Chapter 44: To each his own mind
Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to go out, but the little beggar hurriedly stopped her. Now that the limelight of adultery and treason is flourishing, coupled with Yun Xiaoxiao's special identity, if he is calculated by the gangsters, it will be difficult to protect himself.
Ke Yun Xiaoxiao has been waiting in the house for the past few days, and she is more and more worried about Jun Ruyu's safety, where can she take care of herself.
"Little beggar, you go back first. I'm just going to find out how the three princes are doing, and I'll be back in a while. Yun Xiaoxiao turned around and gently touched the little beggar's head. It's not a way for her to wait now, Jun Ruyu has a cold temperament, and she wants someone to save him.
Yun Xiaoxiao thought about it, only he took risks to see if he could find a way to rescue Jun Ruyu.
"But Master Song said that you can't go out." The little beggar frowned. He is only eight or nine years old, and the little beggar doesn't understand these things, he only knows that Yun Xiaoxiao will be in danger when he goes out.
Yun Xiaoxiao was just about to open his mouth to comfort the little beggar, but Song Yan came with his back hand. Dressed in white, Song Yan and Jun Ruyu both have a casual temperament. Even if the flint falls on the instep of the foot, I'm afraid the two of them will not have any waves.
"Chief Song." Yun Xiaoxiao's expression was serious. The little beggar clutched Yun Xiaoxiao's sleeve tightly and refused to let Yun Xiaoxiao leave. That was Song Yan secretly told him that if Yun Xiaoxiao went out, he would definitely suffer for his life.
The little beggar was still young, and he was instantly frightened by Song Yan's words.
"The little beggar is right, if you go out, if something happens to you, it will cause chaos for the three princes." The corners of Song Yan's mouth rose slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were like jade, and he spoke softly and softly.
Yun Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant when she heard this. "But!" But you can't watch Jun Ruyu being guillotined. Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.
"What's more, it was the idea of the third prince to let you stay in the mansion. No matter how good my relationship with him is, my identity is not as good as his. Is it not necessary for me to disobey the orders of the Three Princes? Song Yan persuaded Yun Xiaoxiao to stay again.
Jun Ruyu has always acted calmly, if he is not allowed to do it, it is okay if he does it, but if something happens, he will not be reasonable.
Yun Xiaoxiao thought about it, so she had to nod her head.
"What about the three princes? He hasn't heard from him at all now, and he must have been locked up in the Zongren Mansion. The entire Three Emperors' Mansion has been sealed, and it seems that the emperor has recognized it. Yun Xiaoxiao was anxious. Now that Jun Ruyu has been arrested, I don't know if he has colleagues in the government and the opposition. What if there was no one to speak for him?
"He knows it." Song Yan only replied lightly, and then said no more. Yun Xiaoxiao had no choice but to wait for news in the house.
Jun Ruyu's imprisonment shocked the government and the opposition, and no one thought that the three princes, who had always been withdrawn, would do such a bold thing.
"This time, Jun Ruyu is afraid that he will not escape death." Munan gloated and smiled happily.
He was in a wheelchair, and Yun Xiaowan fed him medicine. Since Mu Nan returned to the capital, he has never been to the early dynasty, and the matter of Jun Ruyu being imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion was told to him by General Mu.
"Adultery is condemned to the country, which can be the same as the crime of plotting to usurp the throne." The corners of Yun Xiaowan's mouth rose slightly. She originally thought that after marrying Mu Nan, she would be the young lady of the General's Mansion, and she would be glorious and rich from then on, and she would enjoy endless benefits. Unexpectedly, less than a year after getting married, Mu Nan broke his legs.
When Yun Xiaowan thought of serving Mu Nan every day for decades to come, she felt irritable for no reason. But after all, she still lives in the General's Mansion, and leaving now will definitely make everyone look disdainful, Yun Xiaowan has a courteous look on her face.
"This leg of mine is a gift from him!" Munan gritted his teeth and yelled in hatred. He remembered that day on Tiger Roaring Mountain, he was clearly about to defeat that ugly maid, and he ended up killing a gentleman halfway.
If he didn't dare to let everyone know that he was going out to kill people and kill people, Mu Nan would definitely expose Jun Ruyu. Thinking about the grievances he suffered, now that Jun Ruyu has been arrested, Mu Nanquan should be his retribution for harming himself.
Yun Xiaowan looked down at Mu Nan's legs, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. When he raised his head, he changed into a virtuous and gentle face. "Don't be angry. He is a wicked man, and he has evil retribution. Let's live our lives well in the future. ”
With that, Mu Nan pulled Yun Xiaowan into his arms. Because Mu Nan could only sit, Yun Xiaowan had to squat half-squat. She's bored, but she's not good at it.
"Hello anyway." Mu Nan wrapped one hand tightly around Yun Xiaowan's waist. "I thought you'd hate me for being disabled, but you treated me better. How can I, Munamhod, marry you? Munan said, his tone a little choked.
Yun Xiaowan had to pretend to be affectionate and complain to Mu Nan. Fortunately, although Mu Nan's legs are crippled, he is still the young master of the General's Mansion. Yun Xiaowan still has a place to use him, and she will not give up pretending.
Besides, even if she is now and divorced, she will definitely end up with a hypocritical and selfish name in front of outsiders. Yun Xiaowan tried her best to force Yun Xiaoxiao to death, but not to end up in this fate.
"Fortunately, I chose you at the beginning, and I didn't choose to be with Yun Xiaoxiao." Mu Nan was still sighing, but Yun Xiaowan was already a heart-atheree.
Jun Ruyu was locked up in the Zongren Mansion for three or four days, and the emperor's attitude was resolute, and there was no room for reversal. What's even worse is that now looking at the government and the opposition, no one dares to speak for the king's reputation.
