Chapter 26: The Thought of Life and Death
Fu Yao was silent for a long time, and finally called Zhou Wenqi: "Let Lao Mei go." β
Zhou Wenqi was stunned for a moment: "Will he rebel next time and let Mei Huan take the blame?" β
Fu Yao said: "He can't do anything anymore, just let someone take strict care of him." β
Zhou Wenqi said: "He is the queen's father, how to take care of it?" β
Fu Yao was silent for a while: "Don't tell the queen yet." β
Zhou Wenqi said: "This matter can't be hidden, notify everyone as soon as possible, others will not suspect you, and at the latest tomorrow morning, everyone will know the truth." β
Fu Yao nodded: "Then hide it until tomorrow morning." β
Zhou Wenqi said: "Your Highness, such a big matter has to be discussed with the same chapter." Zhou Wenqi really wanted to give Fu Yao two slaps to wake her up, hey, wake up, when did you not have Lao Mei's hand behind the incident that was in danger? It's just that Zhou Wenqi was afraid that Fu Yao would remember the last unjust prison and even remember his hand, so he silently pushed the great task of stabilizing the country to Zhang Zezhou.
As soon as Zhou Wenqi's words fell, Zhang Zezhou had already arrived, saying that the reason for Cao Cao's arrival was probably not a coincidence. Fu Yao glared at Zhou Wenqi, do you need to be so clever?
However, Fu Yao also knows that her political career does not allow for impulse, and since she is quite emotional now, it is appropriate for everyone to discuss it together.
At that moment, he calmly met Zhang Zezhou, and watched the scene again with Lao Zhang, and introduced the incident, Lao Zhang saw that the princess did not have Xizi to hold his heart and vomit blood, so he relieved himself and asked in a low voice: "Mei Zhaochen is still alive?" β
Fu Yao said: "I promised him to say goodbye to his relatives. β
Zhang Zezhou thought for a while: "Xiao Zhou wants to think of a way to let him commit suicide quickly." β
Fu Yao's expression darkened.
Zhou Wenqi gave Zhang Zezhou a look, you see, the princess is soft-hearted, and she has the intention of letting Lao Mei go.
Zhang Zezhou whispered: "Does the princess think that Xiaomei is dead, and Lao Mei can't toss any tricks?" β
Fu Yao nodded: "House arrest, so as not to make the courtiers feel cold, after all, Xiaomei is a national hero." β
Zhang Zezhou said: "This is a bad statement! It is Xiaomei who is meritorious, and it is Lao Mei who is guilty, how can you kill the hero and let the sinners go! Could it be that we killed Lao Mei to get rid of future troubles? It was because he had committed the unpardonable capital sin! It can't be because he rebelled with Li Huan back then, and his intention to set up a prince to expel your father and emperor was unsuccessful, he is not guilty, and because he supported Concubine Xiao back then and didn't kill you in the edict, he is not guilty, and he can't be innocent because he rebelled this time and didn't kill the emperor back then! Do you remember those handmaidens who died tragically in prison? I remember the princess said that they are the ones who grew up with you, and they are human beings. That time, Lao Mei did take refuge in us after the most reluctance, but you won't forget, princess, he showed favor to Concubine Xiao early in the morning, if Concubine Xiao didn't get his promise back then, would she dare to order you to be arrested? β
Fu Yao was furious in an instant, and glanced at Zhou Wenqi, Xiao Zhou only felt that the blood in his whole body was ten degrees lower with a "swish", why is it so cold!
Zhang Zezhou said angrily: "What do you think he is doing? If he doesn't kill your maid, can you stand here in its entirety today? You can't be lame and blind regent, can you? β
Fu Yao glanced at him, held back his anger, and no longer looked at Zhou Wenqi, but the evil fire turned to Mei Zhaochen, pushing her to the danger again and again, repeatedly showing good advice, and sparing many times in front of his children, and now his son is dead......
But Xiaomei died, and he was in the spirit of heaven......
Zhang Zezhou saw Fu Yao's movement of looking at the sky, but his eyes seemed to be really looking for something in the air, and immediately reminded: "What are you looking at?" Ceiling? β
Fu Yao smiled bitterly, yes, I can't find anything in the spirit of the sky, I can only see the ceiling.
