After Jian Huaizhen discussed with Jiang Shaoheng, Ji Xinhan, and Fang Xiao in Huaiming Garden, she returned to Wan'an Palace, and came forward to her and said: "The eldest princess, you are really like a god, today, after you left, Lin Jian'an really came, he said that the emperor wanted to pass on the edict to the eldest princess, so I told him that the eldest princess was in poor health and could not see the emperor. Zero said as he put his arm in his hand.

The longer I stay in the palace, the more cheerful my temperament becomes.

Jian Huaizhen appreciated this change in her, she pondered slightly, then nodded and said: "You have done a good job, this palace must let the emperor know about this matter, but he did something wrong, he must know his mistake from the bottom of his heart, and he must change it." Otherwise, this palace would never have given up with him so easily. Scatter, you go and inquire about where my brother and sister-in-law and nephew are being held in the prison, and then we will go to see them. ”

"Yes." Lingluo agreed, and sent someone out to inquire.

Not long after, the little eunuch who went to inquire replied: "Jian Wenying, Zhu Luoxue and Jian Polang are locked up in the edict prison."

The edict prison is the heavenly prison of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Youzhen was imprisoned in the edict prison twice, and Shi Heng was also killed by Jian Huaizhen in the edict prison, the edict prison can be said to have killed a lot of courtiers and people, it is a very gloomy place.

After Jian Huaizhen came to the edict with Scattered Prison, he saw Jian Wenying, Zhu Luoxue and Jian Polang being locked up in three cells.

She went to see Jian Wenying first, and after seeing Jian Wenying, she saw Jian Wenying's face and expression, and she couldn't help but feel very distressed, and said to him: "Brother, you have suffered." ”

Jian Wenying looked up and saw Jian Huaizhen suddenly standing in front of him, he only felt sadness coming from it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Jian Huaizhen continued: "I already know what happened to this matter, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, but the emperor wanted to send Yu Mian to Pai Tou Mountain to suppress the bandits, and he was afraid that I would help, so he arrested my brother and sister-in-law in this prison, and wanted to contain my actions, it was my fault that affected my brother and sister-in-law." ”

When Jian Wenying heard her say this, she shook her head again and again and said: "Sister, don't say that, what does this matter have to do with you, some of it is that the emperor is becoming more and more wanton and reckless." ”

Jian Huaizhen listened to Jian Wenying's words, but he didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

"The emperor is indeed becoming more and more wanton, everything is up to his own temperament, if it continues like this, how will the country's social affairs be good." But she didn't show the indignation in her heart in front of Jian Huaizhen, she just comforted him and said: "Brother, if you stay in this edict for two days, I will definitely save you, your sister-in-law, and Po Lang intact." ”

As Jian Huaizhen spoke, he stretched out his hands and shook them with Jian Wenying's hands, so the brother and sister were deeply affectionate, and everything was silent.

Jian Huaizhen went to visit Princess Luoxue and Jian Polang respectively, only Jian Polang still felt very interesting in the edict, he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Aunt Princess, I have been to everywhere in my life, but I have never been to the prison, I didn't expect that now I have the opportunity to come to the prison for two days, and God really treats me well." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, not knowing what to say, not knowing whether to scold him or comfort him. But seeing that he had a hearty smile and his words and deeds were sprinkled, he didn't need his comfort at all, so he said to him: "Okay, don't talk about it here, you don't see your father and mother are very worried, you stay here for two days, and this palace will definitely rescue you." ”

"Okay, okay, you save it slowly, don't worry, Aunt Princess." Jian Polang said nonchalantly.

It turns out that everyone in this edict knows that Jian Wenying is Jian Huaizhen's brother, and Zhu Luoxue is her sister-in-law, Jian Polang is his nephew, and the eldest princess is in the court.

And the people in the edict prison saw with their own eyes how she killed Shi Heng at that time, so who of them dared not to be afraid of her in their hearts, how could they dare to treat Jian Wenying and his wife and Jian Polang badly. Food, clothing, and housing on weekdays are the best. Although they are in prison, their lives are very comfortable, and it is difficult for Jian Polang to feel that there is nothing left to go to prison.

