Chapter 857: The Sky Turned Crimson

r Empress of the Western Palace. 。My humble opinion is, I humbly present myself before the Empress Dowager. 。The Regent bowed to her, kneeling on the ground, with utmost respect. 。Empress Dowager Li g...Ye Wen said, puzzled: "Your Majesty is the concubine of the King of Pingxi and has a son with him. Why would she have such an idea" A wise person doesn't speak in riddles. Since she had already been exposed, there was no need for her to pretend anymore. 。The concubine heard her words, revealing a bitter smile and sighing: "I don't want to talk about these things with anyone, and you and I are just strangers who happen to meet. There's no question of trust..." 。But our Yuan'er, since being taught by me, dislikes everyone in this mansion. 。Don't think he goes with the night aunt to eat snacks because he has feelings for her. He only thinks about eating snacks, and there is no relationship between him and the night aunt at all. 。Even if someone gave him a different treat, he would still go for it. 。But he is different from others, he calls you "beautiful elder sister" and he even holds your hand, this shows that he already likes you very much. 。Girl, don't dislike what I say. 。If you're beautiful, you wouldn't be considered beautiful at all. Yet, Yuan'er still insists on calling you "beautiful sister," even if it goes against her conscience. This shows how differently she treats you. 。“ Night Wen said, “How should I tell you, your son called me a beautiful older sister in order to get me to tell him stories” The concubine didn’t know what she was thinking, just saying to herself, "You are Yuan'er's savior. Just because of this point, I trust you and am grateful to you.” 。You asked me why I wanted Prince Pingxi dead, and I tell you, because I'm fed up with that man, I don't want to marry him at all. 。Unfortunately, as women, we have no say in our marriages. If our fathers decide we should get married, we have to obey. 。My family expects me to get married, and I have to get married. 。No one has ever asked me if I am willing to leave my homeland, nor has anyone asked me if I like the person I am going to marry. 。They just thought it was a good match, a suitable union. 。"Maybe they also think marrying me off to the Northern Qi dynasty would make it easier for them to plot things," she said. She paused, then stared at Ye Wenyan for a moment before suddenly asking, "Do you know what they're plotting"Ye Wenyan wanted to say that he probably knew, but what came out was: "How would I know..." 。"After all that, she added, “I’m just a cook.” 。“Well, you’re right. I’ve always trusted my own judgment.” 。Just like I think the King of Pingxi is not competent, he really isn't. 。You're not a cook, and I don't care who you are. I don't even want to know why you came to the palace. 。I only ask you one thing—when you just made Yuan'er vomit, did you see a red light flash by" This question seemed to alert Ye Wenyan, “Red light What red light”The concubine looked slightly disappointed: "It seems like you didn't see it." 。Well, I'm not sure either. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but for a moment just now, I did see a red light flash by. 。It disappeared quickly, before I could even take another look. 。I don't know what that red light is, but the color reminds me of a jewel I lost. 。That is a stone I brought back from Gu Yue. It's my dowry, and it was also my mother's dowry when she married my father. 。Our Lo family has a legend, it seems to be related to the sea. That gemstone can open up an underwater treasure vault. As long as you take that gemstone to the beach, the underwater vault will open itself, and the seawater will split in two, creating a passage for the person holding the gemstone... Oh well, what am I saying to you You wouldn't understand anyway. 。In short, my jewel was lost in the palace and can't be found anymore. If you see it, please return it to me. 。"She finished these and then she was nothing, turning again to look at the child." 。Yet Wen, however, was surprised by the concubine's account of the jewels. 。She was certain the message was related to the boundless sea, but it was incomplete. 。It's unknown whether the Luo family received incomplete information from the very beginning, or if it gradually diverged from its original form over generations. 。But no matter what, redstone, also known as cinnabar, is now in her hands. From then on, it had nothing to do with the Luo family anymore. 。Besides the purple stone and red stone, there are also two other stones. Where could those beShe pondered for a moment before asking the consort, "Are there really such magical gemstones that can part the seas That's like a fairy tale! If the consort has something like this, why wouldn't she keep it safe How could it be lost"The consort sighed again, "It wasn't my intention to lose it. It was Yuan'er who turned it over and took it out to play with, that's how it got lost." 。As for whether the gem is as magical, I haven't verified it. 。However, I think most of it is fake because the same thing doesn't only exist in the Luo family, but also in the Guiyue royal family. It's blue. 。The story that was passed down is also similar to the Luo family's, so my mother told me, it might just be a story, a fantasy about treasure from many, many years ago. 。If such a magical thing exists, why would there be two of them It must be fake. 。So let it go, I have countless jewels in my hand, and I don't lack one. 。Night Wen said in his heart, he already had a number. Blue Stone was from the Guiyue Royal Family, if he could get that stone, then she would have three five-colored stones. 。 Where will the last piece be She was about to retire, to inform the concubine, for there was no more point in staying here. 。As for why this concubine wished for the Pingxi King's death, that was none of her concern. 。The affairs between men and women, she no longer bothered to participate in them. She had a general idea of what the King of Pingxi did, but that was all. 。Including her concubine's family, she could probably guess a little. 。If I'm not mistaken, the iron ore matter should be a scheme conspired with the concubine's family and sent to Guiyue. 。The death of the Big Ox family in Xiguan Village was also done by Pingxi King. 。But all of this, she didn't care about. What was on her mind were the two jewels that she already held in her hands. 。The jewels in her storage bracelet were restless, the two stones pressing close together, vying for light. 。She had a bad feeling, so she hurriedly excused herself. As she reached the doorway, she suddenly felt the room grow dark. 。This kind of darkness isn't the black kind, but a red kind. 。The light in the room suddenly turned red, a blood-curdling red, making one feel as if they were standing alone in a pool of blood. 。The concubine was terrified, she jumped up instantly, wanting to rush out the door to take a look, but she couldn't bear to leave the sleeping child. 。"I could only tell Ye Wen: 'Quickly open the door and see what's going on, is it raining' " I muttered to myself. "It shouldn't be, if it was raining, it wouldn't be red. What exactly happened Did the king have someone killed again"

Ye Wen pulled open the door with a whoosh. For a moment, she even thought someone had been murdered right in front of her," 。Where the eyes landed, a sea of crimson...rt the damage our family has suffered! After all, we don't know much about these things. Wu Gonggong usually handles internal affairs for the Emperor, and he understands the most."Quan Qing's nose alm...
