Chapter 23: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
The more a person of Situ An's status, the easier it is to be afraid. This is an object that the Queen Mother handed over to her just now, if it is lost, not being able to take Gu Changming into the prison is not the most serious problem. The Queen Mother will take it back at that time, and how to explain it when the time comes.
"Phoenix, you shocked Lord Situ, take it out." Gu Changming gently spread out his palm, and the little phoenix obediently took out the jade plate, presented it with both hands, and put it in his palm.
At this moment, Situ An's murderous heart is gone! Is this a joke? If you touch the queen mother's jade plate, you should be damned.
However, in front of Gu Changming, Situ An couldn't say anything, touched his nose, coughed slightly embarrassed, and said, "Master Changming, hand over the jade plate to the guards." When you come out, come and take it away. ”
Gu Changming saw that he didn't even have the courage to stretch out his hand, so he didn't notice anything unusual, and handed the jade plate to the guards. After careful inspection, the guard handed it over to the person behind him, and then took it to the other side and shone it again and again, so he confirmed that there was no doubt and let the three of them go.
Situ An originally thought that the little phoenix would be stopped outside, after all, the queen mother had never given anyone such a big face, and she had taken this jade plate in and out of the prison. Looking at the appearance of the guards, let alone three people, probably more people can be released together.
He gritted his teeth at the little phoenix in an unspeakable way, and looked sideways at her as he walked. Thinking of the words that the Queen Mother said in front of this woman today, even though he was not at the scene, how could he hide it from his ears and eyes, the Queen Mother should be regarded as looking at it differently. This woman has much better luck than that Liu Zhuxue.
For the time being, I can't afford to offend, in case the Queen Mother investigates it, the gains outweigh the losses.
The little phoenix was so keen, and immediately caught Situ An's inquiring gaze. Instead of avoiding it, he grimaced at him.
Gu Changming took in all of this from the side, saw that Situ An's face was green, and did not stop the little phoenix's behavior, and knew that she deliberately did this in order to vent her evil anger for Liu Zhuxue again.
The road was silent, except for the footsteps of a few people. There are many people in the prisons on both sides, but unlike the Criminal Division, some people shout injustice, some people scream, all of them are silent, silent with despair. probably knows that if you enter here, you don't want to get out alive in this life.
Gu Changming didn't show it all the way, and when he saw the cell where his father was being held, he couldn't help but be moved, rushed to the front, and whispered through the iron rod thick as his son's arm: "Father, father, it's me who came." ”
Gu Wuduo was still motionless, his treatment was not too bad, the floor was covered with soft fabric, and there was a pillow behind his head. But he didn't have the slightest reaction to the appearance of Gu Changming and the others, and lay flat on the ground with a peaceful face.
"Father." Gu Changming insisted on shouting several times, and asked anxiously, "What's going on with my father, didn't he say that the imperial doctor has been here!" ”
The guards who lead the way are no more unusual than the jailers in other places. This is a prison, no matter how big an official you are, how favored a courtier you are, you will become a prisoner of the rank without discrimination. Therefore, he ignored Gu Changming's question and didn't seem to hear it at all.
Situ An was silent beside him, but the little phoenix stepped forward and said sharply: "A few of us came in with the queen mother's token, and the queen mother will guarantee Lord Gu and take him out of the prison." This is just a matter of one step before and one step after another, what kind of temper is Lord Gu, I believe that needless to say, you all know very well. ”
Gu Wuduo's nickname in the Criminal Division is the Living Hades, which can almost be said to be known to everyone.
The guard couldn't hold back his face when the little phoenix said: "No matter who it is, it's the same in the prison." ”
"There are two kinds of suspects in the prison." This time it was Gu Changming who spoke, his voice was as clear as a sweet spring, as if it had the effect of soothing people's hearts, "One can't get out, and the other can go out." They are suspects here, and they are not ordinary people after they go out. No matter who you leave a way out, it is equivalent to leaving a way out for yourself. ”
In a place like the Heavenly Prison, it is impossible to bribe, but it is the little phoenix's words of contingency that give Gu Changming a hint. Since he has taken the token of the Queen Mother, the power is a chicken feather and an arrow, and it is better to be able to hold the field.
"We know that this is Gu Wuduo, we didn't embarrass him for half a point, he fainted by himself." As soon as he opened his mouth, he was telling the truth, and the guards probably agreed with Gu Changming's words, giving people room and convenience for themselves, "Except for being imprisoned here, not a single finger has touched him, I don't believe you can go in and examine your injuries." ”
"I believe that Youlao opened the door for me to go in and see how my father was doing." Gu Changming took a step back, his eyes scorching in the darkness of the heavenly prison, as bright as the morning star, making people dare not look directly.
The guard originally wanted to hold on, but his feet involuntarily walked towards the prison door, and he consciously took out the key and slowly opened the prison door: "It stands to reason that although you can enter, you can only visit outside, and you can't approach the suspect, but the imperial doctor has been at a loss, and it's really hard to say when he will wake up, the family can go in to visit, and only one person can go in." ”
Gu Changming thanked him in a low voice, bent down and entered the prison, and the guard quickly locked the cell door again.
