Li Yinglong was lying on the narrow broken bed in the cell like a nobody, holding the book of martial arts cheats and looking at him with relish, looking at him like that, as if the person who was in the prison was not him, he was someone else. Or, instead of being in prison, he was lying comfortably on a soft bed in a high-end hotel room.

At this moment, the jailer came over with four palace guards.

Li Yinglong put away the secret book and stuffed it into his arms, and then looked at the people.

The jailer stabbed the lock on the cell door with the key in his hand, opened the door, and then shouted inside: "Brother, come out, change places."

Li Yinglong didn't move, and asked suspiciously: What does it mean to change places?

The jailer was impatient: Ask so much what you are doing, just follow along.

Li Yinglong walked out of the cell, and a guard suddenly took out a black cloth bag from his arms and put it on Li Yinglong's head.

Li Yinglong hurriedly asked: Hey, what are you doing, why do you want to put my head on it?

The jailer said on the side: I don't understand this yet, I'm afraid that someone will come out of you.

As soon as the jailer's words fell, he heard a guard shouting at him: What are you talking about, you know a lot, don't you? If you don't use it, I'll change the place for you.

Hearing this, the jailer hurriedly waved his hand and said: Don't say it, don't say it, you please, you please.

With that, he hurriedly stepped aside, closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Yinglong said: If you recognize it, you can recognize it, and I'm not afraid of meeting people.

One of the guards yelled at him: Don't be verbose, go quickly.

After saying that, he dragged Li Yinglong out with a smoke, walking so urgently, as if he was afraid that people would know about his existence.

Zhao Ying returned to the Kaifeng Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a yellow caravan parked in the open space at the door, and there were eight palace guards holding horses standing next to the car.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be stunned, and said in her heart: Why is there someone in the palace, who is it? Could it be the emperor?

But then he denied this idea, it was the emperor who ordered Li Yinglong to be arrested, and what he was most afraid of now was to see the people around Li Yinglong, which was called a thief's heart. Therefore, it is too late for him to hide now, how could he personally come to Kaifeng Mansion to meet these people around Li Yinglong.

But if it weren't for the emperor, who else would there be? Ah, could it be that Ying Long's mother, the Queen Mother, is here? Yes, it must be the queen mother, who else can be more anxious about the disappearance of his son than his own mother.

Thinking about it, she pulled her legs and rushed towards the palace, rushing in such a hurry that the four soldiers thought something had happened, so frightened that they almost didn't rush in with her.

When she came to the door of her room, Zhao Ying pushed open the door and broke in, and after entering, she shouted loudly: Mother, who is in the palace? Is my Queen Mother here?

After the words came out, I saw the Queen Mother sitting on the edge of the bed talking to her mother, and I couldn't help but be surprised: Aunt Queen Mother, it's really you, why did you ------ your old man here?

The queen mother glared at her and complained: What are you doing with this girl, why didn't your mother send me a letter when she came.

Zhao Ying showed an embarrassed expression on her face and said: I just took my mother over, and before I had time to send a letter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother came by herself.

After that, he paused, and guessed again: My aunt is here for Ying Long's affairs, did the emperor promise to let Ying Long come back?

Hearing this, her mother answered: Ying'er, we are all mistaken, the emperor did not arrest Ying Long, and the emperor did not know Ying Long's whereabouts.

Zhao Ying was stunned: Who said it, did the emperor say it?

The Queen Mother nodded: Yes, it was the emperor who said it, and the emperor told me, the day before yesterday

At noon, he invited Ying Long to go out to the Four Seas Restaurant to drink, but he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to contact Ying Long about his feelings, Ying Long was happy to drink too much that day, and when he was drunk, the emperor ordered someone to hire a car on the street and let the coachman send Ying Long back, as for why Ying Long disappeared, the emperor didn't know, the emperor was very concerned about this matter, and he had sent someone out to investigate.

Hearing this, Zhao Ying's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly: The emperor is lying.

The Queen Mother and the Princess couldn't help but be stunned, and then said in unison: Ying'er, what did you say? The emperor is lying.

Zhao Ying nodded: Yes, I said that the emperor was lying.

Hearing this, the princess's face changed and she scolded: Ying'er, do you mean that the emperor told a lie? How is this possible, why did the emperor tell lies.

Zhao Yingdao: That's right, it's the emperor who told a lie.

After that, he paused, and then said: I went to the prison just now, the prison has been under martial law, no one is allowed to enter, I just wanted to go back to find someone to discuss a way, but I met a prison official I knew before, his name is Wu Youjin, I begged him to take me into the prison to have a look, he said no, three days ago the emperor decreed that the prison was listed as a forbidden place, and those who want to enter must have the emperor's holy decree.

I asked him why, and he whispered to me that three important prisoners were imprisoned in the prison three days ago, one was Zuo Prime Minister Kou Zhun, the other was Yang Yanzhao, the marshal of Sanguan, and the other was Ying Long, the new prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. But the emperor actually said that he didn't catch Ying Long, isn't he lying?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked: What, even Kou Xiang and Marshal Yang have been arrested, he ------ him, what is the emperor doing, I don't even know about such a big thing.

