"Does the emperor know about Ji Yuqing?”
Situ Mantian thought about it. Right now, she only knew about Ji Yuqing, and she didn't know much.
The reason why she told him about her was just to make a bet.
If she lost this bet, she would be able to return to the Xuan Estate and regain her freedom. She could also take revenge for the humiliation she had suffered.
However, if she lost, she would not be able to escape the sorrow of her previous life and die here.
No matter which possibility it was, her heart was already dead.
No one could survive in such an era with hope after managing something like this or that.
Moreover, she no longer had the ability to protect herself.
"Everyone in Chang 'an knows that Ji Yuqing is Prince Xuan's sweetheart. It's just that she was killed a few days ago and now her head is separated.”
Chu Yijing's eyes flickered for a moment before he looked at her with disdain.
"Could it be that you want to use this matter to exchange with me?”
Before Situ Mantian could say anything, Chu Yijing could not help but snort coldly.
"How laughable. You're telling me that it's a secret when everyone knows about it. Situ Manyao, are you toying with me?”
"Emperor, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly.”
Situ Mantian was not in a hurry. She looked at him with a faint smile.
She had a lot of doubts now. Chu Yixuan and Chu Yijing were usually on good terms, so why did Chu Yijing say that she was the flag she had arranged for him to be in the Xuan Prince's mansion?
Was he lying to her?
Or were the two of them not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface?
"You thought that Ji Yuqing was dead, but you didn't know that Chu Yixuan had been secretly sending people to look for Ji Yuqing?”
Her body could not take it anymore. She looked around and saw an old chair in the corner.
"Emperor, can you let me sit down first? My broken body can't stand anymore.”
Chu Yijing followed her gaze and saw the chair in the corner.
He ordered the guards behind him to carry it over.
"Can you tell me now?"
"Chu Yixuan sent people to search for Ji Yuqing's body, but they couldn't find any clues. Now, they're already guessing that the woman isn't dead, but they don't know where she is!”
"No wonder, I see that Yixuan has not been busy with the government recently. It turns out that his heart is on Yuqing!”
For some reason, Chu Yijing's expression changed drastically after hearing Situ Mantian's words. He seemed to be feeling a little guilty.
Although Situ Mantian didn't know why, he knew that the news wasn't completely worthless after seeing the change in his expression.
"How did you know? Did they find anything?”
Chu Yijing seemed to have thought of something and asked Situ Mantian hurriedly.
" You said it yourself. I've been in the Xuan Prince Manor for so long, so I naturally know some things. But as for what you said, did you find anything…"
She paused for a moment before continuing.
"The emperor locked me up in the imperial prison for several days. Even if they found out something, I don't know anything!”
"Looks like you're not stupid!"
Chu Yijing sneered at her words,""So, you think I should let you go back and continue to work for me?”
"Don't tell me the emperor doesn't think so?”
Situ Manyao was no longer in a hurry. She licked her lips and did not say anything else.
He didn't know what was going on in this prison. The longer he stayed, the more thirsty he became.
Now that she had mentioned a lot of people, her mouth was already dry.
Chu Yijing pondered for a long time before nodding in satisfaction.
"Wang Fei is right. You are still useful to me!”
Without waiting for Situ Mantian to speak, he announced.
"You can leave now, but don't forget the person you have. Don't think that you're safe just because you're out of this prison. If you do anything that makes zhen unhappy, zhen can still make you die without a complete corpse!”
Situ Manyao felt his body relax and he lost all consciousness.
These few days, there wasn't a single day that she wasn't tensed up.
The days in the imperial prison were not easy. If she were to enter the imperial prison again in the future, she would have to escape even if she had to use all her power.
At the very least, he would not sit here and wait like this.
Chu Yijing looked at Situ Mantiao, who was lying on the chair without any reaction, and narrowed his eyes.
"Send Xuan Wangfei to Lingyun Palace and call the imperial physician to take a look at her. This woman is still useful, we can't let her die so easily!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two guards behind her supported Situ Mantian and sent her to Lingyun Palace. They also summoned the imperial physician to treat her.
Chu Yijing stayed in the prison for a while and felt his body and mind getting more exhausted. He then returned to his bedroom to rest.
"Doctor Zhang, how is wangfei's condition?”
The maidservant Xiaonu looked at the pale-faced person lying on the hospital bed and asked expressionlessly.
Xiaonu was the personal maid of the former imperial concubine, but later on, the imperial concubine was vicious and wanted to harm the empress dowager, so she was executed!
