There were jailers guarding the gate of Tingwei Prison, Xie Guifei and Yu Yuangui rushed here, and when they got off the carriage, they gathered the cloak draped on their bodies, lowered the brim of their hats, and lowered their heads slightly, for fear that people would see their faces.

The two jailers guarding saw Yu Yuangui coming here from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Yu Yuangui carried a pot of wine and two catties of meat in his hand, waved it, and said: "This official is here to find his nephew to catch up." ”

The two jailers glanced at each other, both confused, and Yu Yuangui said again: "Sun Zao is not inside?" ”

As soon as they heard the name of the court lieutenant, the two jailers knew which relatives Yu Yuangui was talking about, and they hurriedly said: "Those who are here, Sun Zuojian is inside, Taifu will wait a minute, and the villain will go to pass it on." ”

Tingwei is divided into left and right prisoners, and Yu Yuangui's distant cousin and nephew are early and are the left prisoners.

"Well," Yu Yuan replied, and when the jailer entered the room, he looked back at Xie Guifei, who then also raised her head, exchanged glances with him, and then lowered her head again.

The two court lieutenants returned to Cheng Shu, and they didn't dare to go far for a moment, so they kept standing outside Cheng Shu's cell, staring at him all the time, and the jailer came here and called with a smile: "Sun Zuojian, your uncle has come to see you." ”

"Uncle?" Sun Zao looked at a loss, Xian Kao is an only son, there are only sisters up and down, and there are no brothers, how can he come to be an uncle?

The jailer was also stunned, and said in surprise: "Mrs. Yu...... Not your uncle? ”

Mrs. Yu? It turned out that this self-proclaimed uncle was actually the prince of the dynasty, Sun Zao smiled bitterly in his heart, he had not been in contact for many years, he had long forgotten this relative, and thought that Xianyan had brought him to Jiankang to join this distant cousin, but the orphan and widow had suffered from the eyes of others.

The Yingchuan Yu clan, relying on the Gaomen clan, disdained to associate with distant relatives from the Hanmen Shu clan, and even when others asked him who he was, his distant cousin pointed at him and said to the outside and inside that he was just a miscellaneous subordinate in the house.

Now the Yu family is willing to pull down his face to recognize him, heh!

"It's a distant cousin, I rarely interact with him on weekdays, you just mentioned it, I don't even remember who it is," Sun Zao said, and walked outside, and when he looked outside, he really saw the distant cousin standing there, with two tightly covered women behind him.

"Ah Zao! Uncle brought some wine and meat, come and see you," Yu Yuangui walked over, raised his hand and patted Sun Zao's sturdy upper arm, his face was full of smiles between his words, and he was very kind.

Sun Zao didn't hide from him, but he was very angry with him, and deliberately called him: "Uncle Cousin is looking for me?" ”

Yu Yuangui listened to this "cousin", and he was quite unhappy, but he could only be Sun Zao's unintentional words, he handed the wine and meat to Sun Zao, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just come and see you." ”

Sun Zao didn't take the wine and meat, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the two women who were following Yu Yuangui, and he simply said bluntly: "You're here to visit the prison, right?" ”

He had already heard that Yu Yuangui supported the king of Linchuan, and now that Cheng rate was in prison, Yu Yuangui suddenly came here to kiss him, except for wanting to use his relationship to visit the prison, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Yu Yuangui was seen through by Sun Zao, and he was very embarrassed for a while, even if this was the case, he no longer hid it, and smiled directly: "Let you see it." ”

Sun Zao kept a straight face from beginning to end, as if he was not smiling, he raised his head slightly, looked straight ahead, and said: "The one inside is a key criminal, Zheng Tingwei has ordered, no one is allowed to go in to visit, cousin, please go back." ”

"Hey," Yu Yuangui dragged out the last note, still close to Sun Zao, he said: "Zuo is just a pillar of incense, Ah Zao, I am also your uncle, it is not impossible to be accommodating." ”

"Uncle?" Sun Zao sneered and said sarcastically: "Sun was born in the Shu clan, but he doesn't dare to climb relatives casually." ”

Sun had already made his words clear, and Yu Yuangui no longer avoided the events of the year, he sneered: "What happened back then, what my uncle did was wrong, but I have always been your cousin, when your mother died, after her death, cousin and I, I also made a contribution, didn't I?" ”

Yu Yuangui is right, Xian Yan passed away in the Yu family, and after his death, Yu Yuangui did help to handle it.

Sun Zao still has an old grudge in his heart, but he has indeed received the favor of Yu Yuangui, which is true, he finally led the way, but he was unwilling, and said coldly: "Come with me." ”

Yu Yuangui was overjoyed in his heart, so he turned around and glanced at Xie Guifei again, and then took Xie Guifei's master and servant to follow Sun Zao in.

