Volume 5: The Fire Phoenix Chapter 376 Drinking in Prison
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Feng asked, "Your face is not very good." β
Shangguan Jingyu shook his head, "I'm just a little worried!" β
Shangguan Feng sighed lightly, "The situation is turbulent, but don't worry, so many years of ups and downs have passed, are you afraid of now?" When he entered the court as an official, he already carried his head in his hands, and it didn't matter for a long time. β
"Daddy?" Shangguan Jingyu frowned.
"You go to rest first, and I'll ask someone to go to the palace to find out the news." Shangguan Feng said.
Shangguan Jingyu nodded, and then walked out of the house.
didn't take two steps, Shangguan Feng behind him said, "Go outside to get the water you drink." β
"Dad, do you regret it?" Shangguan Jingyu asked, "For the sake of my mother, if I die the entire Ji family, what I get is just the immortal shell of my mother." Is it worth it? β
"It's worth it." Shangguan Feng took a deep breath, "There's nothing to regret." β
Shangguan Jingyu was silent and left slowly.
If you really don't regret it, you are also deceiving yourself. How can you not regret it? What regrets is not that he saved the body of his deceased wife, but that he has done too many sins in this life, and he is afraid that one day he will be retributed to his children.
When people get old, they will inevitably think of the things they were young, and what they do is terrible even to themselves.
Return to the familiar Hongyu Pavilion, the familiar yard, the familiar flowers and trees. Even after being away for so long, everything in the yard remained the same, unchanged.
The housekeeper chattered, "Since the young lady left, Xiangye often stood alone in the courtyard in a daze. Every grass and tree, every table and chair here is what the young lady looked like when she left. Clean as usual, trim as usual, no half-point pool. Xiangye said, no matter whether the young lady comes back or not, this Hongyu Pavilion belongs to the young lady. β
Shangguan Jingyu's eyes were hot, and he didn't say anything.
The housekeeper pushed open the door, "Miss is resting." β
Everything was as usual, and Shangguan Jingyu felt that he was back in the past. The bottle in his arms woke up, Xu was urinating, and he was shouting endlessly. Only then did Shangguan Jingyu's sanity suddenly pull back.
Shangguan Zhiyuan and Xiao Yue entered the door together, and Su Yan went to the cabinet with Zhu'er.
"How's the bottle?" Xiao Yue hurriedly asked.
"It's fine." Shangguan Jingyu smiled, and then looked at Shangguan Zhiyuan, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhiyuan seems to have grown taller and matured a lot." β
Xiao Yue smiled, "If you're not here, you must learn to take it on your own." β
"Yes." Shangguan Jingyu nodded, "How is sir?" β
Hearing this, Xiao Yue glanced at Liuying outside the door, motioned for her to guard the door, and then sat down with Shangguan Zhiyuan, "Hairun, that's pretended." β
"What the hell is the idea, sir?" Shangguan Jingyu asked.
Shangguan Zhiyuan said, "Mr. is nominally grounded, but in fact he has sneaked out a long time ago." went to investigate the assassination of the emperor at the beginning, he felt that it was related to the prince, and if he found evidence, then the prince would not be the emperor. β
"It was originally done by Xiao Dongming." Shangguan Jingyu said, "You tell Mr., you don't have to check, when he sees someone, everything will be clear." β
"Who?" Xiao Yue was puzzled.
"The fine work of the Second Prince's Mansion." Shangguan Jingyu paused, "At this moment, it should be called the Prince's Mansion." β
"The prince is in charge of the country, and now that you are back, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it lightly. After my brother was escorted into the palace, I will go to the prison to see him later, what do you have to say? Xiao Yue asked.
Shangguan Jingyu shook his head, "No, not a word." β
Xiao Yue frowned, and didn't know what to say.
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhiyuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, each other's hearts are in one place, what do they know each other, do they still need to say it? After thinking about it, he got up, "Sister, don't worry, if you hold on, it will pass." β
"I know." Shangguan Jingyu nodded, looking at the two of them with a smile, "I still want to see you, marry the county lord in a beautiful manner, and be my brother and daughter-in-law!" β
Xiao Yue's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, Shangguan Zhiyuan looked stunned, and then became a little embarrassed, "What nonsense is my sister talking about, we are gentlemen's friends." β
"Ke Yue'er, in the end, she is not a gentleman, she is a woman." Shangguan Jingyu got up, "Women don't have much time to wait, it's like wearing no makeupβwaiting for a lifetime, in exchangeβ" She didn't continue, "I don't want the people around me to follow in her footsteps." β
"What's wrong with my little aunt?" Xiao Yue asked.
Shangguan Jingyu was silent.
It was this silence that made Xiao Yue understand that many things had passed, and many people were gone.
Shangguan Zhiyuan and Xiao Yue left Hongyu Pavilion, and Xiao Yue entered the palace to see Xiao Dongli and explore the situation by the way. It's just that the prison is heavily guarded, and Xiao Yue is making a lot of noise, plus being arrogant, so he can break into the prison.
Xiao Dongli is on death row, it stands to reason that without the permission of the emperor, Xiao Dongli, as the third prince, even if he escapes on the battlefield, he cannot be directly put on death row, but should be tried by the six ministries before he can be convicted.
