Chapter 73: Regret
"Dead ...... Death penalty? ”
Li Qi couldn't believe that he had been walking around secretly these days, hoping that a minister would help dredge it, but he didn't expect to be convicted so quickly.
I thought that the emperor's hesitation might have a good turnaround.
"It was Dong Shangshu who chased after him, and with the addition of other ministers, my father was unbearable, and finally approved it." Zhao Zhen said.
Li Qi's face was solemn, and he felt that he had harmed his sister.
Zhao Zhen was also full of shame, he knew that all this was because of his original death.
"I'm sorry!"
Zhao Zhen patted Li Qi's back with a heavy apology.
Li Qi asked him, "Is there no way to reverse it?" ”
Although I knew that this sentence was redundant, I couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes and did not answer.
The answer is self-explanatory.
At this time, a subordinate came to report that General Yuan Biao had come to visit the mansion and was now at the door.
"Is it the Yuan Biao who just returned to Beijing?"
Zhao Zhen asked.
Li Qi said: "It's him." ”
The subordinate said that Yuan Biao had been here for a long time, and he stood in front of the door and did not enter.
Li Qi had heard the name of Yuan Biao in Li Lin's letter, and this time it was the first time he had met Yuan Biao himself.
At the door of the mansion, Yuan Biao stood there dressed in black, and his tall figure had a sense of oppression.
Li Qi and Zhao Zhen walked over.
"General Yuan, long admiration!"
Li Qi went up to salute and tried his best to show kindness to him.
Yuan Biao had been staring at the plaque of the Zheng Guogong Mansion above in a daze, and as soon as Li Qi opened his mouth, he had already guessed in his heart that this was Li Lin's own brother.
came back to his senses and said: "I heard that there was a mourning in the house after the son was arrested, but now it is like nothing to change to Li Lin. ”
This exit made Li Qi unable to answer.
Although Yuan Biao's tone was a little unfriendly, what he said was the truth.
"Let's talk in the general's mansion......," Li Qi made a gesture of invitation.
Yuan Biao sneered: "I came to visit Li Lin, but since she is not here, I don't think there is any need to go in." ”
With his attitude, Li Qi is not easy to talk about himself.
But he still saluted him: "Over the years, thank you for the general's care of Li Lin." ”
Yuan Biao looked at his actions, and there was no trace of relaxation on his face, but a little mockery.
said lightly: "Don't thank me, it's herself who takes care of her." ”
He gave Li Qi a hasty salute to the barracks, and then turned around and left.
Looking at his black back, Li Qi had mixed feelings.
At this time, he looked back at Zhao Zhen, only to find that he was standing far away from him without saying a word, as if he was hiding.
"You are..."
He asked, puzzled.
Zhao Zhen watched Yuan Biao walk away, and then slowly walked over.
said: "I heard that the third brother and the sixth brother are already wooing him...... Actually, I quite admire him, even though he is an iceberg face. ”
"And you just hid?"
"Just now, I knew he didn't like you by looking at his eyes. I was afraid that it would affect my first impression, so I reduced my sense of presence. ”
"yes." Li Qi sighed.
He could see the coldness and mockery in Yuan Yu's eyes.
Li Lin's matter, Li Qi really has a loss in his heart.
At this time, Li Qi suddenly saw half of the head poking out sneakily from behind the door, and quickly walked over and pulled the man out.
It's actually Ah Xiu?
Li Qi asked Ah Xiu sternly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Ah Xiu was a little scared and said, "I heard that General Yuan is coming...... Come out and see what it looks like. ”
Ah Xiu heard that Yuan Biao was a general who killed people without blinking, so he came out to see what he looked like...... Is it the same as the ancient Bai Qi is a god of war?
When Zhao Zhen saw Ah Xiu, he remembered that she was the one who was in the hunting ground a long time ago, and at this time she still looked like a man and a woman, and he almost forgot the existence of this person.
Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed twice, and the more Ah Xiu looked at it, the more he looked demented.
Ji An hurriedly walked out, grabbed Ah Xiu's ears and criticized: "You have so much trouble taking out garbage!" ”
"Oops, it hurts!" Ah Xiu covered his ears and felt aggrieved.
"Big brother, I'm sorry for delaying your business." Gian said and ripped her away.
"Brother Ji'an, I just took a look." Ah Xiu's duck screamed.
Behind them, Li Qi and Zhao Zhen looked at them helplessly.
Li Qi said to Zhao Zhen: "I can be sure that she is not the person sent by our opponent. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Actually, I can see it......"
How can there be such a spy?
I'm afraid I don't even have the IQ of ordinary people.
Ji'an dragged Ah Xiu to the backyard to teach her a lesson.
"In the future, when the eldest brother talks to the Nine Emperor Princes, he is not allowed to approach!"
Ah Xiu rubbed his ears, "I just want to see if this General Yuan looks like his younger brother." ”
"Which brother?"
Ji'an was suddenly confused.
Ah Xiu said: "It's the Yuan Gongzi who used to come to play often." ”
"Which Yuan Gongzi? …… Are you talking about Yuanshu? ”
Ji'an looked at Ah Xiu incredulously.
Ah Xiu nodded: "Yes, they are a bit like..."
Ji An looked at the stupid look of Ah Xiu in front of him, and was instantly shocked by her words.
"You...... You don't even know the emperor's grandson? I don't even know what his last name is! ”
It turned out that she was incorrigible, and when she first came to the house, she thought she was hiding her wisdom and foolishness, but now it seems that her IQ is indeed not enough.
"How can anyone tell you that the emperor's grandson's surname is Yuan?"
"Isn't the surname Yuan Shu Gongzi?" Ah Xiu asked.
Ji An knocked Ah Xiu's head hard: "I'll tell you!" Surname Zhao! If you make a mistake in the future, you will be beaten to death! ”
Ah Xiu covered her head with a look of surprise, she always thought that Yuanshu's surname was Yuan.
Zhao Yuanshu.... Zhao Yuanshu......
Ah Xiu thought about this name carefully in his mind, and only felt a sense of familiarity, he must have heard this name before.
Ji An sighed and shook his head, he didn't bother to communicate with her anymore, and went to buy vegetables with a small basket.
Ah Xiu kept reciting the name Zhao Yuanshu in his head, and he couldn't remember where he saw this name for a while.
When Yuanshu returned to Fuzhong,
Knowing that Li Lin's approval for the death penalty had been issued, he stood in a daze for a long time.
Yuan Shu returned to the prison with the heaviness in his heart, lingered outside for a long time, and finally walked in.
The walls of the stone prison were cold and gloomy.
After turning a few corners, Yuan Shu saw the cell where Li Lin was from a distance.
Li Lin's figure looked a little thin at the moment, and he stopped and stood in the dark.
At this moment, Li Lin was sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the stone wall.
Her back was still straight, and she seemed unafraid of anything that was going to happen.
Yuanshu saw the faint wound on her back.
Traces of blood spread across the white prison uniforms
She was alone in such a prison, with no one to take care of her...... It is likely that he has already been sentenced to a heavy sentence.
Looking at the faint blood stains on her body, Yuanshu's eyes were a little red, and he was suddenly a little scared, standing there and not daring to move forward.
Originally, he was going to come over to apologize to her, but now he didn't dare to speak at all, and he didn't dare to let her know that he was here.
Thinking of what he had done before, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be angry with himself, and hammered the stone wall beside him with his hand.
Li Lin heard movement behind him, and subconsciously turned his head to look, and Yuan Shu hurriedly hid behind the wall.
