Confidante Saisuke

"What? You want to go back to the queen? Why?" Li Xian was delighted that Shangguan Wan'er took the initiative to come to him, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er asked to return to the palace. He was very puzzled and kept asking.

"His Royal Highness's kindness to Wan'er, Wan'er will always remember it in her heart. However, Wan'er is a person who is close to the Queen of Heaven, and she cannot be the person with both ends of the head. Please forgive me and let Wan'er go back." Shangguan Wan'er thought for a few days , decided to resign to Li Xian face to face.

"Wan'er," Li Xian sighed, "You are too simple. How can you be the queen mother's person? Your grandfather and father were killed by the queen mother, and you and her are sworn enemies. Don't let the queen mother En Hui is confused, those are just means to confuse you and the world. She doesn't really treat you well at all."

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip and shook her head: "I don't believe it."

Li Xian called Zhao Daosheng to come in loudly, and told him to invite Xiao Jing to come.After Zhao Daosheng went out, Li Xian turned around and said, "Wan'er, you don't know what kind of person the queen mother is. I'll let Miss Xiao take you to see her true face."

After Xiao Jing came in to salute, Li Xian told her: "Miss Xiao, take Wan'er to Yeting, let her see what kind of person my mother is."

The two rode their horses and walked slowly towards Yeting.

"I thought you should have figured it out after a few days, why are you still obsessed with it?" Xiao Jing said.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at the roadside pavement, her expression became stubborn: "The Empress Dowager has treated me with great kindness, and I have sworn to be loyal to her."

Xiao Jing chuckled lightly when she heard the words, and didn't take it seriously: "It's because you were deceived by her before, it's nothing. Besides, you gave up your world feud is already a great reward for her kindness. You don't have to go back, do it. A clean person who has nothing to do with himself. You went to the empress's place. Regardless of whether your life can be saved, Lord Shangguan's life's fame will definitely be in vain. You will make your grandfather and father a laughing stock in the world .”

Shangguan Wan'er stopped talking, and the two walked forward in silence.

When they came to the gate of Yeting Palace, Xiao Jing ordered the gatekeeper to call the Yeting Bureau Commander over.

Not long after, the Ye Ting Bureau Commander came in a hurry and bowed to salute: "I don't know what orders Miss Xiao has?"

Xiao Jing walked forward and said: "Yeting Bureau has such a big rule, let us stand at this door for a whole hour, those who didn't know thought we were going to meet the Empress Dowager."

In fact, it was less than half a cup of tea, yet how dare the bureaucrat Ye Ting dare to argue with her and keep apologizing.

Only then did Xiao Jing say: "We followed the order of His Royal Highness to visit the place where Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xiao live. You lead the way."

Ye Ting Bureau Ling felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurried to the front to lead the way.

When they came to a dilapidated house with no windows but a round hole, the Yeting Bureau ordered them to open the door and invite them in.

The house has no windows, and even in the daytime, the light is very dim.As soon as Shangguan Wan'er stepped through the threshold, a choking smell of dust filled her nostrils.After a while, after getting used to the light in the room, Shangguan Wan'er saw that there was no bed in the room, and a thin pile of straw was probably the bed.On the ground was a rice pound, a thick bowl, and a bench.

Is this where the former empress and concubine lived after losing power?Not even the house she lived in with her mother.Shangguan Wan'er's heart was complicated.

"Wan'er, you saw it, this is the room where the Empress Dowager let them live together." Xiao Jing paced around the room, then stopped and turned to smile at her, "Don't you think this is their final ending. Originally winners and losers, since the two of them failed to compete for favor, it's nothing to end up like this. It's just that this is the most insignificant part of their suffering."

Shangguan Wan'er was a little scared, she didn't know whether to let Xiao Jing continue talking.In the silence, Xiao Jing said again: "They were imprisoned here after they were deposed that day, and they worked in pounding rice every day. One day, the Holy Majesty came here by chance and saw their situation. Back to the palace. She never thought that Tianhou knew about this immediately and immediately stopped the Holy Majesty. She immediately ordered someone to beat them each with a hundred boards. At that time, the two passed out several times, and the palace people woke up after pouring cold water on them and continued to beat them. Well, they were tortured on this bench." Xiao Jing pointed to the bench in the room.

Caught off guard, Shangguan Wan'er screamed.Looking at the bench, Shangguan Wan'er imagined the scene of the two being beaten to pieces, heart palpitations, and quickly walked out of the room.

Xiao Jing came out after her, and continued: "After the execution, there was no imperial doctor to give them medicine, so they were let to lie in the room for three to five days. After the day, they ordered people to gouge out their eyes and chop them off. Their hands and feet, put them into wine jars filled with poisonous snakes and scorpions, filled them with wine, and said it was to make their bones drunk."

Shangguan Wan'er was terrified when she heard it, she didn't know whether to believe Xiao Jing's words or not.Xiao Jing came over, took her hand and walked around to the back of the house.There were two wine jars.Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood, and immediately broke free from Xiao Jing's hand, refusing to move forward.Not knowing whether it was fear or sympathy, Shangguan Wan'er sobbed and covered her mouth with her sleeve.

