Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 87
Yin Chu said: "Give it to me." Then he took the medicine and fed it to the Queen Mother himself.

The Queen Mother didn't object at all, she drank the medicine slowly before asking, "How long has the Ai family been sleeping?"

"It's almost three hours."

"You have been waiting?"

Yin Chuxin answered "yes" softly.

Ji Liangruo said: "My son sent the fifth emperor sister out of the city first, and then came into the palace."

"That's a lot of time..." The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said to Yin Chu, "You are pregnant, how can you bear to cry like this? Go back and rest, the Ai family will not die."

Yin Chuxin hesitated for a moment before nodding, and then said: "Mother, the concubine and the others have been waiting outside, did you let them go back?"

"Go back all."

"Yes." Yin Chu believed in his blessing, turned around and retreated.

Ji Liangruo was still standing by the bed, the queen mother called her: "Come here."

She walked to the bed, and the queen mother asked her to squat down, and then reached out to touch the place where her forehead was injured last time.There are faint traces left there, powdered, you can't see it unless you look closely.

"It's such a beautiful person to have this scar... It's a pity. I'm afraid it's more serious than Ai's heart." The Queen Mother said, "Fortunately, she is no longer a young woman, otherwise, how could she have the face to serve the late emperor?"

Thinking of that fragrant scene, Ji Liangruo's cheeks became slightly warm.Her scar did not scare Qin Yunyao away.Every time they make out, he would be the first to kiss here, very affectionate.This was caused by his mistake, and he had some self-blame in his heart.

The queen mother lowered her hand and asked, "You said... who would want to harm the family?"

"The servant can't guess." She said.

"Then guess boldly!" The queen mother was angry, and then couldn't help frowning, thinking that it was affecting the pain of the wound.

"Yes." Ji Liangruo nodded, and really began to guess.In fact, she had thought about it for a while, and she thought it might be Yin Chuxin.Once the queen mother died, the harem could only be under her control. It was completely impossible for the Zhou family to take over the harem, and she lost the greatest threat.

Pretending to think for a moment, she said: "I wonder, could it be someone from the Second Prince?"

"How do you say it?" The queen mother closed her eyes, thinking that she was also suspicious in her heart.

"There are two possibilities. One is that the second prince has spies in the emperor, and the spies told him about the fifth princess's marriage! He sent someone to take advantage of this time, and the one who wanted to harm the queen should not be the queen mother, but the emperor. The second one Kind of, didn’t the fifth prince break Wangcheng? He escaped, maybe he fled back to the imperial capital quietly, and then—”

"Isn't Qin Yunyao his spy in the imperial capital?" The queen mother interrupted her suddenly.

Startled, she held her breath.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and looked at her coldly: "After Eunuch Wang came back, the Ai family could no longer get any useful news. Dongyue's little hoof is unreliable, and neither can you..."

A month ago, Ji Liangruo told her: "My lord wants to send Eunuch Wang back. He said that Eunuch Wang is going to monitor me having sex with him. Now that I have had sex with him, there is no need to monitor him anymore."

It sounded like Qin Yunyao was suspicious of Eunuch Wang's identity, so she immediately asked Eunuch Wang to come back.Next, although there was news from the palace from time to time, there was always a feeling of losing control.Although Eunuch Wang couldn't find anything there, he was always at ease.

"You have betrayed Aijia, do you think Aijia can't feel it?"

"Slave..." Ji Liangruo knelt instead, "Slave didn't..."

"You are not as calm as water at the beginning, Aijia was also young, do you think Aijia won't be able to see it?"

"Servant...servant..." Ji Liangruo propped his hands on the ground, trembling vigorously, unable to say anything.The queen mother suspected her, but she didn't hold the evidence, so she would never admit it anyway.

The Empress Dowager said: "Now I give you two choices... There is no one in this room except the two of us. You take the opportunity to strangle and smother Ai's family to death. It's all up to you! Then you and Qin Yunyao fled to find the second prince." !"

"Slaves dare not..." She lay on the ground and began to cry.

"Don't dare? Really dare not?" The queen mother sneered, "Then you will immediately recruit everything you have kept from Ai's family!"

"No servant!" Ji Liangruo yelled, "This servant has never betrayed the Queen Mother!"

