Chapter 274: Don't Come
The word "king and defeat" is vividly shown in King Li, before today, he never thought that he would encounter failure, let alone think that the things he was secretly planning and preparing had already been seen through by the emperor, but he didn't say it.
Because of the defeat, when King Li was escorted to the cell, the whole person was listless, like a frosty dish in autumn, and he had no energy at all.
When the prince went to the imperial study to discuss things with the emperor, he happened to see such a scene.
"Why are you so rude to King Li?"
One of the guards turned his head and saw that the person questioning was the prince, who dared to be lazy, and told the whole story in 1510.
The prince was so shocked that he hurried back to his house before he even entered the door of the imperial study.
At the same time, Mo Simin was silently staying in her room and doubting her life, and she couldn't figure it out from beginning to end when the queen poisoned her to drink birth control pills.
If the queen is unwilling to let her marry the crown prince, she can bring it up directly before marriage, why make it like this? And the last time she saw the queen, she took her hand and urged them to have a child as soon as possible, which was also a cloud of doubt hanging over Mo Simin's heart.
Just as she was concentrating on her own business, the prince suddenly pushed the door and entered.
Judging from his anxious expression, Mo Simin guessed what might happen almost immediately, she breathed a little, and even her face changed a lot: "Husband, you came here in such a hurry, it won't be because of Xia Bai's matter, right?" Didn't we discuss with King Li, didn't we want to place Xia Bai and them in a relatively safe place, how could something happen now? ”
A series of questions struck, and the prince didn't know which one to say for a while.
He frowned and slowly walked to Mo Simin's side: "Last time, we did say that we would help Mrs. Lu settle in the capital, but no one thought that Feng Bailin and them would be able to do such an excessive thing. “
Then the prince told Mo Simin about what he had heard from others, and the latter was so frightened that he almost fainted.
People who didn't want to shed tears suddenly became teary-eyed.
"How can there be such shameless people in the world as they are, it is clear that the first person to stir up trouble is themselves, but they often use their power to pour dirty water on others, it is really shameless!"
The anger in Mo Simin's heart was also in the prince's heart, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he couldn't believe that his father, who he had always respected, and his younger brother, could do such a thing.
"Alas, this is a message that has been reported a long time ago, and I don't know what the situation is on the Chang family's side now."
It is estimated that An Xiabai and they are now more and less lucky.
"No, I'll have to see it with my own eyes!" Mo Simin stood up suddenly, raised his feet and was about to walk out.
The prince was quick-eyed and grabbed the person as she walked out.
"Let go of me, I'm going to leave the palace!"
"Simin, I understand your current mood, but I still hope you can calm down, the current situation is special to us that we have not experienced, and we don't understand these things, rather than rushing over by ourselves, it is better to let sensible people come."
Mo Simin raised his eyes with doubts: "Who is the one who understands." ”
The prince pointed to the sky.
What he meant by this was that An Xiabai and the others were now trapped, and the reason was because of the game between King Li and the emperor, and if he wanted to rescue An Xiabai and others, the best way was to work the emperor, and as for what should be done in the future, the prince decided to come by himself.
After leaving Mo Simin, he went directly to the emperor's imperial study.
"What's the matter with you?" At that time, the emperor was reviewing the recital, and when he heard the internal official say that the prince was coming, he didn't even have the idea of meeting the previous one, if it weren't for the fact that the prince was his own son and the future heir of the country, he might not even let the prince enter the door of the imperial study, because he really knew too well what the prince wanted to say, it was nothing more than Lu Li, or the matter of King Li, and coincidentally, the affairs of these two people were not what the emperor wanted to hear.
It turned out that the emperor's guess was not wrong, the crown prince came this time, mainly for the matter of King Li, and he wanted to intercede for King Li.
"Oh? Emperor, are you sure you want to intercede for King Li, do you know that there are all human and material evidence, and even King Li himself admits that he has ill intentions for the throne, is it possible that you still want to argue for him?
The crown prince shook his head, saying that he did not mean to help King Li explain, he just wanted to persuade the emperor to investigate the matter carefully and carefully, instead of relying on the words of one or two people, or one or two pieces of evidence, to convict a prince, after all, this is a major event related to the lifeblood of the imperial court and the turmoil in the world, and if you make a slight mistake, it may lead to unbearable results!
The prince's persuasion was not only accepted by the emperor, but the emperor even classified the prince on the side that supported King Li because of this matter, which made him very annoyed.
"Don't say anything more about King Li's affairs, I have my own plans!"
While they were talking, the queen also rushed over, and as soon as she heard the emperor raise her voice to reprimand the prince, the queen's heart ached like a knife.
