Chapter 497 Cell
As he spoke, he suddenly hugged the pillar of the prison door of the prison of the Criminal Department, "Oh ......, ah......, who can help me tell the emperor, and plead with the emperor for me, the money for building water conservancy was not swallowed by me alone, I have regretted it, I will no longer be so greedy and pervert the law, the emperor, you will pardon it, I don't want to be an official anymore, I just want to be an ordinary person." ”
"Phew! It turned out to be a corrupt official who was caught by the emperor, people like you are more hateful than those who forcibly occupy other people's daughters-in-law! The womanizer who forcibly took away other people's daughters-in-law and children destroyed only one family, but you destroyed thousands of families, you should have broken your body into thousands of pieces, and you still have the face to cry out for injustice?! Bah! ”
It was a man who looked like a scholar who spoke, and he rolled his eyes with the fat man with disdain as he spoke.
"What qualifications do you have to scold Lao Tzu? What do you think you're a good thing for?! If you hadn't committed a capital crime or broken the law, could you be put in this prison in the Criminal Department? "Xu is an official for a long time, and he has been respected and used to it, but he can't stand the slightest contempt from others in his heart, the fat man was scolded, and he forgot about being beheaded, and he was more serious with the scholar.
The scholar shook his head, "If I hadn't begged the Lord of the Criminal Department to take it for my father, how could I, a clean scholar, be in the company of such a traitorous person as you!" ”
There was a sound of "bang", "bang", "bang", and a big man with a heavy handcuff walked forward, wearing his handcuffs and shackles, "What are you arguing about!" What a noise! He turned to the fat man who was an official, "Look at your bag, you can be an official like you, God really doesn't have long eyes." But if I can go out, I will definitely go to your house to explore the way."
"Steal all the gold and silver treasures you embezzled, and take them to the Qinglou to have a good time. Hahaha......"
"The scar on the head is the size of a bowl, what are you crying about, are you a good man again after eighteen years, hahaha......"
Zhu Chen sat blankly on the straw mat in the cell, looking at the ray of sunlight shining into the stinking cell from the narrow window.
His face was calm and his demeanor was calm, as if he had already digested the horror of being exposed to witchcraft in the Shengyang Palace, and greeted the arrival of death calmly and peacefully.
After a burst of Suosuo's footsteps, the two jailers came straight to Zhu Chen's cell, "Zhu Chen, hurry up, someone has come to see you." ”
The jailer said as he helped Zhu Chen open the cell door, Zhu Chen stood up slowly, and his hands were immediately shackled by the jailer, and the other jailer pushed Zhu Chen to the cell door, "Hurry up, go quickly, rub something." ”
The big man who was going to the Qinglou stood at the door and watched Zhu Chen pass by, "Yo, there was a eunuch locked up here." Why didn't you find out? How could a eunuch be sent here, if he made a mistake, he would just kill him with a rod, why do he need to do it many times? ”
"Don't understand bullshit! He made the big mistake that he couldn't just kill with a cane, and he had to be executed seriously. "That fat official, don't forget the last trick.
Zhu Chen followed the jailer who walked in front and was taken to a relatively quiet cell, and at the door of the cell stood a palace maid, who was Concubine Xin's personal palace maid Xiaocui.
When Xiao Cui saw Zhu Chen, she didn't make a sound, and stepped forward to give the jailer in front of her some broken silver, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's hard work, can you take off my brother's shackles, we won't run." ”
The jailer hesitated for a moment, accepted Xiao Cui's silver, and removed the shackles on Zhu Chen's hands,
Xiao Cui motioned to Zhu Chen and let him enter the door of the cell, Zhu Chen walked in, Xiao Cui took the door of the cell, but saw a woman wearing a big hat standing in the center of the cell, the person turned around, she was wearing the clothes of the palace maid, and the hat she put on her head, Zhu Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly leaned over and knelt down, "Slave see Concubine Xinniang." ”
Concubine Xin stepped forward and bowed down and helped Zhu Chen up, "Zhu Chen, get up." ”
"Concubine Xin, this prison is dark and obscure, and it is not the place where you should come as a rich body."
Zhu Chen raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Xin, and said lightly.
Concubine Xin smiled bitterly, her eyes were already flushed, "What kind of rich body, it's just a lingering breath." ”
"Mother, don't say that about yourself,"
Concubine Xin stepped forward and stared at Zhu Chen's face, "Zhu Chen, I pushed all this on you, do you hate me very much now?" ”
Zhu Chen lowered his eyes, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave is willing to share the worries of the mother." ”
Concubine Na Xin took another step forward and said excitedly: "Where is this for me, I am giving you your life!" "The girls are small
"Zhu Chen knew Niangniang's hardship, at that time, he could only do that, even if Zhu Chen died, he didn't blame Niangniang."
When Concubine Xin heard this, tears immediately slipped from her eyes, "Zhu Chen, in my life, the most sorry person is you, I have failed your affection, if it weren't for me, how would you, a rich son, come to this palace to be a eunuch." ”
Concubine Xin stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhu Chen's hand, at this moment, Zhu Chen was also poked to the most sore spot in her heart, and tears rolled down, "Niangniang, since the first time I met Niangniang by the West Lake, Zhu Chen has regarded you as the woman in my destiny, since I saw you, Zhu Chen has never thought of being accompanied by other women in this life." ”
"Even if you enter the palace as a eunuch, it is Zhu Chen's willingness, the Chen family wants to send you into the palace, and I can only be separated from you by becoming a eunuch, Zhu Chen knelt down and begged Ling Zun for three days and three nights before he got the permission of your family, Zhu Chen promised Ling Zun, he will definitely take his life to protect you, this is Zhu Chen's promise, Zhu Chen will definitely practice it."