When he got inside, Sun Zao took the wine and meat from Yu Yuangui's hand, handed it to the right prisoner, and said, "You go and rest for a while, I will guard here." ”

When the right supervisor saw that Sun had already brought outsiders in, he was careful and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Sun Zao smiled: "I catch up with my uncle. ”

"Oh," the right prisoner knew that Yu Yuangui was here to visit the prison, but he couldn't penetrate it, so he had to open one eye and close one eye, and walked out slowly.

Sun opened the cell door again, and he retreated to the corner, glancing at the prison from time to time.

Cheng Shu hadn't slept yet, and when he saw Yu Yuangui coming here, he didn't react much, just don't look at him.

Xie Guifei walked into the cell with He Nushi, Cheng Rate sat on the ground, and only then did he know that the person who came was Xie Guifei, and he exclaimed: "Niangniang? ”

"Shh," Xie Guifei motioned for him to be silent, and he immediately knelt down and said in a low voice: "Humble and incompetent." ”

Well, it's quite incompetent!

Although Concubine Xie didn't say anything, she really thought so in her heart, she took advantage of Sun Zao's unpreparedness and secretly stuffed the short sword hidden in her sleeve pocket to Cheng Shu.

Cheng Shu was shocked when he saw the sword, he looked at Xie Guifei in a daze, his eyes were full of disbelief, Gui Concubine Niangniang, really want to kill him?

Xie Guifei bent down, put a cherry mouth on Cheng Shu's ear, opened her lips lightly, and whispered: "This short sword is for you to use to slay the dragon." ”

Slay the dragon? Cheng Shu was shocked, looked at Concubine Xie, and said, "Niangniang, this is going to die of humility!" ”

Although he was about to commit it, he committed several crimes, but he did not commit to death, at most he was exiled to Lingnan.

But killing the monarch is different, whether it is successful or defeated, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, Xie Guifei wants him to kill the monarch, that is, he wants to die.

Seeing that he was reluctant, Concubine Xie threatened: "Cheng Shu, your parents are in the hands of this palace, as long as you do it obediently, this palace will not embarrass them, but if you don't do it, hum," she didn't continue, but the implication was already very clear.

Cheng Rate is a filial son, Xie Guifei threatened him with his parents, he has to do it now, and he has to do it if he doesn't do it.

Seeing that Cheng Rate didn't say anything, Concubine Xie squatted down again and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow, this palace will send someone to assist you to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"What if we lose?"

Concubine Xie suddenly showed a fierce look on her face, and said: "Only success, not failure!" ”

Cheng Yu hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.

The next day, Xiao Daocheng retired from the court, specially kept Xiao Ying, and ordered him to go to the Shiqian Hall with him, and then ordered Zheng Hui to personally bring Cheng Shuo to the court captain and supervisor, and he wanted to interrogate him personally.

Cheng Shu did not change his prison clothes, he was still wearing his own clothes, he hid the short sword in his sleeve, and looked panicked on the way to the palace, for fear that the short sword would be discovered, and he was also afraid that the king would fail.

When he arrived at the Shiqian Palace, Cheng Shu first looked at everyone in the hall, but saw that His Royal Highness had no one to help from the side except for the inner prison maid, and there was no one to help Xie Guifei said, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and when he went inside, he saw Xiao Ying standing there.

The master and servant glanced at each other at first, and then Cheng Rate timidly lowered his head.

The two court captains escorted Cheng to the palace, and then retreated to the side.

Cheng led Mumu to stand in the hall, he raised his head again to peep at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying was also looking at him, and when he saw that the opportunity came, he secretly gave him a look and signaled that it was time for him to do it.

But Cheng Shuo was suspicious of whether Xiao Ying and Xie Guifei had ulterior motives, and they didn't have the courage to kill the king, so they didn't do it, Xiao Ying was in a hurry, and hurriedly gave him a look.

At that time, Zheng reprimanded: "Be bold and take the lead, see that Your Majesty still doesn't kneel!" ”

Cheng Shu was distracted for a while, and before he could react, Zheng Hui raised his hand to press the back of his neck, wanting to kneel down with him.

But Cheng Shuzheng was thinking about killing the king, where could he withstand Zheng Hui's strong press, he didn't stand firm for a while, and the whole person staggered forward two steps, and the short sword hidden in his sleeve also fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the short sword on the ground, Qu Ping was originally standing behind Xiao Daocheng, but now he rushed in front of him, pointed at Cheng Shu and shouted: "Escort!" Escort! ”

Seeing that there was no way out, Cheng Yu hurriedly picked up the short sword, and rushed towards Xiao Daocheng, unexpectedly Xiao Ying was in front, the wind was under his feet, he didn't stop for a while, and the short sword in his hand pierced into Xiao Ying's abdomen straight and straight.

"You!" Cheng Shu suddenly realized at this time, what sent someone to rob the prison to save him, what instructed him to kill the king, this is all a disguise, no wonder His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, who killed people like hemp, did not immediately send someone to kill him, originally the mother and son simply wanted to use him to clear their suspicions!

