Chapter 306: Life Saver
In Beijing, it is cold in early spring.
Mei Xiaoren got out of the carriage and entered the mansion, and his steps were extremely fast. At this hour, Wenhua Hall should have just sent a recital, and Chu Yu would be in charge of the study room.
The window of the study was open, and she looked in through the window to see the scholar of the Guards, who was sitting in the window with his head propped on his hands, looking depressed and looking exhausted.
Mei Xiaoren took off his cloak and threw it to his entourage and walked into the study alone. Chu Yu sat behind the bookcase, saw her come back, gave her a look, and asked her to go to Wei Shuying.
She sighed in her heart, slowed down her pace, sat down opposite the scholar of the guard, and asked softly, "The scholar is not happy?" ”
"Brother Mei, should I be happy?" The scholar looked out the window slowly, as if he couldn't see the sun, and his heart looked like he was dead.
Mei Xiaoren picked up the teapot and poured tea for herself, and asked, "Is Xiuyu's pregnancy true or false?" ”
The scholar was silent for a long time, and then opened his lips and spat out two words: "Really." ”
When Mei Xiaoren heard this, he had a meal in his hand, the tea had not yet been filled, and his heart felt like he had been hit by a heavy punch.
The couple finally showed signs of reunion, but Xiuyu jumped out and said that she was pregnant.
When Mei Xiaoren saw the letter, she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that it was a lie made up by Xiuyu in order to survive, but she ignored the medical skills of the university scholars, and Xiuyu couldn't hide the hands and hearts of the scholars no matter how much she pretended.
"Xiao Yu'er, what do you say?" Wei Shuying frowned and asked back.
Gu Chuyu raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Shuying, "You did a good thing yourself, ask me?" ”
"This can't be, I didn't do anything to her at all, where did she hit the child who popped up?" The more Wei Shuying spoke, the more anxious she became, she stood up and faced Gu Chuyu and said, "Xiao Yu'er, am I such a confused person, will I not understand that I have to be responsible once I share the same bed?" Since I can't give people any name, how can I transgress the rules?"
"Didn't she confess that it was the day you got drunk."
"I ......"
The scholar of Wei University, who had just returned the words, immediately stopped talking.
The study was quiet, and the anxious person had been replaced by Mei Xiaoren, who supported her forehead with one hand and tapped on the coffee table with the other.
Xiuyu is really not simple, he has been in prison for nearly two months, he doesn't say anything sooner or later, but he preached it on the street when he was escorted out of the Shangjing Government Office on the hidden platform.
Now, it has to be full of wind and rain in the city.
Mei Xiaoren looked at the back of the scholar of Wei, and felt that Xiuyu's life could not be lost for the time being.
The scholar read the sage books, and even if he hated the scheming woman, he couldn't do anything to kill his parents and children. Not only can't he do it, but I'm afraid that even Wei Taishi will have to compromise, so that kid is undoubtedly Xiuyu's life talisman.
"Where's Xiuyu?" Mei Xiaoren asked.
"At Liuyue." The scholar gave her the answer.
This is the first time Mei Xiaoren has come to Yinyuetai Prison, and I have heard for a long time that this place is famous for being gloomy and bloody, which makes people talk about it.
The dark dungeon was filled with the smell of blood, and the sound of whipping and screams came from nowhere. These were only a few of the things she perceived, and there were other criminals who were being quietly punished.
There were only a few candlesticks on the wall to illuminate the road, and the light was dim, and it could not illuminate the cold and narrow aisle, and Mei Xiaoren walked in it, only to feel a chill in his back.
A Xuanyi guard led her to the depths of the prison, and raised his hand to guide: "Your Excellency, please." ”
Maybe it was because of Xiuyu's pregnancy on the hidden moon platform, the cell arranged for her was quite quiet, there was no terrifying sound, and there were no other prisoners around.
Mei Xiaoren walked to the front of the cell, it was time for lunch, and Xiuyu was enjoying a fairly hearty prison meal
She hadn't seen Xiuyu for nearly two months, and she remembered that two months ago, when Xiuyu was in the Beijing Bureau, she was not as calm as she is now.
Mei Xiaoren stood outside for a while, and Xiu Yucai reluctantly turned her head to look at her, the corners of her lips hooked, "Lord Fu Yin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm not dead yet, I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”
Mei Xiaoren laughed, "Miss Xiuyu's life should not be extinguished, what can this official say?" ”
Xiuyu brought the porridge in her hand, stirred it with a spoon a few times, and smiled, "Shouldn't adults congratulate Xiuyu?" ”
"Congratulations? It's time to congratulate you on living a few more months. The corners of Mei Xiaoren's mouth rose, "But if you want to rely on a child to enter the university as a master, I'm afraid that you will think too much." ”
"This is the flesh and blood of the scholar, the first grandson of the Taishi, what is the weight......
Mei Xiaoren immediately interrupted Xiuyu's words and asked, "Is it really the flesh and blood of a scholar?" ”
The smile on Xiuyu's lips dissipated, and she said coldly: "What do you mean by this, my lord?" ”
"Xiuyu, the child is your life talisman, but it can also make you die without a place to be buried." Mei Xiaoren said lightly, "Whether the child's father is a scholar or not, we will know when the child is born, and if you dare to disturb the bloodline of the family, the end will be a hundred times worse than if you die here." ”
"How can an adult slander Xiuyu like this!"
Mei Xiaoren sneered, "You know in your heart whether you slander or not, this official is just saying things in front." ”
Xiuyu put down the bowl, put her hand on her lower abdomen, looked at Mei Xiaoren, and said with a smile: "Then the adult listens, the child in my womb is the biological flesh and blood of the scholar, and there is no falsehood." ”
Mei Xiaoren could see the firmness of his mind from Xiuyu's eyes, and it was true that he didn't look like he was lying.
"If you have time, may you help me ask Mrs. Scholar if she likes this child?"
Mei Xiaoren had just turned around, and Xiuyu's arrogant words came from his ears. Xiuyu not only set up a trap in the past, but also prepared such a hand herself, she was not Mrs. Wei who couldn't wait to kill Xiuyu, but I thought how uncomfortable Mrs. Wei should be at this time.
She walked away, walking as fast as she could, and as she passed by a cell, she caught a glimpse of the prisoners lying motionless on the dry grass. His clothes were mottled with blood, both new and old.
She stopped because the face under the messy hair made her look familiar.
Mei Xiaoren stayed in front of the cell door for a while, and shouted tentatively: "Gao Jingshu? ”
The prisoner, who had been motionless, reacted, moving awkwardly twice, his hands on the ground, and struggling to sit up, his head and shoulders against the wall.
Mei Xiaoren took the lantern in Xuanyiwei's hand, stretched it out and took a photo, although the face was dirty, it was barely the outline she remembered.
Gao Jingshu's mouth was open and closed, and his voice was extremely hoarse, but Mei Xiaoren could hear that he was calling her name, and his tone was still full of resentment.
"Mei ...... Mei Xiaoren! ”
The guard reprimanded: "Bold, this is Lord Fu Yin." ”
"Lord Fu Yin?" Gao Jingshu laughed, his poignant laughter was a little infiltrating, and he sighed in a dumb voice, "Becoming a king and losing a king......
