Princess Qingning sneered, and her tone was slightly cold: "What's the use of you talking to me about this now?" But I admire your emperor for having the audacity to kill me. Hum! ”

The meal was placed on that table by the palace people.

The inner chamberlain walked over respectfully and saluted, "Princess, eldest lady, it's time to eat." ”

After that, he handed a jade bottle to Gan Peilin, and when the other party took it, he retreated outside the cell door without saying a word.

Gan Peilin didn't know what poison he was holding in his hand, and he didn't believe that the poison was really only in this jade bottle. But she could really feel how uncomfortable it felt for others to choke their throats.

Princess Qingning simply sat down, she had been starving for several days, and she didn't like this taste.

She picked up her chopsticks and ate the dish in front of her one bite at a time. "I'll tell you the truth, I've never been so embarrassed as I am now. When she was in Shi Ye Kingdom, the princess had thirty-six dishes for one meal. He has suffered like this. ”

Gan Peilin saw that she was eating with relish, and she didn't worry at all. It has been guessed that things may turn around.

She pinched the small jade bottle in her hand and didn't move for a long time.

"Or I'll tell you something else." Princess Qingning said while eating, but she rarely spoke clearly. "Do you know why Wu Wei was introduced to Xiying? It's simple. Shi Ye Guocai supported a batch of sulfur in Xiying, and it was particularly powerful to make gunpowder. With the artillery made in Xiying, your army can be wiped out in minutes. The Wu Wei who caused me to have a miscarriage is your lover. He may have already wanted to lead a group of soldiers to retreat. But if you are in the palace at this time and become a hostage of your emperor, he will have to attack and risk his death. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Princess Qingning looked up at Gan Peilin's face: "I guess, your emperor must have said that he wanted you to stay in the palace, right?" ”

Gan Peilin didn't say anything, and only then did he understand the emperor's good intentions.

"Actually, have you ever thought about going to Shi Ye Country with me?" Princess Qingning asked. "Our Shi Ye Kingdom is also very good. You don't have to be bad here. And my father will never take you hostage and threaten your family with what they must do. It's just that when he saw you so beautiful like a flower, he didn't say that he would definitely make you a concubine. ”

"......" Gan Peilin saw her get up suddenly, pulled out the hairpin on her sideburns and pointed it at her throat.

The speed was so fast that even the minions outside didn't have time to react. Immediately after, a series of hurried footsteps, Jiang Yu arrived at this time.

"Governor, let's meet again." Qing Ning exerted his strength slightly, and the hairpin tail was tied to Gan Peilin's slender neck. "In a nutshell, do you want her to live or do you want her to die?"

Jiang Yu furrowed his brows, and his tone was slightly cold: "Don't be useless resistance." ”

"How do you know it's useless resistance?" Qing Ning used some more strength.

Gan Peilin's tingling deepened, and his eyebrows frowned.

"Even if you can escape from the prison, you can't escape the palace." Gan Peilin frowned and said, "Why ......?"

"Shut up." Qing Ning said coldly: "Jiang Yu, use her to exchange with you for His Royal Highness King Shengqing, you don't suffer a loss, right?" Hurry up and bring your Highness here, or in the next second, she will turn into a corpse. ”

Jiang Yu said coldly: "I just came to inform you that King Shengqing has escaped from the prison. He left you. ”

"Nonsense." Princess Qingning didn't believe his nonsense. "My husband will not leave me."

"The secret warrior you secretly sent into the Imperial City has already rescued him from the Imperial City." Jiang Yu's eyes were slightly weak, and his color was cold: "Over the years, King Shengqing has not only liked to collect jewelry beauties and secretly colluded with courtiers, but also looked for people similar to him all over the country to train secretly. The one who entered the palace that day was simply the stand-in for King Shengqing. He is indeed still in prison, but unfortunately it is useless at all. The emperor has issued a strict decree to close the entire imperial city and arrest the criminal ministers Xuancheng. Xuancheng is no longer the king of Shengqing. ”

"You said he used a stand-in?" Princess Qingning was shocked. "King Shengqing, who entered the palace with me that day, is his stand-in?"

"Not bad." Jiang Yu took a step forward and frowned, "He was just using Shi Yeguo behind you from the beginning. Sincerity to where you came from. Only you'll believe his rhetoric. ”

"Impossible." Princess Qingning was quite shocked. She couldn't believe Jiang Yu's words, but she couldn't help it. "Don't think that if you say that, I will let Gan Peilin go."

"You take her with you, and you can't escape." Jiang Yu raised the token in his hand: "The emperor has an order, leave you alive for the time being." Inquire about the criminal minister Xuancheng, and the news that you secretly fell into the Imperial City. If you cooperate, you may be able to save your life. Xuancheng is just using you, you don't need to die for him. ”

At this point, Jiang Yu instructed the inner chamberlain to open the door of the cell.

Princess Qingning couldn't help but take a step back: "What do you want to do?" Stay back. ”

"Let her go, I'll take you to see the emperor." Jiang Yu's majestic gaze stared straight at Princess Qingning.

