Chapter 21 Going to the Holy Age

The news of his detention immediately spread throughout Shangshu Mansion, and Ling'er staggered back last night, crying loudly and telling the lord and his wife, who fainted directly after hearing about it.

"This kid, how could she go to that place? Ling'er, you and I tell the truth, who took you there? Li Qiankun said very anxiously, his face as ugly as a volcanic eruption.

"It was the second prince who took the young lady there, and the second prince and the young lady were imprisoned in the prison of the Supervision Department together." After Ling'er said this, she still couldn't stop crying.

"Xiao Ran, how did you meet the second prince? Entering the forbidden land, this is a capital crime! Li Qiankun was paralyzed on the ground, looked up to the sky and said with a long sigh and a wry smile.

"The last time I met an assassin in the palace, the person who claimed to be the leader of the forbidden army was the second prince, and he was the one who saved us."

"I understand, I'll go in and face the saint right away, and I'll bring Xiao Ran back when I die today!"

Li Qiankun's eyes showed a firm gaze, and there was a generous aura on his body tightly surrounded, looking at Li Qiankun's face of dying, as if rushing to the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country.

A few rays of the sun shone there, but they were swallowed up by the boundless darkness, and there was not a single ripple on the broken mud wall, and there was like a coffin sitting in this remote corner, low and full of depression, and there was a prison that no one cared about.

"Why did you take me there? Are you fixing me? Li Xiaoran had a kind of fire in his stomach that couldn't come out, and he felt that what he had experienced was unbelievable.

"How do I know that there is usually no one in that place, and besides, that place is quite quiet, and there are the best books in my Ming Kingdom, don't you enjoy it here?" Xuanyuan Qinghe said innocently, as if he was not in prison.

"That's another thing, now that we're all in the cell, what am I going to do!" As Li Xiaoran spoke, tears the size of beans kept swirling in his eyes, as if they were about to break through the barrier.

"How do I know, I'm the prince, I'm not the same as being arrested, wait for death slowly!" Xuanyuan Qinghe spread his hands at Li Xiaoran and shook his head gently, indicating that he had nothing to do.

"I feel like you're deliberately manipulating me, you're definitely doing it on purpose!" Li Xiaoran is very emotional now, because he will die soon!

"It's really not, it won't be a big deal, I'm the prince, your father and mother are people with status, we won't die, at most a lighter punishment!"

Xuanyuan Qinghe said helplessly, she wants to comfort Li Xiaoran now, she looked at Li Xiaoran's eyes, there were already tears flashing, if this is not coaxed, it is estimated that it will be over.

And Li Xiaoran thought at this moment in his heart: When he came back, a new life began, thinking that everything would go smoothly, but he didn't expect that now that he was in a prison cell, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, such an experience was more fake than the characters in the novel.

"Knock, knock!"

There were many prisoners in the cell, and the vast majority of them were ragged prisoners who had committed great things, and they were venting about themselves all the time.

After Li Xiaoran and the others entered the prison yesterday, there was a white-bearded old man who looked at Li Xiaoran and showed salivation.

Crashed directly into the cell door, trying to break through the barrier, if it weren't for the guards in the cell, the old man would probably have rushed out. Later, I heard other people's prisoners explain that they had been locked up in the old man for forty years, and they had never seen a woman in the past forty years.

There are also people, although they are in rags, but they do not indulge themselves in the cell, unlike other prisoners, who have a meal after meal, they will recite poems in the dark cell, and talk loudly about their dreams, even if they know!

"Once you enter the palace gate, you don't have to have a moment in life, if you can get the position of a sage, why bother to be this courtier!"

This is exactly what a prisoner said yesterday, Li Xiaoran felt deeply after listening to it, this is exactly what although there are thousands of horses, there is no Bole!

Xuanyuan Qinghe also heard it, but he had no choice, his current self couldn't change anything, but Xuanyuan Qinghe himself had no intention of going to that "position".

"Open the door, someone wants to see them!" A voice came from inside the dark cell, but immediately someone in the cell shouted, "Let me out!" I'm innocent! Please let me out, I still have my family! ”

The people who came in completely ignored all this, as if there was no sound and the world was quiet.

Li Xiaoran saw everyone who wanted to see him, but found that this person turned out to be the person who called them last time, Shen Luo, the superintendent of the department.

Shen Luo saw that the two people detained in the cell were stupid, and his hands were on the iron door of the cell, as if they were still.

"I'll go! Why are you two in it, I just said who was locked up, and I had to come to trial, it was actually you two! Isn't that hilarious? ”

Shen Luo's expression changed from confusion at the beginning, and he slowly laughed, still the kind of smile that couldn't be closed.

