Chapter 295: Waiting for Death (Part 1)
Qi Mingrui was dressed in a dark embroidered moire ink robe, and entered the flower hall with a tall posture, looking at Shen Junru and Mrs. Shen sitting in the flower hall, he smiled slightly, his cold face was much softer, and when his eyes fell on Shen Ruohua, who was looking at him from the side, there was a lot of warmth, and he strode in and bowed to Shen Junru and Mrs. Shen: "Lord Shen, madam."

Shen Ziyun, who was holding a small box and eating hands, looked at Qi Mingrui curiously, and pulled the corner of Shen Ruohua's clothes: "Sister, who is he?" It's so good-looking. He looked at the tall Qi Mingrui with admiration.
Mrs. Shen hurriedly glared at him: "There are no rules, and you don't salute General Qi." ”
Shen Ziyun was not restrained, he got up generously and made a gesture towards Qi Mingrui, and said with the appearance of a little adult: "General Qi is fine." Flickering big eyes looked at Qi Mingrui, "Are you a general?" Can fight on horseback? ”
Qi Mingrui looked at him with an expectant look, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, he can fight on horseback." ”
Shen Ziyun suddenly became interested, walked quickly to Qi Mingrui's side, and took his hand: "I also want to learn to ride a horse, but my father said that he can't ride well, you can teach me." ”
Mrs. Shen hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shen Ziyun over: "Don't mess around, come here and sit down." Glancing at Shen Ruohua again: "Before we went to ask someone to send tea, we brought new tea from Baoding Mansion and asked people to make it for General Qi to taste." ”
Shen Ruohua responded with a smile, feeling Qi Mingrui's focused and profound gaze, the roots of his ears were slightly hot, and he lowered his head and turned around and walked out of the flower hall.
In the low and dark cell of Jinyi Guard's prison, Xue Wenhao, dressed in a sloppy and tattered robe, hid in the corner tremblingly, and when he heard the footsteps of people, he would desperately shrink into the corner in fear. These days he was locked up in the edict prison but did not suffer less, although because he was a colt was not interrogated severely, but being beaten and starved is also a common thing, he has never suffered much, and he is used to being pampered, so he is naturally looking forward to life rather than death, hoping that the eldest princess of Shouning can come up with a way to save him.
The eldest princess of Shouning thought of a way to get someone to come in and bring him some food, but he never thought of a way to save him out, he could only wait, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people locked up together, and the fear in his heart became heavier, afraid that they would also drag him out and never come back.
The door of the cell creaked open, and someone walked over to this side, Xue Wenhao was so frightened that he hurriedly squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, and he didn't even have the courage to look up, and the person who only hoped that the person who came in was not going to take him out.
But the footsteps stopped in front of the door of his cell, and just as his heart was in his throat, someone whispered: "Horse, horse, the maid is made by the eldest princess of Shouning." ”
Xue Wenhao sat up straight, looked up, and saw a little palace maid squatting on the edge of the cell, looking at her with a food box in her hand. He crawled over and looked out at the little palace maid by holding on to the prison door: "Did the eldest princess say anything?" Have you ever said when you will release me from prison? He grabbed the door with all his strength, his eyes full of anticipation.
The little palace maid was taken aback by him, took a step back, shook her head and said, "I don't know, the princess didn't say it, she just told the maid to bring some food to the concubine." ”
Xue Wenhao's face was full of disappointment, and he sat on the ground and muttered, "She hasn't thought of a way yet?" I'm afraid that in a few days, I won't even be able to die. ”
The little palace maid looked left and right carefully, opened the food box in her hand, took a few pastries and sent them to the prison: "The princess has ordered, the horse has suffered here for a while, and she specially asked someone to prepare some food for the horse." ”
Xue Wenhao looked at those delicately made pastries, but his heart was indescribably depressed, and waved his hand at the little palace maid: "You go, go back and tell the eldest princess, if she doesn't want to find a way to save me, she will wait to go to the vegetable market to collect my body in two days, they have beaten the old eunuchs of the celebrant to death in the past two days, and King Kang's cronies have also been sent to the vegetable market to be beheaded, how many days does she think I can delay?" ”
The little palace maid Nuo Nuo agreed, and watched Xue Wenhao pick up the pastry and eat it, before she got up and said, "Then, the maid will retire first, and then go back to talk back to the eldest princess." ”
Xue Wenhao ate those carefully prepared pastries that tasted like chewing wax, his heart was full of fear and indignation, and he called the little palace maid again: "You go and tell the eldest princess to let her go to the Marquis Mansion of Guangping to discuss with the Marquis of Guangping, this time the Marquis should return to Kyoto, and he will definitely be able to think of a way." ”
The little palace maid was stunned and said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Guangping has already returned to Kyoto, but it's just ......"
"Just what? Now that he's back, he should know that I'm in prison now, so how can he stand idly by? Xue Wenhao was suddenly anxious and hurriedly asked. He is the greatest hope of the Marquis of Guangping, how could Xue Maoye not let him be locked up in the edict prison like this, waiting to be questioned.
The little palace maid said in a low voice: "I just heard that the Marquis of Guangping was picked up from Datong, although the epidemic was cured, but the root of the disease was left, and now he is still recuperating in the Hou Mansion." ”
Xue Wenhao's face is as ugly as it is, the eldest princess can't think of a way to save him, Xue Maoye is also sick, and now he can't count on anyone, is he just waiting for death? He was so distraught for a moment that he sat on the ground stunned and speechless.
The little palace maid packed up the food box, hurriedly said goodbye to him, turned around and walked out of the cell door quickly, lest she be discovered by the brocade-clothed guards guarding the cell, but she sneaked in while it was convenient for the guards to go, and could not stay for a long time.
He's going to die, so he can only wait to die! Xue Wenhao's heart felt like he had knocked over the sauce plate for a while, the five flavors were mixed, and he was afraid from the bottom of his bones, even if he was a colt, he couldn't save his life, and he was about to be questioned! He took the pastry and stuffed it desperately into his mouth, chewing frantically, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness.
The cheeks were stuffed full, and finally he couldn't stuff it anymore, he opened his mouth and spit out most of it, looking at the mess in the place, Xue Wenhao actually cried whining, he couldn't understand that he was originally a well-known romantic and talented man in the Kyoto Guifu, born a chic and dignified talent, and a splendid article written, which should have been a very popular minister, but why did it become like this, and he could only be locked up in the prison of the edict and wait for death in embarrassment! How did he end up here!
He didn't even care about his face, and cried loudly, as if he could vent the fear in his heart in this way, and the voice was so loud that even the prisoners in the other prisons could hear it clearly, but they were not surprised, in this living hell-like edict, there were people and everything, and there were countless people crying and begging for mercy and seeking death, and there was nothing strange about it. It's just that his crying soon stopped, but it became a wail, and after a few miserable howls, there was no sound, as if something had happened.
