The second prince heard the voice of the comer, and collapsed on the ground with a bloodless face.

"Father!" The sound is as small as that of a mosquito, almost murmuring.

"Concubine Lu asks for peace for the emperor and for the third prince."

Lu Qiaohui saw the emperor and the third prince in civilian clothes, kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner, but behaved extremely calmly.

The emperor ignored Lu Qiaohui and entered the house accompanied by the guards. The third prince in a wheelchair followed, and the second prince who was under control was stationed at the door.

The emperor crossed the two and came to the middle of the room, and someone had already moved a chair and placed it behind the emperor.

The emperor sat down, stared at the second prince, and spoke with a solemn expression for a long time.

"Second brother, I just let you go a few days ago in the face of Mrs. Rong, and you want to get rid of me when you turn around?"

"Father, the son knows his mistake, the son is instigated, the father will forgive the son once."

The second prince didn't know how long the emperor stayed at the door, and he didn't know how much the emperor listened, but he knew that confession was not suitable for this occasion, so the second prince blushed and quibbled.

"Instigated? I want to know who is so bold as to instigate the prince to rebel! ”

The emperor's face was cold, and he had already heard the conversation between the second prince and Lu Qiaohui in the next room clearly.

The second prince raised his head in a panic and swept around the room, his eyes fell on Lu Qiaohui, who was closest to him, and the second prince suddenly pointed at Lu Qiaohui and shouted:

"It's her, it's Lu. It was she who got the news that someone was going to rebel and tricked Erchen into meeting here. As soon as they met, she persuaded her sons to control the king of Yunnan and let the king of Yunnan help her rebel and take the throne. Father, the son didn't have this idea, she kept encouraging me......"

"Second Prince...... You...... You talk nonsense. You wrote to me to come here. How can I persuade you to rebel? ”

Lu Qiaohui didn't expect the second prince to bite back, so she was so anxious that she couldn't care about her identity, so she directly interrupted him and defended herself.

"Second brother wrote to you? What about faith? ”

The third prince glanced at Lu Qiaohui and asked.

Letter? Lu Qiaohui sweated on her head.

"Letter...... The second prince said in the letter that he would burn it after reading it. So...... So the letter was burned, and the concubine was burned. ”

"Is that a statement unfounded?"

The third prince said this leisurely.

"Three ......" Lu Qiaohui was so anxious that she just wanted to reason with him, but the emperor interrupted her.

"Shut up. Second, let me ask you. Lu's woman, how can she move you? The emperor stared at him to see how he quibbled.

The second prince lowered his head, and his eyes rolled in his sockets.

"Yes...... It was she who said that the emperor no longer trusts her sons, and she is now imprisoned, and she will find an opportunity to demote her sons to concubines like the fourth brother in the future. The Lu family and Princess Ning are at odds and have always wanted to replace them. She said that after the matter was completed, she asked her son to abolish Prince Ning, grant her the position of princess, and send Prince Ning and Princess Ning to the frontier and never leave. ”

"Second prince, you are reversing right and wrong......"

Lu Qiaohui didn't expect that the second prince would confess her as a scapegoat so soon. Angry, she clutched her chest, and she couldn't wait to rush up and tear the second prince with her hands.

"Also, father, this Lu family is Lu Qiaohui, who was married to Yao Junnan by her father, she promised Mama Jiang benefits during the physical examination, and Mama Jiang made a false confession for money. Father, this daughter / is sinister and cunning, her words must not be trusted. ”

The second prince caught Lu Qiaohui and kept pouring dirty water on her, he didn't believe that he was the prince, and the emperor would believe that Lu Qiaohui didn't believe him.

After listening to the argument between the two of them, the emperor didn't say much, he got up and ordered the guards in disappointment: "Send the two of them to Dali Temple." ”

As soon as the second prince heard that he was going to take him to Dali Temple, he went crazy directly: "Father, you can't do this to your son, your son is your son, you are the prince, you can't not believe in your son but believe in a woman who deceives the king." ”

"Second brother, if you are innocent, Dali Temple will definitely return your innocence."

"Third Prince, you want to ......"

Lu Qiaohui was also stunned, she didn't want to enter Dali Temple like this. But she didn't dare to disobey the emperor, so she had to whisper to the third prince for help.

The third prince stopped her words expressionlessly, and hinted at her faintly: "Lu Clan, if you are not Lu Qiaohui, there is no need to be afraid. ”

As he spoke, the emperor was already impatiently raising his ass and leaving. The third prince secretly glanced at Lu Qiaohui and motioned for his entourage to follow the emperor.

The second prince and Lu Qiaohui were forcibly escorted into the car by the guards and sent to Dali Temple to be held in men's and women's cells respectively.

……

The cells of Dali Temple are perennially dark and damp, mixed with a disgusting smell.

Lu Qiaohui only wore a jacket, which was acceptable in a house with a earth dragon and a charcoal stove. But in this cold prison without any heating equipment, it was freezing through, and Lu Qiaohui sat on the wet ground, holding her legs and shivering.

Lu Qiaohui buried her head in her knees, thinking about how to ask someone to deliver a letter to Shi Tianyi, when she remembered the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and two female jailers came from outside.

When they came to Lu Qiaohui's cell, one of them unlocked the door, and when the other came in, he directly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qiaohui from the ground roughly.

"What are you doing? I'm the concubine of the king of Yunnan County, I didn't commit a crime, and someone will come to take me out soon, you treat me like this, be careful that you don't die well after I go out......"

Lu Qiaohui was picked up by the female jailer like a chicken, and the pain in her arm made her scream.

