Fortunately, no matter how long the road is, there is a time when it comes to an end. At the end of the corridor was a wide and bright hall, and the rooms with the iron doors seemed to be arranged in a disorderly manner, and after a closer look, Mu Rong felt that this arrangement seemed to have some kind of pattern. She held her breath, and the grandson of her daughter-in-law, whom she missed day and night, was behind some iron door here. The hall was so quiet that Dailan heard footsteps and wondered who was coming.

The warden led her inside, and she counted steps, one step, two steps, forty-three steps, and stopped at an iron door, the walls of which were painted gold, and the light of the fire shining on them, which seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.

It's here. Mu Rong looked into the window with some excitement, the inside of the cell was a pink and white wall, with a well-decorated vault, although it could not be seen, but there was obviously a bright crystal lamp on the wall. It seems that what Prince Zaima said is true, and the environment here is not bad.

"This is it, ma'am, and when you go in, we'll lock the door. If you want to end this visit, you can call the jailers, and the four of them will stay outside the door far enough away to wait. The warden unlocked the lock and bowed to her with a smile. "Forgive me for not being here for you, I need to go back to the front room. ”

"Thank you very much, sir. Mu Rong returned the salute.

The iron door was slowly pushed open, and Mu Rong saw her daughter-in-law at a glance.

Long Dailan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hand, she raised her head expectantly, listening to the conversation outside just now, she knew who the visitor was. When she saw the person who came in, she seemed to be convinced that it was true. The book fell from her hand to the ground.

"Mother!" Long Dailan stood up, surprised and delighted. Mu Rong stepped forward and hugged her tightly. She was a little emaciated and suffering.

The iron door was closed behind its back, making a crisp sound of a lock.

"Mother, it's great to see you!" the daughter-in-law hugged her mother-in-law back. Long Dailan has never changed the habit of titles of royal nobles. They don't usually call "Mommy" and "Daddy".

"Good daughter, I'm very happy. His Majesty's approval decree arrived not long ago, and I rushed over at once. In my heart, I've been looking forward to seeing you sooner. You are here...... What do they do to you?"

"Everything was fine except not being able to go out. Dai Lan helped her to sit on the edge of the bed, careful not to step on her mother-in-law's long dress. "Father, do you have any news from me?"

"Not yet. But don't worry, the two of them will be fine, and they will definitely recapture Palm Forest City and return triumphantly. This was also a rare tempering for Qin Ming, and it was the first time for him to start a large-scale war with the barbarians. Mu Rong smiled, she knew what her daughter-in-law meant as soon as she heard it, Dai Lan wanted to ask Qin Ming the most, but she was embarrassed, and as soon as she said it, she turned into asking Qin Wei.

"Then, is everyone still in the royal capital?"

"Last time, I let some of the vassals go back, and yesterday Li'er and Yu'er also left, and Shuo'er and I stayed. ”

"So, when they left, you hadn't received the order. ”

"I must see you, child. I knew I could, no, it's coming today. Mu Rong stroked her face, smiled, and then gently touched her abdomen, "It's been four months, is he disobedient?"

"Not yet, Mother. When it comes to the child, Dai Lan seems very happy, "But I think it won't take long for me to feel his vitality, and he must be an idle child like Qin Ming." ”

"Did the Imperial Doctor come to see you? did he prepare any special food for you?"

"Yes, Mother, you don't have to worry too much. They didn't intend to stop my child from coming into the world. ”

"Because they all know in their hearts, whose child is this! You are pregnant with the child of our Qin family, staying in this kind of place, alas, this is really ......" A wave of anger suddenly welled up in her heart, "The first king married you to Jinbao to live well. I'm sorry for you, my good daughter!", she said, sobbing softly.

This is the first time the daughter-in-law has seen her cry.

For a while, Dai Lan was a little overwhelmed, hurriedly left the edge of the bed, knelt down, and buried her head in front of her mother-in-law's knees, "It's my daughter who is sorry for you, sorry for my father, and sorry for Jinbao." Your daughter has been put to shame by the charge of shame. ”

I have such a daughter-in-law, how can I not be satisfied, how can I not be proud?" "You have a child in your belly, get up quickly! I know, Jin Bao knows that you are innocent." None of us will believe that kind of vicious rumor, you are the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, you married into the Qin family cleanly, and you have never done anything to insult the Qin family. She took Dai Lan's arms, pulled her back to sit on the edge of the bed, close to her ear, and whispered, "I will find a way to clear your name for that trumped-up crime and give you justice." ”

The four jailers were far away from the door, and such a small voice should not be audible.

"No, Mother. Dai Lan replied in a low voice, "Don't risk it because of me. You know, that's not me, and that's not what my father wants. ”

"Isn't going to prison an insult to you, isn't it also a humiliation to our Qin family and your father? He will pay the sin and be judged by the dragon. This time, on the day of the dragon's face, the spirit dragon did not appear, do you know?"

"I heard from the jailer. Too bad. ”

That was God's judgment. Judgment of the guilty. ”

"I don't want ...... The kingdom is at war because of me......" Dailan involuntarily clenched her hand. "They were originally my people. Although I did not have the opportunity to lead them to a happier life, I could not make their lives difficult and unfortunate from now on, and I could not let them lose their son, father and husband because of me. ”

Like the kings who came before her, she always put others first and always remembered her people. My God, do you see all this, do you care about this poor man?

