Hou Haoyan was caught off guard by Ye Hanyue's sudden anger, but those tearful eyes made him die down instantly, he shouldn't have poked her sore spots.

Ye Hanyue realized that she was a little excited, and it took a while to adjust her emotions a little, and said slowly: "Haoyan, I have a heart, and I hope you won't say that like that in the future." ”

"Hanyue ......"

"I'm a little tired."

Ye Hanyue turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, her steps scattered and weak, and the tears in her eyes quietly fell.

Hou Haoyan looked at Ye Hanyue's thin back gradually moving away, the flame that ignited in his heart was extinguished little by little by endless remorse, he hated his impulsiveness, hated himself for pouring salt on her wound for his own selfish desires.

After today, even his identity as a friend will be erased.

In the East Palace, Huangfu Hongxuan sat on the top of the main hall, slowly tasting the new spring tea in his hand, his face was spiritual, his eyebrows and eyes were sparse, and his face was happy.

The concubine who was waiting on the side asked softly, "Is there any happy event for Your Highness today?" ”

"There is no happy event, but I just sent a trip to the prison." Huangfu Hongxun said proudly.

"Your Highness is going to see the little prince?"

"What do you say?" Huangfu Hongxuan hooked the white and tender chin of the concubine, and his voice was lightly picked, "His pitiful appearance is not as good as yours." ”

At this time, a man in a dark robe walked in from outside the door, "Your subordinates see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Get up and speak." Huangfu Hongxuan waved his hand to signal the concubine to retreat, and then straightened up, "Say, what are the gains?" ”

"Our four secret guards followed Ye Hanyue according to your instructions and found that she was Linglong's boss."

"What?" Huangfu Hongxuan was obviously shocked by the words of his subordinates, this woman is really cunning, "The news is true?" ”

"It's true, Your Highness."

"Okay, good Ye Hanyue!" Huangfu Hongxuan clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the case, "Even the palace has been deceived by you." ”

"Your Royal Highness......" The secret guard glanced at Emperor Fu Hongxuan's angry appearance, and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

The dark guard leaned over and saluted, "My subordinates also found an important piece of news today. ”

"What's the news?" Huangfu Hongxuan wondered.

"Hou Haoyan went to Ye Hanyue's villa early this morning."

"Hou Haoyan?" Huangfu Hongxuan frowned and paused, "Bengong has long guessed that he has a problem, sure enough, but he is just a small chess piece, and he can't get into the eyes of Bengong." ”

For some reason, when he learned that Linglong was Ye Hanyue, the stone hanging in Huangfu Hongxuan's heart fell down suddenly, and all that was left was a surge of anger.

Especially thinking of Ye Hanyue's close relationship with the prisoner, Huangfu Hongxuan was indignant in his heart, and his anger was even more difficult to hide, the teacup in his hand was pinched and creaked, and it was about to burst in the next second.

"Your Highness......"

The dark guard could see that Huangfu Hongxuan was angry, but he still dared to open his mouth.

"You step down and continue to monitor Ye Hanyue." Huangfu Hongxuan said coldly: "In addition, put some pressure on the jailer who is guarding Huangfu Xiu, he should also do something." ”

"Subordinates obey." The Dark Guard retired.

In the evening, Huangfu Hongxuan knelt in front of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and presented a piece of paper to the emperor with both hands.

"Hongxuan, what are you doing here?" The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and squinted slightly at the crown prince, "What are you holding in your hand?" Who's on it? ”

"Father, this is a recital from the jailer, please take a look."

"Jailer? So what's going on? The emperor was slightly suspicious, "You stand up and speak, and tell me what is in the excerpt, I am too lazy to read it." ”

Huangfu Hong stood up and said loudly: "Father, the memora is full of some behaviors of Huangfu Xiu in the prison, tearing up the cell, insulting the jailers, and even more so preparing to escape from prison with his own informants. ”

He ...... Is this really the case? The emperor obviously didn't believe it, but the doubt in his eyes was only a flash.

"This recital has the signatures of all the prison guards, and my father can personally inspect it."

The emperor took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said: "These bad things, don't look at them, since he is so presumptuous, Hongxuan, you can take care of it." ”

"Father, the sons have the courage to ask the father to advance the death penalty of the emperor."

When he said this, Huangfu Hongxuan's eyes were full of fierceness, and he killed with one blow.

"Oh?" The emperor slowly sipped the hot tea, and thought for a long time before he said slowly: "It's all the emperor's decision." ”

When Huangfu Hong heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, bowed to the emperor, and hurried back to the East Palace.

After the palace maid in green palace clothes left from Huangfu Hongxuan, she immediately came out of the side door of the Yangxin Palace and walked towards Cining Palace in a hurry.

"What you say is true? Does the prince really want to kill Xiu'er? ”

After listening to the words of the palace maid, the queen mother was shocked and almost dropped the teacup in her hand, but she didn't expect the emperor and the prince to be so ruthless and move so quickly.

"How did the slave and maid wait in the Heart Hall at that time, how dare the slave and maid deceive the Queen Mother." The green-clothed palace maid knelt on the ground and replied with a raised voice, for fear that she would be punished if she said something wrong.

