Gao Ling moved very quickly, and as soon as the drum of the third watch day rang, the door of the heavenly prison rang out.

In the silent space, it echoed far away, startling several sleeping prisoners to wake up immediately.

Murong Zhao sat cross-legged in the center of the cell, his handsome face softened by the moonlight. Yang Qiqi was like a quiet and lazy cat, sleeping lightly in his arms.

His soft hand gently stroked Yang Qiqi's hair scattered on his shoulders, and swept over her shoulders very lightly.

When the sound of iron chains colliding with the cell floor sounded, Murong Zhao opened his eyes slightly impatiently, and the arm that was stroking Yang Qiqi also stopped instantly.

Yang Qiqi didn't move, but opened his eyes slightly.

Outside the prison, a eunuch entered the door with a pot of wine and two cups. Looking at the eunuch's uniform, it was exactly what the second-class eunuch in front of the emperor often wore, but Murong Zhao was very fond of this person's face.

The eunuch entered the door, his face extremely solemn. His eyebrows didn't move, he pointed his throat, and said gloomily: "Your Majesty Xuan's dictation, the eleventh prince Murong Zhao and Yang Qiqi will be given poisonous wine." ”

Yang Qiqi's heart shook slightly, and his body trembled unconsciously. Murong Zhao sat as steady as Mount Tai, but patted Yang Qiqi's back more gently, and comforted: "You don't have to pay attention, just close your eyes and recuperate, you will inevitably have to toss tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Qiqi's round eyes rolled, staring at Murong Zhao's gentle and soft, undisturbed expression, Yang Qiqi felt extremely relieved in his heart. She replied softly, still buried in Murong Zhao's generous and warm embrace.

Seeing Murong Zhao's calm and calm expression, the eunuch couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, his heart became weak, and he pretended to be calm: "Bold!" The emperor has issued a holy decree, and you dare to flout the holy decree. ”

Murong Zhao didn't look at the eunuch, but just said coldly with an expressionless face: "If Your Majesty has the heart to kill me, he will not wait for this time to let people come." Do you think that if Your Majesty sends me to prison, you people will pretend to pass on the holy decree and let you do it? ”

The eunuch was stunned, pretending to be calm and instructed the guards outside the prison to say, "What are you still doing in a daze, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect it?" ”

One of the guards said: "Father-in-law, you don't have the emperor's holy decree, and you are only afraid of ......."

"Afraid of what? This kind of thing, how could Your Majesty send it down with a clear decree and a handful of instructions? Naturally, it's oral! When the prisoner does not obey, you hold him back. When they are disposed of, the miscellaneous family will ask the emperor for credit for the two of you. ”

Murong Zhao raised his eyes slightly, raised his sword eyebrows, and said, "If you guys think that you will live a long life, you can help him." I would like to advise you, if Your Majesty really has an edict, he will never let such a little-known person come, and he must let the chief manager of the Imperial Court personally give the edict. For now, you two might as well watch from the wall, and come more reliably. ”

Murong Zhao's words moved one person, and he pulled the other person to whisper something, and these guards didn't come forward.

The eunuch immediately rose to his feet and shouted in a shrill voice, "Do you dare to disobey the holy decree? Mr. He still has to be an errand by His Majesty's side, how can he have that time to do such a thing! ”

Murong Zhao looked at the eunuch coldly, silently, and his eyes were extremely cold. The eunuch who saw it had a chill down his spine, and immediately regretted it. But he has already come, as if there is no way back.

At this time, violent footsteps sounded in the prison again. Before everyone could come to their senses, the guards in charge of the prison rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Take down this eunuch who pretended to pass the holy decree for me." ”

When the eunuch saw the incident at the east window, his legs first weakened, and he trembled with fright.

The chief guard stepped forward respectfully, saluted Murong Zhao first, and said, "Your Highness Eleventh, Your Majesty invites you to go to the front of the palace to speak, and the Queen Mother also asked someone to pick up Princess Rongping and return to Huacheng Courtyard to prepare for tomorrow's canonization ceremony." ”

Murong Zhao snorted, and he was a little reluctant to get up and leave immediately.

Yang Qiqi opened his eyes, he was very unsure, he followed Murong Zhao out of the door, and asked him: "The emperor suddenly has such a will, is it planned to do something that has not happened?" ”

Murong Zhao rubbed her hair, leaned closer to Yang Qiqi and whispered, "You don't have to think about it, just leave the rest to me." Today's events have already happened, and it's too late to pretend to be confused. If my father really plans to pretend to be confused, then let's elope! ”

Yang Qiqi couldn't cry or laugh when Murong Zhao said this, but he turned his face up, his eyes flashed with a soft light, and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Murong Zhao got Yang Qiqi's words, his heart was very ironing, and he couldn't help but smile and grabbed Yang Qiqi's shoulder, raised the cloak, and draped it on Yang Qiqi's body, "It's cold at night, be careful not to be cold." When you go back to Huachengyuan, you don't have to think about anything, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and sleep early. ”

Yang Qiqi nodded to Murong Zhao, turned around and left with the female officer of the Transformation Courtyard who had come to pick her up.

Murong Zhao went and returned, and at this time, only one He Qingtai was left in front of the palace. Seeing that Murong Zhao had arrived, he also obediently retreated from the inner hall.

