Chapter 142: Secret Conversation (1)
Chu Yu and Jiang Huai walked out of the prison. The two men's eyes were moist, but neither said anything. The two of them turned back to back, quietly wiped away the tears that had been pouring from their eyes, and then turned around.
Chu Yu said, "Now that we can't find witnesses and can't save Ning'er, what should we do about this matter?" If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Ning'er will ...... her."
Jiang Huai said inexplicably, "How can the emperor allow this villain to torture her?" ”
"Lord Wang, what do you mean that there is a chance to find the emperor in this matter?"
Jiang Huai was suddenly startled, and said to Chu Yu, "This king will enter the palace to intercede with the emperor now." The emperor is already dissatisfied with you, and it is best for you to stay in the palace at this time. When the king comes back from the palace, he will tell you. ”
"Okay." I don't know if Jiang Huai went to see Jiang Che and had a chance of life. But you have to give it a try.
Jiang Huaizuo said goodbye to Chu Yu and immediately rushed to the palace.
"Lord, don't embarrass the old slave, the emperor is resting at this moment, and it is inconvenient to see the prince." Jiang Huai wanted to see Jiang Che, but was stopped at the door by Guan Lisheng.
Jiang Huai was already impatient, and said, "He knows that this king is here because of the princess, so he doesn't want to see this king, right?" ”
Seeing Jiang Huai say it directly, Guan Lisheng said, "The emperor is not comfortable in his heart, if you go in, it will only make it more difficult for the emperor." ”
"What is he embarrassed about? If he was uncomfortable, he shouldn't let the princess go to prison. Get out of the way of the king. ”
Guan Lisheng persuaded with good words, "Lord Wang, you are guilty of breaking in like this." The prince ......"
"What is the blame, this king will bear it alone." With that, Jiang Huai directly pushed away the pipe and strode in.
After entering, I saw Jiang Che sitting there, holding a copy of the recital in his hand. When Jiang Huai broke in, Jiang Che was not surprised.
After Guan Lisheng came in, he said, "Your Majesty, the prince ...... him."
"It's okay, you make Uncle Huang a cup of tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Guan Lisheng retreated, Jiang Che looked at Jiang Huai and said, "If the imperial uncle came here for the princess, then there is no need to talk to me." ”
Jiang Huai still said, "Does the emperor really want to kill the princess?" If the emperor only needs one result, why should he let Shen Lian torture her? ”
"What did you say?" Jiang Che was also taken aback and asked, "You said Shen Lian tortured her?" ”
Seeing Jiang Che's reaction, Jiang Huai was a little suspicious in his heart, but he still said, "After entering the prison and handing it over to the Criminal Department, can anyone still come out intact?" Can the emperor imagine what the princess looks like now? ”
Jiang Che's heart also tightened. But he also knew that he couldn't go back on anything. went to the prison and handed over to the criminal department, and many things were not for him to ask about. Naturally, the Criminal Department has a set of methods for interrogation.
It's just that he didn't expect this, and he didn't expect that Shen Lian had already tortured her.
But he thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Huang, are you in the prison?" ”
"Yes!" Jiang Huai replied frankly, "If it weren't for the prison, the minister wouldn't know that the princess had been tortured like that." ”
"She, really ......" wanted to be concerned about Jiang Huan's situation, but he suddenly stopped. In front of Jiang Huai, he was still an emperor, and he shouldn't show this. Jiang Che turned to ask, "Uncle Huang, if you trespass into the prison, you will be criticized." I don't understand, don't you have any deep friendship with the princess? ”
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The minister does have some friendship with the princess in private. Moreover, the minister admires the princess's personality and regards her as a good friend of the minister. ”
"Good friends? I heard a good friend from Uncle Huang, and it was the first time I really heard it. It seems that this princess is indeed extraordinary. Uncle Huang actually asked me to go back, the criminal department will give me an explanation for this matter. ”
Jiang Huai said, "Your Majesty, can't you really save the princess?" She had a life-saving grace for the emperor at the beginning. Even if she is really not the fourth lady of the Xie family? What is the difference between this in the palace of the king of Yu and the emperor? ”
Jiang Che replied, "The difference is that if she is fake, she has been hiding her identity." Is there a purpose for her approaching me? Then I was wrong about all her previous opinions. If she concealed her identity and shuttled between the palace and the palace, how terrible was this person? Uncle Huang, have you thought about the consequences? Now who can guarantee that she is not some kind of thief? ”
Even if Jiang Che said this, he never believed in this possibility. Jiang Wan saved her at the beginning, as if it was completely instinctive and did not think about it. Therefore, he didn't believe that Jiang Huan had any bad intentions for him. If she had an intention, she would not have put herself in for the sake of the people of Bianzhou. If you are greedy for vanity, you will not want any reward after returning from the shogunate. All this proves what kind of person Jiang Wan is.
But so what? Now she is actually guilty. He was able to keep Jiang Wan before, not only because he was the emperor, but also because she was the eldest princess. She actually has the ability to protect herself. If Jiang Wan was arrested without restraint, no one in this court would be able to move her.
But the current princess is different. This matter is already known to the government and savages, and he really has no way to protect Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Che in disbelief, unable to believe that these words could come out of Jiang Che's mouth. That's his aunt. The aunt who was dedicated to assisting him, and even died for him. He even said that she had ulterior motives. Sister Huang, if you hear this, will you also feel cold?
