On that day, I was still holding the stove in the house, and a group of guards surrounded the house.

I hurriedly ran out, and Daddy was already standing in the courtyard, "What are you going to do, you dare to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

I don't know the leader with a fierce face, he brought a lot of people to break in, and then showed the token, "Weichen is the will of His Majesty, and the prime minister is offended!" ”

Then he rushed to the guard behind him and waved his hand: "Search for me!" ”

People from all over the house gathered in the courtyard, I don't know what they are here for, as soon as they came, they wanted to search my prime minister's mansion violently, I was a little afraid to grab Daddy's hand and call him.

Daddy pulled my hand: "Ah Candle Mo is scared, it'll be fine!" ”

After a while, a guard hurriedly ran out: "Your Excellency has found it!" Then he handed the puppet into the hands of the adults.

The adult held the puppet in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then looked up at Daddy, "Come on, take them all away!" ”

Those guards listened to the adult's orders and were about to come up to arrest us, and Daddy protected me in front of me, "Lord Xu, it's ridiculous to arrest the old minister's family with just one puppet!" ”

"The prime minister said it was ridiculous, then I'll let you see the more ridiculous." Then I threw the puppet in my hand, and the sword split, and I watched as a few strips of cotton spread out in the air, and a yellow character fell out of the cotton.

The adult picked up the yellow character: "Prime Minister, please look, what is written on this character is His Majesty's birthday, Your Majesty hates witch Gu the most on weekdays, and you are so good that you don't die but curse on Your Majesty's head, this is not even to kill your head!" ”

I was angry and rushed up to point at the adult: "You are talking nonsense, this is not a witch thing at all, it was given to me by the queen's personal maid pothos!" ”

The adult brought the yellow character in front of me again: "Miss, give you a few dares and you don't dare to frame the queen mother, this thing was found out of your house, and you are still quibbling?" ”

"I ......" Daddy stopped me and didn't let me speak, and then I and Daddy, Aunt Song, Steward Yu, and all the subordinates in the house were arrested and put in prison.

Qian Che hurried back in a hurry: "Your Highness, something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Chu Muxiu frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

Qian Che twisted his head: "It is said that the witch puppet was found from the A Candle House, and there are yellow characters written on His Majesty's birthday, saying that the Southern Prime Minister cursed His Majesty to die early and deliberately rebelled, and the entire prime minister was arrested and put in prison!" ”

"And what's going on now?"

"The situation seems not optimistic!"

"Your Majesty is really ruthless, Nan Xiang has followed him for so many years, in order to get rid of me, he finally made a move!" Chu Muxiu rolled up the book in his hand, "Let's go to the prison first to see Ah Candle!" ”

Qian Che took a step forward: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has issued an order that no one is allowed to visit!" ”

Chu Muxiu frowned again, his face was anxious, he clenched his fists tightly, slammed his sword on the table with a "thud", and then sat down heavily.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?"

Chu Muxiu's eyes seemed to flash with a fierce light: "Wait a minute, let's see what Chu Hanyuan is going to do!" ”

I was locked up in a cell with Aunt Song, and my father was locked up in a cell alone. The cell was dark and damp, the air was not good, and a few rats and cockroaches popped out at night, and I couldn't sleep every night. This time I was really scared, not that I would suffer after the defeat of the Nan family, but that my family would not survive.

At night, Aunt Song was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she always covered me with thatch.

It wasn't until the third day that I finally cried.

Aunt Song and Mo'er came over, and Aunt Song asked me, "Why are you crying?" ”

I sobbed and said I was scared, afraid that Daddy would be beheaded.

Aunt Song patted me on the shoulder: "Ah Candle, don't be afraid, the master must have been killed by a traitor, and when His Majesty finds out, he will definitely let us out!" ”

I nodded with tears in my eyes.

It was very stuffy in the cell, there was only a small window in the whole room, and every night I looked up because that little window could see the moon. I always wonder when Chu Muxiu will come to save me, I hope he will save me but I am afraid that he will get into trouble, and then I heard the guards say that His Majesty ordered that no one should be allowed to visit, I think Chu Muxiu must be crazy.

Five days have passed, and there has been no movement on His Majesty's side, Chu Muxiu was already impatient in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and wiped his sword with a strip of cloth on the side.

Qian Che rushed back from outside, and then closed the door, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has issued an order that the prime minister is secretly hiding witch Gu, and the cholera government will be beheaded in three days!" ”

Chu Muxiu cut his finger as soon as he slowed down, a drop of bright red blood dripped on the blade of the sword, he wiped it with another cloth, and then quickly put the sword in, "Follow me into the palace!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Qian Che followed and walked out.

Gonggong Li came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi asks to see you!"

His Majesty sat down, flipping the notes presented by the ministers in his hands, "He finally can't hold his breath!" ”

Chu Muxiu unloaded his sword and walked into the main hall quickly, "See Your Majesty!" ”

His Majesty came down from above in a mock manner: "What about my batch of twists and turns, the sixth brother came in such a hurry and didn't know why?" ”

Chu Mu's cultivation hand bent over, and a hint of determination flashed in his bright eyes, "It is an offense to disturb Your Majesty's purity, the younger brother is here for the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, the Prime Minister is magnanimous, and the more loyal I am to the day, I must have been framed by someone for this witch Gu, please Your Majesty investigate!" ”

"But this puppet was indeed found in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I never imagined that a respected minister as the Prime Minister would do such a foolish thing and trust him in vain." The original innocent thing was described by His Majesty more and more black.

