Chapter 139: Expected
Ying Changshi thought that he had made all the preparations, and he knew that he must be imprisoned this time, but when it was really in front of him, he still felt palpitations.
Especially, when Tang Wanzhou and the others came out of the study, pulled a chair and sat in the middle hall, looking at him coldly, he felt even more frightened.
He already knew who Tang Wanzhou was, and he had already experienced Tang Wanzhou's methods, but this fear could not have any comforting effect because he knew it early, he was still pale by Tang Wanzhou's anger, took two steps back, and shivered, retreated to the side and looked at him in horror, not knowing what to do.
Tang Wanzhou obviously sensed Ying Changshi's fear.
But this is nothing special for Tang Wanzhou.
Because there are no officials who see him coming to the door, there is no one who is not afraid, and it is not for nothing that he is a hundred times more embarrassed than Ying Changshi, and there are still many people.
Now seeing Ying Changshi looking at him with a frightened and defensive expression, Tang Wanzhou smiled neatly: "Ying Changshi looks really polite, and I can't see that behind this sanctimonious appearance, there is a heart like a jackal." ”
Ying Changshi swallowed nervously.
At this point, he knew that he couldn't escape, so although he didn't know why Tang Wanzhou didn't take him back to the edict, but even if he started to ask him here, he still tried his best to calm down, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth as he had discussed with King Lu when he was in King Lu's mansion before: "The lower official is guilty, but the lower official also obeys the instructions."
Tang Wanzhou squinted lazily: "Oh? Whose instructions are you following? ”
Ying Changshi had already thought of the wording, and at this time he said very smoothly: "It's Princess Lu, the princess Niangniang is at odds with the prince, so she wants to do something to attract the prince to change her mind, after thinking about it, Princess Lu thought that Concubine Xian Niangniang was in charge of palace affairs, and she was anxious about the marriage of His Royal Highness King Qi, so she thought of finding a good family for His Royal Highness King Qi In this way, Concubine Xian Niangniang can do this, and naturally she will speak for Princess Niangniang in front of King Lu, so that they can get back together." ”
These words have been said countless times in my heart, and now they are said very smoothly.
Ying Changshi nervously observed Tang Wanzhou's face, wanting to see whether Tang Wanzhou believed it or not.
But Tang Wanzhou didn't react at all, just snorted with a smile and asked, "Really?" That's it? ”
Ying Changshi couldn't see Tang Wanzhou's thoughts at all, so he could only stubbornly say: "Yes, that's the case, Weichen also persuaded the princess Niangniang, this move is not possible, after all, King Qi's marriage and the Ministry of Rites are helping to select the list, even if there is no her, you can choose a suitable princess." It's just that Princess Lu refused to listen, she felt that the Ministry of Rites had picked for so many years, and she didn't choose the right one for His Royal Highness King Qi, so she insisted on going her own way and chose Lu Er's girl, after all, Lu Er's identity is suitable, although she was born in Houmen, but Chang Yong's Hou's Mansion is not an ordinary Houmen, just worthy of His Royal Highness King Qi and Lu Er's appearance, and she is smart, if she is chosen, whether it is King Qi or Concubine De, even if it is Shengshang and the Queen Mother, she will definitely be satisfied."
He thought about it, and tried to be as smooth as possible: "So, the princess asked me to help me think about ideas, and I can't make mistakes."
put all the fault on Princess Lu's head.
Tang Wanzhou sat in the circle chair and listened to Ying Changshi leisurely, and even clapped her hands.
seems to be applauding Ying Changshi's words.
But Ying Changshi was not happy, he knew very well in his heart that Tang Wanzhou didn't believe his words at all.
His eyes were all indifferent.
But whether Tang Wanzhou believes these words or not, he can only insist that this is the case.
Otherwise, once a flaw is exposed, other arguments will not be tenable, and King Lu will definitely be implicated.
Ying Changshi is very firm.
Tang Wanzhou sighed, and lazily asked Ying Changshi: "Ying Changshi, have you already calculated in your heart, if you admit this crime, what will be the consequences and what crime will you be?" ”
It's natural.
Ying Changshi thought so, but he couldn't just admit it, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "No, no, no, how could an adult say that?" Lord Tang really misunderstood me, how dare I? ”
Tang Wanzhou was sarcastic, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Do you know how Princess Baochuan is now?" ”
Why did you suddenly talk about Princess Baochuan again?
The topic changed too quickly, and Ying Changshi didn't react for a while, but he didn't know why, when he heard Tang Wanzhou ask, he still chuckled in his heart, moved his mouth, and asked in a low voice: "What does Lord Tang want to say?" ”
This doesn't seem to be Tang Wanzhou's usual style of doing things, according to Tang Wanzhou's temperament in the past, at this time, it is time to use punishment.
After all, those torture instruments are not for fun.
Ying Changshi was even ready to carry it hard, but he didn't expect that up to now, Tang Wanzhou didn't have any intention of being executed, and he hadn't even arrested him, just going around in circles with him in the same place.
If a person knows that he is going to die, then the process of waiting for death is not so terrible.
The most terrifying thing is that you don't know if you are going to die or not, and what will happen to you, which is the most panicked, and the process is even more tormenting.
This is the case now.
He swallowed his saliva, his face was a little pale and waited for Tang Wanzhou's follow-up move.
Tang Wanzhou was silent for a long time.
It was so long that Ying Changshi couldn't stand it, and even felt depressed, so he said slowly: "Princess Baochuan has been given to death." ”
Death!
These two words drilled into his ears, Ying Changshi didn't react at first, and when he reacted, he was shocked to realize that he had already broken out in a cold sweat!
When they were in the Lu Palace, they had also discussed the consequences of this matter, but the most serious consequences, in their opinion, could not be a capital crime.
Especially Princess Baochuan, she has made a lot of mistakes over the years, and it is not without mistakes, such as Lu Ziqian's matter, Lu Ziqian colluded with Tao Yuan, and killed the first prince, such a big crime, if it is put on anyone, it should be done to destroy the family, but because of Princess Baochuan, it is okay if Lu Ziqian himself is dead, and the others are not affected, and the people of the Lu family and Lu Ziqian's children have not had any accidents.
