"But mother, no......"

Lu Yiming was still kneeling on the ground, tears kept flowing, he was very scared: "The second prince is a madman!" He even dared to fight His Royal Highness the Third Prince! If his son goes out, he will definitely be beaten to death! ”

"He didn't dare!"

Mrs. Lu shouted.

The poignancy and pain in his voice suddenly startled Lu Yiming, he suddenly forgot to cry, forgot to tremble, and looked at his mother blankly, as if he didn't know her.

Mrs. Lu has been married to the Lu family for decades, and she has never loudly reprimanded a subordinate, let alone her son, this is the first time.

After shouting, she herself was stunned.

Soon, however, normalcy returned.

"Ming'er, you listen to your mother, do what your mother says, this time not only can you reverse the disadvantage of divorce in one fell swoop, but also let everyone in Beijing take a look, your talent, your ambition!"

Mrs. Lu held his hand and said earnestly: "The second prince is fierce and domineering, beating people on the street, although Your Majesty lifts his grounding, he may not care about this matter, if he does it again, Your Majesty will definitely not allow him!" ”

"Yes...... Really? Lu Yiming stammered and asked.

"Yes! You believe in mothers! Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with a cluster of crazy flames, and she said eloquently: "If the second prince dares to do it, Your Majesty will definitely settle the new and old accounts together!" Our family has also made a new contribution to the three princes......"

"Mother? What if His Royal Highness the Second Prince beats him to death? ”

Lu Yiming looked at her and said sadly: "For the sake of the rise and fall of our family, don't you care about your son's life at all?" ”

"It's because I care about your life that my mother wants to take you out!"

Mrs. Lu was anxious: "Wait, if you escape from the mansion, you will definitely meet the people of the second prince, and they will beat you to death in the street!" In front of his father, he must have some scruples! ”

"Then I won't go out......"

"He'll rush in!"

Lu Yiming was speechless for a moment, looking at her mother's tense face, she suddenly felt desperate and dazed in her heart.

In an instant, I felt that the world was big, and there was no place for him in the world.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Lu Yiming said dejectedly: "Mother, you go outside and wait first, and my son will change his clothes." ”

"That's a good boy." Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't be afraid, if the second prince wants to kill you, you have to pass the level of your father and mother first!" ”

"I see." Lu Yiming nodded.

Mrs. Lu turned around and went out with confidence and waited outside.

Lu Yiming looked at her figure standing under the porch outside, the dazedness in his eyes quickly turned into indifference, he turned around, called his personal servant Lu Sheng in, handed him the personal jade pendant, and lowered his voice and said: "You wait and leave the house from the back door as soon as possible, go to the Three Princes' Mansion, take this token, and ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to save me!" ”

"Lord Shizi, this ......"

"Go!" Lu Yiming's eyes immediately showed a hint of anger, and he grabbed his collar: "Are you planning to betray me!" ”

Lu Sheng looked at his somewhat distorted face, and felt extremely frightened in his heart, so he hurriedly took the jade pendant and said, "Don't worry, the little one will go to the Three Princes' Mansion!" ”

Lu Yiming let go of his hand with satisfaction.

Lu Sheng nodded at him and trotted away.

Lu Yiming watched his back disappear into the outer room, with a hint of madness on his face.

Rong Chen, Rong Chen, this time you sent it yourself!

snatched Shen Nianzhen not to mention, he actually dared to knock on the door! You are not afraid of the emperor's blame, okay, then call the third prince too! If you even dare to beat him, see how the emperor still protects you!

Thinking of the smugness, he couldn't help but laugh out loud anymore.

"Naruto! What happened to you? Mrs. Lu heard a voice outside and couldn't help asking.

Lu Yiming hurriedly put away the agitation on his face, and tried to make a calm look and replied, "It's okay, I'll change it right away." ”

As he spoke, he took out his new robe and slowly changed into it.

"Ming'er, okay?" Time passed little by little, and Mrs. Lu couldn't help but urge at the door.

The words fell, and with a creak, the door opened.

