The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 182 The Queen's Death
Since seeing Ruan Fu that day, Ruan Shu has never seen Ruan Fu again.

She was still locked in the original room, in the dark, and she didn't know what was going on outside, but she became more and more doubtful whether Ruan Fu really wanted to know what the man told her.

Amid such doubts, she gradually became uneasy.

She doesn't know where this house is, but all the doors and windows here are stared dead, and the light outside can't get in at all. In the two days after Ruan Fu left, Ruan Shu still had it every day. She is so energetic, this endless darkness seems to be in the night forever, there is no white night, like hell, it makes her feel scared and flustered, no one talks, and she doesn't even know who brought the food when, those people What she couldn't see, she didn't want to eat, but in the end she couldn't stand the hunger.

She felt that she knew how the queen died, Ruan Fu or Yu Wujue would not let her die at least now, but when she threatened to die, she found that no one cared about her at all.

Under such circumstances, she panicked even more.

Ruan Shu sat at the corner of the bed, staring blankly at this dark place, the feeling that she was on the verge of collapse, as if any shock could make her collapse instantly, making her feel that she was no longer alone , but a thing that is neither human nor ghost.

The sound of "Zhi Zhi Zhi" suddenly sounded in the room, but it did not know where it came from. Ruan Shu was startled, and the person curled up on the bed seemed to have been frightened, and moved suddenly.

She wasn't sure what sound she really heard. After the strange creaking sound, the room was so quiet that she could hear the sound of a needle falling. Ruan Shu listened intently for a while, her restless heart slowly After putting it down, I suddenly heard the sound of something being turned in the room, again and again, urgently and quickly.

But she didn't know where the sound came from in the room, and the sound became more and more clear, like a pair of hands she couldn't see, pulling these things without any scruples in the dark, and then Like a ghost, invisible, intangible, as if the next moment, something that doesn't know what it is will approach the chair.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She shrank back and forth into the bed, but the sound disappeared for a while, until she felt that something was touching her feet.

Ruan Shu screamed, "Ah—"

She rolled off the bed almost at the same time as she screamed, unable to see the direction in the darkness, she could only rush forward desperately according to her memory, "Help, help—"

"I want to see Ruan Fu, I want to see Ruan Fu..."

She cried and yelled, rolled out of the bed and went forward, slapping the window and the door, "I said, help me, I, I want to see Ruan Fu...I want to see Ruan Fu...I said, I can say anything..."

She was already on the verge of collapse, and the sound of beating on the door was urgent and hard, with a crying voice.

Until he fainted because he couldn't bear the fright.

When Ruan Shu woke up again, she was no longer in the original dark room, but in a brighter room that didn't look particularly good.

Seeing the light suddenly, she seemed to see hope, her face was pale, there was no trace of blood on her face, the clothes on her body had been changed, and she didn't seem to have such an unpleasant smell in the small dark room for a few days However, Ruan Shu still felt cold all over her body.

She didn't have much strength in her body, but she couldn't help shivering when she thought of everything in the small black room before.

She was the only one in this room, but the doors and windows were not completely closed, and she could see the profile of the person guarding the door.

There were footsteps coming in from outside, Ruan Shu heard the sound and looked up, but what appeared in front of her was not Ruan Fu, but Yu Wujue, and behind Yu Wujue, there was another person, not like Yu Wujue. Jue didn't have any obvious expression on his face, but looked at her with extreme disgust, it was Yu Wuhen.

The person guarding Ruan Shu was Yu Wujue, so when Ruan Shu was on the verge of collapse, it was Yu Wujue who got the news.

The little tricks Ruan Shu wanted to play, in his opinion, were naturally not enough to watch. These days, he was busy dealing with the affairs of the court, so he made her suffer here. This person once wanted to treat Ruan Shu No matter how much information she knows, in the end, there is only one way to die waiting for Ruan Shu. It's just whether the way of death is pleasure or torture, it just depends on whether the information she provides can hold her own life.

Yu Wujue didn't have any expression on his face, it was the gentle and elegant look that he often saw in the past, but now, because of the affairs of the Gaoche family in the court, he had been crushed a lot, he was dressed like a king of Jin When she appeared at the door in a python suit and a golden crown with black hair, she only glanced at Ruan Shu, looking at her embarrassed appearance, as if she was looking at something disgusting.

