Suo Hua's analysis was reasonable, but Chu Ruo said leisurely: "There seem to be many people in the palace who don't like Mrs. Emei!" ”

What she said is indeed good, Mrs. Emei has been rampant and domineering in the palace for many years, and there are not a few people who are dissatisfied with her, whether it is a master or a slave, there are many who hold a grudge against her. But if you can have this ability to layout, you must not be a small minion, you should be a master to do it.

An Su thought for a moment, and a few people vaguely appeared in his heart.

"Think about it, if you were to force a man to tell a lie for himself, and it would cost him his life, what would he do to do so?"

Chu Ruo replied first: "Give him a lot of money? ”

An Su shook his head: "If you just give him money, your life is gone, how can you have a chance to spend it?" ”

"Threaten his life?" Suo Hua guessed again.

An Su still shook his head: "He was going to lose his life, if he just threatened his life, what did it matter?" ”

"And what if he threatens the lives of the people he cares about?"

Suo Hua's words woke up the dreamer, and An Su suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment: "Do you remember that the guard said just now that he was favored by Mrs. Emei so that the father and mother in the family could cure the disease?" ”

"Yes, he said that, do you guess that someone took his father?" Suo Hua wondered.

"Could it be Mrs. Emei?" Chu Ruo interjected and asked.

"Of course not, if it is Mrs. Emei, it should be for him to grit his teeth and not tell the truth when he dies." An Su pursed her lips in contemplation, and then raised her head for a while and said, "I need to find a chance to meet the guard." ”

"Sister Shangguan, the emperor has already ordered that guard to be assigned to the frontier, how can I see it?"

"I have my own way."

An Su's method was actually not a good way, she went to the Changting Hall to find Gu Wenzhou before the guard was exiled to the frontier, and asked him to propose to the emperor to give the guard a hexagram. After all, this matter is related to national affairs, and Liu Ying is more cautious than usual, so she responded to his request. An Su should be able to pretend to be a servant girl beside him, and follow him all the way to the prison.

When they entered the prison, the guards inside also saw what was going on, stuffed some money for them, and then they all went out, leaving room for them to speak. Gu Wenzhou motioned for An Su to go in, while he himself stayed outside to guard.

"Let's go inside, the guards are outside, and if anyone comes, they'll be loud reminders." Ansu didn't treat him as an outsider at all.

"You deliberately ventured to meet this person, there must be something important, if I also go in, I'm afraid it will affect you." Gu Wenzhou leaned against the wall next to the cell and smiled softly at An Su.

This cell is full of people who have committed serious crimes, and they are naturally not treated very well on weekdays, and the cell is dark and damp, and there is a foul smell for a while. But An Su can still distinguish the fragrance from all the smells, which is the fragrance that belongs to Gu Wenzhou. Ansu wanted to ask the origin of the fragrance several times, but he was immersed in the sense of mystery that fluttered there, and then he stopped asking, as long as he could smell it all the time, what did it matter what it came from.

"Wen Zhou, in fact, you don't have to worry, I believe it."

"I know." Gu Wenzhou urged, "You go in quickly, don't delay any longer." ”

Ansu couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose as she stepped into the cell where the guard was, the smell here was even worse than the outside. She looked down and saw that there were a few puddles of water under the ground, and the thatch, which had barely collapsed, was also wet and disgusting.

The guard lay on the drier thatch with his back to the door, and Ansu carefully avoided the water stains and walked a little closer to him.

"Get up and speak, I know you're awake."

"I didn't expect that someone would come to see me when I landed here." The guard smiled and turned to sit up, not in the slightest fear of being exiled to the frontier.

"Can you tell me your last name?"

I didn't take a closer look in the alley that day, and now it seems that this person is still young, but he is not afraid of danger, and he has some courage. An Su originally had no feelings for this person, and just wanted to get words out of his mouth, but at this time, he recognized a little more.

The guard was also free and easy, and blurted out: "Li Guang." ”

"Guard Li is a dutiful son." Ansu first made such a judgment.

Li Guang laughed self-deprecatingly: "How can you afford these two words." It's just that he tried his best to cure his father's illness, and before he has fulfilled his filial piety, he will be exiled to the frontier again. ”

Seeing that he was sad, An Su hurriedly said: "That's not true, it's good that you saved your father's life with your own strength!" ”

Li Guang shook his head with a smile, then raised his head again, as if he remembered something, his eyes were full of vigilance: "This girl, we have never known each other, you can go to such a place to meet me so hard, it must be assigned by some master, right?" ”

"It took a lot of effort to come here to see you, and if I had been assigned by a master, I wouldn't have had to go through a lot of trouble to get here." Ansu found a clean place to sit down.