"Alright, you can step aside." The Queen Mother waved her hand and called the grandmother on the side to her side: "Mama Yu, the situation is urgent, you hurry up to the prison to choose a death row prisoner who looks and looks similar to Xiu'er, and exchange the two of them." ”

"But the Queen Mother, wouldn't this be too hasty, since the prince is bent on wanting the life of the little prince, he will definitely act cautiously, how can he leave a gap for the slave and maid to start?" Mama whispered for the Queen Mother's analysis.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew that her grandmother's words were not unreasonable, and sighed: "The mourning family is afraid that if it is too late, there will be no one left." ”

"It's better to do this, while the slave maid goes to the prison, you will send someone to the East Palace to intercede with the prince, so that you can not only distract his attention, but also find out the news by the way."

"Okay, just do as you say." The Queen Mother handed over a piece of pure gold token to Mama Yu, "You can act when you see the opportunity, and Xiu'er's life will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, Queen Mother." After Mama Yu bowed and bowed, she hurried out of the palace.

Huang Fu Hong announced that he had the emperor's permission, where could he allow Huang Fu Xiu to live more than half a moment in his heart, and when he returned to the East Palace, he took some soldiers and wanted to go to the prison to escort Huang Fu Xiu to the execution ground.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the palace maid sent by the Queen Mother.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slaves and maids came on the orders of the Queen Mother, please show mercy to Your Highness."

"Mercy?" Huangfu Hongxuan condescendingly glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Huangfu Xiu committed a capital crime, and his father personally ordered the palace to deal with him, do you say that the palace can resist the decree and disobey it?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have to take care of the Queen Mother's face no matter what."

"Okay." Huangfu Hongxuan bypassed the palace maid and walked out of the door, "The palace has written it down, you go back to restore your life." Then he took the government soldiers and went straight to the prison.

The palace maid didn't dare to stay longer, so she came out of the East Palace and went out of the palace according to the instructions of the Queen Mother.

Before the prince arrived, Mama Yu led three clever eunuchs into the prison, found a death row prisoner, and dressed up a little according to the appearance of Huangfu Xiu, at this time the four of them lurked outside the prison.

Sure enough, at the time of half a pillar of incense, the prince came to the prison with a large group of people and horses, and in a moment, Huangfu Xiu escorted out with two other guards.

"Huangfu Xiu, is this time in the prison still comfortable?" The crown prince's sword eyebrows were raised, and his tone was extremely contemptuous and provocative.

Huangfu Xiu's face was calm, he raised his eyes to look at the night, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The moon is like water tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked this king to come out to admire the moon?" ”

Hearing Huangfu Xiu's relaxed and calm tone, Huangfu Hongxuan's face immediately showed annoyance, "Don't be complacent, do you know where this palace is going to take you tonight?" ”

"Execution ground?" Huangfu Xiu admired the moonlight with great interest, and there was no fear on his face, "This king is looking forward to it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has dragged it out to this day, is the efficiency of this East Palace so unbearable?" ”

"Take it!" The crown prince roared angrily, Huangfu Xiu completely angered him, but it doesn't matter, there will be no such person in this world in half an hour.

The guards on the side hurriedly put the black cloth bag on Huangfu Xiu's head and put it into the carriage.

As soon as the prince and his party left the palace gate, a horse pulling a wooden cart rushed towards them, and the soldiers were panicked and protected in front of the prince.

At this time, Mama Yu took the opportunity to change the death row prisoner from the carriage to Huangfu Xiu, and entered a shop on the side of the street by night.

The galloping horse seemed to have spirituality, and actually stopped in front of Huangfu Hongxuan, and after a while, a gray-haired old man rushed over panting.

Seeing Huangfu Hongxuan, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, "Please forgive me, this horse is in a hurry to go home and collided with all the uncles, please forgive me." ”

The prince glanced at the old man, ignored it, and only shouted to the team behind, "Keep going." ”

Watching the prince and his party walk away, Mama Yu led Huangfu Xiu out of the store and turned into a small alley next to it.

"Little prince, when you get out of this alley, there is a carriage waiting for you, don't delay, hurry up." Mama Yu hurriedly saluted and instructed.

Huangfu Xiu naturally recognized Mama Yu as the person next to the Queen Mother, "Please tell the imperial grandmother that the grandson is grateful for her old man's great kindness, and if there is a chance, he will definitely thank him in person." ”

"The slave has written it down, little prince, go quickly, you can't delay." Mama Yu pushed Huangfu Xiu out.

Huangfu Xiu thanked everyone, and hurried out of the alley, and a plain carriage was already waiting under the locust tree at the mouth of the alley.

When the coachman saw Huangfu Xiu coming out, he hurriedly recruited and signaled, and Huangfu Xiu did not hesitate for a minute and jumped into the carriage.

"Little Prince!"

"Yue'er!"

The two hugged each other tightly, and it turned out that the palace maid who came out of the East Palace went straight to Ye Hanyue's other garden, and informed the queen mother of all the plans, and Ye Hanyue hired a carriage to wait at the mouth of this alley according to the plan.

Ye Hanyue leaned on Huangfu Xiu's arms and said quietly: "At this time, the fire in the execution ground should be burned out." ”

"He wants to burn me at the stake?" Huangfu Xiu gently stroked Ye Hanyue's soft hair, and said lightly: "How do you know?" ”

Ye Hanyue smiled at the corner of her lips, "Guess? ”