When Ruan Shu faced Ruan Fu, she still had the courage to be angry and angry, but when facing Yu Wujue, she dared not have half-parting thoughts.

It's just that she looked at Yu Wujue with a little shyness in her eyes, she really didn't want to go back to that place again, the feeling that life was worse than death, probably nothing more than that.

Yu Wuhen followed behind Yu Wujue, and what happened that night at Ruan Fu's house during the New Year's Eve dinner made him feel thrilled. Later, he did not enter the palace, but was arranged by Yu Wujue to deal with Ruan Shu, The people that King Wen and even King Xuan had contacted during that period of time.

She also heard about Ruan Shu's affairs, and today he followed Yu Wujue into the palace to deal with matters, and later heard someone report that Ruan Shu had something to say, so he followed Yu Wujue over here.

Glancing at Ruan Shu, Yu Wuhen sneered, "I said it earlier, so I wouldn't suffer as much as today, why bother?"

Yu Wuhen's words made Ruan Shu shiver for a while, she was not as afraid of Yu Wuhen as she was afraid of Yu Wujue, but now she didn't dare to refute.

Yu Wujue glanced at Ruan Shu, and then sat down on a chair far away from her, "I will give you time, either tell what you know, or continue to go back to that place, but if you go back, just go back I'm afraid it's not just what you've experienced today."

Yu Wuhen also hooked his lips and said, "My prince knows many small ways of punishing people among the people. It's very interesting to watch. For example, sharing a den with a poisonous snake, sharing a room with a wild wolf..."

He relished it like a treasure, but every time he said something, Ruan Shu shrank for a while.

Until Ruan Shu couldn't take it anymore, she suddenly screamed like a collapse, "Don't say it, don't say it, don't, I don't want to go back, I said, I said..."

Yu Wujue glanced at Yu Wuhen, and then Yu Wuhen touched his nose, a bit self-deprecating, this person is afraid of a dark room and a few mice, how could he do such a thing, just looking at him During this period of time, I was probably really scared, and I couldn't stand the fear anymore.

Yu Wuhen didn't say any more, but Ruan Shu's heart was still beating like a drum. The things Yu Wuhen said seemed to appear in front of her one scene after another. The way the body was dismembered, even the hand on the side was tightly pinching his dress, and he couldn't help but want to tremble.

Yu Wuhen glanced at him, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "In that case, let's talk about it."

"If... if I say so, lord, can you spare my life?"

Yu Wujue seemed to laugh, "Forgive your life, I will choose how to die for you."

Ruan Shu trembled subconsciously, she still wanted to say something, but obviously Yu Wujue didn't intend to give her too much patience, "If you still want to make conditions with me, I don't have so much time, you want Hurt Ruan'er, there is only one ending, if you don't say...no chess."

Yu Wujue stood up, Wuqi heard the voice, and immediately appeared at the door, "My lord."

Yu Wuju glanced at Ruan Shu, "Take it back, and do whatever you want."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to step out.

Ruan Shu lost her voice, "Doesn't the prince want to know the truth about the queen's death?"

Yu Wujue glanced at her, sneered, and walked away.

Yu Wuhen glanced at Yu Wujue silently, and was about to step up and follow him out.

Seeing this, Ruan Shu tightened her fingers, looked at Yu Wujue who was about to turn around, saw Yu Wujue's figure was about to disappear around the corner of the door, she suddenly collapsed, "I said, I say!"

Seeing this, Wuqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since that's the case, why did he torture himself like that in the first place.

Even Yu Wuhen looked at Ruan Shu sympathetically and shook his head.

Just like what she told Ruan Fu that day, Ruan Shu told about her leaving the house.Yu Wuhen didn't know that Ruan Shu and Ruan Fu had said these things that day, he was still listening, but...

Yu Wujue finally put down the teacup impatiently, the teacup collided with the table, there was a bang, and Ruan Shu, who was so frightened, paused and shrank on the spot.

"I don't want to talk about it, and I don't need to waste time with this king."

As he said that he had already stood up, Ruan Shu was shocked, and hurriedly said, "The death of the empress is caused by His Royal Highness King Jin!"

It's okay if she doesn't say anything, but when she speaks, she speaks surprisingly, Yu Wujue stops, turns her head, and glances at Ruan Shu expressionlessly, but Ruan Shu's face is pale, as if afraid that Yu Wujue will immediately Just kill yourself.

