Zhu Gong took 20,000 soldiers and horses and soon caught up with Mei Shuyu.

The two escorted the prisoner car together and returned to the capital two days later with Ye Lanying.

Ye Lanying's forces all collapsed in Luwan City that day, and no one came to save her along the way.

After Mei Shuyu returned to the capital, he asked Zhu Gong to take people back to the camp of soldiers and horses at the foot of Beijing, and he directly escorted Ye Lanying into the capital with a team of guards.

Some people are saying that the woman who secretly conceals and transports crossbow arrows in the cloth business is really bold, and some people say that Mei Shuyu is too murderous and ruthless, and he even beheaded those accomplices who transported weapons with the woman to the capital for conviction without waiting for them, which is not in line with the rules and laws of the imperial court, and I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame him.

In short, the capital has a lot of words.

The people of the Yushitai also thought about whether to participate in Mei Shuyu's book in this matter. But they didn't know about Mei Shuyu's departure from Beijing to Luwan City, and it was very secretive. It is conceivable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have ordered him to go, otherwise how could he privately transfer troops and horses from the capital to the capital? But if His Highness ordered it, then he did what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted, what else did they do?

Mei Shuyu escorted the prisoner car into the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and came directly to the East Palace.

The palace door opened, and Steward Fu showed a smiling face, "Second son, you can come back, the old slave saw that Miss Zhao was really worried for the past two days, and there was no smile on her face, so it's good that you come back safely." ”

Mei Shuyu was suddenly happy, his heart warmed, he turned over and dismounted, patted the dust on his body, and said to Steward Fu, "Fu Bo, throw this woman into the dungeon of the East Palace, order someone to watch it carefully, just don't starve her." ”

Steward Fu naturally saw the prisoner car, the woman in the prisoner car had a beautiful face, but it looked haggard and sloppy, her face was pale and she looked like she had lost too much blood, but she was weak and beautiful.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worked so hard for the sake of Southern Chu Jiangshan, and there are always people who want to ruin His Highness's hard work.

Such a little lady deserves to enter the dungeon of the East Palace.

He put away the smile on his face, tightened his face, and bowed his hand to Mei Shuyu, "Second son, don't worry, hand it over to the old slave, and the old slave promises to give her a nest head to eat every day and not let her starve to death." ”

"Okay!" Mei Shuyu waved her hand and asked, "What about Miss Zhao?" ”

"In the warm pavilion next to the study, the old slave asked people to clean up and use it as Miss Zhao's office." Fu Steward Road.

Mei Shuyu nodded, he missed Zhao Qingxi, didn't say anything more, and strode towards that place.

When he came to the study, he saw An Shuli inside, glanced at it, and turned around and entered the warm pavilion next door.

An Shuli naturally knew that Mei Shuyu was back and brought back the woman Ye Lanying, he heard the footsteps and looked up, just as he saw his figure flashing by, he went to the side, and he smiled dumbly.

He thought about it, stood up, and thought that Mei Shuyu would go to see Zhao Qingxi, I was afraid that he wouldn't come over to tell him for a while, so he went to the dungeon first to see the woman named Ye Lanying.

Xiao Zhongzi is a smart one, and when he saw An Shuli getting up, he asked tentatively, "An Zaifu, are you going to the dungeon?" ”

"Hmm!" An Shuli nodded, "Go and see." ”

Tadako immediately opened the door.

An Shuli walked out of the study, and Xiao Zhongzi immediately followed behind him. Since Yun Chi left, he has become a little eunuch waiting for An Shuli.

Zhao Qingxi is buried in the bookcase, since Yun Chi promoted her to the court, she sleeps almost two hours a day, and she is focused on getting acquainted with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and now that she has finally started, An Shuli unceremoniously threw her a lot of affairs, and her busy eyes blackened, as if she was about to become that pile of files.

When Mei Shuyu pushed the door and came in, she saw Zhao Qingxi writing with her head buried in her pen, and the pile of files on the desk almost blocked her face, leaving only one head.

He quietly closed the door and walked up to her, and she didn't even notice.

So, Mei Shuyu didn't bother her, and sat down opposite her, he wanted to see when she found him and surprise him.

But he waited for a long time, but Zhao Qingxi didn't even raise his head, but instead made him sleepy. On this trip out of Beijing, he has not rested well, and the rustle of Zhao Qingxi's pen is really hypnotic, he first dozed off, and then unconsciously tilted his head and fell asleep on the desk.

