Chapter Seventy-One: His Royal Highness Agrees to Let Her Go
Song He'er never thought that the mother and daughter locked up in the next cell would escape privately, because this was absolutely impossible to happen.
There are soldiers guarding the prison layer by layer, how can two helpless women escape?
"Xiangxiu, could it be that you heard it wrong, there are so many people watching at the prison gate, how can those two crazy women run out?"
Xiangxiu breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly affirmed, "Yes, there is nothing wrong at all, I heard those soldiers report like this with my own ears, and then they seem to have said some other things, but I didn't hear it clearly, Miss He'er, you better hurry in, don't ask Your Highness to wait." ”
Song He'er forced herself to keep calm, now Qin Xiaoniang and they have been sent out, so whatever happens next has to be faced by themselves, as long as they insist on tomorrow morning, Qin Xiaoniang and they will leave the secret passage safely, and even if everyone in the palace knows about it, it will be too late.......
Thinking of this, Song He'er took a step forward and walked towards the inner hall of Yangyue Palace step by step.
Pushing open the door, I saw Jiang Huaifu standing in front of the bookcase, looking intently at the portrait in his hand, his sword eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was very unhappy.
An ominous premonition permeated Song He'er's whole body, she held her breath and respectfully saluted him.
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Huaifu didn't speak, but rolled up the portrait in his hand, put it aside, and then raised his head and looked at her with a torch in his eyes.
"You dare to play this king."
Song He'er raised her head innocently, pretending not to know, and asked, "Your Highness, what did you say?" ”
"The daughter of the General's Mansion has extraordinary courage and dares to come to my Xizhou to spread wild."
As soon as these words came out, Song He'er's heart instantly had a bottom, it seems that this sensitive and quirky little prince is not a vegetarian, and he actually investigated her life experience behind her back.
If she didn't guess wrong, the Li mother and daughter were deliberately let go by him.
"The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say, if I want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
Scold! She's not going to die! With so many self-saving things in her space, how could they die at the hands of a group of little thieves?
The corners of Jiang Huaifu's mouth pulled out a cold smile, "Okay, you have the courage, and this king didn't misunderstand you, let's be honest, what mistake did your family make that caused the whole family to be exiled to that barren land?" ”
Song He'er must delay time and create a chance for Qin Xiaoniang and them to leave safely, since Jiang Huaifu wants to ask, then tell him that there is nothing to hide now anyway.
"My father has been an official in the court for more than ten years, who expected to encounter a mutiny, the old and new dynasties, the general betrayed the lord to seek glory, although my father stayed out of the matter, but also could not hide from the framing of others, the official family listened to slander, mistakenly thought that my father raised troops to rebel, so he was dismissed and exiled."
Jiang Huaifu looked at her thoughtfully: "Then the emperor has wronged you?" ”
"It's not wrong."
"What do you mean?"
Song He'er didn't have a good impression of this father, so now she doesn't need to care about his glory at all, as for those things, whether they do it or not, they all know it in each other's hearts, why should she help him hide it?
"Although my father did not participate in court disputes for self-preservation, he also had a lot of dealings with some officials in private.
Jiang Huaifu picked up the portrait on the table and walked towards Song He'er step by step.
"See for yourself."
Song He'er took the portrait, opened it to look at it, and found that a lifelike young woman was drawn on it, wearing a pink water-sleeved long skirt.
As a concubine, although she is not dressed up very exquisitely, it is difficult to hide her beauty.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness has sent someone to the Central Plains to investigate my life experience these days, but His Royal Highness has let go of my mother-in-law, it can be seen that you are not a person with a small belly, and you don't want to get into trouble, after all, we are all prisoners in the Central Plains, and you detain prisoners privately, if the emperor of the Central Plains knows, it will not be good for you, right?"
Jiang Huaifu smiled and raised his head quite successfully, "I can hand you over to the court generals on the border, maybe this king can still get a piece of merit and receive some rewards from your Central Plains Emperor?" ”
Song He'er pinched a cold sweat, this was exactly what she was afraid of, if it really fell into the hands of those officers and soldiers, she didn't know how much she would suffer along the way.
Jiang Huaifu saw that her face was a little ugly, so he didn't say anything, but walked to the bookcase again, stared at the books on it for a long time, and then said lightly, "If you are willing to continue to stay by the side of this king, as a little maidservant, this king will definitely protect you thoroughly, and save you from the endless suffering at the border." ”
Song He'er was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, I once heard Aunt Miao say that I look a lot like a friend of yours before, right?" ”
Jiang Huaifu's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and he didn't move for a long time.
"Your Highness......."
"Like, not like."
"But I'm not her after all, we come from different places, have different personalities, and have different lives, I have a responsibility on my back, if we can't reach Xinzhou smoothly, everyone in the general's mansion will be implicated, including my grandfather, so please forgive your highness, I can't stay."
"I'll naturally help you with these things, you don't have to worry about it at all."
"But up and down the general's mansion, all the female dependents are added together, there are dozens of them, one or two less than no one is investigated, if all of them are gone, the Central Plains will definitely find them, and I hope Your Highness will think twice, the people are not willing to make trouble for you."
Song He'er understood Jiang Huaifu's mood at this time, he had lost what he thought was more important, and of course he urgently needed something to replace it to make up for the emptiness in his heart, so he was so eager to keep himself.
But she didn't want to be an object, and she didn't want to be a stand-in for someone else.
It was an accident that she came to this world, although her identity and encounter made her feel unlucky, but she also had to follow the trajectory, and she would definitely not steal her life.
Jiang Huaifu was obviously a little sad, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Your Highness, please let the folk girl go." Song He'er reminded again.
Jiang Huaifu closed his eyes and pondered, and after thinking for a long time, he finally nodded.
"This king will inform someone to send you out tomorrow."
"Your Highness, there is one more thing.......
"You want to say that you've let your little lady go, right? These kings have known for a long time, but it's a pity that your intelligence is not as good as half of this king, you are afraid that you have forgotten, this is the palace, do you think that without the permission of this king, you will easily enter the secret passage? ”
