Chapter 168: Late Night Comes
At night, Lu Yanqing sat in prison, his face gloomy and terrifying.
Autumn queen means August, and today is the end of July, and the time of death is approaching.
It is meaningless to panic at this time, but Lu Yanqing does not have any means to contact the outside world, and can only hope that Chu Qiongxi will spread the news of his arrest to Yuxi Academy.
Although Lu Yanqing also felt very sorry for Chu Qiongxi, Chu Ying knew that he was forced to take his life, which made Lu Yanqing very unwilling.
What makes Lu Yanqing puzzled is that Chu Ying obviously has the right to behead himself immediately, why did he have to push it to the queen of autumn? This made Lu Yanqing speculate about Chu Ying's intentions.
After a long time, Lu Yanqing sighed helplessly and chose to lie on the straw mat; After all, he is not Chu Ying, and he has never been able to understand Chu Ying's thoughts.
After lying down, a deep sleepiness swept over me, and I fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Yanqing suddenly felt that something fell lightly on his body.
Lu Yan Qingqiang raised his spirit and opened his eyes, only to see a figure covering himself with a quilt.
It's just that the environment in this cell is quite dark, and Lu Yanqing can't see this person's face clearly.
Lu Yanqing immediately pouted on this person's wrist and asked loudly, "Who is it?" ”
The man was grabbed by Lu Yanqing's wrist and replied softly, "Master Lu is me." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yanqing let go of his hand, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Chu Qiongxi, which was somewhat unexpected by Lu Yanqing.
It stands to reason that the emperor shouldn't take strict care of Chu Qiongxi? But how could this Chu Qiongxi appear in the dungeon?
"Why are you here?" Lu Yanqing sounded tentatively.
Chu Qiongxi said softly: "I heard that this dungeon is extremely cold, so I sneaked out and added a bed and quilt for you." ”
"But how did you get into the dungeon?" Lu Yanqing asked.
This dungeon is heavily guarded, and it is obviously not a place that Chu Qiongxi can sneak into.
Chu Qiongxi said: "My father let me in." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Qiongxi's words made Lu Yanqing a little confused, since she ran out secretly, what happened to the emperor letting her in? Could it be that Chu Qiongxi bumped into the emperor outside the dungeon? But this obviously doesn't make sense.
"I wanted to use the imperial decree to enter this dungeon, but I met Master Li, the waiter of the Criminal Department, outside the dungeon, he said that he was a student of Yuxi Academy, so he directly let me in, if there was no instruction from his father, how could he have such courage?"
Saying that, Chu Qiongxi couldn't help but smile, his father's intention was self-evident.
Thinking of this, Chu Qiongxi's face couldn't help but blush slightly, fortunately, there was a dark night to cover it, otherwise if his expression was looked at by Lu Yanqing, I am afraid that Chu Qiongxi would not be able to raise his head shyly.
Hearing Chu Qiongxi say this, Lu Yanqing was directly stunned in place, if it was not expected, he should have thought of going with Chu Qiongxi.
The reason why Chu Ying made such an arrangement was obviously to send a signal to Lu Yanqing and Chu Qiongxi; And asking Lu Yanqing is probably just a joke, and I am afraid that it was deliberately done in order to win more benefits.
Thinking of this, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
If it was really like what Lu Yanqing thought, Lu Yanqing really didn't know what to do.
For a moment, the two were silent, obviously waiting for the other to say something.
Lu Yanqing and Chu Qiongxi are both smart people, they both know each other, but they don't know how to pierce this layer of window paper.
In the end, it was Lu Yanqing who took the lead in opening his mouth, after all, he is a man, and he should be responsible for his actions, whether he did it intentionally or not is a later story.
"Princess Qiongxi, today's incident was not intentional on my part, I thought that I could suppress the effect of the aphrodisiac with Confucianism, but after I seriously injured Ge Jianming, I found that there was no such thing at all, so I did that kind of dirty thing to you, please ......"
Speaking of this, Lu Yanqing suddenly stopped, he didn't know what to say.
Please Chu Qiongxi is magnanimous? Or do you ask Lord Chu Qiongxi not to remember the villain? None of this is quite appropriate.
I took away her chastity, once this kind of thing is lost, it will be gone, not to mention that it is a more conservative society now, and women regard their chastity as more important than life, so how can Lu Yanqing say the words to ask Chu Qiongxi for forgiveness?
Seeing that Lu Yanqing was suddenly speechless, Chu Qiongxi hurriedly spoke:
"Master Lu doesn't have to blame himself, if it weren't for you, I might have been poisoned by Ge Jianming's villain, as for ...... What happened between you and me, it was all forced to happen, and you and I don't have to be so entangled. ”
Although Chu Qiongxi did not mean to blame Lu Yanqing, it made Lu Yanqing even more ashamed.
It's not that Lu Yanqing doesn't have the idea of being responsible for Chu Qiongxi, it's just that Lu Yanqing already has a family, how can Lu Yanqing let Mo Wanyan, who loves him so much, feel cold?
And Chu Qiongxi also knew about this, because Lu Yanqing had helped Mo Wanyan ask Chu Qiongxi what kind of rouge gouache he used, and when he heard that Mo Wanyan liked the taste of this rouge gouache very much, Chu Qiongxi also specially gave Lu Yanqing some and asked him to take it back for Mo Wanyan to use.
Thinking of this, Lu Yanqing felt that it was better not to pierce this window paper as a last resort.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." Lu Yanqing replied with a wry smile.
After being silent for a while, Chu Qiongxi opened his mouth and persuaded Lu Yanqing and said, "Master Lu, no matter what, it's important to save your life first, don't be rash." ”
Lu Yanqing bowed slightly, "I'll try my best." ”
Lu Yanqing couldn't agree directly to this kind of thing, so he still had to make a decision according to the situation.
Hearing this, Chu Qiongxi's eyes couldn't help but dim a little, so he said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave first." ”
"Well, Her Royal Highness the princess be careful on the road."
After Chu Qiongxi walked out of the cell, a jailer locked Lu Yanqing's cell again, thinking that the jailer should also be a spy sent by the emperor.
After Chu Qiongxi left, Lu Yanqing fell asleep, until he woke up the next morning, only to see that a delicate breakfast had been placed at the door of the cell, which was obviously prepared for himself by Chu Qiongxi.
……
On the official road from Yuxi Academy to Chujing, a carriage galloped away and kicked up billowing dust.
Inside the carriage, Mo Wanyan anxiously asked Lian Fu Tao on the side, "Master, Lu Lang, he's fine, right?" ”
Even Fu Tao's expression was also quite anxious, but he still said with relief: "Don't worry, he will be fine with Yanqing; Lu Yanqing acted quite steadily, and naturally there was something hidden in it, and the truth would be revealed after seeing Lu Yanqing. ”
Last night, Lian Fu Tao was called to the study by Jiang Yangshuo and saw the emperor's imperial letter from the imperial city.
It's just that the letter only said that Lu Yanqing was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, but he didn't say a word about what happened.
Early this morning, Lian Fu Tao explained the situation to Mo Wanyan, Mo Wanyan was relieved that Lu Yanqing could not go down, and he had to go with Lu Yanqing, but even Fu Tao couldn't resist Mo Wanyan, so this scene on the carriage appeared......