Xiao Jing walked to the front of the wine urn alone, stretched out her hand to caress the wall of the urn, and said leisurely: "The former empress is worthy of being a famous lady who was educated by the aristocratic family. Ruthless queen."

Shangguan Wan'er stood behind Xiao Jing without making a sound, only to hear Xiao Jing continue to say: "Wan'er, you have lived in the palace for so long, do you know why the palace never raises cats? It's all thanks to my Xiao Jing." It was given by Aunt Shi. On that day, she knew that her time was approaching, and before she died, she cursed that in the next life, she would turn into a cat and the Queen of Heaven would become a mouse, and she would strangle the Queen of Heaven to death."

The two got on the horse again and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Shangguan Wan'er was at a loss.Is Tian Hou really such a person?She will never forgive anyone who has offended her.I still live in the world now, is it because there is still value to be used?One day in the future, will she treat herself like that?

Is everything true?Shangguan Wan'er reined in her horse suddenly, Xiao Jing turned to look at her.

"I'm going to see the Queen of Heaven."

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Jing grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's horse rein, "Are you going to ask her about Wang and Xiao? You are courting death."

Shangguan Wan'er shed tears again, and said loudly: "I want her to tell me what's going on."

After Xiao Jing and Shangguan Wan'er left the Yeting court, the Yeting bureau ordered them to report everything to Wu Meiniang in Ganlu hall.

very good.Then, Wan'er began to recognize her true colors.Presumably, such a icy soul must now feel that being close to him is an insult.And her hatred for killing Shangguan's whole family.There are so many ravines lying between them, and beside her is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a high mountain scene.Isn't the result obvious?

very good.Those truly noble scholars have always hated themselves.The only ones who are willing to stay by their side are some squirrels.

well.

In Wu Meiniang's heart, there was a burst of sadness.I'm afraid that Xu Hui will be reborn, and he should avoid it for fear of himself.Under the Nine Springs, if she knew that her life was exchanged for a person who regarded benevolence, righteousness and morality as nothing, she would regret it at the beginning.

While thinking about it, Tuan'er came in and reported: "Tianhou, Miss Shangguan is asking to see you outside the hall."

finally come.Wu Meiniang felt her heart sink to the bottom of the valley, and ordered: "Take her to the Liushuang Pavilion in the Imperial Garden and wait."

Tuan'er led the order to go out.Wu Meiniang took a sip of tea in Anan and continued to approve tomorrow's memorial.When she looked up again, the setting sun was shining into the room.

When they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Wu Meiniang ordered everyone to stay at the gate and went to Liushuang Pavilion by herself.Far away, she saw Shangguan Wan'er sitting in the pavilion alone, motionless.

Lifting her chin, Wu Meiniang walked towards the pavilion.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shangguan Wan'er recovered from her contemplation, turned her head to look over, and immediately got up to salute: "Wan'er pays homage to the Queen of Heaven."

Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand to support Shangguan Wan'er, seeing her was really full of sadness.

"I forgot the time when I was reviewing the memorial. Wan'er should blame me in her heart. You are also a fool. You are stupid to ask you to wait in the pavilion. The garden is also very big. You can't walk around here and there. Alright." Now it's early spring in March, and it's the second half of the day when the sun sets, and there are many trees in the garden, and it's cold after sitting for a long time.Wu Meiniang casually tied her cloak on Shangguan Wan'er.

Seeing that there was still tea on the table, Wu Meiniang poured a cup casually, it was still hot.Nodding secretly in his heart, Tuan'er has been raped by Liu Niang for a few days, and he is really outstanding.

Shangguan Wan'er was not good at words, but she was even more straightforward when she spoke to Wu Meiniang.Now that he is full of thoughts in his stomach, he can't take care of many things, so he opens his mouth and tells the whole story of what he saw and heard today.

Wu Meiniang took a sip of tea slowly: "That's right, what she said is the truth."

Shangguan Wan'er heard Wu Meiniang's own confession that there was no turning point in this matter, so she immediately turned her head away to prevent Wu Meiniang from seeing her cry.

Now that the truth is out, what should she do.Did she really leave Tianhou?Where is she going?Shangguan Wan'er suddenly lay down on the table and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang hurried over and patted her on the back lightly.

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and asked: "Why are you so cruel? No matter how much you hate them, even if you just kill them, why torture them alive? The former empress sent you out of the Ganye Temple It is kind to you to take them back to the palace, and even though the two of them competed with you, they didn't harm you after all, so why do you treat them like this?"

Wu Meiniang was silent for a while, and after a while she said: "I am a woman with a heart like a snake and a scorpion. What you know is only the tip of the iceberg. You already know about the Shangguan family's feud and Wang Xiao. You and I Go back to Ganlu Hall, and I will tell you something you don't know."

The spring was cold, Shangguan Wan'er had been in the imperial garden for half a day, Wu Meiniang was worried that she would be cold because of her thin body, so she dragged her back to the Ganlu Hall.