"Silly boy, you don't necessarily need to start a war to clear your name of non-existent crimes. War was not what I expected either, that was our last option. I can try something else. ”

"He's not going to let me out of here, I know. He has already made a decision that once my child is born, he will become the adopted son of the eldest princess. ”

"This is the child of the Qin family, how can it fall into his hands!" she said categorically, "They want to wait for the child to be born?" So, they want to keep you for another half a year. ”

"My verdict has come down, Mother. Dailan's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "Life imprisonment." ”

And so it was. It was all as she thought, the usurper and the fourth princess came to an agreement, and he left a little leeway for his crimes. Dai Lan may not die, but in this life, she doesn't want to be free, and the usurper is afraid that once she is free, she will gain the support of the princes of the whole country and take back the inheritance. "They didn't take our Qin family seriously. I'll figure it out, daughter. You can wait with peace of mind. Qin Bo had already gone back earlier, and I asked him to invite your aunt and grandmother, if she was willing to come forward, she should be able to help you. ”

"Ahh......h She's not ......," Long Dailan exclaimed in a low voice.

This aunt and grandmother are the aunt of her father Wang Long Xingtian, and the sister of the twenty-seventh Dragon Monarch Long Shaode, Long Nianen. Long Nianen is the eldest daughter of the 26th Dragon Monarch Long Shangqing, married to Jinbao and became the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Qin family, and was respectfully called "Holy Grandma". Later, because of the death of her children one after another, she entered the Kongo Temple and became a female monk, living a life of seclusion and ignorance of world affairs. From then until now, although the Qin family has visited her every year, no one can change her mind and let her return to Jinbao.

Mu Rong had heard from her husband that after her marriage, the Holy Grandmother often returned to the dragon to visit her father, her siblings, and their children. As the eldest daughter of a high status in the family, the Holy Grandmother was very concerned about the offspring in the family, and the generation of the first king was very favored in front of her when she was a child, so everyone respected and loved her very much. After Long Nianen lived in Kongo Temple, the first king took his younger brothers and sisters to visit her twice and persuaded her to change her mind, but without success.

After Dai Lan married to the Golden Castle, she also went to see the Holy Grandmother. If there is still someone who can make the usurper buy it...... Only the Holy Grandmother remains. But to invite her, who has lived in seclusion for many years, Mu Rong has to admit that it is not easy.

"Your father-in-law often talks to me about her past. Your aunt and grandmother, before the last nomadic tide, were a person who cared for others and the fate of the kingdom, and she treated everyone equally. Because of her incomparably gentle heart, she was very respected in the Qin family and the entire Golden Horse, and the commoners and nobles liked her and missed her alike. Now that her family has suffered a serious accident, her descendants have suffered unimaginable humiliation, Linglong has just been absent from the Dragon Face Day, and has not publicly supported her family anymore, all of this, I believe must make her sad, she has the unyielding blood of the Holy King in her body, will she bear to watch her relatives go on like this? I believe not. ”

Delan nodded, but it didn't seem like she had much hope.

Mu Rong said again: "Have your sisters come to see you these days?"

"Qinglian has been here three times, but Su Yun has not been approved. ”

Odd. "Why is this happening, Su Yun is not allowed?"

"I don't quite understand it either. However, the first time Qinglian came, it seems that her mother brought it. ”

"Princess Jinyu?" she asked.

"Yes, I don't think Qinglian would have been able to come here if it weren't for Princess Jinyu. ”

"This probably explains why Su Yun can't get in. She suddenly remembered something, "After Lord Qiu died, Princess Jinyu's elder brother Pei Yong took over the position of national craftsman. It seems that the Pei family is quite popular in the cabinet. ”

Dai Lan said: "Pei Yong is the examiner of the Craftsman Pavilion, and his voice as the next national craftsman was very high in the past. ”

"By the way, I remembered that Qiu De's previous national craftsman was Pei Kai. Ever since you were imprisoned here, we've all lost news of her. ”

"Qinglian told me last time she came that she couldn't see the fourth sister. The fourth sister should have been placed under house arrest by them, and it was not difficult for them to find a charge on my head, but the fourth sister had no reason to be deprived of the right to inherit, and the usurper made a deal with her. ”

"The usurper traded your judgment for her renunciation. "That's the way it is.

"It should be. I know the character of the fourth sister too well, if I threaten her with my life, she will give in. ”

"Since the usurper does not intend to let you go, then I will not leave the royal capital until your child is born. He has sat on the throne and wants to prevent accidents from happening. When your father-in-law's war is over, we will have a chance to make a deal with him, and if your aunt and grandmother can also come out and say a few words, then you still have a chance to get out of here. Child, you have to have faith, hope, and not be too negative. ”

"Mother, don't let the reputation of the Qin family continue to be damaged for me. ”

"You are the bloodline of the Holy King. Protecting you, taking care of you, and making your life happy and happy, that is the way to prove our honor. It would be a fair deal, we don't have the kind of ambition and ** that the usurper thinks, he'll know. She sighed deeply, "I just want my family to be safe, and if one day I can take my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to receive the blessings of my subjects in Harvest Square, it will be the most honorable thing in my life." ”

Dailan's cheeks were wet with tears, and she spread her arms and fell on her mother-in-law's shoulders. "Ever since I came here, I've been living in the abyss, spending every day in the dark. I can only rely on the power conveyed in those books to achieve temporary peace, but it is only today, with your arrival, that I feel that there is still hope in life. ”

"Child, life is a fruit of suffering, and only with faith and hope can we taste its special taste. She hugged her daughter-in-law tightly and whispered in her ear.
