Chapter 158: The King Has a Will
The wheels turned, and Gao Yin's carriage slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Ji Yu stood there dumbfounded.
Two guards stepped forward to put shackles and anklets on her.
She thought that Gao Yin was here to save her, but he didn't expect that he would mobilize the crowd to come just to let her play a song.
"Jiaojiao......" The worried voices of Magu and Zhao Pozi suddenly pulled back Ji Yan's thoughts.
Ji Wei glanced up at Aunt Ma and Mrs. Zhao.
Two guards escorted her to her knees.
As soon as Gao Yin left, the prison officer and He Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they didn't dare to offend Gao Yin.
The warden glanced at the executioner, and he said in a deep voice, "Execute immediately." ”
"It's my lord. The executioner walked towards Ji Yu with a big knife in his hand.
Looking at Gao Yin's carriage, the corners of Princess Jiang He's mouth curved, she couldn't help laughing, she hooked her lips and said, "I said that people like Ji Yu will definitely not be able to enter Gao Yin's brother's eyes." ”
She looked happy, and there was a little smugness in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, she casually glanced at Mrs. Fan and said, "You all get up!"
Princess Jiang He didn't look at Ji Yu again, she slowly got up and said, "We should go back too." ”
Mrs. Fan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
The moment she went out, Princess Jiang He paused, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Fan and said, "Check the four foxes beside Brother Gao Yin." ”
Mrs. Fan said, "Yes, princess." ”
Gao Chen held the teacup in his hand, and the teacup had already reached his lips, but he didn't open his mouth, his brows frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Could it be that Gao Yin came just to listen to Ji's aunt play a song?
He always felt that things were not so simple.
He turned his head to see that Gao Yin's carriage was no longer visible.
Ji Man was hidden in the crowd, she couldn't take her eyes off Ji Yu and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, her smile was extraordinarily bright, and her face was full of killing intent.
She never thought that Gao Yin was here to save Ji Yan.
In front of everyone's eyes, the executioner strode up to Ji Wei's side, and he held the big knife in both hands and slowly raised it towards Ji Wei.
"Jiaojiao ......" Magu and Mrs. Zhao were knocked aside by the guards, Magu sat on the ground with a soft face and a desperate face, and Mrs. Zhao's face was also ugly.
Ji Wei's eyes flickered, and then she shouted that Lu Li didn't cooperate with her anymore, and she didn't know what had happened.
At this moment, she really had nothing to do.
Even though she was unwilling, Ji Yu slowly raised her head, she glanced at Magu and Mrs. Zhao, and a lot of worry flashed in her eyes.
If she died, Ji Man would definitely not let them go.
It wasn't until this moment that Ji Yu realized her insignificance and helplessness.
She once naively thought that she was already capable of bringing down Xu Hong.
Unexpectedly, she was planted in the hands of Princess Jiang He.
Xu Hong has been up and down in officialdom for decades, and his methods are many times more powerful than Princess Jiang He.
With unwillingness and full of regret, Ji Yu slowly closed her eyes.
The executioner watched Ji Yu swing the big knife in his hand hard.
"Jiaojiao......" Magu screamed in horror, and her body fainted.
She has no children and no daughters, and has long regarded Jiaojiao as her own daughter.
Mrs. Zhao took Magu's soft body, she bit her lip tightly and watched Ji Yu's tears fall down line by line.
Princess Jiang He has already left the teahouse.
Suddenly, a familiar figure rode a horse in front of Princess Jiang He and galloped over.
At the last moment, Zhao Xin shouted loudly: "The king has a will, and he will keep people under the knife." ”
"Bang ......" As soon as his voice fell, the big knife in the executioner's hand fell to the ground at once.
Ji Yu opened her eyes suddenly, and she looked at Zhao Xin in disbelief.
Princess Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Xin.
The onlookers also looked at Zhao Xin for a moment.
The supervisor and He Zhan glanced at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both of them.
Zhao Xin turned over and dismounted, and the supervisor and He Zhan strode up to meet him.
Zhao Xin glanced at it casually, he slowly spread out the holy decree in his hand, and everyone present knelt down.
Zhao Xin looked at the holy decree and said loudly: "The king has a decree, there are many doubts about the case of Ji's aunt stealing the pearl, and the criminal department will be remanded for retrial." ”
As soon as Zhao Xin's voice fell, Ji Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she closed her eyes gently.
Gao Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and at that time Mu Chen came back.
He looked at Mu Chen intently and said, "Go and find out why the king suddenly intervened in this matter?"
In the past few days, Ji's aunt has made a lot of noise about stealing pearls, and the king has already known but has not asked, why did he suddenly intervene at this time?
Ji Man looked at Ji Yu deadly, she couldn't help but take a step back with a disappointed expression.