Li Guang took a closer look at An Su's face, and suddenly his brows trembled: "I remembered, you were there that night, you were ...... Xu Ji Niangniang's personal maidservant? Did Xu Ji Niangniang send you? ”

"That's right, I am indeed Xu Ji Niangniang's personal maidservant, but I was not sent by Xu Ji Niangniang."

"Are you still doing things for someone else? Is it Wen Ji Niangniang, or Liu Ji Niangniang? ”

Li Guang has been a guard in the palace for a while, and the minions he has seen are all doing whatever the master says, but he has never seen someone like An Su who does his own thing, so he only guesses which master she was sent by.

"I didn't do anything for anyone, I just thought you were acting a little strange that day, and I was really curious, so I thought of coming in and asking you."

"Strange? Where is it strange? Li Guang panicked for a moment, he was originally suspicious of Ansu's statement that he was not assigned by anyone, but at this time, he couldn't care so much. If his behavior is found to be inappropriate, I am afraid that it will not only be as simple as being exiled to the frontier, but also the father and mother of the family will be implicated.

"You confessed it too quickly that day." Ansu told her opinion truthfully, "Under normal circumstances, even if you look at death as home, you will argue a little or beg for mercy, but you seem to be in a hurry to take things on yourself." While your reasons are good, I still sense that something is slightly amiss. ”

"Since you came here to see me, you must not have informed the emperor of your discovery, right?" When Li Guang said this, a fierce light gradually appeared in his eyes.

An Su caught this detail and hurriedly spoke: "I will never tell the emperor about this, you can rest assured." If I wanted to take advantage of this, I wouldn't have bothered to come here to see you. ”

"And what exactly is your purpose?" The expression on Li Guang's face softened.

"I want to know the truth." An Su said seriously, "What you said about uneasy conscience is to reveal the facts and discusses, but in fact, it is to cover up the people behind you. I wonder, who is trying to use you to bring down Madame Emei? ”

Li Guang's brows trembled unconsciously, and he licked his lips: "Since you know that there is someone behind me, you must also understand that I have put life and death out of the way, and I will definitely not tell you." ”

"What if I could get you out?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Guang's eyes lit up suddenly, but they soon dimmed again, Xu felt that An Su, as a small palace maid, must not have such great ability. He shook his head, his eyes down, noncommittal.

"If you don't trust me, how about telling me about the people behind you after I get you out?"

But Li Guang still shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust the girl, it's just that if I escape, it will be a big crime, and it will definitely affect the father and mother in the family." ”

"Then you are exiled to the frontier, who will take care of your father? The person behind you must have promised that you would take care of your father and mother, but could there be anything else for them besides money? When they lost their son, they got some cold coins, which is what you call filial piety? ”

"I'm ......" Li Guang frowned, and involuntarily clenched his fists. He hadn't thought of this, but he could save his father's life right now, and there was no way to leave if he didn't want to leave.

"If you are willing to exile you to the frontier, I will not stop you, but if you can tell me about that person, I promise that I will entrust someone to take good care of your father and mother, so that they can truly enjoy their old age in peace." Seeing that he seemed to hesitate, An Su said, "I know that the person behind you is in a high position, and I don't plan to complain to the emperor after learning the identity of this person." I am Xu Ji Niangniang's maidservant, Xu Ji Niangniang treats me like a mountain, I just want to know who the potential enemy in the palace is, so that I can keep an eye on Xu Ji Niangniang in the future, so as not to be assassinated one day. That's all I want to do, and you can rest assured that my little handmaid won't be able to figure it out after all. ”

Li Guang thought for a long time, and suddenly heard Gu Wenzhou's voice outside: "Ansu, hurry up, the guards outside are urging." ”

"You also heard, my time is running out, if you are really a filial son, this is your last chance." An Su paused after speaking, pretending to go out.

"Wait." Li Guang really stopped her, "Can you really find someone to take good care of my father?" ”

"If you don't believe it, find someone to inquire casually in the palace, I have done errands in Princess Lu Yuan's mansion, and I have naturally made many friends outside the palace, so it is naturally no problem to take care of your father and mother."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Li Guang seemed to have made up his mind, he squinted, and looked around vigilantly before approaching An Su's side, "You know, but you must be careful, this master secretly sent someone to take care of many people's relatives, including some officials in the court, who are using it for her." ”

An Su nodded, and then listened to him quietly spit out a few words: "Mrs. Luoyan Wen Ji Niangniang." ”
