Chapter 440: Let's Make a Choice
Shangguan Li himself lowered his eyebrows slightly, and then stabilized his mind.
She let go of the hand that was holding Shangguan Xun and gave him a little respite. Losing her strength, Shangguan Xun immediately fell down and began to cough on the ground.
Shangguan Li took a few steps in the small cell, and in the innermost wall, there was a slight sound of breathing.
The concealment technique is quite high, and if she hadn't taken the initiative to find it, she would probably have ignored it.
Although I don't know if it's the emperor's person or Feng Sibei's person, it seems that they are very worried about her.
She walked up to Shangguan Xun and saw that he had recovered from it, so she brought in the untouched breakfast brought to the prison door.
Two yellowed steamed buns, a bowl of dusty water.
If this was in the former Prime Minister's Mansion, even the dogs of the subordinates would have eaten better than this. No wonder he refused to eat it.
"Prime Minister, you can't die now."
She swung the tray in front of Shangguan Xun and said condescendingly.
"It's so easy to die, where can I take revenge?"
Shangguan Xun raised his head a little disheartened, but he felt that it was dark in front of him, Shangguan Li squatted down, dipped his fingers in some water, and made a few strokes on the ground covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Do you want me to let Shangguan Bu go?"
His pupils narrowed.
There were a few "ho-ho" sounds in his throat, and he subconsciously wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words again after coming into contact with Shangguan Li's warning eyes.
After all, he has been in the court for many years, and he is not a fledgling young boy, and he knows the truth that the wall has ears.
Stabilizing his mind, he said with difficulty.
"Even if, even if I was sorry for you once, now this fate is enough to pay you back, right?"
At the same time, he also wrote on the ground: What do you want me to do?
Shangguan Li chuckled.
"Give me back? Also, the Prime Minister thinks that anything can be traded. ”
The wall on your right, crash through.
Shangguan Xun's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth.
"Is it possible that as long as I die in front of you, you will be able to spare a step?"
"Who knows, maybe not."
"Okay, okay."
Shangguan Xun said three good words in a row, then closed his eyes and slammed straight into the wall.
Looking at the momentum, there is no ambiguity at all.
Shangguan Li looked at it coldly, and saw that he was really about to collide, so he made a mistake and moved over at a speed much faster than Shangguan Xun.
Before his head was about to hit the cold, hard wall and bleed, he kicked it over.
"Boom!"
With a dull sound, the wall was directly dented by her kick.
Because of this, Shangguan Xun crashed into the air, stumbled directly under his feet, and fell to the ground again.
Shangguan Li listened for a moment, and the people over there had disappeared.
"Eh, what's wrong...... What's going on?! ”
When the guards heard this, they saw a large piece of the wall in their cell, and the prisoner was lying on the ground, and his life and death were unknown.
If Shangguan Xun really died before the formal trial, Master Gao would not have to peel off his skin? Not to mention that when the emperor blames it, the entire criminal department will have to go around without food!
When the official thought of this, his head suddenly became big, and he was about to open the door and come in tremblingly.
"Stop."
Shangguan Li's voice stopped him coldly.
"County Lord......"
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet."
Shangguan Xun seemed to have finally recovered, and coughed twice very cooperatively.
Seeing that he still had his life, the chief of the officials breathed a long sigh of relief.
But as soon as he put down this breath, he felt a cold gaze sweeping over, and he raised his eyes to see that the county lord who was holding the emperor's token was looking at him with unkind eyes.
Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly said, "Don't leave yet?" "Three big words.
The official coughed hurriedly and stood up straight.
"The county lord, please, please."
After saying that, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
At this point, there are really only two people left in this cell, her and Shangguan Xun.
"What the hell do you want me to do?"
Shangguan Xun sat up, leaning against the wall to make himself a little more decent, about even a person like him, at the end of the journey, he remembered the worthless word "dignity".
He glanced around.
The cell was windowless, dim and rotten, and the unsightly dust swelled with a foul smell. Shangguan Li was pestled in place like a green bamboo, and even in such a place, she looked as if she had a style of her own.
"I don't want you to do anything."
Her voice was cold and clear, deliberately separating the distance between her and Shangguan Xun's words.
"I'll give you a choice."
Shangguan Xun raised his head.
"Or, you just stay here and wait for the emperor's disposal. Of course, there is King An who is fueling the troubles, and the fate of you and the rest of the Prime Minister's Mansion should not be reminded by me. ”
Since ancient times, party struggles have paid attention to cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, even if Feng Sibei usually treats people like a harmless gentleman, but Shangguan Xun has followed Feng Sichen and fought with him for so many years, of course, he understands that King An is far more ruthless than the means he has shown now.
To be honest, King An has not taken the initiative to do anything to him until now, but just watched the fire from the other side, and really handed over this matter to the Criminal Department to deal with. It was already a big surprise to him.
Of course, he didn't know that there was Shangguan Li'an Wangfu and his party here, and he temporarily stabilized Feng Sibei.
"What about the other option?"
Shangguan Li lowered his voice slightly.
"From now on, I will no longer help King Yu do things, and I will no longer participate in party struggles, and I will ...... Help me. ”
The candlestick on the wall outside the cell was gently blown by the wind, and the flames danced a little, reflecting in Shangguan Xun's afterglow, and the light pierced his eyes.
Only then did he recover from his shock.
Did you just hear it wrong?
"You heard it right."
Shangguan Li saw through what he was thinking, and added lightly.
After speaking, she lowered her eyes and looked down.
"Okay, now you can make a choice. There's not much time, you'd better hurry. ”
"Wait, wait."
Shangguan Xun was in a hurry, and his speed of speech became faster.
"You mean, let me betray King Yu and be on your side?"
Shangguan Li didn't speak, but his eyes were clear, not like he was delirious, and he didn't look like he was joking.
Only then did he confirm that she really wasn't joking with him, and his face immediately sank.
"Shangguan Li, even if I am down now, but this is only temporary, as long as I get through this time, when the limelight passes, the news of the King of Zhenbei will become the focus of discussion among the people again. At that time, won't His Royal Highness King Yu have more strength and skill than you to rescue me? ”
"Huh."
Shangguan Li evoked a sneer.
"Do you still think that Feng Sichen will take care of your life and death, you can't see that you still like daydreaming so much."
