This queen is not too curly

Chapter 77 Why, Your Buddha Doesn't Bless You Anymore?
The wet Yan Yuan locked onto Chen Lingchen with her wet eyes, even her eyes were wet.

Her face was full of sincerity, but there was a hint of calmness hidden in her eyes. This reckless and reckless demeanor made Chen Ling's chest a little angry.

Yan Yuan.

He silently recited this displeased name in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought of at least ten punishments that would make her regret this daring act.

But after all, he still didn't speak.

She's drenched because of this stupid mushroom, cold idiot.

Yan Yuan blinked, stretched out her finger and pointed outside the cabin.

On the lakeside in the distance, dots of torches have been connected into a line, and the noise passed through the mist on the lake, and faintly spread to the ears of everyone in the cabin.

"Come here—catch the assassin!"

"Guard all the exits of the Imperial Garden!"

On the cabin, the little girl behind Yan Yuan shivered, and carefully hid her body behind Yan Yuan.

Obviously, she is the assassin.

The culprit of the chaos tonight.

Luo Ziqiu came out from behind Chen Lingshen, and asked, "May I ask you, is this...?"

Yan Yuan took the little girl's hand and led the trembling little girl under the light.

Everyone finally saw the true face of the "assassin" in front of them:
She looks young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, the clothes all over her body are ragged and out of shape, her hair is short, and there are a pair of wild eyes under the messy hair.

She looked at the emperor with vigilant but fearless eyes.

Such a person would obviously not be a maid in the palace.

Yan Yuan said softly: "She is 'Concubine Mei'."

Everyone was startled, and no one understood the meaning of Yan Yuan's words.

Yan Yuan suddenly shivered with her arms folded, and tremblingly asked Chen Lingshen for help: "Your Majesty, can I light a stove?"

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Yan Yuan said again: "The concubine can't be frozen, and the concubine can die easily."

Everyone's eyes fell on Yan Yuan's wet clothes, everyone's expression was hesitant to speak, and they could only torture her with their eyes:
So didn't you think about this problem when you jumped into the lake just now?

Yan Yuan pretended that she didn't see it, her eyes were wide open.

……

The stove used for torture in the cabin was turned into a charcoal stove dedicated to warming fire.

Yan Yuan stretched out her hand, flipped and baked it in the void, and finally let out a deep breath.

Chen Ling looked at Yan Yuan coldly.

The flames reflected Yan Yuan's face, and the waves of heat blew the hair around her cheeks into little curls.She narrowed her eyes, her face was full of ease and happiness, like a cat sunbathing.

Chen Ling looked away in disgust.

In the cabin, the little "Concubine Mei" dared not approach the stove.

That is not a stove for heating, it is a copper bottle filled with various soldering irons, it looks like a torture tool for extorting confessions!

The little girl shivered, found a safe place in the far corner and squatted down, her vigilant gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the cabin.

She trembled and said, "Is there...is there anyone older than Mr. Tu Shan here?"

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "Ignorant child, this is the current emperor!"

The little girl was startled by the sharp voice, and immediately hugged her head tightly and screamed, "Help—!"

Chen Ling looked at the old eunuch deeply and said, "Go out."

The old eunuch led the order to leave the cabin.

At this time, there were only a few people left in the cabin.

The leader of the gray cavalry, Luo Ziqiu, Chen Lingshen, and... the current empress who was roasting in the stove and getting carried away.

The old eunuch left, and the little girl's expression relaxed a lot.She whispered: "I'm not Concubine Mei. I went to the palace for more than a year to choose a maid. I didn't know I was too old until I entered the palace, so I wasn't selected."

Yan Yuan asked curiously: "Since you lost the election, why didn't you leave the palace?"

The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "Because someone took the medicine!"

That's a sensational story.

More than a year ago, the little girl happened to meet a group of businessmen who had returned to the imperial capital. From the businessmen, she learned that the palace was selecting maids for the palace.

The businessman described the days after entering the palace in a gaudy way, and praised the little girl in high spirits, saying that with her appearance, she must serve the empress closely after entering the palace, and maybe she was lucky enough to serve the emperor. If you are lucky enough to be spotted, you will really fly on a branch and become a phoenix.

The little girl was moved by hearing this, and followed the caravan into the imperial capital.

She wholeheartedly wanted to enter the palace as a palace maid, but she was stuck in the first round of screening.

She waited in line for three days before she reached the palace gate, but was told that she was over the age limit, and she was kicked out of the line without even entering the palace gate.

Yan Yuan asked: "Didn't enter the palace gate, why later..."

The little girl squatted on the ground, a dim light flashed in her eyes.

She said: "Because I bought an identity with that team of merchants."

