Chapter 94: Asking for help
With the support of Lianxiang, Xiao Ruoxi walked out of Kunning Palace.
Although she was rejected by Xiao Ruolan, Xiao Ruoxi was not much disappointed, after all, she didn't have much hope when she first came to ask Xiao Ruolan.
It's just that she doesn't want to let go of any glimmer of hope.
And Xiao Ruolan, sitting on the main seat of Kunning Palace, looked at Xiao Ruoxi's back as she left step by step, her eyes full of mockery.
Since she can't get it, it's better to ruin it!
"Miss, what shall we do now?"
Lian Xiang looked at Xiao Ruoxi, her face was also full of sadness, she didn't expect the eldest lady to be so ruthless, and she didn't even refuse to help when she went to the emperor to say a few words.
She remembered that the eldest lady was not like this before, right? In the past, as long as the young lady was bullied a little, the eldest lady would stand up and help say a few good words, but now how did it become like this.
"Think again! There's always a way. ”
If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to die, and she's already died once anyway, hasn't she?
"Princess Han?"
Just when Xiao Ruoxi led Lian Xiang and Chunyin to the gate of the palace, she suddenly heard a voice behind her, which seemed to be a little familiar.
Xiao Ruoxi turned around and saw a man in a blue brocade robe walking towards her.
"His Royal Highness the Yan King."
Xiao Ruoxi curtsied and bowed to Chu Xiuyan, and raised his eyes to look at him:
"I wonder why His Royal Highness the King of Yan summoned me?"
"No, it's just an old acquaintance and say hello."
Chu Xiuyan said lightly, still as calm and restrained as ever.
Old friend? Xiao Ruoxi shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard this, she and Chu Xiuyan just had a relationship at Prime Minister Xiao's birthday banquet, where can they be regarded as old people.
"If His Royal Highness King Yan has nothing to do, I will leave."
After speaking, Xiao Ruoxi turned around and prepared to leave.
"You entered the palace today, but you came here for the third brother's business?"
But when she turned around, she heard Chu Xiuyan ask her like this.
Xiao Ruoxi looked back at Chu Xiuyan and didn't speak, she didn't know what Chu Xiuyan meant by asking her like this, was he going to help her? Or are you here to find out what's going on?
After all, if Chu Xiuhan was really eliminated this time, it would not only be a good thing for Chu Xiuran.
For Chu Xiuyan and Chu Xiuyi, it is not a bad thing.
Looking at Xiao Ruoxi's slightly defensive eyes, Chu Xiuyan frowned slightly and said:
"I just went to find out the emperor's tone, and the third brother is probably more than lucky this time."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Xiao Ruoxi would misunderstand, Chu Xiuyan first explained his intention.
However, after hearing Chu Xiuyan's words, Xiao Ruoxi lowered his head decadently.
She suddenly felt that she was very useless, a weak woman who was powerless, and she couldn't even help a little when she encountered a little thing.
"But don't be too discouraged, there's always another way."
Looking at Xiao Ruoxi's suddenly decadent appearance, Chu Xiuyan was a little unbearable, and comforted him.
"What else can be done?"
Xiao Ruoxi smiled bitterly and asked her to overturn the case for Chu Xiuhan? She is just a woman, she can't go to the court, and Chu Xiuhan's assassination of the Queen Mother is already a sure thing, and the evidence is conclusive, and this crime can't be cleared at all.
If you want her to rob the prison, rob Chu Xiuhan out of the prison, and then fly away.
It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but she doesn't have that ability, she has more than enough heart, and she suddenly feels that her life is like living in vain, and it is useless.
"I'm going to go to the prison to see the third brother, you...... Going? ”
Chu Xiuyan asked tentatively.
Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuyan in some surprise when she heard this, she originally planned to go to the heavenly prison to visit Chu Xiuhan after meeting Xiao Ruolan.
But she also knew that with her current identity, the wife of a criminal minister, the prison was not so easy to enter, and she was thinking about how to buy off the jailers who guarded the prison, but she heard Chu Xiuyan's words.
"You...... You shouldn't be involved in this. ”
Although Xiao Ruoxi was happy to see Chu Xiuhan immediately, she really couldn't afford Chu Xiuyan's help for no reason.
You must know that Chu Xiuhan committed a capital crime, and others couldn't avoid it, she heard Su Ye say that those ministers in the court who used to be good friends with Chu Xiuhan, now that the East Window incident happened, all of them fell to Chu Xiuran's faction.
However, Chu Xiuyan gave her charcoal at this critical time, and it was false for her to say in her heart that she was not moved, but in addition to being moved, she still didn't want him to be implicated in this matter.
"Then do you have any better way to save the third brother now?"
Chu Xiuyan did not answer Xiao Ruoxi's words, but asked rhetorically.
He asked this directly, and it also poked Xiao Ruoxi's heart directly.
Oh, yes! She has no better way to do it now, and no better person to lean on.
If you want to talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't want the Prime Minister's Mansion to be implicated.
"Thank you."
Xiao Ruoxi raised his head and said to Chu Xiuyan with very sincere eyes.
Chu Xiuyan's kindness, she wrote down, if he needs her help in the future, she will definitely do her best and never give up.
"You're welcome, let's go!"
After speaking, Chu Xiuyan got into the carriage in front of him and instructed the coachman to go to the direction of the prison.
And Xiao Ruoxi also followed, got into his own carriage, and asked the coachman to follow Chu Xiuyan's carriage.
……
"Heaven is a forbidden place, and idlers are not allowed to break in."
At the gate of the prison, Chu Xiuyan and Xiao Ruoxi got out of the carriage, but were stopped by the guards guarding the gate of the prison.
Xiao Ruoxi stood behind Chu Xiuyan and didn't speak, because she knew that even if she spoke, it would be useless, so she should leave it to Chu Xiuyan to deal with!
I saw Chu Xiuyan slowly take off a token from his waist, light it up in front of the guard at the door, and said in a slow voice:
"Is this king also an idler?"
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Yan King! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he hopes that His Royal Highness King Yan will forgive his sins. ”
When the two guards saw the token, they were so frightened that their legs weakened, so they knelt down and quickly begged for mercy.
People like them, who have been guarding the prison here for many years, have never met these palace nobles, so they can't be blamed for only recognizing tokens and not people.
Seeing this, Chu Xiuyan didn't speak, but walked in directly, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the two guards.
Chu Xiuyan frowned a little displeased.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, the emperor has ordered that no one or others should step into the heavenly prison for half a step."
The guard said in a trembling voice, although they can't afford to offend the prince in front of them, they don't dare to disobey the holy order!
"What if this king has to step into this prison today?"
Chu Xiuyan said with a calm face, changing the plainness of facing Xiao Ruoxi before, and between his words, there was a dangerous aura.
Hearing this, the sharp hearts of the people couldn't help but tremble, and the two guards knelt on the ground and trembled with fright.