Now this situation has shown that Xiao Dongming has started.
When Xiao Yue entered, Xiao Dongli stood there, looking at the dark skylight, handcuffed and shackled.
"Leaving my brother?" Xiao Yue shouted in a low voice.
Xiao Dongli turned around, his face was still the same, and he chuckled indifferently, "This is death row, what are you doing?" β
"Come and see you." Xiao Yue choked up, "It's not decided yet, how can they put you on death row?" β
"I'm a damned person, if it's not here, where will it be?" Xiao Dongli asked with a smile.
"How can you still laugh?" Xiao Yue's eyes were red, in her life, she had never seen Xiao Dongli so embarrassed. Xiao Dongli, in her impression, has always been indifferent and alienated, like a god from the sky. Dressed in white, even if he is in a wheelchair, he still does not change the prosperity of the eyebrows, and the so-called tea is also intoxicating.
Xiao Dongli walked over slowly, "Is it difficult to cry?" β
Xiao Yue lowered his head, "They are too ruthless, even if you don't have merit, you have hard work." β
"To win is to win, and to lose is to lose." Xiao Dongli exhaled lightly, "There are only kings and losers in the world, and there is no ruthlessness." β
"I saw the bottle." Xiao Yue raised her head, "Ah Jing and Zhu'er are very good, presumably the prime minister will protect them well." β
Xiao Dongli smiled, "I know." β
"I can't come in for long, what do you have to say to me?" Xiao Yue asked.
Xiao Dongli shook his head, "No." β
Not a word.
Xiao Yue was stunned, tears suddenly fell, "It's really the same stinky temper." Don't worry, we'll help you! After that, he ran out crying.
Xiao Dongli smiled faintly and let out a long breath.
When Xiao Yue went out, he happened to see Xiao Dongming coming in, and the prince's majesty was really extraordinary. Everywhere I went, I was shouting left and right, which was really majestic. Compared with Xiao Dongli's downfall, it is really a world of difference.
"The prince is not afraid of dirty feet when he comes to such a place?" Xiao Yue cut his teeth.
Xiao Dongming sneered, "The county lord shouldn't come." β
"You don't care if I should come or not." Xiao Yue walked away.
"Tell me to go down, no one will be allowed to visit the prison in the future, and whoever dares to approach the prison will be killed." Xiao Dongming flicked his sleeves and entered the door, so angry that Xiao Yue behind him stomped his feet, but he couldn't help it.
If this is in Ganzhou, Xiao Yue can rush up with a knife, and he will kill him first. But this is the palace, and she herself is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, where can she fight Xiao Dongming.
Snorting twice, Xiao Yue left quickly.
At least now that it is certain that no one has lynched Xiao Dongli, this is also good news.
In the lonely death row, there was only clear footsteps, one step, two steps, three or four steps, and finally stopped in front of Xiao Dongli's cell door. The cell door opened, and Xiao Dongli sat on the wooden bed, casually looking at Xiao Dongming, who ordered someone to serve wine and food. The corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the color of the eyes is calm and waveless.
The small square table is full of delicacies, a pot of fine wine, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.
The jailer presented two clean small stools, and Xiao Dongming waved back from everyone around him.
"So relieved, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Xiao Dongli asked.
The death row was pitch black, dyed with candles that flickered and flickered, and in the candlelight, Xiao Dongming looked up at Xiao Dongli with an indifferent complexion, "If the third brother wants to kill me, even if there are these people, they will be killed, right?" What's more, you won't kill me, if you kill me, Shangguan Jingyu will also have to die. β
"The second brother is very right." Xiao Dongli walked over and sat opposite Xiao Dongming.
"I didn't expect you and my brothers to have a drink here." Xiao Dongming smiled scornfully. Now one is the high-ranking prince, and the other is a desperately down-and-out prisoner, and they really can't be the same.
Xiao Dongli looked at the wine in the cup, sneered twice, and casually took off the handcuffs, which made Xiao Dongming's face stiffen. Xiao Dongli said indifferently, "This thing is too much of an obstacle, let's leave it for now!" β
He would have shrunk his bones, and these things, he wanted to get rid of, it was a very easy thing. It's just that he took it off and put it on, put it on and put it on again, and he was troublesome.
Fingertips pinched the delicate blue and white porcelain cup, Xiao Dongli looked at the mellow wine in the cup, "The so-called painful drink is only matched by like-minded people." You're better excused! But the glass of wine you toast can be toasted to him! β
After speaking, Xiao Dongli raised his hand, and the wine in the cup slowly fell to the ground, "Shaohong, try it, the wine of the Eastern Capital, respected by Prince Dashuo, are you still satisfied?" β
Xiao Dongming's eyes widened in shock, "Xiao Dongli, you-"
"Life and death in a war, reincarnation can be fun?" Xiao Dongli laughed dryly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Dongming suspiciously, "What's the matter, I forgot what I did?" Do you want me to remind you, what does Fu Shaohong's ten thousand arrows look like when he pierces his heart? Ten thousand arrows were fired, and the body was poked like a beecomb, and there was hardly a single intact skin on the corpse. I saw it with my own eyes, and I personally went to the Beizhao army to retrieve his bones. Do you know what that feels like? β
