

The housekeeper even went to the concubine's room to ask, "Are you okay, Madam? Is the young master okay too?" The concubine said, "It's okay. We won't die." Then she asked the housekeeper, "Where is the prince? Did he go out?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Your Highness, the prince has gone out to do some work. Before he left, he specifically asked you to take care of this side and told the servants to serve the young master well and take good care of the princess. I have sent more people to this courtyard. Your Highness, please let me know if you have any instructions."

The concubine didn't say anything and let him go.

It was not until the housekeeper walked away that the concubine sneered and said to Ye Wenyan: "What do you mean by taking good care of us? The extra people are just for surveillance. He is afraid that I will run away with the child. If I run away, he will be finished."

Ye Wenyan was puzzled, "Why did the queen say that?"

The concubine said, "The King of Pingxi made a deal with my father. My marriage to him means I can monitor the King of Pingxi. For the King of Pingxi, I am a hostage in his hand. With me here and Xiao Yuan'er here, my father cannot turn against him. Yaoyao, do you know who my father is?" Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "I heard he is the prefect of a prefecture in Guiyue."

The concubine shook her head. "Not only is my father the prefect, he is also the uncle of the Emperor Guiyue. So he has a lot of say in Guiyue, and my cousin the Emperor trusts him very much. My father does a lot of things for him, and he also takes a lot of blame for him. But he is also very good to my father, and he is relieved to let my father manage a prefecture instead of staying in the capital and watching over him.

Yaoyao, I don't know who you are, but I still say the same thing, I believe in my vision and intuition, if I say you are not a cook, then you are not a cook, whether you admit it or not. There are some things I shouldn't tell you, because I'm not sure which side you are on. It's very likely that you are a Guiyue person, and if I say these words, it may cost Xiao Yuan'er and me our lives.

But if I don’t say it, I might suffocate to death.

Anyway, since you came to the Pingxi King's Mansion, and in such a sneaky way, it at least shows that you and the Pingxi King are not on the same side. As long as you are not on the same side with him, I will be relieved. As long as you are not on the same side with him, we are not enemies.

Yaoyao, let me tell you, the King of Pingxi did something big. He conspired with my father to dig up the iron ore of Northern Qi and send it to Guiyue to make weapons for Guiyue's soldiers. My royal cousin has been planning to attack Northern Qi, but not the Central Plains of Northern Qi, but Tianshui City... No, he wants to attack Chunlan City.

There is a secret passage in Tianshui City that leads directly to Guiyue. Guiyue's soldiers can pass through Tianshui City silently and reach the outskirts of Chunlan City through this secret passage. Tianshui City has the King of Pingxi in it, which means it has been taken into Guiyue's possession. Chunlan City may also be caught off guard.

Yaoyao, if you are from Northern Qi, then I will tell you a secret - there is an important person stationed on the other side of the secret passage leading to Guiyue. It is not my father, but the most trusted eunuch of my royal cousin, Eunuch Lan!"
