CHAPTER XLIII
Wutong took the paper bag and couldn't help but sigh: "The bag is so exquisite, no wonder the second princess has to open it to take a look." ”
Jing Chen ignored her, opened the paper bag by himself, and carefully took out a white silk underwear inside, because it was a semi-finished product, Jing Chen didn't understand, for fear of messing up, and when he unfolded it, a note was caught under the armpit of the clothes.
Wutong's eyes widened and he said, "Niangniang......."
Jing Chen glared at her: "Be quiet." ”
"This was brought by the eldest princess, could it be ........"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yin Jingchen is now unsure if Chu Yunxi knows about this matter, but the only explanation for this matter is that the tailor shop has mixed in with Lu Ming's people. And now that Lu Ming asked her to meet, she must go, but she didn't want to involve Chu Yunxi.
The place where Lu Ming and Yin Jingchen met was a restaurant not far from Xu's tailor shop, the Stork Bird Building. Jing Chen came to the meeting place early, drank a pot of tea, and Lu Ming came belatedly.
Lu Ming has been through the wind and frost, less bohemian, but more disciplined, it turns out that time can really make people grow. Today's Lu Ming is not only mature, but also has the responsibility after maturity.
Lu Ming saw Jing Chen clasping his fists and smiled: "Thank you for your willingness to help me." ”
Jing Chen smiled: "You still trust me?" ”
"Only you can believe it.
"I may be about to disappoint you, I still can't find out the whereabouts of your family."
"It's not your fault, Shangguan Jun wants to hide people, how can people find it casually"
"In that case, why don't you talk to him in person?"
"What do you think we can sit down and talk about now, I won't even have the qualifications to sit down face-to-face with him, he imprisoned my family just to wait for me to be arrested, he wants to give an explanation to the people of the world, and make an example of chickens and monkeys."
"How did you evade the guards, you know that I came out to be protected."
"If I didn't have this ability, how could I stay in the capital for so long, and how could I infiltrate the Xu family's tailor shop so easily, aren't you going in and out of the palace so frequently just to wait for my news, of course I have to do something."
"But you've got an unrelated person involved, do you know who that person is?"
"Now I don't care about this, I asked you out today just to ask you to help me with one more thing, after this incident, you and I will be passers-by from now on"
Jing Chen looked at Lu Ming, she guessed that things would not be as simple as she thought.
"I want Shangguan Jun's edict."
Jing Chen looked at Lu Ming in surprise, "I met with you, and I have committed the crime of deceiving the king by helping you find out the news, and you still want me to ......."
Lu Ming saw Yin Jingchen's embarrassment. "It's come to this, I have nothing else to ask for, thinking of our childhood relationship, please help me, I just want to save my family, whether I succeed or not has nothing to do with you." Lu Ming clenched his fists and bowed.
"You found out where your family is?"
"Yes, the supervision there is very strict, and only Shangguan Jun's hand can let people in, this is my only chance."
"Yes...... I can't do that, and if I do, I'd betray him...... A proud man like him can't tolerate ......"
"Chen'er, I know it's very difficult for you to do this, you are doing this for him everywhere, have you ever thought that he is for you, Mrs. Yin is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, for the sake of power, he still charged his old man with the crime of abusing power for personal gain and perverting the law for bribes." He saw that Jing Chen's eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously unwilling to hear him mention Mrs. Yin.
"There is also Shen Taiwei, the original salt and iron theory, Shen Taiwei strongly agreed with the centralization of salt and iron, but he was guillotined by a group of henchmen led by the Shangguan clan and the Guan clan on the charge of Shen Taiwei causing trouble to the dynasty and forming a party for personal gain, just because he was promoted by Yin Wangye, he was detained by King Yin's faction. But don't you see that the salt and iron are still in the hands of his Shangguan clan now? The so-called private sector is for the people. Seeing Jing Chen's stunned appearance, Lu Ming continued: "I know that you are in a dilemma, but I just think that for the sake of my Lu family's loyalty to Emperor Yin, let our Lu clan go, after all, there are not many ministers left of Emperor Yin." ”
Jing Chen raised his head and looked at Lu Ming, thinking about his words. "I'll think about it........." Lu Ming's words were nothing more than a slap in the face for her, is Shangguan Jun really unable to tolerate the people of the previous dynasty?
"I'm afraid I'm going to be shaken by what I'm saying......"
This voice is very familiar, Jing Chen was shocked, the two turned around at the same time, only to see Shangguan Jun walking down the stairs, walking to Jing Chen's side, stopping her shoulder, as if declaring sovereignty, and looked at Lu Ming.
"I don't need a single soldier or clan to capture Lord Lu alive, and this credit is credited to the queen."
Jing Chen wanted to break free from his shackles, but he didn't let her move, "Our account will be settled when we go back." He lowered his voice, chilling. Jing Chen was dripping in cold sweat.
"Shangguan Jun fell into your hands today, and if you want to kill or kill me, someone in Lu will listen to him, but it's just ......"
