After the emperor is reborn, he just wants to be a salted fish

After nightfall, the moon quietly climbed into the night sky and hung high above.

When Yu Wenjin came out of the imperial study room after reviewing the memorial, he saw the bright moonlight and couldn't help but look up.It rained all night last night, and there is such a bright moonlight tonight. The weather is really uncertain.

He Jin and Aya had already left the palace, the two who talked the most were not there, and it was much quieter around him.But there are also some unaccustomed.

On the way back to Qingfeng Palace, Yue Ming walked behind him, following him quietly, even the footsteps were very soft, if not for the shadow reflected in front of him, Yu Wenjin might have felt that there was no one behind him at all.

Yue Ming is a member of Dugu Ye's "Dark Night" killer organization, and his footsteps are soft, which is also his habit.But? I always feel a little weird.

"Yue Ming," Yu Wenjin said to break the calm: "Have you always walked silently?"

Yue Ming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Generally, yes."

After all, before he was ordered to enter the palace to protect Yu Wenjin, he was a killer.As a qualified killer, it is most basic not to make too much noise when walking, otherwise the target will be disturbed, and the consequence may be to lose his life.

He won't take that risk.

Nobody in their line of business would take that risk.

After walking a little distance, Yu Wenjin asked him again: "Then who is more powerful between you and that moonless girl?"

"Naturally, Miss Wuyue is more powerful," Yue Ming replied without hesitation: "Miss Wuyue has been with you from the beginning, and she is considered to be the first group of people in the organization. No one can beat it?"

"is it?"

Yu Wenjin smiled.He was suddenly curious, if Miss Wuyue and Xuanyuan Zheng were to compete, who would win the upper hand?

He felt that Xuanyuanzheng should be even better.

Yue Ming glanced at Yu Wenjin, and saw a little smile on the corner of his mouth, a little puzzled.Is what I just said interesting, why are you still laughing?The emperor's mind...it's really hard to guess.

Yue Ming shook his shoulders, and then suddenly remembered another thing.He said again: "By the way, Your Majesty, aren't you going to meet Mrs. Zou Er who is being imprisoned in the prison? She seems to be dying soon."

Yu Wenjin froze for a moment, preoccupied with the Beiyu mission's entry into the capital, but forgot the serious things he should have done.

No wonder Zou Yue was hesitant to speak when he came to the palace earlier.At that time, he thought that Zou Yue was worried about the Beiyu Mission, but he did not expect that his second wife had been imprisoned in the prison for several days.

Yu Wenjin paused: "Since you mentioned it, let's go to the prison first."

"Well, I think you should have dinner first."

Yu Wenjin turned to look at Yue Ming.

Yue Ming explained: "Actually, when you were reviewing the memorials in the imperial study, Miss Hongye came over. She specifically explained that you must have dinner after you finish your work. I will let you have dinner first, and I also prepared soup, so it should not be wasted."

Yu Wenjin withdrew his gaze and helped his forehead helplessly. It must be that nagging guy He Jin who told Hongye before he left.

Really...

That's all, if that's the case, then go back to Qingfeng Hall for dinner first, and then go to the prison.Anyway, the night was long, and there was plenty of time to do things.

As soon as Yu Wenjin arrived at Qingfeng Hall, he saw the people in the imperial dining room serving dinner, which was the same as his usual habit, six dishes, three meat, two vegetables and one soup.

But before he left, He Jin told Yu Wenjin to prepare medicinal food or tonic soup for Yu Wenjin, so an extra bowl of black chicken soup was made for him to drink after dinner tonight.

Yu Wenjin raised his eyebrows and sat down silently. When he picked up the chopsticks, he saw Hongye standing next to him staring at him with a smile on his face.

"..." Yu Wenjin smiled: "Hongye, you go out."

Hongye was taken aback: "Why?"

"Then don't stare at me eating, I feel uncomfortable."

"..." Hongye pursed her lips, and silently looked away, but still stood at her original position.