"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that what the prince said is not unreasonable, after all, King Li has been in the court for many years, the tree has deep roots, and the courtiers who favor him don't know how many, and now he is convicted with only two or three so-called evidence, saying that he covets the throne and wants to rebel, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and the people's hearts will be unstable!"
The emperor had a cold face and glared at the empress fiercely
"What do you know about the affairs of the court, you are a woman, the harem is not allowed to talk about political affairs, don't you understand it yourself as the queen?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, and lowered her face: "The concubine is only wrong." ”
Unexpectedly, she had already admitted her mistake, but the emperor still did not relent: "How many times have you said that you are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and I also asked you not to teach the prince those messy things, you just don't listen, look at what a good child is taught by you!" It's really more and more like a prince, and sometimes he is not even as good as his brother in terms of righteousness. “
There are not many heirs of the emperor, and even fewer princes can enter the court to assist in political affairs, and the younger brother who can usually be compared with the crown prince, and the prince who has a relatively close relationship with the emperor is Feng Bailin.
The thought of this person made the queen's heart feel angry.
"Righteousness? Your Majesty, you seem to have said the opposite, the concubine heard others say that the second prince had a lot of moths outside the palace, and he also fell in love with a woman with an extraordinary status, who didn't even care about his own personal morality, how could he have great righteousness? ”
"You—" The emperor was angry, and his broad palms were raised high, threatening to slap the queen in the face.
What he never expected was that the queen didn't hide, and even raised her face and took the initiative to let him fight.
After all, I still can't get started!
The emperor flicked his sleeves angrily, and asked the crown prince and empress to leave quickly under the pretext that he was unwell.
The prince rushed all the way to Mo Simin's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Mo Simin waiting in the courtyard, she hurriedly greeted him, looking worried: "What is the situation, does the emperor agree to investigate the matter of King Li thoroughly?" ”
The prince frowned and shook his head.
"The situation is not very optimistic, my father doesn't know what's going on, he just thinks that King Li has rebelled, and now he has taken people into custody, it is estimated that it won't take long to be interrogated, and when the evidence is put together, King Li will definitely not be able to escape."
King Li was punished, so what should An Xiabai do? If King Li doesn't help, I'm afraid the prince alone won't be able to save people!
Mo Simin's worried appearance was seen by the prince, and at this time he was also worried about An Xiabai's affairs.
"I'm so worried about Xia Bai, why don't we go out of the palace to see them 2, I'm afraid that Feng Bailin will be unfavorable to Xia Bai, and you don't know what he is like, when you meet someone who is against you, you never scruple when you start, just like the original Huaqi Banner, I'm afraid that Xia Bai will repeat his mistakes!"
"Okay, then let's go out and have a look."
The crown prince took Mo Simin to change into civilian clothes, and hurried to the palace with his connections, and on the way to Changwen's house, he happened to meet Feng Bailin, who was escorting this person to the direction of the palace.
They hid in the crowd and sneaked all the way, but they were not noticed by the people who sealed Bailin.
"I see her!" Halfway through, Mo Simin didn't know why, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes were staring straight in a certain direction.
The prince followed her gaze and saw An Xiabai.
She was tied by Feng Bailin with a rope and dragged all the way, with a lot of injuries on her body, as well as a lot of bloodstains, all fresh.
When Mo Simin saw such a situation, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"How can they treat her like this, she has never done anything wrong from beginning to end, and tortured people with trumped-up charges, so they are not afraid of God's punishment?"
Mo Simin said as he walked in the direction where An Xiabai was, and it took a lot of effort for the prince to pull the person back.
At the same time, as if he had a heart in his heart, An Xiabai's gaze suddenly turned.
When the four eyes met, Mo Simin's tears became more turbulent, and his movements became more and more intense.
Obviously, his whole body was in pain, but when An Xiabai saw Mo Simin, the corners of his lips still outlined a shallow smile.
She made a lip gesture to her and told her not to come.
It is enough for them to take care of these things.
Although Mo Simin was tightly pulled by the prince, the fierce action still affected the people around him, and people talked about it, most of them thought that Feng Bailin was doing evil and was going to be punished by God.
As if to verify their words, Feng Bailin's horse was suddenly frightened and rushed in one direction, and after a while, a scream was heard from there.
"Help!"
Seeing that the person was about to be trampled to death, Feng Bailin tightened the horse in a hurry, and then stopped moving, and even saw the direction in which the horse was running, and the frightened person.
The woman was dressed in a thin shirt and had a beautiful appearance, who was it not his cousin Su Ruyue?
"Why are you here?"
