Min Qingrou took a sedan chair to the Criminal Department in the west of the Imperial City, and when Yan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw the arrival of the concubine of the King of Qi, he naturally knew why she came, so he welcomed him into the guest room to entertain him.

Yan Long retreated left and right, and Min Qingrou only left Rong Tai and Yuan Qiao by his side.

Yan Long looked at Rong Tai and Yuan Qiao, and arched his hand: "I don't know what happened to Concubine Rou's arrival?"

Min Qingrou smiled faintly and said, "I came here today, and I do have something to ask for, and I ask Lord Yan to be accommodating!"

"Concubine Rou is serious!

When Min Qingrou heard this, she deliberately sighed lightly and said, "My lord doesn't know, something like this happened in the Qi Palace, and the prince also had a headache. However, this is still a family matter of the Qi Palace, although the national law clearly states that the murder of the prince must be transferred to the criminal department for public trial, but after all, the concubines who are on trial are all the concubines of the prince, and their only purpose is only to compete for favor! This matter is more appropriate for the King of Qi to handle it personally. Lord Yan, what do you think?"

"Well, what Concubine Rou Niangniang said is true! It's just that the lower official is in the position of the criminal department, if he openly violates the laws of the imperial court, I am afraid that he will be criticized!"

Yan Long has been an official for many years, so of course he knows how to observe words and feelings. As soon as Min Qingrou stepped into the door of the Criminal Department, he knew that his trouble was coming.

Min Qingrou represents the King of Qi, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that I will get into trouble! But if I am obsessed with obeying, if I am found out in the future, I am afraid that my official position will be difficult to protect!

Although there is no too obvious party struggle between the princes now, there are already some signs of imminent action in the court. Especially two years ago, the emperor personally issued a holy decree, which prince gave birth to the crown heir first and became the crown prince, and all the palaces have moved.

Chengwang Situ Chi is the second son of the emperor, it is said that after the death of the crown prince Situ Yanxue, the heir to the throne should be him, but the emperor didn't know what was going on, and suddenly came to a paddock draft, which made the people of the government and the opposition panic, and I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart?

Does he like the second prince Situ Chi a little more, or the third prince and the fourth prince a little more?

No one can guess the emperor's thoughts, but the ministers below have to be careful! If this is in the wrong place, it will be over!

Now none of the three princes can afford to offend, but on the contrary, none of them can be too close. Otherwise, if you are dragged into the party struggle, I am afraid that I don't know how to die!

Although Yan Long is also a second-class member, compared to the Baili style of the household department Shangshu and the Duguyu of the Ministry of Rites, such royal relatives with strong family backgrounds, it is still a big difference!

Therefore, the face of the Qi Wangfu should be given, but the given must not be obvious. But this made him worried, and he didn't know that he had to carefully probe the meaning of this concubine of Qi.

Thinking of this, he arched his hand again and said: "Concubine Rou, the subordinates also have their own difficulties, but if the subordinates have any ideas, they can tell the subordinates, if the law allows, the subordinates will do their best to achieve the wishes of the mother!"

How could Min Qingrou not know this Yan Long's thoughts? Now that it is an eventful time in the court, who would go to the muzzle of the gun on the cusp of the storm for no reason? Unless he is tired of being alive!

Yan Long is an old officialdom, so he naturally plays this iron law perfectly. He wants to sell the favor of the Qi palace but also doesn't want to be discovered in a big way, how can Min Qingrou not understand?

So she smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, my lord! This matter doesn't bother my lord, as long as my lord allows me to go to the prison, my lord can do other things in accordance with the law! Of course, the prince and I will remember the favor of my lord!"

"Into the prison......?"

Yan Long hesitated a little when he heard this. It's not easy for anyone to get into. Unless there is an oracle or a gold medal, even if it is a first-class master, this prison cannot enter and exit casually!

Although Min Qingrou said that she represented the King of Qi, she was only a little concubine after all, and she didn't have any tokens, if she was allowed to enter the heavenly prison like this, I was afraid that something would happen!

