Chapter Twenty-Four: Imprisonment
"That's right! Where is she? I want to see her! ”
"She! Isn't that? Bai Qian pointed to a cage diagonally opposite her, and in the cage sat against the wall a woman in light blue clothes, with messy hair, obviously asleep, but she could still recognize the familiar face, even if she hadn't seen it for hundreds of days.
"Xiaoqing! Xiaoqing! Canglan wanted to wake her up, but Xiaoqing didn't seem to react, and she didn't move there.
"Don't scream, she's just in a temporary coma, she can't die!"
"Let her go!"
"Why?"
Why? Why......
She has nothing now......
"Please, please let her go...... Please don't hurt her! ”
"You kneel down and beg me, give me twenty kowtows, and I will spare her life" This is clearly to humiliate her.
Canglan's dry lips opened slightly, wanting to say something to Bai Qianqian, but after looking at Xiaoqing, who was covered with scars on the other side, her knees slowly fell to the ground, and her blood-red eyes seemed to have lost all their luster, with her dignity on one side and Xiaoqing's life on the other.
When worshipping the ground, she restrained the humiliation and pain in her heart, "Ask Concubine Xiao to spare her life!" begging Concubine Xiao to spare her life......" Every time she repeats a sentence, she kowtows once, and her forehead collides with the hard dungeon, even if her forehead is bloodstained, she thinks that Xiaoqing must not have an accident, she must survive well!
"Hmmm! I only said to spare her life, rob other people's finances in the capital, and offended the famous young man in the capital, hehehe, he kept having a bad arm! ”
"What?!" Broken arm? Grab something?
"Hehehe! I didn't expect it! I'll spare her head, and if you want to keep her limbs sound, I'm afraid you'll have to do something for me."
She took out a stack of papers from her arms, and Yue'er behind her was holding a box of cinnabar. Bai Qian Qian handed the folded paper to Canglan.
Canglan eagerly opened it and saw that this was a confession of adultery, nothing more than to let herself put her fingerprints on it, but what if she confessed to the Third Highness?
On one side is Xiaoqing and on the other side is Wei Xinghan, she is now completely messed up, and she doesn't even have time to think about her life and death, she panicked and fell into a dilemma, she repeated again and again in her heart, to be calm, to be calm.
"What, hesitating?"
Canglan was already tortured at the moment, she shook her head vigorously, no, the third prince must still have a way to get out of this predicament, after all, the power he has is on par with Wei Tianyue, press it! As long as it is better to save Xiaoqing's life than anything else, and then find a new way to escape.
"I hope Concubine Xiao will do what she says!" She raised her hand and gently pressed her thumb in the box of cinnabar that Yue'er was carrying, and then printed her fingerprints on the confession.
Yue'er took the confession, and their affairs were completed.
"Concubine Xiao, why are you here?" When Ling Xiao looked at Bai Qianqian, the complex and special vicissitudes in his eyes were clear.
"What? Can't I come and interrogate me? Bai Qianqian looked at the smug smile on Canglan's face and turned into a harmless smile and turned her head.
"Of course it doesn't matter, it's just that this obscure atmosphere is too heavy, I'm afraid it will be bad for my mother's body."
"This interrogation prisoner naturally has to go to prison, what is this grievance?"
"Mother, hard work!"
"Lord Xiao, I have something to ask for, I don't know if Lord Xiao can appreciate his face." Bai Qianqian put her hand on Ling Xiao's chest, and Ling Xiao took a step back because of Bai Qianqian's ambiguous pat, bowed her head respectfully and said, "If Niangniang has any requirements, just say it directly, you don't have to ...... it."
"What doesn't have to be?" Bai Qianqian interrupted Ling Xiaodian's words, and continued, "What are you afraid of, there is no one else here, haven't you always liked me?"
Bai Qian became more and more presumptuous, and instead took Ling Xiao's hand, "I want to bring Xiaoqing back to me!" ”
"The minister understands!" He turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, she had been missing for more than a year, but she didn't expect to be arrested in the prison of the capital for robbery, he also knew that Xiaoqing had been Bai Qianqian's personal maid, after the fire of the Bai family, she had been wandering outside, and met a good family on the way to help her, she stayed with the good Samaritan for a year and heard that the Bai Mansion was rebuilt, and the eldest lady of the Bai family also returned to the Bai Mansion, and heard that her miss was still alive, and decided to go into the capital to find Miss Bai, but on the way she met the domineering and bullying of the young man, This is the son of the number one trader who is well-known in the capital, the family is full of gold, although he is not an important minister of the court, but he has dealings with officials everywhere in private, the background is very big, and he often acts mischiefly with his money, and Xiaoqing was unlucky to meet this person, this young man fell in love with Xiaoqing's appearance and first dragged Xiaoqing back to his house on the street, and Xiaoqing Ken shouted for help on the street, and this young man thief shouted to catch the thief, saying that the extremely poor woman stole her own money, and wanted to bring her back to teach her a lesson, At that time, the people on the street saw that the woman was wearing sewn and mended clothes, like a little beggar who was cleaned up, and saw that the young man was a rich figure, and they all thought that the girl wanted to pay attention to the money of the young man. And Yu Gongzi insisted that Xiao Qing stole his money, whether there was enough evidence in this matter, in order to give Yu Gongzi an explanation, he had to arrest Xiao Qing in prison, compared to catching Yu Gongzi's home, taking him to prison This is also the best protection for Xiao Qing.
