The crown prince was full of excitement, and then immediately said in words: "Erchen heard that there were assassins in the palace today, although fortunately there were no casualties among the nobles, but as the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by his father and prince, Erchen could not escape the blame. ”

The old emperor smiled mockingly, squinted his eyes at him and said, "Don't say pretty things anymore, if you really have this heart, you would have come to ask me for your guilt a long time ago, why did you come now?" ”

The prince buried his head very low, in order to hide his somewhat weak expression, and said: "Erchen is really shallow, and he has been arranging his subordinates to arrest the thief as soon as possible, and he will have time to ask his father for guilt in the future. ”

"That's enough, don't show your lame acting skills in front of me!" The old emperor slapped the table hard, and suddenly got up to look at the crown prince, and the oppressive aura peculiar to the king pounced heavily.

Only then did the prince really realize that even if Li Weihu was not caught, he was still so naked in front of the old emperor, and there was no possibility of covering up.

Even though he had realized this, although the prince's body was a little paralyzed, he still lowered his head and did not say a word.

He can't just kowtow and admit the dirty things he has done, right? If you really give everything and your inventory, then all the hardships you have suffered before will be in vain.

The old emperor glared at this unsuccessful son viciously, sighed deeply, and finally said slowly: "You explain it clearly now, I may be able to keep you a whole corpse." ”

As soon as he heard this, the prince's heart suddenly sank to the bottom - if he really told the truth, I am afraid that the old emperor would not be merciful.

Since it is death to say it or not to say it, the prince would rather die with a clean reputation. The old emperor is only guessing what he has done at present, even if he wants to punish him for capital crimes, he can only be accused of failing to govern the army, and when the time comes, his henchmen will work hard, maybe there is a possibility of returning.

Thinking of this, the prince's heart sank, and he said with his forehead on the ground: "Erchen really hasn't done anything to be sorry for you and the country, and I don't know where my father's anger comes from. ”

"Rebel!"

The old emperor was so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he actually spurted out a mouthful of blood, which instantly stained the white brocade spread out on the desk.

When the eunuch outside heard the movement, he hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm your anger, how can you do this, do you want to rush Princess Zhaochen to come?" ”

The old emperor's chest rose and fell violently, he covered his heart weakly, shook his head and said, "Don't look for her, go to the Tai Hospital to find Doctor An Jinhuai." ”

"Yes." The eunuch received the order, immediately turned around and walked out, shouting: "Xuantai Hospital Doctor An!" ”

The crown prince never expected the old emperor to be so angry, he raised his face and said curtly: "Father, you must take care of your body, don't get angry because of groundless things." ”

As he spoke, the doubt in the prince's heart suddenly rose. The old emperor has been suffering from lung disease, although he has taken the most expensive medicine, he has never heard of improvement, is it getting worse now?

The old emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "Since you don't want to tell me the truth, then I will take you back to the imperial city tomorrow, lock you up in the ancestral ancestral hall, give you the death penalty, and let you state your sins to your ancestors!" ”

The crown prince trembled, shook his head and said, "No, father, you can't wronged your son, your son was really wronged." ”

"Come on, take the prince down and imprison him!" The old emperor didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he gave the order directly.

"No, ......" The prince's long wail resounded in the palace, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

Early the next morning, the entire royal team knew that the situation had been reversed overnight, and the old emperor lifted King Chen's house arrest, but threw the crown prince into prison.

Although there is no clear rumor that the prince has made a mistake, combined with the recent assassination incident, a discerning person can see the problem at a glance.

Su Wan knew the progress of the matter, and naturally secretly laughed that the prince finally got the punishment he deserved, it seems that although the old emperor often does something lacking in virtue, it still has not reached the level of old eyes and ignorance of loyalty and treachery.

At the same time, the old emperor announced the early end of this private visit to the microservice, and the edict issued to the world was to pacify the war in the north as an excuse, in fact, the northern Xinjiang was well guarded by General Fu, and even ants did not dare to cross the border, where did the dispute come from.

It only took one day for the team of Weifu private interviews to return to the Jinluan Palace, and Xiao Mochen, who was released from house arrest, naturally resumed his identity as the general director of the army at the same time, wearing a moon-white military uniform, and greeted the return of the team outside the city gate.