"Jiaojiao!" Ah Yao and Ah Qiao stepped forward to help her.
Ji Man's eyes narrowed and he said coldly: "I didn't expect Ji Yu to be able to escape this catastrophe." ”
Ji Yu has been escorted to the prison car.
Princess Jiang He glanced at Ji Yu coldly, and she said in a deep voice: "Go back to the palace." ”
Gao Yin's brother didn't know about this earlier, he was just delaying time.
The carriage was ready.
Princess Jiang He was full of questions, and Mrs. Fan helped her and was about to get into the carriage.
Unexpectedly, at that time, Zhu An came.
"Princess, Madame urgently summons you back to the palace. Zhu An arched his hand and said, Princess Jiang He said.
"What did the mother concubine call me for?" Princess Jiang He asked with a narrowed set of eyes.
Zhu An said truthfully: "The slave doesn't know, the king is also in Qiyun Palace at the moment. ”
Princess Jiang He stepped into the carriage.
Ji Boyan hurriedly came to the palace, and the King of Qi let him go back without seeing him.
He returned home with anxiety, only to learn that the king's decree that Ji Yu had not been beheaded, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the Qiyun Palace.
King Qi sat on the soft couch without saying a word, and there was no wave on his face at all, so that people couldn't see the anger.
"King, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up!" Mrs. Hui poured a cup of tea with her own hands and stretched out her hand to hand it to King Qi.
King Qi glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Okay." ”
He reached for the cup of tea.
"Bang Dang ......" Somehow, Huifu let go, and the cup of tea fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the splash of tea fell on the wide sleeves of King Qi.
"The King. Mrs. Hui was startled, she suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at King Qi with a worried face and said, "Is the king so hot? It's all the negligence of the concubine, please punish the king." ”
Mrs. Hui kowtowed her head as she spoke.
Zhao Xin had already returned, and he hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the tea from King Qi's sleeve.
King Qi glanced at Mrs. Hui lightly and said, "Concubine Ai said that she was guilty, I don't know what the guilt is?"
Mrs. Hui chuckled in her heart, and her eyes fluttered rapidly.
Under the gaze of King Qi, Mrs. Hui looked up at King Qi and said, "It's all the concubines who are clumsy and don't take the teacups well." ”
Zhao Xin poured another cup of hot tea for King Qi.
King Qi took a casual sip, and he replied casually: "Oh!"
Mrs. Hui fell to her knees motionless.
"Father, mother!" At that time, Princess Jiang He walked in surrounded by maidservants.
Seeing Mrs. Hui kneeling on the ground, Princess Jiang He strode over, she frowned and looked at Mrs. Hui kneeling on the ground and said, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Hui lowered her eyes and glanced at the broken teacup.
Princess Jiang He suddenly understood, and she smiled at King Qi Yingying: "My daughter asks my father for peace." ”
She walked to King Qi in a few steps, looked at King Qi with a smile and said in a coquettish tone: "Father, what should happen to my daughter!
King Qi glanced at her inconspicuously, he fell on Mrs. Hui and said lightly: "Can Concubine Ai be guilty?"
Mrs. Hui's face stiffened, and now she couldn't figure out the king's thoughts more and more, she slowly kowtowed her head: "The concubine is guilty." ”
If the king says she is guilty, then she is guilty.
Qi **'s voice sank: "Your sin is in the goddaughter's way." ”
At that moment, Mrs. Hui and Princess Jiang He were both stunned, and the two of them looked at King Qi fixedly.
Mrs. Hui's heart sank instantly, what Ah He did, she was naturally clear, she didn't intervene, she didn't stop it, she just felt that Ji's aunt was just an insignificant person, even if her piano skills were humble and her status was humble, as long as she didn't die in the palace and provoked criticism, the king had never asked before, she thought that this matter was just that.
Unexpectedly, the king suddenly spoke.
Princess Jiang He frowned and said, "What does my father mean by this?"
King Qi didn't even look at her, Zhao Xin stepped forward to take the teacup in his hand, and King Qi said lightly: "Don't think that the widow doesn't know what happened in the harem." ”
Mrs. Hui was startled, and she was about to open her mouth to defend herself.
King Qi slowly stood up, he casually looked at Mrs. Hui and Princess Jiang He and said: "The widow has received the letter of state from Yan State, and in the near future, Yan Gongzi Ji Xing will take Princess Ji Yue and the Song family to our country, one is to form an alliance, and the other is to ask Ji Auntie for piano skills." ”
Princess Jiang He was stunned for an instant, she was surprised and delighted, so it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Brother Gao Yin, and she didn't see the anger in King Qi's eyes at all.
Madame Hui shuddered violently, and then looked at King Qi with a hint of fear on her face.
