When Ji Lianmei heard this, she stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being abrupt, this time I beg Ji Yucheng to hand over the birthday gift to me to prepare, borrow flowers and offer Buddha, in order to wish Liu Wu friendship longevity and prosperity and national security." ”

"Oh? In that case, why don't you see your birthday gift? ”

"The thing I gave me is also a flower, but ah, my flower is a strange flower, and it can only be seen in the night sky." Ji Lianmei pretended to smile mysteriously, "Please also ask Your Majesty to move to the Imperial Garden." ”

King Wu loves flowers, so naturally he will not refuse, "Oh? There are still such flowers in the world, so I must go and see them for myself. ”

The huge garden was crowded with people for a while.

"Princess Cheng, what about the flowers?" King Wu asked.

Ji Lianmei pursed her lips and smiled, clapping her hands at the sky.

A sudden popping sound broke the noisy discussions. A cloud of colored light rose rapidly, leaving a trail of gray smoke in its wake. A golden flower bloomed in the night sky, lighting up the entire sky for a while. These fireworks bloom one after another, from the bottom to the top, like 3,000 prosperous red dust, leaving a full of brilliant brilliance.

Neither Emperor Wu nor the princes and ministers have ever seen such a spectacle, and they watched the fireworks rise, bloom, and wither in a daze, just like a dancing girl spreading her sleeves, and her willow waist is soft, which is unforgettable at first sight.

It took a long time for King Wu to come back to his senses from this strange scene.

"Princess Cheng, how did you do it, it's amazing." King Wu smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened a little, and his eyes never left the sky.

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, it's just some gadgets, and it's sold in front of Your Majesty." Although Ji Lianmei said this, she was very nervous in her heart.

This can be regarded as out of the limelight.

Originally, everything was as Ji Lianmei expected, but the accident was always so unexpected.

"Boom!" The rockery on the left side of the crowd suddenly collapsed with the light of the fire. It's an explosion. The sparks soon set fire to the lawn, and the crowd that had been enjoying the scenery panicked.

"Walk the water, walk the water."

"Quick, protect Your Majesty." .......

No one ever goes to enjoy the fireworks anymore, and this beautiful birthday gift is the root cause of this disaster.

"Princess, what are you still doing here, let's go." Seeing that the fire was spreading in this direction, Ji Yucheng grabbed Ji Lianmei's hand and found that she was like a puppeteer, looking at the scene in front of her without moving.

"No, how can this be, I've obviously experimented, there's no problem, why...."Ji Lianmei couldn't help trembling, her head was blank, and her body collapsed to the ground without obeying the call, Ji Yucheng held her in her arms, looking at the skyrocketing firelight, her eyes were deep.

Have you already started the action.....

At dawn, the fire was finally extinguished.

Emperor Wu tiredly climbed onto the dragon chair and scolded loudly: "Come on, bring Princess Cheng up!" ”

Ji Lianmei and Ji Yucheng were escorted to the Jinluan Palace by King Wu's Praetorian Guards.

"Princess Liu Guo, Ji Yucheng, what are your intentions when you want to assassinate me?"

"No, Your Majesty, the fireworks were made by me alone, Ji Yucheng didn't know about it, please be merciful to Your Majesty, don't blame him."

King Wu squinted at Ji Yucheng and said, "Cheng'er, is that so?" ”

"Yes." Ji Yucheng nodded.

"Okay, Princess Liu Guo, let's say, did your mother country send you to assassinate me, or do you want to assassinate me?"

"I ....."

"Your Majesty," Yao Yuanci, the prime minister of the country, stepped forward and said, "According to what the minister has seen, this princess of Liu Guo is not a good stubble, some time ago, the old minister also heard that she was involved in a murder case." Even if this Princess Ji Lianmei is not meticulous, it must be some kind of witchcraft to make the air bloom and reduce fire, this woman is afraid that she is a demon girl, and I hope that Your Majesty can give Princess Liu Guo death as soon as possible. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present nodded in agreement.

"Since all Aiqing agrees, then I will order the death of Princess Liu Guo. In addition, it was claimed to Liu Guo that the princess was homesick and died of illness. Come on, drag her down. Emperor Wu ordered.

The Praetorian Guards stepped forward and set Ji Lianmei up. Ji Lianmei struggled to get rid of the Praetorian Guard, and looked at Ji Yucheng helplessly.

I'm going back to see my family and friends, and I don't want to die here.

Ji Yucheng, I know you can't save me, but I hope you can ask for a favor for me, just a word.....

But he didn't. He knelt silently beside her like that, looking at her quietly with a pair of dark eyes, not sad, not happy, and indifferent.

The heavenly dungeon of the Wu Imperial Palace was even colder and more chilling than the dungeon where Zhao Qi interrogated her. It was filled with the most heinous men, all of them with hideous faces, blood-red eyes, and hoarse growlers, like wild beasts in a cage, which made people feel terrified.