Emperor Yonghui had already changed into bright yellow bedclothes, and when he saw Murong Zhao entering the door with a radiant look, he immediately had a headache. His son, who is really looking to himself everywhere, is also full of stubbornness with this confidence.

Murong Zhao lifted his placket and knelt straight in front of Emperor Yonghui, his back straight.

"The sons see their father, their father is blessed with Jin'an, and Changle is not young."

Emperor Yonghui waved his hand irritably and said, "I will guard you, and don't think about Wanfu Jin'an." I heard that someone from the imperial front went to the prison and sent you poisoned wine? ”

Murong Zhao's face did not change, he smiled faintly, and said decisively: "Father, that is not the person in front of the emperor. ”

Emperor Yonghui raised his eyebrows and asked Murong Zhao, "How do you know that it is not the person in front of the emperor?" ”

Murong Zhao said with a smile: "If my father really wants to give his son a minister, he will never send such a person." Moreover, Erchen doesn't think that you will give Erchen and Xiaoqi to death. ”

Emperor Yonghui smiled coldly, pursed his lips and said unhappily: "You would like to!" I canonized Yang Qiqi as Princess Rongping, and the queen and Li Guifei didn't have time to hide on either side, so Lao Qi immediately pulled Wei Yufei to be a shield. It's good for you, others go back, you want to go up! I don't want to kill you, but I can punish you for a few years! ”

Murong Zhao smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said with a particularly sly look in his eyes: "Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter is too much. People who are really weak in heart will be busy at this time and retreat. If the father does not agree with the son to marry Xiao Qi, the son will use other methods to go. ”

Emperor Yonghui glared at Murong Zhao, and said very unhappily: "You can go back to the mansion for me now, and early tomorrow morning, I will still canonize Yang Qiqi as the lord of Rongping County as usual." ”

Murong Zhao immediately kowtowed to thank the Holy Grace, Emperor Yonghui was stunned, pointed at Murong Zhao and said, "You kid, don't make me look like I am determined to win!" ”

"My father has my father's Zhang Liangji, and my son has my son's ladder over the wall. Erchen has already expressed his heart to you, and he will no longer hinder you from canonizing Xiaoqi. Ke'er Chen, in this life and this life, she is not the only one who does not marry! After Murong Zhao finished speaking, he bowed to Emperor Yonghui again.

Emperor Yonghui looked at Murong Zhao's extremely serious expression, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a little hairy. He couldn't guess what this son, who was most like him, would do next. But he faintly felt that as long as Murong Zhao wanted to do it, he would definitely be able to do it.

As soon as Murong Zhao stepped out of the inner hall with his front feet, Emperor Yonghui immediately summoned He Qingtai and said, "You go and send someone to keep an eye on the Eleventh Prince's Mansion to see what he is going to do?" Also, the second-class eunuch, let him vomit everything he should vomit. ”

He Qingtai wiped his sweat and whispered to Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, the second-class eunuch is dead. As soon as he was taken into custody, he was frightened alive, and he was really unproductive. ”

Emperor Yonghui's eyes were extremely sharp, and he said unhappily: "How did he get the clothes in front of the emperor, and how did he get into the heavenly prison smoothly!" Who it is, I want to find out right away! ”

He Qingtai said: "Your Majesty, the clothes in front of the emperor are all sent to the Huanyi Bureau for washing. If you open your mouth from the Huanyi Bureau, let alone be able to wear the clothes of the eunuchs in front of the palace, or the clothes of the head of each room, then there will be no more problems. ”

Emperor Yonghui simply ordered: "Then check from the Huanyi Bureau, there are always clues." ”

He Qingtai immediately responded, turned around and hurriedly retreated.

This night, Emperor Yonghui almost stayed awake all night, and when the drum of the fourth watch sounded, Emperor Yonghui suddenly turned over and stood up, called He Qingtai and others into the door and asked, "What is the news from the Eleventh Prince's Mansion?" ”

He Qingtai actually said with some trepidation: "Back to Your Majesty, after the eleventh prince returned to the house, he asked people to invite Yuan Sangongzi." He also summoned a few cronies who went to Nanliang with him. Not only that, but the eleventh prince also made a big fanfare about the Roman car and packed his luggage, I don't know what he was going to do! ”

Emperor Yonghui slapped his thigh, shocked beyond measure, and said, "Dead boy! How dare you blatantly call me on the board! ”

He Qingtai shrunk his neck and whispered to Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, Miss Yang Qi is not a flood beast, her identity, family background, appearance, and talent are all as compatible with our Eleventh Highness." The two of them are together, and it is a match made in heaven. You are gracious, and you have fulfilled the wish of His Highness Eleven. Besides, look at it, His Highness Eleventh has grown so big, has you taken the initiative to ask for anything. If His Royal Highness Eleventh really wants to take Princess Rongping to Nanliang, it will really be more than worth the loss! ”

Emperor Yonghui fell into deep thought, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He Qingtai was paying attention to Emperor Yonghui's expression on the side, and he didn't dare to say too much.

In the end, Emperor Yonghui suddenly let out a long sigh, and turned his head to say something to He Qingtai.

He Qingtai thought that he was going to order him to cancel the canonization ceremony, but he saw that Emperor Yonghui turned his head again. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the canonization ceremony ......?"

"It's going to be held as usual!"
