Chapter 257: Put to death
The dim light of a lantern is also a bright light source in this dark cell. As the other party approached, the brighter the light became, Chu Junlan's eyes, who were accustomed to darkness, couldn't help but squint, raised his hand to cover it, and the shackles made a crisp sound.
"Third Miss!"
Jingyu put down the lantern and threw herself in front of the cage, holding the wooden fence with both hands, and when she saw the environment in the cell, her eyes were red.
Is this a human environment? The corner of the gong bucket was full of filth, Chu Junlan was sitting on a pile of dirty and moldy straw, and there was a huge mouse "whooshing" across the ground. Shi Ziye is a person who is cherished as a treasure, but now he is abandoned in such an environment! If the prince sees it, I'm afraid he won't collapse in distress?
"Jingyu? How are you? Chu Junlan got up and walked slowly to Jingyu.
"Third Miss, you just had an accident here, and the prince was called to the palace by the emperor immediately after, and before going out, he ordered the little one to investigate. Who knew that as soon as I found out a clue here, someone came to the palace to pack up the clothes and commonly used things for the prince, saying that the emperor left the prince to live in the palace and accompany the princes to study, and was not allowed to come out. ”
Jingyu's voice was fast and urgent, sending a buzzing echo through the cell.
Chu Junlan lowered his long eyelashes, and after a little contemplation, he already understood.
"Does Ge Ge Lao have such a great ability? can put pressure on the emperor. ”
Jing Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with admiration in her eyes: "Third Miss, you are too powerful, I haven't said what's going on, how do you know?" ”
"It's very simple, the emperor called the prince into the palace to accompany the prince, obviously because he didn't want him to participate in this matter. The emperor's attitude probably represents the attitude of the royal family, and if the emperor can express his position, Ge Ge Lao must have done something. ”
"You're really a female Zhuge , aren't you! Ge Ge Lao was shameless, and took the whole family to the palace to find the emperor and cried, making the palace restless, and saying that if the emperor did not call the shots, he would be killed under the imperial steps.
"The most important thing is that he doesn't know when to move, and he spread the word about it outside, and now the public opinion outside is very unfavorable to you, and there are many people who don't know why are affected by the rumors. Say that you are a murderous female devil, and that women are jealous of you like this......"
Jingyu's voice stopped abruptly, coughed and turned to say: "Don't talk about the outside, even in the harem, there are people talking nonsense, the impact of this matter is really too great, the emperor is worried that people say that his old man is covering up his future nephew and daughter-in-law, so he has to order Shuntianfu to deal with it impartially." Seeing the emperor's attitude, Ge Ge was willing to give up, and took his family back to the house to set up a mourning hall. ”
After saying so much in one breath, Jing Yu became more and more worried in his heart: "Third Miss, since the emperor has ordered the Shuntian Mansion, they will definitely obey the order to try the case, you have to be prepared to go to court, what is the situation at that time, how you answer is the most beneficial to you, you have to think about these in advance." ”
Chu Junlan nodded, his face was still very calm.
Jing Yu said with a bitter face: "You are really calm, aren't you worried about this?" ”
"What's the use of worrying?" Chu Junlan smiled, the coldness in his eyes and the ridicule on his lips were not concealed at all.
"Since Ge Ge's old family is willing to make trouble, what can he say is that the emperor will not interfere again, he must have come up with definite evidence, so that the emperor can conclude that Ge Shuyu was killed by me."
"Yes, the prince said the same thing, he specially found a way to pass on the news, let me hurry up and tell you, Ge Ge's old family has come up with evidence to convince the emperor, and Shuntian Mansion may have been taken care of by Ge Ge Lao, then you are afraid that you will be speechless, and the Ge family has made up their minds to put you to death."
Jing Yu grabbed a handful of hair worriedly: "What can I do, at such a critical moment, the son of the partial birth is still under house arrest." If the Son of the World is here, even the prison robbery will save you. ”
Chu Junlan was amused by Jing Yu and laughed: "I robbed the prison, and then became a fugitive from me for the rest of my life, can I wander the world?" ”
"If I can wander the world with you, the son of the world will be happy!" Jingyu took the opportunity to confess for Xiao Xu: "In the hearts of our family, you are more important than anything else. You haven't seen the anxiety of the world today. About this time he was placed under house arrest in the palace, and he was anxious to heat the pan like ants. ”
What would Xiao Xu look like an ant on a hot pan?
Chu Junlan thought of Xiao Xu's anxious appearance in his mind, and his smile couldn't help but soften.
"It's time for you to go back." Chu Junlan said, "It won't benefit you to stay for a long time. ”
Jingyu nodded, bent down and picked up the lantern, "Third Miss, I'll leave this lantern for you, there is a bright child who can be more comfortable in my heart." ”
Chu Junlan bowed slightly, Jing Yu inserted the lantern into the cage, and then bowed deeply.
"Third Miss, you must be careful, Ge Ge has always made up his mind to ask for your life, and you must be careful when you answer it."
"Got it. There you go. Chu Junlan smiled and waved his hand at Jing Yu.
Jing Yu glanced at the cell again, full of taste. He has no choice now, and even the son of the world is under house arrest, what can he do as a subordinate?
Jingyu turned around and walked away step by step, and after the door slammed shut, silence returned to the prison.
Chu Junlan returned to his original place and continued to meditate, but his heart could no longer be calm.
Xiao Xu was under house arrest, Ge Ge Lao made trouble again, and used public opinion and perjury to let the emperor go, so who else in the capital has the ability to break the alliance between Ge Ge Lao and Shuntianfu? The two of them had joined forces to want her life, so whatever she said when she passed through the court seemed useless.
Thinking of this, Chu Junlan raised his eyes to look around at the environment of the prison.
In this great prison of Shuntianfu, even the brick walls are made of the hardest rock, which is twice as thick as ordinary walls, and it is difficult to escape from the sky.
Chu Junlan is not a pessimistic person, but now she has recognized the current situation, and she no longer has hope in going to court, if she really reaches the last step, she is likely to need to escape to save her life.
But she escaped, what happened to her family?
Chu Junlan closed his eyes, and his heart became a pot of porridge.
When the wax head inside the lantern burned out, the narrow window gradually turned white. The cold air of the early morning spread through the cells, and the rock walls were filled with a layer of moisture, and the prison became more and more cold and damp.
Chu Junlan quietly waited for Ge Ge Lao's next move, at first he was a little anxious, but now he was completely calmed down. Anxiety and fear are not good for the current situation, they just calm down and face it calmly.
At this moment, there was a sound of chains from the iron door outside, followed by the attentive voice of the cell leader: "My lord, please go inside." The criminals are in it. ”
Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.
Chu Junlan listened to the footsteps around him, and concluded that there should be seven or eight people here, and they were all young and middle-aged men with long legs and wide strides.
Raising her eyes, she really guessed well, the eight people who came were dressed in neat flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, and the first person was Qianhu Liying.
