Chapter 248 Eavesdropping
The scene inside the Yaoguang Hall is magnificent and luxurious, and from a distance, it is not much inferior to the Yunxi Hall. However, because it lacks the artistic conception compared to the outdoors, few people come in to rest.
——In a place like this, communication is much more important than temperature.
Making friends and chatting has almost become the main purpose of these people here, so they naturally want to find a quiet corner.
The Yaoguang Hall was unusually quiet. When Jiang Yingcheng and his companions walked in, they almost suspected that Jiang Qiuyu had spread false information.
"Where are the people?" Qiao Yunbai asked in a low voice.
Among them, Qiao Yunbai knows the least information and has the most eccentric personality, so he basically bears the curious character of a hundred thousand whys.
Jiang Xingran and his companions seemed to be concentrating on searching for Concubine Rou Gui in the palace, but in fact—
[You went to the backyard?! ]
"It doesn't look like there's anyone here," Jiang Xingran said, "Let's go to the backyard and take a look."
Naturally, no one had any objections. They followed the corner of the wall and walked to the back door of the Yanguang Hall like thieves.
As soon as I approached, I heard a suppressed sob.
The kids looked at each other and subconsciously slowed down their breathing.
The next moment, Concubine Rougui's voice sounded with anger and impatience: "Have you cried enough?"
"When you've cried enough, tell me if you are enjoying the treasures His Majesty gave you."
The sobbing sound paused, and the soft voice of an adult woman trembled noticeably: "Your Majesty, it was all Fuying's fault for a moment. I hope you can forgive Fuying this time--"
There was another rustling sound, and it sounded like the woman who had just spoken was dragging someone to her side.
"Quick, Fuying, apologize to the Royal Concubine!"
There was a dull sound of knees hitting the ground, and then Luo Fuying's usually coquettish voice kept apologizing in fear and trepidation.
The people in the room paused for a moment, then tacitly poked a few small holes in the paper window and stood on the chairs to look outside.
The scene in the backyard naturally fell into the eyes of several people.
Concubine Rougui was standing under the courtyard wall with a palace maid. Opposite them was a beautiful woman who was groveling and speaking sweet words. At her feet was Luo Fuying, who was kneeling and trembling.
Jiang Yingcheng let out a long "Wow" in his heart and watched with great interest.
[This Yishui King is so irresponsible. Knowing that his daughter had committed a serious mistake in the palace, he immediately withdrew all his love for the mother and daughter, and even said something like - "If you can't ask for Concubine Rougui's forgiveness, don't go back with me"?! ]
Listen, is this still human language? !
Although Concubine Rou's family was extremely powerful, and although Luo Fuying had caused the death of Concubine Rou's only child and put him under house arrest, her father would not punish her for such a thing!
With the comparison, Jiang Yingcheng hated even more the King of Yishui, whom he had never met, and he did not hesitate to dig up the other party's dirty laundry in his heart.
[Brothers are at odds with each other, and they are only interested in profit... Wow, this Yishui country is not very big, but it can accommodate so many thoughts and ideas from the king! ]
[Wow! In order to control the economic lifeline of the country, the ruler of Yishui actually sent people to various business families to force them to sign a "voluntary donation" document. If there were any resistance, their children would be taken away on the spot!]
[It’s a pity that the group of people didn’t know that it was their king who gave the order at the beginning, and they even wanted to report it to the emperor, asking the king of Yishui to do justice for them... After several families were tragically wiped out, the later ones just signed obediently. ]
Although Jiang Yingcheng had anticipated what kind of villain this king was, he was still filled with disgust when he suddenly heard such news.
She glanced at the purse that she had asked the King of Yishui for. When she thought about how much blood the gold and silver in it had been stained with, she felt uncomfortable all over.
[No, I don't want his dirty money! ]
The hand that wanted to take off the purse and throw it away paused for a moment, then slowly took it back with a tangled expression: [Well, how about...giving it to someone I hate? ]
The angry look on Jiang Xingran's face froze. He turned around to look at the young man helplessly and sighed lightly.
The young man is obviously not like them who need to plan for his future too early, but for some reason, he still developed such a money-obsessed personality.
Jiang Qiuyu covered his mouth tightly, afraid that he would laugh out loud.
In the courtyard, Concubine Rougui, who had been watching coldly for a long time, spoke in a deep voice. The hatred in her voice made everyone's scalps tingle: "You two don't think that a few words of apology can make up for the huge loss of my Pan family."
She walked slowly to the beautiful woman, stretched out her hand and lifted her chin: "I have shown you the way, whether you do it or not is up to you."
Having said that, Concubine Rou Gui withdrew her hand, walked forward a few steps, and sat down on the stone bench in the corner.
For a small country like Yishui that is dependent on Darui, her Pan family has many ways to discipline them to the point where they have no choice but to bow their heads and beg her.
The beautiful woman trembled violently.
Several people in the hall also frowned slightly.
Although Concubine Rou Guifei has been in trouble recently, the foundation is there. How could there be anything that needs others to complete? !
However, the hesitant look on that person's face was so complicated that it was hard not to arouse suspicion among several people.
Jiang Yingcheng also subconsciously called 007 to help her retrieve the previous data.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak for a long time, Luo Fuying suddenly raised his upper body from the ground, reached out to grab the beautiful woman's wrist, and shook it hard.
"Mother, please agree to it," Luo Fuying cried even more sadly than before, "If you don't agree, we won't be able to go home, mother!"
Luo Fuying's cheeks were red from crying, and the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose looked as if they were smeared with red rouge. She looked pitiful, yet beautiful.
The royal family of Yishui was ruthless, but she was the biological mother of the child after all, so how could she really abandon him?
The beautiful woman bit her lip, and when she looked up again, all the hesitation in her eyes turned into determination.
"Okay," she said.
At the same time, the data found by 007 was finally projected onto the light screen.
Jiang Yingcheng quickly lowered his head and ate the melon: [Let me see, let me see, what shameful thing did they talk about——]
"I can help you get rid of the Eleventh Princess, but you must also promise that after the task is completed, you will never pursue the guilt of my daughter again!"
These words were spoken in a powerful and sonorous manner, successfully making the atmosphere in the yard stagnant, and also successfully interrupting Jiang Yingcheng's happy behavior of eating watermelon.
Jiang Yingcheng: [Forehead...]
[It seems... there is no need to check? ]
"Cough cough--mm..." Qiao Yunbai was so shocked that he couldn't catch his breath and coughed violently.
The air inside and outside the back door seemed to stop flowing. For a long moment—
"Who's there?!"
