The queen handed the ginseng tea in both hands to the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you are like this, the concubines look distressed." Even Yong'er feels sorry for you, no, the injury is not healed yet, so he took someone to help you catch Xiao Lingwei. ”

"What?" The emperor raised his head and said in surprise: "Yong'er also went?" ”

"Hmm." The queen nodded and continued: "Yong'er heard that Your Majesty has been having trouble sleeping and eating for Xiao Lingwei's affairs in the past few days, so she wanted to share your worries, so she took someone to search for Xiao Lingwei. The concubines couldn't resist him, so they had to go with him. ”

"Yong'er is a filial child." After the emperor said this, he took the ginseng tea in her hand.

After taking a sip, he suddenly asked Gonggong Hai: "Those ministers are still kneeling in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

Gonggong Hai replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, they have been kneeling for two hours. ”

"Pedantic." The emperor couldn't help but scold, these old stubborns, one day he will throw them all into prison.

In order to keep his ears quiet, he had to hide in the queen's place, but he didn't expect those old stubborns to refuse to leave.

It's disgusting.

"Ignore them, go put out a notice..."

......

"Miss, it's not good." Lan Mei ran into the yard in a panic.

Shen Niangzi scolded her in a low voice: "I'm going to die, so loud." Be quiet, don't alarm anyone. ”

Although there is no one else in this yard, everyone is still very careful.

Lan Mei gasped and whispered, "Miss, it's not good, I went to the market to buy something just now, and I saw a notice posted by the government that said that the lord and lady would be beheaded at noon tomorrow." ”

"What?" Xiao Ling stood up in surprise and was about to rush out.

Lan Hai grabbed her stiffly: "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to save my father." Xiao Lingwei's eyes were full of worry.

Lan Hai pressed her down and sat on the chair, and patiently persuaded: "Miss, this is obviously a trap, this is to lure you out." ”

Xiao Ling asked slightly: "What if they really cut my father and mother tomorrow?" ”

Lan Hai choked and was speechless.

Xiao Ling stood up slightly: "So, I have to save my father." ”

Shen You walked in from outside and said to Xiao Lingwei: "Miss, the toxins in your body have not been completely removed now, and your force has dropped greatly, even if you recover your internal strength, they will definitely lay a net, and you will undoubtedly throw yourself into the net."

"At that time, not only did they not rescue the lord and madam, but they will also put you in, so why did the lord and madam work so hard to send you out?"

Xiao Ling paused slightly, returned to the chair and sat down, looking a little depressed: "Then what should I do?" I can't watch my father and mother be beheaded, even if I exchange my life, as long as my father and mother are okay, I am willing. ”

Lan Hai was heartbroken when she heard this, and stepped forward to comfort her: "Miss, if you sacrifice your life in exchange for the lives of the lord and the lady, presumably the lord and the lady will not be willing, they would prefer to see you live well."

"Miss, you are in a hurry, there is still a period of time until tomorrow afternoon, we will definitely find a way to save them after a long view."

Xiao Ling raised her head slightly to look at her, and saw that her eyes were full of encouragement and hope, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little calmer.

She looked at the other people in the room, and they all looked at her with encouraging and trusting eyes, as if to say, "Miss, don't worry, there will be a way."

Looking at them, Xiao Ling was very moved, and her heart was full of strength, even if she couldn't transform, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, she must go to the execution ground and rescue her father.

......

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun were taken into a palace, and when they came in, they were stunned for a moment when they saw the emperor sitting on it, and then saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was still very satisfied with their attitude, and said slowly: "You really don't know Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts? ”

The two said in unison: "The minister doesn't know." ”

The emperor glanced at them, whether they knew it or not, he now had a way to deal with Xiao Lingwei.

"In the past, you thought that Xiao Lingwei was the daughter of the Xiao family, and you connived at her in every way, I can understand it. But now that you know the truth, Xiao Lingwei is no longer the Xiao family, and you are still helping her, it would be too ignorant.

"She is a thief, if you still hide it for her, then you are complicit in the rebellion, you have to think clearly."

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun were silent.

The emperor continued: "I know that you are deeply affectionate, but don't forget, you are the descendants of the Xiao family, so you must think about the Xiao family and maintain the honor of the Xiao family for a hundred years. If the Xiao family's century-old foundation is destroyed in your hands, you are the sinners of the Xiao family. ”

This is already a clear threat, if they help Xiao Lingwei, it will destroy the Xiao family.

Xiao Lingfeng thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right, we are the Xiao family, so we should protect the family, you can rest assured, we will never ignore the Xiao family's own people for the sake of people with foreign surnames." ”

Xiao Lingyun also took a stand: "The minister is the same as the eldest brother. ”

Seeing their statement, the emperor was very satisfied, smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, I know that you are good courtiers who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and you are young heroes. ”

When the two heard the emperor's praise, their faces were also unwavering.

But the next moment, the emperor's words made the two of them want to kill.

"I order you to reinstate your official and immediately search for Xiao Lingwei, I will only give you one day, before noon tomorrow, if you haven't caught Xiao Lingwei, then Xiao Linhui and his wife can only be beheaded."

Xiao Lingfeng was anxious: "Why? My father and mother clearly did not commit a crime, they kept to themselves, and my father was a good official who was loved by the people, and His Majesty could not kill my father and mother for no reason. ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "They harbor the anti-thief Xiao Lingwei is enough to be beheaded, don't think I don't know, the Ming Mansion in Yangliu Lane is Yang Huijun's private property." ”

Xiao Lingyun retorted: "His Royal Highness did not find Xiao Lingwei in the Ming Mansion, so it can be seen that my father and mother did not harbor Xiao Lingwei. ”

"Han Tong caught the girl next to Xiao Lingwei, doesn't this explain the problem? It's just that Xiao Ling ran fast and didn't catch it. The emperor turned to look at them with a fierce gaze: "Whether they harbored Xiao Lingwei or not, you know it." ”

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun choked, did not admit or refute, at this moment, it was meaningless to say that there was nothing, the emperor had already decided in his heart that they knew Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts, and the emperor would not believe anything they said.

"Not only Xiao Linhui and his wife, but also your wife and son, if I don't see Xiao Lingwei before noon tomorrow, they will all die."

The hearts of the two sank to the bottom, and when they thought of their parents, their wives, and their ignorant sons, their hearts hurt like pins and needles.

The two walked out of the temple door with heavy steps and met Li Xuan under the porch.

Li Xuan said: "I have something to say to you. ”

"We don't have anything to say to Your Highness." Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun resolutely bypassed him and left.

Li Xuan shouted at their backs, "It's about Xiao Lingwei." ”

It's a pity that the two of them didn't seem to hear it, and their footsteps didn't stop...