After Jian Huaizhen saw his brother, sister-in-law and nephew, he returned to the palace and did not mention it.

But Wan Zhen'er was so anxious at this moment that she was like an ant on a hot pot, she repeatedly persuaded Zhu Jianshen, begging Zhu Jianshen not to send Yu Mian to Paitou Mountain to suppress bandits, but Zhu Jianshen refused to share the burden, and also arrested Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue, so that Jian Huaizhen was busy running around, and did not have the strength to help Yu Mian again, which made Wan Zhen'er very anxious.

She knew that if Yu Mian only took five hundred old and weak soldiers to Baitou Mountain to exterminate those fierce bandits, then in the end, Yu Mian would definitely go vertically and horizontally, in the middle of the cottage.

So she thought of a lot of methods, but all the methods didn't work, she thought that Tang Jingran would make a proposal to the emperor, begging the emperor not to send Yu Mian to send Toushan to suppress the bandits. But there was no movement at all from Tang Jingran's side, which made her anxious and angry, resentful and hateful.

She was anxious and angry, what would be the consequences of Yu Mian's departure, and she hated and resented why she had come up with such a bad idea in the first place, in order to force Tang to enter the palace, she did not hesitate to fabricate the affair of Qian Rumeng, who lived with the crown and lived in Xiaju, and as for the emperor, he was completely determined to eradicate Yu Mian, a thorn in his eye.

She felt that everything was caused by herself so far, if it was someone else, she could ignore it, but that person was Yu Mian, how could she watch him die. Therefore, she has to think of a way to save Yu Mian's life no matter what. But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of what to do.

Mama Chen saw that Wan Zhen'er was very anxious every day, and she looked like she was in great pain, as if she had suffered some great pain, so she asked from the side: "Niangniang, the slave maid has been grumpy these days, presumably because of the change of seasons, it is better for the slave to send someone to stew some cool vegetables and fruits for Niangniang to eat." ”

Wan Zhen'er waved her hand and said anxiously: "What about vegetables and fruits, who can solve the matter in front of you now." ”

"What happened, Niangniang quickly talk to the slave maid, if the slave can help Niangniang, she will definitely die."

Wan Zhen'er never told Mama Chen about this because she knew that if she told Mama Chen, Mama Chen would not help her. What Mama Chen needs is for Wan Zhen'er to be favored by the emperor, only if Wan Zhen'er gets the emperor's favor, then she can be rampant and powerful in this harem, and Mama Chen can also enjoy the honor she should enjoy.

However, if Wan Zhen'er has anything to do with Yu Mian, or if she saves Yu Mian for personal love, Mama Chen will not agree to it no matter what, because she must not watch Wan Zhen'er fall into the mud and can't extricate herself. After all, she is now a concubine Huang, if she thinks about other men, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, then she will only have a dead end, so Wan Zhen'er has never told Mama Chen about this matter.

Now Mama Chen asked her, she thought about it for a long time before she said slowly: "Mama Chen, this matter is not a big deal, it's just a little annoying. "What's the matter, Niangniang might as well tell me about it." Mama Chen asked.

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while, and then said slowly: "That's what happened to Yu Mian on the expedition, Yu Mian was because we set a trap in front of the emperor and showed it to the emperor, so the emperor sent Yu Mian to suppress the bandits in anger." If Yu Mian has three long and two short, no matter what, this palace will not be able to care about it. ”

"Ah, send Yu Mian to suppress the bandits, Niangniang, but this is the emperor's decision, if Niangniang stops it from the side, the emperor may not be willing to listen to Niangniang."

"This palace thinks so too, so this matter is embarrassing."

"Then ask Yu Mian to suppress the bandits, what does it matter if Yu Mian goes to suppress the bandits."

"No, absolutely not, you must not let Yu Mian suppress the bandits."

Wan Zhen'er thought about it and felt that the bell still needed to be tied to the bell, so she felt that if this matter was to be solved well, she still needed Tang Jingran to come forward and negotiate with Zhu Jianshen, so Wan Zhen'er deliberately went to work secretly to see Tang Jingran.

