Chapter 185: Just Wanting to Meet
Mrs. Cheng had some doubts in her heart, could it be that Concubine Hui complained to Wei Han, so the prince was so fierce to herself. "Do you say that the prince is angry with the concubine because of what happened to Concubine Hui yesterday, or is he in a bad mood because Su Zhenzhen is about to be executed?"
Mrs. Cheng frowned and asked the maid beside her with some confusion.
The little maid tilted her head and thought for a while and replied: "The slave maid thinks that Concubine Hui and the prince are both people in high positions, so they should not be so stingy, because of a trivial matter, they are angry with the mother, and the slave maid thinks that the latter is more likely, and the slave and maid see that the prince is always busy and dizzy in the past two days, and I hope that Princess Su's life will be soon." ”
Hearing the little maid say this, Mrs. Cheng was in a good mood, and she was finally going to deal with the scourge of Su Zhenzhen, and she didn't have to do it herself, Mrs. Cheng evoked a cruel smile, and Fang Cai's emotions disappeared immediately.
"Liufang, how's the preparation in the kitchen?" Mei Niang sat on the Luohan bed and drank tea and asked.
"The princess is already ready."
Mei Niang is going to take a look at Su Zhenzhen in prison today, on the one hand, for the sake of acquaintance, and more importantly, for Wei Han's appearance.
Wei Han sat in his study and waited for the news of the dark one, if this matter was really done by Mrs. Cheng, it would be simple, if it was not done by Mrs. Cheng, it would have to continue the investigation.
"Lord Wang." Dark One stood outside the door and called softly.
"Come in." Wei Han responded, looked left and right darkly, and left his subordinates outside to guard.
"This king asked you to investigate the matter, how are you investigating now?"
"Lord Wang, there is a result, the subordinates have investigated this matter and have nothing to do with Mrs. Cheng, in recent years, Mrs. Cheng has not been in contact with anyone except Concubine Jing and your mother Hui Guifei, and Mrs. Cheng has always been with Mei Niang at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and has never left, so all kinds of indications indicate that this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Cheng."
Dark One told Wei Han about the results of his investigation one by one, and Wei Han looked a little serious when he heard it, since he was not Mrs. Cheng, would it be his father.
Wei Han's mood was a little complicated at this time, if it was really this matter instructed by the emperor, then wouldn't he have to fight with the emperor more, Wei Han was a little annoyed, but in order to save Su Zhenzhen, he couldn't think about it so much, if it was the emperor's hand, then Su Zhenzhen would be in danger at any time, and the most tricky thing at the moment was to hurry up and ask the emperor for clarification.
Wei Han got up hurriedly and walked out of the door, followed closely behind.
"Princess, the prince is out."
"Concubine Ben saw it, asked the kitchen to prepare things, and went to prison with Concubine Ben later."
"Yes, Princess."
The Imperial Study
"Your Majesty, the three princes ask to see you." The director's father-in-law came in to report.
The emperor sat on the Luohan bed, put his arm on the table, supported his forehead with one hand, quietly closed his eyes to recuperate, and heard the return of the director's father-in-law, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, with a little tiredness on his face.
"Call him in."
"Son-in-law, see father."
"Get up, but you're here today for Su Zhenzhen's business?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he had guessed Wei Han's intention to come over, and Wei Han also nodded. The emperor suddenly laughed and sighed helplessly.
After receiving the explanation, he said the image of the emperor in his heart, and the emperor laughed softly when he heard the words.
He suddenly saw that he seemed to understand that there was something in Wei Han's words, which didn't mean that his image in Wei Han's heart had changed now.
"Father, will you kill a guilty prisoner easily?" Wei Han looked at the emperor's eyes intently, very sincere.
The emperor was a little puzzled by Wei Han's question, and he didn't know how to answer.
Wei Han looked at the emperor expectantly, eager to get a positive answer, Wei Han waited; , The process of replying was a little tormented in my heart, and I couldn't help clenching my fists tightly.
"Say, what the hell is going on, you don't want to sell it anymore." The emperor did not answer Wei Han's question directly, Wei Han's heart was shocked, his pupils suddenly dilated, and then returned to normal.
"Father, since this is the case, Erchen said it bluntly, a few days ago, Su Zhenzhen was tortured to confess and admit the crime, fortunately, Erchen's subordinates arrived in time, yesterday Su Zhenzhen was almost assassinated, Erchen thought that Su Zhenzhen, as a princess, had not yet been charged, and it was so unsafe in prison, so Erchen sent more people to protect Su Zhenzhen."
When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid you're here today to "rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt". ”
Wei Han suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor's eyes, indeed the main purpose of his coming over today was to ask the emperor if this matter was sent by the emperor to do it, thinking that it was not good to ask directly, so Wei Han did not say it directly, but the emperor understood what Wei Han meant.
"Erchen doesn't dare."
"If you don't dare, you won't appear in front of me today to ask me."
The emperor was not angry, his face was still the same look as when Wei Han first came, Wei Han was a little unpredictable, he originally thought that the emperor would be furious about this, but now the emperor seemed to have just come back to find him, very calm.
"I will tell you clearly today that if I want to attack Su Zhenzhen, I will never be so troublesome, and I can directly order the killing of Su Zhenzhen."
"In other words, the matter is really not ......"
"It's not." The emperor turned his back and interrupted before Wei Han could finish speaking.
