March 3 is the Xuanyuan Festival, every household is busy worshipping their ancestors, after noon did not wait for the palace to rest the news of the emperor's serious illness, which is only three days from the good news of the emperor's recovery.
How busy the palace is can be imagined, the prison located in the palace Jiusi Lane is not peaceful, the reason is that two hours ago a sinner was imprisoned, that is, she made the emperor angry in the palace, and then half an hour ago, the eighth prince arrived in the prison, and he has not come out yet.
A cell is a cell, so there is not much difference, Qi Xiangsi is very adaptable, looking at the eighth prince who came to sit on the chair, there was always a smile on his face.
"I'll come and see you for Eleven."
Qi Xiangsi lowered his head slightly: "There is the eighth prince of Lao, the smell in the cell is not smooth, it is not good for your body to stay for a long time, you are a noble body, it is better to go out early." ”
Yan Congmu's expression was full of appreciation, she had been in the Criminal Department for more than a month, and she was still so calm, which was indeed extraordinary.
"Speaking of this, I would like to thank Miss Qi for the medicine she prescribed, which helped Ben Wang cure his old illness for many years, and now think about it, the old gentleman I met in Yongzhou back then, could it be Miss Qi's family?"
"His Royal Highness also said that he didn't know what the person's name was, and the people's daughter didn't know it either." Qi Xiangsi denied it, "As for His Highness's illness, I am ashamed to say that the people's daughter did not do anything, it is the result of your careful care for so many years, Your Highness." ”
Yan Congmu had a smile on his face: "Miss Qi, you are really an interesting person." ”
Qi Xiangsi's heart tightened, and he didn't believe what he said about the visit, now that the emperor suddenly had an accident, and the palace was so busy, as a prince, he could still be in the mood to come here to see her, how could it be.
"Your Highness laughed."
"My father's illness has been going on for a long time, and today's incident is not your fault, but someone has to bear the consequences for everything, and what you said in your palace is also a big rebellion." The words were slight, and Yan Congmu seemed to be silently counting, "But with Miss Qi's current situation, the crime of bullying the king has increased and rebelled, in fact, it is just one more case." ”
"Eleven has tried every possible means to deal with the affairs of the Qi family for you, in order to avoid suspicion for such a long time, and not to increase your guilt because of his relationship, he has never visited the Criminal Department, let alone let the people of the Yuwang Mansion participate in it, which shows his intentions."
"It's just that today, my father has a case, I'm afraid that eleven won't be able to protect you."
Qi Xiangsi was silent, Yan Congmu was not in a hurry to end this "visit", he slowly took the teacup from the palace maid's hand, and said slowly after a few sips:
"But this king has a way to get you out of here."
Qi Xiangsi's drooping eyebrows seemed to be dyed with a smile, rescued him?
"You have made meritorious contributions in curing diseases, and this king has not yet married, as long as this king asks his father, you can not only be acquitted, but maybe you can also wear the guilt and make meritorious service."
Qi Xiangsi raised his head suddenly, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes, ridiculous! She thought that he would have conditions, but she didn't expect it to be so ridiculous.
Yan Congmu saw her reaction in his eyes, the smile on his face became gentler and gentler, and he explained with his greatest kindness: "This is just a way to help you get out of here, Eleven loves you so much, this king will not take advantage of people, and when things settle down, the marriage can be stopped." ”
After a moment of silence, there was a birdsong outside the window of the cell, the corners of Qi Xiangsi's mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled: "Eighth Prince, have you ever felt more desperate than death." ”
Yan Congmu smiled and said nothing, Qi Xiangsi glanced at the guards and palace maids behind him, he naturally didn't have it.
"I am unwilling to die, I don't know how long I can live, where I will go, and the result is worse than death. I've experienced this question many times. ”
"Since you know that I am a member of the Qi family, you should also know the case of the Qi family, I was chased and killed when I escaped death, and after I survived, I was captured and taken up the mountain, again and again, the village is as high as this wall, and there is such a window." Qi Xiangsi turned his head to look at the wall of the cell, and his eyes fell on the window, "It's similar to the situation in the cell, one child dies one by one, and some people don't know what to do, the good ones are sold as subordinates, although they are a little bitter, they are still individuals, the bad ones go into the kiln, and they die on the road and become the food for the beasts of the barren mountains, and at that time I feel more desperate than death." ”
"I have experienced the days of not being hungry and unclothed, and it is common to be afraid that I will not wake up the next day after nightfall, and the scenery of the four seasons is reserved for people who have leisure hearts, and some people are only chasing food and clothing all their lives."
"But in the end, I survived, and even now here, it won't be worse than when I first came."
