Return of the Swallow

Chapter 796 Detention

The Queen Mother never imagined that at this time, the Queen Mother would be the first person to stand up and defend Qin Yining.

This queen, who is usually quiet and reserved, turned out to be so sharp-tongued that she understood the truth in every sentence. As a mother-in-law and a queen mother, her daughter-in-law would actually have the upper hand. How could she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

The Queen Mother said coldly: Queen, are you stubborn? Do you really not care about your own prince? Is it possible that you colluded with the Qin family to harm the emperor's heir?

The queen's expression changed drastically!

Queen Mother, why do you accuse people so casually? Although I am a junior, the emperor entrusted Feng Yin to me, so I must act impartially. The Qin family could only be regarded as a suspect at best now, but the Queen Mother directly insisted that the Qin family was guilty.

If you do this, it is very likely that the real murderer will go free. In this way, a good person will be wronged, and the person who really wants to harm the emperor will live freely. He may even hurt the prince again in the future. I belong to the eldest prince. How could the birth mother allow such a birth?

The Queen Mother was choked by the Queen again.

Li Helan sneered when she saw it: The emperor's sister-in-law is so powerful, she dares to yell at her mother and queen like this, and she speaks so harshly for a criminal who murdered the eldest prince. Could it be that the emperor's sister-in-law received any benefits from her in-laws?

The queen was so angry that Li Helan turned her back. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, be careful what she says!

I think the emperor’s wife should be careful about what she says! Your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law has her orders. You don't obey her, and you still retort like this. You only focus on outsiders, are unfilial to your mother, and don't protect your parents and children. Is the emperor's sister-in-law qualified as the mother of the country?

Whether it is qualified or not cannot be decided by the eldest princess in one sentence!

The queen and Li Helan had a quarrel, and the queen mother simply waved her hands to the chamberlain. The queen was bewitched. Please take the queen aside and lock up the Qin family!

yes.

The chamberlains of Ci'an Palace immediately stepped forward and took the queen aside, one on the left and the other on the right.

The guards lifted Qin Yining up and dragged him out.

Qin Yining's legs were injured and she couldn't catch up with the guards. Moreover, the height of the guards holding her made it impossible for her feet to touch the ground. Within a few steps, both of her shoes fell off, and soon her feet The skin was scratched by sharp stones, and the white socks were stained with blood.

The queen struggled anxiously and said sternly: The queen mother behaves like this. Too unfair and will only make people laugh!

presumptuous! The Aijia sees that you, the queen, have done enough! Be careful and ask the emperor to divorce you!

The queen's eyes were red, and she vigorously shook off the hands of the two chamberlains holding her, turned around and left.

stop! Stop for Aijia!

But the Queen ignored it and continued to walk quickly without looking back. The Queen Mother's angry face turned into the color of pig liver, and she kept mumbling: How can this not make sense, how can it not make sense!

Mother, don't be angry, the emperor's sister-in-law is obsessed with things, you can just teach her slowly in the future. Qin, how do you plan to deal with it?

The Queen Mother said irritably: "Don't worry about this matter. After all, there is the Ai family. If she wants to harm the grandson of the Ai family, she is looking for death!"

The Queen Mother said this and strode out.

Princess Yunfei and Tana all stood up and saluted to see the Queen Mother off.

Li Helan felt bored in front of his concubines, and had seen enough of the excitement, so he simply left the palace without staying any longer.

Concubine Yun and Princess Tana didn't like each other, so they separated.

Princess Tana felt so happy when she saw Qin Yining's misfortune today. She finally accomplished what Su asked her to do that day, and she finally vented her anger for Anari Khan. Therefore, Princess Tana was in a very good mood along the way.

It was only when she returned to Chuxiu Palace and took a look at the side hall where Qin Yining lived that she remembered something.

No, isn't there two maids beside Mrs. Qin? Just now the guards only arrested Qin, but what about the two maids?

Princess Tana felt that this matter was quite strange, and she immediately took people to Ci'an Palace with the intention of pleasing the Queen Mother.

At this time, in the inner hall of Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun were sitting and talking.

The handkerchief in Concubine Yun's hand was twisted into a twist, and she whispered nervously: Cousin, this matter is too strange. Why did a Yu concubine appear in the middle? Things won't change, right?

What are you afraid of?

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. As long as you do what Ai Jia said, there will be no problem.

Concubine Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and she hurriedly expressed her loyalty. All the ministers and concubines followed your instructions and used the arsenic you gave them, as did everyone else.

Shh! Looking for death!

Concubine Yun covered her mouth and kept silent, not daring to say any more.

The Queen Mother said solemnly: "Our original plan was that the bird's nest must be tested for poison before being eaten by the eldest prince. As long as it is found to be poisonous, the people from Kunning Palace will immediately capture the Qin family." In this way, the conflicts are all between the Queen and the Qin family.

But today, Concubine Yu suddenly appeared. Although it disrupted our plan, the goal was achieved, so it doesn't matter.

yes. Concubine Yun saluted respectfully, with a look of disappointment that could not be concealed in her eyes.

The Queen Mother looked sideways at Concubine Yun: What, what else do you lack?