"Yo, my mouth is quite hard. Let me tell you, as long as you enter here, there are few who can get out with all the beards and tails. You should save your strength and pray that you will live a few more days. ”

A female jailer with five big and three thick slammed Lu Qiaohui to the door, Lu Qiaohui's feet couldn't keep up with the speed, staggered a few steps outside the door, and fell directly to the ground to rob.

Lu Qiaohui only felt a tingling pain on her face, and struggled to raise her head, at this time, the skin on her forehead and nose had been worn out by the rough ground, and the blood flowed out faster.

"You ...... How dare you do this to me? You, you wait, wait for me to go out, and kill you alive......" Lu Qiaohui scolded loudly in anger.

As if they hadn't heard, the two female jailers walked to Lu Qiaohui's side, grabbed one of Lu Qiaohui's arms, and left directly.

Lu Qiaohui was vigorously pulled by them, there was no way to walk on her own, her legs were dragged to the ground, and they were pulled into a small room at the end of the cell.

Inside the house, two elderly grandmothers were waiting there. The female jailer entered the door and smiled politely at the two grandmothers:

"Mama. People brought. ”

One of the thin-faced grandmothers nodded, and her eyes scraped over Lu Qiaohui's body.

The jacket on Lu Qiaohui's body was stained with stains, and the placket was torn wide. His hair was messy and he had a few blood marks on his face. One foot is bare, and one embroidered shoe is missing.

"Lu, the emperor has decreed that your identity will be re-identified. You'd better cooperate obediently, so that you don't have to suffer a little. ”

The words of the thin-faced grandmother made Lu Qiaohui's heart bloom.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, she sat down proudly on the only bench in the room. She raised her eyes to look at the two grandmothers and took out the princess's style.

"Come for a medical check-up? All right. This princess is not afraid of your physical examination, but she is afraid that you will not be examined. ”

Saying that, Lu Qiaohui began to unfasten her clothes unhurriedly, and the two grandmothers waved away the jailer and closed the door......

A quarter of an hour later, the door opened, and the jailer was called in.

"The old body has experienced, take her back."

The fat-faced grandmother washed her hands in the copper basin on the side and commanded.

"Mama, is she real or fake?" The jailer also heard about Lu Qiaohui's fake death and pretended to be Lu's family, and asked curiously.

"You just have to keep a close watch, don't ask anything else."

The grandmothers were all old people from the palace, and although the jailer didn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't dare to offend, and the two dragged Lu Qiaohui back to the cell one after another.

This time, Lu Qiaohui's only remaining shoe was also missing.

"You wait, the first thing I do when I go out is to cut you with a thousand knives." Lu Qiaohui pinched her cold feet and scolded fiercely.

The jailer scoffed, "Okay, we'll wait for the day you get out." ”

At night, the temperature dropped, and Lu Qiaohui was hungry and cold and couldn't sleep at all. She thought back to the scene she was asked to see by the third prince yesterday......

When the third prince saw her, he went straight to the point: "Qiao Hui, I know it's you." ”

Lu Qiaohui was shocked by the words of the third prince and broke out in a cold sweat, she just wanted to defend herself, and the third prince then told all the contents of the secret meeting and discussion between her and the second prince. Finally, the third prince took out a pill and handed it to her:

"I know that you are too wronged to marry Yao Junnan. The choice of Yunnan Junwang is also understandable. Since the second brother is threatening you with this matter, I can't sit idly by. This pill is my collection and removes all scarring birthmarks from my body. You can use it. ”

The heartfelt words of the third prince made Lu Qiaohui burst into tears, she took the pill and was speechless with excitement. If she can use this medicine to get rid of the birthmark on her leg, who else is she afraid of?

"Qiao Hui, the second brother has turned against him, for the sake of Da Ming and the people, are you willing to cooperate with me to expose the second brother's crimes?"

Except for the second prince? Lu Qiaohui agreed without much hesitation.

So, on the second day, under the arrangement of the third prince, the emperor hid in the next room, and Lu Qiaohui also pretended to promise the second prince, and tricked him into saying many things that he shouldn't say.

medicine, Lu Qiaohui secretly ate it after returning to the palace of Yunnan County.

When she took a bath at night, she carefully checked her body, and the birthmark that had been criticized by others really disappeared, and Lu Qiaohui was in a good mood to fly.

Without the birthmark, Lu Qiaohui was full of confidence when her grandmother checked her body again, and she was sure that it would not be long before she could leave this dark cage.

……

It was late at night, and Lu Qiaohui finally couldn't get through it, so she curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard in the hallway again, and they were getting closer and closer to her cell.

Lu Qiaohui, who was awakened by the sound of footsteps, climbed to the door excitedly, leaning on the railing and looking in the direction of the visitor.

She felt like she was going out, she was about to leave this dark cage. The footsteps grew closer and closer, until several officers and soldiers appeared in front of the door with an adult in their arms.

Lu Qiaohui retreated to the inner wall and stood still, although she was very sure, she was still a little nervous.

The jailer carefully opened the door and stood by it. I saw the adult standing still at the door, looking at Lu Qiaohui and asking with full authority: "Are you the concubine Lu of Yunnan County?" ”

Lu Qiaohui raised her eyes to look at him, but she was just a five-grade petty official, and she replied disdainfully: "This princess is the Lu family." ”

Yes, the adult cleared his throat and preached: "Lu listens to the order!" ”

Lu Qiaohui was overjoyed: This is to let her out. Lu Qiaohui tidied up her clothes and knelt down upright.
