Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 96

Ji Liangruo's heart skipped a beat.Man Xin's words in the morning obviously indicated that Princess Wu was pregnant, so she asked herself to deliver food now?Will it be as simple as porridge?She wants to make herself an executioner and make Qin Yunhuang hate Yun Yao?
"Did you hear that?" The queen mother asked impatiently when she saw that she hadn't answered for a long time.

"Slave... I heard it." She said.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction and called Hui Xin: "You can go with her."

"Yes." Hui Xin nodded, brought two food tables, put a bowl on one food table, asked "Dong Yue" to hold one, and herself carried one, and followed Ji Liangruo to leave the room.

Walking out of Longfu Palace, Ji Liangruo asked, "Where is Princess Wu?"

"In the underground palace." Hui Xin said, leading the way.

It was rare for Ji Liangruo to express what he felt in his heart.How dare you lock people up in a place as dark and damp as the underground palace, full of men?

After walking to the underground palace, she knew she was wrong.

The dungeon had two floors—or more, she had only seen two.The cells above are all clean and tidy small rooms with walls and roofs. There is a small window on the door that can be opened from the outside, which should be convenient for delivering food or talking to the people inside.There are all tables, chairs, bed cabinets, and some basic living utensils, such as teacups and lamps, which look better than the houses of poor people.

After Ji Liangruo and the others went in, the people outside locked the house.

Wu Chunjun was lying on the bed, facing the wall, and got up only when he heard the door closed. Seeing them, a slight surprise flashed across his face.She didn't speak, waiting for them to speak.

Huixin and Ruixue put down the food, Ji Liangruo said: "Today is a festive season, this is the bird's nest and eight treasures that the queen mother gave to the princess."

Hui Xin opened the lid, steaming smoke came out from inside, and the aroma of porridge overflowed, making people move their index fingers.This was beyond Ji Liangruo's expectation. She thought it was done casually, but it seemed that it took a lot of effort.

Wu Chunjun looked at the porridge, then looked at her seriously: "You are..."

Ji Liangruo was taken aback, did she forget her?Or ask her identity?Her blessing: "Fourth prince and concubine, Ji Liangruo."

When Wu Chunjun heard this, he laughed, got out of bed and came over: "Sit down, you've become a sister-in-law now." These words showed that she hadn't forgotten.

She sat down and was about to drink the bird's nest.

"Princess—" Ji Liangruo hastily stretched out his hand to stop it.

Wu Chunjun stopped: "What? Are you afraid that the queen mother will harm me?" She smiled, "You should have thought of it earlier, right? Why bother to be a good person after sending it away? Besides, I am her best hostage, so she won't be so stupid! "

"But..." But that might not kill you, but the life of the child in your belly!Ji Liangruo looked back at Hui Xin, Hui Xin was expressionless.

Wu Chunjun pushed her hand away: "Bird's nest is a precious thing, how can I be ungrateful?" Then he slowly scooped it into his mouth spoon by spoon.

Ji Liangruo watched, and tried to stop her a few times, but seeing her drink up the whole bowl without hesitation, she couldn't help wondering if she was being overwhelmed.

Wu Chunjun put down the bowl: "It's not long after lunch, this bowl is a bit full, and I can't drink the rest of the bowl for the time being, I'm afraid I'll have to keep it until night."

After hearing what she said, Huixin came up and put the lid on the Eight Treasures.

Ji Liangruo took a look and couldn't help being surprised.

The bird's nest is light and pure in color, and has a light and fragrant taste. If you add other things, such as abortifacient, you can find it by just looking at it and smelling it.But Babao is different. If there is too much black rice, the whole bowl will be black, and there are many things in it. It is difficult to taste other flavors in one bite. It is easy to add abortion pills without being discovered.

So, did the Queen Mother let Princess Wu choose by herself?See her luck?
Wu Chunjun said: "Have you become a princess? When the fourth child came to inquire about you, I knew you would be together."

She said this in front of Hui Xin, if she dared to say it, Ji Liangruo dared to listen.Anyway, Ji Liangruo has always admired her from the bottom of her heart.

"He inquired about me?" Ji Liangruo was surprised.

