Chapter 40: Prison Visits
The eldest lady who was sent back to the courtyard angrily smashed the things in the room, and Mama Gu saw her sitting at the table panting, so she stepped forward and said, "Madam, the most important thing now is to think about how to save the eldest young master." ”
The eldest lady was almost angry in her heart, walked around the house a few times, made up her mind, walked to the desk and asked Mama Zhang to grind the ink, and said, "I want to write a letter to my father and let him come up with ideas." ”
It didn't take long for the eldest lady to write a letter and say to Mama Zhang, "Mama Zhang, you personally send this letter to the Qin Mansion, remember to hand it over to my father yourself." ”
Mama Zhang put the letter in her arms and said respectfully, "Madame, don't worry, the slave will be delivered." ”
After Yue Chongshan entered the palace, he was stopped outside the imperial study, Gonggong Xu just said that the emperor was unwell and was resting, Yue Chongshan did not dare to make a mistake, so he had to kneel outside the door, and his haggard appearance made people shake their heads and sigh.
"Min Hao, what do you say Yue Bu should do?" In the imperial study, the emperor stood at the window and looked at Yue Chongshan, who was kneeling outside.
"Kill such a person." Nalan Minhao sat cross-legged under the imperial case, pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in his heart, "Well, this grape is so sweet, I will have to let the frost send some to Xiao Fan'er later." ”
"But after all, the Yue family is a family of Jiangmen, and they have merit in the country." The emperor turned his head to look at Nalan Minhao and said, "But if it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will not be able to calm the people's grievances." ”
"The emperor also said that the people's grievances are relatively big, I think the emperor will casually sentence what kind of street parade, five horses and corpses or something, isn't it good." Nalan Minhao said with a look of indifference: "As long as the Yue family is let go, the Yue family is afraid that they will still be grateful to the emperor." ”
"Hmm." A gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he walked up to Nalan Minhao and asked, "I heard that you have been quite close to the third child recently?" ”
Although the emperor knew that these princes of his would one day kill each other for the throne, he didn't want to admit that if Nalan Minhao supported the three princes, it would affect his decision.
"Xiao San'er plays chess well, but recently I heard that the prince has a winning general, I have to go, if I can win a few, then invite the emperor to eat the most famous roast duck in the capital." Nalan Minhao got up and patted his buttocks, picked up the glass fruit plate with grapes again, and said with a smile, "I can take the grapes, so I'll go and win the silver taels of roast duck for the emperor." ”
Seeing Nalan Minhao swaying away with his body, the emperor shook his head and said with a smile, "It seems that it is not bad to divide the corpses of five horses." ”
In order to appease the people's grievances, he paraded through the streets for three days, and then divided the corpses of five horses. Yue Chongshan, as a father, taught his son to be derelict in his duties, took the position of the waiter, and was demoted to the Hanlin Academy, and was punished for three years. As soon as the holy oracle came out, the people clapped their hands and applauded, and the gate of Yue's house was closed, and everyone in the house did not leave the house, which could not resist the anger of the people, and the door of Yue's house was often in a mess.
On this day, the little goblin flew from outside the house, still holding a delicate small fruit basket in his mouth, Cuiyan hurriedly walked over to pick it up and put it in front of Qianfan.
Seeing the crystal clear purple grapes in the fruit basket, Qian Fan turned his head and asked, "Where did you steal it from?" ”
"The son of the world is a thief, and the son of the world is a thief." The leprechaun shook his ass and came up flatteringly, "Grapes, grapes." ”
"You gluttonous little thing." Qian Fan pinched a grape and handed it to the little goblin, and said with a smile, "Fly around, be careful of being caught and turned into a roast chicken!" ”
"Divine Bird, Divine Bird!" The goblin's eyes widened and he was angry.
"You're a pervert at best." Qian Fan stretched out his slender fingers, flicked the little goblin's bird head and smiled: "Don't eat it, this is for me." ”
"Xiao Fan'er, stingy." The goblin flew out in a huff.
"It's all used to coming out in winter, and the temper is not small." Qian Fan chuckled, turned his head to Cui Yan and said, "The letter sent by the eldest lady, has Mama Zhang delivered it?" ”
"Girl, Mama Zhang went to the Qin Mansion with the letter, but the old lady of the Qin Mansion directly refused." Cui Yan answered.
"No one in the Qin Mansion is stupid, who wants to cause a commotion at this juncture?" Qian Fan sneered.
"In the past few days, Yue has no time to be paraded through the streets every day, the people throw dung, throw vegetable leaves, eggs, and do everything, if it is not for the protection of officers and soldiers, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait to be divided by five horses."
"But it seems a little too cheap for him." Knocking on the table, Qianfan whispered a few words in Cui Yan's ear, Cui Yan's eyes lit up, nodded and hurried away.
In the middle of the night, Qian Fan, who was dressed in a bright brocade robe, turned into a Qingqi boy again, she followed behind Nalan Minhao, and just walked to the door of the death row in Shuntian Mansion, but found a man dressed in black waiting there, and when she saw Nalan Minhao and others coming, she immediately greeted her, "Lord Shizi, my subordinates have already taken care of it." ”
Nalan Minhao nodded and motioned for him to open the door, and seeing that it was a little dark inside the death row, he turned around and stretched out his hand, "Be careful of the steps." ”
Qian Fan was slightly stunned and did not speak, put his hand in Nalan Minhao's hand, and let him lead him to the depths of death row, the man in black did not follow, and only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard in the corridor.
