Chapter 83
"It's not that I don't want to escape, but that the time to escape has not yet come."

Su Qianxue murmured, and then her eyes drifted into the distance, so far away, as far away as she didn't know her future fate.

When Murong Xiran left the Longhua Palace, she immediately changed her face.

The smile on her face gradually subsided, and in the end it was eerie, she did not go back to her bedroom directly, but came outside Chengqian Palace.

Standing between the palace walls and the aisle, she turned her ears sideways and through the palace wall, eavesdropping on the children's laughter coming from the palace.

After a while, the originally gloomy face suddenly became murderous, and the pointed fingers also pinched into the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty, the master of Longhua Palace will not eat the fine wine when toasting, what should we do next?" Zhang Jin asked cautiously, observing Murong Xiran's expression.

"Bengong had expected that she and Longli would play a bitter trick together. The matter was not completed, so how could she be willing to leave the palace!" Murong Xiran snorted coldly, then gritted her teeth and said, "Bengong really regrets not prescribing that chicken soup. Otherwise, she would have gone to the Temple of the King of Hell at this time!"

As she said that, she suddenly saw a figure walking out of Chengqian Palace, Murong Xiran's voice paused, and her purple eyes flashed.

"Who is she? How can she freely enter and leave Chengqian Hall?" Murong Xiran frowned in confusion and asked displeased.

Zhang Jin squinted his eyes, glanced at it from a distance, and then lowered his head and replied: "My lady, it's Tong Qingyun from the imperial kitchen, the imperial chef who was almost exiled from the palace by the emperor yesterday, and later begged for mercy because of the twins." Instead, it was a blessing in disguise, and she alone took care of the twins' diet."

"So it's her?" Murong Xiran suddenly smiled sinisterly, "It's really God's help!"

Turn around, take a step, and don't forget to say when you leave, "Take her to Yonghe Palace."

Tong Qingyun was finishing delivering the two young masters' favorite snacks, when he was stopped not far from Chengqian Palace.

"Zhang... Eunuch Zhang?" Zhang Jin, who is the eunuch in charge of the queen, who doesn't know him?
Seeing Tong Qingyun's surprised face, Zhang Jin said in a strange tone: "Tong Qingyun, the empress wants to see you, please come with our house!"

Hearing the word queen, Tong Qingyun's face turned pale immediately.

"Let's go! Why are you standing there in a daze? This is it?" Seeing that Tong Qingyun didn't know how to react, Zhang Jin waved his head as a signal.

Tong Qingyun took a step back intuitively, trembling her lips and said defensively: "Zhang... Father-in-law, I don't know what important matter the empress needs to summon the servant? The servant is just a small royal cook, and she is stupid and can't do anything. The servant ..."

"You'll know it when you go, why bother to ask?" Zhang Jin interrupted with a sullen face, threatening: "If you don't leave, the queen has been waiting for a long time. Once the blame comes down, our family can't bear it!"

Tong Qingyun still wanted to refuse, but the little eunuch behind Zhang Jin put his arms up.

"You..." Tong Qingyun began to struggle.

"Let's go, Tong Qingyun, if you do something good for your mother, you will benefit, but if you do something wrong with your mother, you should know what the consequences will be?" Zhang Jin pulled up his sleeves, smiled ferociously, and said deliberately: "There are always a few new skeletons added to the mass grave every year. One more skeleton doesn't seem too much?"

Hearing this, Tong Qingyun's struggling movements were abruptly stopped, and then his whole body became limp, and he could only let himself be dragged away.

Yes, she was afraid of death, because she couldn't afford to die, and there were relatives at home.

"Should have been so obedient a long time ago, wouldn't this save you a lot of worry?" Zhang Jin looked at Tong Qingyun who seemed lost without saying a word, and was finally satisfied now.

"Your Majesty!"

With a shout, Tong Qingyun was kicked on both knees.

Tong Qingyun crouched on the ground in fear, not daring to raise his head, his whole body was shaking.

"Tong Qingyun, with a 12-year-old mother and a [-]-year-old brother, lives in Laoren County and makes a living by selling sesame seed cakes. Life is hard, and earning a little money can help fill his stomach..." Zhang Jin opened the harem to the bottom roster, read aloud.

"Please don't hurt my family, Qingyun is willing to do anything, but please let Qingyun's family survive!" Tong Qingyun cried and begged with a look of despair, then kowtowed: "Please let the family go!"

Tong Qingyun didn't know what to do next, this high-ranking, superficially mother-in-law woman wanted her to do something, but when she heard Zhang Jinnian's own life experience, she knew that this empress would use her family to threaten her to do something unseemly It's a bad thing that hurts people and harms nature.

Knowing that kowtow would not dissuade this woman, she kept kowtowing until her forehead was covered with bloodstains, just thinking that she could bring peace to her family.

