Li Qi knew that he was at a loss, and he was a little weak-hearted.

said to Li Lin: "Actually, my father and mother are worried about you, but many things are very helpless. ”

"I know."

Li Lin smiled bitterly.

Not far away, Zhao Zhen also walked over, he came with Li Qi, Zhao Zhen saw that Yuan Qi was in prison, and intentionally or unintentionally hid behind Li Qi. sighed in my heart: my first impression couldn't be better......

However, Yuan Biao still saw him at a glance.

stepped forward: "If this is not unexpected, is His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince?" ”

Zhao Zhen knew that he couldn't hide, so he was helpless and said, "Yes!" ”

Yuan Wei smiled and said: "I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes and Li Qi are inseparable, but now it seems to be true. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled.

"General Su Wen is cold-faced and not afraid of imperial power, and now it seems to be true."

Yuan Biao arched his hand: "Each other, each other." ”

Looking at Yun Biao's eyes, Zhao Zhen felt a little cold, he knew that he must have been blacklisted in his heart.

He tried to explain: "Actually, Li Lin's case is ......"

Yuan Biao said: "The case itself is straightforward, and now it is important to save your life." ”

"Now that you have no jokes, the emperor has made an order."

Li Qi's tone was full of despair.

Yuan Biao was extremely disgusted by his words: "I'm afraid that Zheng Guogong's mansion doesn't have the heart to save it at all!" ”

"Senior brother!"

Li Lin interrupted him, for fear that he would say something hurtful to his feelings.

She said to Li Qi: "Daddy and grandpa have their helplessness, I know it. ”

Yuan Wei snorted coldly: "I hope so." ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly and strode out of the cell.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen in the remaining cells stood there, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It is undeniable that this is the first time they have come to see Li Lin since he was imprisoned.

Li Lin comforted his brother: "Everything is left to fate. I've figured this out a long time ago. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Li Lin's strong face, secretly admired her courage in his heart, and at the same time said to Li Lin with shame: "This time.... I can't get away with it. ”

Li Lin smiled bitterly: "It's all about making people, step by step to get to where we are today." ”

Li Qi said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!" ”

——————

Prison cells in the middle of the night.

Li Lin lay on the cold stone wall.

Thinking back to the past little by little, she thought of what her senior brother said during the day, and suddenly felt sad.

Yuan Biao sat in front of the bookcase, and his thoughts ran around.

Yuan Biao was abandoned in the temple since he was a child, and was later adopted by his teacher, and since he was a child, he has interpreted human nature as a species.

He hadn't seen his parents since he was a child, including so many years on the battlefield.

Many years ago, when he first met Li Lin, he once thought that Li Lin was an orphan like himself, until the teacher talked about Li Lin's life experience, he didn't know that there was such a wonderful family in the world.

He remembered that letters from his hometown would be distributed in the barracks every month.

Every time other soldiers cheered because they received the concern of their hometown, Li Lin kept his head down to eat. Later, I occasionally received Li Qi, but there were very few.

Because of the long distance, most of the fruits sent were dried fruits, and whenever the soldiers shared the dried fruits they received with Li Lin, Li Lin had envy on his face.

The soldiers didn't know why a woman like Li Lin would want to stay in the barracks, they had never heard her mention her parents, and no one knew that she was from a powerful family.

One day that year, Li Lin was immersed in eating, and suddenly heard the sender call her name,

Looking up, the sender said, "Li Lin! There is your letter! ”

After speaking, he stuffed her with a bag of dried fruits, and said that it was also for her.

At that moment, Li Lin's face was full of surprise and expectation, and for a moment he thought that he had been mistaken, and when he took the letter in his hand and opened it, he found that it was written by Yuan Ao.

At dinner that night, Li Lin broke into Yuan's tent and asked him why he wrote a letter?

Yuan Biao's face was still as cold as an ice cube, and he said, "Haven't you always wanted to receive letters?" Now that I have received it, I will concentrate on practicing in the future and don't think about anything else. ”

Later, Li Lin learned that

Yuan Biao stole the teacher's dried fruit and gave it to her.

It was a tribute from the emperor to his teacher Sun Chengxian.

Those dried fruits have been reluctant to eat and cherish them very much. There are few snacks in the desert, and it is a gift from the emperor, which is simply a treasure.

Unexpectedly, he was stuffed into the letter and given to Li Lin by Yuan Ao.

As a result, he was punished by his teacher for kneeling for several nights.

Li Lin has always remembered this incident, recalling her life over the years, she and the family of Zheng Guogong's Mansion really don't have many common memories.

On the contrary, he and Yuan Biao are more like relatives who rely on each other.

In Dali Temple,

When Dali Sicheng heard that the third prince was going to change the verdict of this case, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

"This ...... The emperor has already given an order, and this can't be changed at all, Your Highness! ”

The Third Prince was disappointed by his cringe.

"There are always more ways than difficulties."

The clever little temple standing in the back had a smile on his face, and seemed to have some idea.

The third prince left the small temple in the room alone.

Asked him: "In this case now, if you find loopholes in the verdict, do you have a way?" ”

Xiaoji Cheng smiled smartly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, there have been such cases before, at this time, only one person who is not afraid of death needs to take the lead in raising objections." Then a few capable people in the DPRK and China will defend it, and as long as they are evenly matched in the tug-of-war, the verdict can finally be changed! ”

The three princes looked at this small temple with appreciation.

When I tried Li Lin's case before, I felt that he had a quick mind and had such insight at a young age.

He asked, "If you were asked to write this, would you dare?" ”

Koji Cheng knelt in front of him: "Dare." ”

He boldly said: "Li Lin's case itself does not need to be sentenced to death so severely, and there is a legal code to follow. ”

"According to the code, there is no need for the death penalty."

"Yes, the emperor's judgment is nothing more than to take care of Dong Shangshu's face and calm down the gossip."

The third prince nodded, there was already appreciation in his eyes, and asked him, "What's your name?" ”

Xiao Sicheng humbly replied: "Humble Di Yinjie." ”

"Good!"

The third prince slapped the table and said, "You are the youngest Shaoqing in Dali Temple to do this, from the fourth grade!" ”

The small temple knelt down to thank the three princes, and his heart was full of joy.

After so many years in Dali Temple, he finally met a noble person who was going to come out!

If you can get ahead this time, you can go back to marry Cuihua at the entrance of the village and walk to the pinnacle of life.

The emperor was furious when he looked at the fold in his hand, and slammed the fold on the table.

"A small Dali temple man dares to object to a closed case! Quoting scriptures, is the holy decree I gave before nonsense? ”

In the face of the emperor's anger, the Manchu ministers were silent.

After a moment of silence, the previous words of the crowd appeared in a different voice at this time.

Several ministers in the court euphemistically said: The case is indeed severe......

Recently, Zheng Guogong took sick leave and has been recuperating at home, and the emperor naturally knows about it.

At this time, the person who took the lead in interceding was Sima Jiu, an old minister of the Hanlin Academy.

Does this name sound familiar?

That's right, he is the friend of Zheng Guogong who was mentioned in the first chapter at the beginning of this article, and now he is appearing for the first time.

He has always been silent, but at this moment he has made his position clear, believing that the emperor should retract his order and deal with Li Lin lightly.