King Qi swept his gaze, glanced at Mrs. Hui and Princess Jiang He lightly, and said, "The mess you made, you can clean up by yourself!"
After that, King Qi walked away, not giving Mrs. Hui and Princess Jiang He a chance to speak at all.
"The concubine sends the king. Mrs. Hui glanced at Princess Jiang He, and she kowtowed her head respectfully.
The daughter sent her father to the king. "Princess Jiang He is blessed, her eyes are full of doubts, what does her father mean by this?
As soon as King Qi left, several maidservants immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Hui up.
Mrs. Hui looked at Princess Jiang He intently, with a rare anger on her face.
"Mother concubine......" Princess Jiang He looked at Mrs. Hui with a puzzled face.
"The king said that I have no way to teach my daughter, don't you hear the deep meaning of his words?" Before Princess Jiang He finished speaking, Mrs. Hui interrupted her.
Mrs. Hui said for a moment, and in Princess Jiang He's puzzled gaze, she continued: "The king already knows what you have done. ”
"Mother!" Princess Jiang He grabbed Mrs. Hui's sleeve in a panic and asked, "How will my father know?
Mrs. Hui swept around, and she fell on Ah Zhu on the side and said in a deep voice: "When Ah Zhu was tidying up the side hall of Liuyun Palace, she accidentally left the imperial pearl in Ji Yan's sleeve and caused Ji Yu to be unjustly imprisoned. ”
Mrs. Hui turned things around with a single word.
"Ma'am. Ah Zhu fell to the ground with a limp.
"Please Madame, the princess will spare her life!" she crawled to Mrs. Hui and Princess Jiang He, her eyes full of horror and begging for mercy.
"Mother, what are you going to do here?" Princess Jiang He looked at Mrs. Hui inexplicably.
Immediately, two guards came up and dragged Ah Zhu down.
Mrs. Hui looked at Princess Jiang He expressionlessly and said, "It's not her, do you want to be dragged out by you." ”
Princess Jiang He looked at Mrs. Hui with her eyes slightly open, and she couldn't say a word, and her mother rarely treated her like this.
Mrs. Hui looked at Princess Jiang He intently and said, "Fortunately, Ji's aunt is still alive, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to save you." ”
Princess Jiang He's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a step back: "Ji's aunt is just an insignificant person, how can things be so serious?"
Mrs. Hui's eyes narrowed: "Do you know who the Song family is in the mouth of the king? That is the first qin master of Yan Kingdom, saying that he is here to ask Ji Yu for advice, but in fact, he is here to compete with Ji Yu." ”
Princess Jiang He instantly understood the power, and a trace of fear flashed on her face.
Without waiting for her to speak, Mrs. Hui looked at her and said, "Someone, take the princess down, and don't allow her to step out of the Liuyun Palace, let alone leave the palace." ”
Princess Jiang He naturally didn't want to, Gao Yin came back, she still wanted to see Gao Yin, she looked at Mrs. Hui with a begging face and said, "Mother, I know my mistake, don't lock me up in the Liuyun Palace." ”
Mrs. Hui raised her eyes and glanced at Zhu An.
In an instant, two maidservants came up and sent Princess Jiang He back to Liuyun Palace.
It didn't take long for Ji Yu to return to prison.
Sitting in the darkness, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her neck, then exhaled hard.
Fortunately, the neck and skull have not yet separated.
Ji Yu's eyes were full of doubts, and she didn't know what was going on, the king would personally give an order?
The king should have known about this, but he didn't intervene, so what made him change his mind?
Ji Yu's eyes were rolling, and she was meditating.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and she looked up with narrowed eyes.
Under her gaze, a criminal department strode over, and he glanced at Ji Yu lightly.
"Click. Picked up the key to open the cell, looked at Ji Yu and said: "The palace has found out that it was a maid who accidentally left the pearl in your sleeve, you can leave." ”
Ji Yu was suddenly startled, and she looked at the guard in disbelief.
The guard reached out and opened the door to the cell.
Until she left the Criminal Department, Ji Yu had not come back to her senses.
She raised her hand to block the sunlight, and stood at the entrance of the criminal department looking at the crowd coming and going, and the doubts in her eyes were even worse.
It is obvious that Princess Jiang He intended to frame her, how could she come to such a conclusion lightly?
The string in her heart suddenly relaxed, Ji Yu only felt a chill and a heat on her body, her head was dizzy, and she walked towards Ji's house with heavy steps.
She hadn't gone far until she reached the mouth of a remote alley when a carriage pulled up beside her.
The carriage was very ordinary, and there were no signs.
Ji Wei frowned, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
At that moment, a familiar voice came from the carriage: "Not yet." ”
