Chapter 179: See you in the prison
Xue Yi visited the prison at night, because Lord Lin Zhizhi had already taken care of everything in advance, so the jailer led the way diligently, and a group of four people walked to the depths of the prison, not wanting to jump out of the middle of the road and call Xue Yi's maiden name, Xue Yi was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and saw that although the person was dressed in brocade, he was already in tatters, and his unkempt hair covered most of his face, and the exposed part was difficult to identify because of his dirtiness.
The incident happened suddenly, Xiao Yi was only slightly stunned, and immediately jumped forward to protect Xue Yi.
Xue Yi slowly calmed down, patted her chest, her heart gradually stabilized, looked up and down at the person in front of her, and asked, "Who are you?" Have we met? β
The man smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Strange people often say that nobles forget things, and Miss Lan is now the queen of a country, so naturally she doesn't recognize me anymore." β
Xue Yi suddenly felt that this person's voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, she took a step forward calmly, Liu Nong was busy with herself and grabbed her sleeve, shook her head in horror and signaled Xue Yi not to step forward, Xue Yi patted Liu Nong's hand, gave her a warm smile, stared at the person carefully for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's you?" Is it really you?! β
Xue Yi stretched out four fingers and shook them, Liu Nong looked at Xue Yi in puzzlement, and then looked at the person who was three points not like a person and seven points like a ghost, thinking about who this person was in front of him, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood the meaning of Xue Yi's four fingers, he stared at the person in front of him, if it weren't for Xue Yi's erected fingers, how could he not be associated with the four princes.
The prison is full of political criminals, and the jailers and even the prison officials don't know the true identities of these prisoners, but they only arrange their cells according to their crimes, just because the people who enter this prison can't get out alive, so the jailers don't put these outdated dignitaries in their eyes, and the four princes are guilty of the first class crime of seeking to usurp the throne, and no one will take care of it, so they have become the current dignity.
If it weren't for what Xue Yi saw with her own eyes, no matter how she imagined it, she wouldn't have associated the person in front of her who was not like a human ghost or a ghost with the suave four princes.
The past is like smoke, Xue Yi is not a person who holds grudges, and Xiao Yishuo has nothing to do with her, but now she sees a personable beautiful man who is tortured by the pain of imprisonment in her inhuman form, and her heart can't help but be bitter, she stepped forward and asked: "As long as you are willing to change your past, I am willing to plead to the emperor, Xue Wu is now in my palace, and you can be rich and noble for a lifetime in the future." β
The fourth prince shook his head and smiled: "Xue Yi, you are too naΓ―ve, you don't know Xiao Yichen at all, let alone your sister, Xiao Yichen won't kill me and won't let me go, because as long as I go out, I will threaten his throne!" And your sister Lan Xuewu's purpose in marrying me is just to sit on the throne of the queen, even if I go out now, she will not return to me, and I will not ask for a woman who betrays me again! β
Xue Yi saw that the four princes were still obsessed at this time, both painful and pitiful, painful and pitiful for him to know his mistakes and not change, and pity him for being an idiot and dreaming.
Xue Yi was silent for a moment and said: "That is the case, Lan Xue Yi said goodbye, I hope that the green mountains will not grow old and the green water will flow for a long time, and you and I can meet each other outside the prison." β
"Wait!" The fourth prince suddenly called Lan Xueyi.
Xue Yi stopped and turned her back to the four princes.
"Xue Yi, can you promise me one thing about the love I once let Xue Wu go?" The fourth prince asked, his eyes showing deep anticipation.
"As long as I can do it, I will promise you." Xue Yi still stood in place with her back to the four princes.
"I'd like to meet my Lady Daiyan." Xiao Yishuo gritted his teeth, these days, it is this thought that supports him to live!
His fourth prince remembered that when he was first imprisoned, the rats and fleas in the prison, and those rancid noodles and steamed buns, made him worse than dead, thinking back on the whole plan and process, he felt flawless, if it wasn't for Dai Yan's defection, it was him Xiao Yishuo instead of Xiao Yichen who sat on the dragon chair today!
He wanted to ask clearly, why did Dai Yan, whom he really trusted, treat him like this?!
Xue Yi also knew Xiao Yishuo's mood about this matter, and after a long time, she nodded and said, "If I can see Daiyan, I must tell her that you want to see her." β
"Daiyan is Xiao Yichen's lackey, why can't you meet her?! Xueyi, I beg you to promise me that as long as I can see her, I will die without regrets, and I will repay your great kindness in the next life! The fourth prince grabbed the railing in his hand and knelt down to beg Xueyi.
Xue Yi suddenly turned around, looked at the fourth prince, and knew that he had mistaken the current emperor for Xiao Yichen, and said slowly: "You are wrong, after you were captured that night, the prince of Yu committed suicide because of anger with the first emperor, the people around him have dispersed, and your lady Daiyan has also disappeared." β
The fourth prince's hand slowly slipped down, shook his head slowly, stared at Xue Yi and said, "No, no, no, how is it possible?" The second emperor brother did not hesitate to pretend to be crippled for the sake of the throne, how could he commit suicide when he was done?! Xueyi, why are you lying to me? β
"Why should I lie to you? Believe it or not, he's gone, and I'm not a queen. Seeing that the fourth prince didn't believe her words, Xue Yi smiled lonely and turned away.
