The events in the court had a result, which not only shocked the civil and military officials, but also spread rapidly throughout the capital, and then to the remote places outside the capital.

As for what role Fang Xiaoyu played in this matter, there are different opinions outside.

Some people believe that Fang Xiaoyu single-handedly brought down the prime minister of the dynasty, and some say that Fang Xiaoyu is just a fuse, and it is actually the emperor who really wants to attack the prime minister.

Most of the ministers believe in the second type, although they saw with their own eyes in the court how Fang Xiaoyu forced Mei Cangyun to a dead end step by step, but in the end, it was the evidence collected by the emperor that really convicted Mei Cangyun's crime.

For a while, the people in the court were panicked. Those people in the prime minister's party also have differences, some are still firm, and some are because they know that the pain they have experienced is just made by the prime minister and pretending to be kind relief, for their loyalty over the years, it is like a ridiculous joke, and many people immediately closed the door and thanked the guests, and never asked about the prime minister.

Mei Cangyun was put on death row, waiting to be beheaded, and there were not a few people who came to visit him every day, but none of them succeeded. It's not that Mei Cangyun doesn't want to see anyone, but the emperor ordered that no one should visit, and a lot of people were assigned to watch on death row, so as not to rob the prison.

However, there are always exceptions. The emperor's orders can be rejected by most people, but some people always have some special connections and can achieve what they want.

At this time, Mei Cangyun on death row was in good spirits and looked very tired, and her original delicate clothes had some wrinkles. The jailer was not embarrassed, he was still wearing the clothes that had been stripped of his official uniform that day, but after a few days, he couldn't take a shower, and he already had a faint smell.

The important people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all locked up in the same place, regardless of men, women and children, Mei Cangyun's wife Yu Meiyu, and some of the children of the concubines and concubines are all shrunk in a row, exuding a lifeless smell all over their bodies.

Mei Cangyun shrank alone in a corner, her eyes were cloudy, as if she had despaired of the world, her head was lowered, and her eyes were not focused. Some of the scattered strands of hair made him even more depressed, and the chains tied to his hands and feet hung down on the ground, and the slightest movement was a clanging sound.

A bowl of white rice in front of him, a few plates of vegetarian dishes, rarely see diced meat, and not even a few drops of oil flowers, which is no different from pig food for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who are used to eating on weekdays, it is like pig food.

But Mei Cangyun held the bowl of white rice in his hand, and the vegetarian dishes on the plate were covered with white rice, and every bite she ate was bitter.

But he knew that even so, for the sake of being the prime minister of the dynasty, other death row prisoners might not even be able to eat these vegetarian dishes, and sometimes when they reached their mouths, the taste was already rancid.

Mei Cangyun couldn't imagine how she had come to this point. A Fang Xiaoyu who obviously didn't take it to heart, but became the person who sent him off for the last time. Knowing this, he should have started first, instead of accepting fate so passively and watching the people who were originally regarded as ants laughing so presumptively in front of him.

But he was even more surprised by the names that the emperor had found. He was obviously well hidden, because he was familiar with the emperor, he even deliberately set up all kinds of hidden truths for the emperor's character, but he didn't expect that in the end, the truth was still revealed, and he really underestimated the emperor's intelligence ability.

When the evidence was in front of him, he didn't even know how to defend it.

Yes, he never had the intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason and usurping power, but he could not prove his innocence. The layout of his life is to make the Prime Minister's Mansion stand more stable, so stable that even if the emperor wants to suppress it, he has to think about three points, but it is precisely because of this that he is speechless.

What made him sad was that the emperor had already doubted him from the beginning, and even wanted to get rid of him a long time ago, but he still pretended to be nothing in front of him, still trusted him in every way as before, and gave him enough self-aggrandizing illusion to end up like this.

Mei Cangyun felt unwilling. is so unclear, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will suffer with him. And he was smart all his life, but he lost to a girl because of carelessness, which made him very angry in his heart.

Mei Cangyun put down the food, clenched his palms, and the inferior wooden chopsticks broke in his hands.

At this time, the iron chain of the cell door made a dull sound, and almost everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion looked up together, and then saw a man in brocade standing outside the prison door, and the jailer nodded and stood in front of him, and the chain lock in his hand had been opened by him.

The man in the brocade robe entered the prison, and did not seem to care about the sour smell in the prison. He just glanced at Mei Cangyun sympathetically, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the prime minister has lost a lot of weight." ”

"What are you here to do? Look at the old man's jokes? Mei Cangyun sneered. This person appeared in front of him at this moment, and he didn't think that the other party was here to save him.

