Text Chapter 172 Water Prison of the Criminal Department
"Thank you, Your Highness" Naren Toya raised her noble head, smiled and nodded, and said to the Second Highness: "I am tired of the Second Highness." ”
"Yes" Shangguan Jinrong arched his hand, turned over his horse, and said to everyone: "You stay, and ask the great commander to lead each other." ”
The Grand Commander clasped his fists and said, "Second Highness, please." ”
Shangguan Jinxiang didn't seem to feel offended with a smile on his face, but the person behind him could clearly see the clenched fists, and the green tendons were prominent, and he just wanted to pull the three people back and knock them down hard.
Don't be in a hurry, let you jump for two more days, this world is my Shangguan Jinxiang after all.
"Go back to the palace" Shangguan Jinxiang waved his hand and turned around, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, Shangguan Jinrong returned to Beijing alone, I'm afraid my dear third brother is also in danger, very good.
In the carriage, Naren Toya stirred the veil uneasily, the original pride and calmness were just to suppress the scene, but now she was surrounded by cronies, so naturally there was no need to hide it.
"What the hell is going on? Yunshang, Yunshang didn't see any news, could it be ......" Naren Toya asked nervously, holding her stomach with her right hand and panting heavily.
Binglian hurriedly stepped forward to calm Naren Tuoya, and said softly: "The little lord relaxes, it will be fine, we have just returned to Beijing, and we will find a way when it is clear, the most important thing for the little lord now is to take care of his body." ”
"Yes, the little master has been tired all the way, and he must not hurt himself again." Bingling looked worriedly at Naren Toya's gradually calming expression, and her heart settled down a little.
"Yes, I want to be calm." Naren Toya took a deep breath and tried to calm down, thinking about what to do, but now she didn't know what to do.
The commander looked at the carriage, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier, urging the horse to take two steps quickly to catch up with Shangguan Jinrong and said: "Second Highness, forgive Weichen for being presumptuous, why did the Second Highness know the situation in the capital and enter the capital rashly, didn't he ...... the Third Highness?"
"Third brother?" Shangguan Jinrong asked. That look didn't look like a fake.
The Grand Commander frowned and asked, "Second Highness, didn't you see Third Highness and Princess Yunshang on the way?" ”
"Why did the Grand Commander say that?" Jin Rong asked with a frown, a little dazed in his eyes. Why did you ask Jinqi and Yunshang, is Jinqi also involved, what is going on with all this?
"It seems that the Second Highness has not met the Third Highness and the Princess." The Grand Commander said in a low voice: "The Third Highness and Princess Yunshang went out of the city overnight yesterday to look for His Highness, I didn't see him just now, and I thought His Highness had another way, now it seems that I am afraid that His Royal Highness and Princess Yunshang are also in trouble." ”
"Yunshang and the third brother, they ......" Jinrong frowned, thinking about everything in front of him. What did the Great Commander mean by what he was saying now, was he worried about himself and his third brother, or was it just smoke. If he is guilty of rebellion, the third brother is the most likely to become the crown prince, how can he cut off his future. "Since the Grand Commander is worried, let's go look for it earlier, but I didn't know that the Great Commander and the third brother had such a close relationship."
"Your Royal Highness will know in the future. It's just that now, please worry more about the Second Highness. The Grand Commander looked at Shangguan Jinrong with concern, he was actually not familiar with this Second Highness, but looking at him as a person, he should be a person who could be made friends with the Third Highness. The Grand Commander arched his hand, leaving Shangguan Jinrong a little personal space and retreated.
Naren Toya looked at the palace gate that was getting closer and closer from the car window, and the worry in her heart was even worse, as soon as she entered the palace gate, I was afraid that Shangguan Jinrong would be detained, could I help him?
