Chapter 168: Confession
In the evening of that day, the eunuch who delivered dinner came a little later than usual, and Song Lang was already hungry, so he didn't bother to think about how this eunuch came in, let alone look up at this little eunuch.
He was busy opening the food basket box to get food, and just grabbed a piece of pastry, only to hear a familiar female voice: "Lang'er, I've suffered you these days." ”
Song Lang swallowed half of the cake, and when he heard the sound, he didn't vomit or vomit, he looked up at the person opposite, and when he saw the other party's face, he suddenly burst into tears and called out indistinctly: "Mother ......"
"Shhhhh ”
"Erchen ......" Song Lang cried like a child, crying with tears in his eyes: "What should Erchen do?" ”
Zhang Guifei looked at him with a hint of hatred for iron and steel, but in the end it was his own son, not to mention that he still had the names of hundreds of people in the Zhang family tied to him!
She wiped the corners of his mouth dipped in pastry residues with a handkerchief, and asked in a low voice, "You tell your mother what you are going to do when you meet your father?" ”
Song Lang choked up with tears, and thought for a while before he said intermittently: "Erchen...... Think...... Tell my father the truth......"
"You're so confused!" Zhang Guifei was in a hurry, and her voice became sharp when she didn't pay attention, and when she realized that it was inappropriate, she lowered her voice and scolded: "If your father knows what is going on, do you think we still have a way to live?" Not to mention your grandfather's family, even our mother and mother are too much to protect themselves! ”
Song Lang was really shocked, his eyes widened and he asked with a panicked expression, "What should I do then?" ”
"You do what I say, and I'll be thinking of another way to get you out when the time comes." Zhang Guifei's face was serious, and Song Lang also became serious, and asked a little impatiently: "What does the mother concubine want her son to do?" ”
Zhang Guifei leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, Song Lang's face was full of shocked expressions, and after a long time he hesitated and asked, "This, will it work?" ”
"There's only one way right now, can't you even trust your mother?" Zhang Guifei's expression was grim, and she couldn't tolerate the slightest question, Song Lang hesitated for a long time, and couldn't stand Zhang Guifei's repeated persuasion, so she had no choice but to nod and agree. At the end, I didn't forget to remind Zhang Guifei: "The mother concubine must save her son out as soon as possible, this place is really not for people to stay!" ”
Zhang Guifei nodded, took out the food from the food box, and urged in a stack: "It's too late, you eat quickly, I should go." ”
Song Lang's mouth was full, he didn't care about speaking, he just nodded vigorously, he ate in a hurry, he almost choked and almost didn't take his breath, and when he came over, Zhang Guifei was gone.
He patted his chest and relaxed. The solitary life of the past few days has made him have only one thought at this moment, that is, to leave this ghost place as soon as possible!
The emperor was finally willing to agree to see him, father and son met, nothing else, the third prince did not drag the mud and water this time, knelt in front of the emperor and kowtowed deeply, squeezed out the tears that had already been brewing, and cried silently: "It's the son's fault, the son's sin deserves death, just because of a thought, and the enemy has dealings, now the son's minister has known his mistake, and he will never have anything to do with them again, ask his father to forgive the son!" ”
"Forgiveness?" The emperor was so angry by his unashamed words that he was confused: "Do you know what crime you have committed?!" ”
The third prince staged a bitter plan: "It's the son's retainer who is not good, but the son's minister has repented, and he has not done anything to damage our country so far, so please ask my father to spare the son's retainer for the sake of the past feelings!" ”
The emperor laughed angrily: "That was when I discovered it early, if I were one step later, I am afraid that even my country will change hands now!" ”
One sentence frightened the third prince's whole person like a sifting chaff, trembling, turning over and over just one sentence: "The son knows the mistake, the son knows the mistake, the son knows the mistake......"
The emperor took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, squinted at him, and asked, "I ask you again, does this matter have anything to do with Lao Jiu?" ”
The third prince lowered his head for a long time without speaking, his mouth was closed tightly, the emperor saw him like this, and couldn't help but sneer: "I know that you have always looked at Lao Jiu unpleasantly, this time you committed such a heinous crime, and you still want to pour dirty water on Lao Jiu's head, I don't know people clearly, and I almost wronged a good person, and let you get away with it!" ”
The third prince had nothing to say, he lowered and lowered, the whole person almost fell to the ground, the emperor's eyes looked at him more and more disgusted, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was quite annoyed: "Now that the truth has been revealed, you have done something wrong, and you are merciless!" ”
After that, he strode past the three princes, indifferent to the pain and begging for mercy of the three princes behind him. After the three princes confessed, they were dragged into the prison by the palace guards and waited for the emperor to convict him.
There were other people who collaborated with the enemy and traitor, and in this way, Song Zhao's charges were cleared. When the emperor returned to the palace that night, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and unconsciously, his guilt for Lao Jiu deepened a little.
After some careful consideration, the emperor opened his mouth and ordered someone to lift the surveillance of the Nan'an Palace, and summoned Song Zhao into the palace.
Song Zhao couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, as if today's events were completely expected by him, but this made the emperor more and more ashamed, if he had convicted Lao Jiu regardless of the indiscriminate situation, wouldn't he be too wronged, but instead left the third child's plan to succeed, leaving a greater hidden danger.
The emperor's mind turned a thousand times, and then looked at the expressionless Nine Emperor Sons, he, as a father, didn't know what to say for a while. Song Zhao broke the deadlock in a timely manner and said lightly: "Father is willing to believe that Erchen is innocent, and Erchen is grateful. ”
After saying that, he bowed down, and the emperor's heart was hot, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and went down the steps: "I know that you will never do that kind of thing, but in order to find out the truth and lead to the real murderer, I wronged you a few days ago." ”
Song Zhao smiled, but his eyes were as cold and warm as ever, and said: "My father is wise, and he is busy working for state affairs, and the little suffering suffered by his sons and daughters is not worth it at all." ”
The emperor nodded approvingly, and after giving the seat, he clapped his hands and beckoned the attendants to come in, and a column of eunuchs rushed in, all holding red lacquer trays in their hands, which contained all kinds of treasures, dazzling.