Murong Xiran, who was sitting in the phoenix chair, took a small sip from the teacup, then raised her eyelids and glanced at Tong Qingyun who was crying miserably, and said displeasedly: "Why, in your eyes, is Ben Gong such a kind-hearted woman?" Femme fatale?"

"Yes..." Tong Qingyun was startled, shook his head in a hurry, and said incoherently: "No... no, the empress is dignified and virtuous..."

The corner of Murong Xiran's mouth raised a sneer, and he handed the teacup to the waiter beside him and said solemnly: "Is that so? What? Are you cold? Otherwise, how could you shake like this?"

"Slave..." Tong Qingyun didn't dare to raise her head, but she heard the woman sitting on the phoenix chair stand up suddenly, and then saw a pair of gold silk embroidered shoes.

It turned out that Murong Xiran had already walked in front of her.

Just as he didn't know how to answer the pressing question, his jaw was raised by two pointed fingers.That magnificent face was close at hand, and those purple eyes were also shining with a bewitching purple light towards her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if I don't look closely, this face is still pretty, and the skin is so tender!" Murong Xiran laughed inexplicably, "It's just a pity that I stayed in a place like the imperial dining room. A beautiful woman will also smell of oil all over her body, and she will not be able to become a climate!"

"My lady..."

Tong Qingyun didn't understand what these words meant, and when he heard them again, Murong Xiran asked in a startling way: "Have you ever thought about becoming a concubine?"

Tong Qingyun was astonished, her face was deathly gray, she was forced to look up, and replied: "I don't dare, I know my fate is cheap, I never dare to think about it."

"But why did I hear that in order to attract the emperor's attention, you deliberately played tricks in the dishes?" Murong Xiran let go of Tong Qingyun's jaw abruptly, but ordered: "Come on, stick your fingers! Tell her to be tough!"

Finger piercing means that all ten fingers are pierced with silver needles at the same time, and the ten fingers are connected to the heart, so that the punished can feel the pain beyond living.

"Ah... don't... this servant didn't seduce the emperor, your empress is clear!" Tong Qingyun screamed, the imperial chef not only needs a tongue with a good taste, but also a pair of skillful hands with a knife.Once the needle is inserted, her hand is equivalent to useless.

In fact, Murong Xiran didn't really want someone to pierce her fingers, she just wanted to show off her power and let the other party obediently do things for her.Suddenly there was a small medicine bottle in his hand, and then he stuffed it into Tong Qingyun's hand, and said darkly: "Since you said you didn't seduce the emperor, then let me see your sincerity, there is blood sealing your throat inside." Poison, poisoning food should be easy for you."

Tong Qingyun shook her hand, holding the poison, feeling like falling into hell...

Like a wandering soul, Tong Qingyun drifted back to the imperial dining room.

She didn't know how she got back, but she only knew that at this moment, her mind was full of images of Murong Xiran persecuting her, as well as the faces of the old lady kissing her young brother.The two images are constantly interlacing...interlacing...

Because she was out of her mind, Si Shan called her and didn't react.

"Qingyun, do you think of what to do for lunch, little masters?" Si Shan repeated it patiently, and then pulled Tong Qingyun back to his sanity.

"Ah... Si Shan, what did you say?" Tong Qingyun tugged at the hem of his clothes uncomfortably.

Si Shan narrowed his eyes, and seeing that Tong Qingyun was hiding something on his mind, he sighed understandingly: "I know you were frightened yesterday, but you were so absent-minded, there is no guarantee that you will not make mistakes again. Fortunately, the two little masters pleaded for you yesterday, But if you go on a business trip in the future, there is no guarantee that you will be safe and sound."

"Qingyun understands..." Tong Qingyun's eyes turned red, and only then did he think of two beautiful and lovely faces.

The two little masters treated her like a benefactor, how could she have the heart to do it, how could she be cruel?
Si Shan didn't know what Tong Qingyun was thinking, but he just told him: "The weather is hot and humid recently, and the young masters overeat again yesterday, and it is inevitable that they will be anorexic in the future. For today's lunch, I will cook some light and appetizing dishes. The little masters are happy..."

Tong Qingyun watched Si Shan's lips move, but couldn't hear any sound.

On the contrary, Murong Xiran's last words are still in his ears, every word is like a sharp blade, killing people like invisible.

"I will give you half a day, and I will see the results at night! I will not treat you badly if the matter is done, but if it is not done well, you will wait for your family to collect the body." This is when she was about to leave. Time, Murong Xiran's deadline.

If it was possible, she really hoped that someone could cook lunch for the two little masters, so that she would not be the executioner who would revenge her kindness.

At noon, when Bu Yichen was still in the imperial study, Tong Qingyun brought a few court ladies and finally entered Chengqian Palace with lunch in their hands.

The closer he got to the two little masters who were sitting in the palace boredly counting their fingers and calculating how to leave Chengqian Hall, the faster Tong Qingyun's heart beat and his body trembled.The bowls on the tray in his hand made the faint sound of clanging and clanging.
