Chapter Forty-Eight: Death in the Heavenly Prison

Du Zongting fell to the ground and sobbed, and finally stopped his tears, before slowly replying in a low voice: "Lord, you can't fight the prince......"

"Then should we use this way to flatter that kid Liu Yan?" Liu Xu's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth, and the words were like coming from his back molars.

"I ......" Du Zongting raised his head and looked at Liu Xu, speechless for a while.

"Do you know how General Hu died?" Liu Xu said with regret, already crying uncontrollably.

Du Zongting's face was full of shame, and many tears passed through his red face from time to time, and he couldn't help shaking his head, "Can ...... But if you had listened to the Queen Mother and Mr. Lu, there would be no today! ”

After hearing this, Liu Xu turned around, slumped against the iron railing, gradually calmed down, looked up at the top of the dark dungeon, and fell into endless contemplation.

After a long time, Du Zongting also stopped crying, slowly stood up, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then said to the back of King Wei: "Lord Wang, the Holy Lord will come to see you in a while, after all, the father and son are connected, and the lower officials understand the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord can't do anything to you, and for a while, as long as you ask the Holy Lord to intercede more, maybe you can let you out." ”

Liu Xu's eyes were dull, silent, and his heart was mixed, was it really his own fault? Although he deserved to be imprisoned, General Hu died because of his own life, and General Zhang Kan was even more different.

Liu Xu didn't know how long he had been pondering, and he didn't know when Du Zongting left, and finally heard a familiar voice behind him: "Xu'er! Whew! ”

"Father! Father! Liu Xu got up excitedly, and when he turned to look, it was indeed his father. Liu Xu looked at Emperor Han with tears in his eyes, and then he was depressed, and quickly dusted off his body, straightened his linen robe, and then silently bowed to Emperor Han.

Emperor Han's eyes were slightly red, and then he motioned to the people behind him to avoid it. Emperor Han approached the iron fence in three or two steps, looked at his son with pity, and said earnestly: "Xu'er, can you ...... Wrong? ”

Liu Xu still knelt on the ground, his trembling body, and did not respond to his father's answer for a long time.

Emperor Han saw that he was silent, and then he came closer, and asked in a trembling voice: "Xu'er, ...... Do you know that you are wrong? ”

"Erchen knows that he is wrong......" Liu Xu raised his head and replied tremblingly.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Han just wanted his children to be soft in front of him, and seeing Liu Xu's current tragic situation, he also felt ashamed of his deceased mother and queen mother.

Liu Xu stood up slowly, stared at Emperor Han with eyes full of hatred, and said emotionally: "The fault is that I regret not going straight to the prince's mansion to kill Liu Yan, the fault is that my son is in the deep palace and is intrigued all day long, the fault is that my mother died since I was a child and was lonely, and the fault is ......."

"Enough!" Emperor Han couldn't bear it anymore, took a few steps back, and interrupted him angrily, "Until now, you are still stubborn." Among the many princes, I pity you for losing your mother at a young age, so I asked the Queen Mother to raise you with her own hands, and now if it weren't for the Queen Mother's intercession, you would have gone to see your mother a long time ago! ”

"Father, then give me death! I just want to die now......" Liu Xu said, and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"You ......" Emperor Han pointed at Liu Xu angrily, "Are you going to be angry with your father?" ”

"This case is all masterminded by me, and it has nothing to do with others, and now Hu Dayou and Zhang Kan have been punished, and I hope that my father will forgive other Jin Wuwei soldiers." Liu Xu kowtowed again, "This is the only last wish of the son before he died, and I ask my father to fulfill ......"

Emperor Han choked tears on his back, turned around meaningfully, and walked away in the support of the guards.

Liu Xu's sad figure, kneeling on the ground, just now should be the last time he saw his father, thinking of the past, a month ago he was proud of the spring breeze, entrusted with a heavy task by his father, admired by hundreds of officials, tried to follow, even the prince and the king of Wei were very jealous of themselves, the palace of the king of Wei sat back and relaxed, I didn't expect that in just a few days, he was reduced to a prisoner, and this prison has been used to seeing this kind of prosperity and decline! Liu Xu laughed out loud when he thought about it, and shouted: "Wealth and nobility are full of joy, and the wind and moon are ruthless and empty......"

Liu Xu stood up, stretched out his hand to straighten the clothes on his body, wiped the dust on his face with the clean corner of his shirt, and finished finishing his makeup. Liu Xu asked the jailer guarding loudly, "Brother jailer, which direction is the palace in?" ”

The jailer gestured behind him with a pleasant face, "Right in the direction behind you!" ”

Liu Xu then turned around and knelt on the ground, buckled his head three times in the direction of the east, then uncovered his belt, took out a long dagger from the belt, opened the golden scabbard, the dagger was bright, and the cold light swept over Liu Xu's old cheeks.

The Weiguo Mansion has been a little more lively than in the past few days, and the crown prince Liu Yan will come to the door from time to time to ask to see Xun Mou, all the recent events, as well as Xun Mou's sophistication in the officialdom, make this young prince can't believe that Xun Mou is not only resourceful in the military, but also clever in this deceitful officialdom, so the prince now treats the Xun family like a heart. Whenever the prince came to the Guogong Mansion, Xun Yu would also give him a warm welcome.

It's just that the difference today is that the crown prince Liu Yan didn't wait for Xun Yu's father and son to go out to greet him, and he got carried away and went straight to the hall of Xun Mansion from the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and along the way there were words called, "Xun Guogong...... General Xun ......"

Xun Mou's father and son were drinking tea and chatting in the hall, and when they heard the prince calling outside the courtyard, they hurriedly got up and went out to greet them. Xun Yu's father and son hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted: "Hehe! Your Highness, the next time you come, when you have told you, my father and son should go out to greet you, like today, where are the words! ”

Liu Yanchun proudly grabbed the hands of the two of them, and walked to the hall, saying with a smile: "Haha...... There is good news for you in this palace, go! Let's go into the house and say! ”

After the three of them returned to the hall and sat down, after the next person finished serving tea, Liu Yan said to the two of them with a smile: "Today is great news!" ”

Xun Mou had actually expected what the prince wanted to say, but he still pretended to smile and said, "Hehe! What good news will make our Royal Highness the Crown Prince unable to sit still! ”

Liu Yan actually controlled his excitement very much, but he still couldn't help blurting out and whispered proudly: "Liu Xu is dead!" ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a while when he heard this, "Why is it so sudden?" How did he die? ”

"Suicide in fear of sin in prison!"

Xun Yu looked at Xun Mou, and asked the prince again: "The prison is tightly guarded, how can you commit suicide?" ”