"The prime minister is a shrewd and capable person, he knows that Your Majesty hates witchcraft things the most, and he will not be stupid enough to hide such things in his own house, besides, Nanxiang's daughter is good friends with me, can Your Majesty remove the prime minister's official position from the prime minister's position and spare his family for the death penalty in my face!"

His Majesty sneered: "For your sake, do you mean that my life is not as important as your face?" ”

Chu Muxiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, now at this time, he must not be disrespectful to His Majesty, "Your Majesty has misinterpreted, my brother didn't mean that!" ”

His Majesty walked over and walked over: "This prime minister loves to be confused when he is old, but the young lady of the Nan family heard that she is very smart, so it is a pity to kill him like this." Halfway through, His Majesty turned around and patted Chu Muxiu on the shoulder: "Sixth brother, how about we make a deal?" ”

"What deal does Your Majesty want to make with your courtier?"

"Actually, it's not a transaction, it's an exchange at most, you give me my most precious things, and I give you your most precious things, how about it?"

Chu Muxiu had probably guessed that His Majesty was openly and secretly asking him for military power......

"Brother is stupid, I don't know what the most precious thing Your Majesty said?"

His Majesty walked up and sat down with a wave of his sleeves: "Since the sixth brother can't see through it, then I will say it bluntly, as long as you hand over the military power in your hand, I promise not to move Nanxiang's daughter!" ”

Chu Muxiu hesitated for a while, he really couldn't imagine that Chu Hanyuan's methods would be so black, and he would use me to blackmail himself.

His Majesty put his hands on his thighs and stretched his neck: "Why, the sixth brother is unwilling to make this deal with me, since the sixth brother is unwilling, just wait to collect the body of Nanxiang's daughter!" ”

Chu Muxiu paused: "I am willing, I will give the military power to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will also do what he says!" ”

"The Son of Heaven is a man of his word!"

Chu Muxiu's mood was complicated when he came out of the Heart Nourishing Palace, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he looked up and left.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Chu Muxiu turned his head and saw Lu Huai: "Is there something wrong with General Lu?" ”

Lu Huai glanced around, and then whispered, "Do you really want to give up military power?" ”

Chu Muxiu wondered: "How did you know?" ”

Lu Huai said: "I originally wanted to enter the palace to intercede for Ah Candle's family, and I heard the conversation between you and Your Majesty outside the palace. That's military power, without it, Your Highness is nothing! ”

Chu Muxiu put his hand behind him as if thinking about something: "I am still Chu Muxiu without military power, but without Ah Candle, I think I am really nothing, Ah Candle is the person I am willing to protect with my life, as long as she stays by my side, no matter how much it costs me, I am duty-bound." ”

"Your Highness, Your ......"

"You don't need to say it anymore, it's not that I can't see your heart for Ah Candle, and I believe that if it were you, you would definitely do the same."

Looking at Chu Muxiu's back, Lu Huai was meaningful, he really didn't know if he had the courage of Chu Muxiu, maybe he really didn't love me so much......

Finally waited until the sixth day, Lu Huai went to the prison to unlock us, I knew that it must be Chu Muxiu who overturned the case for our family, I happily pulled Aunt Song and Mo'er to go out, but Lu Huai stopped me, "Only you and Mo'er can go." ”

I wondered and asked him, "What about Aunt Song and my father?" ”

Lu Huai turned his head to the wall and squirmed, "This...... Anyway, you and Mo'er should go with me anyway. ”

I ran over and sat on the thatch, stubbornly reluctant to go, "Since they can't go, then I'm not going either!" ”

Lu Huai walked up to me and squatted down, and his tone was a little hurried: "It's not easy to protect you and Mo'er, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will all die!"

"Did Your Highness save me?" I asked him.

Lu Huai tugged at my arm and begged me bitterly, "Don't ask so much, will you go out with me first?" ”

I stubbornly turned my head and hugged myself with my hands: "If you don't make it clear, I won't go with you!" ”

Lu Huai is very helpless, there is no way to take me......

Aunt Song moved in front of me and pulled me: "Aunt Song is old, Ah Candle, you don't care about me, you can go out now!" ”

I turned my head and just cried: "You are my relative, how can I leave you alone, how can I live if you are gone!" ”

Aunt Song suddenly knelt in front of me, and as soon as I put away my tears, I was about to get up and help her, "Aunt Song, what are you doing, get up quickly!" ”

Aunt Song cried more fiercely than me, and pulled my sleeve tightly, "Aunt Song begs you, you can leave quickly!" ”

"I, how can I ......" I cried so much that I couldn't speak, and later Mo'er also came to help Aunt Song.

"I'm afraid that our Nan family won't be able to get through this hurdle, Ah Candle, you are still young and can't lose your life in vain, so that your father and I won't close our eyes even if we die. Listen, haven't you always wanted to know that the lord won't let you go out and won't let you enter the palace, that's because the queen mother took a fancy to you when she was a child, she wanted you to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty, and the lord was afraid that you would not have a good time in the palace, so he asked you to marry early, and he would rather you live a hard life than be wronged. The old man has good intentions, he has always protected you and thought about you......"

I shook my head and slumped to the ground: "I see, Daddy has always thought about me, but I always make him angry......"

Aunt Song went over and held my face, and I saw her face full of tears, "Ah Candle, you promised Aunt Song to go out quickly, if you die, the master will have no face to go down to see Madame, this time you can't make the old man angry again!" ”

"But, but I can't ......"

Aunt Song stood up suddenly: "If you don't leave, I will die in this prison!" ”

I was shocked, I just tugged at the corner of Aunt Song's clothes, "Don't, Aunt Song don't, I'll go, can't I go, I'll go......"
