Chapter Forty-Three: Imprisonment
Li Xiao's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they exploded on Yun Xiaoxiao's heart with a bang.
She looked at Li Xiao with wide eyes, her face incredulous. Let's not talk about anything else, this crusade against the Japanese invaders, Jun Ru's reputation is indispensable, how can he come back and end up with adultery.
Compared with Yun Xiaoxiao, Jun Ruyu is much calmer. He still looks unfazed, obviously in the face of capital crimes, but he doesn't care.
"I'll go by myself." Jun Ruyu coldly swept the guards around him. Li Xiao was about to refute, but seeing Jun Ruyu's cold gaze, Li Xiao couldn't help but shudder, and then asked the guards to retreat.
When the left and right monarchs were not imprisoned, they were still the three princes of Daxing. Li Xiao reacted, and he seemed to be a little arrogant.
"Later, you go to the gate of the Three Emperors' Mansion and wait, Mu Feng will come to pick you up." Jun Ruyu told Yun Xiaoxiao, and walked straight to the city.
Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to stop Jun Ruyu, but the words turned into a sigh when they came to their mouths. She knows some skills now, Jun Ruyu is not afraid of Yun Xiaoxiao being killed, after all, she is under the root of the imperial city, even if someone has a heart, but she does not have the courage.
When Jun Ruyu walked away, Yun Xiaoxiao was obedient and rushed to the Three Emperors' Mansion. The Three Emperors' Mansion has very few families, and it can really be regarded as deserted as far as the rest of the wealthy nobles are concerned. is now blocked, and people go to the empty building, which looks particularly desolate.
Yun Xiao was worried in her heart, and couldn't help but worry about the safety of Li'er and the little beggar.
"Cloud Girl."
Mu Feng came out of nowhere, and Yun Xiaoxiao, who was already frightened, was startled. She turned to look at the Pastoral Wind. "Do you know where the little beggar is?"
Yun Xiao frowned, and a pair of eyes looked at Mu Feng as if pleading.
"I'm going to take you to them now." The corners of Mu Feng's mouth raised slightly. Jun Ruyu suddenly had such an accident, and Mu Feng couldn't imagine it. All he can do now is take good care of Yun Xiaoxiao.
His master is the third prince, even if he has endured humiliation and burden, he has lived until now, how could he be killed by gangsters at this time. Mu Feng admired Jun Ruyu in his heart, and even felt that Jun Ruyu had great powers, and everything was difficult for him.
Yun Xiaoxiao followed Mu Feng to the outside of the city, and asked about Jun Ruyu on the way, but Mu Feng only said that he didn't know either.
In an ancient mansion under Jinyun Mountain, Li'er and the little beggar were standing at the door and looking. I heard that Yun Xiaoxiao came back today, and the two looked forward to it.
Since Jun Ruyu and Yun Xiaoxiao both disappeared on the battlefield, they haven't seen each other for a month.
"Little Miss!" Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao's figure from a distance, Li'er and the little beggar hurriedly greeted them, and the three of them reunited and immediately hugged each other.
When the mood eased a little, Yun Xiaoxiao looked the two up and down. Seeing that Li'er and the little beggar were not injured, he felt a lot more relieved.
"Little Miss, Sister Li'er and I want to take you to meet someone." The little beggar blinked slyly. Yun Xiaoxiao was in the fog, she looked at Li'er, but Li'er also nodded heavily.
"Go ahead." Mu Feng behind him chuckled, and Tongyun said slightly.
Li'er and the little beggar dragged Yun Xiaoxiao's hand into the house. Walking to the hall, Yun Xiaoxiao saw the figure sitting inside, and was instantly surprised.
"Chief Song!" Yun Xiaoxiao was in a trance. After the fire, she lost contact with Song Yan and stayed in the Three Emperors' Mansion all day, both going around and meeting Song Yan.
And she heard Mu Feng talk about it on the way, this house is a gentleman's reputation. Could it be that Cheng Jun is like a reputation and lets himself and Song Yan meet again?
"Xiaoxiao, long time no see." When Song Yan laughs, people are like a spring breeze, warm and moist like jade, and they are still white-clothed and snowy. Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly felt guilty about the burning of the medical hall, this Yun Xiaowan and Mu Nan are really hateful, just frame themselves, and even trap Song Yan.
Song Yan had a brief greeting with her, and when she talked about the current situation, she was more comfortable than staying in the hospital. He told Yun Xiaoxiao that he and Jun Ruyu were friends, and the reason why Jun Ruyu saved Yun Xiaoxiao from the fire last time was because Jun Ruyu went to the hospital to get medicine and happened to bump into him.
"What the hell is going on with the Third Prince? Why did he inexplicably be charged with adultery with the Japanese Bandits? Yun Xiaoxiao is worried about Jun Ruyu, adultery is a capital crime, what is Jun Ruyu's fate now, no one can decide.
Yun Xiaoxin pinched her hands and sweated finely, thinking that Jun Ruyu might be beheaded, her heart was as anxious as a fire.
"Ugh." Song Yan sighed slightly. It is also very helpless to mention this matter. "I heard that someone found evidence of the treason of the third prince, but no one knows who it is."
Found evidence of Jun Ruyu's guilt? Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly empty. "Could it be Munan?"
Mu Nan has been on the frontier for a few days, arrogant and domineering everywhere, and his dissatisfaction with Jun Ruyu is completely on the surface. Especially his legs are crippled, such a blow can be described as fatal, Mu Nan hates Jun Ruyu so much, and it is very likely that Jun Ruyu will be cut by a thousand knives.
No evidence could be found, and several people could only speculate. Song Yan asked Yun Xiaoxiao to live in this house with peace of mind, and wait until the emperor decides before making plans.
