An Su has been busy with trivial matters these days, and there are always a lot of things to deal with because of the practical matters, and it is even more difficult to inquire about the current situation of Chu Ruo. She only knows that Chu Ruo was imprisoned in Yongxiang at the moment, and the specific situation is still unknown.

"Suo Hua, do you know anything about the prison cells in Yongxiang?" Ansu finished her day's chores and finally found an opportunity to ask Suo Hua.

"Yongxiang cell? Ansu, what are you asking about this? It's not a good place. Suo Huahu was suspicious. She has had a smooth life in Huanning Hall these days, and she has almost forgotten all about her life in Yongxiang, and now An Suhu mentioned it, which still surprised her.

"I've got a friend who's locked up and wants to know how she's doing inside." An Su wanted to hide it, but if he didn't tell the truth, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything.

"How so? What did your friend do wrong? Suo Hua blurted out and asked, and when he saw that An Su's face was wrong, he quickly explained, "Although the Yongxiang cell is called a prison cell, it is actually a torture place, and it is said that the people inside did not come out after entering. Even if we were lucky enough to get out, we would become crazy, so when we were in Yongxiang, we didn't even dare to get close to that side. ”

"Is it so scary?" An Su bit her lip, how could Chu Ruo, who had such fine skin and tender flesh, endure this kind of suffering.

"I'm not exaggerating at all, I've seen eunuchs drag people out of their cells, all of them bloody, barely visible. I only saw it once, and then I couldn't sleep for days on end, and it was a terrible scene. Suo Hua shuddered as he spoke, and even now when he thinks about it, he is also afraid.

"I see, Suo Hua, you go and rest!" Ansu probably understood, and no longer aroused her fear.

After late at night, An Sucai tiptoed out of the Huanning Hall and went to the cell in Yongxiang in his memory. Just as he got closer, he heard a terrible cry from inside, but fortunately, the voice did not belong to Chu Ruo. I just want to know that I am still under the criminal law in the middle of the night, and the life inside must be difficult.

An Su brought some money, and originally wanted to bribe the eunuchs at the gate so that he could go in and take a look at Chu Ruo, and even if he couldn't, let them take care of him more. But after contacting the personnel here, An Su realized that these were useless. The Yongxiang prison cell is locked up by fierce and vicious people, and the guards are a hundred times more vicious than these people. They are not greedy for money or lustful, they just stay here wholeheartedly, and they seem to have become one with Yongxiang and become a part of it.

Unable to think of any other way for a while, An Su had to go home. The next day, she was a little absent-minded in the ceremony, and Xu Meiren called her several times before she brought her mind back.

"Ansu, if you are uncomfortable, just change into Mo clothes and come over for you!" Xu Meiren looked at An Su's extremely poor face, and she was a little worried in her heart.

"Niangniang, the slave is fine, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." An Su came back to her senses and quickly focused her attention on Xu Meiren.

Xu Meiren patted her shoulder: "Since you haven't slept well, let's go back and sleep again, don't exhaust yourself, in the next few days, this palace still needs you to accompany you!" ”

An Su felt that his state at this time was indeed not suitable for accompanying Xu Meiren anymore, so he nodded and called Mo Shang to come over to serve. She walked alone behind the Dharma Hall, and she couldn't think of a good way to save Chu Ruo. She had already inquired about the ins and outs of the assassins in the dance workshop, and if Chu Ruo would never have a late-night tryst or have anything to do with the assassins, it must be that Mama Xi and Xuan Rong conspired to get rid of Chu Ruo through this matter.

Ansu kicked the stones on the ground irritably, not noticing the front at all, and ran into a man wearing a Taoist robe. She apologized again and again, and then looked up to see that this person was the long-bearded old Taoist who was the leader of those Taoist priests.

"Why is the girl sorrowful?" An Su wanted to apologize and leave, but she didn't expect the Taoist priest to talk to her suddenly.

"Does the Taoist know that I am worried?" Ansu didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically.

"The word sorrow is clearly written on the girl's face, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance."

An Sudan really wanted to talk to someone to relieve the sadness in his heart, this person in front of him was a Taoist priest, and he was not worried that he would leak anything.

"Dao Chang has good eyesight, my sorrow is for a friend, she is in prison at this time, but I can't think of a way to help her clear her grievances." Ansul in a nutshell.