"I won't believe you." Princess Qingning stepped back vigilantly: "Come over again, don't blame me for being unkind to her." ”

"If the princess kills her, she will not be able to escape. Why don't you cooperate with the emperor happily? Jiang Yu said solemnly: "As long as the emperor is willing to agree to send the princess back, the princess can return to the scenery, and she no longer has to be a prisoner of this dynasty." ”

At the moment when Qing Ning was in a trance, a piece of broken silver flew out of Jiang Yu's hand and hit her hand. The violent stimulation caused the hairpin to fall from her hand to the ground. The inlaid jade stones were shattered and scattered.

Jiang Yu's people randomly rushed in and grabbed Princess Qingning.

Jiang Yu firmly protected Gan Peilin in his arms.

"Take the princess to see the emperor." Jiang Yu asked Qing Ning to take him away, and only then did he snatch the small jade bottle from Gan Peilin's hand. "It's good that it's just a skin wound."

Gan Peilin remembered his grandfather's words, and also remembered how much he looked forward to Jiang Yu coming. At this time, her heart suddenly became very soft. Lying on his shoulder, tears fell like rain: "It's good that you're here......"

Jiang Yu patted her on the back gently: "It was also a coincidence that I found out that King Shengqing used a stand-in." If his affairs are not clarified, the emperor will naturally not let Princess Qingning die. It's just that you're getting involved for no reason, and this matter won't just stop. Peilin, marry me. As long as you become the mistress of the Jiang Mansion, if the emperor wants to move you again, he has to think deeply. ”

"But ......" Gan Peilin stared at him: "You have repeatedly disrupted the emperor's plans for me, for the Gan Mansion and even the Xu Mansion." It is difficult to escape the suspicion of high merit and shock. Otherwise, the emperor would not have secretly cultivated Wu Wei and waited for the coming ......"

Not sure why. At this moment, Jiang Yu's heart was very warm. Gan Peilin can think about him, very good.

"Don't say one Wu Wei, even ten doesn't matter." Jiang Yu turned around suddenly, stared at a dark corner of the cell, and said with a tense face: "He is too busy to take care of himself now, what can he do to me?" Don't talk about it, I'll send you out of the palace first. ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin thought to himself, the emperor knew that Xuancheng had escaped from the palace, so naturally he didn't bother to pay attention to her. It's okay to leave the palace.

Jiang Yu was really not at ease, and kept sending Gan Peilin to the palace gate.

By this time, it was already dark.

Gan Peilin was thinking that Xu Baisen didn't know where it was, so he didn't ask yet.

A figure pounced out of the darkness. "Peilin, are you alright? I'm scared to death. ”

Xu Baisen came over and hugged Gan Peilin in his arms. "A team of Yu Lin Wei rushed out of the palace, and then there was news of locking the palace door, so I must have had an accident inside. I'm really worried about not seeing you for a long time. I almost wanted to break in and find you. ”

"I'm fine, isn't that good!" Gan Peilin didn't have time to say more.

Jiang Yu had already stepped forward, broke Xu Baisen's hand hard, and asked with a blue face, "Who is he?" ”

Gan Peilin was lifted back into his arms by him like a kitten, and the scene was so embarrassing.

"Who are you?" Xu Baisen didn't recognize Jiang Yulai.

"I'm her ......"

Gan Peilin violently covered Jiang Yu's mouth with both hands. "He's my cousin. Accompany me into the palace. It is also the meaning of the emperor. ”

Jiang Yu stared slightly, and pulled her wrist away: "Got it." ”

"This is the Grand Duke." Gan Peilin explained to Xu Baisen. If he hadn't covered Jiang Yu just now, he would definitely say things like fiancé. After all, she didn't want to hear it.

"You take Peilin back first." Jiang Yu handed the person over to Xu Baisen, and his tone was slightly cold: "There is no room for error." ”

"Naturally, I won't let her have a mistake, do I still need your advice?" Xu Baisen held Gan Peilin's hand a little unhappily: "Sister, let's go." ”

Jiang Yu was still not at ease, but he didn't follow. just ordered Lu Yao to protect him secretly.

Then, he walked to the dark and inconspicuous corner of the palace before stopping. "Come out, I've already found you."

The black figure jumped out unexpectedly and swung his fist towards Jiang Yu.

Naturally, Jiang Yu easily avoided it. "Don't look for trouble. This time, if you hadn't found out that King Shengqing had escaped from the imperial city, you would have made a contribution. I won't let you see Peilin. ”

"Don't try to be bad to her while I'm away." Wu Wei rushed up angrily and grabbed Jiang Yu's neckline: "She is mine." ”

"Hmph." Jiang Yu said scornfully: "You have the life to come back alive, but none of the soldiers who went to the west camp with you survived." What do you think the emperor will do to you? Wu Wei, don't push the disaster on her. ”

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Wu Wei puffed up and said, "I will handle my own affairs." But until I've taken care of that, don't touch a hair of her again. Otherwise, I will pull you on your back if I die. ”

"Hmph, it's not your turn to take care of my affairs either." Jiang Yu stopped talking nonsense with him, and took his hand away to tidy up his clothes. "I'm going to face the saint now. Don't follow me. ”

He left, but Wu Wei stood in place in a daze and did not move. Just now, in the prison, he clearly saw Gan Peilin shrinking in Jiang Yu's arms, looking so relieved. That act was like a knife stuck in his heart. "I'll never let her follow you!"