Lu Yiming appeared at the door wearing a brand-new moon-white brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, wearing a jade crown on his head, and his face was calm.

"Good! This is my good son! Mrs. Lu burst into tears, and said with a face full of relief: "If you will always be like this, how good it would be!" ”

Lu Yiming pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and slowly spoke: "Mother, can we leave now?" ”

"Good! Let's go meet the second prince! Mrs. Lu nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, changed her expression to death, and led her son to the front gate.

It was almost noon, the sun was blazing overhead, there was no shelter in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and the people couldn't stand it, so they all hid in the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street.

Rong Chen turned over and dismounted, let people build a pergola, and sat in the shed by himself, with ice bowls, tea, and snacks in front of him, which was very comfortable.

Behind him, the black pressed hundreds of entourage guards, like black clouds.

Zhenbei Hou Lu Yi was standing outside the pavilion, the sweat on his hot forehead was pouring out layer by layer, and he was dizzy.

With a bang, the gate of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion was pushed open from the inside, and Lu Yiming walked out of it accompanied by Mrs. Lu.

When Lu Yiming first came out, he still had the majesty of a child of a family, but as soon as he saw Rong Chen's golden knife sitting in front of the mansion, his arrogance suddenly disappeared.

The whole person was at a loss, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

When will the three princes come, they must hold on......

"Second Highness, the dog has been brought." When Zhenbei Hou saw his son, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face.

Rong Chen casually put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Lu Yiming.

He didn't speak, and the south wind behind him brushed out a bright yellow holy decree, stepped forward and shouted: "The emperor has a decree!" Please listen to the order of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei! ”

Divine decree?

It was actually a reading of the holy decree?!

Zhenbei Hou and his wife were taken aback, and even Lu Yiming opened his mouth in shock, unable to say a word.

Didn't you come to beat him? Didn't you come to beat people in the street? Why...... How did it turn out?

His expression was comical.

"Lu Shizi, don't kneel when you see the holy decree, you despise the imperial power!"

Rong Chen glanced at Lu Yiming contemptuously, and said coldly: "Father-in-law Gao, after you go back to this matter, you have to report to your father truthfully." ”

"There is no need for His Royal Highness to remind you, the old slave understands." A laughing voice came from behind Rong Chen.

The Marquis of Zhenbei sounded very familiar, and he couldn't help but raise his head, only to see that the great eunuch Zhang Deshan beside the emperor was actually there!

And he didn't even notice it just now!

"Get on your knees!" Zhenbei Hou was startled, and when he turned around, he saw his son standing there upright, and he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly dragged the person to kneel.

Until this time, Lu Yiming was still confused in his mind.

He really couldn't have imagined that things would turn out like this.

Rong Chen...... How did you get the Divine Decree? Didn't he just return to Beijing?

Just when everyone was shocked, Rong Chen glanced at Nanfeng, and Nanfeng immediately spoke.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Zhenbei Marquis Lu Yi embezzled public funds, embezzled and accepted bribes, connived at the clansmen to occupy other people's land and property in Jiangzhou territory, and beat people's lives.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

The surrounding people suddenly whispered: "I really didn't expect it!" This town Beihou Mansion is corrupt and has done so many bad things! ”

"Yes! He also connived at his relatives to kill people, which is really cruel......"

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not here to beat people today......"

In the midst of the discussions, a different voice was suddenly mixed in.

Nanfeng listened, and almost didn't grin.

Is it true that the master of his family doesn't have a long memory? I've already suffered a loss, and of course I won't do anything like that again!

"Your Highness! The old minister is wronged! ”

Zhenbei Marquis Lu Yi's face was full of shock, he looked at the soldiers who rushed up to arrest him in disbelief, and said loudly: "The old minister wants to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Father doesn't want to see you at this time." Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a sarcastic smile.

Mrs. Lu stood aside, already frightened and about to faint.

There were guards to detain Lu Yiming, but he stood there in a daze and did not react, when the cold iron chain locked his wrist, Lu Yiming struggled violently: "You let go of me!" ”

The strength was so great that he almost threw the guards away.