Even Yu Wuhen, who was following beside him, frowned tightly.

Ruan Shu was still watching the two cautiously, Yu Wujue sat down again, Yu Wuhen glanced at Yu Wujue, turned his head and frowned and asked, "Why do you say that the Queen's death is related to King Jin?"

Ruan Shu said tremblingly, "The man said that the empress is a very smart person, and there are not many people close to her, especially after she and her majesty experienced battlefield killings in the early years and were plotted against, she became more vigilant. The Empress is surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who are close to the Chonghua Palace, and the maids and nuns are also trained by the Empress. If you want to attack the Empress, you can't find any method, it is even more impossible to start from His Majesty, so, so, the one who is still living with the Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness Jin Wang who was still young at that time is the best outlet."

She finished speaking almost in one breath, Yu Wujue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Ruan Shu coldly, but Ruan Shu's heart was pounding when he saw her, and she felt that the pressure brought by Yu Wujue's eyes at this time was not enough. Yayu felt the panic and fear he felt in the dark room before.

The little black room seemed to stimulate Ruan Shu's emotions all the time.

Hearing these words, Yu Wuhen subconsciously glanced at Yu Wujue, but saw that although there was no emotional fluctuation on Yu Wujue's face, he noticed that his hand holding the teacup was already pale with fingertips. Bai, the teacup has been shattered into pieces in his hands, but not a single drop of water has emerged.

He couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Looking at Ruan Shu, his eyes became a little colder, "How does the other party use the fourth brother to attack the empress?"

Ruan Shu shook her head vigorously, "I, I'm not sure, he didn't say it clearly. At that time, when he was talking about the past, he seemed to think of something very happy and mentioned it to me. It was me, it was me. When he suspected that doing so would not kill Ruan Fu, he told me that the relationship between the death of the empress and the Gu worms of the Gaoche tribe, he only, only said yes, was using people in the palace to hurt King Jin , and then put the Gu worms on the King Jin, and then through the contact between the King Jin and the Empress, lead the Gu worms to the Empress."

With a "click", the teacup in Yu Wujue's hand shattered in response, a cup full of tea was stained on his hand through the shattered teacup, and also fell on the dark skirt in front of him, but he But it's like it's unheard of.

Yu Wuhen was startled, "How do you want my prince to believe that what you are telling is the truth?"

"I don't know, I don't know if what the man said is true, he just said that, I just remembered his words! I, I really don't know."

In fact, Yu Wuhen also knew that it was unnecessary for him to ask this question, but he couldn't help it when he saw the expression on the fourth brother's face. He subconsciously felt that the empress was not poisoned by the fourth brother, but Ruan Shu was just conveying the other party's words By.

However, looking at the expression of the fourth brother, Yu Wuhen's heart became entangled, because the expression of the fourth brother told him that maybe what Ruan Shu said was true, the fourth brother was really injured during that time, and later The empress empress fell into those things.

Yu Wuhen felt that his heart was in a panic, as if he wanted to find something to vent violently, and when he thought of those people who had been picked up these days, he wished, wished that they would all be burned up, and none of them would be left behind, so that their so-called high cars would be destroyed. Clan, to hell!
He said harshly, "What else, how they have existed in the palace for many years, how they are connected, how they work, tell me all about it!"

Ruan Shu didn't dare to look at Yu Wujue. The sound of the teacup shattering just now made her feel as if it was a bone in her own neck that was shattered. When the late emperor was still there, he had already started to make plans in the palace, and gradually came in from outside the palace in the form of maids and eunuchs. From one or two people, he gradually grew stronger, and secretly turned some of the palace maids into his own people. , how it changed, that person didn't say, I, I don't know, he only said that people who enter the palace only need to do what the palace ladies should do, and usually don't need to do anything, as long as they have a plan When the time comes, they will inform the people who are going to do things, which people, they don't communicate with each other, and they don't know who and who are their companions around them..."

"Chong, Chonghua Palace is the Queen's bedroom. He said that before His Majesty ascended the throne, Chonghua Palace had buried their people secretly..."

Ruan Shu spoke intermittently, her expression was a bit messy, as if she was trying her best to recall what the man said at the beginning, and said whatever came to mind, but in Yu Wujue's ears, she could piece together a complete thing.