Yu Wenjin shook his head.He knew that they had good intentions, but most of the time he really didn't have much appetite, and it was good enough to ensure that he could eat a little every meal, and eat more...he really couldn't eat.

After dinner, Hongye urged him to drink the bowl of black chicken soup.Since it was soup, not solid food, he regarded it as tea and drank half a bowl.

Although she didn't finish her drink, Hongye still seemed quite happy.

After a short rest, Yu Wenjin calmed down, and after walking around the courtyard to eat and drink, he was ready to go to the prison.

He took Yue Ming and Lin Xi with him.

He has been the emperor in these years, and this is the first time he has come to the prison in person.In his previous life, he was a complete puppet emperor, so naturally he had no reason to come to the prison.

From the outside of the prison, there was nothing special about it, it seemed to be just a slightly larger cell.

But before going in, Yue Ming reminded him: "Your Majesty, please be mentally prepared."

Yu Wenjin was a little puzzled.

Once inside, the light is dim.In addition, it was night again, so I couldn't see very clearly.Only at the corner was a flickering candle flickering.The more you walk inside, the more gloomy you feel, and the chill inside makes you shiver uncontrollably.

Yu Wenjin frowned, resisting the strange feeling of having dick bumps, and continued walking inside as usual.

The cell where Mrs. Zou's second wife was held was in the inner part. Walking all the way, the musty smell in the air became more and more obvious. The more you walked in, the more unpleasant smell became stronger. The smell is mixed in the air, and just smelling it can make people feel a little nauseous.

Yu Wenjin frowned, and raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose. Forgive him for not being able to bear the smell.

In the cells on both sides, there were all kinds of people being imprisoned, but none of them spoke. They just stared straight at Yu Wenjin and his party, as if trying to see through them.

Scary and strange eyes.

Yu Wenjin couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When she arrived in front of the cell where Mrs. Zou Er was being held, Mrs. Zou Er who was lying inside immediately got up and ran to Yu Wenjin with a panicked face. There are ferocious, twisted.

Yu Wenjin took a step back.

"Your Majesty..." Second Madam Zou said in a hoarse voice, "cough cough! Please let me go, I know I was wrong... I don't dare anymore... let it go...cough cough cough cough! Let it go I..."

Yu Wenjin smiled, "Let you go?"

Mrs. Zou stared at Yu Wenjin with red eyes.

"Then who let my poor mother go?" Yu Wenjin said coldly, "But I can give you a chance. Tell me, why did you poison my mother? Also, my mother gave Mrs. Xuanyuan It’s been a few months since you wrote the letter, and who told you?”

A trace of surprise flashed in Mrs. Zou's eyes, and then she let go of the door rail she was holding tightly, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

There was panic in her eyes, and she looked very disturbed.

"Cough, cough, cough..." There was a coughing sound.

She supported the wall next to her and slowly slid down, but? In the blink of an eye, she clutched her chest and coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough—"

Yu Wenjin frowned, and motioned for Yue Ming to go over and open the cell door.

After Yue Ming opened the cell door, Yu Wenjin walked in.He still doesn't believe it, the matter has come to such a point, this second Mrs. Zou still doesn't say anything!

What good does it do her!

He walked towards her, stood still in front of her, and looked down coldly: "Second Madam Zou, please don't challenge my patience, you tell me everything earlier, so you can leave this dark and damp place earlier You don’t want to just cough to death in your cell, do you?”

Mrs. Zou looked up at Yu Wenjin, then lowered her head, as if unwilling to answer his question.

She was still clutching her chest, still coughing: "Ahem..."

Yu Wenjin felt that something was wrong.Mrs. Zou Er is already like this now, why not recruit her?Does she really want to die in this dark cell? !

"Second Madam Zou," Yu Wenjin said again, "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't say anything else, I can only send your precious daughter here to accompany you. The cell opposite you seems to be quite suitable for her Yes, what do you think?"

Madam Zou's eyes widened instantly, and she suddenly raised her head to look at him.