Ji Lianmei was locked up on the north side of the prison, which was even colder, and she had to curl up in a ball to keep warm.

Just as she was so cold that she almost lost consciousness, a voice called to her softly:

"Hey, little fox, little fox, wake up."

Ji Lianmei opened her eyes and saw that Ji Yutuo was lying outside the wooden fence and waving at her.

"Ji Jingchen, why are you here?"

"I'm here to save you. I've got two more days at my father's place, and if I can find evidence, you'll be able to come out. ”

Ji Lianmei's heart warmed, and she said to Ji Yutuo: "You....... Why did you come to save me? ”

"Fool, do you need a reason to save people? I know you're innocent. Ji Jingchen said.

"Don't you doubt me?"

Ji Jingchen sighed, flicked her head, and said, "With your little brain, can you still come up with such a way to murder my father?" Obviously, someone is obstructing it and provoking the relationship between Liu and Wu. ”

When the civil and military officials shouted to kill her, and Ji Yucheng responded indifferently, only this young man was willing to stand up and help her speak.

In fact, among those people, there are many people who know that she is innocent, but they either have ghosts in their hearts, or they want to do nothing about themselves, so they all charge her invisibly.

"Thank you, Ji Jingchen."

"Stop, I don't like people saying thank you to me the most. And if you want to thank me, you have to wait until I get you out of here. ”

After saying this, Ji Jingchen secretly left.

Two days, Ji Jingchen, can you really save me?

When the two-day deadline was approaching, Ji Lianmei was released from the prison, escorted by the guards again, and knelt in front of the palace of King Wu.

"Ji Lianmei, Chen'er bought you two days before to prove your innocence, and now the time has come. Chen'er, come forward and tell me, what have you discovered? ”

King Wu called twice, and there was no figure of Ji Jingchen in the main hall.

He....... Is it a retreat? Ji Lianmei felt a loss in her heart, but she didn't blame Ji Jingchen, it was human nature to hang high and hang high. He was able to stand up and speak for her, and Ji Lianmei was already very grateful.

"Since Chen'er has not appeared, then I will order that the execution be carried out immediately." Emperor Wu waved his hand and motioned to the guards beside him.

Just as Ji Lianmei was pulled out by the guards on both sides, an urgent shout suddenly came.

"Father, father, be merciful." Ji Jingchen hurried into the hall from the outer hall.

Ji Jingchen said with a straight face: "Father, the son is late, please forgive your father." ”

"It's okay, Chen'er, tell me what you've found."

"Yes, Father. In the past two days, the sons and daughters of the palace maids who were responsible for transporting the birthday gift of the emperor and the emperor in the past two days saw that there was a woman who was sneaky and secretly moved in the princess's birthday gift during the transportation of the birthday gift. And this woman ........"

"Come on, bring it!" Ji Jingchen shouted.

A skinny little girl was brought up by the guards.

This person turned out to be Zizhi.

"Zizhi..... Why are you ....." Ji Lianmei couldn't believe her eyes.

This person who took care of her, followed her, and followed her from Liu Guo to Wuyue, the closest person she was to in this era, betrayed her at this moment.

"I added too much saltpeter to my birthday gift, I'm sorry, princess." Zizhi shrunk her neck and looked at the sword hanging around her neck in fear, and suddenly rushed to the guards holding the long sword behind her like crazy.

Burst. Seeing the blood on the knife, her small body fell in front of Ji Lianmei, her clear eyes took one last look at Ji Lianmei, and a faint smile was involved.

"Princess ........"

The ministers present sighed.

Princess, you treat me well, I can't finish my life, but I have to obey that person's order. This time I am sorry for you, in the next life, I will not hesitate to go to the soup for you.

Three days before King Wu's birthday, Chengzi secretly came to Wu and said to Zizhi:

"Zizhi, you must borrow his hand on King Wu's birthday to get rid of Ji Lianmei."

"What, kill the princess? I....... No, the princess treats me well, and I can't betray her. ”

Chengchengzi seemed to have known that she would say this, and took out a letter from her bosom. "Look at it, do you recognize the handwriting?"

Zizhi glanced at it, and suddenly her hands broke out in a cold sweat and she sat down on the ground.

"If the princess doesn't die, then I can't keep your parents safe, what to do, it's up to Miss Zizhi to choose for yourself."

With that, he walked away.

Zizhi looked at the gunpowder material in her hand, and unconsciously bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind.

Zizhi's breath became weaker and weaker, Ji Lianmei pounced on her, stroked her somewhat cold face with her hand, and said to her, "It's okay, I don't blame you, you ........ Don't talk yet, I'll go to Lang Zhong to save you. ”

"Princess...... Don't bother me anymore. Be careful.... He wants you to die. Zizhi left one last sentence and closed her eyes.

"Zizhi ......."

Ji Jingchen stepped forward to pull up Ji Lianmei, put the cloak on Zizhi's small body, and said to Emperor Wu: "Father, since you have caught the real murderer, can you let Lianmei go." ”