"After the father was seriously ill, he suddenly asked around for a court lady who took care of Ji'er on the day his mother died. At that time, the second prince took him as a joke, saying that they were a pair of good brothers, even choosing a woman. Then I remembered that it was you , told him, but he didn't continue to look for it. Presumably, it's because you are Ruji's niece, and he was afraid that being with you would complicate the situation, right?"

Qin Yunyao had never said these things before, and Ji Liangruo couldn't help being moved when he heard it.

Wu Chunjun continued: "Why do you think I reminded you to take down the pearl hairpin back then? It wasn't because of him! Otherwise, even if I saw the pearl hairpin that once belonged to me at that time, how could I think about it? "

After talking about this, Ji Liangruo also left.When she got up, she saw Huixin's expression was calm, as if she didn't hear it.

She had always suspected that Huixin was Qin Yunyao's person in the palace, but Qin Yunyao said that he didn't know who it was, and only received news once or twice.Now it seems that Hui Xin is very likely to be Qin Yunhuang's person, but it may not be.Because with Hui Xin's temperament, even if she hears it, she won't say much. It's not surprising that Wu Chunjun has been in the palace for so many years and can see through it.

Leaving the prison cell in Guanwuchun County, after turning a corner, I saw a room open in front of me, and two maids dragged a man in a middle coat out, and walked to the cell below.

Several people were wondering what was going on, when they saw another person coming out of that room.It was Man Xin, who was stretching out her hands to tidy up the messy clothes, with a look of laziness and flushing on her face.Several people looked openly at the direction where the man disappeared, and they all knew what was going on.

Man Xin suddenly saw their side, and was startled, and tightly gripped the collar with her hands on her chest, probably because she saw Hui Xin.

Ji Liangruo turned around and saw Hui Xin's expression of shock and...disappointment?Hui Xin's eyes were wet, as if she was about to cry, she blinked, lowered her head and wiped her eyes, and walked forward.Passing by Man Xin, Man Xin stretched out her hand to pull her, but she leaned to the side, Man Xin's hand trembled, and she froze in mid-air, the two of them just avoided it.

When Hui Xin walked away, Man Xin suddenly chased her out again.

In the corridor more than one meter wide, Ji Liangruo walked out slowly, passed by the door of a cell, and suddenly heard a sound of thumping from inside the door.She was startled, Ruixue hurried forward and pulled her behind.

There was still the sound of ping, ping, ping, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, and a woman said anxiously: "Fan'er, don't make trouble!" Then the voice disappeared.

Ji Liangruo glanced at Ruixue questioningly. Ruixue looked around and saw that there was no one there, so she reached out and slid the partition of the window open, revealing a hole about the size of a book.

There was a flash of the back of a black head inside, and a pale, thin woman's face turned around.When she saw them, she was slightly startled, hesitated and stepped forward, staring closely at Ji Liangruo.

"Who are you?" Ji Liangruo clung to the window.

Hesitation and joy flashed across the woman's face, and she resolutely took off a bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into her hand: "Please do me a favor and ask the Second Prince to save his child!"

Hearing the sound from the bottom of the aisle, Ruixue hastily closed the window, and Ji Liangruo also hid the bracelet in his sleeve.

"What are you doing there?" It was the two maids just now.

"Is there anything else to do here?" Ruixue asked suspiciously.

The two palace maids came over nervously, looked inside the door, and said to them, "Is there anything wrong? Why don't you hurry up? It's Chinese New Year, is it fun to stay in the underground palace?"

"Who wants to come!" Rui Xue held Ji Liangruo with both hands, and walked out arrogantly.

Seeing that they had gone a little far, the two maids couldn't wait for them to disappear, so they opened the cell, and went in one by one, while the other stood guard at the door.There were voices of questioning from inside, and a childish scolding voice.

"When my father comes back, you will all die!"

Ji Liangruo's body trembled, and he wanted to turn around to look.Ruixue grabbed her arm and pulled her out.After walking out of the underground palace, Ruixue said in a low voice: "This is a big discovery, princess, don't get caught!"

Ji Liangruo nodded and walked forward, took two steps and saw Hui Xin and Man Xin standing at the foot of the wall, arguing for some reason.The two stopped in their tracks, unable to move forward, and did not know how to avoid it.
