Chapter 683: Epiphany Falls

"Xianglan, I want to ask you one thing, why did you assassinate the emperor?"

Xianglan has heard this question countless times, Lu Li has asked, and other jailers have also come to ask, but she didn't say a word, now that Mrs. Lu came, her answer was naturally the same, no matter who came, she would not speak.

I only saw this Xiaoman put the sachet of epiphany in front of her eyes and shook it.

"Come to think of it, you don't know that Lord Zhang Yu has been arrested by the Criminal Department, it was because of your actions that Lord Zhang Yu was harmed, don't you tell me the truth now?"

Hearing that his actions actually caused Lord Zhang Yu to be arrested, you must know that Lord Zhang Yu is so proud in his life, how could he end up in such a prison sentence.

Xianglan's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Su Xiaoman in disbelief.

This is impossible, why did they arrest Lord Zhang Yu, this was obviously done by myself, and it has nothing to do with Lord Zhang Yu at all.

Su Xiaoman sneered.

"It doesn't matter what you mean, you are from Yuzhou, and you were recommended by Lord Zhang Yu to enter the palace, saying that you were not sent by Zhang Yu, who else will believe you? Haven't you told me the truth yet. ”

"I really wasn't sent by Lord Zhang Yu!"

I saw that Xianglan was very excited at this time.

"This is impossible, Zhang An told me that as long as I do this well, the Zhang family will soar, so that Lord Zhang Yu's old age will only be more glorious, I listened to Zhang An's words, so I decided to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, besides, the emperor is so useless, there is nothing wrong with me killing him, Lord Zhang Yu has spent so much effort on him in his heart, but he still refuses to manage the government well, isn't this a waste of Lord Zhang Yu's hard work!"

Su Xiaoman closed her eyes, and sure enough, there was no difference at all as she thought, this pandan was not sent by Zhang Yu to assassinate the emperor, but was used by Zhang An at all.

So Su Xiaoman told Xianglan about Zhang An's plan as it was.

After listening to Xianglan. Tears of remorse were shed. Her eyes were full of red bloodshots, and she didn't think that because she had listened to Zhang An's slander, she would assassinate the emperor in order for Lord Zhang Yu to enjoy his old age in peace, but he didn't bring such a disaster to Lord Zhang Yu, which was really the result of her own stupidity.

Seeing Xianglan so sad, Su Xiaoman didn't know what to say, Xianglan was an orphan since she was a child, she was selected by the Zhang family, and then sent to Shangjing, she was lonely for thirteen years, she had no relatives and friends, Lord Zhang Yu was probably the first person to care about her, and even treated her as an adopted daughter, her attachment to Lord Zhang Yu was by no means unusual, at this time, she actually sent the person she admired the most into the prison cell, how could her heart not hurt.

So Su Xiaoman stretched out his hand to touch her little face, looking at this immature smiling face, Su Xiaoman couldn't bear it even more in his heart, thinking that it would be good if he could save Xianglan's life, so as not to let such a young child lose his precious life early.

Just as Su Xiaoman was comforting Xianglan, a jailer next to him hurriedly ran over and yelled at the nearby jailer.

"Oh no! Master Zhang Yu committed suicide in prison. ”

The jailer next to him listened, you must know that it is a big crime for a prisoner to commit suicide in prison, and a person like Zhang Yu, before the criminal department Shangshu has time to judge, has already committed suicide in prison, if the emperor knows, then he will blame them.

So at this moment, they all took their weapons and ran towards Zhang Yu's cell, Xianglan heard the news, and then the whole person seemed to have been drained of her soul, her teeth kept shaking, and the expressions on her faces were hideous, as if she wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

She trembled Su Xiaoman said.

"Mrs. Lu, can you help me take a look at how Lord Zhang Yu is doing?"

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he naturally nodded, and there was no problem in helping Xianglan, so he walked out of Xianglan's cell and went to Zhang Yu's cell next to him.

Inside, Zhang Yu only saw that Zhang Yu tore his clothes and connected them into strips of cloth, tied them to the beams of the cell, and finally hanged himself in the cell.

Looking at Zhang Yu's corpse, Xiao Man felt a little frightened, thinking that Zhang Yu was also because of his honor for a lifetime, this time he was actually misunderstood by the emperor to the point of asking for guilt, how could a person with strong self-esteem like him tolerate it, so he couldn't think about it for a while and hanged himself in the criminal department.

After Lu Li heard the news, he naturally hurried over, and when he saw that Xiao Man was already standing outside the cell, Lu Li gave a few orders, asking the jailers to go out and wait first, and deal with the matter here by themselves.

After the jailer left, Lu Li hurriedly hugged Xiao Man, looking at Lu Li holding Xiao Man's hand, Xiao Man's body was cold at this moment, and he was also frightened by such a scene, Lu Li hurriedly covered Xiao Man's eyes, and said slowly next to Xiao Man's ear.

"Xiaoman, don't look at it, I'll deal with this matter."