"You still dare to speak hard?" The queen mother scolded in a low voice, unable to hold back her wounded body, she panted a little anxiously, "Just because you have been slow to attack Ruixue, the Ai family can completely disbelieve you..."

"Slaves can explain..."

"Aijia doesn't need to explain, Aijia only wants everything about Yunyao!" After the queen mother finished speaking, she closed her eyes and rested for a while.When she opened her eyes and saw that she was still kneeling, she couldn't help but regretted and said: "Aijia gave you the opportunity to kill Aijia, you don't want it, you deserve to be at the mercy of others for the rest of your life, and you don't die well... In this kind of world, you don't want to be cruel, you want to survive Dreaming!" She opened her mouth to call out, but felt a little lack of confidence, so she grabbed the small incense burner on the low table beside the bed and threw it out.

The small incense burner slammed on the ground with a bang, and the outside door was pushed open immediately, Hui Xin rushed in with the maid, seeing Ji Liangruo kneeling beside the bed, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Come here." The Queen Mother said.

She hurried up: "What orders does the Queen Mother have?"

"Take Ruji and the eighth princess to the underground palace for torture!"

"Queen Mother—" Ji Liangruo screamed and grabbed her hand tightly, "Queen Mother, you believe in slaves, there are really no slaves!"

The Queen Mother withdrew her hand vigorously, and said to Hui Xin who was still in a daze, "Why don't you go soon?"

"Yes." Hui Xin hurriedly backed away.

"No..." Ji Liangruo looked at her back, knelt on the ground and took two steps, then turned to look at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother..."

The queen mother closed her eyes and ignored her. She had a nervous breakdown, cried uncontrollably, lifted her skirt and ran out.

There was no one in Ji's room, and Yunrui's lyre fell to the ground, breaking a string.She cried bitterly, leaning on the wall and running out.Running to the gate of Longfu Palace, I saw several maids and eunuchs leading them away.

"Auntie!" she yelled.

Ru Ji turned her head and looked at her quietly.She wanted to chase after her, but someone behind her suddenly grabbed her.

"Cousin!" The eighth princess cried out in tears.

She wanted to go over, but the people behind her hugged her waist, she couldn't move at all, she could only watch their figures drift away.Turning around, seeing Hui Xin hugging her tightly, she wanted to cry but had no tears.

"The Queen Mother told you to go in!" Hui Xin let go of her and made way for her to go ahead.

She dragged her exhausted body back to the dormitory, the queen mother was already in a drowsy sleep, and she opened her eyes after a long time: "Do you want to talk?"

"The servant did not hide the truth from the queen mother, so I don't know what to say." In any case, she only knew that she must not betray Yun Yao.However, Ruji and the Eighth Princess must not be allowed to have an accident...

"Still stubborn now?" The queen mother's eyes showed a fierce look, "Hui Xin, let someone take her to the underground palace to have a look, maybe she will figure it out!"

Ji Liangruo's body trembled and was on the verge of falling, but his teeth were clenched tightly.

"I want to say that I can come to Aijia at any time, Aijia is waiting for you. If you say so, Ruji and the eighth princess will be safe."

She didn't say anything, turned around passively, and followed Hui Xin.Hui Xin handed her over to another palace lady, who looked cold and arrogant, like Dongyue.Is it another meticulous work carefully cultivated by the Queen Mother?
She followed her out of the Longfu Palace, through the palaces and pavilions, and walked to the "underground palace" on the west side of the palace.underground palace?To put it nicely, it's actually a prison cell!
She knew this place existed, but it was her first time here.This place is larger than the prison in the palace, and it is still divided into ground and ground.She was taken to the basement floor, and she could smell all kinds of unpleasant smells as soon as she went there.After adapting to the light below, I walked a few steps, only to find that there were people locked up on both sides, all of whom looked decadent and weak.

Most of them are men, but there are also women. The way they look at her... or the way they look at the maid in front is varied and unpredictable.

A bony hand protruded from the inside, and the owner of the hand smiled lewdly: "I have come here so much today... See if you are the most suitable..."

She jumped forward in fright, and there was laughter all around, and everyone leaned forward and back.

"Don't scare people."

"I don't know what it means to be scary..."