Wei Han frowned slightly and looked at the emperor, "It's the son who blames the father." Wei Han said helplessly, what the emperor said is not unreasonable, as the king of a country, whoever he wants to kill is a simple matter, why bother to make a big deal and send a group of killers.
The emperor sat back on the Luohan bed, closed his eyes slightly, and looked unwilling to say anything, Wei Han couldn't stay too long when he saw this.
"The retainers retired."
The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hand at Wei Han, and Wei Han turned around and left.
Since this matter was neither done by the emperor nor Mrs. Cheng, who else would there be, Wei Han was a little puzzled, the most likely two people were not, Wei Han was also a little lucky, fortunately this matter was not done by the emperor, and Wei Han really couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.
Could it be Wei Cheng, later Wei Han denied his own idea, if Su Zhenzhen died, it would do Wei Cheng all kinds of harm and no benefit. Wei Han kept thinking about this matter on the way to find Su Zhenzhen.
"Lord Wang, what's the situation?" As soon as he saw Wei Han coming out of the imperial study, he frowned and asked with some worry.
"It wasn't my father's doing."
Dark Yi was a little surprised when he heard it, because as soon as Wei Han came out, he had a straight face, and Dark One thought that this matter was really done by the emperor, and the prince was not easy to deal with, so he would keep a straight face.
"Since he is not the emperor, why is the prince still worried."
"Now the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and we don't know who the other party is and what the purpose is." When Wei Han thought of this, he was a little worried.
At this time, it suddenly rained outside, Mei Niang stood in the house and quietly looked at the rain outside the window, listening to the sound of the rain, fantasizing about her bright future, Mei Niang's face appeared a smile.
"The princess is ready, let's go."
"Well, go get a thin cloak and bring it to Princess Su." Mei Niang turned around and instructed, Liu Fang was a little puzzled, but she still did as Mei Niang said.
Liu Fang gave Mei Niang an oil-paper umbrella, another palace maid, carrying a lunch box, and several people were about to go out, when they happened to run into Mrs. Cheng who was about to come out.
"Sister, where are you going?" Mrs. Cheng took the pastry in her hand and glanced at Mei Niang contemptuously and asked.
"Sister, Sister Su has been in prison for a few days, maybe it will be gone when it will be gone, and my sister wants to go over and take a look at her." Mei Niang didn't hide it, and replied generously.
"The cat cries rats, false compassion. Go, go, take the concubine to say hello to that slut, the concubine doesn't want to go to that kind of dark place, since my sister is willing to go, let's go quickly. Mrs. Cheng shuddered and turned around and went back to her room.
Mei Niang's eyes flashed with cruelty, the dog couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, she was not the eldest lady of Cheng Mansion and she was so arrogant, look at how miserable you will die at that time. Mei Niang didn't pay any attention to Mrs. Cheng, turned around and left.
After a while, Mei Niang arrived at the place where Su Zhenzhen was held, Mei Niang stood outside, hesitated for a while, thinking about the dark and damp inside, maybe there would be mice, and finally gritted her teeth, her heart was still in the cross, Mei Niang couldn't help but shudder, just stepped into the first step in prison, Mei Niang felt that it was gloomy inside, a little depressed, and went inside, a strong smell came to her nose, Mei Niang covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and was choked and coughed gentlyand go inside.
Su Zhenzhen heard a few women's coughs outside, and frowned slightly, how could there be a woman's voice in this prison. And this voice doesn't look like the voice of August, and August won't come at this point.
Soon, Mei Niang's appearance answered the doubts in Su Zhenzhen's heart.
"Sister Sue." Mei Niang shouted happily, and she couldn't see what Mei Niang really thought in her heart.
"Sister, why are you here?" Su Zhenzhen stood up and greeted her, the two of them had different thoughts, but at this time, they behaved like close friends for many years.
"Concubine Ben has always been by Concubine Hui's side these days, you have been in for so long, Concubine Ben has not been free to come and see you, but this heart has always been thinking about my sister, today I finally have time, come to see my sister, and bring some things to my sister."
Mei Niang asked someone to put all the food she brought in front of Su Zhenzhen, as well as the cloak she brought to Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen suddenly felt a little moved, no matter whether Mei Niang was true or not, at least she was not afraid of being affected and came to visit her.
"It's raining outside, the weather is a little cold, so the concubine will ask someone to bring you a cloak, if there is anything missing, tell my sister, and the concubine will ask someone to send it." Although Mei Niang's mouth said so, she didn't think so in her heart, wishing that Su Zhenzhen would die quickly, what else was there to use, she was a person who was dying soon.
"Thank you, sister." Su Zhenzhen also politely thanked her.
Mei Niang looked at Su Zhenzhen in front of her, her messy hair and clothes were also messy, but she couldn't cover Su Zhenzhen's smart eyes, but because of this messy hair, she seemed to have a different kind of beauty, Mei Niang had a smile on her face, but her sleeves were tightly clenched with her fists, why was Su Zhenzhen so beautiful and so favored, the jealousy in Mei Niang's eyes flashed, Su Zhenzhen was also a little surprised, she never thought that Mei Niang would be so kind to visit her at such a time, I always felt a little unsteady in my heart, I just hoped that Wei Han would come over soon, and the two of them chatted with each other.
Mei Niang glanced at the door from time to time, as if she was looking for someone, although Mei Niang's eyes were subconsciously skimmed, but Su Zhenzhen still noticed it.
