Chapter 351: The Heavenly Prison (1st Update)
Su Rong sat in Yan Echo's carriage and went with him to the prison of the Criminal Department.
The precious concubine committed a serious crime, the emperor issued a death order, and the secretary of the criminal department used Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee, so if there was no emperor's edict, not a single fly could fly in.
Prince Yan Echo naturally held the emperor's edict, and after coming to the prison, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally greeted him.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been living in the Criminal Department for almost all these days, and he doesn't even dare to go back to his home, and he doesn't dare to leave a step. The last time I let people die in the prison, the criminal department took responsibility, and later, whether it was the Protector's Mansion or the Ruian Palace, they didn't believe in the Criminal Department, and even the Dali Temple and the Beijing Mansion Yamen couldn't be trusted. The black gauze hat on the head of Shangshu of the Criminal Department is no longer very stable, and if he wants to continue to be an official, he has to let go.
Therefore, he straightened out the upper and lower levels of the criminal department, pulled out the nails, and personally guarded the criminal department.
Sure enough, his actions worked, and the precious concubine is still alive and well, and if His Majesty doesn't say let her die, she can't die.
After reading the emperor's edict, Shangshu of the Criminal Department handed it back to Yan Huisheng, and hurriedly gave it over, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please Miss Su Qi." ”
He led the way, personally accompanied him, and brought Yan Echo and Su Rong to the precious concubine's cell.
Even if the precious concubine is in prison, it is also good to use it in prison, which is in line with her status as a concubine. The cell where she lived was also a first-class cell, not clammy and cold, and with a charcoal basin, it was extremely warm, no different from a woman's boudoir.
Seeing someone coming, the precious concubine raised her eyelids and glanced at it, her face expressionless and indifferent.
Yan Echo stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the precious concubine, and said loudly, "Father said that he will not see the concubine Niangniang in the future, your case will be handed over to Gu Lai for trial, does the concubine Niangniang have anything to explain?" If there is no confession, Lone will be convicted according to the evidence that Lone has checked. ”
If she is convicted, the precious concubine has committed such a big case, which is naturally a capital crime.
Only then did the precious concubine have some expressions, and she replied to Yan: "This palace is pregnant." ”
Yan Echo looked stunned.
Su Rong thought to himself, the eldest princess is pregnant, pregnant with an imperial heir, a precious concubine, a good guy, and she is also pregnant. Being pregnant is a life-saving talisman, and they are rushing to squeeze one by one.
"So what?" Yan Echo's face was calm, "Does the concubine want to tell her father alone?" Exonerating you from capital crimes? Let you raise the fetus with peace of mind and give birth to the heirs of your father? ”
The precious concubine looked at him, "This palace is pregnant, shouldn't you tell Your Majesty?" ”
Yan echo shook his head, "My father has handed over the case of the concubine to Gu, so if I don't tell my father, it depends on whether the concubine is cooperative." If the concubine Niangniang confesses to the person behind the scenes, she can open the net and give her father the emperor if she is alone in the mother's guilt and has a dragon heir. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes that the child of this palace would not be known to His Majesty, and he would not be able to give birth, right?" The precious concubine asked.
Yan Huisheng smiled, "Guifei Niangniang thinks too much, there are many lonely brothers, and this one is not worse than your belly." If the concubine wants to use him to save her life, it depends on whether you cooperate or not. ”
"You're threatening Hongu?" The precious concubine looked at Yan Echo.
"So to speak." Yan echoes the head.
The precious concubine looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department behind Yan Echo, "Lord Li, this palace said that this palace is pregnant." Are you deaf? ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not move, as if he didn't hear it, and he really thought he was deaf.
The precious concubine looked at him and sneered, "Lord Li, a third-grade important minister in the court, is now taking refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Does Your Majesty know? ”
The criminal department did not speak, as if he had not heard it.
As long as he is not a fool, he should understand that now the eldest prince has lost power, and the second prince is no better, the prince has risen to power, and even His Majesty the precious concubine has been handed over to the prince for arraignment.
The precious concubine turned to Su Rong again, "Su Rong, do you want to watch this palace die?" ”
Su Rongwan'er, "The noble concubine is so forgetful, you have severed the relationship with my master, and it has nothing to do with me, why can't I watch you die?" She changed her voice, "However, you don't have to die, you are the only one who can save you." She added, "If you can't bear the unborn child in your womb." ”
The precious concubine put her hand on her lower abdomen, "This palace has not been pregnant for ten years, do you know why?" ”
No one answered.
The precious concubine said to herself: "That's because this palace doesn't want to be pregnant." ”
Yan echoed and said lightly: "The concubine has to be saved by Zhang Ping, even if she is still kind, ten years is enough." Because of your pillow wind, Zhang Ping has gained a lot over the years, took his father's secret decree, and bought troops, his father thought that Zhang Ping was loyal to him, and the second brother thought that his father-in-law was to support him on the throne, but they were all wrong, General Zhang had his own ambitions, and what he wanted was probably the ninety-five position of Emperor Liang. The concubine only knows that he saved your life, but as everyone knows, the grace you think is saving your life, it is just his plan, the person that the concubine Niangniang likes, Zhang Ping's strategist Duan Xiao, has already been a group of wives and concubines, the two of them, using the honor of the concubine Niangniang, one is ambitious, the other is prosperous and rich, but the concubine Niangniang, you are exhausted, turn your head, sit in this prison, no one will save you. Perhaps, they wish you were dead, are you sure you don't want to live? ”
Concubine Precious Concubine's face finally changed, "I don't believe a word of what you say." ”
Yan Echo took out a file from his sleeve and handed it to the precious concubine, "If the noble concubine doesn't believe it, read it for yourself!" ”
The precious concubine didn't want to take it, but the ghost sent the god to send it, so she still reached out and took it in her hand.
The dossier that Yan Echo gave her was not thick, only a few pages, but it did record in detail the facts verified by his subordinates. When the precious concubine was like a flower, she fell in love with a poor scholar who was destitute, the two admired each other, her father did not agree, the precious concubine did not hesitate to sever the father-daughter relationship, but also to marry that person, and then she really married, the husband and wife loved, but the good times did not last long, but for half a year, the poor scholar sold paintings and quarreled with others, caused a lawsuit, the precious concubine had no way to ask for help, and was almost bullied in the deep alley, it was Zhang Ping who passed by and saved her, she took the opportunity to beg Zhang Ping, save her husband, Zhang Ping agreed, but there was a condition, let her repay the grace of saving her life, She participated in that year's draft.
In order to save her husband, the precious concubine tearfully agreed, but there was also a condition, saying that her husband had ambitions, but she was depressed, and begged Zhang Ping to give her husband a chance. Zhang Ping also agreed.
Zhang Ping took a fancy to the beauty of the precious concubine back then, and the precious concubine did not live up to her beauty and became the precious concubine who favored the sixth palace.
Things are simple to say, but back then, Zhang Ping planned and wasted a lot of strength, and even single-handedly plotted the precious concubine into the trap, otherwise with the precious concubine having martial arts to defend herself, how could she be almost insulted in the deep alley.