At least it can be said that the Gaoche tribe has already started to plan and plan, and they are very confident, and put their own people into the deep palace step by step. There are very few of them, so they can only choose this method, trying to escape Starting with controlling the emperor of a country, and then controlling the entire country, and then swinging the knife to the land of the Central Plains.

"Back then, 20 years ago, there was great chaos in the court, your Majesty was burdened by state affairs, and the empress's mother's family was also severely damaged. The prince, still, was still young, and he was still living with the empress in Chonghua Palace. They thought that if something happened to His Majesty at that time, even if the court supported one of them as a prince at will, they could control the situation... and hold the power in their own hands..."

While talking, Ruan Shu couldn't help but look up at Yu Wujue. Although Yu Wujue didn't have any special expression, she still felt cold all over her body.

Yu Wujue didn't say a word, but if he looked carefully, he could see the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes.

Yu Wuhen was startled, "Who do they want to support?"

Ruan Shu shook her head violently, "I, I don't know, I really don't know, they just said that, just like casually."

Yu Wuhen pursed her lips, "They are in the palace, is there anyone in charge?"

The farther to the back, Yu Wuhen and Yu Wujue's expressions were indifferent, and it was such an indifferent expression that made Ruan Shu feel more and more uneasy.

"I don't know. He only told me about the empress's death and Gao Chezu Gu poison, and nothing else. But, he said, don't worry, the palace has already made arrangements. With a plan, let me act with confidence, and their master will also provide me with what I want."

"His Royal Highness, Twelve Princes, I know, I've said it all, I've said it all, my lord, don't send me back to that dark room again, I don't want to go..."

Yu Wujue didn't pay attention to Ruan Shu, but just sat on the chair, thinking about something.

Seeing this, Yu Wuhen also quietly stopped saying anything. At this time, he didn't know what to say. Being able to pry these things out of Ruan Shu's mouth was already an unexpected gain, otherwise, they might have to spend more experience to resolve this issue.

Just thinking of what Ruan Shu said just now, Yu Wuhen felt that instead of knowing such news, it would be better to keep looking for it forever.

Ruan Shu was still sobbing and crying, but Yu Wujue suddenly stood up and went outside.

Seeing this, Yu Wuhen hurriedly followed, and Ruan Shu behind her saw this, and did not forget to hiss and ask Yu Wujue to let her go, so she didn't want to die, and so on.

But among the people walking in front, who else looked back at her?
And when Yu Wuhen came out, Yu Wujue was nowhere to be seen, his brows were deeply frowned, and he was also very anxious.

He couldn't help but hurriedly ordered the people next to him, "Go to Tongzhi's mansion and invite Ruan Tongzhi to enter the palace."

-

On the other side, in Yaohua Palace, Concubine Zhen has been imprisoned for a long time. Two days ago, there was a big disturbance in Yaohua Palace, and four or five people from the Gaoche clan were pulled out from her palace. She didn't know All the gates of the palaces outside were hunting people down, and they thought that only their own palace had found people.

After being imprisoned for a long time, she has become numb.

Unexpectedly, outside the palace gate, there was the sound of palace people saluting. As soon as she heard the sound, she ran out in a hurry, only to see King Jin appearing at the gate of Yaohua Palace alone.

Concubine Zhen almost didn't think about it, so she rushed up and shouted, "I really didn't kill the king, I didn't kill the king, King Xuan is innocent, King Xuan is innocent!"

But of course she couldn't touch Yu Wujue, and before she could meet Yu Wujue, she was stopped by the people around Yu Wujue.

This is the first time Concubine Zhen has seen Yu Wujue since she was under confinement. Her eyes were scarlet, and she was restrained from getting close to Yu Wujue. Let me go, let me go!"

While struggling, she shook off the person who was holding her up.

Yu Wujue cast a look at the person who was holding up Concubine Zhen, and the person who was holding Concubine Zhen let her go, and Concubine Zhen stared at Yu Wujue viciously, "It was you, you framed Lin'er, Yu Wujue, you framed this palace's son, you are afraid that he will steal His Majesty's throne from you!"

Yu Wujue stood a foot away from Concubine Zhen, looked at the crazy Concubine Zhen with a calm expression, and said, "Yu Wulin is currently being imprisoned in Prince Xuan's mansion, since you said that this king is going to frame him, I will let you Take a look, how will this king frame him?"