Su Wan was very happy in her heart, and after settling the injured Qingyun, she found an opportunity to sneak to the front hall, and saw that Xiao Mochen was commanding the army for training, so she got up, stood on tiptoe and blindfolded him from behind, and said, "Guess who I am?" ”

The guards who were training all showed shocked looks, Xiao Mochen was always cold and unsmiling, he didn't expect that someone could play with him like this.

Xiao Mochen frowned slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Who else can there be?" It's probably the wife of this king's golden house. ”

"Yikes! How can you take advantage of people so much! Su Wan was a little shy, took his hand back, and said angrily.

Xiao Mochen turned around lightly, and when he saw Su Wan blushing behind him, his smile deepened, and at the same time, a deep longing surged from the depths of his heart, and he leaned over and hugged her without saying a word.

This sudden warm embrace caught Su Wan a little off guard, and she was suddenly surrounded by the full fragrance of sandalwood.

But when he thought that this was in the front hall, and there were so many guards watching with wide eyes below, Su Wan struggled twice with shame and anger.

Before Su Wan could speak, he only heard Xiao Mochen sigh deeply and said slowly: "Wan'er, I miss you so much." ”

These fluttering six words, spoken by Xiao Mochen's low and magnetic voice, and then transmitted to Su Wan's ears, turned into a demagogic magic sound, which touched her heart abnormally.

Su Wan's hand that wanted to struggle seemed to be pulled out of strength in an instant, turned into a soft cat's claw, and rested on Xiao Mochen's back.

Well, if you just be held quietly by him like this, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I've heard that Wan'er, in order to save me from danger, you personally went to ask my father for his life." Xiao Mochen said softly.

"A lot of things have happened recently, Qing Wan was almost killed by an assassin in the palace, she overheard that the assassination may be related to the prince......" Su Wan's heart was blocked with many things, and she couldn't wait to say it to Xiao Mochen at once.

Xiao Mochen had always wondered why the prince was taken as a prisoner, but now he understood when he heard Su Wan's words, but he said with some doubts: "Murong Li, who assassinated me, may be because of the Murong family's feud, but what does this have to do with the prince?" ”

These words made Su Wan confused, she naturally didn't know the deepest secret of the empire of the Murong clan, so she just tilted her head and said, "Isn't Murong Li the prince's subordinate?" ”

Looking at Su Wan's innocent face, Xiao Mochen smiled helplessly, but he didn't know where to start talking about the twists and turns in this, but said: "It shouldn't be, all the royal family are Murong Li's enemies, and he shouldn't be used by the prince." ”

Su Wan, who originally had a slight smile on his face, was now full of confusion and said, "Could it be that there is someone else behind the scenes?" Is the crown prince innocent? ”

Coming back all the way from the school, Su Wan's mood was still not calm for a long time. She thought that she would finally have an explanation for the development of things so far, but she didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns, and there was a momentum that the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop.

Although he has absolute confidence in Xiao Mochen, he has a lot of dreams at night, not to mention that there is such an old emperor who can change his mind at any time? The old emperor has one idea today, and tomorrow, it will be another idea, and he will accompany the king like a tiger, which is true.

Back at his residence, Su Wan went to Qingyun's room as soon as possible. When she was upset, Qingyun naturally thought of Qingyun, besides, her injuries were not healed, she was alone in the room on weekdays, and she didn't accompany her, what should she do?

But as soon as he pushed the door open, Su Wan saw that Qingyun had changed into his usual clothes and was walking slowly on the table.

"Why did you fall upside down, little hoof? The internal injury of the heart and the bone crack in the shoulder have not fully recovered, so it is time to recuperate. ”

Su Wan felt distressed when she saw it, stepped forward to support Qing Wan, who was staggering, and frowned and said strangely. Presumably, any doctor will have a headache when he sees such a patient who does not follow the doctor's instructions.

Qing Wan shrank her head a little embarrassed, looked at Su Wan sincerely and said, "Princess, our subordinates are not more expensive than nobles, and the injury is not a big deal, and the good is fast." If I can't get out of bed and do something for you, I'm afraid there will be people in the party who will say that you indulge in the gossip of your servant. ”

In this era, the lives of subordinates are as cheap as tissue paper, even if they are the henchmen and servants of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, they can only make a fortune when they are on duty, and if they cannot continue to work due to physical reasons, they will lose all their value and will be discarded as garbage.