Tang was shocked and didn't know that the emperor sent Yu Mian to Paitou Mountain to suppress bandits.

She heard that Wan Zhen'er came to find her, but she felt a little strange, she felt that Wan Zhen'er was very yin, she came to find herself, most likely because of some scheme, so she didn't want to see Wan Zhen'er.

But Wan Zhen'er kept saying that this matter was related to Yu Mian, and if Tang Jingran refused to see him, then Yu Mian's life was in danger, so after weighing it again, Tang Jingran decided to see Wan Zhen'er.

After Wan Zhen'er saw Tang Zhenran, she said to her: "Miss Tang, I came to you today for Yu Mian's business, I don't know if you know that Yu Mian was sent by the emperor to Baitou Mountain to suppress bandits?" ”

"What, the emperor sent Yu Mian to Baitou Mountain to suppress bandits." Tang was taken aback when he heard this, because Yu Mian is a civil servant, he doesn't know martial arts at all, and the emperor is who to send to suppress the bandits, and it is absolutely impossible to send Yu Mian, so he is skeptical of what Wan Zhen'er said.

Wan Zhen'er said unhurriedly: "What I said is true, if you don't believe it, I don't either." The reason why the emperor sent Yu Mian to Baitou Mountain to suppress bandits, I believe you also know it in your heart. ”

"I know it in my heart." Tang shook his head in surprise and said, "I don't know." ”

"How can you not know, the reason why the emperor approved Yu Mian to go to Baitou Mountain to suppress bandits is just for you, don't you know at all?"

Tang was very unbelievable, she thought for a long time before she shook her head and said: "I don't believe what you said, the emperor is a Ming Jun, he will never be such a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong." ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled bitterly and said, "What you said was before, the current emperor, do you think he won't do this kind of thing?" I also advised the emperor not to send Yu Mian to give his life in vain, but the emperor refused to listen to my persuasion, so I came to you in desperation. ”

When Wan Zhen'er spoke, the expression on her face was very sincere, and her sincerity was something Tang Jingran had never seen before, which made Tang Jingran feel a little surprised.

"The emperor sent Yu Mian to Baitou Mountain to suppress bandits, so what? As long as the soldiers are strong and the Wenchen suppresses the bandits, they can also return triumphantly. Tang said to himself.

Wan Zhen'er glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Tang, should I say that you are naïve, or should I say that you are simple-minded, since the emperor sent Yu Mian to suppress the bandits, how could he send strong soldiers and good generals to him?" I can tell you with great certainty that the bandits who went to Paektu Mountain to suppress the bandits this time were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were only 500 soldiers, while the bandits in Paektu Mountain were said to be more than 1,000. If you don't believe it, you can ask the princess. ”

When Tang was shocked to hear her say this, she sneered first, and she sneered and said: "You said that I should ask the eldest princess, that is, the eldest princess already knows about this matter, and since the eldest princess knows about this matter, she has decided not to allow such a thing to happen." ”

"Miss Tang, you are also the head of the two major sects on the rivers and lakes, the candle shadow shakes red and the confession door, can't you even think about such a simple thing, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor is mainly able to stop it, how could she watch Yu Mian go to suppress the bandits? Besides, the eldest princess is now busy with the affairs of Jian Wenying and Princess Luoxue, where does she have so much energy to take care of Yu Mian's matter. ”

"What, you said that Uncle Jane and Breaking Waves also had an accident?" Tang was shocked to feel that things had come too suddenly, as if everything was coming towards her in one day, which caught her off guard for a while.

"That's true, I'm sure everyone in Huaiming Yuan knows it, they're just hiding it from you." Wan Zhen'er said unhurriedly.

"What about you, why do you want to tell what your plans and plans are?" Tang was shocked and asked, looking directly at Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said: "You can imagine what plans and schemes I have, in this way, I think you will be comforted a lot, in fact, I just don't want to watch Yu Mian die." When she spoke, there was a deep compassion in her eyes.