The two court lieutenants and eunuchs standing on the side rushed up together, swinging their swords and slashing twice behind him.

Cheng Shu let go of the hand holding the sword, knelt heavily on the ground, and then lay down straight, he had lost his breath, but his two eyes were still staring at Xiao Ying, which could be described as dead.

Xiao Ying had also fallen to the ground and was lying on the ground, although he was injured, his mind was still clear.

Qu Ping shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor's order!" Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor's order! ”

Xiao Daocheng had left all the bad things about Xiao Ying behind at this moment, and only remembered that he used his body to block the knife in order to protect him, he stumbled down, and called out: "Guang'er!" Light! ”

He sat down on the ground, helped Xiao Ying to sit up, and called: "Guang'er, don't sleep!" Don't sleep! Tai Yi Order! Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor's order! ”

Xiao Ying rested his head on Xiao Daocheng's lap and said with difficulty: "Father...... Cheng rate's matter is a son's ...... It was the son's failure to discipline him, the son's dereliction of duty, and the son's guilt...... The sons are guilty! He only said that he was derelict in his duties, but he did not say that he connived at his subordinates, and his words about Shicai seemed to be covering the crime, but in fact he was dissociating himself from the Cheng Rate case.

Zheng Hui stood aside, already frightened and stupid, all this happened too fast, he has only reacted so far, and as soon as his legs were weak, he collapsed on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Xiao Daocheng, and said: "The old minister did not realize that Cheng Shu had a murder weapon hidden on his body, which caused His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan to be injured, it was the old minister who was negligent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

The two court lieutenant eunuchs also knelt on the ground close to him, Sun Zao clearly remembered that when they escorted Cheng Shu back to the court lieutenant prison last night, he did not have a murder weapon on him, how could he ...... now Could it be......

Sun Zao was afraid of getting into trouble, and never mentioned that Yu Yuangui had brought someone to visit the prison last night.

"Get out! Get lost! Xiao Daocheng was so angry that his face turned pale, and he didn't mention dealing with Zheng Hui, just like this, Zheng Hui trembled with fright, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly retreated, and the two court lieutenants and eunuchs also followed back to the court bureau.

Xiao Ying was lying in Xiao Daocheng's arms, and suddenly his body sank, and he fainted, Xiao Daocheng was terrified, and urged: "What about the imperial doctor's order!" Why hasn't the Imperial Doctor's Order come yet! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Suddenly, hearing that the waiter answered in a hurry, Xiao Daocheng looked out of the door and saw that the imperial physician ordered Tao Hongjing to carry the medicine box in three steps and make two steps and hurriedly ran over.

Tao Hongjing checked Xiao Ying's injuries and said, "Please ask Your Highness to lie on the bed first." ”

When Xiao Daocheng heard this, he personally helped Xiao Ying to lie down on the bed in the west hall, and Tao Hongjing then carefully pulled out the short sword on his body, cleaned the wound for him, stopped the bleeding, and then applied medicine and bandaged.

A group of people watched, Xiao Daocheng asked, "How is the injury?" ”

Tao Hongjing replied: "The wound is not deep, fortunately it did not hurt the internal organs and tendons, as long as you recuperate, and when the wound heals, there will be no major problems." ”

Xiao Daocheng nodded reassuringly, and Tao Hongjing said again: "Wei Chen then went back to the Imperial Doctor's Office to write a prescription, and ordered someone to decoct the medicine and send it, His Royal Highness's wound has now been bandaged, and it is not appropriate to move much, so as not to touch the injury again, so Wei Chen suggested that His Royal Highness should first recuperate from his injuries in the Qiandian." ”

"Okay, I know," Xiao Daocheng responded again and again, and said: "You quickly go and order someone to decoct the medicine and send it, and you can't delay the injury by playing." ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Tao Hongjing just left, Xie Guifei came, today's events were all designed by her, and she also instructed Xiao Ying to block the sword for Xiao Daocheng, but now she pretended to come when she heard the news, looking frightened and sad.

Without the internal supervision at the entrance of the palace, she broke into the Qiandian Hall by herself, broke into the West Hall, and called with a slight cry: "Guang'er! Light! ”

Xiao Daocheng understands her as a mother, and he will not blame her for trespassing into the palace.

Xie Guifei saw that Xiao Daocheng and Qu Ping were gathered in front of the bed, so she also rushed over, and when she saw Xiao Ying covered in blood and her face was pale, she cried into tears, she immediately pounced, sat down on the ground, grabbed Xiao Ying's hand, and cried and said: "Guang'er, what's wrong with you, you can't scare your mother, your mother is only a son like you, if you have three long and two short, how can you call your mother to live......

Xiao Daocheng glanced at her, only sighed, and walked out with Qu Ping.
