Chapter 266: Meeting a Friend in Prison
Du Ruosheng sat alone in the dark prison, leaning against a wall, staring at the grass not far away, and fell into memory.
This morning, Du Ruosheng had just finished combing in the Huaqing Palace, when he saw a maid in the palace approaching the palace.
"Niangniang, there is a palace man who has a face and asks the slave maid to pass a message to you." The maid said to Du Ruosheng.
"What?" Du Ruosheng asked casually.
"He said that someone asked Niangniang to go to Xiukang Palace, saying that it could confirm Niangniang's suspicions." The maid didn't know what she meant, but the messenger told her that if she said so, her own mother would understand.
"Do you know which palace it is?" Du Ruosheng frowned slightly, turned his head and asked.
"The slave maid doesn't know, she hasn't seen this person before." The maid answered.
"Mother, this is obviously a trap." Luo Yu reminded on the side.
After Du Ruosheng thought about it, he said to the maid: "The palace knows, you go down first." ”
Then he said to Luoyu: "Xiukang Palace? Could it be a concubine? ”
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, and there should be no one else when there is a concubine." Luoyu nodded in agreement.
"You send someone to Xiukang Palace secretly to see if there is any change, and then make plans." However, Du Ruosheng couldn't rest assured in his heart, so he still gave up after explaining Luoyu.
The maid sent by Luoyu came back around noon to make a report, saying that Fang Lanzhi had gone to Shoukang Palace.
After Du Ruosheng learned about it, he finally went to Xiukang Palace.
Xiukang Palace was empty, and she also saw that in the dormitory, the little prince was alone in the room, so she walked over to take a look, but she never thought that Fang Lanzhi would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life to harm her.
So when he saw that the little prince was out of breath, Du Ruosheng was also surprised.
Although she knew that all this was designed for her, but now there is no evidence, even if Yan Qinghan believes her, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for her to get out, not to mention, when she saw Yan Qinghan's hesitant expression, she was disappointed, she didn't even want to explain anything to Yan Qinghan, or maybe, even if she explained herself, what was the use, in his opinion, it might be used as an excuse for quibbling.
However, Du Ruosheng didn't expect that at that time, Yan Qinghan still couldn't fully believe in himself, and the words he said when he begged him to return to him were a bit ironic in retrospect.
Just as Du Ruosheng was thinking about it, a voice came from the cell opposite her.
It wasn't until she came back to her senses that she noticed that the man seemed to be drawing her attention.
Du Ruosheng looked at the man, he was different from other prisoners, although his hair was a little messy, but he was not wearing a prison uniform, his clothes were neat and clean, and then looked at the food plate in his prison, that kind of food could never be enjoyed by a prisoner.
It seems that this person's identity is not simple, Du Ruosheng thought in his heart.
The man saw that Du Ruosheng noticed him, so he thought that the direction of the cell door was closer.
"Which lady in the harem are you?" The man's voice was a little deep, and he asked in a calm tone.
Du Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was still wearing gorgeous palace clothes, and responded: "Empress, do you believe it?" ”
While speaking, Du Ruosheng then looked at the man's face with a faint light, but his hair covered his dressed face, and he couldn't see it clearly.
The man smiled and said, "Believe it, you are Du Ruosheng." ”
The man's laughter attracted Du Ruosheng's attention even more, Du Ruosheng couldn't guess the identity of this man, but he also knew that this person should have some unknown story to be here.
"Who are you, and how did you know me?" Du Ruosheng's voice was a little more vigilant.
But the man's voice was still leisurely and casual, "Does it matter?" ”
"Why are you here?" Du Ruosheng asked again.
This man is different from other prisoners, but he is in this cell, and looking at his appearance, it should be that he has lived here for a long time, Du Ruosheng is indeed a little curious about what he is secret.
"Then why are you here?" The man asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, I have committed a sin, otherwise would I have come here as a guest in a good manner?"
Du Ruosheng pursed his lips and said, what kind of boring questions were asked, Du Ruosheng felt that this person was just fooling him, and some of them stopped paying attention.
"Akan will be willing to let you come here?" After Du Ruosheng heard the man's name for Yan Qinghan, his eyes flashed again, it seemed that this man's identity was indeed unusual.
"Do you know the emperor?"
The man nodded, and then said, "My younger brother has been very different since he was a child. ”
This time, Du Ruosheng realized that the man in front of him was very likely to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was framed by Lu Lan for rebellion, but he didn't expect him to be still alive in this world.
"Are you the former crown prince?" Du Ruosheng asked again uncertainly.
"The Prince.... That was a thing of the past, and now he's just a prisoner. Hearing the man's answer, Du Ruosheng's guess in his heart was answered.
It seems that this prince can be here, and he must have nothing to do with Yan Qinghan.
"Then we're really sympathetic now, and I'm about to become a prisoner." Du Ruosheng said leisurely, as if she didn't care about her next result.
Yan Jinyu looked at Du Ruosheng with interest, and seemed to understand in her heart, why Yan Qinghan was interested in her, this woman was a little interesting.
"What sin have you committed?" Yan Jinyu asked.
Du Ruosheng held the fence of the cell, pretending to be mysterious, "Poisoning the prince, that is the emperor's first child, I'm afraid that even my head will soon be moved!" ”
When Yan Jinyu heard this, she couldn't help but "giggle", he smiled like this, but Du Ruosheng was stunned. 56
"You poisoned the prince, how is it possible?"
When he heard Yan Jinyu's words, the joke on Du Ruosheng's original face was suddenly swept away, yes, a stranger still doesn't believe that he will be poisoned, but why did Yan Qinghan hesitate, but he didn't believe himself.
