Chapter 180: Discovering the Secret Edict
Jin Xin sighed, such a big matter, even if Steward Li takes the next person's mouth strictly, there are times when he accidentally says something wrong, not to mention that he hasn't seen Lu Mingyue for a day in the cold night, he will definitely go to investigate.
Jinxin turned to look at Ye Han and said, "Since you know, I won't hide it from you, the princess is indeed locked up in the prison." ”
"I'll go and inform the prince to return to Beijing."
Ye Han said that he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Ye Han, do you know that the emperor is seriously ill now, although the prince can learn the news that the emperor is seriously ill, but the emperor has not summoned the prince back to Beijing, if the prince returns to Beijing for the princess, I am afraid that it will not only be the princess who is in trouble, but even the prince will be in trouble."
Jinxin hurriedly stopped the night cold who wanted to leave.
When Ye Han heard Jinxin say this, he stopped, frowned and asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Only wait and see what happens for the time being."
Jinxin sighed, it seems that this matter cannot be rushed or slowed.
In the evening, after Jinxin received the news from Nangong Rui, he stood in front of the window and looked at the bare tree trunks outside the house, frowning.
With such a nervous mood, I finally made a decision three days later.
It's been three days, and the result of Lu Mingyue's trial has finally come down, Lu Mingyue sucked the blood of the palace maid in the palace, plus the "bloodsucking incident" in the capital
was also added to her, Lu Mingyue was sentenced to be burned at the stake, because the emperor was seriously ill and could not see blood, so the date of execution was not announced for a long time.
Jinxin's guess was right, someone really set a trap as soon as they returned to Beijing.
Now there is only one way to save people!
And Lu Mingyue's matter has now spread all over the capital, and there are many discussions in the streets and alleys, everyone is afraid of the Juewang Mansion, even if Lu Mingyue is not in the mansion, they still can't avoid it, and would rather take a long detour than pass in front of the gate of the Juewang Mansion, for fear that something will happen.
Jin Xin looked at the people in the Juewang Mansion, but he was doing what he should do in an orderly manner, keeping his duty, and not chewing his tongue too much, it seems that Steward Li has already ordered and warned the people in the mansion.
Jinxin returned to the room and asked, "Where is the pavilion master?" ”
Jinxin had already sent a letter to the pavilion master, informing Lu Mingyue of the matter, presumably on the way to the capital by now.
"Aunt Yanying wrote that she would arrive in the capital in two days, telling us to pay close attention to the movements of the prison."
Xiao Xiao replied to Jinxin, but his face still revealed a worried look.
Jinxin nodded, thoughtful.
In another hidden mansion in the capital," he said. ”
The person at the top drank hot tea and looked leisurely.
"The monarch of Liangguo has promised his master to contain Nangong Jue, and has sent troops to besiege Fengcheng with Wuguo, Nangong Jue is now too busy to take care of himself, and if he wants to return to the capital, I am afraid it is impossible."
The person next replied respectfully.
When the person at the top heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he seemed to be quite proud.
"How about letting Nangong Jue know about Lu Mingyue's imprisonment in the heavenly prison by the way?"
After the man at the top finished speaking, his lips touched the teacup and tasted the best fragrant tea.
"Nangong Jue is now an ant on a hot pot."
The next person said.
"Humph! It's better to let him mess with his mind, if he never comes back in Fengcheng, it will be even better. ”
The people at the top hope so.
"One more thing, subordinates, subordinates."
The person at the bottom asked if he could reply.
"What's the matter?"
The person at the top is in a good mood right now.
"Nangong Jue knew about Lu Mingyue, it wasn't our people who revealed it to him, but someone had already told Nangong Jue before us."
The next person said cautiously.
The person at the top frowned, "It seems that there are still people who don't want Nangong to have a good time!" ”
Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to let the person under the head go down.
In the palace of the emperor, the crown prince Nangong Su was summoned by the emperor, and the emperor asked two words about the court and asked him to take care of government affairs, so he felt tired and lay down to rest.
Nangong Su saw that the emperor's body was not as good as day by day, and he also knew that the emperor was afraid that he would not be able to last a few days, once the emperor died, Nangong Su would naturally inherit the throne from the crown prince, and it was justifiable.
However, now that this situation is in place, why has the emperor not issued an edict for a long time.
"What the hell is he waiting for?"
Nangong Su wondered if the emperor had any other plans.
The people in the palace were all taken away by Nangong Su, and Nangong Su stayed by the emperor's side under the pretext of filial piety.
After Nangong waited for the emperor to fall asleep, he rummaged through the palace lightly.
Nangong Su was just suspicious, he didn't really want to find anything that made him uneasy, but he found an edict in a brocade box.
Nangong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nervously picked up Bo Juan lying in the brocade box, slowly unfolded it, and looked at it word by word, and finally there was a big jade seal.
Nangong Su's hands trembled, he couldn't believe that his father had really handed over the throne to someone else, but it was clear that he was the current crown prince, and he should inherit the throne justifiably.
"What are you doing?"
The emperor suddenly spoke, which startled Nangong Su, and Bo Juan in Nangong Su's hand also fell immediately.
"Father, why?"
Nangong Su took two steps forward and stood in front of his father's bed, questioning the dying man lying on the bed.
When the emperor saw Bo Juan, who had fallen to the ground, he knew that Nangong Su had found the edict.
"Ahem."
The emperor coughed twice, and said slowly: "Su'er, I won't hide it from you, cough, cough." ”
"What am I not as good as the seventh brother, is it because of his great achievements, or because I am a wreck from beginning to end in the eyes of my father?"
Nangong Su angrily rushed at the emperor, his hands clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"Su'er, it's not that you're bad, it's just that this is a matter of governing the world, cough, cough, cough, your ability is not enough, cough, cough."
The emperor coughed as he spoke.
"Humph! Then why did you let me sit on the throne of the crown prince in the first place, and now let me fall down heavily, this is your father's love, calculating his son! ”
Nangong Su forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and looked at his beloved father in front of him, who was so kind to him.
"Su'er, ahem."
The emperor coughed excitedly.
Nangong Su saw that there was no one around, his eyes were red, and he slowly approached the emperor.
"Ahem, ahem."
The emperor was still coughing, and he didn't notice anything unusual until Nangong Su's figure gradually enlarged in front of the emperor's eyes.
Nangong was ruthless, stretched out his hands, and stretched out his hands towards the emperor.
"What are you going to do?"
The emperor looked at Nangong Su with tired eyes.
"Father, you forced me."
Nangong Su's hand gradually approached the emperor.