It seems that Jun Ruyu's beheading is an ironclad thing, Zhang Lanxin begged the Taiwei and Zhang Hengshu to nothing, and had no choice but to go to the queen to intercede.
In Jinhua Palace, the queen half leaned on the case. Seeing her calm and relaxed appearance, she naturally didn't take Jun Ruyu to heart.
Jun Ruyu is the son of Concubine Shu, in the past, she and Concubine Shu were tense, and there were disputes in this harem. Now that she committed suicide and her only son was convicted of treason, the queen was too late to be happy, how could she worry about it.
"Queen Mother, Lan Xin, please save the three princes." Zhang Lanxin's eyes were red, and her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes. She raised her eyes and glanced at the queen, who looked lazy and ignored Zhang Lanxin at all.
Zhang Lanxin didn't come to the palace to visit for several days, and as soon as she came, she had something to ask. The queen hasn't lost her breath yet.
"The Queen." Zhang Lanxin choked, and when she saw that the queen did not react, she shouted again. She was also desperate, so she dared to come to ask the queen to come forward.
Zhang Lanxin is cautious and has a reputation, although she is jealous, but this feeling is real.
"Do you know what crime Jun Ruyu has committed? If this palace intercedes for him in front of the emperor, isn't it setting himself on fire? The queen's eyes glanced slightly, and she looked unimpressed.
Zhang Lanxin grew up watching her since she was a child, but the queen didn't expect that Zhang Lanxin's liking for Jun Ruyu was really not child's play. The last time he dared to speak out to the emperor, it was really bold.
"The Third Prince would not do such a thing. How could he betray Daxing! Zhang Lan shook her head again and again. It must have been someone who was jealous of his courage and resourcefulness and his great achievements on the battlefield, so he was framed. ”
As soon as Zhang Lanxin's words fell, the queen looked out of the hall fiercely. She frowned tightly and glared at Zhang Lanxin.
"What can you say? If someone with a heart hears about it, and you are convicted of disturbing people's hearts, you will go to the Zongren Mansion with your three princes to stay! The queen was a little angry, and she spoke harshly to Zhang Lanxin.
Zhang Lanxin shuddered with fright, and lowered her head again.
She didn't know why Jun Ruyu was charged with treason after the army came back from the frontier, but Zhang Lanxin never believed that Jun Ruyu would do such a rebellious thing.
The queen's words were naturally not alarmist. There is a dead person in this palace today, and a dead person tomorrow, and no one will take them seriously. Not to mention doing something wrong, even if you don't say it right, it can also cost people their lives.
Zhang Lanxin is already willful, relying on the queen's favor and lawlessness, and now she is anxious about Jun Ruyu, and she is even more open-mouthed when she speaks.
"Don't talk about it in front of this palace. Jun Ruyu's capital crime is decided. Even if the king of heaven asks for it, the emperor will not change his mind. The queen snorted coldly and sat up from the front of the collapse. Take heed to yourselves, lest you bring harm to your family. ”
"You should remember what the emperor said last time. The emperor didn't care, it was for the sake of Taiwei Zhang's face, Hengshu was a young talent, and he participated in the battle several times at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and it could be seen that the emperor attached great importance to it. If you hurt your father and your brother because of you, even the palace won't be able to help you then! ”
The queen looked at Zhang Lanxin with a serious face. These words really worked, and Zhang Lan's frightened Mu Zaiyuan couldn't speak.
Coming out of Jinhua Palace, Zhang Lan's heart was in a trance. The queen's words echoed in her ears over and over again, but Zhang Lanxin couldn't bear to watch Jun Ruyu die.
Passing through the long palace wall, Zhang Lan was uncertain, and she didn't even notice that Jun Zhiyao was coming towards her.
"What are you thinking?" Jun Zhi's sudden inquiry frightened Zhang Lan's heart. She hurriedly came back to her senses and subconsciously staggered back half a step.
Seeing this, Jun Zhiyao reached out to help, but Zhang Lanxin shook his hand away as if he had touched a hot potato.
"The Five Princes." Zhang Lanxin saluted Jun Zhiyao, her face became more and more red, and she was very happy to see Jun Zhiyao. He couldn't help but want to pinch Zhang Lanxin's cheek, but Zhang Lanxin seemed to avoid it.
"The fifth prince, please respect yourself." Zhang Lanxin frowned tightly. She knew that it was not a good thing to meet Jun Zhiyuan.
"Uninteresting." Jun Zhiyao snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left. Zhang Lan's heart suddenly sounded Jun Zhiyao's identity, he is the fifth prince, if Jun Zhiyao is willing to intercede, the effect should be the same as that of the queen.
"Five Princes!" Zhang Lanxin suddenly turned around and shouted to Jun Zhiyao. Jun Zhiyao was stunned, and turned back with some doubts.
"Can you help, go and beg the emperor. The three princes were exempted from capital crimes. Zhang Lanxin bit her lip tightly and looked embarrassed. She is not a fool, knowing that Jun Zhiyao must have feelings for herself, Zhang Lanxin is calculating this, hoping that Jun Zhiyao can agree.
"Let me help?" Jun Zhiyao suddenly felt that Zhang Lanxin was a little interesting. She had to be desperate to turn to herself. Jun Zhiyao looked Zhang Lanxin up and down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If the emperor is to blame, I will go and say that I am asking for it. You won't be implicated. Zhang Lanxin looked anxious, and her face was already red at this time.
Zhang Lanxin, who has always been willful and pampered, also has a low voice and begging for help, and Jun Ruyu has a great ability. Jun Zhiyao secretly said unwillingly.
"I'll help you, but you have to promise me one thing."