She returned to the inn in desperation, but the businessman hadn't left yet, so it was a pity to hear what had happened to her.

"It's a pity that the girl looks outstanding!"

"If you can enter the palace, you won't have to suffer any more in this life. What a pity, what a pity!"

"It's the eldest brother who didn't inquire about the selection conditions, and the eldest brother feels very sorry."

The businessman sighed loudly in front of her. Seeing that her face was full of unwillingness, the businessman leaned his head into her ear and said softly to her, "Sister, you also know that the elder brother is in business, but the elder brother is in business." There is a way..."

The so-called doorway is to buy a new identity.

The little girl was obsessed with ghosts, took out her whole body, bought a false identity from a businessman, and then used that false identity to pass the primary election and successfully walked into the palace wall courtyard she had been fascinated for a long time.

"Later... I failed in the second round because of illiteracy..."

The little girl's body became stiff again, and her eyes showed a frightened light.

She thought it was the worst ending, all the money was gone, and the bamboo basket was empty, but she didn't expect that losing the election was the beginning of the nightmare.

Most of the unsuccessful people were directly rewarded with some broken silver and sent out of the palace. Only those whose names were called by the eunuch were left alone, and were led all the way to a secluded courtyard. Everyone was rewarded with a bowl of silver fungus soup.

The eunuch's eyes flashed with a scorching light, and he informed the unsuccessful people present.

"The manpower in the palace has been tight for the past two years. Although you are not selected, your qualifications are acceptable. If you train more, you may be able to retain your employment."

"This bowl of tremella soup is a gift from the empress in the palace, it's cheap, you can wait."

Everyone who lost the election was ecstatic and couldn't wait to drink the white fungus soup in front of him.

Only the little girl was trembling with the soup in her hand, not daring to take a sip.

After all, she is different from them. She was born in the wild, so she could smell the smell of the bowl of white fungus soup—it was the smell of Mongolian sweat medicine.

The little girl secretly poured the tremella soup into her collar, then returned the empty bowl to the eunuch, and then slowly walked into the temporary room following the eunuch's guidance.Sure enough, before they reached the door, they began to pass out one after another. The little girl pretended to pass out together in desperation.

"and then?"

Yan Yuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked anxiously.

"I heard...their leader is an eunuch named Eunuch Tu Shan...they want to lock us up first, and sell us to the palace after half a year, to those dignitaries with special hobbies."

"I... I ran away in the dark...there were too many of them, I had nowhere to escape, and accidentally broke into the Plum Garden..."

The little girl raised her head, with frightened eyes flashing in her eyes, obviously it was because of that memory that she was still terrified.

Yan Yuan was a little confused: "Why do you have to wait half a year?"

The first half of her story sounds very much like the conspiracy between Mr. Tu Shan and the caravan to abduct and sell some good-looking young girls by selecting court ladies.But how dangerous it is to hide people in the palace, why take the risk of hiding people for half a year before making a move?

Yan Yuan couldn't figure it out.

There was no sound in the cabin, only the light of candles flickered faintly, and the oppressive atmosphere gradually spread.

Suddenly, a soft voice sighed.

That was Luo Ziqiu. He walked up to the little girl, raised her face with a fan, and said calmly, "Because if a citizen of the Yan Kingdom has been missing for more than half a year, the government will revoke their names and treat them as dead."

Selling his native place, regarded as...death?
Yan Yuan took a deep breath.

She finally understood that the caravan selected girls who did not comply with the regulations because they wanted to abduct them to buy fake identities. If they bought new identities to enter the palace for selection, they would not leave their real names. Even if the family found the palace, the palace would not There will be no documentation.

They were detained in the palace for half a year because they wanted to make the family members who were looking for them despair, and let the government find no trace. In the end, after half a year, their names were erased in the name of death...

Is there anything more hidden in this world than the inner garden of the palace?
Who dares to enter the palace to follow?

After half a year, these girls will become black households through and through.

For people without names, even if they escaped at the buyer's house, how many of them can explain what happened to them?And who would believe it?

……

In the cabin, the atmosphere of silence spread.

The little girl had recovered from her panic, and kowtowed heavily to Chen Lingchen and Yan Yuan: "Your Majesty, Empress, please help us!"

Her expression was anxious: "It doesn't matter if you can't be rescued, as long as, as long as you can save the baby, the baby has a fever... The baby is... born by a sister-in-law who escaped... She hasn't eaten for three days , I beg you to find a doctor to take a look..."

She kowtowed one by one.

Soon his forehead was red and bloodstained.

Chen Ling frowned deeply, and his eyes fell on Luo Ziqiu.

