Chapter 172: Rainy Night (1)
Outside, it was raining at night, and a drizzle of rain leaked through the small broken window of the prison.
It was obviously the height of summer, and a breeze blew, but He Mian'er felt a little chilly out of thin air.
She looked at the person in front of her in a daze, the familiar face was completely different from the temperament of Master Chen in the past, and for a while, she was also in a trance.
I don't know if this person is someone I knew in the past.
"Your Majesty, don't you think that Mian'er really killed someone?" He Mian'er only smiled miserably and asked this question, which seemed ridiculous to her.
She was expecting the man to veto it immediately, but she saw that the new emperor was silent.
In this dead silence, He Mian'er's heart only slowly cooled to the extreme.
The rain was still falling outside, and the wind blew from time to time, and the flame of the oil lamp was blown to the ground, but it was not extinguished.
After a while, the new emperor sighed and said, "Mian'er, I'm afraid that among all the people in this capital, there is only one person who has seen you kill people with his own eyes." ”
He had seen her kill people, poison her, without leaving a trace; One with a knife, is the head to the ground.
He Mian'er didn't smile sadly, but the bitterness in this smile was too heavy.
Feng Xianchuan, who had never known her, could suspect that she had killed Miss Bai and questioned her, but she didn't care at all, so she denied it.
But Master Chen, who lived and died with her in the past, actually guessed that he was with her, how could he not make her feel cold?
"Your Majesty should not have forgotten that in the Mongolian steppe, Mian'er's killing is just a helpless act of last resort." He Mian'er seemed to be a little reluctant to associate the person in front of her with the gentle Master Chen in the past.
"Yes." The new emperor didn't deny it at all, but then sighed: "Mian'er, in your heart, there is only Xu Yunqing, for him, you are afraid that you will do anything." ”
The neck that was strangled during the day began to ache faintly, He Mian'er only felt that her throat was not very comfortable, so she began to cough, and she couldn't stop coughing for a while.
After coughing, she only felt that her heart, liver and lungs seemed to be coughed out. coughing and coughing, tears came out of his face.
Seeing this, the new emperor stepped forward to support her, and only comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll see how your neck is?" ”
He Mian'er turned her head away, and her refusal was full of meaning.
The new emperor retracted his hand, stood aside, and sighed, "You are still so stubborn. Do you know that there is no pain in the hearts of widows? However, the maid clearly saw that the perpetrator was you. All kinds of evidence point to you. ”
Then he continued: "I know you too well, over the years, you have done too much for Xu Yunqing. Even I, several times, have had the idea of killing Xu Yunqing and taking you back. ”
The new emperor's face was full of remorse.
"In that case, Your Majesty should go." He Mian'er didn't want to see this person anymore, didn't want to listen to him say a word more, and only sent off the guests.
The new emperor stepped forward, held He Mian'er's hand tightly, and said eagerly: "Mian'er, why don't you fake your death and leave Beijing." You believe in the widow, at most it will be a year, and the widow will definitely make you change your face and return to the palace, accompany me, and the two of us will never be separated. ”
These words are a swear, and no one can doubt his intentions anymore.
He Mian'er had tears on her face, but she only felt sarcastic in her heart. This imperial position is really terrifying, turning a kind and gentle Chen Fuzi into a person in front of him.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to emulate the Tang Gaozong of the past?"
He Mian'er couldn't help but sarcastically. She only squinted, she knew that with the talent of the new emperor, she was unwilling to be a Tang Gaozong and gave the Li family dynasty to a Wu Zetian.
"No, in the hearts of widows, Mian'er is a pillar of the country, and it is not worse than a man." The new emperor said with an appreciative face.
He Mian'er only stared at her and said, "That is the case, Your Majesty should wait for Mian'er to regain her innocence before running for Your Majesty." "Qiyin
After that, he only looked up at the new emperor, unwilling to compromise in the slightest.
The new emperor had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, the widow will believe Mian'er again." However, "
He still added: "If everyone is rich, at that time, I am afraid that there will be no mercy, and the widow will definitely send you out of Beijing." ”
There was a sentence in the back, he didn't say it, but He Mian'er also understood. He did not want He Mian'er to be sentenced to death, or to be imprisoned for life.
From this point of view, the new emperor always has a trace of kindness towards He Mian'er in his heart.
He Mian'er turned away and stopped looking at him. Since he didn't believe her, they had nothing to say.
I only heard that the new emperor seemed to hesitate again and again, and finally got out of prison.
He Mian'er only sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, listening carefully to the sound of rain outside the house. The rain was murmuring, but her heart was like dripping rain, and it kept falling.
For a moment, I only heard someone walking in outside, with frivolous steps, and when I heard it, it was the wind and the river.
"Lady, why are you so silent?" I saw that Feng Xianchuan Jiaoerlang walked in locally, and went to prison as if he had entered a no-man's land.
He Mian'er only felt tired at the moment and didn't want to speak.
Na Feng Xianchuan sat beside her by himself, brought a wine jug from nowhere, raised the jug, and asked, "Would you like to have a drink with me." ”
He Mian'er only shook her head, unwilling to ignore him.
But when he saw that Feng Xianchuan, he drank the wine and said: "Don't worry, if the people who die tomorrow will come back to life, you and I can get out of prison directly in style." ”
He Mian'er only felt that his crazy words really sounded a little ridiculous. But thinking that he has been with him in prison for the past two days, it is not easy to be sarcastic.
He said, "If that's the case, it's the best." ”
But the two also knew that this was impossible.
Feng Xianchuan suddenly spoke: "That person is not General Xu, right?" But this is not a question.
He Mian'er only said lightly: "Since you know, why do you ask?" ”
Feng Xianchuan smiled loudly, and took two sips of wine, and then said: "It seems that tonight, this prison is going to be lively." ”
He Mian'er echoed him and said, "Yes, it's going to be lively." "After all, the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet.
"It's a pity, I'll have to get you out of this prison in a while." That Feng Xianchuan only casually found something to say.
Before he finished speaking, he heard that there seemed to be people fighting with the jailers outside the prison, and the sound was not loud, and under the cover of the rainy night, it was even more insignificant.
But He Mian'er still vaguely heard the jailer's muffled snort, and the two glanced at each other, with caution in their eyes.
But I don't know whether the person who comes is friend or foe.
That Feng Xianchuan immediately put away the wine jug and got up to block in front of He Mian'er.
He Mian'er smiled and said, "Feng Gongzi should stay away, so as not to be injured by mistake." Someone, anyway, was against me. ”
Feng Xianchuan spread out his fan, pretending to fan it easily: "Who called me a merry boy, but I love this hero to save the beauty the most." ”
He Mian'er didn't care about his jokes, the two stared directly at the entrance of the prison door, and heard the slight sound of footsteps, but they didn't know who it was.
