The shadow of the country

In the early morning of that day, Kunhe Palace.

"What did you say? That guard is back again? Are you sure you read it right?" The queen's charming and seductive voice came out, but her face was full of incredible expressions.

"Yes, my subordinates are not mistaken. He first entered the palace as a flute player at the New Year's Eve banquet, and then stayed in Yuefu as a musician." It was the eyeliner in Yilan Palace who answered.

After hearing this, the Queen couldn't believe it: "Yuefu? Even Lin Qixuan is willing to help him? This person is really capable, is this news reliable?"

"Yes, this subordinate even specifically asked the guard at the gate of the palace. The guard said that Qi Xuan was very protective of him at the time, and that he was his younger brother, and he would stay in Yuefu in the future."

"Didn't he be kicked out of the palace a few months ago, why is he back now? Could it be that...Su Yilan transferred him back to the palace?" The queen looked at the guard with half suspicion and half surprise.

"This, my subordinates don't know about it either. I only secretly observed that this person would run to Lanling Hall when the musicians leave the palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month. When the Fifth Prince saw him, he deliberately turned his back to the left and right, as if he didn't want others to know."

"Heh, this person is really powerful. It's really not easy to gain Su Yilan's trust in a year." The queen smiled enchantingly.Although she was charming and charming to the extreme, her eyes were a bit more fierce, and she could tell at a glance that she was a woman with a lot of wealth. "I need this person. You understand what I mean."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately." The guard's cold and decisive voice floated in the air, without any emotion.

This day happened to be the first day of the new year, and Mu Yan went straight to Lanling Hall after leaving Yuefu.When walking halfway, suddenly a man with a peach blossom face and a beautiful appearance stepped forward to block the way, "The Empress, please go and talk." The man said.

"You are?..." Mu Yan asked suspiciously.The person in front of him was very familiar, but for a while, he couldn't think of where he had seen him.

"You don't need to know who I am, hurry up and follow me to Kunhe Palace." The man's tone was extremely cold and no one could resist.

Mu Yan also heard the unkindness in the man's tone, and said vigilantly: "But how can the empress recognize me?"

"These have nothing to do with you, just follow me quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

After hearing this, Mu Yan didn't move, but said calmly, "I'm sorry, it's hard to follow my orders."

And the man just sneered.In a blink of an eye, several short arrows flew out of his sleeves and stabbed straight at Mu Yan.Mu Yan didn't expect that person to use a hidden weapon, but he made a decisive decision and turned around a few times to dodge.After turning over a few times, they were behind the man, with their backs to him.When I wanted to turn around just now, I only felt a pain in the back of my neck, and my eyes suddenly went dark, so I didn't know anything.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Yan gradually woke up from his lethargy, but the scene in front of him was very strange. This palace was more magnificent than any other he had seen.And he was lying limp on the ground, unable to exert any strength from his whole body.Just as he was trying to stand up, he heard footsteps.Looking hard, it was the queen who came here, followed by the man who caught her just now.

"Get up when you wake up. I want you to do something." The queen slowly approached at this time, and the fragrance of the sinking water on her body was even stronger.Using this method to "invite" myself over probably wouldn't be a good thing.Mu Yan tried his best to support his heavy body, "What orders does the Empress have?"

"I want Su Yilan's life." A sharp murderous look flashed in the queen's phoenix eyes.Hearing the queen's words, Mu Yan couldn't help being shocked, his eyes were full of astonishment and astonishment.After the queen smiled, she continued: "But I need your help. You have won his trust so much, you should be able to do this easily."

"I'm sorry that I can't help you with this matter." Mu Yan answered cleanly.

"After the matter is completed, your benefits are absolutely indispensable. The ring is fat, the swallows are thin, the golden building is beautiful. As long as you want, I will give you everything."

"No, I won't harm him. What the empress said was never what I asked for." Mu Yan said, staggering against the wall, trying to walk out of the palace gate.

Seeing that he was still persisting like this, the queen turned her head with a cold snort, her cold eyes swept towards the guard behind her.The guard immediately understood, stepped forward, pulled Mu Yan by the lapel of his clothes, lifted him up, exerted a little internal force, and knocked him to the ground.

When Mu Yan was thrown on the ground, he felt a splitting headache.Just now, I couldn't even stand firmly, let alone resist.I just felt that the fall just now almost broke the bones.

"I tell you that you have only two options. Either work for me, or die. Since I am the queen, it is up to me if a little musician wants to kill me or punish me!" the queen said. As soon as the cold and cruel words fell, he turned his head to look at the guard behind him, and said coldly: "Take him to the dungeon for interrogation. I don't believe that he won't let go within three days."

"Yes. My subordinates obey."

After finishing speaking, the guard went to the queen's dressing table, found a very inconspicuous one among the exquisitely carved wooden carvings behind the table, and pushed it hard.A slight sound came out.The guard lifted the carpet on the ground with no gaps.Under the carpet, a deep tunnel with a square meter appeared, and there were stone steps below it, which was the entrance to the dungeon.

At this time, the guard came over again, picked up Mu Yan who was already stunned, and walked slowly into the hidden dungeon.After entering the dungeon, I realized that it was much deeper and deeper than I imagined.The dim candlelight was flickering, making the dungeon even more eerie. The cold atmosphere made Mu Yan shiver.

"Try all means to make him work for your mother. If he still doesn't obey, then let's deal with it quickly." The guard glanced at the two tall jailers standing there, and then threw Mu Yan fiercely. Road on the ground.

"Yes, just don't worry, the empress is satisfied with the safekeeping." The two jailers looked at Mu Yan and smiled darkly.

After the guard left, the two jailers surrounded him.Seeing this, Mu Yan tried to stand up, but it was of no avail.One of the jailers came to Mu Yan, touched his waist and stroked him gently, and said with a smile: "He is a stunner, this time he is such a white and tender man."

Hearing the obscene words of the jailer, Mu Yan couldn't help being extremely disgusted, so he gathered all the strength in his body and flew up, kicking the man's abdomen.The jailer screamed in pain, and then came forward again and said angrily: "I wanted to persuade you with good words, but I didn't want to use the punishment because of pity, and don't blame me for being rude to you if you are so ignorant of current affairs!"

At this time, another jailer came over and said: "I tell you, if you follow the empress, you will never have enough food and clothing in the future. If not, you heard it too—you will not survive after three days. "

"I won't do that for the queen, absolutely not. Besides—" Mu Yan looked around at the creepy instruments of torture, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "Besides, even if you two are completely loyal to the queen, Now I am just a jailer in this dungeon, how can I find a bright future in the future?"

The two jailers couldn't help but startled when they heard Mu Yan's words. Just now, when Mu Yan said the truth, the two of them immediately became angry when they heard it, "There has never been an 'absolute' thing in this world! When death is imminent, it is still unforgiving." , I want to see if your mouth will be as hard as it is now!"

The author has something to say: No matter what, thank you to all the people who have given me encouragement and support, whether they are friends or strangers.

Sincerely wish character and good luck be with you.