You don't have any jokes. has already issued an order to behead the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the emperor will never change his sentence overnight.

"The Prime Minister is so angry. However, this king can also understand the prime minister's unwillingness. It's just that even if the prime minister is resentful, this resentment should not be spread towards the king. There is a debtor and a master, Prime Minister, your enemy, but that Fang Xiaoyu is. The person's expression flashed slightly, and there was indescribable hypocrisy in his smile.

"There is a miasma of smoke in this death row, and the resentment is too heavy, I am afraid that the eyes of His Royal Highness King Gong will be dirty, if the prince is fine, please go back." Mei Cangyun didn't raise his eyes. From the beginning, he didn't like Ye Shucheng very much. He seems to be gentle and elegant, but he is completely indifferent in his bones.

He is smiling at you on the surface, but there is not the slightest smile in his eyes. When he wants to use you, although he is not enthusiastic, he can make you feel his sincerity, but in fact, this sincerity is disguised by him layer by layer, and then used as a tool to deceive people.

At one point, he suspected that this man had no heart at all. He used to be a corporal to him, saying that he wanted to marry Chunshui as a side concubine, but he knew very well in his heart that what Ye Shucheng did was just his connections as the head of the civil officials.

He doesn't like Chunshui, but he can still promise the position of side concubine for his support, just like he doesn't like Fang Xiaoyu, but he insists on marrying Fang Xiaoyu for the 500,000 Zhenyuan army in Fang Jianzhang's hands.

It's just that he met a woman who didn't take the usual path, and he didn't care about his identity as the second princess at all, even Ye Shucheng, who was so good at disguise, was still dismissed by Fang Xiaoyu several times, and his good image of operating outside collapsed in an instant.

Now, he is just a prisoner, and he doesn't even know when he will be escorted to the execution ground, and his head will be cut off in front of the people of the capital, and he can't even leave a whole corpse. And Ye Shucheng came to see him on death row at this time, he didn't believe that the other party was just here to catch up.

"Isn't there no resentment in the prime minister? Wouldn't you feel unwilling? That party's laughter is just a female stream, how can she have the ability to bring down the prime minister? All of this was just Fang Jianzhang giving him advice behind him, in fact, he had already known what Cheng Cheng had done in his years, and he also knew that his tragic encounter back then was caused by the Prime Minister, so he borrowed Fang Xiaoyu's daughter's hand to put the Prime Minister to death. Ye Shucheng's tone had a strange rhythm, full of demagogy.

"What does the prince want to say, you might as well make it clear to the point. The old man is now only a prisoner under the stairs, and he can't understand the twists and turns of His Highness. "It's a pity that Mei Cangyun is an old fox and won't be easily fooled.

A chill flashed in Ye Shucheng's eyes, but he covered it up in an instant, and then said: "Since the Prime Minister likes to open the skylight and speak brightly, this king is not afraid to speak directly." The Prime Minister's Mansion is full of beheadings from his father's order, and even if the king wants to save the adults from this death row, he is powerless. However, Concubine Mei was not punished because she was pregnant with a dragon seed. The one she was carrying in her belly also had half of the prime minister's blood. This king can protect her for the prime minister's life, at least dare to ensure that she has no worries for a lifetime, and will not be involved in the battle between the prime minister's mansion and Fang Xiaoyu and her father, the prime minister thinks that this king's condition is enough? ”

Mei Cangyun's face appeared in front of her daughter, Mei Ketian. She entered the palace at a young age, climbed to the position of the concubine all the way through the wind and rain all the way, and was not less harmed, nor less killed, originally a simple little girl, struggling to survive in the big dye vat of the palace, and finally became a piece of the bricks and tiles of the imperial city.

She has been favored countless times, but her stomach is not angry, she has not given birth to a boy and a woman for many years, and she has to raise a son born to a woman who was killed by herself. As a father, he naturally knows how much his daughter wants to have a child of her own. In this way, she can survive in the harem, and she can be regarded as having a guarantee and dependence.

She finally got her wish, and after many years, she was pregnant with a small life that she regarded as a treasure. But she was unlucky, and she encountered such a thing as the Prime Minister's Mansion being beheaded by the whole house, even if the emperor temporarily did not move her because she was pregnant with a dragon seed, but it is conceivable that her future life in the palace must be full of ups and downs.