Concubine Zhen's original excitement was instantly relieved in Yu Wujue's flat tone, and the original struggle and screaming gradually disappeared in Yu Wujue's words.

Her face suddenly lost all color, and she shook her head vigorously, "No, no, you have something to do to me, don't do anything to King Xuan, please..."

Concubine Zhen looked sad and fearful, she kept shaking her head, begging for Yu Wujue.

Yu Wujue's face darkened slightly, "How did you know about the queen when you were in the palace?"

Yu Wujue threatened Concubine Zhen with Yu Wulin's life, and Concubine Zhen couldn't possibly not be afraid, and at this moment, she didn't dare to do anything else, as if to prove something, she said anxiously, "Yes, yes Menger, yes, it was Menger, it was Menger who told me."

"When will I tell you?" Yu Wujue asked.

Concubine Zhen didn't have to think about it at all, and said, "Just three days after the royal edict and Ruan Fu's marriage decree came down, Meng'er came back from the palace one day and told this palace that it was the queen's matter back then, and there might be other things. Hidden feelings, I was discussing with some old palace people, saying that the empress did not die from poisoning, but because she was controlled by others, so I went to find the old palace people in the palace and asked about the past..."

Concubine Zhen spoke intermittently.

At first, like all the people in the palace who were informed, she believed that the queen died of poisoning. Later, on that day, Meng'er told her that some old palace people said that this was not the case, but because of being poisoned. The worms are under control, she doesn't understand such things as Gu worms, but Meng'er said that in her hometown, there are legends about Gu worms, how powerful and terrifying those things are.Later, she went to the old palace to verify it. Although she couldn't provide much evidence to prove it was true, she already believed it in her heart. However, she still didn't understand why Emperor Yuanchang was so secretive about it until... ...When Yu Wulin told her the news she got outside the palace, she felt that everything was God's will. It was God's will to let Ruan Fu get into this kind of trouble, and it was also God's will to make Yu Wujue lose such arm power .

It's just that she didn't expect...

Thinking of the current failure, Concubine Zhen only felt that her head was in chaos, and she didn't know how things turned into this way.

It is clear that Ruan Phuc belongs to the Gaoche clan, and it is obvious that His Majesty hates the Gaoche clan.

Yu Wujue looked at Concubine Zhen expressionlessly, "Has anyone else in the palace contacted you?"

As soon as the words came out, Concubine Zhen looked at Yu Wujue in shock.

A sneer flashed across Yu Wuju's eyes. Anyone who mentioned the Gaoche tribe's Gu worms would be shocked, even if they were not shocked, they should react. On the other hand, Concubine Zhen's attitude towards Meng'er, whether it is Today or that day when Ruan Fu was accused, her behavior was not normal, but she accepted Meng'er's setting reasonably, and he had already felt suspicious.

The shocked look disappeared quickly, and Concubine Zhen flatly denied, "No one has contacted Ben Gong!"

"Is that so, the empress had better think clearly before answering this question." Yu Wujue said.

With this tone again, Concubine Zhen looked at Yu Wujue's eyes, and panic gradually rose in her eyes, "I don't know who that person is. One day when I woke up, I found a piece of letter paper beside the bed. She appeared in Yaohua Palace on that day, and found the identity of a servant of this palace, but let this palace leave her alone..."

Concubine Zhen said in a trembling voice, it was true, she didn't know why such a person suddenly appeared, but that person gave her the information and gave her advice on what to say and do at the banquet.

Since her goal is to ruin the marriage between Ruan Fu and Yu Wujue, she doesn't want to worry about it, not to mention that the man will definitely leave if he says it. There is still something that can't be grasped at the time, I didn't expect...

But she knew that this was a capital offense, and after she finished speaking, she continued to beg Yu Wujue, "King Jin, King Xuan is your brother, please... I beg you..."

Yu Wujue's brows were cold, as if he sneered, "Brother?"

Then he said to the human guarding the palace gate, "Keep it well." He ignored Concubine Zhen and left Yaohua Palace.

Concubine Zhen looked at this scene and shouted like crazy, "King Xuan is innocent, innocent... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty..."

But the only response to her was the heavily locked gate of Yaohua Palace.