This was to tell him that she had put life and death aside, and Yan Congmu asked rhetorically: "You don't want Eleven to save you out." ”
"When I met the little prince, he was killed and fell into the mountains and forests, and when I saw him again, he was persecuted again, I thought to myself, this prince is not worse than me, and I am not miserable, the brocade clothes and jade food are true, and the fear is also true."
"If you are someone else, you can't imagine what it's like to be on the verge of death and not know if someone will come to save you at the next moment, but even if you have had so many tribulations, the prince has never talked about this, let alone compromised easily."
She wouldn't accept this ridiculous way of rescue, and the prince wouldn't.
"Later, when I met the Eighth Prince, I learned that the prince also has different ways, some people have such luck, they seem to be pitiful but cared for, and some people seem to be glamorous, but there are dangers lurking behind them, and it may not be a good thing for the Ten Princes to be so complacent as well, some of the halos are comparable to sharp swords, and they look enviable, but they don't know the pain of being pierced in their bodies, and even kill people."
Yan Congmu sighed lightly: "In this way, this king is still envied like this." ”
"The life of the Eighth Prince is naturally enviable." Qi Xiangsi is also not afraid to say the words, "Although Concubine Xian died early, the He family has always been your maternal grandfather's family, the Queen Mother raised you, Concubine Shen treated you like her own child, and the emperor loved you." ”
"Miss Qi, why do you think that the emperor loves this king." Looking at so many princes, he is the least noticeable one, and even the ten princes have given the mansion to set up a princess, but he is the only one.
"The emperor has kept you in the palace so far, isn't it to protect you?" Qi Xiangsi's tone also faded, "Aren't you safer in the palace than when the prince is outside." ”
Yan Congyu's eyes moved slightly: "My father really loves Eleven, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never had such treatment." ”
"The Eighth Prince is erudite and knowledgeable, haven't you heard of a word called killing." Qi Xiangsi looked at him directly, "Although I don't have such glory and wealth, I know what a father's true love for his children is, Your Highness, don't you also know it." ”
A faint tone floated in: "You are defending him." ”
The long-standing anger in his heart came out, Qi Xiangsi glared at him, and asked bluntly: "Your Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, why do you test the prince again and again, he regards you as a brother, and runs back and forth for you to find a cure, but you haven't even told the truth what the cause is, and now you are here to doubt whether he is loyal to you, isn't it chilling that you do this!" ”
Yan Congmu's expression was slightly restrained, but he was also calm: "Miss Qi thinks that this king shouldn't be jealous." ”
"If Your Highness is jealous of the little prince's thoughts, then Acacia can only say that the brotherhood between you and the prince is probably just wishful thinking on the part of the prince from the beginning."
"Then what do you think, what is Eleven's mind?"
"What His Highness thinks, not what the prince thinks."
Speaking of this, there is no need to be straightforward, the son that the emperor admires and is most proud of should have the same similarities as him, and what kind of person is the emperor today.
The cell was quiet for a long time, Yan Congmu's face was neither angry nor annoyed, he seemed to comment in a tone: "You are really not afraid of death." ”
"There are so many terrible things, and death is just one of them."
"In this way, you have a bit of a resemblance to Eleven."
Removing that smile, the Eighth Prince's whole person looked much more serious, and he didn't have the approachability he gave people in Su Ri, but revealed some majesty: "You know Eleven so well, but you know why he treats this king with all his heart, it is because of the death of Concubine Xian, and it has something to do with Shen Guifei." ”
"Has Your Highness ever confirmed with the prince?"
"Never."
"Then why does Your Highness conclude that the prince treats you wholeheartedly because of the virtuous concubine? If you have not personally confirmed these things, don't you think that what you are thinking now is an insult to Your Highness and yourself and the prince. ”
"Hahahaha." Yan Congmu suddenly smiled, and he couldn't see the slightest unpleasantness, "Eleven is also blessed to have you defend him like this." ”
"Your Highness, you are wrong again." Qi Xiangsi looked at him with a straight face, "I wasn't born in the royal family, and I don't understand so many twists and turns of the royal rules and doorways, but it's just a sincere exchange for sincerity, the prince treats me well, I treat him well, and it is also my blessing to know the little prince." ”
"Even if he can't get you out?"
"Even if he can't get me out."
Yan Congmu looked at her for a long time: "Doctor Qi, what you said counts?" ”
Qi Xiangsi was shocked in his heart, and knelt down directly, a sigh that was not easy to catch flashed in Yan Congmu's eyes, and he got up and walked out of the cell without saying anything.
Only a few steps later, Qi Xiangsi's respectful congratulatory voice came from behind: "The people's daughter congratulates His Highness and achieves her wish." 166 Reading Network