"Uh, you're laughing! See if I still don't get me out? Xuanyuan Qinghe coughed a few times dryly and said angrily.

"Can you get the two of us out? It's okay if you don't save two people, just save me alone. Li Xiaoran asked with a sincere face, the expression of biting his lip, "sad" and incredulous.

Xuanyuan Qinghe plucked his ears with his hands, he couldn't believe what his ears heard, so he immediately retorted: "What do you mean to save only you, can't I save you?" Where did you put me? ”

Although Xuanyuan Qinghe was looking forward to Li Xiaoran's reply, Li Xiaoran twisted his head and directly ignored these words.

Li Xiaoran just joked like this, but now he is very angry with the man in front of him, it is this man who let himself live in the cell for no reason, and ignoring him is a punishment for him.

"I was sent by the emperor to try you two! You two are saying this to bribe me? I'm a good officer who is innocent and pitiful! ”

Shen Luo reluctantly said the purpose of his trip, and euphemistically introduced himself as a good official, which was simply "not very shameful!" ”

"By the way, I know the second prince, who are you?" Shen Luo and Li Xiaoran chatted for so long, but they didn't know who this woman was.

"The daughter of the military department, Li Xiaoran." Without waiting for Li Xiaoran to open his mouth, Xuanyuan Qinghe took the first step to say it, made a grimace at Li Xiaoran, and smiled.

Li Xiaoran thought in his heart: It's not that I don't know how to say it, I don't even leave this opportunity to me, I don't consider my feelings at all, straight man of steel!

"I see, but what are you doing in the Imperial Library? Then you are a forbidden place, you should know this second prince! ”

Shen Luo was very puzzled in his heart, obviously the second prince knew that it was a forbidden place, but he wanted to bring someone over, and it happened to be found, do you say it was a coincidence?

"I want to take her there for a walk, I know it's a forbidden place, but I also touched it in advance, the ghost knows that the Imperial Guards rushed in just a while, it's just impossible to prevent it, when the assassins came, if they had such a fast protection speed, I would be thankful!"

Xuanyuan Qinghe introduced his "motive for the crime" flatly, and he couldn't bear to complain about the Imperial Guard, but indeed, the last time the Imperial Guard's actions were too busy!

"Then I know, I can't ask anything anyway, I didn't plan to ask, I will cut it off on my own as ordinary people, and you are different, come with me to the Jinluan Palace, the emperor and the ministers want to see you, come with me."

Shen Luo helped them remove the anklets and accompanied them to meet the emperor.

"By the way, you're the same age as us, how did you get to the position of the inspector of the office?" Li Xiaoran felt that Shen Luo was definitely not ordinary, but he couldn't see it, it was just a feeling.

Li Xiaoran's body crossed over is just 18 years old this year, and it is the age of Tao Li and Li Li, but because Qinghe is 20 years old this year, it is the year of Ruoguan, and Shen Luo is the same age as Xuanyuan Qinghe.

"My father, Shen Qingyi, is the previous Supervision Division, and my father left me at a very young age, so I will inherit his position now." After Shen Luo helped them untie the anklet, he said indifferently.

The Supervision Department is the highest power control center of the entire Supervision Department, and is in charge of the Supervision Department in four places. One is responsible for the monitoring and handling of the subjects in Bianjing, the second is responsible for burying the secret line and cultivating the dead, and the third is responsible for assassination, and four are responsible, a mysterious army "Shenlongwei." ”

"At that time, there will be a lot of officials in the Jinluan Palace, remember not to talk nonsense when the time comes, I am here for the good of the two of you, and the emperor is estimated to take the two of you under the knife." Shen Luo reminded them carefully, and Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe seemed to ignore this passage and continued to talk about themselves.

Walking under the palace with big brown and red pillars together, Shen Luo stopped when he was about to reach the Jinluan Palace, turned his head and said to the two behind him: "You are waiting here now, let me go in and say a word first." ”

Soon after Shen Luo entered the Jinluan Palace, the voice of a eunuch immediately came, and the voice seemed to be very similar to Zhao Gao's father-in-law, still as charming as ever.

"Xuanxuan Yuan Qinghe, Li Xiaoran enters the hall!"

Li Xiaoran was not nervous at first, but when he heard the name shouting for the two of them to go in, he suddenly became scared in his heart, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and his heart hung in front of him.

Xuanyuan Qinghe's eyes unconsciously drifted to Li Xiaoran, and when he saw her trembling appearance, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I have you covered!" It's okay, we'll be fine! ”

Li Xiaoran felt a little better after being comforted, and she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was still very careful, and even I was in a bad mood at this time. But then a voice came.

"What are you two still messing with? Don't hurry up and come in! Shen Luo walked to the gate, waved his hand and shouted loudly for them to come!
