Chapter 5: Out of Prison
Shu Zicheng admittedly did not deceive her, and three days later, good news came from the palace.
At that time, Shu Qing was waiting for breakfast in the prison of the Criminal Department, perhaps because of the hot weather in the past few days, Shu Qing's appetite increased greatly, and he suffered a whole night, Shu Qing and the two girls were already hungry, and it was easy to wait for the official who brought them breakfast every day, but I saw that his hands were empty, and he didn't bring anything to eat.
Xuehuan couldn't help but rush forward, grabbed the railing with both hands, and asked excitedly: "Brother Ya Servant, why didn't you eat today?" ”
The servant reached out and took out a key from the placket of his clothes, and said with a smile while opening the lock neatly: "What is delicious about the food in the prison?" The girls will no longer have to eat in prison. ”
Xue Pei's mind was sensitive, and she immediately asked, "Isn't it that we are going to be released from prison?" ”
"yes." The official smiled and said, "Lord Yang, the servant of the Criminal Department, has reviewed the case, Miss Shu is innocent, she can be acquitted today, the holy decree will come in a moment, the three of you should go out with me to receive the decree first." ”
Hearing this, Xue Pei and Xue Huan glanced at each other, and jumped up with joy: "Great! That's great! Mother, we finally keep the clouds open and see the moon! ”
Oh, yes! They don't have to stay in this place anymore!
"Hmm." Shu Qing's chin was light, and then he stood up with the support of the two girls.
The three of them followed in the footsteps of the servants and soon left the dungeon.
It was a fine day, and the moment I walked out of the dungeon, the fierce sunlight rushed towards me. After staying in the dungeon for a long time, Shu Qing almost forgot what color the daylight was.
Shu Qing, who was accustomed to the darkness in the prison, couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes the moment he came into contact with the sun, and after a few moments, Shu Qing's vision gradually became clear.
The air outside the prison was fresh and fragrant, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on her body, Shu Qing only felt as if she had regained her life.
She had been in the dungeon for so long that she had almost forgotten how to walk.
The official quickly brought the three of them to the lobby of the criminal department, and after a while, sure enough, an attendant came to announce the decree, Shu Qing and the others thanked the emperor, and then supported each other out of the criminal department.
Shu Zicheng had already been waiting at the door with the groom, and seeing Shu Qing walk out, Shu Zicheng hurriedly took the cloak made of snow fox fur and draped it on her body: "Ah Qing, you finally came out!" ”
"Daddy......" Shu Qing threw himself into Shu Zicheng's arms, and he was happy at this moment.
Shu Zicheng only hugged her tightly in his arms and murmured, "Let's go, Dad will take you home." ”
Shu Qing suppressed the tears swirling in his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home." ”
For Shu Qing, the only thing she has left at the moment is Shufu, and when she says she wants to go home at this time, she naturally wants to go back to Shufu.
Shu Zicheng instructed the two girls, Xuehuan and Xuepei: "Quickly help the young lady into the carriage." ”
"Yes." Xue Huan and Xue Pei replied in a low voice, supported Shu Qing one from one left to the other, and carefully lifted her into the carriage. Shu Qing's belly was already high at this time, and Rao is wide clothes could not hide her pregnancy, and the fetus in her womb seemed to feel her joy, and suddenly it was noisy again.
Shu Qing covered his high bulging lower abdomen, and couldn't help but open the curtain of the car again and glanced at the door of the criminal department. The child in the womb is connected to her by blood and heart, and so is Mo Wengu. Every time the child makes a fuss, she can't help but think of Mo Wengu.
The gate of the criminal department is magnificent and majestic, there are two stone lions erected in front of the door, and there is a guard standing on both sides, but there is no superfluous figure except for these guards.
Xuehuan sensed her distraction, and hurriedly followed her line of sight and looked out: "Niangniang, what are you looking at?" ”
"Nothing." Shu Qing shook his head and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
What was she thinking? At this point, she was still expecting Mo Wengu to come to the prison of the Criminal Department to greet her?
Shu Zicheng didn't notice her abnormality, but said carefully: "Xue Pei, put down the curtain, it's windy outside, don't let Miss catch a cold." ”
Xue Pei replied softly "yes", and immediately closed all the curtains on both sides, wrapping the whole carriage tightly and impermeable.
After Shu Qing sat down, the car sped away in the direction of Shu Mansion non-stop.
The car was running so fast that no one noticed that in the narrow alley on the side, there were two men standing side by side, two of them were of average size and appearance, one seemed to be a gorgeous peach blossom in the valley, and the other was like an elegant and white snow lotus.
These two people are Lin Ziyue and Mo Xian.
Mo Xian looked at the vehicle that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle with his hands: "It turns out that the beautiful woman that Brother Lin said is all for Miss Shu......"
If it weren't for the fact that when he happened to meet Lin Ziyue and Cui Rao toasting in Erli Pavilion when he was investigating Shu Qing's case, Mo Xian wouldn't know Lin Ziyue's good intentions.
Lin Ziyue smiled slightly, and raised her eyebrows lightly: "Isn't Mo Shizi the same?" ”
Mo Xian came to Kyoto to deal with it, Lin Ziyue thought it must be for the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, but he met Mo Xian in Erli Pavilion, so the two tacitly contributed to Shu Qing.
Mo Xian's long figure stood in the wind, and when he heard this, he just raised his eyebrows calmly: "If I remember correctly, today is King Qing's wedding day, as King Qing's old friend, shouldn't you go to the wedding?" ”
"I guess King Qing probably doesn't want to see me right now." Lin Ziyue smiled freely.
Mo Xian bowed his head, and the expression in his eyes was unfathomable: "If King Qing knew that you worked so hard to rescue Shu Qing, probably he would never want to see you again in this life." ”
Lin Ziyue laughed, and then opened the fan in his hand again: "Hey, it's just a hot intestine in the ancient way." Don't say it, although King Qing doesn't want to see him, Lin Mou will also go to meet him. ”
"Go ahead." Mo Xian agreed.
"Your Royal Highness, farewell." Lin Ziyue said, then turned around and walked briskly in the direction of King Qing's Mansion.
Mo Xian glanced at the delicate carriage again, turned over and stepped on the horse's back, and rode away from the gate of the Criminal Department.
The carriage continued to move forward, the carriage was covered with soft rabbit fur mats, and a light wisp of agarwood was burned, so comfortable that it was sleepy, but when passing through Suzaku Street, Shu Qing was awakened by the sound of drums blowing and beating outside the window.
She was about to open the curtains, but she only heard Shu Zicheng scolding at the groom a little nervously: "Didn't you say that you were asked to go around Suzaku Street?" Why did you end up on Suzaku Street again? Take a quick detour! ”
Shu Qing frowned, and vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Since returning to Shu Mansion from the prison of the Criminal Department, it is the nearest and most convenient road to walk from Suzaku Street, but Shu Zicheng wants the groom to detour, there must be something hidden in this......