"Second Highness, please stay." As soon as he entered the noon gate, a pair of guards stood with cold faces, looking at Shangguan Jinrong with a calm face, without a trace of waves in the corners of his eyes, "Please move to the Criminal Department with Your Highness." ”
"His Royal Highness has not yet sent He Xiu to the palace, since this is now, of course he should tell the emperor." The Grand Commander looked at the pair of guards with a smile, the forbidden army and the Celestial Scar were heavily placed in this palace, so that no one dared to bring a knife back and forth, whether these people were bold and ignorant, or did they not take themselves seriously at all.
"This official is acting on orders, and I ask the commander not to disobey the order." The guards returned without the slightest politeness.
"I'm very curious, whose order are you not to wear a sword in this palace, I don't know if you know this rule?" The Grand Commander asked in a cold voice.
"This official was ordered by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Three Princes of the Inspectorate to arrest His Royal Highness, and asked the commander not to be with the rebels." The guards didn't buy it and competed against each other, in his eyes, this second highness was just a dying person, and although the general was a close minister of the emperor, it would not affect his official career in the end, and he just had to get by on his face.
"Hongu will go with you." Seeing this, Shangguan Jinrong bowed his hand to the commander and said, "Thank you." ”
"Your Highness, be careful." The Grand Commander frowned, watched His Royal Highness leave with the guards, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Qianqing Palace.
Could it be that the emperor has already confirmed the guilt of His Royal Highness II? It has been triaged by three divisions, is it possible to reverse it?
The Second Highness has taken advantage of the situation, and there is no need to rebel, not to mention that the emperor has no intention of appointing a prince, so why bother...... The Grand Commander shook his head, there is something about the royal affairs that he can get involved with, but where are the Third Highness and Princess Yunsheng.
"Your Highness, the second prince is being taken to the heavenly prison, are you entertained?"
Shangguan Jinxiang had a bloodthirsty smile on the corner of his mouth, and sneered: "This day is really warm spring, and the prison is afraid to be stuffy, but you have to be careful to entertain you." ”
"Yes, Your Highness is really careful, and the official has written it down." With a hint of expectation in his eyes, Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at Shangguan Jinrong's distant figure, and his tall figure did not seem to be affected in any way. The arrogant is still the most dignified appearance of a prince. It's just that when he arrived at the prison, Shangshu of the Criminal Department sneered and smacked his tongue, where he went, there was no prince, just death row prisoners.
As long as there is no clear wound in the triage of the three divisions, it is how to move some criminal law. What's more, His Royal Highness said that he should be treated carefully.
"There are still some things in this palace, Lord Shangshu, please first." Shangguan Jinxiang said with a smile.
"Yes, the lower official will retire first." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department bowed down under the gaze of Shangguan Jinxiang.
"My lord, what did Your Highness mean just now?"
"The prison is stuffy, and His Royal Highness is a noble, so naturally he can't be heated, where is the coolest place in this prison?" Shang Shu of the Criminal Department asked with a wicked smile.
"Coolest?"
"Look at it, hey, the water dungeon!"
"Water dungeon! This weather! ”
"What's the name of the hell, isn't this weather just right in the water dungeon?" Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and gave his entourage a heavy blow, signaling him not to scream. "This has just come out of the palace, don't shout."
"Yes, yes, what the adults said is that the little ones know that they are wrong, and the little ones will go back and prepare." The attendant replied with a smile, muttering unconsciously in his heart, although this is spring, but this water prison is not a joke, the prison is already dark and damp, and it is too cold to wrap a thick cotton jacket at night, let alone in the water prison. It seems that His Royal Highness doesn't want His Second Highness to get out of the prison alive. Hey, too, the crime of rebellion, how can His Royal Highness live on.
The entourage hurried back to the punishment department, and it happened that Jinrong was also taken to the prison, because it was the prince and the sentence was determined, so he arranged a relatively clean and tidy cell. The prince's suit was removed, and only a slightly thin middle coat remained. But I didn't see the slightest downfall.
"Hey, how can Your Highness arrange such a place. His Royal Highness said that it was hot in this prison, don't spoil His Royal Highness, please move to the east. The attendant said in a strange manner.