This is also why everyone obviously heard that there was a maidservant in the palace who was seriously injured, but they still had to say "fortunately, there were no casualties", and the lives of the next people could not be counted among ordinary people at all.

Even if Su Wan feels sorry for Qing Wan, there are countless pairs of eyes in the entire palace staring at the dynamics of King Chen's Mansion, if he doesn't handle it well, it will provoke more tongues. This is the case in the palace, which makes people free.

Su Wan also understood in her heart that this was all Qingyun thinking about herself, so she couldn't help but be a little moved, helped her sit on the edge of the bed, sighed and said: "Qingyun, you are my maidservant, I will naturally treat you like a sister, and I will protect you in everything." ”

"The slave and maid are the same to the princess! The slave didn't want the princess to suffer any damage because of my affairs, and hoped that the princess wouldn't love me too much. Qing Wan shook her head vigorously and was about to get up from the bed. Unlike Su Wan, who was "halfway home", Qingyun grew up in this environment since she was a child, and many rules have long been engraved in her blood and bones.

Even if Su Wan didn't care, she didn't dare not care.

"If you do this again, I'm going to be angry."

Su Wanxing's eyes widened, glared at Qing Wan, then turned her head and sighed wistfully, and said, "What has happened recently is too much, don't make trouble for me here." ”

After all, after following Su Wan for a long time, Qing Wan suddenly saw that her emotions seemed to be wrong, and hurriedly asked the reason with concern. At the same time, he sat down slowly, no longer moving in confusion. Of course, she knew that Su Wan wanted to see how she was.

"The thief has been caught, the prince has been blamed, right now, what else worries the princess?"

After all, Qingyun is not in the whirlpool, and what he can see is really limited. In her opinion, everything is developing according to the situation that is favorable to King Chen's Mansion.

Su Wan didn't want the sick Qingyun to know about these disturbances, but there was really no confidant around her who could confide in her, so in desperation, she told Qingyun all the causes and consequences of the matter.

Moreover, Su Wan does have some expectations for Qingyun, and in the past, Qingyun can always provide him with some unexpected ideas. This time, you may be able to gain something.

In the process of listening, Qing Yun's face changed several times, and after listening to it all, he said with some surprise: "Since the Murong clan has a deep blood feud with the imperial family, presumably even if he is caught, he will not confide in half a word. ”

"Exactly." Su Wan shook his head and said, "The prince just told me that the interrogation of Murong Li has lasted for three days, and he still hasn't asked anything. ”

"In that case, why didn't the prince not torture him, or directly take his life?" Qing Wan suddenly asked. There are many kinds of torture in the palace, even if it is a copper pea, I am afraid that it can be steamed and boiled, not to mention Murong Li's flesh and blood?

"Huh?" Su Wan was a little surprised, Qing Wan, who had always been docile and well-behaved, actually said such a ruthless method directly, and couldn't help but look at her twice before saying: "The prince is sympathetic to the only descendant of the Murong clan, and he is naturally unwilling to torture, but now that the old emperor has also come to the Jinluan Palace, I am afraid that Murong Li will soon suffer from flesh and skin." ”

It is well known that the old emperor was the most ruthless in dealing with traitors and war criminals, and invented many horrific tortures. In order to be able to get the information he wanted from Murong Li in the end, presumably the old emperor would definitely do it.

And this is what Su Wan is even more worried about. If the old emperor succeeds, isn't it because of Xiao Mochen's incompetence? Even if it was because of the use of punishment, I am afraid that it was wisdom that made the old emperor label Xiao Mochen as a woman's benevolence in his heart. This will definitely not be beneficial to Xiao Mochen in the future.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that Murong Li be very pitiful?"

After all, Qingyun is still a soft-minded twenty-eight girl, and she just said a cruel word, and now she feels sorry for this prisoner she has never met. She seemed to have forgotten that this "poor man" was also an assassin who came to assassinate, if he succeeded, Xiao Mochen would die, and Su Wan Qingyun would be martyred.

Su Wan's face was also a little heavy, and he said slowly: "Yes, I heard that the prince said that Murong Li has been suffering from epilepsy since he was a child, and the latest chapter of the "Runaway Princess is very free to read for free" for the first time.