"What the girl said, is it the dance hall dance girl that has been rumored in the palace in recent days to disturb the palace?"

An Su was suddenly taken aback: "Dao Chang Qingxiu, these gossips in the palace can actually enter the ears?" ”

"It's gossip, and naturally it gets into my ears unconsciously." The long-bearded elder said with a smile, "Besides, this matter also has something to do with the poor road. ”

"What does the Taoist mean?" Ansu was puzzled.

The long-bearded old man generously admitted: "Just because among the two people who went to the dance hall that day, Poor Dao was one of them." ”

"It's you!" Ansu's eyes widened, and then he asked, "Two people?" ”

"Yes, that day the poor road was discovered, and he walked in a hurry, and even the rhino horn ornament on his waist was lost. Later, I found out that the ornament happened to fall at the door of Miss Churuo's room, so she took the black pot for nothing. The long-bearded elder said calmly, "But Poor Dao also saw Miss Xuanrong's mistress on this trip, he thought that the guards were going to arrest him, and when he hurriedly ran out, he didn't even have his clothes fully dressed!" ”

An Su frowned, not only because Chu Ruo had given people the black cauldron for nothing, but also because what this Taoist priest said was really not like what a profound Taoist would say.

"Dao Chief, this matter is very important, if you tell me like this, aren't you afraid that I will send you out in order to save my friend?"

"Your friend, I'll help you get it out, Miss Ansu don't have to worry."

"Why are you helping me?" After Ansu asked this sentence, she felt that it was wrong, "How do you know my name?" ”

The long-bearded old man leaned close to her ear: "The slave told the girl when he left the palace that he would return to the girl soon." ”

"You, you're ...... Deng Tong? An Su looked at him in shock, such a completely different appearance, and only those peach blossom eyes were quite familiar. Who is he sacred, so powerful, not only easy to enter and leave the palace, but also toy with the emperor and the queen mother between applause.

"If next time, the girl can recognize the slave at a glance, the slave will be even happier." Deng Tong generously admitted his identity.

"How did you get this way again? What exactly do you want to do? Ansu had so many questions to ask that he could only want to know his purpose when he gathered in one place in his mind. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not change his identity repeatedly and come to the palace, An Su only knew that he had a relationship with the country of the same generation, but he didn't know what he was going to do.

"The slave just misses the girl and wants to stay with her for a few more days." Deng Tong regained his innate charming appearance, and the long-bearded old man seemed to be just An Su's illusion.

"Do you think I'm going to believe you?" Ansu squinted at him.

"Why doesn't the girl believe it? The slave is sincere to the girl, and will definitely not deceive you. Deng Tong told a lie, and his face did not change.

"Really? If you just want to stay with me, why do you go to the dance studio in the middle of the night? "Ansu deliberately found fault.

"Miss Ansu, isn't this a resentful slave who went to Huanning Hall in the middle of the night to spend a good night with the girl?"

"Shameless!" An Su glared at him vigorously, turned around to leave, and was pulled back by Deng Tong.

"Don't be angry, if the slave makes the girl angry, how about saving the girl's friend?"

An Su stopped at this time, Chu Ruo's matter was indeed imminent. If you don't get her out quickly, I don't know what she will be tortured into in a few days.

"How are you going to save it?"

"The Xuanrong girl in the dance workshop is to clear herself, and she also pushed all this matter to Miss Chu Ruo, if you want to save it, why not return it in the way of others and treat her body?"

An Su thought thoughtfully: "If you can find the adulterer of Xuanrong, you can return your innocence." It's just that the rhino horn ornament, how to explain it? ”

"Didn't the slave just say? The ornament is a slave. Deng Tong reminded on the side.

"If you directly explain to the emperor and the queen mother that the ornament is yours, how do you explain that you have been to the dance shop in the middle of the night?" An Su shook his head, and directly pointed out that it would definitely not work.

Deng Tong's eyes lit up: "The girl was worried about the safety of the slave? ”

"Yes." An Su readily admitted, "If I am the first one, I must be rescued as soon as possible, but you can't be fine." ”

Deng Tong looked at An Su with a smile, and his heart was full of joy, as if he had eaten candied fruit.

"Miss Ansu, don't worry, the slave has her own way to explain the ornament, and the girl doesn't have to worry about the safety of the slave."

