Chapter 507 Dungeon
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, many people were drunk. The emperor's dazed eyes could not leave his new beauty.
So before Su Nuan could wait for Mu Yunting to answer her question, she heard the emperor say that he was drunk and wanted to go back to rest.
Everyone stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.
The emperor had left, and everyone else began to leave as well.
Su Nuan has long wanted to go home. She could get 50,000 taels of silver if she went home. 50,000 taels of silver notes would be a huge stack. She didn't know if Mu Yunting could come up with so many silver notes at once.
She pushed Mu Yunting out, and just as the two of them followed the crowd to the door, suddenly a hand "touched" Su Nuan's waist.
This frightened Su Nuan so much that she quickly turned around and saw that there were women all around her. Being "touched" by a woman was not a big deal, so she didn't care.
For the sake of fifty thousand taels, Su Nuan urged Mu Yunting to walk quickly and be the first to rush out of the palace gate.
The two of them got into the carriage, and Su Nuan suddenly felt annoyed. She came to the palace banquet just to find an opportunity to test the strength of Prince Guang'an, but was delayed by a series of events.
"Prince Guang'an won't kill Xiaobai, right?"
He was very happy at first, but his face fell when Ye Xiaobai was mentioned.
"No, if I wanted to kill him I would have killed him long ago."
"Then if Xiaobai can't bear it and confesses, will King Guang'an think he is useless and kill him?"
"The Ninth Prince is not stupid. Even if Ye Xiaobai confesses, we still need to verify his words. This takes time."
Su Nuan thought about it and muttered, "It's better not to kill him."
That night, Su Nuan couldn't sleep for the first time while nestling in Mu Yunting's arms.
Sensing her anxiety, Mu Yunting felt uncomfortable.
"Don't think too much. Get some sleep. Only when you get enough sleep can you and your child be healthy."
"it is good."
"Close your eyes."
Su Nuan closed her eyes obediently.
But after just a few breaths, Su Nuan's eyes opened again unconsciously.
"I can't sleep. Why don't I go paint for a while? I can sleep when I'm tired."
"No, you can't be tired now."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I'll have someone find Yao Tai. Maybe he has a solution."
"No, he's not sick, why would you ask him to come so late?"
"It's okay for ordinary people to be unable to sleep, but you are different now, you are..."
Su Nuan raised her hand to stop her before she could finish her words. She really didn't want to hear him say anything different about being pregnant. It would make her feel even more annoyed.
"How about letting Miss Liao take a look at it for you?"
Su Nuan still shook her head, "It's my first time staying here overnight. I probably can't get used to sleeping here."
Somehow, when she lay on this bed today, all the messy thoughts in her mind rushed out one after another.
"If this is the reason, then it's simple. Let's go to Duiyueju now."
So the two of them soon appeared in Duiyueju.
She still nestled in Mu Yunting's arms, and this time she actually fell asleep quickly.
In a daze, she saw Xun Zheng's face, and she was talking to her, "It's not time for you to die yet, but you have to forget what happened tonight, otherwise I won't be able to save you next time."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pill was stuffed into her mouth.
Then Su Nuan felt as if she was sinking into endless darkness. She could not feel anything, and the chaos in her mind gradually dissipated.
She finally fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Su Nuan was the only one in the room.
Thinking of the "dream" of last night, she lay in bed in a daze for a while.
The sound of Chun Liu pushing the door brought Su Nuan back to her senses.
"Your Highness, you are finally awake. The Second Prince has been waiting for you for two hours."
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"It was His Highness' order. His Highness said that you did not sleep well last night, and no one is allowed to disturb your rest."
"Where is your highness?"
"Your Highness went to the inn. Princess Fanli sent many gifts this morning, and Your Highness went to return the gifts."
"Hey, what is this?"
Chunliu was packing up the clothes that Su Nuan wore yesterday, and a small paper ball shook out from her skirt.
Su Nuan suddenly remembered that someone "touched" her waist when she left Chongxiao Palace last night. Could it be that this paper ball was stuffed into her belt at that time?
"Show it to me quickly."
Upon hearing this, Chun Liu quickly handed the paper ball to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan unfolded the paper ball and saw two words written in a flamboyant style on it: Dungeon.
What's going on? Whose dungeon is this?
When Su Nuan first saw these two words, she didn't react, but after thinking about them carefully, a guess emerged.
The dungeon was naturally used to lock up prisoners. The only "prisoner" related to Concubine Xia was Ye Xiaobai who broke into Prince Guang'an's Mansion. So it was not difficult to guess who this dungeon belonged to - Prince Guang'an's Mansion.
So this note is telling her that Ye Xiaobai is imprisoned in the dungeon of Guang'an Palace?
So the question is, who wrote the note?
Su Nuan closed her eyes and thought carefully about who she saw when she looked back last night. The yellow skirt, the pink skirt, the green skirt...
Wait, when she turned around, it seemed like someone was pushed back by people who had caught up from behind. That person seemed to be wearing all white, but was that a long gown or a skirt?
Su Nuan stared at the note again and again. The handwriting was a little sloppy, but it was elegant, as if it was written by a woman.
Could it be written by Princess Guang'an? She was really wearing a white dress with pink patterns on the collar and cuffs yesterday.
If the correct answer to the word "dungeon" is that Ye Xiaobai is imprisoned in the dungeon of Prince Guang'an's Mansion, then it is possible that this note was slipped to her by Princess Guang'an.
But she didn't mention it when Su Nuan went to visit her at Prince Guang'an's Mansion yesterday. She had to pass the message in this way. Was it because she was not convenient to say it at that time?
It is also possible that she only found out later that Ye Xiaobai was imprisoned by Prince Guang'an.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case.
"Chunliu, get me that indigo skirt."
"Isn't this one too dark? Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and our Prince's Mansion is decorated with lights and colors. It's so festive. Your Majesty, do you want to wear the scarlet one?"
"Guess why I specifically asked for the indigo one?" Su Nuan asked.
"I don't know." Chun Liu suddenly understood what Su Nuan meant after she finished speaking, and quickly said, "I'll take it for you right away."
Su Nuan took a cup of tea to wash and dress up, and then hurried to Tinglan Pavilion.
At this time in Tinglan Pavilion, Mu Yunyi was trying to persuade Meixiang to go and call Concubine Xia, "It's already this hour, Concubine Xia should get up, go wake her up, I will send her a hairpin from Ruiyin Building tomorrow."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that no one is allowed to disturb the Concubine today. She can sleep as long as she wants. I dare not wake her up. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds out, he will punish me severely."
"Does the Crown Prince favor Concubine Xia so much now?"
"That's right. I really hold you in my hands. Second Prince, how about I make you another pot of tea?"
"I've already drunk six pots of tea. Do you want to kill me with tea?"