In the palace, Jun Ruyu knelt in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the emperor was sitting in front of him, and the queen was accompanied by the left and right, looking at Jun Ruyu's appearance at this time, his heart was happy.
"You are treason and adultery, and you secretly liaise with the Taiyuan Kingdom. Can you still be convicted? The emperor's tone was serious, and it could be seen that he was suppressing his anger.
"Erchen has never betrayed Daxing, I don't know what my father said." Jun Ruyu's face was expressionless, his eyes were deep and bottomless, and he looked straight at the emperor.
The emperor was suddenly furious, and threw the letter in his hand in front of Jun Ruyu.
"Isn't this necessarily your own handwriting? Isn't this your seal? You're still quibbling! Jun Ruyu, I am usually too used to you, so I asked you to be so presumptuous! The emperor roared angrily, and the frightened queen and Gonggong Zhang were all shocked.
"The emperor is angry, and his body is not worth it when he is angry." The queen came to her senses and patted the emperor on the back, gently comforting him.
Jun Ruyu picked up a handwritten book casually, and after looking at it a few times, his brows suddenly frowned slightly. He looked up at the emperor, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Do you still have to quibble?" The emperor snorted coldly. Jun Ruyu pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
"Treason and adultery are punishable." The emperor gritted his teeth, and when he said it, he was so fierce that it made people frightened. This is the capital crime that condemned Jun Ruyu.
"Someone!"
"Your Majesty!"
The emperor was just about to call someone to take Jun Ruyu down, when suddenly there was a woman's cry outside. Zhang Lanxin walked to the door and was dragged desperately by several guards.
At this time, Zhang Lanxin still had the appearance of everyone's ladies on weekdays, and she tried hard to break free and rush into the hall.
"Lan Xin." Seeing that the person who came turned out to be her favorite Zhang Lanxin, the queen suddenly stood upright, and her brows, which had been stretched, were also furrowed deeply.
"Let her in." The emperor ordered the guards outside the door in a stern voice.
Zhang Lanxin shook off the hands of several guards and trotted all the way to Jun Ruyu's side. Jun Ruyu's face was unwavering, as if he couldn't see Zhang Lanxin.
"You're here to speak for him?" The emperor raised his eyes slightly, and his emotions were incomprehensible. Zhang Lan's heart trembled, and when the emperor finished speaking, she knocked her head heavily.
"The emperor has always been withdrawn, and he has never ganged up with others, and there are few close people in the capital, let alone Taiyuan Kingdom. In this crusade against the Japanese invaders, the emperor did not receive a war report. The three princes bravely resisted the enemy and made great contributions. ”
Zhang Lan was very anxious, and a delicate face was crying pear blossoms with rain at this time. "The emperor knows the three princes best, but he can't wronged the three princes in vain because the villain framed him!"
"Zhang Lanxin!" Without waiting for the emperor to speak, the queen first angrily reprimanded Zhang Lanxin. "Do you know what he did wrong? The evidence is all in front of you, what kind of system have you become of the woman's kindness in the present situation! ”
Zhang Lanxin looked up at the queen, her face was already full of tears.
"Go down." The queen was helpless and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that he was angry and had not yet opened his mouth, the queen whispered to Zhang Lanxin. She wanted to save Zhang Lanxin, but Zhang Lanxin was sentenced to death by Jun Ruyu and lost her mind.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers know that it must have been the maidservant next to the third prince who killed her, she wears a veil every day, because she is afraid that people will see her original face. The third prince was bewitched by her, so he did something wrong. Yun Xiaoxiao's face suddenly appeared in Zhang Lanxin's mind, she was already tired of Yun Xiaoxiao, and at this time, she even pushed the fault onto Yun Xiaowan.
Jun Ruyu saw that Zhang Lanxin tried her best to intercede for herself, but she was still silent.
"Please ask the emperor to investigate!" Zhang Lanxin kowtowed again. There was a blood mark on her forehead, and her expression was full of anxiety and worry.
"Come on, put Jun Ruyu in the Zongren Mansion for me!" The emperor ignored Zhang Lanxin's request, and directly asked Jun Ruyu to take Jun Ruyu out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Zhang Lanxin, I measure Taiwei Zhang's loyalty, and secondly, if I look at the queen's face, I won't worry about you. If such an unreasonable thing happens again in the future, I will never spare you. The emperor stood up and slashed Zhang Lanxin.
Zhang Lan shuddered and knelt in the middle of the hall.
"It's the concubines who teach no way, and the emperor is angry." The queen interceded for Zhang Lanxin.
The emperor angrily threw off his sleeves and left the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the queen followed closely. For a while, Zhang Lanxin was the only one left in the hall, and she sat down, her thoughts in confusion.
In the past few days, the Three Emperors' Mansion has been sealed, and Zhang Lanxin is even more worried when she hears Taiwei Zhang and Zhang Hengshu talk about it. Even Mrs. Zhang, who has always supported her and is close to Jun Ruyu, told her to stay away from the Three Emperors' Mansion, Zhang Lanxin became more and more worried, and she was depressed all day long.
Hearing the news that Jun Ruyu was escorted to the palace at the gate of the city, Zhang Lanxin hurriedly rushed over.
"What can I do?" Zhang Lanxin said silently.
I don't know how long it took, Father-in-law Zhang couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and called Zhang Lanxin softly, telling her to go home earlier. Zhang Lanxin was in a daze along the way, and she cried when she thought of Jun Ruyu's death sentence.
For two or three days in a row, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't expect Jun Ruyu to come back. She was anxious and planned to go to the city to find out the news.
"Little Miss! Never! ”
