Volume 2 Chapter 78 The golden cicada sheds its shell

Yang Yu returned to the East Palace, drove all the palace people out, and saw that Yuan Lie was still sitting in front of the chessboard playing chess, so he was a little anxious and angry: "Hurry back alone, but you are not in a hurry at all." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yuan Lie was thinking about where he fell, and he was a little absent-minded: "I already know about the pardon of the Li family, Your Highness has done a good job." He left Bai Zi behind: "I can't save the Liu family, it's not His Highness's fault, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore." ”

Yang Yu originally felt that he had done his best, but after all, he was a little uneasy, but now seeing Yuan Lie's calm appearance, he slowly calmed down: "Then what should I do next?" ”

Yuan Lie shook his head: "Don't do it, the Liu family is difficult to save, and you and I have no power to return to the sky." Yang Yu sat in front of the chessboard hatefully, disrupting Yuan Lie's chess pieces: "It was you who asked Lone to save people at the beginning, but now it doesn't matter if it's still you, sometimes Lone Zhen can't understand you." ”

Yuan Lie put the messy chess pieces back again, his memory was outstanding, and he never forgot it, and there was no mistake in the slightest: "The Liu family's chess move, even if it is eaten by the other party, has already reversed the overall situation, so that His Highness can wash away the doubts in His Majesty's heart, and has played his due role." Yuan Lie raised his head, sat down, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, Yuan Lie is very grateful to you, and I don't dare to ask for more, it was Yuan Lie's negligence, I didn't expect the death of the Liu family to be decided, fortunately, His Royal Highness did not arouse His Majesty's suspicion, which is a great luck." ”

Yang Yu seriously wanted to save people for the first time but failed, looking at Yuan Lie, who didn't put this matter at ease, and said angrily: "What if one day, Lone gives up on you?" ”

Yuan Lie sighed softly: "If His Highness gives up on Yuan Lie, he will definitely encounter a great crisis. His expression was calm and his posture was calm: "If Yuan Lie can pave the way for His Highness and let His Highness walk more smoothly, Yuan Lie will also get what he wants, and he will die without regrets." ”

The prince regretted a little and reprimanded: "Don't say that, what is dead, what is dead." ”

Yuan Lie grabbed Yang Yu's hand, put a chess piece in the palm of his hand, and his eyes were serious: "Your Highness, you must remember that everyone else is a pawn and a pawn to you. ”

The prince looked at Yuan Lie with a serious expression, and finally said, "Lone knows." He paused: "Liu Jia......" will give up like this.

Yuan Lie let out a long sigh: "Let's not disobey Your Majesty's wishes, let's take one step at a time." ”

Qiaofu Annex.

Qiao Mobai walked in from outside the courtyard, his expression was serious, and he was holding a letter in his hand, he saw Lu Ji coming out of the flower hall, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Is Lu Gongzi leaving?" ”

Lu Ji nodded: "His Royal Highness seems to have received some news just now, and left in a hurry, and it is not good to stay here for a long time." ”

Qiao Mobai clenched the envelope in his hand, just after going to court today, the news had already spread all over the Jindu - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interceded for the Li family in His Palace, and His Majesty even agreed to pardon the Li family's female dependents, and in the eyes of the courtiers, His Royal Highness the Prince's position was further stabilized.

All the movements of the crown prince must be controlled by their Qiao Mansion, and the prince is about to choose the crown princess, so he has to return to the palace as soon as possible to let Qiao Zheng know. Qiao Mobai calculated the time, his grandfather Qiao Loufeng was about to arrive in Jindu, and now the situation in Jindu is getting more and more complicated, I don't know if it is good or bad for my grandfather to come back.

An Ning walked back and forth in the room, looking slightly anxious, a small guy knelt on the ground, looking a little uneasy, and Feng Scar stood aside, wanting to speak and stopped.

The Liu family is about to die.

Although the Liu family was framed by the Li family in advance, and the family was ruined, it was really wronged, but after participating in the murder of King Xi, it became a matter of disobedience, and everyone became very cautious even in pleading.

An Ning stopped, as if to confirm again: "The palace has made it clear that the Liu family will be killed?" ”

The little guy nodded: "That's what Lord Zheng said, and he wants the slave maid to tell Her Royal Highness the princess - the palace will send the palace to the palace to carry out the execution, and it will be a matter of Shen Shi today, and Lord Zheng can't interfere in this matter." ”

Emperor Chrysostom said that whoever dares to delay the people below will immediately prepare the poisonous wine in the inner palace Shangfang Division, and when he sees the blood, he can't make the slightest mistake.

The chamberlain would bring the prepared wine and the holy decree to the prison, and saw the people drink the poisoned wine with their own eyes, and only then did they reverse the ritual after verifying that they were dead. When the time comes, it will be impossible to even change the wine in full view.

An Ning didn't expect one thing to be so compact one after another, but when he saw Liu Duancheng, he was about to be killed by his father.

The nature of giving death to a peaceful common man is completely different from giving death to a former four-rank court official. In order to escape the Li family's murder and cover up his identity, Liu Duancheng can only pretend to be his old servant until now, and does not show that he was once a household servant.

Therefore, the emperor did not think of meeting him and asking him in detail about the case of that year.

This is also the cleverness of the man in the shadows, once the emperor asks in detail, the traces on the ledger will not be able to hide it.

She originally wanted to save Liu Duancheng, but she had to wait until she returned to the palace and dealt with her father, but now the time given to her is too short.

An Ning suddenly stood up and asked slowly, "What if...... Shall I save only one? "It's too difficult to save the Liu family, so she can only abandon her pawn to protect the handsome, and saving Liu Duancheng is the best policy. That little guy is Lord Zheng's close confidant, he has been by Lord Zheng's side all the year round, and he has seen a lot of private schemes in prison, otherwise he would not be sent to reply, he lowered his head tightly, and did not dare to look up at the princess, only to hear Princess An Ning ask again.

"If I only save one person, what can I do?"

The little guy put his head on the ground, was silent for a moment, and his voice trembled: "I can't change the wine, I can only change the person, and replace it with other death row prisoners." He paused for a moment: "The chamberlain hasn't seen the prisoners, just need someone else to go in, but ......"

He gritted his teeth: "This matter can't be done without Master Yu." ”

Master Shangshuyu of the Criminal Department will witness the process of giving death on the spot, and then he will have to sign the document, he has seen Liu Duancheng, and it is impossible to bypass him to cheat.

There are also the jailers in charge of detention in the prison, all of whom are familiar with the prisoners, and they all need to be transferred by Lord Yu in order to change people.

An Ning was silent, pondered for a moment, and finally lowered his eyes - Zheng Songjun was a sleek and speculative person in her previous life, so she was easy to control, but Yu Qingfang was a decent, upright but benevolent Qing official.

Originally, she didn't want to pull him into the water.

"Then I'll go see Lord Yu."

Feng Scar stepped forward with a look of disapproval, it was not a good idea to save a criminal minister who had plotted to kill His Royal Highness King Xi and was about to be given death, and it would not do Princess An Ning any good.