"Promise me, Xueyi, you must come to see me!" The four princes shouted with all their might.
Xue Yi Xiao and the others continued to walk forward.
Silent all the way, the jailer listened to the fourth prince call Xue Yi as the queen, and was more respectful to Xue Yi, but there was a little more awe in the respect, and walked through seven or eight cells, a gray brick wall appeared in front of Xue Yi, the jailer bent down and said with a smile: "Nobleman, this is the residence of the prime minister, the villain is waiting here, and I hope that the nobleman will finish his work and leave early, so as not to embarrass the villain." β
Xue Yi nodded and gave Xiao Yu a look, Xiao Yu took out a heavy silver bag from his arms and stuffed it into the jailer's hand: "Annoying little brother is waiting here, this silver is not much, buy a bowl of tea for the brothers." β
The jailer shook his hands again and again, lying on the ground and kowtowing: "This adult, please take it back, this is a villain's business, and I dare not do it." β
"Isn't there too little brother?" Xiao Yu knew that the jailer would not dare to accept it.
Seeing Xiao Yu say this, the jailer stood up and took the silver and bowed and thanked him: "The villain is disrespectful, thank you for the reward." β
The jailer was guarding outside, Xue Yi hurried to the door of the house, and Xiao Yu and Liu Nong stood outside the door to let out the wind.
Xue Yi pushed open the door, only to find that the room was divided into two rooms, the middle door was hidden, revealing a square table, and there was a silver-haired old man sitting next to the table, although it was a back, although it had not been seen for a year, Xue Yi still recognized the old man at a glance as his father Lan Guang, once upon a time, his father was sitting on the pavilion in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, silently in a daze, while Xue Yi stared at his father through the gap in the attic window, and burned his back in his mind.
"Daddy........ unfilial daughter Lan Xue visits Daddy........" Xue Yi's knees were so weak that she was behind Lan Guang, choking out of words.
Lan Guang turned around, looked at Xue Yi kneeling under his knees, tears welled up in his eyes, his trembling hands picked up Xue Yi, and suddenly pushed her towards the door: "Xue Yi, why are you here ....... you?" This is not the place you should be, go back! β
"Daddy!" Xue Yi raised her voice and exclaimed in pain, Lan Guangfang let go of her hand in a daze, and looked at Xue Yi in a wooden way.
"Daddy, I haven't seen you for a lifetime, don't you want to know if your daughter is doing well? I haven't seen you for a lifetime, don't you even ask how your daughter is doing in Yuwangfu? I haven't seen it for a lifetime, doesn't my father want to know what happened to Xue Yi this year? Is Daddy really so ruthless? is so ruthless, and why do you collect the calligraphy that her daughter learned when she was young? If the father is really so ruthless, why bother to ask the nurse to carefully teach his daughter piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? ! Now, doesn't the father want to say something to his daughter?! Xue Yi asked a series of questions, tears were dotted, and her eyes stared at Lan Guang.
Lan Guang stepped back, his expression was pale, and after a long time, he actually gave Xue Yi a deep salute: "Xue Yi, no matter when and where, don't forget your identity, you are a noble imperial concubine, and I am a courtier, I can't afford your big gift." β
Xue Yi suddenly felt that there was an invisible gap between herself and her father, and at the moment when her father turned around, she saw a complicated look in her father's eyes, and the only thing she didn't see was the joy of a father seeing his daughter.
Xue Yi suddenly felt that she was wrong, very wrong, she shouldn't have asked for her father's love, at any time, in the Lan family, she was an unlucky person who killed her own mother!
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xue Yi saw her father standing aside, leaning over and sitting down, the room was very quiet, only the sound of two people's breathing, and finally Xue Yi couldn't hold her breath, and said first: "Why did Daddy suddenly admit to the rebellion?" Daddy knows that not only is Daddy's life not guaranteed, but even Xue Wu and Qingniang are also unable to escape death, does Daddy really care about the lives of more than 300 people up and down the Lan family? β
Lan Guang knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Xue Yi: "The old minister knows that the saint is very affectionate to Niangniang today, and he will never implicate Niangniang, the old minister has the courage to persuade the emperor to let Xue Wu and Mrs. Qing go, they are innocent." β
Xue Yi slipped down from the chair and knelt down in front of Lan Guang, crying loudly: "Daddy, if you are charged with treason, even if Xue Yi can save her life and enter the palace to accompany the king, may she raise her head in front of people?" Even if I save Yukiwu's life, with her character and temper, I can live happily?! β
"This ......." Lan Guang was speechless.
"Daddy, have you ever thought that if Xue Yi and the saint decline, Xue Yi and the child in her womb will have a place in the palace?! Now that the Lanling Dynasty is eyeing the wind, and always wants to swallow the wind in the north and invite the moon in the south, does my father also let my child be a proton, and my father can't bear to watch his daughter fall into a three-foot white silk? ! β