"Is this what Shang Shu means?" The cell boss looked at Jinrong and asked uncertainly.
"Otherwise, hurry up, the adults of the province will be scolded when they come back, don't drag me when the time comes." The squire said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, go now." The cell boss didn't dare to offend, and said to Jin Rong: "Second Highness, please." ”
Jin Rong gritted his teeth slightly, until now, he has not seen the trial of the three divisions, let alone the question of his father, is it possible that the crime is decided like this? No, I have nothing to do, but the lives of the queen mother and more than 100 people in the Xinguo Mansion are in my own hands. I can't have anything to do, since there is no triage of the three divisions, fortunately I won't die, so there is still a glimmer of hope.
The jailers unceremoniously put the heavy stone locks on Jinrong's feet, and pushed them into the biting dirty water, the water in the water prison was not clear, full of bursts of smoky smell, faintly the corpses of rats soaked in the water, the dirty water just did not pass the tip of Jinrong's nose, only by tilting his head could he ensure that he could breathe, the heavy stone locks made Jinrong inconvenient, and in order to retain his physical strength, it was difficult to do other methods.
"Second Highness, this is the best place, you see, it's not good to have no mosquito bites." The attendant asked with a smile, seeing that the originally dignified prince had become what he is now, he didn't know how to feel in his heart, but the faint pleasure made him feel quite excited.
"It seems that His Royal Highness thinks that we have spared his Qing Xiu, let's go. Let His Royal Highness be quiet. The attendant said with a grin, turned to the cell head and said, "Be careful to greet you, don't let Your Highness feel bored." ”
"Yes, yes, don't worry."
"Hmm"
The cell boss smiled and sent his entourage away, the wooden door closed tightly, and the interval seemed like a century. Every second in the water is torment. Jinrong looked at the fading light outside, trying to keep her breathing steady. You can't give up on your own.
-Hanzhang Hall-
"How?" Naren Toya asked anxiously.
"Little master, the emperor doesn't see the little master." Bingling returned anxiously, this time in the palace, she hurriedly went to see the queen mother, but the queen mother is inconvenient to deal with now, so she can only sigh and instruct Naren Tuoya to say two words, Zuo is just to take care of her body and give birth to the emperor and grandson smoothly.
In the harem, Bai Guifei is now in power, and judging from the attitude of His Royal Highness, it is categorically useless. And now that the emperor doesn't see the little master, what can I do.
"Little master, don't worry, we have just returned to the palace now, we can't figure anything out, and it is inconvenient to leave the palace during the special period, but the slave believes that His Royal Highness Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." Although Binglian was anxious, she also knew that now was the most important moment, and the fatigue of this period of time made her unable to withstand any blows.
"But ......," Naren Toya frowned.
"Little master, there is a young lady, and there are three highnesses, the three highnesses are strong in martial arts, and the young lady is very smart, so she will be fine." Binglian took Naren Toya's hand and comforted softly.
"The concubine will take the decree, and the contouring will receive the decree." The father-in-law's sharp voice was loud, and everyone was shocked.
"The concubine is the order." Naren Toya knelt down and said.
"After a long time of repairing the boat, the palace was very worried, thinking that he was about to give birth to the prince and his body was empty, and he was allowed to recuperate in the palace before giving birth. Let's take the purpose with contouring. The father-in-law sneered and looked at the round-eyed and contoured face, and there was no sympathy in his heart.
Naren Tuoya pursed her lips slightly and said, "Concubine Xie Guifei Niangniang's grace." ”
Binglian helped Naren Tuoya up, took the decree and said, "There is a father-in-law"
"Hmm" the father-in-law shook off the dust and turned to leave. I didn't bother to pick up the purse handed by Binglian.
"Little Lord." Bingling carefully helped Naren Toya to the couch and looked at Naren Toya who was distracted worriedly.
Naren Toya smiled bitterly: "It seems that I really can't. ”
