CHAPTER XXXIV
Yin Jingchen was even more sad, he didn't believe her, this inexplicable charge was placed on Mrs. Yin's body like this, who would be next? That's politics, that's right. The same is true for companions like tigers.
"I don't believe it, I'm going to ask him personally....."
"No, no one can see him now."
Shangguan Jun was really anxious, she stopped Yin Jingchen: "I have issued an order, the intercessor is guilty of the same crime, and send the mother back to the palace." ”
Jing Chen looked at him and lowered his voice and said, "Why is this happening, you don't have a word of explanation, how can this convince me." ”
"Li Xingyun," Shangguan Jun almost roared, "Send Niangniang back."
Li Xingyun received the order and came to invite Jing Chen, but Jing Chen still couldn't believe it, such Shangguan Jun really made him strange.
Their relationship seems to have returned to when they first got married. He had a cold attitude and was awkward to her. He doesn't like to hear even his subordinates call him a horse master, and now he eats and lives in the Chengqian Palace, and sometimes he stays in the Wanhe Palace. The Queen's Palace is not a step in.
Jing Chen knew that he was avoiding her.
There is a lot of discussion about the arrest of Taifu Yin, some say that Taifu is corrupt and perverts the law, and there are dozens of boxes of dirty silver found in Taifu's mansion, and some say that Taifu collaborated with the enemy and treason, and found a lot of correspondence with Buyeo in Taifu's mansion, and even said that Taifu wanted to assassinate the emperor, and was arrested on the spot and arrested. When the rumors spread, the voices of the people demanding the punishment of Mrs. Yin continued to rise, and some localities even signed a joint letter demanding that Mrs. Yin be sentenced to death, which made the people angry.
Things developed like this, and Yin Jingchen felt that she had to do something. When Taifu Yin was imprisoned in the prison, he asked Yu Xianlong to pay attention to it and take care of it, but because there was an exceptionally strict supervision of Taifu Yin as an important minister in the court, idle people were not allowed to approach. Yu Xianlong lingered in the prison for several days, and he was familiar with the jailer, but he still couldn't get close to Mrs. Yin.
Yin Jingchen listened to Yu Xianlong's report and knew that this was Shangguan Jun's order. But she still has to try. She wanted to ask Mrs. Yin face to face, how she didn't believe that he would collude with Dong Yulin, let alone believe that he was favoritism and corrupt the law.
coincided with the visit of the Burmese envoy, Shangguan Jun brought a banquet of civil and military officials to invite the envoy, and she took this opportunity to slip into the prison. Early in the morning, Li Yuni came to complain to her: "Why don't you participate, don't you give Chen Yin a chance, and why are you so stiff because of the things on the side." ”
The news of Shangguan Jun and Yin Jingchen's quarrel in the Chengqian Palace has already spread in the harem. Jing Chen did not leave the queen's palace because of the events of that day, and there were rumors in the palace that the queen's mother was grounded.
What Li Yuni means is that you should go out for a walk, and the rumors will be self-defeating at that stop. Yin Jingchen didn't bother to pay attention to these. just smiled apologetically at Li Yuni: "I'm tired, I'm not good at those things." Li Yuni didn't persuade her deeply.
Just when the singing and dancing in the palace was leveling, Yu Xianlong led the way to the prison for Yin Jingchen. At first, the jailer was not accommodating, but Jing Chen finally revealed his identity and was allowed to do so. Yu Xianlong was afraid that someone would report to Shangguan Jun, so he dragged with the jailer to distract himself.
This is the first time Yin Jingchen has entered the heavenly prison since he grew up so big, and the damp air that came to his face at first glance, mixed with the smell of decay, Jingchen could hardly imagine how Yin Taifu could endure this kind of suffering. Perhaps because of Mrs. Yin's special identity, the place where he was held was very hidden, and she didn't stop until she went to the innermost and the person who led the way only showed her.
Jing Chen called out to Taifu, and saw an old man with messy hair turn around and meet her eyes. Jing Chen would never have thought that the old man who was once in good spirits would now have experienced vicissitudes, if it weren't for his calm and leisurely, Jing Chen really wouldn't have recognized him.
"Niangniang, you ....... minister to meet Niangniang......"
"Taifu, hurry up, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, favoritism, and seeking to usurp the throne......"
"I'm afraid these charges have been on me from the moment I was brought in."
Jing Chen looked at this old man who had been humiliated and ravaged, and his heart hurt inexplicably. He does have something unspeakable.
"Niangniang still believes in Lao Chen?"
"Yes, you are a veteran of the three dynasties, if you wanted to, you would not have supported the current emperor at first."
"In the end, it's just you....... I don't even believe in myself."
"I have limited time, please tell me the truth, so I can find a way to get you out."
"When I came here, I didn't think I would be able to go out, and I don't have to worry about this useless person...... The old minister finally asked Niangniang, is the prince still alive? ”
Jing Chen was surprised, only a few people knew about this matter, how could he know, could it be......
"Niangniang, the old minister has been for the Yin dynasty all his life...... Shangguan Jun is an emperor, but the prince is not bad. At the beginning, there was no one in the court, and because of Emperor Yin's deathbed entrustment, I had no choice but to do so. But now that the crown prince is still alive, he should ......"
