Chapter 437 Past and present life (1)
After this man left his son to her, there was no news from him. The people sent out to look for him could not find any trace of him. If they had not seen him today, they would have thought he had died in that mountain valley.
Nie Jing replied with a playful smile, "Long time no see, Princess Zhuo. Here! I brought you a gift today."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a quiet and well-behaved beautiful girl walked out from behind him... Who else could it be but Xue Zhenzhen?
Although she had been married into Prince Zhuo's mansion for only half a year, so many things had happened that she had the illusion that she had not seen this person for several years. In her impression, Xue Zhenzhen was a proud daughter of the Earl's mansion who wanted to snatch her away. She even instigated Lu Feiyan to take action at the palace banquet, which ended up hurting both herself and others. But no matter how much she could misbehave, she would definitely not be the woman in front of her who was only dressed in coarse cloth and had eyes as empty as a puppet.
Shen Yu held his forehead with his hand, "What on earth did you do to her?"
She didn't think she was a good person, but seeing Xue Zhenzhen like this made her heart skip a beat. She must have experienced some inhuman abuse, and suddenly she felt that Nie Jing was indeed a pervert.
Her eyes were too straightforward. Nie Jing understood it, but he didn't care. He shrugged and said, "She is the woman with the strongest will I have ever seen. She refused to tell the truth no matter if I was tortured or cut off from water and food. I had no choice but to use the methods used in the army to treat prisoners." It was a bit cruel, but it did work.
"So what is she now?"
"Oh, he was just scared silly." After saying that, he took out a bell and shook it gently.
Xue Zhenzhen suddenly began to tremble without any warning, her whole body seemed to be pierced by an invisible cold wind, and she kept repeating, "I said, I said..."
She instinctively squatted down, hugged herself tightly with her arms, and buried her head deeply between her knees, trying to shrink herself into a claustrophobic and safe eggshell.
Shen Yu also felt a headache seeing her like this. She was such a nice and delicate girl, and look at what she had been tortured into!
She glared at Nie Jing and said, "That's enough."
The person on the other side blinked innocently and said, "I know you want to interrogate me. Now you can start."
Shen Yu: "..." I guess I've become the bad guy who's in cahoots with you.
"Where are you from?"
"... Luocheng, the Chengen Marquis's Mansion."
Shen Yu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the answer. He looked at Nie Jing: Can you do it?
Suspected, Nie Jing glared at her angrily, rang the bell again and asked, "Tell me, where are you from?"
"Ah!! No no no, I'm from Luocheng, from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, I'm Xue Zhenzhen, the daughter of the Xue family, ah!! No no no!"
Shen Yu knew this form of interrogation. Each punishment was accompanied by the sound of bells. Over time, the prisoners would develop a fear of the bells, so what she said was the truth.
This is even more wrong. The origin of this Xue Zhenzhen is indeed strange. It is neither like the infinite rebirth of Xu Yaying's original body, nor like her own transmigration into a book, nor like the transmigration that Xu Yaying herself thought...
But judging from her actions, from her contact with Zheng Yu, but also from her insistent scandal with Lu Yingxing, the plot she knew was obviously from the novel, but her actions seemed like she was reborn...
So Shen Yu decided to change the way she asked. In order not to expose herself, she asked, "How did you know Nie Jing?"
"...He once single-handedly destroyed one of Empress Xu's strongholds."
Empress Xu? It really is a plot from a novel.
Seeing Shen Yu frowning even more, Nie Jing said, "She has said this several times. It's all nonsense. I don't know if her memory is damaged. Anyway, this is what she thinks is the truth."
Shen Yu didn't even look at him. Only she knew that what Xue Zhenzhen said might be true. She had a bold guess in her heart, but it was too absurd. "Who is Empress Xu?"
"...Xu Yaying, the Queen of Luo City." When she said this, a rare different emotion was seen on her face, as if...admiration?
"Who is she to you? Do you admire this... Empress Xu?"
"Empress Xu was a person that all women looked up to throughout her life. She dominated the political arena for forty years. She ruled the country from behind the scenes during her lifetime and carried the coffin of the new emperor after her death. She was also the only legendary woman in the history of Linyue State who was equally praised and criticized for her fame... I admire her very much."
Shen Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a calm voice, "You became her first? That's why you contacted Zheng Yu? That's why you want to marry Zhuo Wang, right? These two are very important to Xu Yaying, right?"
"Yes! But Xu Yaying is not Empress Xu, far from it! Zheng Yu? Zheng Yu... Yes, she is Empress Xu's golden finger behind the scenes. Prince Zhuo died for her and gave Zhuo Chengjun to her. These two people are very important. I must get them... Ah!! No!!"
Nie Jing couldn't stand it anymore, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will have to torture you!" She dared to make up stories about someone else's husband in front of the princess. She must be tired of living.
After hearing her words, Shen Yu's heart was in turmoil, and it took a long time to calm down. Isn't this plot...
She looked at Xu Yaying in shock, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. This was so absurd that it was beyond imagination! ! She was clearly talking about the plot in the book, but this plot didn't exist in this world?
If Xu Yaying's original body was successfully reborn into the seventh life, it would really be possible to achieve it. Dominating the world for forty years? Ruling behind the scenes during her lifetime? Carrying the coffin of the new emperor after her death? This is the most perfect seventh life that Xu Yaying's original body imagined, but...
Shen Yu's pupils constricted, his heart beat violently, and he just stood there in a daze without saying a word.
Gu Yu was afraid that this woman's words might have irritated Princess Daozhuo, so he immediately grabbed her hand and twisted it back, "Tell me! Who sent you here!"
“Ah!! I, I didn’t lie, ah it hurts! I’ll be obedient, I’ll be obedient… wuwuwu.”
Xue Zhenzhen's screams brought Shen Yu back to her senses. She waved her hand and asked Gu Yu to release him. "How did Prince Zhuo... die? Tell me the whole story."
Cangyu frowned and showed a look of disapproval. Alas, she was really so excited because of King Zhuo. This nephew of hers was really in love with him.
Xue Zhenzhen fell to the ground and took a deep breath for a long time before saying, "Prince Zhuo, Prince Zhuo was sentenced to death... He committed suicide on the night of his wedding, and poisoned the wine. The poisoned wine accidentally killed the daughter of the Chen family. Chen's father sought justice for his daughter, and all the people demanded that Prince Zhuo pay with his life. Your Majesty had no choice but to issue an order to behead him."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"what!!!!"
Guyu couldn't stand it anymore, and she kicked the man against the wall when she was exposed.
She still remembered that it was this bad woman who drugged the princess that day, wanting to make her have an affair with a man outside the palace banquet. At the same time, she drugged the room, wanting to make it a done deal with the prince! She didn't expect that she would become a prisoner, and she still wanted to alienate the relationship between the princess and her husband! How abominable!
"All of you, get out..."
After Shen Yu was shocked, he became unexpectedly calm and indifferent.
She had already guessed Xu Zhenzhen's background, but there was still one thing she needed to confirm...
