Chapter 191: Chess is one high
When Empress Xiao rushed back to the Chengtian Palace, she saw Emperor Shuntian sleeping on the dragon couch.
"Mingze, how long has the emperor been asleep, have you ever gone out?" At this time, he actually lay on the bed and slept soundly, which made her wonder.
"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor just took medicine and fell asleep, and he hasn't gone out!" Ming Ze bowed respectfully.
"And who did he see?"
"Uh......" he thought for a moment, "the emperor has summoned King Yi!" ”
Empress Xiao's eyes lit up: "Oh? What did they say? ”
"It's not for Princess Chen's business, the emperor reprimanded King Yi, but didn't say anything else."
"Is it really just a reproach?" Empress Xiao frowned slightly, not quite convinced.
Ming Ze knelt on his knees: "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the mother!" ”
"I don't dare!" Empress Xiao glanced at him coldly, "Get up!" If the emperor wakes up, he will report it immediately! ”
"Yes!" Ming Ze sent her out respectfully, seeing her figure disappear around the corner, he couldn't help but look back at the place where Emperor Shuntian was, his eyes were deep.
Situ Yun rushed to the Criminal Department to find Lu Xin, and after confirming his identity and intentions, he briefly informed him of the incident.
Lu Xin was originally Xi Boyan's old department, and had been Xi Boyan's staff, because of his talent, Xi Boyan recommended him to the emperor and made him a Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and later promoted to the Lang Lang of the Criminal Department.
Lu Xin was overjoyed to learn that General Xi's daughter was still alive, and immediately agreed with Situ Yun on a rescue plan. In order to prevent Xi Bochang from taking the lead, the two hurried to the prison of the Criminal Department.
The cell where the shepherds are kept, in the innermost part of the prison, is not as dark as the dungeon, and there is a palm-sized vent above the cell.
Mu Yu sat in the corner of the cell, staring blankly at the darkening sky outside.
When Situ Yun, disguised as a jailer, appeared in front of her, she was stunned, and then smiled: "I didn't expect the emperor to send you!" ”
Situ Yun couldn't laugh, he opened the cell and looked at her sadly: "Can you show me that jade pendant?" ”
Mu Yu knew what he was thinking, and reached out to take out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to him.
The white and clear jade pendant took the body temperature on her body and held it into Situ Yun's hand, he took off his own one, and combined them into one, Luan Feng and Ming, water and milk blended.
Situ Yun asked in a trembling voice, "In the Suxin Garden that day, why didn't you tell me that you had such a jade pendant?" ”
"Because you told me that there is only a luan bird pendant, not a phoenix bird pendant!" In fact, Mu Yu also wanted to know why he denied the existence of this phoenix bird in the first place.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all about being too cautious!" He was extremely annoyed and blamed himself, "When I was a child, I found this pendant in my mother's jewelry box, and I liked it at first sight. She told me that it was my engagement pendant, and that it was the daughter of General Xi's family, but unfortunately his daughter died after birth. Later, when my mother saw that I liked this jade pendant, she rewarded me with it, but told me that General Xi died a strange death, and he must not mention this matter again, so as not to cause trouble! But I don't want to let me miss you because of this advice! ”
"Your mother is also for your good! The past is gone, and it's useless to think about it! Now that this jade pendant has no meaning to me, I am thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to return it to you, and now it is just right, you can take it! Compared to his excitement, the pastoral song was extremely calm.
But her attitude stimulated Situ Yun even more, and he said with a sad face: "This is your thing, how can it be said that it is returned to me, is it really so eye-catching to you?" ”
"Don't think like that, I just think it's more suitable for Yuhe, after all, she's your wife!"
At the mention of Gong Yuhe, Situ Yun closed his eyes helplessly.
"Lord Wang, time is running out, let's hurry up and take the shepherd girl out!" Another jailer dressed as a jailer suddenly came up and urged.
Get out? How to get out? Mu Yu looked at them puzzled, "Did you sneak in?" No, I can't go, what are you going to do when I'm gone? ”
The man's words reminded Situ Yun, he quickly put away the melancholy in his heart, and said to the herdsman: "No, our father sent us, we disguised ourselves like this, just to hide people's eyes, you quickly change your clothes with him, and go out with me immediately, it's too late!" ”
"Your Majesty? Didn't the emperor want to kill me? How can you save me again? ”
"This, I don't know, here's a letter from him to you, but it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go out first!" Situ Yun urged again.
Xi Muyu was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, you talk about the emperor's arrangements first!" ”
Situ Yun had never seen someone so calm when he was dying, but he couldn't resist her, so he had to tell his father and his own meaning.