Seeing Yan Long's embarrassed face, Min Qingrou smiled indifferently again, took out a piece of warm white jade from his sleeve, and carefully handed it to Yan Long.

"Lord Yan doesn't have to be embarrassed! please look at this thing, can it solve the worries of adults?"

Yan Long looked at the white tiger jade pendant in Min Qingrou's palm, his face immediately changed, and he stood up and bowed.

"The subordinates are terrified!"

The white tiger god Pena is a token given by the emperor to the princes, and it has been worshiped as a sacrifice at the shrine for three days and three nights, and it is said that it has given birth to aura.

Min Qingrou can come up with such a holy thing, which shows that she is indeed the real confidant concubine of King Qi, so he naturally does not dare to treat Min Qingrou with the same attitude as an ordinary prince and concubine.

"Lord Yan, please get up!" Min Qingrou raised her hand, took the White Tiger Divine Pendant back into her sleeve, and said, "My lord, can you be accommodating now?"

"Of course you can! Concubine Rou, the subordinate will take you to the prison!"

Yan Long saluted respectfully, and then waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to make arrangements.

Thanks to the blessing of the White Tiger God, Min Qingrou finally entered the prison smoothly, but she was the only one who could enter, and everyone else was left outside the prison to wait.

"Master, can you be alone?" Yuan Qiao was worried about trying to follow, but was stopped by the guards of the prison.

"Don't worry!" Min Qingrou just smiled faintly, looked at Rong Tai, who was also worried, and turned around and followed Yan Long into the prison.

As soon as I entered the prison, a damp and moldy smell came to my face. Min Qingrou frowned slightly, seeing that along the way, the prisoners in various cells were all embarrassed. Some of them had heavy chains wrapped around their feet, their ankles had been worn bloody, and some of them were no longer able to see their original color in prison clothes, and they did not know how long they had been imprisoned. Occasionally, there were a few sounds that seemed to be dying*, and it was even more eerie in this dark cell.

Min Qingrou walked all the way calmly, without the slightest timidity on her face, which made Yan Long can't help but secretly admire, it seems that this princess of Qi is really not an ordinary person!

This ordinary person will be a little timid when he enters the prison, even if he is not afraid, but this Roufei Niangniang seems to be walking in her own garden, and there is no trace of fear from beginning to end.

Yan Long finally understood at this moment, why Min Qingrou and her little concubine were able to hold the White Tiger Divine Pendant, and sure enough, this spirit was not something that others could have!

"Concubine Rou Niangniang, in front of you is the cell where the prisoner Nian Xia is held. ”

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yan Long led her to a narrow cell, where a figure covered in blood was crawling on the ground, and a bunch of weeds were spread on the cold ground, and the weeds were also stained with blood, and before she approached Min Qingrou, she had already smelled a disgusting bloody smell.

Min Qingrou raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose lightly, and then said to Yan Long: "Lord Yan, I want to say a few words to Nian Xia alone, I don't know if I can be accommodating?"

Yan Long pondered for a while, and replied briskly: "It's not impossible, it's just that the humidity in the prison is too heavy, and Concubine Rou Niangniang should hurry up, so as not to hurt the phoenix body, then the subordinates can't afford it!"

Min Qingrou nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord!" I only said a few words, and I will go out soon!"

"Open the door!" Yan Long looked at Min Qingrou and waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward to open the cell door.

"Niangniang, the subordinates will wait in the outer room first!" Yan Long arched his hand, and then retreated with the guards.

Min Qingrou bent down and entered the cell, and Nian Xia, who heard that the cell door was opened, struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Min Qingrou who walked in in disbelief, and after a while, she knelt down in front of Min Qingrou with tears in her eyes and cried.