At this moment, Guan Lisheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen asks to see you." said that the matter had been dealt with, and the princess had already been recruited. ”
Jiang Huai was stunned.
Jiang Che was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let him come in." ”
Soon, Shen Lian walked in. He glanced at Jiang Huai, and then knelt down to Jiang Che, "Weichen see the emperor." The princess has confessed and admitted that she is not the real Fourth Miss of the Xie family. However, she only said that she was fake, and she had no purpose for the emperor, but she was greedy for wealth and wealth, and wanted to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she is just a princess. This is her confession, which has her own drawing. ”
Guan Lisheng took the confession and handed it to Jiang Che. Jiang Che looked at the black and white words on it, already the handprint, and didn't speak for a while.
"Did you torture Shen Lian to extract a confession and force her to sign and draw a detention?" Jiang Huai couldn't hold back and questioned Shen Liandao.
Shen Lian said, "Weichen is just doing things according to the law, and he also asks the emperor to learn from it." ”
Jiang Che put the confession on the table and asked, "According to the law of my dynasty, what crime should the princess be guilty of?" ”
Shen Lian said, "The crime of bullying the king, impersonating the daughter of the official eunuch, should be beheaded according to the law." ”
Jiang Huai's eyes widened after hearing this, and he couldn't wait to step forward at this time and directly dismantle Shen Lian. But he still looked at Jiang Che, not knowing what Jiang Che would say at this time.
Jiang Che didn't say anything, he was still hesitating. More reluctant.
Shen Lian said, "Your Majesty, this matter has been decided. The princess should be beheaded according to the law, and she also asked the emperor to make a holy judgment. ”
Jiang Che sat on the chair and said helplessly, "Since this is the case, let's follow the law." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister retired. ”
Shen Lian glanced at Jiang Huai proudly and retreated.
Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Che and said, "The emperor wants to behead the princess?" ”
Jiang Che said, "She has confessed that this crime is a capital crime." Uncle Huang, you have also seen it, and there is nothing I can do. ”
"Can't do anything?" Jiang Huai said, "Your Majesty, you can't kill her, do you know that she is ......" The words of the eldest princess were on her lips, and Jiang Huai didn't say it in the end.
He couldn't tell Jiang Che Jiang Huan's identity.
He knew Jiang Che. Even if it was an unspeakable secret, Jiang Huai knew very well in his heart that Jiang Che had undeserved feelings for his own aunt. At that time, Jiang Che was already willing to risk the world's disapproval. If you tell him at this time that the current Xie Ning is Jiang Huan, according to Jiang Che's temperament, he will be even more ignorant. Now that he has Xie Ning's body, Jiang Che doesn't have the slightest worries, he will definitely find a way to keep Jiang Wan by his side.
Jiang Huai couldn't allow Jiang Che to do this.
Therefore, he couldn't tell Jiang Che that Xie Ning was Jiang Huan.
"What is she?" Jiang Che asked.
Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "What if she's fake?" Your Majesty, you should know that even if she is a fake. But he never did anything against the law. The princess is like this, wronged! ”
"It's not up to you. Okay, Uncle Huang, you'd better go down first. The matter is settled, and I'm afraid you'll have to lose such a good friend. ”
Jiang Huai stood still for a long time without moving, and then said, "That Weichen retreated." ”
When Jiang Huai walked out of the main hall, it was extremely difficult to take every step. He still didn't believe it would turn out like this. Jiang Che actually wanted to behead Jiang Huan.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he walked away as quickly as the wind was blowing under his feet.
After Jiang Huai retreated, Jiang Che sighed helplessly.
Guan Lisheng stepped forward and said, "The prince just doesn't know the emperor's thoughts, but in fact, the emperor doesn't want to do this." ”
Jiang Che said, "I can see that Uncle Huang has a grudge against me. Over the years, I have rarely made Uncle Huang dissatisfied, in fact, Uncle Huang rarely cares about those idle things. This time, it seems to be very different. Guan Lisheng, do you think that I am useless as the emperor? Because of this incident, is it going to break the peace between me and the imperial uncle? ”
"Your Majesty, the prince will understand the emperor. will not turn against the emperor because of a princess. ”
"Really?" Jiang Che didn't care, he thought about it, as if he had made a decision, and said to Guan Lisheng, "Guan Lisheng, you prepare a little, and when it is night, I want to go to Yuwang's Mansion." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The news that Jiang Wan was going to be beheaded soon spread to the Yuwang Mansion. Chu Nian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't think of any way. In the end, Chu Nian said directly, "Big brother, let's go directly to the prison, it's better than letting my sister-in-law lose her life like this." ”
"Don't mess around, you take care of Ling Lan, I'll deal with this matter."
"But big brother ......" Before Chu Nian's words were finished, Chu Yu went directly into the study and closed the door tightly.
Until midnight, a gale entered the study. Chu Yu looked at him and said, "Gale Wind, if I take you to do something to kill your head, do you dare or not?" ”
Gale replied without hesitation, "Gale Gale's life has always been the prince's, as long as the prince asks Gale to do something, Gale will never say a word." ”
"That's good. Before Ning'er asked to behead, we went to the prison to rob her. Before that, you send the second son and the second lady out of the city together. Once you have settled them, you will come back and join me. ”
"Subordinates receive orders."
And at this moment, someone knocked on the door and said, "Lord Wang, there is a distinguished guest here." ”
