I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and Wen Zhao was obviously so frightened that he even forgot to salute, and just stood there with me.

"You and the old five secret pass qu king, but I have heard of it. It's just the brother-sister relationship with General Wen, and this is the first time I've heard of it. Gong Wei smiled and leaned over, "Lian, oh no... Miss Ling'er, you are really the number one strange person. ”

"What did you hear..."

"I've heard everything I want to hear, and I don't know how much your brother and sister have said."

I squinted at Wen Zhao's waist, but I didn't see anything.

"Miss Ling'er is looking for a sword, do you want to destroy the mouth of this king?" As if reading my thoughts, Gong Wei smiled and sighed, "Are you really stupid enough to think that if you kill this king here, you and your brother will be able to get out of the way?" ”

"We can't get out of the whole body, so it's not worth it to exchange our lives for you."

"You and I have fought several times, and we know each other well, so don't say anything about bluffing. If you were willing to exchange your life with me, you would have changed it a long time ago, so why choose to take your brother today? ”

"What do you want?"

"Are you scared?" Gong Wei smiled more and more frantically, "Lian Gui Hotaru, this king has never seen you scared." Your expression is really good-looking. ”

"What the hell do you want?"

"Now that the king knows anything, he naturally does whatever he wants. It's just that this king can't understand why you have never told anyone about your brother-sister relationship with General Wen? ”

Wen Zhao finally couldn't help it, and barely held up a smiling face: "Third Highness, you misunderstood, the last general and Miss Lian-"

"- Yes. His surname is Wen, and you are his sister, so naturally his surname is also Wen. Gong Wei narrowed his eyes, "It's the surname of the former dynasty again, and it's the rebel of the tail sect, and it's another wall to charm the prince and collude with the fifth brother." Lian, you weave this net so big, aren't you afraid of being cocooned? ”

"Who are you to say about me? Do you do less things behind the emperor's back than I do? I forced myself to say, "You know, you just know." Do you think that if you tell the emperor, he will believe you? ”

"Won't he?"

Gong Wei smiled so firmly, so determined that it made people's hairs stand on end. He raised his hand, and the two boys behind him let go of Guan Ju. Guan Ju stumbled and hurriedly ran behind me.

"Girl... I'm sorry girl, but the slave didn't—"

"Tonight was really starry. This king has not seen such a beautiful starry sky in this brightly lit palace for a long time. "Spring is coming, the clouds have dispersed, and even the stars are bright." Lian Gui Hotaru, there are some things that you can't get in if you don't want to cover them. ”

Gong Wei finally smiled gloomily at me and Wen Zhao, and then turned around and went to the Qingxuan Hall without looking back.

I looked back at Wen Zhao mechanically, and there was not a trace of blood on his face under the starlight.

That night, Wen Zhao and I returned to the Qingjiao Hall with trepidation, but we saw the singing and dancing in the hall as before. The palace curtain enjoyed the singing and dancing as if nothing had happened, and the emperor had drunk three rounds, and he was already so drunk that he dozed off on the desk with his chin propped up.

The imperial physician dismissed the ministers on the grounds that the emperor's old illness had not been cured and it was not appropriate to stay up late due to alcoholism. The way back to the Prince's Mansion with Guan Ju Pujia was also very strangely calm.

After closing the door, I impatiently told Pu Jia what had happened tonight. She was also shocked when she heard it, and she didn't know what the palace curtain was doing.

Grabbing my handle and not having a seizure is by no means his style.

"Perhaps... The emperor is too drunk today, and the third prince thinks this is not the best time to expose you? ”

"Yes!" Guan Ju clapped his palms and said, "Today, Lord Lihou, Lord Wen and the five princes are all here, and the three princes really don't have the certainty of putting the girl to death in one fell swoop." And in front of the ministers... He calculated that the emperor would not punish the girl heavily! ”

"That's just speculation. If this is the case, the Third Highness will enter the palace alone tomorrow to meet the emperor. Pu Jia frowned, looked at me and comforted me gently: "Girl, don't worry, the slave will send someone to watch the movements of Prince Huan's mansion." As long as the three princes enter the palace tomorrow, the slave will notify you as soon as possible! ”

I was anxious, but there was nothing I could do. had to go down for the time being, and was waited for by Guan Ju and Pu Jia to fall asleep.

I didn't sleep well that night.

The early spring dawned early, and I had gotten up at dawn, freshened up, dressed, and prepared to hear the news of the palace drapery. But the sky grew brighter; Guan Ju and Pu Jia got up and went into the house to add charcoal; Breakfast is served in the kitchenette...... Time was as slow and tormented as a snail crawling past the tip of a needle, and until the end of the day, the Prince's Mansion was still unsettling and deadly silent.

"—Go, go! The Three Princes went! ”

There was a sound of swift footsteps in the courtyard. I was the first to hear it, and I hurriedly pushed the door open. Sure enough, a little guy dressed in ordinary people's clothes rushed into the courtyard, and when he saw me, he fell to his knees with a thud, panting and said, "Even girl! The third prince is out of the house, and looking at the direction of the car, he is going to the palace! ”

Cold sweat suddenly fell on my body, and I subconsciously walked out. My wrist was grabbed, and I looked back, but it was Guan Ju who was pulling my cuffs tightly.

