Xu Zhishen's words made everyone present gasp, and they exchanged glances like cicadas.

Xiao Xu's white face was already red under anxiety: "Impossible! Did Uncle Huang say that? ”

"Don't believe it, the lower officials came by order," Xu Zhishen sighed, "As a courtier, naturally what the Son of Heaven commands, let's do it, the emperor's holy judgment, there must be sufficient evidence to prove that the Chu family is the murderer, so he will order the lower officials to take people." ”

Xiao Xu's eyes were bloodshot, his fists tightened for a moment, and his jaw clenched into a tight arc.

Chu Junlan grabbed Xiao Xu's wrist, patted his cheek soothingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry." ”

A warm sound almost made Xiao Xu burst into tears, his eyes were already red, and he looked back at Chu Junlan and said, "Who is trying to harm you!" ”

Chu Junlan smiled, "There is a lot involved in this, I'm afraid that I am also an innocent victim, but the Qing is self-purifying, what I have not done, I believe that the emperor is sage, but I was just blinded for a while." ”

Chu Junlan was afraid that Xiao Xu and Xu Zhishen would have a head-on conflict, and it would not be a good reputation to reach the emperor's ears, so he turned to say: "Since Lord Xu is here by order, I will go with you." ”

Xu Zhishen was a little surprised that Chu Junlan would be so knowledgeable, and said, "The princess is a person who understands," turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation with one hand, "Let's go." ”

Chu Junlan turned around and saluted Prince Gong and Princess Zhang, and then took Xiao Xu's hand and shook it: "Don't panic, the clean person will clear himself, what I haven't done, I don't think the emperor will really wronged a good person."

Xiao Xu bit his lower lip tightly, then calmed down, and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely save you." ”

"I'm relieved." Chu Junlan smiled.

A cold wind blew, blowing out the lanterns in everyone's hands, and the light snow turned into heavy snow, fluttering like a flocculent.

Xiao Xu put on a hood for Chu Junlan and pursed his lips reluctantly.

Prince Gong was also very satisfied with Chu Junlan's calm performance, and turned to Xu Zhi with a deep face and said: "This king is a rough man, he has never known the heavens and the earth is thick, and there are many civil officials who slander this king behind his back. This is the king's word for today. ”

Xu Zhishen's heart was frightened by Prince Gong's cold eyes: "Lord Wang, please advise." ”

Prince Gong took a step forward, and the general's belly was almost on top of Xu Zhishen: "The Chu family is the daughter-in-law of this king, and she is now pregnant, if she and the child have a mistake, don't want the head on your cavity." ”

Xu Zhishen's heart was beating wildly, and he just wanted to stay away from this evil god, so he quickly nodded yes. turned to face Chu Junlan's attitude was much softer.

"Princess, please."

Chu Junlan bowed, saluted Prince Gong again, smiled at Xiao Xu comfortingly, and kept up with Xu Zhishen's footsteps this time.

Zi Yuan and Zi Yan anxiously caught up: "The princess! He turned around and knelt down for Prince Gong again, "Lord, please let the prince let the slave and maid follow the princess to serve, the princess is heavy, how can she do without a competent person around to serve her?" ”

Prince Gong stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Xu Zhishen's back as if he had fled into the wilderness and shook his head.

"I'm afraid I can't, the prisoners ordered by the emperor, can they still serve with maidservants by their side?"

Zi Yuan's face turned white, and she sat on the ground, looking up at Xiao Xu for help.

Zi Yan covered her mouth and whimpered and cried.

Princess Zhang's anxious brows furrowed: "How good is this, how is this good?" Cai's matter is strange at first glance, let's report that the people from the government haven't gone yet, how did the emperor get the news? This is clearly framed behind someone's back! ”

Prince Gong bowed his head, patted Princess Zhang's shoulder soothingly, turned around, and saw the lords and servants of the palace behind him through the heavy snow.

"It's all gone." Prince Gong waved his hand and ordered, "Today's matter is strange, people in the palace are not allowed to leave the palace at will in the near future, and if they want to go out, they must guarantee each other, and they will go out after registering." ”

"Yes." Everyone hesitated to salute and agree, obviously stunned by the current scene.

Xiao Xu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly turned around and ran wildly.

"Huh? Shizi! The people exclaimed.

Prince Gong was shocked, turned around and asked anxiously, "Xiao Xu, what are you going to do!" ”

Xiao Xu's footsteps didn't stop, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, leaving only a voice floating far away: "Enter the palace and face the saint!" ”

"Lord Wang, what can I do?" Princess Zhang was completely panicked, "Xiao Xu is a stubborn temper, if he runs to question the emperor in person and has a conflict, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" That's completely irreparable! ”

Prince Gong shook his head: "He shouldn't be so impulsive." ”

Princess Zhang wanted to speak for a long time, but she didn't say what was in her mouth, she knew that even if Xiao Xu was suspected of not being Prince Gong's species, but in the end it was Prince Gong's sister-in-law, born to Xu Moran that woman, even if she loved the house and Wu, Prince Gong had to be more pampered by Xiao Xu, and she was inexplicably confident in Xiao Xu's actions.