At that moment, Tang Jingran suddenly understood a lot, she understood why Wan Zhen'er had always been against herself in everything, why Wan Zhen'er had always been against herself everywhere, it turned out that there was such a reason.

At first, she didn't know, but when she saw Wan Zhen'er at this moment, she knew everything. It turned out that Wan Zhen'er was overly crowned in her heart, maybe it was a long, long time ago, maybe it was still the case now, but now that she is the emperor's palace concubine, she can't show all this, and she can't be known, so she came to Tang Jingran and asked Tang Jingran to think of a way to dissuade the emperor.

"I believe in you." Tang was shocked to say it suddenly, and there was a deep sense of depression in her tone.

She thought: If she was in Wan Zhen'er's situation, would she be able to be calm in the face of so many things happening? It's no wonder that Wan Zhen'er has become so violent and selfish now, the so-called environment creates people, and all of this is just because of the environment.

After Wan Zhen'er said goodbye to Tang Jingran, Tang Jingran sat there and pondered. She wanted to take this matter to ask Fang Yu and the others, and she thought about how to say it again.

At this time, someone suddenly broke in, the person was covered in blood, every step he took, he left a deep blood mark behind him, he was followed by the old housekeeper of Huai Mingyuan, the old housekeeper shouted to him and said: "You can't go in, you really can't go in, you really can't go in...... but the person still came in.

Tang was shocked to see the man's words, and couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that it was not someone else who came in, but Du Yuhang, a disciple of her confessional sect.

Du Yuhang was seriously injured at this time, and he was bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Tang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Hall Master Du, what happened?" I'll stop the bleeding right away. She said as she went to get her medicine out.

Du Yuhang shook his head, with a hint of loneliness on his face. He said to Tang in shock: "Princess Zhang, you don't have to help me heal my injuries, I know my own injuries, I can't live anymore, and Xiaoying She is dead, what's the point of me living alone?" ”

"What's going on?" Tang Jingran asked anxiously while taking medicine to stop the bleeding for Du Yuhang.

She saw that Du Yuhang's injuries were too serious, and if she wanted to save him, it would probably be impossible, but she couldn't just watch him bleed to death.

Du Yuhang said with a faint breath: "It's the imperial court, the imperial court sent someone to attack the rudder of Candle Shadow Shaohong in the capital, we were all caught off guard, and many disciples died, laughing at her...... Xiaoying also died, and I finally escaped to report the matter to the palace master. ”

Tang was shocked to apply Du Yuhang's hand for a while, and he trembled a little for a while, but Du Yuhang couldn't tell whether his body hurt or not at this moment, because these didn't mean much to him, Wen Xiaoying was dead, he lived in this world, and it was meaningless to be alone, so he was bent on dying.

Tang was shocked and helped him and said, "Hall Master Du, you go to the bed and lie down for a while, rest for a while, I will send someone to ask for a doctor now, you must hold on." Wait a minute, I invite the princess and aunt, and you will be saved. ”

Du Yuhang didn't move, he said with a dead face: "Palace Master, don't do these senseless things anymore, you hurry up and take a look, the candle shadows between the capital are red, and now they are all in chaos, our disciples have been killed and injured countless times, and many people have been arrested, and the disciples of the Confession Gate are the same." I don't know why the imperial court suddenly hunted us down. When Du Yuhang said these words, his face was like ashes, and he obviously had no love.

Of course, Tang couldn't watch him die like this, so she ordered his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding for him and helped him up.

Tang was shocked and called someone in, asked them to help Du Yuhang to rest on the bed, and asked them to ask for a doctor.

Who knows, that Du Yuhang's iron-clad man refused to seek medical treatment even if he died, and he said to Tang Jingran: "Palace master, it's the subordinates who are not good, and the subordinates are even the palace master." After saying that, his face suddenly turned like dead ashes, and it turned out that he had bitten his tongue and committed suicide.

Tang was shocked to be surrounded by inexplicable grief and anger in her heart at this moment, and she felt that she had never been so painful in her life.
