After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

From beginning to end, Qiao Nian didn't say a word.

She could understand that Prince Ming's life and death were unknown, and Concubine De Gui, as a mother, would naturally break down and become angry at others.

What's more, she is a royal concubine!

People in high positions like them don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

In their eyes, her life was no life at all.

King Ming beat her until she was half dead, so what if she was beaten to death?

Who told her to be a bitch and a bitch?

Oh!

Qiao Nian knelt on the spot, her expression unchanged, but there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes that were staring at the hem of her skirt.

But why is her life a cheap life?

Why did those women who were beaten to death by King Ming die like this?

For a moment, the anger in Qiao Nian's body reached its peak.

She thought that it would be better if those bandits just disembowel King Ming!

However, when Concubine De Gui's crying voice gradually became quieter, Qiao Nian's anger also calmed down a little.

Her reason told her that King Ming could not die.

Prince Ming is the only quickest way for her to escape from the palace now.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's hand hanging by her side couldn't help but clenched into a fist.

Chu Qi, you must not die.

Even if you are going to die, you must marry me first before you die!

Qiao Nian didn't know how long she had been kneeling. She only knew that her shadow slowly moved from the west to the east. Concubine De Gui had also cried several times and was lying on the soft couch beside her to rest.

But a palace maid came in and saluted Concubine De, "Your Majesty, General Xiao and Mr. Lin Xiaohou are asking for an audience."

Hearing the names of these two people, Qiao Nian's eyebrows twisted unconsciously.

On the soft couch, Concubine De Gui also sat up and looked at Qiao Nian with red and swollen eyes from crying. She couldn't help but sneered, "Oh, you are quite capable! Qi'er is not dead yet, and there are two A man is here to protect you!"

After drinking, she glared at the palace maid and said, "Get out of here, I'll see you!"

Unexpectedly, the palace maid looked embarrassed and hesitated, "Yes, but General Xiao said that it concerns King Ming."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui seemed to be energized and got off the soft couch all of a sudden, "Quick, please!"

The palace maid then responded and retreated. Not long after, two tall figures entered the room one after another.

Xiao Heng and Lin Ye had no expressions when they saw Qiao Nian kneeling aside.

After all, the two of them came in a hurry after hearing the news that Qiao Nian was angered by Concubine De.

And Qiao Nian never looked at them. Even if their shadows broke into her sight, she looked away for fear of staining her eyes.

I heard the two people step forward and salute, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Concubine De Gui hurriedly waved her hand, "No need to be polite, you said there is news about Qi'er? How about it, is Qi'er back?"

Xiao Heng shook his head slightly.

Seeing the disappointed look on Concubine De Gui's face, he spoke again, "However, the bandits just sent a letter to Jingzhao Mansion. It was written by Prince Ming. My subordinates checked it and the ink should be from half an hour ago. of."

In other words, King Ming was still alive at least half an hour ago.

But after listening to Xiao Heng's words, Concubine De Gui was not relieved at all, but she shed tears again, feeling a little lost.

"Those bandits dared to report themselves to the mountain gate, and even delivered a letter to Jingzhao Mansion openly. It can be seen that they are not simple. But why don't they stay in Yongbei properly, and why do they kidnap my Qi'er? What on earth are they doing? What do you want?”

Concubine De Gui looked forward to knowing the answer from Xiao Heng and Lin Ye.

She thought that since he was a bandit, he must be looking for money.

She still has a lot of properties in her name, and she can even get some from her parents' family, as long as her Qi'er can return safely!

However, Xiao Heng's answer made Concubine De Gui completely lose the strength to hold on.

Just listen to Xiao Heng's indifferent voice saying, "They want the government's approval to allow them to stay in Hezhou and not live in the mountains."

They want to be recognized by the government, to dominate the mountains and become kings, and to rob families and homes!

This was the confidence given to them by the failure of the imperial court to send troops to suppress bandits several times.

But, how is it possible?

Isn't such a request equivalent to throwing the emperor's face to the ground and trampling on it?

Even if those bandits hold Prince Ming's life in their hands, the Emperor will not agree.

Your Majesty, you have too many sons...

Concubine De Gui slumped down on the ground helplessly. Fortunately, the palace maids on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her onto a chair.

Concubine De Gui leaned back in her chair, tears streaming down her face, "What can I do? What should my son do?"

Is there really only one way to die?

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye suddenly spoke, "My dear concubine, don't be impatient. Your Majesty has sent General Xiao to lead the troops, and they will definitely be able to rescue Prince Ming."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui just smiled weakly, "Do you know where those bandits are?"

The bandits who captured King Ming were obviously not the bandits swimming in the north.

A group of them came from Yongbei and captured Queen Ming, who must be hiding somewhere.

However, no one knows where they are hiding.

Hearing Concubine De's wry smile, Lin Ye hurriedly said, "Wei Chen and General Xiao came here this time precisely for this matter."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui was stunned and looked at Lin Ye in confusion, "What do you mean?"

However, Lin Ye turned to look at Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian still kept her eyes down, but she was keenly aware of Lin Ye's gaze, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted.

Lin Ye said, "The letter from Prince Ming said that the bandits agreed to exchange for Princess Ming."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian finally raised her eyes and looked at Lin Ye.

She wanted to explore what Lin Ye was looking at, but Lin Ye did not dare to look at Qiao Nian and quickly looked away.

As for Xiao Heng, he still did not look at Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't help laughing.

Exchange for Princess Ming?

In other words, she could be used to exchange for Prince Ming?

Then, what about her?

She was just a woman. If she fell into the hands of those bandits, what good would happen to her?

If the emperor was unwilling to save Prince Ming, would he be willing to save her, the ridiculous Princess Ming?

What's more, she and Prince Ming had not even had a ceremony to get married, so how could she be considered Princess Ming?

However, Concubine De seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and rushed towards Qiao Nian, "Niannian, Niannian..."

She called out, tears in her eyes, and she had lost the momentum of throwing the teacup at her before.

Because of the action of rushing over, Concubine De even knelt down in front of Qiao Nian, "You are a good child, you are the kindest, I beg you, please save Qi'er!"

After that, Concubine De actually kowtowed to Qiao Nian.

The palace maid beside her hurriedly stopped her, and Qiao Nian also frowned tightly.

She didn't want to agree.

Her life is also a life, why should she use her life to exchange for the life of the Ming King?

But...

Since this matter came from Lin Ye's mouth, it is not something she can control.

Rather than waiting for the emperor to issue an order and being forcibly tied up and sent to the group of bandits, it is better to go with the flow and sell this favor.

So, she reached out and supported Concubine De, "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely bring Prince Ming back safely."
