In the Lingwei Mansion, Zhao Mingyue and Shangguan Chengcheng hugged and cried, parting from life and death.

Shangguan Chengcheng wiped his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the heavenly prison to rescue him, and when the time comes, we'll be gone, don't be a princess general." ”

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, they have been prepared for a long time, and you can only throw yourself into the net if you go to save him." ”

Shangguan Chengcheng snorted coldly: "I want to catch this girl, I'm afraid they don't have that ability." ”

"They may not be able to do anything to you, but they can easily kill Ling Kun." Zhao Mingyue still shook her head

"What then? Do you want to see you step into the abyss of fire? Shangguan Chengcheng said angrily.

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said bitterly: "I complain that my life is not good, I was born in the emperor's family, and I can only be a bargaining chip for the royal family to protect the country." Take care of Ling Kun for me, as long as you are happy, I will be happy, really. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng shook his head, tears like pearls with broken threads, and said sadly: "No, without you, we won't be happy." ”

"My life is over, and it doesn't matter whether I live or die in the future. You promise me that when he comes out, he will leave the capital and find a place where no one can find a place to live (rì). ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Shangguan Allure had no idea, she didn't want Zhao Mingyue to leave, but Zhao Mingyue was a royal person and was willing to sacrifice herself for the country, and she couldn't stop it. Just like when the Furong Palace rebelled in the past, what was her life and freedom? So I could only send her to Wan'an Palace.

In the evening, Zhao Mingyue said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother's reaction was not fierce, and when she learned that Li Jiqian and Zhao Mingyue would settle in Kaifeng in the future, she was even more pleased to persuade her: "Mingyue, Li Jiqian is a generation of heroes, you don't have to be wronged to marry him, it's much better than what Ling Kun killed that day, and it can also solve the war in the northwest for the Great Song Dynasty, which is a good thing." ”

Zhao Mingyue choked up and said, "However, I only (ài) Ling Kun." ”

"Alas, (shēn) is a royal person, how can there be no (ài) not (ài), and (ài) can only (ài) the country." The Queen Mother sighed.

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and cried all night. Maybe after this night, there are no tears.

The next day, Zhao Heng rushed to Wan'an Palace with the queen, the concubine, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to send Zhao Mingyue. this

The minister who sent off his relatives was Wang Yingjue, the commander of the guard horse army, who led an army of 10,000 (jìn) to escort Zhao Mingyue westward.

The brigade walked on the streets of the capital, causing a sensation among the people.

Not long ago, there was such a battle, that was when the eldest princess returned from the victory of the expedition to Western Xia, and His Majesty led the ministers out of the city to greet her. Now, it has only been more than a month, and the eldest princess is going to be sent to Xixia and her relatives.

Alas, the royal affairs are unfathomable, but ordinary people always feel that they have done this aggrieved.

Zhao Mingyue sat in the carriage, her face was dead and her eyes were blank, like a walking corpse (ròu).

The team stopped outside the city, and according to the procedure, all the ministers of civil and military affairs knelt down to say goodbye, and Zhao Heng personally boarded Zhao Mingyue's carriage to leave.

Zhao Mingyue never said a word, Zhao Heng was very embarrassed and ashamed, and bowed his head and said: "Mingyue, I know that you hate the third brother, but I am also helpless." Mingyue, forget the past and the previous people, there is still a long way to go, third brother bless you. ”

Zhao Mingyue slowly raised her head to look at Zhao Heng, her dead eyes instantly exuding an awe-inspiring murderous aura. She (bī) looked at Zhao Heng and said, "I agree to all your requests, but I only have one condition, let Ling Kun go, if he is three long and two short, I will make you regret it." ”

Zhao Heng's heart was shocked, and he nodded: "Don't worry, there is no precedent for killing ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, I will not make an exception, as long as you marry Li Jiqian, I will immediately release Ling Kun and give him an official and a knight, of course I will not let him lead troops again." ”

"Hmph, he doesn't care about your officials, just let him go." Zhao Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Zhao Heng (shēn) is the respect of a country, and he is very unaccustomed to Zhao Mingyue's attitude towards him, but he knows that he is at a loss, and he doesn't care, so he admonishes a few words and gets out of the car.

The guard of honor played music, and the grand royal send-off team slowly went on the road. This is the second time that Zhao Mingyue has been sent to kiss, the first time fortunately was snatched back by Ling Kun, this time Ling Kun was imprisoned, and he didn't think about it at all.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, although the guards are heavily guarded and the soldiers are strong, the cell guards inside are not having a good time, they can be scared to death by Ling Kun.

Since Zhao Mingyue left, Ling Kun had not stopped, and had been desperately banging against the cage, but the bronze cage was specially made for him (shēn), how could it

Let him crash away?

When he was bruised and gave up the impact, he began to curse.

"Zhao Heng, you dog. Mother-raised, I (cāo) your eighteenth generation ancestor ......"

"Zhao Guangyi, open your dog's eyes and see what kind of dog mongrel you gave birth to......."

This is the Song Dynasty, this is not a democratic society, and it is unheard of to curse the son of heaven in such a way. The scolding Ling Kun was afraid and didn't say anything, and the officials and soldiers and jailers of the Criminal Department who were listening outside were so frightened that they kept reaching out to wipe their sweat.

This kind of rebellious words, let alone scolding, even if you listen to a sentence, you should be killed.

The waiter of the criminal department lay in front of the cage and begged: "Lord Ling, Uncle Ling, don't scold, okay, the emperor can't hear it, you are embarrassing us." ”

"Get out, Lao Tzu (ài) scolds as much as you want, you feel embarrassed to die. Zhao Heng, you son and grandson bastard....... ”

The waiter of the Criminal Department had no choice but to report it one by one, and reported it to Zhao Heng all the time.

Although Zhao Heng was ashamed of Ling Kun and didn't want to deal with him, if he was allowed to scold him like this, it would hurt the royal face too much.

But what to do? Kill him? No, he remembered Zhao Mingyue's murderous eyes when she left, and he must not provoke her, otherwise Northwest Africa will not only be uneven, but will be even more chaotic.

Well, I am a dignified son of heaven, (xiōng) cherishes the world, how can I deal with you as a prisoner? So he stopped responding to this matter and just pretended not to know.

Shangguan Chengcheng meditated in the courtyard of the Lingwei Mansion all day, not moving, not shaking, not eating or drinking, just like an old monk entering the meditation.

However, the calmer you are on the surface, the more chaotic you are inside.

She couldn't see Ling Kun, but she could fully imagine his helplessness and urgency in the cage. can also imagine how heartbroken and desperate it is that one day he will come out of prison and Zhao Mingyue will become someone else's wife.

Therefore, she must rescue him, at this time, Ling Kun should not be locked inside, he should come out and make his own choice.

Shangguan Chengcheng waited until it was dark, and after a full meal, he changed into night clothes, and went to the prison with one person and one sword. Compared to Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue, Shangguan Chengcheng only likes to solve problems with swords, because martial arts are her greatest advantage.