"Girl, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go, it's naturally in the palace!"

"But what's the use of you going to the palace now..."Pu Jia also chased out and said anxiously, "The third prince didn't get any real evidence last night, and the emperor only looks at the evidence, so he must not be able to sue you!" ”

"-I don't care, but what about Wen Zhao, he just built a military merit and returned to the dynasty!" I was so anxious that I jumped to my feet, "The emperor has deliberately alienated the palace curtain over the years because of his high merits, and Wen Zhao's surname is Wen, which makes the emperor jealous, how can he prevent the palace curtain from fanning the flames!" ”

Guan Ju's hand holding my cuff still tightened tightly: "Even if General Wen is in danger, what's the use of you going, it's not that you're messing around, but being suspected!" ”

"What's the use of talking about this now," I shook off the hand of the juju and strode towards the courtyard gate, "It's not the first time I've been suspected by the emperor, I can't let the palace curtain attack Wen Zhao!" ”

"But—"

"-Since the girl is going, let's go, as long as we don't refute the third prince!"

Pu Jia ran up with difficulty to catch up with me, and looked at my eyes firmly: "The slave understands that the girl is anxious, and no matter how you persuade you now, you will not listen." It's just that we have to find a reason for the saint, otherwise, as Guan Ju said, entering the palace recklessly like this is really tantamount to giving the words of the third prince as a witness! ”

"Is there anything you can do about it?"

"The three princes have entered the palace, and the emperor is preconceived. If you want to settle one thing, you have to make another bigger thing than it..."

Pu Jia's mind turned quickly, looked behind me and said, "Guan Ju, you immediately go to the Hou Mansion to report to Lord Lihou, and ask the Hou Ye to prepare a false confession from His Royal Highness the Prince." Let's just say... Let's just say that the prince said that he never sent anyone to ambush the five princes from beginning to end, and everything was done by the three princes. And that night, it was also the third prince who killed Li Yuanwai and blamed the East Palace! ”

"It's... For the sake of our girl's safety, it is not difficult for Master Hou to make a false confession. But..."Guan Ju rubbed his hands hesitantly, "But such a big lie, if the Hou Ye says it for the girl, the emperor must investigate thoroughly." At that time, there is no evidence, isn't it implicated in Lifu again? ”

"It's all burning eyebrows, where can you take care of so much!" Pu Jia hurriedly said, "It's a big deal to let the Hou Ye go to the ghost prison and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards." The emperor favors the East Palace, as long as we bite the three princes to death in unison, even if there is no evidence, the emperor will send someone to re-investigate the case, and then a charter will come down, and there will be time to prepare anything. It's just that... That's just it......"

My heart sank: "In this way, the palace is about to be released, right?" ”

"Girl... The slave and maid understand that you have finally escaped from the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they do not want him to return to the house again. Pu Jia was embarrassed and distressed, "It's just that there is no other way, if you want to protect General Wen, you have to put your own safety at risk." You have to think about it, would you be will-"

"—I do." I didn't hesitate for a moment, "My brother also risked his own safety to help me escape from Lifu, and now it's my turn to protect him." Guan Ju, you just do what Pu Jia said, go to the West Market to find Master Hou. Pu Jia, you will enter the palace with me immediately, and you will have the right to drag the palace curtain. ”

"Yes!"

The three of us went out of the house immediately, Guan Ju rode his horse to the West City, and Pu Jia and I got into the soft sedan chair and went to the palace at full speed.

This way, after my continuous urging, the sedan chair driver walked very fast. After arriving at the Yanling Hall in a blink of an eye, I got off the sedan chair and ran to the inner palace. Pu Jia couldn't keep up with my speed, and after running a few steps, she was tired and panting.

"You go slowly, I'll go to the Xuan Palace first, and then come in to find me when you arrive!"

"—Hey! Girl... You can, but don't be obtrusive... Tang suddenly said the wrong thing! ”

Pu Jia shouted loudly, but I could hear it, and ran to the end of the long street.

This car ran to the palace and stopped suddenly, slightly brushing away the fine beads of sweat oozing from the sideburns on his forehead. So I walked to the old eunuch at the gate of the palace.

"Father-in-law He Quan, is the emperor here?"

"Even girl?" He Quan looked at me who was panting with strange eyes, and bowed falsely, "His Royal Highness said that he had something important to tell the emperor." At the moment, only the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness are accompanying them, and they have not yet come out. ”

My heart suddenly tightened: "Let me in!" ”

He Quan clamored to stop me, but where could he stop me. Knocking over a few little eunuchs guarding the gate of the Daodao Palace, I turned around and knelt down across the screen of the inner hall.

"-Your Majesty, you can't listen to what the third prince says!"

A drop of sweat seeped through the finely drawn eyebrows and slid into my eyes, and I endured the sourness and raised my eyes to look at the emperor on the couch. But I saw that he really looked at me with a shocked face, and his stagnant eyes seemed to contain anger and disgust that almost melted.