No no. Concubine Yun waved her hands hurriedly. Concubine Chen just saw that things were different from what she expected, so she was a little flustered and had no other ideas.

The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this and said: I'm sorry you don't have the guts. Okay, Ai Jia is tired too, go ahead.

yes. Concubine Yun stood up, bowed her knees and bowed, then respectfully stepped back.

The Queen Mother slowly played with the tea bowl, looking at the vivid pattern of carps playing with lotus on the tea bowl, she suddenly chuckled.

Don't think she can't see what Concubine Yun is missing.

Could it be that Concubine Yun still expected the eldest prince to eat the bird's nest with arsenic added?

If she hadn't arranged in advance for Concubine Yu to knock over the bowl of bird's nest with a dead dog that had eaten arsenic, and if it was actually eaten by her precious grandson, wouldn't the emperor fall out with her?

The Queen Mother leaned back leisurely and hummed a tune happily.

The nun outside came back and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shun wants to see you."

The Queen Mother frowned and said: Just say that the Ai family has gone to bed. not see.

After hearing the words, Mammy responded and went out to see Princess Tana.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is frightened, angry, and exhausted today. She has fallen asleep now. If you have any instructions, just tell your slave and she will convey them to you.

Princess Tana was so angry that she almost cursed. She had just watched Concubine Yun come out of Ci'an Palace. How could the Queen Mother still fall asleep in the blink of an eye?

She doesn't want to be seen if she doesn't want to be seen. What's so great about it is that she seems to be trying to curry favor with her superiors.

Princess Tana suppressed her anger and said, "That's it. I found that the two maids beside Qin were missing, and the guards didn't see them when they arrested them, so I came here to inform the Queen Mother." Now that the Queen Mother has gone to bed, I will take my leave.

With a hasty salute and without looking at the mama's face, Princess Tana quickly returned to Chuxiu Palace.

The grandma's face changed drastically, and she hurried back to tell the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sat up directly, what a bunch of idiots! Even two little girls were lost? Don't let them find it yet!

yes! Grandma quickly went to order the guards to arrest Jiyun and Bingtang.

Qin Yining, on the other hand, had been handcuffed to his ankles with an iron chain, and the other end was locked to a wall pillar in the dark room.

The windows on all sides of the dark room had been nailed shut with wooden boards. Only the gaps between the wooden boards revealed a faint light, reflecting the floating dust in the empty room.

The house was clean on all sides. There were no tables, chairs, benches or furniture. There was a big Kang next to the window. It was obvious that no one would light a fire. There was a pail in the corner. The rest is nothing else.

I never thought there was such a place behind the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

Qin Yining dragged the heavy chain for a few steps. The room was dark and moldy, and she could vaguely smell blood. She didn't know how many wrongdoers the Queen Mother had executed in this room.

She originally thought that someone with the Queen Mother's status would not let her hands be stained with blood, but now it seems that she has overestimated her.

Qin Yining walked all the lengths of the iron chain and tried to sit on the kang. However, she found that the kang was close to the window and air leaked from all directions, making it even colder than the ground. She then returned to the red-painted pillars. Wrapping his arms around himself, he sat down with his knees crossed and curled up into a ball.

It's fine. Qin Yining said to himself.

Echoes could be heard in the empty hall.

It's okay, it'll be okay. Just hold on.

Her own voice still echoed in the hall.

Qin Yining pressed her red and swollen cheek against her sleeve, a hot tear spilled from the corner of her eye, and was quickly sucked up by her sleeve.

Can't be weak, can't be afraid. Because Qin Yining understands that this is just the beginning.

Being imprisoned in Ci'an Palace is more terrifying than being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Here, the Queen Mother can be tortured just thinking about it. I believe the methods of the old ladies around the Queen Mother will be very powerful.

Qin Yining closed his eyes and forced himself to recharge his batteries. Now that things have come to this, she must be strong. She still has two children, Pang Xiao, and her parents. She must persevere.

Qin Yining judged the sunrise and sunset from the light in the window. In the blink of an eye, a day and night passed.

She was sitting there hugging her knees, curling up to keep herself warm. Her empty stomach was cramping, and her lips were cracked by thirst. The bruises on her knees were swollen, and the pain was excruciating. She touched it. When I touch my face, it seems to be more swollen.

Qin Yining silently drew the first stroke of the orthography on the corner of the wall and smiled to herself to see how long she, a savage, could last.

Such a big thing happened in the palace. Although Li Qitian did not deliberately publicize it, he did not suppress the news either. Soon, the courtiers and nobles learned that Princess Zhongshun intended to harm the emperor's heir.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Li Helan had just changed into a brand new magenta spring dress when the maid came to report excitedly: eldest princess, eldest princess! The prince-in-law is here!

Li Helan was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly looked at the hairpin decoration on her head in the mirror and made sure that she was dressed impeccably. Then she stood up with a smile.

Ji Zeyu was wearing a black cross-collar arrow-sleeved shirt, with the ink tied high on the back of his head and hanging on his straight back. There was no expression on his jade-like face, and his handsome face was as cold as ice.

Seeing Ji Zeyu like this, Li Helan's heart palpitated. Why is the consort here? Could it be that he misses me?