Deng Tong's movements were really fast, and only one day after he and An Su revealed their identities, the ritual was forced to stop. At that time, the emperor was waiting outside the Dharma Hall with all the selected female scrolls, and Deng Tong suddenly jumped out.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please forgive Poor Dao for not being able to carry out the rituals." Deng Tong pretended to shake the dust in his hand, "There is an unjust case in the palace that is being staged, and it really has a collision with the law, so if it is forcibly carried out, it will be a curse rather than a blessing!" ”

The Queen Mother was much better because of this ceremony, and this was equivalent to a bolt from the blue for her, and her old man naturally wanted to find out about this so-called unjust case.

"Dao Chief, what does this unjust case refer to? Please also ask the governor to make it clear. ”

Deng Tong pinched his fingers and pretended to calculate, and only replied after a while: "Queen Mother, the poor road counts that the unjust case happened in the dance workshop. ”

"Dance Workshop?" The Queen Mother looked behind her, "Songhe, what has happened in the dance workshop recently?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, there was indeed an incident in the dance workshop a few days ago, that is, there was a dancing girl named Bo Churuo, who was caught having a private relationship with a man. It's just that she has never been willing to reveal the man's name, and it is a big crime to filthy the palace, and now she has been tortured in the prison cell of Yongxiang. ”

"Could it be that the dancing girl named Bo Churuo was wronged?" The Queen Mother frowned and called, "Hu Yu, go and bring that dancing girl, and the mourning family will interrogate it personally." ”

Seeing that the first step was successfully promoted, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Deng Tong's eyes, and the two looked at each other triumphantly and smiled.

It didn't take long for Chu Ruo to be brought over, and it seemed that it was still tidied up, but it was also unbearable to look at directly. Her clothes were oozing blood, and she knew how many wounds there would be on her body, and her whole body was vague, barely able to walk by the two people next to her.

An Su's nose was sore, and she could only hold back her tears and not fall down. The last time I saw her at the door of the dance studio, although I burst into tears, I still had a sense of agility. Now it seems that he has already made a trip to the ghost gate.

"See the emperor and the queen mother, see all the mothers." The people who came over saluted together, and the Queen Mother urged them to bring Chu Ruo to the front.

"She's the dancing girl who had a private meeting with her lover?" The Queen Mother looked at her carefully several times, "It looks decent, but it doesn't look like someone who will confuse the palace." ”

"The Queen Mother knows that the slave and maid are not, and the slave and maid are wronged." Even though Chu Ruo was in a trance, he still subconsciously shouted such a sentence.

An Su was really heartbroken, when he was suffering in Yongxiang at the beginning, he must have shouted this sentence a thousand times. But I also know that no matter how much she shouts, no one will care, and all kinds of punishments will fall on her.

The Queen Mother heard her shouting as soon as she came up, and she also knew in her heart that there must be something strange about this matter, and what Deng Tong said was true.

"Which guard is in charge of this?"

"Hui Empress Dowager, she is the leader of Pei Huan who is on duty at the gate of the dance workshop."

"Call him to the mourners."

After another period of waiting, Pei Huancai rushed over with those people in the dance workshop, and after saluting the Queen Mother, he said: "Queen Mother, the minister heard that the Queen Mother wanted to investigate the case thoroughly, so he brought all the people related to this matter with him. ”

"You're still clever, tell the mourning family what's going on!" Someone had already moved seats to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the concubines.

"Queen Mother, that night in the dance workshop, someone suddenly shouted to catch the assassin, so the minister took someone in to take a look. But the Assassin didn't see it, but saw a shirtless man rushing out with his clothes in his arms, and suddenly disappeared. Subsequently, the minister asked people to strictly inspect the houses of the dancing girls and palace maids in the dance workshop, and only found a rhino horn-shaped ornament at the door of Bo Churuo's room. The ministers guessed that this ornament was the object of love between the two, but it was only because the man was in a hurry that he accidentally fell at the door of the room. ”

"Your conjecture is reasonable, but this girl insists that she was wronged, what do you say?"

"This ...... Maybe Bo Churuo was worried that after he said it, he would not be punished, so he wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the man. Pei Huan was worried that the Queen Mother would blame him, so he quickly found an excuse.

"If this is what you say, then it is not an unjust case, and the ritual will not be interrupted because of this." The Queen Mother looked at Pei Huan coldly, "The mourning family is tired of seeing you, the leader of the guards." ”