"In the past four or five years, Zhu Chen has regarded Niangniang as the most important person in this life, and Niangniang's affairs are also the most important thing in Zhu Chen's life, but this deep palace compound is more bloody than ordinary people's struggles and dumping."
Zhu Chen let out a long sigh, looking lonely, "Niangniang, Zhu Chen knows that there is only the handsome emperor in Niangniang's heart, and all you think about day and night is only the emperor A man, although Zhu Chen feels uncomfortable, Zhu Chen knows that he has become a eunuch, and it is impossible to be like a normal man, and he is not worthy of your love." ”
"Therefore, Zhu Chen regards Niangniang's wish as his own wish, Zhu Chen is willing to help Niangniang capture the emperor's favor, and Zhu Chen is also willing to do everything for Niangniang, as long as he can see you happy, as long as he can see you laugh, Zhu Chen will have no regrets in this life."
Concubine Xin was already crying, "If you hadn't come to the palace with me, you would have inherited the family business, already married, and your children would have been on your knees, but now you want to bear this infamy for me and go to Huangquan." And you don't hate me, it's because I'm sorry for you, it's because I'm too selfish! ”
Concubine Xin grabbed Zhu Chen's arm and shook it vigorously, "Zhu Chen, you hate me, you hate me, I will feel better." Curse me, I deserve it. ”
Zhu Chen stood there in a daze, letting Concubine Xin shake herself, he looked affectionately at the woman in front of him who had done her best to love, "No, Zhu Chen will not hate Niangniang, Zhu Chen's feelings for Niangniang in this life only have love, no resentment." ”
When Concubine Xin heard this, she stopped her hand, "Zhu Chen, I framed you like that, I obviously asked you to do those things, but I put all the blame on you, don't you hate me?!" Why don't you hate me, you're so stupid, you're so stupid! I hurt you, I personally sent you to the death field! ”
Zhu Chen stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on Concubine Xin's face, "Before I walked into the clean room, I always dreamed that I could be with you in this life, holding your hand, sharing a white head, and walking out of the clean room, I have always hoped that you can be safe and sound, and you can get your wish." I entrusted my whole life to my emotions, and I died without regrets. If you say that you have regrets, you didn't see you become the queen and walk into Shengyang Palace. ”
Concubine Xin cried and was annoyed, she lay on Zhu Chen's chest, "Zhu Chen, I really regret it now, I didn't care about your affection for me, Zhu Chen, I didn't expect you to die for me, Zhu Chen, I regret it, I shouldn't have entered the palace, I want to be with you for the rest of my life." Zhu Chen, Zhu Chen......"
Concubine Xin hugged Zhu Chen's waist and cried again, but Zhu Chen smiled distressed and sadly, "It's too late, it's too late." He gently stroked her hair with his hand, "I have thought countless times about hugging you in my arms, holding you, protecting you, and caring for you all my life, but I didn't expect that I could hug you, but in such a dark cell, but before I was about to go to the execution ground." ”
"Don't cry anymore, don't regret it, this is my fate, in the next life, I hope I can still find you, I hope we can turn into butterflies, fly, and play in this good world."
"Xin'er, I love you, and I am willing to love you with my life."
"Xin'er, in my absence, you must take good care of yourself, live well, and live happily."
Concubine Xin grabbed his sleeve tightly, "Don't!" No! I'll tell the emperor now, I don't want you to die. I regret it, I ask him to let us out of the palace, I ask him to let you go, I am willing to live with you incognito for the rest of my life. ”
"Or, I'll just tell him that I made you do all these things, and it's all my sin. You can't die, I can't imagine how I would live in this deep palace compound without you. ”
Zhu Chen hugged Concubine Xin tightly, "Don't be stupid, if you tell the truth, your parents and your uncle will be implicated, this is not your business alone, it is a family matter of your Chen family, let me die for you." ”
He snatched Concubine Xin out of his arms, "With what you just said, I will die a well-deserved death." ”
Zhu Chen gently kissed Concubine Xin's forehead, "As long as you remember me in your heart, this is enough." ”
Concubine Xin gritted her teeth tightly, looking at Zhu Chen with teary eyes, she suddenly found that before she knew it, she had passed by the most beautiful happiness in this life, and she couldn't catch it if she wanted to.
She felt that her heart was dripping blood, the life that had been tilted left and right in the past few years, she was exhausted, she had survived to today's status, how much hard work she had paid, only she knew, in the face of Zhu Chen, who was about to die, in the face of the person who loved her the most in this life, the reputation, status, reputation, and reward in front of her, all of this has been light.
However, it was really too late. It's too late.
Concubine Xin was suddenly disheartened, she stared at Zhu Chen, "On the shore of Xizi Lake, in order to enter the palace, I failed your true affection for me, in the Shengyang Palace, in order to get rid of the crime, I pushed you to the death penalty." It wasn't until today that I felt like I should value something more. Zhu Chen, in the next life, I will go to you, and I must spend my life with you. ”