"There are too many wounds on wangfei's body that are difficult to treat. If you want to heal, I'm afraid you can't rush it.”
Doctor Zhang naturally still remembered Situ Mantian. He had been a doctor his entire life and saved countless people, but this was the first time he had saved someone in the imperial prison.
"The old injuries on her body were almost healed, but she didn't expect new injuries to be added. The fatal new injuries caused the infection of the old injuries. Now that the new injuries and the old injuries are mixed together, it's too difficult to deal with them!”
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and sighed. He then walked to the table and picked up a brush.
"I'll write down the prescription, you go and write down the ingredients yourself. Drink it for wangfei, it's beneficial for her recovery.”
"Alright."
Xiaonu answered briskly. If she did not hear the imperial physician call her wangfei, she would have thought that she was the emperor's new favorite.
"Imperial Physician, when will wangfei wake up?”
"Very soon. The princess consort has a strong will to live. Although she has many injuries on her body, they are all superficial injuries.”
Xiaonu nodded and did not say anything else.
Doctor Zhang wrote the prescription and left after giving it to Xiaonu.
Xiaonu glanced at Situ Mantian. Her face was still pretty, but it had paled a lot because of this prison.
"Fortunately, the wounds are all on your body. Otherwise, your face would be ruined.”
Xiao Ni looked at her and could not help but think of her master. Before she died, she was also covered in injuries and had a weak will to live. In the end, she actually died at a young age.
"I don't know if wangfei really won't come. If the position of princess consort is empty again, I'm afraid there won't be any peaceful days in this fu!”
A servant girl dressed in servant clothes said to a woman of the same age beside her.
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
The woman beside her carefully looked around and only dared to speak after she found nothing wrong.
"You, you've been here for so long and you still don't know how to be careful. If the four madams hear your words, you'll be finished!”
The woman covered her lips in panic after hearing the warning from the person beside her. She realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"But speaking of which, why haven't I seen Lianxin recently? Isn't her relationship with wangfei always very good? Now that his master was in trouble, he had completely washed his hands of it!”
"No matter what, it's just a master-servant relationship. If the master is in trouble, she will definitely wash her hands of it!”
The two of them slowly walked forward. When they crossed the stone bridge, they inadvertently looked at the lake on the side.
"Look, what's that over there?" A slightly taller woman patted her companion beside her." Did someone's clothes fall in?”
"Where?"
His companion beside him looked over and saw what it was at a glance. He covered his mouth and cried out in fear!
"Isn't…isn't that a corpse?”
Then, she recalled the rising and falling screams…
The discovery of a corpse near the rockery quickly caused panic among the servants in the manor and spread to Chu Yixuan's ears.
He brought Ling Feng to the lakeside. The corpse had already been fished up and was covered with a white cloth.
"What happened?"
he asked in a low voice.
Ling Feng, who was beside him, also frowned hard as he looked at the corpse whose face was covered.
"Your highness…your highness, please spare my life. I don't know either. The two of us saw this corpse when we passed by!”
The two maidservants were so frightened that they did not know what to say. They stood together and hugged each other in fear.
Chu Yixuan didn't have the desire to continue listening and interrupted them.
"Who is she?"
"She…she is the princess consort's personal maid, Lian Xin!”
Because she married into the family with Situ Manyao, and although Situ Manyao was the princess consort of the residence, she was not favored, so Lian Xin did not have a good relationship with the people in the residence!
"What?"
Before Chu Yixuan could react, Ling Feng strode to the corpse and lifted the white cloth.
The screams around him rose and fell.
Because the corpse had been soaked in the water for a long time, its body had already started to swell slightly, and its original face could not be seen clearly.
Ling Feng did not expect such a thing to happen.
A few days ago, she had begged him bitterly, hoping that she could save her young miss.
Now, he was lying on the ground without a sound.
Ling Feng suddenly remembered Situ Mantian's protection. He heard that ever since she was beaten, she had been in the same room as the princess consort.
Although the relationship between the two of them was master and servant, he knew that the two of them depended on each other in the prince's residence.
However, he did not expect that both of them would…
"How did she die?"
Ling Feng's eyes flashed as he looked at the two maidservants.
"We don't know either. When the body was salvaged, we found that her clothes were not covering her body. There's nothing strange about it!”
Unclothed?
Ling Feng and Chu Yixuan looked at each other and frowned.
Could it be that she was raped by someone else?# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
