Chapter 42: Watering the Ground
A few days later, the three members of King Shun's family walked out of the gate of the Yiwang Mansion and returned to the Shun Palace.
The news naturally reached Leng Zhenhuan's ears.
Leng Zhenhuan ordered someone to arrest Wenzhu Wenlan back and torture them, Wenzhu Wenlan and the two were tortured, but they only bit to death and said that the princess was found out about poisoning the food of King Yiwang and was locked up in the abandoned courtyard, and the two of them were expelled from the house.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to the Yiwang Mansion, saying that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion missed her granddaughter and wanted to invite the princess back to the palace.
Nangong Yitian asked Lord Wei to ask Leng Xiao, and Leng Xiao said, "Don't go back." ”
Let her go back, it must be for King Shun's business, and Wenzhu Wenlan may have been brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, with their fear of Leng Zhenhuan, they will definitely say that she has the intention to betray.
Master Wei smiled, "Then the humble post said that the princess is unwell and will come back another day." ”
Leng Xiao looked at him, "Don't be so troublesome, just say that I won't go back, if I don't go back now, and I won't go back in the future." ”
Lord Wei looked at her, "Princess, are you sure you want to say this?" ”
As soon as he said this, Prime Minister Leng must have known that she had betrayed the family, and he would never show mercy to her.
"Tell me the truth." Leng Xiao said lightly.
Master Wei understood, and his face was very pleased, "Okay, I will tell you the truth." ”
He bowed down and retired, went out and told Leng Xiao's original words to the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion word for word, and the steward was expressionless when he heard the words, "Okay, I know, I also ask Lord Wei to tell the princess a word, Wenzhu Wenlan has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Hmm!" Master Wei gave the order to evict the guests, "Go slowly!" ”
The steward turned around and left, and after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he reported Leng Xiao's words to Leng Zhenhuan, Leng Zhenhuan was not angry, but said coldly, "She thinks Nangong Yitian can protect her?" Naive! ”
The steward asked, "Xiangye, what should Wenzhu Wenlan do?" ”
Leng Zhenhuan's eyes flashed with coldness: "Disobedient, what are you still doing?" ”
"Understood!"
"And ......" Leng Zhenhuan's cool eyes were a little more disgusted, "Let the people who are staring at the Wing Palace's Mansion kill Leng Xiao once they see Leng Xiao walking out of the palace!" ”
The steward replied with the same expression on his face, and bowed down.
Useless people will not stay, let alone rebels, Xiangye can be firmly in the middle and high positions of the court, naturally he can't be a woman's kindness.
Leng Xiao felt a little uncomfortable after Lord Wei relayed the words of the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In fact, since Wenzhu Wenlan was expelled from the palace, she guessed that the two of them might not survive.
The words that the steward asked Master Wei to relay were actually to inform her that Leng Zhenhuan was going to kill them.
Leng Zhenhuan would not think that she had a deep relationship with Wenzhu Wenlan, so the only possibility was that Wenzhu Wenlan did not betray her, but did everything possible to exonerate her.
Therefore, Leng Zhenhuan wanted to use the lives of the two of them to force her to go home.
She didn't want to go back, and if she did, it would be upside down, but she couldn't ignore human life.
After dinner, Leng Xiao went to the main house to find Nangong Yitian.
"You owe me three lives, remember?"
Nangong Yitian's thin lips pursed, as if he was displeased, "You want to save the two of them?" They framed you, don't you want to be merciful at this time? Leng Xiao, irrational. ”
Leng Xiao looked at him, "It was because of a little mercy that I saved King Shun in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and besides, the two of them were kidnapped by Princess Qing to frame me." ”
Nangong Yitian's eyes were as bright as abyss, and he looked at her fixedly for a while before he said slowly: "Okay, this king will send someone to rescue them and return your two lives." ”
Leng Xiao knew that it would not be so easy to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to save people, but he agreed.
Leng Xiao said warmly: "Thank you, after being rescued, please help me send them out of Beijing." ”
"Hmm!" He answered, looking at her steadily.
