Ah Qing didn't come back with the key, but brought with him the Praetorian Guard general who was in charge of the prison.

The general exclaimed: "Your Highness wants to release Li Guiren?" ”

"That's right, open the door, and I'll take her away."

"Your Highness, if Lord Guogong asks, how should I explain?"

Jiang Rong stood up straight, his expression was serious, and he said in a calm voice: "You just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daning took the jade seal to forgive the Li family's mistakes, and prayed for His Majesty to accumulate virtue and do good!" ”

"This ......"

He heard that the general was still hesitating, so he turned around and reprimanded: "You don't take this prince seriously? ”

"The last general will not dare." The Praetorian bowed down and stepped forward to open the cell door.

Li Qingqing wiped away the tears on his face and followed Jiang Rong out of the inner prison.

Ah Qing followed behind, worried about worry, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still the queen's mother's family who is loyal to His Royal Highness." ”

Jiang Rong planned to take Li Qingqing to leave the palace at night, even if he didn't send her to the Prime Minister's Mansion and sent her out of the city. I heard that the villain had left Beijing, which showed that Gu Chuyu had foresight and knew that the Wei Guild would take advantage of his absence to make waves.

He was thinking about where to send Li Qingqing in his heart, when a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was countless lanterns approaching him.

After a while, there was a dense crowd of people standing in front of him, including palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and the queen mother and concubine.

"Ei'er, what are you doing here?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Grandson has seen the imperial grandmother, returned to the imperial grandmother, grandson just pardoned the Li family's mistakes as the crown prince, and is preparing to let her out of the palace."

"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother said angrily, pointed at Li Qingqing, and said, "This woman has harmed your father, and you can still forgive her, which is really disappointing to the mourning family!" ”

Jiang Rong smiled, "When did the imperial grandmother have high hopes for her grandson, and it was the Ji family who made the imperial grandmother have high hopes." ”

The concubine supported the Queen Mother, frowned and scolded lightly: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?" ”

"Naturally, it's what Prince Daning should say!" Ei noodles do not change color and authenticity.

"Ei'er, don't be ungrateful, don't forget who gave you the position of prince you to, when Gu Xiang was there, did he let you be the prince; When Gu Xiang obstructed your father from making you the crown prince, did that Xiao Shi say a word for you? Now that you help her save Li Guiren, she may not be grateful to you! ”

Jiang Rong laughed dryly, "I'm happy, I don't expect the villain to do anything for me, I just want her to be happy." ”

The concubine immediately said: "Your Highness, that's the Prime Minister's wife, not your person." ”

Jiang Rong didn't have the heart to rub shoulders with anyone here, so he said directly: "It's not too early, the imperial grandmother and the concubine will go back to rest, and the grandson will go out of the palace." ”

The Queen Mother didn't want to say much, and immediately ordered: "Come on, escort Li Guiren back to the prison, and send His Royal Highness back to the palace, and order the imperial dining room to cook sobering soup for him!" ”

The guards looked at each other a few times, and they didn't know what to do, the prince was the prince after all, but the queen mother's orders, they had to obey the ......

The two guards at the head of the line took a few steps forward, their steps unusually slow, as if they intended to leave some chance for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reverse.

"Imperial grandmother, don't be in a hurry to make the decision for your grandson, your grandson is here to ask the imperial grandmother, is your grandson the crown prince of Daning?" Jiang Rong is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Of course you are the crown prince of Daning, but you have to remember that you are the prince of the Ji family, you can disobey anyone, but you can't disobey the Ji family, otherwise the mourning family will not spare you!"

Jiang Rong looked up at the moon and smiled sarcastically: "Isn't the imperial grandmother's surname Ji, so do the imperial grandmother and uncle want to return the power to the Jiang family, or do they want to replace the prime minister's mansion?" ”

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother was furious.

"Is my grandson wrong?" Jiang Rong's gaze became cold, and he glanced at the Queen Mother and said, "You are good to me, not because I am your grandson, but because my surname is Jiang, and I am my father's only son; Uncle is not assisting the prince's sons and grandsons, but raising a puppet, raising a puppet who can obey you, because you can't compare to the family surnamed Gu, they don't need a puppet to control Daning, and your Ji family can't! ”

Ah Qing stood aside and didn't speak, seeing that the queen mother's face seemed to sink to the extreme, he pinched the sweat for the master, gently pulled the master's sleeve and persuaded: "Your Highness......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is this a drunken mantra?"

A peaceful sound came, and the nobles around the queen mother and the concubine made way for the comers.

Jiang Rong was stunned, in the final analysis, although he hated, he was also afraid in his heart, because he had no ability, and he was raised by them since he was a child to only know how to travel in the mountains and rivers, wind and snow, no wisdom, and no power to resist.

Li Qingqing was also worried about Jiang Rong, and now when he saw Wei Guogong, he felt that the hope in his heart had been extinguished by a basin of water. She may not be able to leave......

Jiang Rong was afraid in his heart, but he had never been cowardly on the surface, even in the face of Gu Chuyu, he dared to shout. Now that there was a fuss, the strength of the wine had passed, and the others had sobered up a lot, and looked at Wei Guogong and said: "Uncle is a foreign minister, is it appropriate to enter the palace so late?" ”

Wei Guocheng said: "The minister is an auxiliary minister, and when he sees His Highness making a mistake, even if there is a violation, he has to rush to admonish." ”

"Uncle came just in time, this prince has acquitted Li Guiren."

As soon as Jiang Rong's words were finished, an extremely firm voice came from his ears: "No! ”

He asked rhetorically: "Why, is it just nonsense that Prince Ben's order is?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just taken over the jade seal, and he is not familiar with the management of the government, and he can't do without the assistance of the minister, and the minister also mentions it when His Royal Highness is confused." Wei Guogong looked at Li Guiren and said, "This woman has deceived the king, and made His Majesty angry and sick, and the crime is the same as killing the king, and it must not be spared!" ”

Jiang Rong sneered, his face had been torn to this point, and he didn't need to be polite to anyone, not to mention that the friendship between relatives was about to be ruined by this person.

"Uncle, you said during the day that if anyone dares to save her, he will be guilty of the same crime as her, if this prince insists on saving her tonight?"

Wei Guogong didn't answer, turned to look at the person behind Jiang Ei, and said: "Your Highness is confused, the minister can't mention it from time to time outside the palace, but the people around His Highness should notice and stop it as soon as possible, and then send someone to inform the old man, but this slave not only doesn't know how to report it, but also accompanies His Highness to mess around, His Highness is precious, naturally he can't be guilty of the same crime as Li Guiren, and this slave can't escape the responsibility!" ”

Ah Qing was shocked, and his hands began to tremble violently, and the lantern smashed on the ground and burned into a fireball.

Wei Guogong looked at the fire and ordered indifferently: "For the sake of his many years of service to His Highness, he has no merit and hard work, he will be exempted from burning at the stake and dragged out with a rod." ”

Ah Qing was so frightened that his soul flew away, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord Guogong spare his life, Lord Guogong spare his life." ”

Jiang Rong was furious: "You are a foreign minister, why should you dispose of this prince's attendant!" ”

The Queen Mother answered unhurriedly: "The servants in the palace, the mourning family has the right to dispose of it, then this will will be made by the mourning family, come on, drag Aqing down, and beat him to death with a stick!" ”
