Chapter 051: Don't Extinguish the Light of Your Heart (Coming to the shelves tomorrow)
85_85256 The inside of the prison is very dark, and you can't see the light even during the day.
Xi Zhen sat on the old wooden bench and closed his eyes in meditation.
Even in this oppressive and helpless place, her face remained calm, her clothes remained neat, and her posture was as calm and detached as a Buddha, which was in strong contrast with the violent aura that permeated her surroundings.
Such a person is not fit to be in such a place.
She condensed her luck, adjusted her mind, and in less than an hour, she opened the vein, and her face gradually became ruddy.
For now, she knows that in order to prove her innocence, she must do the following:
First, the emperor must be sobered up.
2. Calculate the current whereabouts of the Traveling Spell and seize it.
3. Shake out the palace maid who was assigned to listen to the emperor's side.
For the first point, she would perform spells from a distance, the second point, she would have to do it secretly and with the help of someone, and the third point, she would have to involve several people, and she would have to find the right time.
So she took out the spirit turtle shell and the three copper coins she had with her, recited the trick with devotion and concentrated on the exercises, and soon she counted the whereabouts of the spell practitioner. It's just that if she wants to catch that person, she needs someone to help, and she has to be a reliable person, and for her in prison, it is undoubtedly a luxury to find such a person.
However, she did not despair, she believed that she would have a way.
People who have light in their hearts will not be buried by the darkness even in the darkest places, so she calmed herself down and slowly thought about the way out.
Several large rats scurried past her, and then quickly crawled out of the wall on the left.
Xi Zhen looked at them, and suddenly came to his heart.
By the way, if she wanted to escape, she could use her focused telepathy to make a hole in the wall to escape, and if the work was done at night, no one else would notice it.
It's just that she escaped like this to make her personal freedom, but the safety of the emperor, the future of the Xi Kingdom, the problem of the dispute over the throne, and the task she crossed over have all been pushed to a bad situation, so she can't do that.
She immediately dismissed the idea.
She returned herself to complete calm again, and soon she came up with a new answer—she needed to wait quietly, waiting for an opportunity to come.
At the same time, she continued to work towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, where Emperor Guangzhao was currently located, in the hope that she could dissolve the curse on Emperor Guangzhao little by little through the Guò Evil Technique.
This kind of spiritual power spell can transcend time, space and distance, so even if the position she is in now is far away from the Heart Cultivation Palace, it will not affect its effect in the slightest.
So, she has faith.
In the afternoon of the next day, the judge ascended to the court to interrogate Shen Xizhen.
"I'm just going to make three points: First, I don't know how to curse. Second, if I want to harm the emperor, how can I be stupid enough to choose myself to be present? 3. As for asking others to leave Sanzhangyuan during a meeting with the emperor, it was only for the sake of secrecy of the content of the conversation, and there was no other purpose. Shen Xizhen said in a calm tone.
The Inquisitor listened to her quietly.
"What's going on with the smoke in the Zichen Palace?" The inquisitor asked again.
"Before I entered the Zichen Hall that day, I found that there was a black air flow surging inside, I knew that it was some kind of witchcraft phenomenon, and I tried to cast a spell to destroy it out of the original intention of protecting the emperor, so under the competition between the two mana, thick smoke was produced."
"Show me." The inquisitor said with an iron face.
Shen Xizhen cast his mana on the stool in the center of the room, and after a while, the inquisitor saw a faint puff of white smoke.
The judge asked someone to record this phenomenon, looked at Shen Xizhen and said, "But this does not mean that you are innocent, because there are no witnesses. ”
Shen Xizhen did not respond.
The judge continued to throw out all the questions to be asked, and the only response was Xizhen: "Inquisitor, I can't talk nonsense about things I haven't done." ”
The inquisitor tried for several hours without coming up with any new clues, but was surrounded by Xi Zhen's answers again and again, so that in the end his spirit almost collapsed.
Due to the lack of evidence, the inquisitor could not convict her, so he had to order that she should continue to be detained for the first time, and wait for Emperor Guangzhao to come to his senses before making a decision.