"Second prince! You are communiquéing personal vendetta! Lu Yiming used all his strength and shouted loudly.

Rong Chen's eyes swept over coldly, and he hooked the corners of his mouth indifferently: "Lu Shizi, this palace is just a business, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to Your Majesty to appeal, this palace is waiting for you at any time, take it away!" ”

"Second prince! You're so vicious......"

Lu Yiming's young face was full of resentment, and he was slightly hideous.

When Rong Chen saw it, he just sneered.

The dog of the loser, just bluffing.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lu Yi, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and Lu Yiming, the son of the world, were put on chains and escorted away.

Lu Yiming was unwilling, and frequently looked back when he was escorted away.

But until he was taken away by the forbidden army, he didn't see the people of the three princes, and even his little servant Lu Sheng was gone.

The rest of the Lu family was placed under house arrest. Mrs. Lu almost fainted from crying, but there was nothing she could do, and she was finally helped in by her subordinates.

Rong Chen slowly put down the teacup, stood up in a chic manner, turned over and walked away.

The onlookers ate such a shocking melon, and they were a little unsatisfied, and it took a long time to disperse.

……

Late at night, the prison of the criminal department.

Rong Chen was dressed in civilian clothes, accompanied by Nanfeng, and quietly walked through the torture chamber, all the way to the deepest part of Zhao Prison.

The darkness around is boundless, no one knows how many devils or unjustly killed people are hidden in the darkness, and the rows of burning oil lamps in the corridor emit a faint light in the darkness.

Rong Chen walked step by step towards the deepest part of the dungeon.

As he got closer, a low, unwilling murmur came into his ears.

“…… Your Highness, I have done so many things for you, you must save me......"

Rong Chen stopped in front of the cell where the voice came from.

The jailer stepped forward, personally opened the cell door, and respectfully retreated.

The scene inside the cell came into view.

Lu Yiming, who was still in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion before, was drunk and dreamed of death, and was now dressed in white prison clothes, sitting cross-legged on a large mass of dirty straw, unkempt, like a madman.

"When he came in, he didn't obey the restraints and was taught a lesson by the jailers......" Nanfeng said in a low voice.

Rong Chen's face was expressionless, looking condescendingly at the inside of the cell, the oil lamp on the wall illuminated his snow-white face, and his narrow eyes were as black as ink.

Lu Yiming's body shook when he heard the voice.

Then he slowly raised his head.

When he saw clearly that it was Rong Chen standing outside the cell, he immediately jumped up from the ground excitedly, and scolded angrily: "Rong Chen! You framed me! You are the one who framed me so far! How do you still have a face! ”

"It's too noisy."

Rong Chen frowned and said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Nanfeng had already rushed forward, grabbed Lu Yiming, and slapped him seven or eight times in a row with a crackling face, which made the corners of his mouth bleed and his face swollen.

After the fight, he let go of his hand, and Lu Yiming suddenly fell to the ground like a dead dog, panting in his mouth, but in those eyes, there was a strong hatred that could not be dissolved.

"Why? Second Highness, our Lu family is dedicated to assisting you, but you stabbed you in the back......" Lu Yiming muttered, he really couldn't figure it out, obviously Rong Chen trusted him very much before, but after that day's birthday banquet, he was suddenly indifferent to him.

I don't know what the reason is, but this situation has become between the two people.

"Can't figure it out?" Rong Chen looked at him with a sneer: "Didn't the master behind you punish you severely because of your unfavorable behavior during this time?" ”

Lu Yiming was taken aback.

A heart couldn't help but be nervous, could it be that Rong Chen knew about his defection to the third prince? No! No way! He had never shown his feet, and Rong Chen couldn't have known......

How to explain Rong Chen's sudden attack on the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?

Even if those things were really done by his father, Rong Chen also received benefits? Why......