The little phoenix suddenly became anxious: "He's not a suspect, why are you ......" Suddenly seeing Gu Changming make a gesture with his backhand, she immediately understood, this is probably the rule of the prison, for fear that someone will rob the prison. She closed her mouth and lowered her hand to retreat into the shadows on the side, choosing to keep a certain distance from Situ An.
Gu Changming squatted down, his eyes staring at his father, who seemed to be asleep, and even the imperial doctor had been at a loss. My father's body has always been healthy, otherwise he would not have gone to the Western Xia alone, broke into the palace of the king of the Western Xia, and came and went freely without injury. Even when he came back with it, he didn't get tired of running thousands of miles like this, how could he be locked up in prison for a few days and become like this.
He couldn't calm down after thinking about it, so he roughly stretched out his hand to catch his father's pulse, and the strange thing was that the pulse was quite peaceful, and there was no sign of poisoning. If it is poisoning, it should be the easiest case for doctors to diagnose.
"Father, why did you become like this?" Gu Changming carefully put his father's hands on his upper abdomen, and the cuffs were folded. The guard didn't lie, my father may have been depressed here, but he didn't suffer, there was not a trace of scars on his body, even the clothes were the same as they were worn when the accident happened, except for some wrinkles, they were quite clean.
Gu Wuduo had no possibility of answering at all. Gu Changming lowered his eyes and looked at the time of half a pillar of incense, the guards outside thought that he was about to be petrified inside, and he tried to give a hint several times but it was difficult to make a sound, Gu Changming got up by himself. He hurriedly reopened the cell door and brought the man out.
"Our jade plate was given by the Queen Mother." When Gu Changming arrived at this time, he was still so calm that even Situ An admired it. It doesn't take three or five years at all, and this person in front of him will be the next ghostly and sorrowful, living Hades, and living out is Gu Wuduo's general style.
"Yes, I'm already clear, I don't need to be reminded again." The guard said awkwardly.
"You misunderstood, I just wanted to ask, with that jade plate, how many people can I visit?" Gu Changming didn't mind the other party's attitude at all, and explained in a good voice.
"You have other acquaintances here!" The guards were surprised, what kind of luck was this, two relatives and friends went to the prison, "Although there is no such precedent, it depends on what you do." ”
"I want to meet this person and have a few words with him, I won't embarrass you." As soon as Gu Changming raised his eyes, his gaze caught the other party.
"Which one, which one are you going to see?" The guard turned his head away, not making eye contact with him.
"A man named Sun Youxiang." As soon as Gu Changming's words came out, even Situ An's eyebrows twitched twice, for fear that he would make something happen again, and there would be no way to explain in front of the Queen Mother.
"Sun Youxiang?" The guard sneered, "You really want to see this person?" ”
Gu Changming heard what he said: "Is there something unusual about this one?" But one thing is for sure, my father's prediction was accurate, and Sun Youxiang was also in prison, not that the emperor deliberately revealed that he was imprisoned in the harem.
Why did the emperor deliberately reveal such a false clue to him, Gu Changming was a little puzzled.
"If everything locked up here is the same as Gu Wuduo, we will have peace of mind. Before he had any problems with his body, he sat quietly and didn't cause trouble to anyone. The guard took a few steps forward, turned his head and urged, "Aren't you going to see Sun Youxiang, still standing still, do you want me to ask for it again?" ”
"Phoenix, you and Lord Situ are waiting in place for a while." As soon as Gu Changming's words came out, Situ An's eyes flickered, and the little phoenix stopped in front of him with his arms, making it clear that he would not let him follow.
Situ An definitely can't beat the little phoenix, if you want to do it, no matter how good this girl is, she may not be able to go through thirty moves. However, this place is not as good as other places, doing it in a prison is tantamount to a dead end, and all Situ An can do is hold his breath and endure it.
What is called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he has seen it, and this Gu Changming is really comfortable using it.
Gu Changming followed behind the guards and walked around the corner, before the other party spoke: "That person was from the palace just now, right?" ”
"Yes." Gu Changming had no need to hide for Situ An.
"At first glance, it is, but what about the palace, I have seen a lot, I was an uncle before I came in, and I am thankful that I can go out as a grandson." The guard let go of the chatter in front of Gu Changming, "I didn't embarrass your father and son just now, because with this one by my side, I'm afraid that he will find fault." ”
"I get it." Gu Changming was as concise as ever.
"It's good to understand, I like to talk to people who understand. When you see that Sun Youxiang, you'd better be mentally prepared, this person doesn't look like a human being. The guard muttered, "Don't get me wrong, it's not our ruthless hands, and when we send it, it won't work here." ”
Gu Changming saw him and pointed to the side of his temple, Sun Youxiang had been locked up alone in the Criminal Department for so long, Wu Wei was tried and tried, and he was tried and mentioned, but he didn't see him shaken at all. From the Criminal Division to the emperor, and then to the prison, what else happened to Sun Youxiang?
"It's good that I don't shout, but crying every day like this is not a solution." The two stopped back and forth, and the guard took a lamp from the wall and shone it in the direction of a door, "Sun Youxiang, Sun Youxiang, someone has come to see you." ”
Gu Changming took a step forward and subconsciously squinted his eyes under the light.