Therefore, when Zhao Qingxi finally got tired after a while and raised her head, she saw a figure lying on her stomach not far from her, she was stunned for a moment, and then saw clearly that it was Mei Shuyu, and her eyes widened.

When did he return to Beijing? And when did it come?

Is he asleep?

She slowly put down her pen, stood up, walked to Mei Shuyu's side, and called him softly, "Mei Shuyu? ”

Mei Shuyu moved, seemed to be very sleepy, and did not wake up.

Zhao Qingxi saw that he obviously didn't even change his clothes after returning to Beijing, so he was so tired that he slept quietly on the table with her. She remembered the news that had reached Beijing yesterday that he had intercepted a caravan carrying crossbow arrows in Luwan City, and that the woman had openly resisted, and that he had seized her, and then, it was said that in a fit of rage, he had beheaded many people.

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she also knew how shocking that scene was, he was decisive in killing, and now in front of him, he collected all the flamboyance and sharpness, and he was just a tired and quiet teenager.

Her heart was so warm that she couldn't do it, so she took her cloak from the side and gently put it on his body.

At this time, I couldn't bear to wake him up again, so let him sleep.

An Shuli came to the dungeon, and Ye Lanying had been locked up in the dungeon by Steward Fu.

When Steward Fu saw An Shu leaving, he bowed his hand to him, "An Zaifu, do you want to interrogate this woman?" ”

"I'll take a look." Anshu left the road.

Steward Fu nodded, and accompanied An Shuli into the dungeon.

The dungeon of the East Palace, most of the time, is actually nothing, because Yun Chi rarely does unpleasant things in the ground, and only the prisoners who are involved in major cases will be placed in the dungeon if they are not at ease in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

Therefore, the dungeon is very clean, but there is inevitably a cold, damp musty smell that does not see the light of day all year round.

Because Ye Lanying was a repeat offender, Steward Fu threw her into the innermost cell.

An Shuli walked slowly to the innermost, and saw the woman leaning against the wall, sitting inside, even if it was such a cell, Steward Fu still locked her wrists and ankles in heavy handcuffs and ankles in order to double insure her.

Hearing the movement, Ye Lanying raised her head, looked out of the iron fence, and saw An Shuli.

An Shuli's body used to have a gentle temperament like a breeze and a bright moon, but since he entered the dynasty and became An Zaifu, his temperament has gradually changed, and there is a kind of coercion in his sparse and gentle, which is inconsistent with his age, but it is strangely integrated with his previous breath.

Ye Lanying looked at An Shuli, and suddenly thought about Yun Rang very much, Yun Rang's body was more of the smell of pen and ink and books, but unfortunately, he never let her get close, every time he stood two or three steps away to talk to her, but she could also smell the ink fragrance on his body.

Ye Lanying is smart, so when she saw An Shuli for the first time, she stared at him and asked, "An Zaifu?" ”

An Shuli stood outside the iron railing, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Ye Lanying for a long time, squinted his eyes and said, "Miss Ye is in the same vein as the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, it seems that she has something to do with it, right?" ”

Ye Lanying was taken aback, she didn't expect An Shuli's first words to her to be this.

Butler Fu and Xiao Zhongzi, who were accompanying An Shuli, were also surprised, and the two of them looked at Ye Lanying in unison. Steward Fu has never been to Southern Xinjiang, and he has never seen anyone in the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, but Xiao Zhongzi has been there and seen it, he has looked at it carefully for a long time, and he also found that this Ye Lanying's eyebrows and eyes seem to have a little shadow of Ye Xiangming, the princess of Southern Xinjiang.

Just when Ye Lanying was shocked, An Shuli turned around and walked out, without asking her a second sentence.

Steward Fu and Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly followed, and Xiao Zhongzi asked in a low voice, "An Zaifu, why did you come out so quickly?" What about the woman who hasn't been interrogated yet? ”

"There's no need for trial." An Shuli said in a deep voice, "She is the bloodline of the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, there should be no doubt." I am afraid that I will not say anything about interrogation. ”

"Then let's do it." Xiao Zhongzi hates people who want to rebel to death, he is the same as Steward Fu, how tired is His Royal Highness? Some people just don't want to live a peaceful life, and if they want to rebel, they should die if they make weapons privately.

An Shuli smiled, "The punishment is simple, but a hard-boned woman like her will not say anything even if she is tortured." After the words fell, he said, "Her reaction just now has already told me the answer, there is no need to be tortured, let her live a few more days!" After all, her identity is the adopted daughter of the King of Lingnan, and it is related to the Lingnan Palace, and the crime of the royal family still needs to be decided by His Royal Highness. ”