In the past, she could still use Princess Cai as a gunman, but now that Princess Cai died unexpectedly, she has no choice.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang." Mao Quan trotted all the way with a hot sweat, and when he saw that he didn't even breathe, he pointed to the direction behind him and said, "The Cai family, the people of the Cai family have found it!" ”

Prince Gong took a deep breath, Everything was expected, and he was not so surprised, so he only turned around and asked the other ladies to go back to their rooms to rest, and only took Princess Zhang to the front yard.

The oil wall car slowed down after shaking and bumping all the way, and as soon as Chu Junlan pushed the window and looked out, he met the eyes of the two messengers, and after looking around, Chu Junlan shook his head funny. More than twenty servants gathered around the carriage, as if they were afraid that she would run through the window.

If it was in the past, Mo said that there were only twenty people around, that is, twenty more people, as long as she wanted to escape, it was not that there was no way to escape, but now she didn't dare to take risks.

When she was first pregnant, because of the affairs of the Huai'an Palace, she was hurt after all, and Chu Junlan would never dare to risk the safety of her child and her own life now.

What's more, the matter has not yet been clarified, if she escapes now, won't she become a fear of crime and absconding? Chu Junlan simply sat back in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

To Chu Junlan's surprise, the oil wall car actually crossed the prefect's yamen in Huaijing and drove straight into the palace.

The Huaijing Imperial Palace has not yet been built, only a few of the palaces show the magnificent atmosphere that the palace should have, and the surrounding palaces are now in the semi-construction stage, which has been temporarily shelved due to the Chinese New Year and the cold weather.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of an unfinished palace, Xu Zhishen stepped forward with a smile, and ordered someone to push the car door, his attitude was much more polite than when he was in the palace.

"Princess, it's here, please get off the car."

Chu Junlan looked around suspiciously, the walls that had just been built had not yet been painted, showing a bit of rugged and dilapidated state, and the surrounding halls had only just raised a foundation, and the courtyard seemed extremely empty, and only the wings and the upside-down bungalows were completed at this time.

"Princess, this is Zhong Cui Palace, but this time has not yet been completed, the emperor has ordered, you are pregnant, it is not good for you to be wronged in the pickled place of the prison cell, so let you settle here for the time being, and wait for the emperor's orders at any time."

Chu Junlan bowed slightly, according to his habits for many years, his beautiful eyes were rounded, and he saw the surrounding scenery clearly. For such a courtyard with rough walls and no whitewash, and there were piles of building materials everywhere, it was easy for her to get out.

It's just that she has to estimate the child in her womb, and now she can't do what she wants.

Seeing that Chu Junlan was silent, Xu Zhishen didn't bother to delay any longer, so he led Chu Junlan to the door of a wing room.

The door was open, a basin of charcoal was burning inside, baskets of charcoal were placed in the corners, and the outer tank was filled with water.

The inner bed has been placed on two half-new dark blue futons.

Xu Zhishen smiled: "Don't dislike the princess, just stay here, I don't think you will live long." ”

If it was an ordinary woman, I was afraid that she would really be frightened by Xu Zhishen's malice, but Chu Junlan just smiled and said politely: "What Lord Xu said is reasonable, I am wronged, the emperor is clear, and he will naturally let me out after finding out the situation." ”

Xu Zhishen saw that she was not afraid at all, so she was bored, glanced at Chu Junlan with cold eyes, and said secretly: A woman who has someone to support her naturally dares to be tough.

Thinking of Prince Gong's appearance, Xu Zhishen took his thoughts, turned around and instructed the palace guards who were just dispatched: "Guard this place strictly." What is locked up here is an important felon, if you escape, the emperor will ask us and none of us can afford to be guilty! ”

"Yes!" The guards answered in unison, and assigned patrol tasks outside the Zhongcui Palace, which had not yet been fully completed.

Xu Zhishen turned his head and glanced at Chu Junlan again, the contempt in his eyes could not be hidden, he chuckled, and walked super quickly in the direction of Emperor Jinghong's Heart Cultivation Palace.

Chu Junlan frowned slightly, and he couldn't tell whether the current situation was good or bad for a while, but Emperor Jing Hong didn't even interrogate her in this case, so he convicted her so rashly, which really made people panic.

Chu Junlan knew that Emperor Jinghong had planned to make a move on Prince Gong's mansion, but he didn't expect that this time Emperor Jinghong's breakthrough point turned out to be himself.

The days here are exceptionally quiet, Zhong Cui Palace has not yet been built, naturally there are few people who come to visit the door, not to mention her current situation, no one dares to make do with her.

Fortunately, although Emperor Jinghong locked her up here and colded her, he didn't plan to starve her to death, and there were special little eunuchs to deliver meals for three meals a day. In addition, when she heard that Princess Cai had an accident, she rushed to save people, and she still carried a lot of things with her, but Princess Cai didn't use it, but now it became her use.