Shangguan Jun didn't wait for him to finish speaking and ordered the secret guards to catch Lu Ming, Lu Ming knew that he couldn't escape at this moment, so he gave up the struggle, disarmed and surrendered. Lu Ming was tied up, and when he was taken away, he glanced at Jing Chen, and Jing Chen looked at him with grief and guilt in his eyes. He laughed, and Jing Chen wanted to follow to explain, but was dragged back by Shangguan Jun.
"I didn't expect a Lu Ming, the emperor actually went out in person." Jing Chen's eyes were full of ridicule.
"You sent someone to follow me? You take advantage of me. ”
"What about you, for the sake of a Lu Ming, betrayed me, I'm curious what he will do if he asks you to take my hand?" Shangguan Jun's expression was cold, his tone was serious, and he was angry.
"Follow me back to the palace." He pulled Jing Chen, and Jing Chen, who was so strong, was almost stumbled. When he walked out of the door of the Stork Tower, Yu Xianlong stood aside with his head bowed, and helped Jing Chen, who was about to fall, Shangguan Jun punched him, and was angry: "Get out"
Yu Xianlong bowed and retreated, and Shangguan Jun continued: "Tie him up for me too." The secret guard received the order, and Yu Xianlong was tied up by the five flowers. The two didn't say anything all the way, and the atmosphere was cold and infiltrating.
Back in the queen's hall, Shangguan Jun ordered Wutong to take the little princess out, and Jing Chen stopped him.
"What are you going to do?" Jing Chen saw Shangguan Jun standing in the courtyard of the queen's palace, and he was furious. A bad premonition came to you.
Wutong came out with the child in his arms, and was frightened when he saw the two people who were tense and didn't dare to step forward.
"Take the child to the Chengqian Palace." Shangguan Jun's attitude was firm, and Wutong was stunned.
"Yin Jingchen, you have trapped my family in injustice like this, and you are not worthy of being the mother of my child." These words are tantamount to sentencing Jing Chen to death.
"No, no." Jing Chen ran to Wutong's side, but was stopped by Shangguan Jun.
"I'm afraid that you will teach my child badly, Yin Jingchen, you have a good chess move, and you will turn the people of our Shangguan family around, for a Lu Ming, you are like this, even the sister-in-law has to take advantage of it."
Yin Jingchen heard him mention Chu Yunxi and knew that things would not be so easy, and how could she be willing to involve Chu Yunxi. But if he took the child and threatened her, she would fight to the end.
"Now that you know it, then I can't argue, for Yunxi, she was just an accident, I really didn't expect it."
"Then, what is the explanation of the General's Mansion? If you don't achieve your goal, you won't stop........"
"You are actually clear, that is, you have long been clear, put this on, wait for my curtain call? It's insidious......."
Shangguan Jun ignored him, looked at her and said word by word: "Wutong brought the child over." Wutong looked at Jing Chen and hesitated.
Shangguan Jun hurriedly snatched the child, the little princess blinked and looked at Shangguan Jun, he thought she would cry, but she didn't cry...... Shangguan Jun's heart ached inexplicably. Jing Chen could see his firmness, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, please return the child to me, you can do whatever you want with me, as long as I am with Yi'er." Jing Chen burst into tears.
Wutong couldn't bear to look at it, and cried and prayed. However, Shangguan Jun made up his mind, he didn't look at Jing Chen, who was crying bitterly, her heart-rending cry tortured his heart, and he was afraid that he would compromise again. Then he resolutely walked away.
Just when Shangguan Jun was distracted, Jing Chen quietly pulled out the long sword in the hand of the guard standing beside her. She stood up, sword in hand.
"Wait."
Shangguan Jun turned around and saw her holding the long sword, he frowned, "What are you going to do?" As he spoke, he motioned to the guard beside him to take down the sword in Jing Chen's hand, but he didn't want to, Jing Chen took the sword and put it on his neck, Shangguan Jun was shocked.
"Yin Jingchen, you put it down."
"You give me back the baby."
"Don't worry, we can discuss." Shangguan Jun took a step forward and tried to snatch the sword from her hand.
"Go back," Jing Chen leaned the sword towards herself, Shangguan Jun saw that the sword had pierced her neck, and the blood flowed, Jing Chen's attitude was resolute.
"Yes, I promise you." He hugged the child to Wutong, and Wutong walked towards Jingchen with the child in his arms.
"Mother, little princess, you put down your sword, don't hurt the little princess."
Jing Chen threw away her sword, hugged the child, and looked at her with a pair of innocent eyes looking at her, she thought how much this child hurt her mother's heart, and she didn't cry in this case. And she burst into tears.
When Shangguan Jun listened to Jingchen's cry of joy because of the loss, his heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, Yin Jingchen's mistake was a capital crime when investigated. Now they are breaking each other's hearts because of outsiders, and he doesn't know if it's worth it. However, Yin Jingchen's sin today has involved his family, which is a bottom line that cannot be touched for him. He really didn't know what to do, he sighed in his heart, and looked at Jing Chen again, her neck was still bleeding, and the eye-catching cut stinged his eyes, and he was ruthless and walked away.
Wutong wanted to take the child, but was stopped by Jing Chen. She knew that Niangniang must have been frightened by the emperor's words and deeds. But what is it for this time? The two of them actually said such hurtful words. She helped Jing Chen into the queen's palace, and ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor to bandage Jing Chen's wounds......