"Taifu, are you confused, no matter what Shangguan Jun has done in the past few years, besides, he has indeed done a good job, the throne is not child's play, my brother did not inherit it at the beginning, even if he came back, it is even more impossible. What's more..... this makes other countries think of us. ”
"Now it's the world of the Shangguan family, how can there be traces of Emperor Yin when he was alive. He Shangguan Jun is not yesterday's him, otherwise why would he go to find the prince under the guise of the royal driver's personal expedition, it is a good thing for the prince to lose his memory, if the prince is well, how can he tell you, besides, the prince's death has doubts that cannot be explained......"
Jing Chen couldn't believe it, didn't the prince's death have long been determined to be committed by his imperial uncle, why are there still doubts that can't be explained, she wants to ask to understand.
She was just about to make him understand, when she heard: "The slave should die, the slave should die......"
Then came Shangguan Jun's sentence: "Who gave you the guts" came. Others have come in.
He seemed to have just come from the banquet, and he still smelled of wine, Jing Chen looked down at him walking towards her, and the footsteps hidden under the bright yellow shirt approached her little by little. She began to break out in a cold sweat.
"Come on, take Yu Xianlong to the Tingwei Mansion and punish him with a hundred rods." Shangguan Jun looked at Yin Jingchen, his tone was not good, and he was thoroughly murderous.
"No, ......." Yin Jingchen wanted to stop.
Yu Xianlong hurriedly knelt down: "Minister's decree, thank Your Majesty for ....... Niangniang......"
"Get out of ......," Shangguan Jun roared angrily.
Before Jing Chen could say anything, he was dragged over by Shangguan Jun, and Jing Chen, who had great strength, frowned. Strode out of the prison.
Out of the prison, Jing Chen began to break free, and he didn't let go, "You hurt me." ”
Shangguan Jun shook off her hand, his face was cold: "Taifu Yin is a repeat offender, no one is allowed to visit without my will, this is a holy decree." Then he shouted angrily: "Yin Jingchen, you are resisting the decree." ”
At this time, there was a kneeling outside the prison, and Shangguan Jun was even more angry when he looked at them trembling one by one.
"These people are decided."
Jing Chen's voice trembled: "It was I who falsely passed on your will, and they let me go, and you want to kill or cut me off." ”
Shangguan Jun looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, she did whatever she wanted with his favor. He must have an account of today's events.
"You're too busy to take care of yourself, and you have to take care of others. If it weren't for your insistence, it wouldn't have killed these people, and I want you to understand this lesson. With that, he waved his hand, and a group of guards behind him pulled the kneeling jailer away.
"Please let Yu Xianlong go, can he still survive after a hundred rods? Today's events are my fault. Whatever you want me to do, please spare him. Jing Chen pleaded with him in a low voice.
Shangguan Jun broke her hand, she didn't let go, and while tearing, the sachet tassel he was carrying was torn off by her. This tassel was still beaten by her own hands. Jing Chen looked at the scattered tassels, she and him were like this tassel that could not be recovered.
Jing Chen was unwilling: "I'll just ask you if the last sentence of what Mrs. Yin said is true?" ”
Shangguan Jun looked at the spikes scattered on the ground, and his heart was in turmoil. He controlled and controlled, but he still didn't control it. When the secret guard came to report, he was staggering at the banquet, and at that moment he wanted to leave the table, but he still endured it, he suppressed all his anger, and only then came out under the pretext of changing clothes. But the moment he saw her in the prison, his anger burned again.
"Everyone in the queen's palace is each punished with twenty rods, and no one is allowed to step out of the palace gate without my permission, otherwise they will be killed! Not! Pardon! ”
After dropping this sentence, Shangguan Jun brushed his sleeves away. Yin Jingchen looked at the scattered spikes blown away by the wind, she was really grounded this time.
This night, there was a constant crying and wailing in the queen's hall, everyone regardless of the eunuchs and palace maids were beaten with twenty boards, and the little eunuchs had rough skin and thick flesh to bear, but those palace maids were all watery, how could they stand the thin skin and tender meat, it was really skin and flesh. Appalling. And Yin Jingchen is something that no one dares to execute, although Shangguan Jun has ordered everyone in the queen's palace, this everyone makes it difficult for the executor.
Yin Jingchen looked at the slaves kneeling on the ground, some of them couldn't bear the pain, and sobbed quietly. She lay on the ground and motioned to the executor. Wutong cried and hidden: "Niang Niang can't help it." "How dare the executor do anything to the current queen, and finally flee in a hurry.
Overnight, the queen's palace and others, including Yu Xianlong's cane punishment in the Tingwei Mansion, and even Yin Jingchen were grounded. Although the news was tried to hide, it still spread on a small scale. Shangguan Han saw that something was wrong with Shangguan Jun at the banquet, and although he tried to hide it, the cold air emanating from his body still made him frown. Later, it was rumored that Yu Xianlong was tortured in the Tingwei Mansion, and he guessed one or two.
A few days later, Li Yuni went to the queen's palace to visit Jingchen, but she didn't want to be blocked out of the palace.
Shangguan Han saw her come back angrily and asked the reason,
"The emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to approach the queen's palace, and the mother is grounded."
Shangguan Han snorted: "This, what's the matter, who is this, even you dare to stop it, it's really an ambitious leopard's guts." ”
Li Yuni ignored him and scolded angrily: "Knowingly asked." ”