Therefore, Ye Shucheng's proposal moved him. He knew that he might die soon, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would be unlucky with him, and he could no longer provide any convenience for his daughter in the palace. And the father who has a criminal minister will inevitably be ridiculed and ridiculed before and after others.

I hope she can give birth to a prince, even if she is destined to have no possibility of competing for the throne again, but at least she can give her daughter a support, so that she can live her life smoothly.

"Now that I'm just a prisoner of the ranks, penniless and without any foreign things, what do the second prince want to get from the old man when he puts forward such a tempting condition?" Mei Cangyun asked in a deep voice.

"The prime minister is refreshing, and this king likes to cooperate with a cheerful person like the prime minister. In this case, this king is not hypocritical. This king knows that the eyes and ears of the Prime Minister in the Zhenyuan Army will never be only the few people found out by Fang Xiaoyu, those who are deeply hidden, I am afraid that even if Fang Xiaoyu is descended from the gods, he may not be able to find their traces. This king doesn't want anything else, as long as those people serve this king, this king will fulfill his promise, and Concubine Mei will have no worries about her life. Ye Shucheng smiled and put forward the direct conditions.

But after seeing Mei Cangyun's expression change several times, he slowly threw out another bombshell and said, "I forgot to tell the Prime Minister, Mei Ketian is no longer a concubine." Just after the prime minister was put on death row, Concubine Mei was demoted to a noble by her father. This is still for the sake of her father's sake, for the sake of her being pregnant with the dragon seed, otherwise she would not even be able to retain the identity of a nobleman. ”

Mei Cangyun gritted her teeth after hearing this, and the Yu family behind her was already crying in distress.

But Ye Shucheng didn't intend to give Mei Cangyun a chance to think, but continued: "What's more, that Fang Jianzhang hates the Prime Minister to the core. Fang Xiaoyu made it clear that he was avenging Fang Jianzhang's hatred for the persecution back then. It is just a matter of framing the prime minister for collaborating with the enemy and treason with the intention of rebelling, and he will cut down all the roots of the prime minister's mansion. The Prime Minister felt that with the ruthlessness of that smile, would she let Concubine Mei go? No, she should be called Mei Guiren now. ”

Ye Shucheng's words almost became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the first to collapse was Yu Meiyu, Mei Cangyun's wife, and she is also a woman with good means, but unfortunately she is already old, compared with Fang Xiaoyu, who is young and vigorous, there is no possibility of winning at all.

The old wife's collapse and crying seemed to cry in Mei Cangyun's heart, his expression changed, and finally he sighed slightly as if he was relieved, and then said: "All the connections I have in my hands can be given to you." Those who have been investigated and dealt with by the emperor are useless, but even the emperor cannot find out everyone clearly. Those who are still behind the scenes, I can make them all work for you. It's just that His Royal Highness King Gong had better speak and not forget your promise to me, and ensure that the mother and son will be happy for a lifetime, otherwise,; Even if the old man turns into a ghost, he will never let His Highness go! ”

Mei Cangyun knew her current situation, so she didn't dare to hold it up, and only called herself 'me'. It's just that when he said that Mei Ketian was tilted, his father's love overwhelmed everything and made him tough again.

"Mei Ke poured a woman, and if she wants to kill or save her, she can't save this king's thoughts. The Prime Minister's Mansion is already in such a situation, even if she is pregnant with a son, there is no possibility of competing with this king for the throne, and this king does not bother to embarrass an unborn child. Ye Shucheng looked up at Mei Cangyun with his height, and continued: "As long as the Prime Minister hands over the things that this king needs, it will only be a gesture for this king to save Mei Guiren." ”

"Okay, with the words of His Royal Highness King Gong, the old man can leave without worry. As for what His Highness wants, it is nothing more than a useless thing to the old man, even if it is given to His Highness. It's just that the old man has another request. Mei Cangyun's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and her whole person exuded a chilling dead air.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Ye Shucheng frowned at first, then immediately stretched out and said, "If this king can do it, I don't mind giving it a try." ”

"The old man's request is simple. If His Royal Highness can ascend the throne as the emperor one day, I hope that His Royal Highness will send the Zhenyuan General's Mansion and King An's Mansion to the underworld to be the companion of the old man! Mei Cangyun hated him.

"This king has answered." Ye Shucheng smiled. Mei Cangyun's request didn't hit his heart?

No one hates Fang Xiaoyu more than him. (To be continued.) )