She stretched out her hand, knelt on the ground and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "No...it's none of Xue'er's business...cough cough cough cough cough cough!! Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Those bad things are all my own ideas It was decided, and I told her afterwards, she didn't know before... cough cough cough cough!!"

She coughed violently, as if she was really about to cough up her lungs, and she couldn't even speak in fits and starts, which sounded very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty..." She tugged at Yu Wenjin's clothes: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault...cough cough!!"

"I know it's your fault. What I need to know now is the reason, not your admission."

After saying that, Yu Wenjin shook off her hand and took a few steps to the side to prevent her from pulling his clothes again.

It's really annoying. Now that I know I'm wrong, I'll take it seriously and keep saying the same thing. Are you trying to delay time?

It's a pity that Imperial Concubine Yu has no ability to save her, and Zou Yue has no time to take care of her affairs now.As for Zou Ziqian, the relationship between the two of them is average. I heard that Zou Ziqian doesn't like her as his second mother, and she is not his biological mother, so he has no reason to save her.

Her delay is nothing more than putting herself to death.

"I..." Second Madam Zou covered her mouth, took a breath, and suppressed the feeling of wanting to cough a little.

"The empress dowager interfered with Xue'er's affairs with Your Majesty, that's why I did it..."

Yu Wenjin was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at her with puzzled eyes.

"The concubine always tells your majesty...cough cough...tells you to be a good emperor, she says that every day...your majesty is filial and listens to her, but...the concubine doesn't like Xue'er. I haven't seen her here...for five years...cough cough cough!"

Mrs. Zou looked up at Yu Wenjin: "Xue'er has been in the palace for five years, and His Majesty has never touched her, and you can count the number of times you have seen her?"

"It must be? The concubine told you something, it must be? She didn't let you and Xue'er be together! It was her...it was that woman who stopped you and Xue'er from being together, preventing Xueer from giving birth to the royal family His bloodline... cough cough cough cough!!"

"Cough cough cough-"

Yu Wenjin clenched his hands, closed his eyes and suppressed his anger: "What else?"

"Anything else?" Mrs. Zou suddenly laughed: "Not anymore...that's the reason..."

"..."

"If Your Majesty wants to ask who told me about the letter... Hehe, I forgot..." Mrs. Zou Er sat on the ground with a look of abandonment, and the smile on her face was even weaker: "I'm old, I can't remember It's clear...Anyway, it's a servant from the Concubine's Palace...cough cough cough..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mrs. Zou covered her mouth and coughed again.

The violent coughing sound was very clear in the quiet and gloomy dungeon.

Yu Wenjin pursed his lips tightly, feeling very complicated.He never thought that the reason why Mrs. Zou forced his mother to take the poison was so ridiculous.

Just because he has never touched Concubine Yu, so, is it his mother's fault? !

Why not just poison him?Why not just poison - kill him! !

There are slightly raised blue veins on Yu Wenjin's forehead, and the anger in his chest seems to be gushing out.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered, poison... Didn't the medicine he drank before contain heartbroken grass?Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Yu Wenjin put his hand on his forehead and couldn't help laughing.The laughter is wanton, but there is a hint of sadness.

It's ridiculous, this Zou family is really ridiculous! !

Yue Ming and Lin Xi looked at each other. They were worried, but they didn't know how to break the strange atmosphere.

Yu Wenjin slowly put down his hands, and glanced coldly at Er Madam Zou who was sitting on the ground: "In this case, Madam Zou should also taste what it is like to be poisoned to death by poison."

"..." Second Madam Zou froze, her red eyes were full of surprise.

When Yu Wenjin walked out of the cell, the second Mrs. Zou crawled and rolled to the gate, and shouted at Yu Wenjin's back: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Xue'er, please don't take your anger out on her... what is she?" I didn't do anything wrong..."

"Please! Your Majesty—"

After the roar, the cell fell into silence again.

Yu Wenjin didn't give her any response, and soon disappeared from her sight.She lost her strength and fell to the ground, eyes full of despair.

The surrounding air was cold and smelly, making one feel suffocated.

"Cough cough..."