Yan Jinyu stopped laughing, noticed that Du Ruosheng was wrong, coughed lightly twice, straightened up her messy hair, and then said, "Did you have any misunderstanding with Akan?" ”
After Du Ruosheng heard this, he turned around, turned his back to Yan Jinyu, and did not answer.
Yan Jinyu knew she was right.
"Didn't you make it clear to Akan?"
Du Ruosheng shook his head, still silent.
"Ruosheng girl, in fact, Akan must be uncomfortable at the moment, he won't disbelieve you, he's just looking for a way to have both."
Yan Jinyu's words, Du Ruosheng naturally couldn't listen to them, as Yan Jinyu's brother, he would naturally speak to him, but there was one thing that made Du Ruosheng a little puzzled, Yan Jinyu became like this, but because of Lu Lan, didn't he hate Yan Qinghan, and said good things to himself for him.
"Don't you hate him for taking your place and returning you to the way you are?" Du Ruosheng said slowly, with a hint of confusion.
"I don't hate, but I pushed this position to him, and I have always had unbearable and self-blame in my heart."
Yan Jinyu's words surprised Du Ruosheng, what kind of fairy character can be so open-minded, and he looks like this, not only is it not strange, but he is also distressed?
"You're too eager to open it, aren't you?" Du Ruosheng turned his face and looked at him incredulously.
"How much easier do you think he can be on this high position than me? Sitting in this seat, there will be too much body to be involuntarily, and that is not what I want from the beginning to the end. Du Ruosheng couldn't see the expression on Yan Jinyu's face clearly, but he could also hear a trace of sadness in his tone, it was sadness.
"There are gains and losses, what he gets is the supreme right and admiration, as an emperor, he must be responsible for the people of the world, he lives up to expectations, and he has done a good job." Du Ruosheng said helplessly.
"But he almost lost the one he loved, right?" Yan Jinyu took Du Ruosheng's words and said.
Du Ruosheng looked at him, it turned out that Yan Qinghan had told him about the matter between them.
"But even if he got it again, he didn't cherish it, and he didn't hesitate to get it, so why make those meaningless promises." Du Ruosheng said disappointedly.
"Maybe he has his own troubles."
Du Ruosheng shook her head, yes, there are some things, how can she let an outsider understand it, not to mention that this person is still Yan Qinghan's relative.
"You really didn't hate him, did you?" Du Ruosheng asked again.
"Hate? Akan? It was Empress Lu who did the wrong thing, why should I hate him? ”
This person's love and hate are clear, and if he hadn't been here, he would have done something.
"But he's kept you in this prison forever, hasn't he?"
"Staying here is my request, he has asked me to leave here countless times, but I have not agreed, I am here to atone for my sins."
Yan Jinyu's eyes flickered, and her tone was a little lonely.
"Atonement? It's Empress Lu who is guilty, what does it have to do with you? Du Ruosheng was a little angry.
Yan Jinyu shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "Those who were brutalized by Empress Lu because of me, I am ashamed of them and have regrets. ”
They, Du Ruosheng knows, this also includes Xiao Mansion, Xiao Chengxiang's family, if Yan Jinyu knew that there was still a person alive in Xiao Mansion, would he have a little less self-blame in his heart.
"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's Mansion, dozens of people up and down, nearly 100 people, were slaughtered overnight." Yan Jinyu's hands clenched into fists when she said this.
The courtiers who followed him at the beginning, big and small, as long as Xiao Zetian was the most detached and the most heartfelt to protect him, and because of this, Lu Lan slaughtered the Xiao family, and when Yan Jinyu knew about it at that time, he was angry and remorseful and couldn't do anything.
Seeing Yan Jinyu's somewhat painful appearance, Du Ruosheng tried to blurt out the words several times, but he held back.
"If, I mean, if the little boy of the Xiao family who disappeared back then is still alive and comes back to take revenge, will you stop him?" Du Ruosheng asked tentatively.
Yan Jinyu seemed to be a little sensitive, and responded: "There were still people alive in the Xiao family back then!?" ”
"No, I mean what if, what if."
Du Ruosheng corrected.
"If he is still alive, revenge must be the only mission he left for himself to survive, I naturally won't stop it, if it weren't for the fact that the Lu family is Akan's biological mother, I really want to!"
Yan Jinyu's next words didn't come out, he knew that what he said just now was a bit excessive.
But it was Yan Jinyu's reaction that made Du Ruosheng have an idea in his heart, maybe let Yan Qinghan know the truth, and let Xiaoyi's method of revenge lie in Yan Jinyu's body.
If you can get this person out of here, maybe everything will take a different turn.
It's just that soon, the hope in Du Ruosheng's heart was extinguished, and she almost forgot that she couldn't protect herself now, and she didn't know when this kind of opportunity would have to wait.
"Ruosheng girl, believe me, Akan won't let you have any trouble." Yan Jinyu, who was silent for a moment, suddenly spoke again.
Du Ruosheng smiled bitterly, it didn't matter to her whether there was anything or not, she was just disappointed in Yan Qinghan again.
"If I leave here, I don't want to stay in this palace anymore, maybe you're right, being in a high position, there are too many bodies that can't help themselves, since I will become his burden, it is better to leave him a happy time."
Hearing Du Ruosheng's words, Yan Jinyu seemed to want to say something more, but she just opened her mouth and didn't say it.
Maybe she wanted to persuade Du Ruosheng, but he didn't know how to speak, who would know....