"Mother, save the slave and the maid! The slave and the maid don't want to die! The slave and the maid don't want to die! The slave and the maid are wronged! The slave and the maid really did not poison the prince and the princess! The slave and the maid really did not! Please save the slave and the maid! The slave and the maid are willing to do anything for the maid, only ask the maid to save the slave and the maid's life!"

Min Qingrou glanced at Nian Xia, who was kneeling at her feet, squatted down slightly, and supported her.

Nian Xia's prison clothes were already tattered because of the torture, and his body was covered with blood, and there were several wounds that were rolled up and flesh, which was very terrifying. The originally beautiful face was also whipped out of the bloody marks, and it did not return to its original appearance.

At this moment, she no longer has a trace of arrogance, and she can no longer play a trace of scheming, this is the result that Min Qingrou wants!

Min Qingrou lightly raised Nian Xia's face, sighed with a little pity, and said with a little cold eyes: "Nian Xia, if you were willing to listen to Rong Tai's words and sincerely surrender to me, you would not have gotten to this point today! Rong Tai has a deep affection for you, but you betrayed him to have an affair with the guards of the Pujia Palace, and after being hit by Luo Mei, you promised her to use Rong Tai to return to Poria Xuan and then poison me! You say you were wronged? Why do I think Rong Tai, who was kept in the dark by you, was the most wronged?"

When Nian Xia heard this, he was stunned for a while, and he collapsed on the ground with chills.

It turned out that Concubine Rou already knew that all this was a conspiracy between her and Luomei Xueliu! It turned out that she had already seen through her! But how could it be? She thought that she had not revealed any flaws!

"What? Think it's impossible?" Min Qingrou smiled coldly and said: "When you came to Toucheng, I guessed that there must be fraud in it! You use Changde to spread the message, and use Rongtai's feelings for you to return to Poria Xuan, this can be forgiven! After all, everyone has their own aspirations, you like to climb the dragon and the phoenix, like glory and wealth, no one says that you are wrong! But you shouldn't turn your back on Rongtai, who is dedicated to you, and shamelessly hook up with the guards of the Pujia Palace! Just by virtue of this, Poria Xuan can't tolerate you!"

"Niangniang! The slave and maid know that they are wrong! The slave and the maid deserve to die! The slave and the maid are confused for a while, so they will believe in Fan Ying's demagogy! Niangniang, the slave and the maid dare not hide it! It was Fan Ying who said that he knew the secret of the prince, and as long as the slave and maid obeyed him, he would tell the slave and the maid! The slave and the maid were also confused for a while, so they did such ugly things with him! The slave and the maid knew that they were sorry for Rongtai! The slave and the maid knew that they were wrong! The slave and the maid knew that they were wrong! The slave and the maid knew that they were wrong!

Min Qingrou looked at Nian Xia, who was crying in a mess, got up and said coldly: "Save you, save you, let you hook up with the people around the prince again?" Nian Xia, don't you think you are too naïve?"

"No! The slave and the maid don't dare! The slave and the maid don't dare anymore! Ask the mother to save the slave and the maid! The slave and the maid will only listen to the mother and the maid in the future! The slave and the maid will not go to the sea of fire! Save the slave and the maid and save me! Save me! I don't want to die here, I don't want to be tortured anymore! The slave and the maid really can't stand it!"

Nian Xia cried and crawled to Min Qingrou's feet, and grabbed the corners of her clothes weakly with both hands, Min Qingrou found that Nian Xia's hands seemed to have been clamped with sticks, and the finger bones were swollen and deformed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was extremely miserable.

Min Qingrou swept Nian Xia lightly and said lightly: "Nian Xia, if you want to live, just do as I say!"

was betrayed by Situ Chi at the beginning, Min Qingrou was heartbroken, so she still hates people who are indiscriminate. If it weren't for Rong Tai's intercession, no matter how miserable Nian Xia was, she would never have saved her from prison!

If after this time, Nian Xia can't change her ways, then she doesn't mind giving her to the knot with her own hands!

The flame of revenge has burned the prairies, and those who touch it will be killed!