Who knew that he was immediately opposed by the pastoral rumors: "What you can think of, I'm afraid that Xi Bochang has already thought of it, if on the day of execution, what should they do if they ask for proof of identity?" I escaped, and the emperor and you don't have any responsibility, but the criminal department from the officials to the jailers are afraid that they will not be able to escape the blame, this method is not good, I can't kill others for my own life! ”
"When is it, you still pay attention to these, they can die for you, it is their blessing!" Situ Yun saw that she was unwilling to cooperate, and he was a little anxious.
"Although they have a low status, they also have families who love them, and no one will think that dying for me is a blessing, so don't say it anymore!"
"So what? I can't see you die! Situ Yun knew that she was flustered, but she didn't appreciate everything she had spent so much effort arranging, how could this be good?
"No, don't worry! I never intended to die like this, but my way of escaping was more reliable and I wouldn't be in trouble! ”
Situ Yun's eyes lit up, and he looked at her in disbelief: "What method?" You said! ”
"I have two pills here, called 'Life and Death Pill', I will take the 'Death' Pill first, and it will be like death in two days, but it is not really dead, you only need to let me take the 'Life' Pill within forty-eight hours, and I will come back to life. So, you only need to help me do two things now, one is to bring a message for me to the 'Ni Xiang' in Dongcheng, so that they can find a good place to hide temporarily, and all the silver taels of income will be kept for their living expenses. Second, after I 'die', you only need to give me a name to commit suicide in fear of sin, and this 'sheng' pill will be handed over to you, and my life and death will be handed over to you! ”
Before Situ Yun could stop it, she had already swallowed the pill, he took the 'raw' pill and looked at it again, and sighed: "There is such a miraculous medicine in the world!" Are you sure you didn't coax me? ”
"How could Mu Yu joke with his life, if I hadn't planned to do so early on, how could I dare to be so arrogant in the Chengtian Palace!"
"Good! If it works, it's a safer way to do it! Don't worry, I'd rather die myself than have you miss anything! Is there anything else you want me to do? He thought that she had lost the idea of living, but now he saw that she had already arranged everything for herself, and he was both admired and happy in his heart.
"Other than that, it's the matter of the jade spirit, and also, take care of the jade lotus......
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Jade Ling is really in the dungeon you said, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to rescue her!"
"Really? That's great! Mu Yu thought for a moment, "Just put it on the day I 'die', their attention is on me, and you just arranged for them to do it!" ”
"Good! Everything is as you say! Situ Yun looked at the sky outside and said reluctantly: "I have to rush back to report the situation to my father, so as not to worry him!" You have to take care of yourself, this cell is taken care of inside and out, and they won't treat you harshly! ”
Xi Muyu nodded, showed a charming smile, and said very sincerely: "Thank you!" ”
Situ Yun accepted her thanks and took the jailer out of the prison.
Thousands of miles away by the Chang River.
Situ Yu has been attacking Guyao City for two days, the city gate is towering, the city wall is extremely strong, and the other party's commander refuses to send troops to meet the battle, so he still can't find a way to break the city after two days.
Situ Yu was discussing military affairs with his generals in the military tent, and Situ Yu walked in with square steps.
All the soldiers hurriedly saluted him, but only Situ Yu glanced at him lightly and said with great displeasure: "Didn't the commander see that we were busy?" If you're okay, you can go somewhere else! ”
Since Situ Ji was captured by him last time, he was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to go against him again for a long time. Although he was the commander of the expedition this time, he knew in his heart that these soldiers admired Situ Yu's military exploits, and some of them were his old subordinates, so his prestige in the army was far better than his own, so he was also very interested in restraining his behavior and did not dare to play any tricks.
It's just that tonight is different, tonight he is here to do "good deeds"!
"This commander knows that you are discussing the war, but this commander has more important matters to discuss with the deputy commander, so you all go down first!"
Situ Yu saw that the expression of his speech tonight was different from the past, and he saw that he had something like a notice rolled up in his hand, so he suddenly had doubts in his heart, and waved his hand at them: "Since the commander has something important to discuss, you should go down first!" ”
The soldiers got Situ Yu's order and retreated.
"What's the matter?" Situ Yu asked in a cold voice.
It was rare to have such an opportunity, Situ Jian deliberately said unhurriedly: "Alas! Actually, I've been entangled in this matter for a long time, and I don't know whether I should let you know or not. Hide it from you, it seems a little unkind, but I can tell you, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept it, and I am afraid that it will affect the war, alas, it is really embarrassing! ”
Situ Yu frowned: "I don't have so much time to play with you!" If you want to say it, please go out if you don't say it, so we can continue the discussion! ”
Seeing that he was so faceless, Situ Ji's face sank, and he threw the notice on the table: "I don't know the hearts of good people!" See for yourself! ”
Situ Yu hesitantly picked up the notice and opened it, and the whole person was suddenly stunned!
