Concubine Zhen thought she heard it wrong, looked at her in disbelief, and asked.
"What did you say?"
Hua Manman swears and speaks the truth.
"I know it sounds weird, but I am Hua Manman.
At the beginning, I just fell into a state of suspended animation, and didn't really die.
When I woke up, five years had passed and my appearance had changed dramatically.
I don't know what the hell is going on here.
But I can swear with my life that I am Hua Manman! "
Concubine Zhen was still skeptical of her words and said in a deep voice.
"There is no evidence for what you say, what evidence do you have to prove your identity?"
Hua Manman: "I don't have any evidence, but you can ask me anything about Hua Manman, and try to see if what I said is true or not?"
Concubine Zhen looked at her fixedly and spoke for a long time.
"You said just now that you helped me steal the jade seal?"
Hua Manman: "At the beginning, you asked Mu Qing to send me a message, implying that you wanted my help. I took the risk of stealing the jade seal from King Wu Zhang, and asked Mu Qing to deliver the jade seal to you. Mu Qing sent you a message..."
When Concubine Zhen heard this, she abruptly interrupted her words.
"Enough, don't say any more."
But Hua Manman insisted on saying the last sentence.
"This is the last time I will help you."
Concubine Zhen's complexion has become extremely ugly.
Hua Manman: "I've helped you so many times, can you help me once?"
Concubine Zhen walked slowly in front of her.
Due to the frequent blending of fragrances, Concubine Zhen always has a faint fragrance lingering on her body.
At this time, the fragrance penetrated into Hua Manman's nose, which made her wrinkle her nose uncomfortably.
Concubine Zhen asked coldly: "How did you know these things? Did Mu Qing tell you?"
She still didn't believe that the other party was the second sister.
Hua Manman: "You can also ask about things that Mu Qing doesn't know, such as what happened at home before us, such as the little white cat you raised, the chicken soup you made for me, and when your grandmother passed away, how long did you grow up?" Can't afford to kneel down heartbroken..."
Accompanied by her words, scenes from the past emerged one after another in Concubine Zhen's mind.
Concubine Zhen's expression became more and more complicated.
Hua Manman then said many things that only the sisters knew.
She was very detailed and full of sense of substitution.
Concubine Zhen's heart gradually began to waver.
But she still pretended to be indifferent on the face, cold and authentic.
"What you said is indeed very touching, but I still don't believe that people can come back from the dead. I need to think carefully."
After she finished speaking, she called someone to come in and took Hua Manman down.
As soon as the people left, Concubine Zhen frowned slightly, with an extremely dignified expression.
Li Qiong asked with concern.
"Is the mother concubine in any trouble? Did that woman bully you just now?"
Concubine Zhen: "No, I just can't figure out some things, you can go to your own business first."
Although Li Qiong was curious about what the concubine mother had just said to that woman, he could tell that the concubine mother didn't want to mention what happened just now, so he could only leave obediently.
Xi Xiang walked in, respectful and authentic.
"Reporting to the empress, the servant has ordered Hongdou to be imprisoned."
Concubine Zhen responded casually: "Yes."
Xi Xiang carefully observed her expression and asked softly.
"What is your empress going to do with the red beans?"
Concubine Zhen rubbed her forehead.
This is what worries her the most now.
It stands to reason that she should have arrested Hong Dou and tortured her severely to find out Li Xun's whereabouts.
But what Hongdou said kept reminding Concubine Zhen—
Perhaps, red beans are really flowers.
Even if this is only a one in ten thousand possibility.
But what if it is true? !
As long as Concubine Zhen thinks of this, she can't do anything cruel to Hongdou.
But you can't lock people up all the time.
There must be a result in this matter.
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen stood up and walked out slowly.
Xi Xiang hurried to catch up: "Where is the empress going?"
Concubine Zhen: "Small kitchen."
…
Hua Manman was locked in a small room.
The doors and windows were tightly shut, and the room was dimly lit, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Her hands and feet were still tightly bound, unable to move.
In the quiet environment, any disturbance is particularly obvious.
Suddenly, she heard a small rustling sound outside the house.
Then there was a small meow.
Meow~
Hua Manman regained his spirit immediately.
It's Tongzi!
She looked in the direction of the sound, but the light in the room was too dark, and she could only see a piece of darkness at a glance.
She wanted to speak, but she was afraid of being heard by the people guarding the door.
Just as she was thinking about what to do, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Then came the sound of the lock being unlocked.
The door was pushed open.
The sunlight streamed in, illuminating the small room.
Xi Xiang walked in carrying a mahogany food box.
She put the food box on the table.
As soon as the lid of the food box was opened, Huamanman smelled a strong fragrance.
Xi Xiang took out everything in the food box and put them on the table.
"The imperial concubine rewarded you with these things, come and eat."
Hua Manman: "My arms are still tied, I can't eat, why don't you feed me?"
Xixiang replied angrily.
"You think it's beautiful."
She walked over and helped Hua Manman untie the rope.
Finally regaining her freedom, Hua Manman rubbed her sore wrist and glanced at the door from the corner of her eye.
There were two Habayashi guards standing outside the door, who seemed to be responsible for guarding her.
If she tried to leave through the door, she would definitely be found.
Xi Xiang urged: "Eat quickly."
Hua Manman walked to the table, Ding Qing took a look and found four bowls of chicken soup on the table.
From the color point of view, the four bowls of chicken soup are all the same, and there is almost no difference.
Hua Manman: "There's so much soup, how can I finish it?"
Xixiang had expected such a reaction from her, so she said calmly.
"You don't have to finish it all, you just need to finish all four bowls of soup, and then make two comments on each."
This request was too strange, Hua Manman thought for a while, and came up with a guess.
She picked up the bowl of chicken soup closest to her and took a sip.
Xixiang stared at her movements closely, and immediately asked when she saw this.
"how?"
Hua Manman pouted: "Not bad, very delicious."
Xi Xiang waited for a while, but didn't wait for the next words, couldn't help asking: "That's it?"
Hua Manman asked instead, "Otherwise what else?"
She is not a professional food critic. For her, the only difference between food is good or bad.
Xi Xiang was speechless.
Hua Manman tasted all the remaining three bowls of chicken soup, and finally pointed to the bowl of chicken soup in the middle and said.
"The taste of this soup is my favorite."
Xi Xiang was not only stunned for a moment, but subconsciously asked a question.
"Why?"
Hua Manman: "Because its smell is very familiar, it reminds me of a person."
Xi Xiang asked, "Who do you think of?"
Hua Manman said with nostalgia.
"my sister."
