Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

There is always a way to make prisoners speak in the prison.

There are different torture methods for men, women, bandits, and spies from enemy countries.

Similarly, when facing a woman like Ailian, there are also ways to interrogate her.

The next day, the interrogation yielded results.

Lou Zixi went to the palace to report the truth.

Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu both looked at him, with a hint of anxiety and nervousness that was rarely seen on the faces of the emperor and empress.

"She is a time traveler." Lou Zixi said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu looked at each other. They were both surprised and not surprised. After hearing the result, they were not nervous anymore.

Murong Jiu said: "It seems that what Master Huijue said before his death was correct. There will be new time travelers."

For such a long time, no new time travelers have appeared. They have not let down their guard, but they can't help but feel that time travelers would not appear so frequently.

Now that a new time traveler has appeared, we don’t have to keep holding that breath anymore.

Jun Yuyan said: "Only a time traveler can explain why her temperament changed and why she attacked Sikong Wan."

Because Ai Lian was a slave and a maid in the outer courtyard, she could not cross the class line and become a superior person.

People who lived in Wang Yingluo's era of equality would not be willing to be slaves for others, being slaves for generations and being inferior to others.

If you are unwilling, you can only find a way.

As a house slave, she seldom went out. Moreover, Lou Zixi was an important official in the imperial court and he kept strict control over everyone in the mansion to prevent spies from sneaking in.

Under such background conditions, there are not many things that can be done.

If you want to take a shortcut, there are only two ways.

One is to take the initiative to surrender to the court, indicating her identity as a time traveler, and use the knowledge in her head to gain wealth and glory.

The second is that the servant becomes the mistress.

But a truly good person cannot take the latter path.

The fact that Honglian could remain silent shows that she did not dare to reveal her identity. Just like Wang Yingluo had said before, she was an alien in this era and was afraid of being burned to death as a heretic. Honglian might have the same idea.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she had little knowledge and was unable to do business with the court.

Lou Zixi's report confirmed the two people's speculations very well.

"She came here three months ago. In order to threaten her parents to buy her expensive luxury goods, she pretended to jump off the building, but she actually fell from the 18th floor."

Eighteenth floor...

That's a very high place. If you fall down, there's basically no chance of survival.

"She landed headfirst on the ground. She regretted the few breaths she took from falling, but it was indeed impossible for her to survive. So she found that she cherished her life after she traveled through time."

This Honglian was only 18 years old when she died. She was a student. Her family conditions were better than most, but the pressure on her to go to college was great, and her family could not afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy her luxury goods to compete with others.

She was not stupid. On the contrary, she had good grades and was admitted to a very good university. But she met some rich friends and gradually, her personality changed. All the clothes and shoes she wore were branded. Once, because she could not afford a real bag, she bought a fake one. Her friends pointed it out in public, and she felt ashamed. She went home and begged her parents to buy her a real one. Then the tragedy happened.

When Murong Jiu heard this, he didn't know what to say.

This was not difficult to understand, but she still felt that the other party was too stupid.

Maybe because they are not from the same era, she doesn’t understand that those clothes and bags can bring about a huge difference in people’s status.

In fact, there is a saying nowadays, "Respect the clothes first and then respect the person." Clothes, jewelry and appearance are people's first impression of a person, but clothes and jewelry will not be overpriced to the point of luxury, and you get what you pay for.

Of course, there are also very expensive ones that ordinary people may not be able to afford in their lifetime, but all of them require huge amounts of manpower and material resources.

It is important for people to know themselves, but it is obvious that "Honglian" does not have that.

"So she set her sights on you. Wang Yingluo once said that you were famous in history and everyone knew you. A historical figure like you, who is also so handsome, would indeed make her heart flutter."

When Murong Jiu said this, he received an unhappy look from Jun Yuyan.

Well, she shouldn't have praised Lou Zixi's handsomeness in front of Jun Yuyan. This man could be scary jealous sometimes.

Lou Zixi shook his head and said, "She shouldn't have such bad intentions. If she had surrendered to me, I would have definitely freed her from slavery, or at least arranged a job for her so that she would have no worries about food and clothing. But she set her sights on Wan'er, and I really cannot tolerate this."

It's ridiculous that time travelers all have an inexplicable sense of self-confidence, Wang Yingluo is like that, and so is Honglian. They think that since the queen is dead, they have an opportunity to take advantage of. It's really ridiculous.

Jun Yuyan nodded and said, "You are right. If it weren't for the Queen, your wife would have been in great danger today. So it is up to you to decide how to deal with her. The Queen and I will not interfere."

Murong Jiu understood that Jun Yuyan was showing that he trusted Lou Zixi.

But he also wanted to see what Lou Zixi would do.

Based on Murong Jiu's understanding of Lou Zixi, he will definitely make Honglian reveal more useful things and then punish her in the end.

Deep down, Lou Zixi has always been indifferent to people he doesn't care about, not to mention that the man almost killed his wife.

Things turned out just as the two had expected. Lou Zixi used a lot of tricks to make Honglian willingly reveal some useful information.

But afterwards, Lou Zixi invited monks to pray for Honglian's soul to be reborn.

Unfortunately, the other monks were not as powerful as Master Huijue, and they failed to drive away this soul from another world.

So, Honglian was imprisoned in a big prison, and would be kept there until her death as long as she did not disappear.

Lou Zixi couldn't be kind to someone who almost caused the death of his wife.

Whether it was the fall in the garden or the large amount of saffron in the chicken soup later, they were all aimed at Sikong Wan's life.

People like this don't deserve sympathy no matter how pitiful they pretend to be.

Murong Jiu would not sympathize either.

However, after this incident, she and Jun Yuyan both believed what Master Huijue said. If there is one, there must be two. Perhaps there are other time travelers in Dayan, but they are hiding deeper than Honglian.

They need to be vigilant, but they don't need to treat it as a threat.

After all, time travelers are just flesh and blood.

What they feared before was the unknown, but now they are no longer completely ignorant about the future.

Honglian was just a small episode, but this episode still brought a lot of convenience to Dayan.

In the blink of an eye, it's another spring, summer, autumn and winter.

After returning from the Lou Mansion’s one-year-old birthday party, Murong Jiu felt a little sleepy and fell asleep without taking a bath. It was Jun Yuyan who carried her to wash her.

The next morning, when she woke up, Jun Yuyan did not go to the morning court for the first time, but looked at her with sharp eyes.

"Ajiu, is your period delayed for three days?"