Luo Ziqiu understood, helped her up and comforted her softly: "Stupid child, the chief eunuch is just a mere head eunuch, of course the Holy Majesty can manage it."

The little girl said anxiously: "But baby..."

Luo Ziqiu smiled: "I'm the doctor. It's not yet dawn. I'll accompany you to see the baby."

The little girl showed a troubled expression: "But..."

Luo Ziqiu understood, smiled and said, "If they don't want to, then I'll wait at the gate of the plum garden, and you go and take the baby out, how about that?"

His eyes were gentle and his voice was soft and gentle, as if he had a convincing force naturally.

The little girl was stunned for a while, then nodded, and obediently followed Luo Ziqiu out of the cabin.

Yan Yuan: ...

So she spent so long exploring, blew so many cold winds, gave so many snacks, and finally escaped and dived in exchange for such a little bit of trust... This guy just needs a few words?

Yan Yuan felt humiliated.

This kind of talent should go to see Bo Ying. Before the war, if he persuaded the enemy camp, he might persuade the enemy to surrender. For the sake of the country and the people, it will benefit the people!
……

The leader of the gray cavalry exited the cabin at some point, and only Yan Yuan and Chen Lingchen were left in the cabin.

Yan Yuan's clothes were already half dry, and some messy thoughts were stuck in her head, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in her consciousness, she was a little dizzy and confused.

Suddenly, she felt a cold illusion on her back.

She froze for a moment, turned her head slowly, and met a pair of quiet eyes.

That was Chen Lingchen.

He sat not far from her, staring at the center of her brow with deep eyes, but his eyes were extremely light, as if the water in the lotus pond in early summer was soaked with a little warmth.

Eyes met.

A strange illusion flashed in Yan Yuan's mind.

Chen Ling denounced him... It seems that he is not as fierce as usual?
Such a weird thought just flashed by, and the next moment Yan Yuan noticed that Chen Ling's calm eyes soon overflowed with a trace of disgust.

In early summer, the lotus pond was instantly frozen.

Only the north wind whizzed past, and blew cold and mocking words: "Shouldn't the empress copy scriptures at the Buddha Bone Pagoda at this time? Why, the Buddha showed his spirit and sent the empress to the imperial garden?"

Yan Yuan: "..."

She was wrong.

It's really wrong.

There shouldn't have been such a momentary illusion just now, thinking that this dog has suddenly changed its nature.

He obviously has a more poisonous mouth and a more animal personality, okay?

She really chose the wrong club!
She's going to hug the queen mother's thigh tightly!

Then cried and apologized to her and called her mother!

Yan Yuan took a deep breath, with a false smile on the corner of her mouth, and was about to try her best to win the round, but before she could speak, she heard a slight sound from her stomach.

"Cuckoo-"

In the dead of night, a needle can be heard in the cabin.

The small voice echoed around, and it was extremely ear-piercing.

"..."

"........."

Yan Yuan's face was not flushed, her heart was not beating, and she raised her head frankly.

Anyway, the matter has come to this point, the face has been lost, and there is no point in entanglement.

Her eyes turned around in the cabin, and her eyes lit up when she saw some pastries and drinks on the tea table next to Chen Ling's sinking throne.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is hungry."

Chen Ling remained silent.

Yan Yuan assumed that he agreed, she stepped forward to pick up the plate, and returned to the stove, chewing slowly while moving the stool without showing any trace.

Chen Ling's eyes were heavy and his face was full of sarcasm.

Yan Yuan glanced away from the corner of her eye, and then moved the phone a little further away.

Chen Ling looked at her indifferently, with a slight sarcasm in his voice: "Why, the queen's Buddha didn't bless the queen to eat?"

Her Buddha.

Yan Yuan sighed while eating.

The Buddha has a good heart, but he is fickle.

Yan Yuan hugged the pastry and buried herself in eating.

Chen Ling stared contemptuously at Yan Yuan's wet hair from the corner of his eyes, and stared at her for a long time. He frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Yan Yuan."

Yan Yuan didn't raise her head: "Huh?"

Chen Ling was silent for a moment before saying, "What are you doing in Meiyuan?"

What are you going to do in Plum Garden?

That's a really good question.

Yan Yuan raised her head and looked at Chen Lingchen.

She was not at all surprised that Chen Lingchen would ask such a question. He was sensitive and suspicious, and his whole body was full of eyes. It would be a ghost if he didn't ask. She even thought of the standard answer a long time ago.

She looked at him, staring openly into Chen Ling's dark eyes.

Then she smiled at the Dog Emperor, and told him softly, "Of course I'm going... to pay respects to Concubine Mei."

Soft sound, like cotton falling to the ground.

She managed to see the astonishment flashing across Chen Lingchen's eyes.
