Chapter 31. Don't call him brother
On the second day, Almond was about to go to serve His Majesty to wash, but found that there was no one in the dormitory.
She asked the eunuch on duty, only to know that Sheng Jingyu went to the imperial study early in the morning.
Almond hurriedly followed, raising her hand to knock on the door, but the door was pushed open from the inside.
"Almond, good morning."
It's Fu Jungu, he still wears the same white clothes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a warm spring breeze.
Almond also smiled and saluted: "I've seen the Prime Minister." ”
Fu Jungu rubbed her head, and her voice was as warm as jade.
"Don't be so rusty, just call me a gentleman."
Jungu? Your Majesty dares to call him that, right?
Almond hurriedly shook his head, "No, how can I call the Prime Minister like that." ”
Fu Jungu groaned: "Then call my brother the head office, right?" ”
Brother? This...... This is even more disrespectful!
Where did Almond dare to speak, but Fu Jungu kept blocking the door, and she wouldn't let her in if she didn't shout at this posture.
Almond was helpless, and shouted tentatively: "Brother Jun Gu......?" ”
The voice is delicate, and the words are warm and sweet.
Fu Jun's heart was crisp, and his palms were about to move, wanting to pinch her cheeks.
"Brother Jun Gu?"
The person in front of him didn't move for a while, and Almond shouted again.
As a result, Fu Jungu didn't respond, but a voice came from the study.
"Who's your brother?"
The voice was cold and majestic, like Ling Ling's cold winter.
"Excuse me, sir!"
Almond was stunned, raised Fu Jungu's arm and got in.
Sheng Jingyu sat behind the desk and saw her come in, with a dark face.
Almond hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of having a relationship with the Prime Minister. ”
Fu Jungu, who was about to leave at the door, was stunned for a moment, climbing the relationship?
So, his overtures are just a relationship in her eyes?
Well, she would know one day what he wanted.
Fu Jungu smiled and shook his head, no longer lingering.
Almond in the study looked at Sheng Jingyu, who looked unkind, and felt a little apprehensive.
As a result, Sheng Jingyu only silently finished the recital of his subordinates, and then got up and walked past her out of the study.
What to do? His Majesty ignored her, as if he was really angry.
Almond hesitated, but followed.
"Your Majesty, I know that I am humble, how can I be called a brother and sister to the Prime Minister. I will never do this again, just forgive me. ”
Sheng Jingyu stopped and looked at her.
She didn't understand, it wasn't what he cared about, but he couldn't say it.
After a long time, he sighed lightly, "Don't call him brother in the future." ”
And shouted so beautifully.
Almond nodded repeatedly.
"The slave knows."
Sheng Jingyu was satisfied, and then continued to walk forward, followed by almonds.
The location of this trip may be a little far, and Sheng Jingyu went by dragon.
Almond followed the sedan chair, and it took small steps to catch up with the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair.
Maybe Sheng Jingyu couldn't stand it anymore, and Almond heard the sound of the dragon.
"Stop, come up."
The eunuchs put down the sedan chair for some reason, but the almonds didn't dare to move.
That's a dragon, how dare she sit?
In broad daylight, so many pairs of eyes watched, if she sat down, it would not immediately spread throughout the entire palace.
"Come up."
waited until Sheng Jingyu spoke for the second time, and then she got into the sedan chair slowly.
After walking all the way, the surrounding environment is very unfamiliar, and it is a direction that almonds have never come.
Almond looked curiously left and right, only to see that the scenery was becoming more and more majestic, and finally stopped in a heavily guarded place.
"Where is this?"
Sheng Jingyu took the lead in getting off the sedan chair, "Heavenly prison." ”
Prison? She knew that there was a prison in the capital, called a dungeon, where the most vicious criminals were kept.
The Heavenly Prison is a prison directly under the control of the imperial court, and it is also a prison for some big people who have committed crimes, or people who are involved in the secrets of the court.
Almond was taken aback, and hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and followed behind Sheng Jingyu.
It was dark in the prison, except for the dim light of the oil lamps.
When the jailer saw Sheng Jingyu, he hurriedly bowed, and then led the way ahead.
It's colder inside than outside, and there's an indescribable gloom when walking down the deserted aisle.
The prison doors on both sides of the road were quiet, and Almond looked curiously, only to see that the criminals inside were basically lying or lying on the ground.
They were covered in blood, and their dirty undershirts never seemed to have been changed.
Almond felt a chill in his heart and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and the jailer leading the way in front of him also stopped.
In the cell in front of them was a torture rack, and a man was tied to it.
His limbs were chained, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to faint.
There was a table in the corner, where two jailers were sitting, chatting.
"This man is really hard-mouthed and refuses to say anything."
"Who said it wasn't, the torture still tired me."
"Within two days, let him confess, I'm afraid it will hang."
"Yes, we still have to control the torture, we can't let him die, it's really difficult."
"I'll be on duty with Lao Wang soon, let's see if they can say something."
As the two spoke, they got up and prepared to walk out the door, but when they looked up, they saw a bright yellow figure.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”
The two were stunned for a moment before they recognized the person and knelt down in a hurry.
Sheng Jingyu raised his hand casually, "Get up." ”
The two stood aside respectfully, and Sheng Jingyu walked to the torture rack.
Almond followed him, glanced at the miserable situation of the person in front of him, smelled the blood, and couldn't help but feel a little sick.
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her. Almonds saw disgust in it.
Before she had time to be wronged, she saw him hand her a handkerchief.
"Hold on."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sure enough, His Majesty is cold-faced and hot-hearted, disliking her on the surface, but actually caring about her.
The man on the torture rack had not yet woken up, and the jailer knew that the emperor was going to interrogate the prisoner, so he woke him up with a handful of water.
The man woke up slowly, and before he could open his eyes, he showed a disdainful smile.
"That's all you guys do? It's not enough to tickle you! ”
His tone was tired and weak, but his words were extremely arrogant.
Sure enough, the two jailers were enraged at once, picked up their whips and slapped him.
The force of this blow was so fierce that it hit his wound that had not yet healed, and it was even more fleshy.
The jailer was about to hit a second time, but was stopped by Sheng Jingyu.
"It's really useless to use these tricks on you, but what if you change it to your sister?"
The smile on the man's face froze for a moment, and then he opened his eyes violently.
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he said angrily:
"Dog Emperor! You are not allowed to touch my sister! ”
Sheng Jingyu's face turned cold, "If you cooperate well, then your sister will be fine." If not, you know what will happen to you. ”
The man was silent, hanging his head and not speaking.
Sheng Jingyu waited patiently, and after a while, the man asked, "What do you want to know?" ”
"Who is your master? Who instructed you to assassinate me? ”