But Xiao Man's whole body began to tremble at this time, Lu Li covered Xiao Man's eyes, but he could feel that tears had welled up in Xiao Man's eyes, and the tears accumulated in his palms, making him feel that his palms were itchy.

Seeing that Xiaoman was very sad, Lu Li naturally patted her on the shoulder.

"Xiaoman, this is something that can't be helped, Lord Zhang Yu's self-esteem is too strong, and he can't tolerate insults from others, so he hanged himself, don't take this matter to heart."

Su Xiaoman suddenly threw himself into Lu Li's arms and said to Lu Li.

"It's not like this, we killed him, if it weren't for us being used by Zhang An, we wouldn't have led the emperor to blame Lord Zhang Yu, Lord Zhang Yu is a good official, he was killed alive by us!"

Lu Li also knew what Su Xiaoman meant, after all, they were indeed played by Zhang An in this matter, but it was definitely not them who caused such an ending, so he slowly hugged Su Xiaoman and let Su Xiaoman lean his head on his shoulder socket.

Feeling the warm body temperature of the landing, Su Xiaoman's heart gradually calmed down, but the self-blame in his heart could not be dispelled no matter what, as if he was a sinner, but now what is more uncomfortable than Xiaoman is Xianglan.

Xiao Man thought about it, and thought that he was still waiting for his news in the cell, and this matter couldn't be hidden, so Xiao Man came to Xianglan.

Xianglan's eyes were full of tears, staring at Xiao Man, hoping to get an answer from her, only to see Xiao Man say slowly.

"Xianglan, I don't want to hide this from you, but don't be too excited after you hear it."

Hearing Xiaoman say this, Xianglan naturally knew that Master Zhang Yu was probably already driving to the west, but at this time, she pretended to be calm and asked hoarsely.

"Mrs. Lu, how did Master Zhang Yu go?"

Xiao Man sighed and said slowly.

"Lord Zhang Yu was hanged."

Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, Xianglan suddenly closed her eyes in despair, and a lot of pictures appeared in her mind, he remembered the first time he came to Shangjing, at that time he felt that Shangjing was very strange, because the environment here was really much better than Yuzhou.

Everywhere looks incomparably rich, when she came to Zhang's house, she felt that the Zhang family was magnificent, when Lord Zhang Yu appeared in front of him for the first time, although he was already an old man, but Xianglan still felt that he was magnificent, like a big hero.

Later, when she entered the palace, she was just a low-level little palace maid at the beginning, but in order to be able to help Lord Zhang Yu in the future, she worked hard in the palace, no matter who scolded him or beat him, he never returned his mouth or beat him, and he was extremely serious in his work, so he only gained a firm foothold in the palace day by day.

The days in the palace are very miserable, so Xianglan will send a sachet to Lord Zhang Yu every year, which is embroidered with the epiphany that adults love, because he knows that Zhang Yu will invite dignitaries and nobles to enjoy the epiphany together in his mansion every year, but she does not have such an opportunity, so she can only use the sachet to express her heart.

But such a good person actually committed suicide, how could she be relieved, and what broke her heart even more was that the murderer who killed Lord Zhang Yu actually had his own share, if he hadn't stupidly listened to Zhang An's words, how could he have ended up where he is today.

Several moods were intertwined, but they directly made Xianglan faint, and when she saw Xianglan, she suddenly fainted.

Xiao Man was naturally very worried, to say that she was just a thirteen-year-old child, and neither he nor Lu Li wanted her life, so she hurriedly called Lu Li, and Lu Li naturally untied her from the wooden frame, put her down, and lay flat on the ground.

Xiao Man touched Xianglan's forehead, this Xianglan has already started a high fever, and her whole body is hot, I'm afraid that if she doesn't heal, she will only be burned into a fool by the high heat.

She sighed and said to Lu Li.

Lu Li, I think Xianglan is also a poor person, she is just being used like this, it is better to let me take him back to the Lu Mansion first, anyway, this is all your cronies, and no one else knows, but there is just a little palace maid missing, if the emperor investigates it, you should be able to prevaricate in the past.

Lu Li nodded, thinking that Xianglan's identity was humble, if the emperor smelled it in the future, he would just say that he missed it for a while and killed him, so Lu Li took Xianglan out with Su Xiaoman, put Xianglan on the carriage, and asked Su Xiaoman to take Xianglan back to Lu Mansion for treatment.

After Su Xiaoman arrived at the Lu house, he naturally immediately invited a doctor for Xianglan, and the doctor looked at Xianglan's symptoms, which were not very serious, but because of excessive fatigue and a period of emotional excitement, the wind and cold eroded the body and produced a high fever.

At this time, the doctor wrote down the prescription and handed it to Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman immediately asked Pearl to grab the medicine.

After Pearl grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, she boiled the decoction and sent it to Su Xiaoman, looking at Xianglan's miserable and pale face, Pearl also felt a little pity.

This good child has suffered so many things at such a young age, that Zhang Enke is really a brute!