"The person who made a move to invalidate your marriage contract with Zhao Shilang is not this palace." Rong Chen looked at him and said condescendingly: "This palace has been busy collecting evidence of your father and son's corruption during this time, but I don't have time to care about other things. ”

"Impossible! It's not you, who else! Lu Yiming suddenly became excited when he heard this, struggled to sit up, wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Second Highness!" You have already snatched Miss Shen from me, so why bother to ruin my marriage? I went to find Miss Shen, and I just wanted her to intercede for me......"

Before he finished speaking, Rong Chen's face changed suddenly.

He stood up and stepped on Lu Yiming's chest, with a little force, Lu Yiming died in pain, rolling his eyes.

"Did this palace tell you! Don't get close to Shen Nianzhen again! ”

Rong Chen stared at him and said word by word: "Lu Yiming, you have today's disaster, all because you despise this palace!" Do you still dare to go to Nian Zhen? Stopping a car on the street? If this palace doesn't beat you, it's not Rongchen! ”

When the words fell, his fist fell on Lu Yiming like raindrops, and he cried wolf howls straight to him, almost fainting without pain.

Rong Chen vented the anger in his heart fiercely, and did not stop until Lu Yiming had only one breath left.

Hanging his hand to that station, there was a young noble son with a clear breeze and a bright moon, like a jade tree.

Lu Yiming couldn't say a word anymore, and there was only one feeling in his body: pain. Lying there, like a dead fish.

"Hopefully, this time, you'll remember that lesson." Rong Chen looked at him condescendingly and said, "If you are unruly, this palace has a way to beat you." ”

“…… Capable ...... You beat me to death......"

Lu Yiming tried all his strength, intermittently said, even though he almost fainted, his eyes were fixed on Rong Chen.

"Huh." Rong Chen suddenly laughed when he heard this.

"I'm afraid you don't know that this time the land enclosure case of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei also implicated the third prince of the dynasty, that is, the third brother of the palace, at this time, the third brother is only afraid that he is thinking of a way to put all the blame on the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei and clean him up, I am afraid that he will not have time to visit you."

"When your family's case is confirmed, you don't need to do it in this palace, Your Majesty will kill you, and this palace just needs to watch the show."

After saying this, he admired Lu Yiming's shocked and angry expression, turned around and left with Nanfeng.

In the prison, Lu Yiming was extremely shocked and did not move for a long time.

……

Chunhui Temple.

Under the leadership of her grandmother, Shen Nianzhen learned to make tea, and the room was full of all kinds of tea sets, which looked like they had their own styles and were very interesting.

Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan's sisters accompanied them on one side, and several people chattered so lively.

"Sister Shen, it's March 3 in a few days, will you go to Wangjiang Tower? This is the most famous festival in Kyoto! ”

Liao Yulan asked excitedly.

"I don't know, it depends on whether my grandmother agrees or not." Shen Nianzhen replied with a smile.

"Oh." Liao Kanglan was a little disappointed when she heard this.

Mrs. Shen sat on the arhat bed with a pineapple flower face carved with a picture of a hundred sons and birthday stars, chatting with Mrs. Liao with a smile, and from time to time raised her eyes to the girls who got along well on the opposite side of the flower hall.

"Look, these two girls in your family are gentle and dignified, in the future, I don't know which family is blessed to marry!" Old Lady Shen said with a smile.

When Mrs. Liao heard this, she followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at Liao Yulan, who was standing beside Shen Nianzhen to help her hand the tea bowl, so she smiled slightly: "We haven't decided on a marriage yet, our family is not a famous family, all we want is character." ”

"You're humble again, aren't you?"

Old Lady Shen said with a smile: "I heard that not long ago, the head of the Zhu family in Qiyang came to the door to ask to marry the four girls of your family, what kind of family is the Zhu family?" The hairpin family of hundreds of years is rich in heritage, and the children of the clan have a very strict set of rules and regulations when they marry daughters-in-law. ”

"It's because there are too many rules, I don't want the four girls to marry and suffer." Mrs. Liao said: "I just want to find someone in Beijing, who knows the roots, and who is a boy with decent character, and then I will be content." ”
