Chapter 168: It's all the fault of beauty
In the morning, there were crowds of people passing by on the street, and there were endless merchants coming and going.
Kaiyang was wearing an apricot yellow dress and holding the things he bought, passing by Meng Dong's shop door and subconsciously glanced at the shop.
At this glance, she suddenly found that the shop door was half-closed, and she couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
He is back? Back?
Kaiyang's heart thumped, rushed forward quickly, and pushed open the door.
Meng Dong was cleaning and tidying up the store. The door was wide open and the sun shone in. Meng Dong couldn't help but look up at the door.
Kaiyang stood at the door, staring at Meng Dong, and a sweet smile gradually spread on his face.
"You're back!"
Meng Dong looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared on her slightly cold face, and she nodded slightly.
"I'm back!"
In the courtyard of the winter, under the trees.
The two sat opposite each other, Meng Dong made tea, and Kaiyang looked at him with a smile.
After a while, the tea boiled. Meng Dong stood up gracefully and gently pushed the tea bowl to Kaiyang, smiling: "How are you?"
Kaiyang nodded slightly, held up the teacup and whispered: "It's not like that, I'm on duty and studying the mechanism... It's just that if you are not here, I'll lose my confidant. Sometimes when I encounter something I'm interested in, I don't have any personal discussions. At that time, I always think, it would be great if you are here."
Meng Dong smiled and slowly drank with tea: "Oh, have you encountered any interesting things?"
Kaiyang's eyes lit up: "Not bad! I have really seen some interesting things during your time in Bianliang, puppet beasts, have you heard of them?"
Meng Dong was stunned: "Puppet beast? Is it like a wooden ox and a flowing horse?"
"It's even more complicated than a wooden ox and a flowing horse! The wooden ox and a flowing horse can only repeat one simple action, which is walking. But the puppet beast I saw can do more complicated things." Kaiyang stood up excitedly and walked forward in a hurry.
"You wait, I'll draw it into a drawing for you."
Meng Dong then stood up, smiled and shook her head at her back.
...
The inner palace is full of all internal organs, so naturally it is related to the prison cells of prisoners.
Compared to the prison outside, whether it is the prison of heaven or the prison of the Three Laws, the prison cells of the Forbidden Palace are even more gloomy.
At this time, there were some eunuchs and palace maids tied in the dark cell. Some of these people had been tortured, covered in bruises, and were dying. Others who had not been tortured were all so scared that they were not in the same way and were timid.
Lei Yungong sat behind a table and drank tea slowly.
Two eunuchs were tied to the pillar, and two jailers, who were also eunuchs, were whipping hard. The tortured eunuchs screamed from time to time.
A prisoner clamped a piece of burnt charcoal with iron pliers, walked forward slowly, and the prison guard who was beating a eunuch immediately moved out of the way.
The prison head looked at the tortured eunuch with a smile and slowly approached the burned charcoal: "Eunuch Chen, are you going to do it or not?"
The eunuch surnamed Chen looked at the prison chief with a sad face, begging: "Why did the empress faint? We really don't know!"
The prison chief sneered: "Is that so? The emperor favors Concubine De, everyone knows that the position of the palace is now empty, and the position of the queen will sooner or later be Concubine De. I am afraid that the empress may not be willing to do so. Especially those young and beautiful, with noble backgrounds..."
Eunuch Chen said weakly: "Our family is just a slave, so how can we care about these things."
The prison head grinned: "If someone wants to harm Concubine De, how is it possible if he doesn't bribe the people around Concubine De? Eunuch Chen, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
After saying that, he raised the burning charcoal and moved staggeringly towards Eunuch Chen's eyes.
Eunuch Chen leaned back nervously and wanted to avoid it, but he was tied to a pillar and could not move, so he finally collapsed.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
The prison leader stopped the charcoal fire in his hand and looked at Eunuch Chen with a grim smile.
Lei Yungong held the teacup and glanced at this side.
Eunuch Chen's face was blood and sweaty, and he was very nervous: "I... I think about it, oh! I remembered that Chen... Chen Cai is young and beautiful, with a noble background, and has always been jealous of Concubine De being favored alone."
The prison chief raised his eyebrows: "So, what has Chen Cairen done?"
Eunuch Chen looked confused and said in a daze: "What have you done? What have you done..."
The prison chief reminded: "If someone wants to cast spells and harm people, don't you need to bribe the people around Defei and get some of Defei's things? Hum?"
The prison leader moved the charcoal fire to Eunuch Chen again. Eunuch Chen hurriedly confessed according to his prompt: "Yeyeyeye, Chen... The palace maid next to Chen Cairen once took 100 taels of silver and bought it from me........."
The prison boss's face darkened: "What do you buy?"
Eunuch Chen knew that he would die and didn't care much anymore. He just wanted to suffer less torture before his death, so he followed the other party's words and said, "A lock of hair from Concubine Maiden."
The prison head smiled and said, "Hehehehe, look, you can't confess it earlier, is it necessary to suffer so much?"
Eunuch Chen laughed bitterly, and his heart was already desperate.
Not far away, Lei Yungong smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and ordered the prison guard: "Take Eunuch Chen to take medicine. Eunuch Chen is an important witness and cannot die."
"Yes!" After hearing this, the two jailers immediately stepped forward to remove Eunuch Chen and dragged him away.
Shen Cairen naturally didn't know what happened in the prison. At this time, she was sitting on the beauty couch reading a book. Suddenly, a little palace maid ran in from outside in panic.
"You are a talented man, no, no, Eunuch Lei brought people in."
Chen Cairen frowned slightly. Before he could speak, Lei Yungong's laughter came from the door.
Lei Yungong walked in with a group of guards and greeted Chen Cairen with a smile: "I'm disturbing Chen Cairen. I've been here to investigate the witchcraft case by the imperial edict these days. I believe Chen Cairen has heard of it."
Chen Cairen was bright and charming, his eyes were as bright as stars. Seeing Lei Yungong's face was a little slight, his face darkened: "What does this matter have to do with me? Why did he break into my palace?"
Lei Yungong smiled and said, "Is there any connection? You have to let the immortal master see it before you know. Shen Cairen, what do you think?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and the guards separated. De Miao, who was wearing a seven-star Taoist robe, walked out with a compass.
Looking at the Shen Cairen in front of him, De Miao's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly jealous in his heart.
There is nothing else, this talented man is so beautiful.
The skin is as snowy as it is, and the eyes are as deep and charming as the stars. The straight nose bridge is delicate but soft, and the figure is convex and straight, but it looks graceful and charming. Although his face is unhappy at this time, he is still as beautiful as a flower, and his behavior is elegant and charming. He obviously has a good background, and he has more calmness than ordinary ladies.
Raise and transfer qi, and move the body.
This is a momentum that has always been in the superior position.
To be honest, De Miao has seen countless people in her life, but only in terms of beauty and temperament, the person in front of her can definitely be called the best. If Lei Yungong had not supported her, she thought to herself that she would never dare to be rude to her.
As a woman, she has good virtues and beauty, but compared with the person in front of her, she is like a grey sparrow, while the other party is the phoenix of the king of birds.
This feeling made her both jealous and hateful.
Almost from the moment she saw her, De Miao made up his mind that even if he didn't do anything for the sake of the Heavenly Lord, he would have to find a way to kill her.
Otherwise, beauty has been in trouble since ancient times, and it has harmed people and even more harm.
