Chapter 133 Gambling with one’s life
Wen Wan sat on the steps, holding her head up and looking at the people busy in the yard.
This place is very windy and sandy. When they are outdoors, everyone is wrapped in black robes and only one pair of eyes is exposed on their faces, but they seem to be able to easily recognize each other.
This is also the reason why Wen Wan has not acted rashly.
She also asked the little prince, but he gave a nonchalant answer.
"Look at the eyes."
Can you recognize people with such high accuracy by looking at their eyes?
Wen Wan doesn't believe it.
If you just look at their eyes, the little prince and Winn are very similar.
When talking about this issue, Wen Wan frowned.
In the past half month, she seemed to be getting along with the little prince carelessly, looking very pinched, but she secretly observed all useful information.
She visited almost every place in the royal court on the grounds that she was familiar with the environment.
Now, she has formed a complete map of the royal court in her mind.
As long as she cracked the method of identifying each other among the people in the royal court, she would have a chance to escape.
Just kidding, is it possible that you are really here as a substitute?
It's just a show and a complete set.
Winn came behind her carrying a red gold plate filled with washed grapes.
He asked aloud: "The ground is cold, what are you doing sitting here?"
Wen Wan put back her chaotic thoughts and smiled heartlessly.
"Isn't this boring? I'm supervising whether they work hard for His Highness."
"Oh?" Her answers were always weird and beyond his expectation, "Then which one of them is serious and which one is lazy? Tell me, I have clear rewards and punishments."
He sat down next to her, put the plate aside, picked a grape and peeled it carefully, then brought the pulp to her lips.
Wen Wan has become accustomed to his service, so she opens her mouth and bites.
Winn liked the feeling of being fed, and the corner of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, but unfortunately, she couldn't see it under her burqa.
Wen Wan ate a few grapes and asked casually: "The sweet-scented osmanthus saplings in the yard have been planted again. How many times have this happened? Can the sweet-scented osmanthus tree really be raised in the royal court?"
Winn: "This time we have a new gardener. If he can't support us, he will kill himself to apologize. He is so confident, so he must have a solution."
"Oh." Wen Wan was noncommittal.
The two talked for a while, and footsteps sounded outside the yard.
The chief steward walked in and spoke a few words into Winn's ear.
Wen En frowned, stood up reluctantly, and said to Wen Wan in a warm voice:
"My father has something important to do with me. I'll go and come back. I'll have someone prepare a storybook, and someone will send it to me in a while. If you are bored, just read the storybook to pass the time."
Wen Wan waved her hands but did not stand up.
The High Steward and Winn left shortly after.
Another group of people came to the yard, but they were not delivering message books.
Looking at the formation, this group of people is quite old.
People who were working in the yard put down their work in fear and stepped aside.
This group of people ignored the others and walked straight to Wen Wan. Without any explanation, they grabbed her and dragged her out.
Wen Wan felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that the higher-ups in the royal court were probably dissatisfied with the little prince's attitude toward her and wanted to punish her.

The dark and damp underground palace was filled with all kinds of messy and disgusting smells.
After Wen Wan was dragged into the underground palace, someone stepped forward and pulled off her veil.
The woman sitting on the main seat glanced at her with a contemptuous tone.
"I thought she was a beautiful woman who could conquer the country, but she is nothing more than that." Wen Wan: "..."
You are beautiful, why don't you lift the veil to see her?
She just thought about it angrily, and the woman in the main seat really lifted the veil.
That is a woman who still has charm. It can be seen that she must have been a very beautiful woman when she was young.
It's a pity that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't withstand the erosion of time, and all that is left is the unwillingness to be young and beautiful.
She walked up to Wen Wan, raised her hand and held her chin.
"Because of you, the king gave me a harsh scolding, saying that I did not train the slave well. What should I do? Although I am a queen, I have to obey the king's orders."
"So...little girl, don't blame me. If Qi Ting asks him later, you must tell him that I didn't mean to bully you."
When the queen spoke, she looked gentle and pleasant, giving people a green tea feeling that was both upright and upright.
Gentle and not stupid, she immediately realized that the queen was using chicken feathers as arrows, and took the opportunity to sow discord between King Mobei and the young prince.
If the queen's purpose is too obvious, there will be loopholes to exploit.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Queen, I promise to tell the little prince that everything is the king's order."
Wen Wan faced the queen in an instant and said with a smile: "Not only that, I can also continue to look for opportunities to help you provoke the king and the little prince, so that their father and son will turn against each other."
When the queen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with a look of scrutiny.
"What are you talking about? Why am I confused? What do you mean by helping me provoke their relationship?"
She didn't admit it, and Wen Wan didn't panic at all.
"I'm just a slave. As for me, I just want to save my life. More importantly, I just want to be free. Whether it's you or the little prince, whoever can give me what I want, I will do it. ”
After a pause, he smiled softly and said: "But for you, the most you can get by beating and scolding me, a little slave, is that the little prince will complain to the king. Besides, I am just a substitute, and the little prince also There may not be any quarrel between me and the king.”
When the queen heard this, the tenderness on her face finally disappeared.
She sneered and said: "You guys, Duan Chao, are indeed cunning, cunning and treacherous. Qi Ting is so interested in you, you can betray him without any burden."
"Just to survive."
Wen Wan admitted calmly, and then raised her eyes again, meeting the queen's sharp gaze.
"I am a slave. Life or death is not important to you. What role I play is what you should think about, right?"
"What's more, the queen deliberately gave me a loophole. From the bottom of my heart, this trip is just to test and see if I can be used by you, right?"
When the queen heard this, her expression changed drastically.
"You are very smart."
Wen Wan responded and asked with a slight smile: "Are you satisfied with my chess piece?"
The queen was startled, "What an amazing mouth."
Wen Wan waved her hands, looking unconcerned, and said with a smile: "The more powerful you are, the more you can help the queen, don't you think so?"
"That's right."
The queen curled her lips arrogantly, and then ordered her men to let go of Wen Wan's hands and feet.
After the deal was concluded, Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she still has some use value. Fortunately, the Mobei Royal Court, like all the royal families, is full of uses and calculations.
What seems like a simple instigation of rebellion is not testing each other and risking one's life.
Fortunately, the queen won her bet.
She also won.
