Chapter 54: Shang Wenqi is the Queen Mother’s…male favorite?
After all, ancient times was an era of cold weapons. No matter how powerful these people were, they couldn't chop up a car, right?
As long as she could earn a glimmer of hope and escape from the palace and the capital, at worst she could run away to the Western Regions or places like Qiang and Hu.
However... the above is just Ning Ning's fantasy. In fact, she also knows that it is not feasible.
Not to mention whether the car can be driven here, just the time waiting for the car to be delivered is enough for her to chop off heads eight or ten times.
Shang Wenqi held Ning Ning in his arms as they walked inside the palace wall. He thought that she would say some incoherent words as usual, and Shang Wenqi was ready to press her mute point at any time. However, Ning Ning was unusually quiet along the way.
Shang Wenqi felt the weight in his hands becoming lighter and lighter, as if he was not holding a living person but a cotton quilt. However, his mood was very complicated.
She was also wondering how her master would deal with her later.
Shang Wenqi wanted to give some instructions, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to say them. In the end he could only sigh and thought to himself, just take care of her later.
Soon, Shang Wenqi brought Ning Ning to a glazed palace.
By this time, a eunuch had already gone in to report, and almost as soon as Shang Wenqi arrived outside the Glazed Palace, a maid came out.
She bowed respectfully to Shang Wenqi and then led the way for him.
As they walked forward, the nanny said, "Your Excellency's old illness has recurred these past few days, and he is in a bad mood. Please bear with me, Master."
"Yeah." Shang Wenqi nodded lightly.
Ning Ning pricked up her ears, but the two didn't chat anymore. However, these few sentences were enough to shock Ning Ning.
First of all, I was shocked by the content. The Queen Mother was in a bad mood these past two days? Wouldn't it be unlucky for her to show up at this critical moment?
Secondly, this female official sounds quite old, and should be a capable nanny beside the empress dowager. However, this nanny is called Shang Wenqi... Master?
What master?
Is he a lord who holds an official position, or... the queen mother's...
Ning Ning couldn't help but imagine the bloody drama of Shang Wenqi and the Queen Mother having an affair. Theoretically speaking... this possibility cannot be ruled out...
The storyteller once said that the empress dowager married the late emperor at the age of 18. They were in love for more than ten years but ended up having only one daughter. 18 years plus more than ten years, at most she was in her early thirties. Strictly speaking, the empress dowager was still a young person.
As the most powerful woman in Daliang, what's wrong with keeping a few handsome guys? It's reasonable!
Isn't that what she planned?
The more Ning Ning thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable. No wonder Shang Wenqi was so dismissive of her poaching. No wonder he held such a high position at such a young age. It turned out that he had not only put in a lot of effort, but also... physical strength.
Because of this matter, Ning Ning didn't have time to be nervous. While she was daydreaming, Shang Wenqi had already put her on the ground.
Ning Ning was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden landing. Her feet went weak and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Shang Wenqi was quick to help her up, and Ning Ning landed safely.
It was at this time that she realized that the black cloth wrapped around her body was quite cleverly tied, and she couldn't get out of it unless it was untied from the outside.
In that case, Ning Ning simply knelt on the ground and didn't move.
At this moment, Ning Ning heard a rather low female voice about three meters away.
"Aqi, come closer."
"Yes."
Shang Wenqi lowered his brows and walked past Ning Ning, then passed through the pearl curtain and entered the inner room.
Ning Ning only heard the sound of the bead curtain shaking, and after a while the sound of clothes rustling came from inside, and then she heard the low female voice again.
"Is the silver needle still there?"
Shang Wenqi shook his head.
"You used it?" The woman was surprised at first, then sighed with some guilt: "I thought you could come back before the full moon, but you were delayed. I should have sent Si Jing earlier, so you wouldn't have to use the silver needle."
"I can bear it." Shang Wenqi clasped his fists and lowered his eyes.
Regardless of what the situation was at the moment, the conversation between these two people alone completely shocked Ning Ning.
Damn it, damn it!
Look what she heard!
The night of the full moon... If you count carefully, it should be the night when Shang Wenqi was poisoned, right? Did the Queen Mother know that Shang Wenqi would be poisoned? Or does Shang Wenqi get poisoned every night of the full moon?
How could a good person's symptoms of poisoning be the symptoms of being drugged?
Ning Ning felt that all her previous fantasies were right. Could Shang Wenqi really be the Queen Mother's lover? In order to control him, he was given a poison that would poison him every full moon night. Only the Queen Mother's antidote or a night of passion with the Queen Mother could detoxify him?
Ning Ning felt that the CPU in her brain was about to burn out. What kind of forbidden love was this? It was too bloody and exciting!
What was the meaning of them talking about this in front of her? Did they treat her as dead? Ning Ning felt like she was struck by lightning.
At this time, the private conversation between the woman inside and Shang Wenqi had ended, and she had turned her gaze to the woman tied up in black cloth outside the bead curtain.
"Is she the one I want?"
"Yes." Shang Wenqi said concisely.
"Mammy, untie her restraints," the woman ordered calmly.
The nanny who was in the outer hall like Ning Ning immediately walked towards Ning Ning and quickly untied Ning Ning's restraints.
The moment the black cloth was removed, Ning Ning narrowed her eyes and adjusted to the light in the room.
The room is not big, but the cabinets, chairs and even the furniture are antique, and every item exudes the expensiveness of ancient craftsmanship.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that there is a crystal bead curtain in the middle of the room, and a woman is sitting in the main seat behind the curtain.
She was wearing a gorgeous black and yellow dress, her hair was combed meticulously, and the pearl hairpin on her hair sparkled in the light of the oil lamp.
Ning Ning couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she knew that the woman was indeed young and still had a special charm.
Shang Wenqi stood below her. His tall and straight figure and this beauty really looked like a perfect match for a hero.
Although Ning Ning was a modern person, she still had some sense. She just took a quick glance and then looked away, and even prostrated herself on the ground respectfully and greeted him politely.
"Ning Ning, the daughter of Ning Zhongyi, the gold official in northern Daliang, pays respect to you, my Lord."
Hearing this, the woman looked at Shang Wenqi in surprise: "Oh, did you tell her my identity?"
Shang Wenqi clasped his hands together and shook his head.
Outside, Ning Ning spoke at the right time: "This is my guess, and it has nothing to do with others."
The woman became interested: "Then tell me who I am?"
"I dare not speak." Ning Ning still prostrated herself politely without looking up. "However, I know that you can definitely help my father clear his grievances. I hope you will have mercy on me and make the decision for me."
Ning Ning did not directly reveal the empress dowager's identity, mainly because Shang Wenqi was very quiet when he carried her into the palace, and even after entering the room, no one mentioned the identity of the person in the hall.
If the people in the hall wanted to show off their status, the eunuch should have ordered her to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager as soon as she came in.
Therefore, Ning Ning chose to remain vague.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, it was obvious that the woman inside was laughing.