"Inquisitor, it's not feasible for you to try like this, you have to torture her, and she will only recruit if you use torture." Liu Shiji secretly met with the inquisitor and went straight to the point.
For Liu Shipai, the iron should be struck while it is hot, and when will it be better not to convict her now?
The judge still has a sense of justice in his heart, and he doesn't want anyone to die unjustly in his hands, so he said with a smile: "Protector of the country, it is indeed easy for people to torture to extract confessions, but don't forget that she is a celebrity in front of the emperor, in case she is wronged, the villain can not afford it, or wait for the emperor to wake up before making a decision." ”
Liu Shijian wanted to say, "What if the emperor is unconscious?" But of course he didn't dare to say such a thing, but suddenly a new thought popped into his mind.
He was suddenly shaken and hurriedly left.
…………………………
"We're going to take advantage of this time to call the prince back." Liu Shijian said to Empress Wenci.
"I don't want him to have anything to do with it." Empress Wenci said with a worried expression that since Emperor Guangzhao fell unconscious, she had lived in deep fear every day.
"Queen, why are you so stupid." Liu Shijian complained, and then whispered in her ear.
Empress Wenci looked at him with extremely shocked eyes, and was speechless for a long time.
"I hope the queen thinks about it carefully, don't forget that Miss Shen knows how to do mystics, what if she really has a way to prove her innocence? So we have to strike first, and there's no other choice. Liu Shigui said earnestly.
After some thought, Empress Wenci nodded. Now that the situation is urgent, there is no room for delay.
…………………………………
However, it was said that Chu Zihou immediately rushed back to the capital without stopping after learning about the Zichen Hall incident.
Along the way, he was anxious, worried about his father's health and Xizhen's safety.
They were the most important people in his life, and he couldn't let any of them happen, so on the way back, he seemed to grow up in an instant, and clearly realized the responsibility he carried.
He is no longer the second prince who blindly hides in the shadows.
How could Shen Xizhen curse the emperor? It's strange when you think about it.
Therefore, he must go back to find out and administer justice for her.
Now that she is in prison, she must be very helpless, right? When he thought about it, he was anxious.
Entering the palace, he went straight to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
Emperor Guangzhao was still in a coma, and he was in shock several times, and it seemed that his life was in danger.
Chu Zihou's eyes were hot, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand tightly.
…………………….
"Most people believe that Miss Shen did it, and even if the evidence is insufficient, there is no evidence to prove her innocence." The judge said to Chu Zihou.
"It's just nonsense, with her occult skills, if she wants to harm the emperor, why should she be there in person? And she had no motivation to do so. Chu Zihou said angrily
"I think so too, but until other evidence is found, she will have to be locked up." The inquisitor replied that he did not dare to tell Chu Zihou the inferences that Empress Wenci had told him.
"I want to meet her, she's my fiancée, maybe I can understand what happened."
"I'm very sorry, King Qingping, no one is allowed to go in to see her without the approval of the emperor and the prison chief."
"It's ......" Chu Zihou glared at him and walked out.
Returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chu Zihou thought of a way to contact Xizhen while taking care of Emperor Guangzhao.
Finally, he thought of a way and immediately picked up a pen and paper.
Chu Zihou secretly handed a letter to the prisoner and asked him to pass it on to Xi Zhen.
Xi Zhen immediately opened the letter and said: Don't mourn the temporary hardship, don't give up the brightness of your body, please wait with confidence, I will try my best to save you.
Xi Zhen's eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly said to the prisoner: "Please wait for me, I'll reply to him." ”
"Okay." Since Shen Xizhen was imprisoned here, the prisoner wanted to help her from the bottom of his heart, and he could take advantage of this opportunity
I'm more than happy to help her.
Shen Xizhen tore off the corner of the letter, drew a picture on it, and circled the location of the person he was looking for, and asked Chu Zihou to immediately arrest Yun's. and postscript on the side asked him to come back and immediately arrest the palace maid who the queen had placed beside the emperor for interrogation, because he didn't know the name of the palace maid, Xizhen had to draw her physical features