Death row is just like the appearance of the Punishment Division in Qianfan's memory, narrow, with a bloody and disgusting taste.
The dark corridors were lined with empty cells, and the occasional prisoner or two rushed to the door at the sound of the sound, their shackles clanging, and they did not speak, but stretched out their hands as if to ask them what they wanted.
Qian Fan trembled involuntarily, and the memories of being tortured in the Shen Criminal Division in her previous life came flooding back again, making her feel that it was a little difficult to even breathe.
Nalan Minhao, who had been holding her hand, sensitively sensed that Qianfan was wrong, took her into his arms, and stood quietly in place.
Qian Fan listened to Nalan Minhao's heartbeat, gradually calmed down, and took a deep breath before speaking, "Let's go." ”
Nalan Minhao didn't say much, just took her hand and continued to move forward, and when she walked to the room in the back, Qian Fan saw a prisoner squatting in the corner with a cloak and a foul smell, it was Yue Bufang.
"Big brother, you will be executed tomorrow, and my sister has come to see you."
Qian Fan's cold voice sounded, Yue Bu was shocked, stared at Qian Fan with wide eyes, and rushed up frantically, but was pulled back by the chains fixed on the wall, the hatred in his eyes seemed to want to tear apart the girl in front of him, and roared hoarsely, "Yue Qianfan!" You hurt me! Isn't it! Isn't it! ”
"Where did this come from, big brother?" Qian Fan smiled faintly and said: "Big brother because he hurt his body, so that his heart changed greatly, he was cruel and tyrannical, and even killed people, tsk, big brother, do you think those kind people can tolerate you living like this?" ”
"You slut! You will be punished! You won't be able to ......" Nalan Minhao's fingers moved, and a pill bounced into Yue Buyi's mouth, and Yue Buxuan was speechless for a moment.
"It's a lot quieter, isn't it?" Qian Fan looked at Yue Bufang with a smile, and said: "My sister heard that the eldest brother will be punished tomorrow with five horses, thinking that the eldest brother will always send something before leaving, the medicine you just took is not just so simple that you can't speak, but the eldest brother actually you really don't have to worry, this medicine will only make your perception magnified a hundred times, even if someone else pokes it lightly, you will die of pain, do you like this gift?" ”
Yue Buyi's heart welled up with infinite fear, he looked at the girl with a bright smile, and said these words with a smile, but it seemed that he was just talking about the weather today.
"Don't look at me with that fearful gaze, you should hate me," Qianfan said softly, as if coaxing an ignorant child, "You don't have to worry that you will be alone, because it won't be long before your mother and your sister will accompany you." ”
"Don't ......" Seeing her smile and turn around, Yue Bu didn't have time to move forward, wanting to grab her, but the pain from the arm that was locked in chains made him curl up on the ground in pain in an instant, like a cooked shrimp.
"Big brother, I advise you to enjoy the night of this last night." Qian Fan looked at Yue Buflawed, who fell to the ground trembling, sneered, and left without looking back.
Before Qianfan could open his mouth after leaving the death row, he was wrapped in a cloak by Nalan Minhao, picked up and flew away, and did not stop until Wuling Peak.
"This is the summit of Wuling Peak?" Qian Fan raised his head from Nalan Minhao's arms and looked at the surrounding scenery and spoke.
"Yes, it's the best place to see the moonlight." Nalan Minhao's stunning face, which made the sun and the moon fade, shined brightly under the moonlight, "When I was in the capital, I often came here to admire the moon. ”
"Are you saying that you were left in the capital when you were a child?" Qian Fan raised his head and looked at him, "Why did the emperor let you go later?" ”
"Because I've become what he wants him to be." Nalan Minhao chuckled, "The son of the world who does all kinds of evil, at that time, as long as the people in the capital mentioned the prince of Nalan, it can be said that they were frightened." ”
"Nalan Minhao, not in the future." Qian Fan heard the slightest hint of self-deprecation in Nalan Minhao's tone, and said softly, "I will protect you." "Anyway, there are too many people she has to deal with, and it's okay to protect one more person, right?
Nalan Minhao held her tender little hand, looked at her black and white eyes, and the faint moonlight shone on her body, which seemed to coat her with a faint silver glow, hazy and elegant, like a fairy who fell into the world.
"Big brother, with me, you won't die!" The young Qianfan and the current her suddenly overlapped, and Nalan Minhao only felt as if her heart had been hit hard by something, and only a soft and gentle piece was left in her heart.
"Fan'er, if there's something wrong, can you tell me?"
Smart as a thousand sails, he knew in his heart that Fang Cai's own inappropriateness had caused him to be puzzled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Sensing Qianfan's silence, Nalan Minhao subconsciously thought that Qianfan must have suffered a lot of grievances, only to feel that his heart was becoming softer and softer, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to say it, I will wait until the day when you are willing to tell me." ”
Neither of them spoke, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, there was a rare quiet and warm feeling between the two, but they didn't expect the little goblin's voice to suddenly sound, "Shizi, pervert!" ”<