After that, he was very angry with a wave of his hand: Ying'er, take me to the prison.

Hearing this, Zhao Ying was happy: Okay, auntie, I'll take you to the old man's house.

A group of guards escorted a gray caravan into a large, but desolate-looking, courtyard.

There is a large rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and next to the rockery there is a red octagonal stone pavilion, and in the middle of the pavilion stands a one-legged stone table.

The guards escorted the car to the one-legged stone table, stopped, and then jumped off their horses together, and one of the guards came to the car and lifted the curtain and shouted to the car: Hey, it's here, come out.

Li Yinglong, who was wearing a black hood, got out of the carport, in fact, this black hood didn't work for Li Yinglong, Li Yinglong only had to use his power to release his divine sense, he could clearly understand everything around him, if these guards who escorted him wanted to do anything to him, he would preemptively kill these guards at the first time, fortunately, these guards didn't do anything to him along the way, otherwise, they would be dead now.

The guard helped him out of the car and pulled him into the pavilion.

Then one of the guards pressed on the stone table in the pavilion, and saw that the stone table suddenly moved to the side, and then a hole three feet square appeared in the ground, and there was a staircase at the entrance of the cave that extended into the ground, and the hole was quite deep.

Two guards carried Li Yinglong into the hole, and then walked down the stairs to the ground.

About three to five minutes later, two guards carried Li Yinglong into a stone room again, the stone room was very dark, one of the guards took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit it, and then walked to a table by the wall and lit an oil lamp on the table, and the stone room immediately became bright

Then a guard reached out and took off the black sleeve that Li Yinglong was wearing on his head, Li Yinglong shook his head, wiped his eyes, and then looked around curiously.

After a moment he asked, "Hey, brother, what is this place?"

A guard said coldly: Why do you ask so much, stay honest.

After that, he waved his hand to the other guards and shouted: Let's go.

A few of the guards walked out, and when they got out, they clicked the door shut outside.

A yellow wagon, escorted by eight guards, came to a halt at the gate of the prison.

The guards jumped off their horses, one of the guards stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the car, Zhao Ying first got out of it and jumped to the ground, and then the queen mother got out of it, and Zhao Ying helped her out of the car.

One of the four guards in front of the prison gate hurriedly walked over and stopped everyone and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Ying looked at the guard and said, "Don't you know me, I came here just now."

The military guard recognized Zhao Ying and said busily: It's the sister in the palace, why are you back again?

Zhao Yingdao: Go in and inform the head of your prison, and say that the queen mother has arrived, and let him come out to pick it up.

As soon as the military guard heard that the queen mother was coming, his body shook violently in fright, and he hurriedly said: Yes, yes, my subordinates will report it.

After that, he turned around and ran to the door and patted it vigorously, and then shouted inside: Open the door, open the door quickly, I am the team leader Wu Weitian, I have something important to report to the manager.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and the captain of the guard team arched in.

After a while, a middle-aged official wearing a third-grade official uniform hurriedly walked out of the prison with two officials wearing a fourth-grade official uniform.

Among the three officials, there was Wu Youjin who had leaked the news to Zhao Ying, but at this time, Wu Youjin didn't dare to greet her and recognize her, and he wanted to avoid suspicion. Because, although he didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly came to the prison, it must have something to do with Zhao Ying. In other words, Zhao Ying must have told the Empress Dowager about Kou Xiang, Marshal Yang and the young prefect being imprisoned in the prison, and the Empress Dowager was angry and came over to check.

If his guess is true, then it has something to do with him, because he leaked these things in the prison to her, but he will never admit it, once the emperor knows that he leaked this matter, the emperor will definitely cut off his head in anger. Therefore, he had to pretend not to know Zhao Ying to avoid suspicion, of course, he also believed that Zhao Ying would not betray him, because Zhao Ying was now pretending not to know him and ignoring him.

The three of them came to the front of the Queen Mother, knelt down and bowed: Minister, see the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose.

The queen mother shouted very majestically: Flat.

The three officials stood up from the ground and bowed to the side.

Zhao Ying instructed the third-grade official: The Queen Mother is going to the prison today to take a look and lead the way.

Hearing this, the third-grade official looked at the other two fourth-grade officials, and then said to the queen mother: The queen mother, the emperor has a decree, and the heavenly prison is listed as a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's will.

Hearing this, the queen mother said sharply: Is this palace anyone, and the emperor's decree includes this palace? Lead the way, and those who violate the order will not be killed.

Hearing this, the third-grade official shook his body in fright, and then stretched out his hand in a panic and made a gesture of please: Yes, yes, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please.

After that, he led the way with the two four-rank officials and led the way with the Queen Mother, Zhao Ying and the four guards towards the gate of the prison.

The third-grade official took the Empress Dowager and Zhao Ying and others to the reception hall in the prison, he let the Empress Dowager sit on a chair, and then bowed down and asked carefully: I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants to see in the prison?