I'm a little ......
Zhang Zezhou said: "Actually, you're for Xiaomei, right?" Enough, Lao Mei has raised a pair of good children in his life, and he has gained enough from his two children. If he lives again, he will not only take Xiaomei's life, but also the queen's life. β
Fu Yao was taken aback: "Mei Huan can't have another accident." β
Look left and right: "Sang Cheng, lock Mei Huan up, point her acupoints, and take away everything that may hurt her." β
Sang Cheng was stunned for a moment: "This is, jβ‘j?" She didn't sin! β
Fu Yao circled on the ground: "I don't know what to do with her!" She must not have another accident, at least when Wei Shuai comes, she must be alive. Also, write a letter to Xiao Wei immediately and ask him to come back. β
Sang Cheng was dumbfounded, hey, what's wrong with you? I've only seen Wei Shuai look around, but I've never seen you turn around the princess.
Fu Yao said angrily: "Go! β
Sang Cheng was startled: "Ah, yes! Then he reacted, "I can't leave you here alone." I mean, there are no guards. β
Fu Yao was silent for a while: "Let's go back." "Xiaomei may not be willing to see me again.
Zhou Wenqi whispered: "Lao Mei......?" β
Fu Yao thought for a while: "Tell him that Mei Zicheng committed suicide." Let him decide for himself anything else. Whether to let him go or not, depending on the situation, if the ministers are sympathetic to the Mei family, we will let him go, if everyone still thinks that the double crime of treason and treason is unforgivable, conform to the will of the people. β
Zhang Zezhou thought about it, this compromise proposal was passable, and the prince might sometimes need support, so he immediately nodded in agreement: "The prince is right, since there is nothing in front of him that must be insisted on, it is better to conform to the will of the people." If you want to dispose of Mei Zhaochen, there is always a chance. β
Give Zhou Wenqi a look and kill Lao Mei!
Zhou Wenqi silently replied with a received look, since the princess was relieved, as long as he didn't personally pinch it to death, the princess couldn't blame him, so it would be easy to do.
The Bird Emperor listened quietly to the conversation inside, and with her kung fu, it was okay to listen to the conversation in the next room. Oh, since the princess really didn't mean to kill Mei Zicheng, and it sounds like they have a good relationship, then the possibility of this general committing suicide is greater.
The Bird Emperor looked at Mei Zicheng, who was lying quietly on the bed, and looked away. It's a little sad that Xiaomei is the first person to praise her without hesitation. Yes, for the first time, she learned from others that she was a capable person. However, for the Bird Emperor, there are too many deaths happening around her, and she has basically formed a conditioned reflex, someone dies, and she closes the emotional system. Think about it silently, the cause of this person's death, well, too weak, too stubborn, too stupid, in short, when others are struggling to live, some people choose to die for the sake of a big fart, why complain about being benevolent. It's a cold-blooded idea, but such a thought can make her more comfortable. Otherwise, she would have been soaked in tears.
Oh, General May, do you know the truth? Some people make a living by torturing others, intimidating others, and deceiving others, in order to achieve the goal of making others succumb and collapse, because she owes a lot of money to the Demon Sect, because her friend was injured by the Demon Sect, but she can't get free medical treatment, so she has become the one who owes money. There's only one way she can borrow money, so she's going to have to live like this.
You're such a bad example. Hey, how many people will be embarrassed to continue to live like this?
Since it's a suicide, if you don't have a letter at hand, you don't need to look for it too seriously. No one is going to hide a will.
But......
The Bird Emperor instructed: "Check the garbage or waste paper basket to see if there is any paper on which words have been written." β
When Fu Yao left, the Bird Emperor presented: "Your Highness, find these in the paper basket." β
Fu Yao took it slowly, the paper was crumpled, and it was still full of wrinkles after it was flattened, looking like a face of vicissitudes.
It reads: "I wish to exchange my life for a life......"
Zhou Wenqi immediately asked: "Was it found in the garbage can?" That's it when you find it? Looks like he's changed his mind. β
Fu Yao glared at him coldly, and Zhou Wenqi immediately shut up.
picked up another one, still pleading, but a few more polite clichΓ©s.