These are Xiaoqing's words, Ling Xiao believes in Xiaoqing, in fact, there is no need for Bai Qian to speak, Ling Xiao will also rescue Xiaoqing.
"My brother Ling Xiao is the best!" Bai Qianqian leaned her head on Ling Xiaodian's shoulder, Ling Xiao was at a loss for a while, and wanted to raise her hand to touch Qianqian's head, but she was afraid of it, and her hand paused in mid-air.
Canglan was a little surprised, how could she know the title of "Brother Ling Xiao"? No matter what, Xiaoqing can be saved, Canglan is still kneeling on the ground, she was caught by Ling Xiao, at this moment she was extremely embarrassed, and the corners of her mouth flashed a sour smile.
On the other hand, the third prince was escorted to his palace and was imprisoned and not allowed to interact with anyone in the outside world, which was also an order of the emperor.
Now the people of the entire Wei Kingdom know that Xiaoqing, a domestic servant who disappeared in the Bai family fire case, was found by Bai Qianqian, and I don't know why a year has passed since the fire in Baifu, and I haven't seen Concubine Xiao to investigate the case, and now Concubine Xiao suddenly asked the emperor and the eldest prince to prepare to reopen the case, and it seems that she has found some major clues. Now it is known all over the city, this common people are born in Canglan, as a Ximei who has just been favored, as soon as the confession comes out, people in the world did not expect that this Ximei is not only a spy sent by the three princes in the past, but also the lover of the three princes, and will be punished soon, even if it is not punished, it is a street rat that everyone shouts and beats on the street, and at the same time, the emperor is angry and puts the three princes under house arrest.
"Your Highness, you see that Canglan has also confessed, so I said it, you don't believe it." Bai Qianqian smiled faintly and handed the confession to Wei Tianyue, Wei Tianyue's face was pale, he took the confession and the bone line on the back of his hand was protruding, this was the woman he fell in love with at first sight, he didn't doubt Canglan's identity, he even thought that if Canglan was a spy, he might kill her personally, but he didn't want this day to come so early.
"Go away!" At this moment, Wei Tianyue's mind was messy, suppressed his voice, and slapped a confession on the case.
"Your Highness! Have you seen me from the time you married me? Have we had a round room? Are you angry? Could it be that you are really emotionally attached to that fine work? Now I just want to remind you that the relationship between Canglan and the third prince is extraordinary, I just want the eldest prince to see the truth clearly, are you so angry? ”
Bai Qian spit out the dissatisfaction in her heart and left, she had already remembered how she got to the Three Princes' Mansion, how she was arranged to the White Mansion, and how she proved the innocence of the Three Princes in front of the emperor, why did other people's innocence ask her to prove it because of an irrelevant person with the same appearance? You are not a fool at the mercy of others, Wei Xinghan, you will pay a price for doing all this! and his own father and mother who see wealth and open their eyes for profit, gambling all the year round regardless of the life or death of the children in the family, if it weren't for the three princes to buy her to the palace, I'm afraid they all want to sell themselves at a high price to those stinky men spend all day and wine in the green building, her sister was sold to torture to death, as a father and mother, what kind of father and mother have you done for so many years? It's not a pity to die! There is also that Canglan, it must be the person sent by Bai Qianqian, she has finally sat in the position of the eldest lady of the Bai family now, and has ascended to the high position of Xiao Guifei step by step, how can she be ruined by this Canglan The overall situation? ! The vicissitudes must die! Disfigure her before she dies! In addition, his father and mother must also die! Can't leave any traces for the Bai family's white coriander! Thinking of this, Bai Qianqian clenched her fists fiercely.
After the three princes were grounded by the emperor's order, the emperor's illness became more and more serious, and he handed over the affairs of the three princes to Wei Xinghan to deal with.
"Third brother, why do you want to do this?"
Wei Xinghan was dancing his sword in the courtyard, ignoring Wei Tianyue, and the sword blade slashed across the ground and the snow flew.
"Your Highness, please be careful!" The guards beside Wei Tianyue kindly reminded that Wei Xinghan was very dangerous at the moment with the sword in his hand, but Wei Tianyue did not stop stepping forward, but instead pulled out the sword that the guard next to him had on his waist and fought with Wei Xinghan.
Halfway through, Wei Xinghan replied, "Shouldn't you ask yourself this?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Tianyue and Wei Xinghan have been practicing swords together since childhood, but later they haven't spoken for many years because of their different political positions.
"I'm just telling you, you'll regret killing Canglan." Could it be that he told him that Canglan's identity was the real Bai family's eldest lady Bai Qianqian? I don't believe ghosts when I say it.