Fu Yao whispered: "Put it away and let Dali Temple remain." β
Glancing at the Bird Emperor: "Very capable." β
The Bird Emperor bowed: "Your Highness has won the award." β
Zhou Wenqi went to prison and looked sideways at Mei Zhaochen.
Mei Zhaochen stood up: "What's the matter?" β
Zhou Wenqi said: "Let me take a look, what is a good person who does not live long and lives for a thousand years." β
Mei Zhaochen was stunned for a moment: "You mean, I'm going to die, and you're still alive?" β
Zhou Wenqi couldn't help laughing: "You still think you're a good person." Yes, I am alive and I have perfectly proved that this statement is true. Seeing that you are also alive, in fact, I have more confidence in this theorem. β
Mei Zhaochen was for a long time: "Is the princess impatient?" β
Zhou Wenqi shook his head: "The princess seems to be planning to let you go again." Beckoned: "In the evening, add two dishes to Lord Mei, and then go out, it will still be the national abbot." β
Mei Zhaochen was stunned: "You want to let me go?" β
Zhou Wenqi said: "Your son wrote a letter and was willing to exchange his life for your life." β
Mei Zhaochen was shocked: "What? No, no! It can't be like this! β
Zhou Wenqi said: "If he comes up with a fold, of course the emperor's answer can't be like this." Unfortunately, he just threw the letter in the wastebasket and then, suicide. β
Mei Zhaochen froze: "What? β
Zhou Wenqi sighed lightly: "Although, your son didn't really intercede for you, the princess seems to have the intention of letting you go." β
Mei Zhaochen looked at Zhou Wenqi blankly: "My son ......"
Zhou Wenqi said: "Dead, the short knife pierced into the heart, half a foot long, the rhino horn handle ivory sheath, there are two words on it, there is no fight in the room, and there are no footprints of outsiders, the long sword is in the sheath, and the message of the word basket is found to be willing to exchange life for life, confirming suicide." β
Mei Zhaochen took a step back and sat down on the bed.
The rhino handle tooth sheath is one of the accessories on the royal belt, the short knife, a table knife for cutting meat in the wild. The horns of the teeth are fierce, and the general is worthy of the identity.
Zhou Wenqi said: "Live well, early tomorrow morning, your life and death will be discussed in the court, as long as the ministers do not object, you can probably live." β
In the evening, the food was brought in, but it was not moved, and it was taken out again.
Zhou Wenqi looked down at the tableware: "Nothing?" "Your mother, I specially prepared a small copper spoon of ivory chopsticks for you, why don't you use it, sharpen the chopsticks, sharpen the edge of the spoon, whether it is to poke the heart or wipe the neck, this is not a difficult thing! Why don't you want to die yet? If I were you, I'd want to die. Why is this man so strong?
Zhou Wenqi turned around and scratched his head and patted his head, hoping that he could come up with a few words to squeeze Lao Mei to death. But if Lao Mei Waiyi really comes out alive, his daughter is the queen! It's not easy to say that this is too much, if it's easy to be handled, Lao Mei told his daughter, then the queen insisted on killing him, who would call the shots for him!
The last sighed, this is just a job, it was assigned to him by Zhang Xiang, not by the princess, it is enough to do your best, you can't risk your life to move forward.
Zhou Wenqi waved his hand: "Make another one for him, send it in, eat it when you want, take it out when you don't eat it, just put it away." β
That's it, I've tried.
Mei Zhaochen sat motionless on the bed, his eyes looking at the ground.
There was only a buzzing in the brain.
It's hard to describe what it was like.
There is a very real pain that I can't point to anywhere.
It's as if it's not blood that flows through the veins, but sulfuric acid.
Every time Xiaomei's face flashed in her mind, she felt like she had been stabbed unguarded.
Suicide is like the enemy's will.
But he couldn't bear the pain. Zhou Wenqi tossed and turned all night, waiting for his subordinates to come with good news, inspected, and his subordinates reported: safe and sound. made Zhou Wenqi so angry that until it was almost dawn, he couldn't help but run to the old immortal in prison!
